Nothing about Nigeria is incredible:

A country so corrupt it would be better to burn our aid money

In essence, 80 per cent of the country’s substantial oil revenues go to the government, which disburses cash to individual governors and hundreds of their cronies, so effectively these huge sums remain in the hands of a mere 1 per cent of the Nigerian population.
But the sick joke is:

By the end of its term of office, the British Government will have handed over £1 billion in aid to Nigeria.
I would caution the yanks reading this not to laugh until they see what their government is pouring down the drain in Nigeria.

The only guys laughing are the 1% of Nigerians with their snouts firmly in the trough!
