.... it would probably be on par with Nigeria
Perhaps you should learn the basic art of public speaking/writing if you need for your opinions to be taken seriously. You just distracted from the substance of your contribution by opening your statement with this gross stereotype. The article under discussion addresses an attempt to erroneously tarnish a certain entity (Open Source) and your contribution in defense of the said article opens with a broad brush painting a whole country and its people with tar - needlessly and unjustifiably so, if I may say.
If you were not so daft and bigoted, you'd have omitted that reference and, pehaps, one would have been tempted to actually read hat you have to say. Now, if you truly know that that particular country is more corrupt than, say, the shining beacon of probity called, oh.. I don't know... the US of A, I'd like to read the facts and figures - as long as you are not pulling them from the posterior.
Something tells me that you have no such facts, and that your opening statement was nothing but an infantile perpetuation of a stereotype, FUD, and blatant dis-information - the same thing this article was aiming to bat down.
