Hold your horses! Hasn’t Switzerland already returned $700m, following appeals from the Nigerian government? Hasn’t nothing already materialised from thereof, vis-à-vis the political and economic development of the country? So, why then should an enlightened Swiss Nation collaborate with an unenlightened World Bank to transit back some $380m (£260m) to the Nigerian government again? It just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, and further tallies up the inadequacy from the West (in this case, a western agency like the World Bank) when schemes don’t suit their personal interests.

This, all boils down to “Transparency”, as said by the BBC’s Will Ross - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-31933083. And should now also boil down to the fact that it is quite unambiguous that the amount of corruption coursing through the Nigerian government in regards to the fiscal/ monetary policies that they already possess is colossal, so why then should “Transparency” of new funds be allocated to them again, the Nigerian government? Again, common sense should be the prevailing factor here, but once again, we just see more signs of an African government crying wolf, and the International community turning hunter.
