But we can have someone not living in Switzerland talking how Nigeria is better in corruption that Switzerland, see the how easy you're breaking your own rules?

Besides the whole comparison is simply stupid, I'm going to say it, stupid, you're comparing the banking industry in one country with the entire government in other, which makes no sense whatsoever, is a banker accepting to store money from a corrupt foreigner impacting on the life or well being of the citizens? No! It's government official taking bribes and canceling or allowing projects at random impacting the life, yeah, it is!
And it's not just me, it's your own citizen hat call it out, it's called perception index
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index

That’s the point I’ve been driving at all along. Nigeria has been painted go to be the worst of the worst but that’s not entirely the case here.
Something have to be made straight here, it’s not a comparison on Switzerland and Nigeria, no. That wouldn’t go and I don’t even know how that comparison kicked in and it’s something I wouldn’t want to go into. Comparing an entire governance with a sector of a nation, no not again I must say. It’s not a comparison. It’s simply, having to identify that there is corruption and corrupt practices just in about every nation and no one is being so loud about it, painting the nations to be the worst with every statement that comes off there lips.

Like stated in OP, there are forms to corruption and one of the itemized is in Money Laundering and Siphoning. It’s just about identifying this and not making any comparison what so ever so, let’s skip the Switzerland thing.

I had to go over the index you provided and it’s a good piece of material with detailed findings. Listing nations/territories in scores perceived as corrupt and less corrupted.
While the positioning of a nation might be just that, the scores highlighted the perception of which, the research material ans per last updated in 2022 in its index scores Nigeria 24. You could as well see some nations way below 10 for a score perceived as corrupted. I wouldn’t want to mention any country so we don’t get the idea of having a comparison but, you don’t find no one painting them like they are the worst people in the world.
Next thing would be on how Nigerians are corrupt and the generalization sets in. It ought not to be so:

There are others but, I wouldn’t want to dig into the dirts of other nations with my filthy hands still trying to solve mine.

That's exactly what you have done!
All your post was trying to find dirt on another country you've probably never set foot in just to defend yours!

Of course not stompix, am sure you understand that’s not the case here but, let’s disagree to agree for some forward here.

We have problems and we would solve them!

Acknowledge them first!

This is an idea that is deeply embedded in my ethics for a being. The first step to problem solving is knowing that, you’ve got a problem. If you don’t, then there would sure be no reason for worry or nothing to solve. That’s something well known to me.

We’ve got corruption problems and it continues to root itself deep in the fabrics of the nation but, there are changes being done as well. No one is actually speaking about it but it’s coming.
Like, a state in Nigeria which I wouldn’t want to mention; where we have an out going governor through corrupt practices puts a government in place and designs a structure for indirect rule of the state even as he serves as a federal minister, with hopes to have 25% of state allocations.
The incumbent government deemed it well to kick against the injustice that was to be done to its people and with the backing of his people and court, his being going about revolutionizing the whole state. Trying to ensure peace in the crisis that was to follow but still, no one would talk about that.

We see the problem and with the right person in office, we would solve the problem. Nigerians are good people I tell you.
