Nigeria, again, got a poor rating in the 2012 Ibrahim Index of African Governance, published on Monday by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation.
The country was scored low in human rights, political freedom, transparency and accountability.
Other African countries that got the bashing of the foundation were South Africa, Kenya and Egypt.

This information came as the Mo Ibrahim Prize committee announced that none of the continent’s recent former leaders won the £3.2m award for “excellence in African leadership” set up by Sudanese-born billionaire, Mo Ibrahim, in 2007.
In the rankings by the Foundation, the four countries performed woefully in safety and rule of law, and participation and human rights – two of the four categories used in assessing good governance across the continent.
