The USNews reports that in the survey, respondents answered how closely they related each of the 60 countries to the term “corrupt.”
Respondents were given no further specifications of the term, so interpretation of the word “corrupt” was left to survey respondents.
Russia, seen as the second-most powerful country in the world, is also seen as the sixth most corrupt.
Meanwhile, Colombia – a country synonymous with illegal drug kingpins like Pablo Escobar – gives Nigeria a run for its money as the second most corrupt country, based on perception.
