"Fantastically Corrupt"

The above adjectives is the way British Prime Minister, David Cameron described my beloved country Nigeria, "Fantastically Corrupt" This caused an outrage in Nigeria. It got me wondering, what is actually wrong with the statement? Who are the people outraged? Is it because he used the word "fantastically"? Are we not Corrupt? Nigeria is corrupt, simple. If not, how do we describe the actions of people like Dasuki, Ohakim, Deziani, Udenwa, Haruna, Nenadi Usman, and the rest of them that I did not mention or I won't have any space to finish this article, who took billions of Naira that was meant for other projects. How do you describe when a top government officials takes money from Central Bank and give it out like it is his personal money? How do you describe the country that has an outfit like NIMASA where billions of Naira were paid for projects that does not exist?
These people that are outraged are the same people that are involved in these acts. If they don't want the country to be labeled corrupt, then how do we describe the country where Customs and Immigration officers at the international airport will stand right in the mist of everybody and tell a traveler that the food items he is carrying out of the country will be quarantined. They do everything possible to delay and frustrate the traveler, but once you produce a couple of Naira notes, the food items will be let through. How do we describe a country where Police Inspector General said that renewing tinted glass license is free, yet Nigerians are made to pay N25000 by the police for renewal. I don't even want to go into police extortion on the roads or bailing somebody at the police stations. The list is endless.
President Buhari is doing a good job fighting corrupt, but the country has not yet reached that stage where the corruption tag can be removed. So he should not be "embarrassed" as his press secretary said.
