It is a popular saying that what a man can do, a woman can do better.

Nigerian leaders are known for looting public funds to enrich themselves and store up riches for their unborn generations. Majority of this is done predominantly by male leaders, because they occupy most notable positions.

However, a few Nigerian women have entered the list of corrupt leaders due to one or two money laundering scandals they were involved in. Over the years we have had some of these corruption scandals go viral on the internet and newspapers across the nation, and these women listed in this article are the top five prominent women whose corruption scandals shook Nigeria.

5. Iyabo Obasanjo N300 Million Money Laundering Scandal
Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello is the daughter of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo. She is a highly educated veterinarian doctor from the University of Ibadan, and has a Masters degree from University of California, and a PhD also.

In 2008, EFFC charged her to court over a N300 million unspent budget of the federal Ministry of Health. She urged the court to quash the charges on the grounds that the N10 million allegedly given to her by the Ministry of Health was spent on the Senate Committee on Health members as bribe. She and her colleagues also collected N500, 000 each and an all expenses paid trip for a seminar in an exquisite hotel in Ghana which they all attended except two members who were not interested in the scheme.
