QUEEN ELIZABETH'S COUNSEL,PROF.ODITAH SAYS DAVID CAMERON WAS IMPOLITE FOR HIS UTTERANCE AGAINST NIGERIA

The fact that Judas was corrupt among the 12 disciples of our Lord does not mean that all the disciples were corrupt.The fact that a small portion of the Nigeria populace is truly 'fantastically corrupt' does not imply that the entire populace is corrupt and so must be painted as such before the entire world.Under this present government,Nigeria is working hard to fight corruption and David Cameron should have at least a bit cautious in the way and manner in which he described the people of Nigeria.Or is he not aware of what our president is currently doing against corruption?

Read the short story.
Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), ‎Prof Fidelis Oditah, has admitted that a recent comment attributed to UK Prime Minister, David Cameron that Nigeria is fantastically corrupt is true but politically incorrect and impolite.

Oditah, who doubles as a Queen’s Counsel, believes that “The comment may be impolite and is politically incorrect because as far as we know, Nigeria and Britain are friendly nations.
“I don’t think it’s good politics to make such a statement about an ally on the eve of the anti-corruption convention.
“I think that Nigerians should be happy that the British prime minister is telling them that Nigeria is ‘fantastically corrupt’ because the country is indeed fantastically corrupt,” he said.
Oditah said there were still exceptional Nigerians who were not corrupt, and therefore, he did not think the statement was a characterisation of all citizens.
“I think the statement has to be understood in that context. I don’t think he’s speaking about each of every of the 170 million Nigerians.
“In general, the country is fantastically corrupt, both in the public and private sector. ‎I think that such statement should be understood to be addressing the generality,” he said.
