Nigeria very corrupt place – Israel Adesanya

New Zealander-Nigerian mixed martial artist, Israel
Adesanya has described Nigeria as “a very corrupt place”.

He said he loves Nigerians but there are a lot of
red flags about the country.

The Last Stylebender was featured in the recent
episode of the Hut Boxin’ audiovisual podcast.

Adesanya pointed out that the Nigerian leaders are
desperate to loot public funds.

He said, “Nigeria is a very corrupt place. I love my
people but it is just that the government; everyone trying to find a way to
siphon money.”

Recall that Israel Adesanya donned the Nigerian flag
as he defeated long-term foe Alex Pereira via knockout at UFC 287 on April 9,
2023, to reclaim his Middleweight title.

He was paid $3.18 million for his fight against the
Brazilian, making him the third current highest-paid UFC Fighter, behind Conor
McGregor and Jon Jones.

It is his highest-ever payout.
