The immediate past United States Secretary of State, Mrs. Hillary Clinton, in separate events in New York City said the Nigerian government under President Goodluck Jonathan, squandered its oil resources, and indirectly helps corruption to fester in the Boko Haram troubled country.

In the words of Hillary Clinton: “The government of Nigeria has been, in my view, somewhat derelict in its responsibility toward protecting boys and girls, men and women in northern Nigeria over the last years.

“The Nigerian government must accept help – particularly intelligence, surveillance and recognizance help – their troops have to be the ones that (are) necessary, but they could do a better job if they accept the offers that are being made. Nigeria has made bad choices, not hard choices,” Clinton said.
“They have squandered their oil wealth; they have allowed corruption to fester, and now they are losing control of parts of their (own) territory because they would not make hard choices.”

Mrs. Clinton spoke with ABC-TV’s Robin Roberts on American national television, and also at a public function organized by the International Crisis Group. Later, the former Senator and First Lady made other critical remarks concerning Nigeria at a philanthropy parley, as she was widely quoted by several American media outlets, including CNN.

Clinton stated the following position in the New York events she attended, challenging the credibility and quality of the country’s leadership under President Jonathan’s watch.

“The seizure of these young women by this radical, extremist group, Boko Haram, is abominable, it’s criminal, it’s an act of terrorism, and it really merits the fullest response possible, first and foremost from the government of Nigeria.

“The Nigerian government has failed to confront the threat, or to address the underlying challenges. Most of all, the government of Nigeria needs to get serious about protecting all of its citizens and ensuring that every child has the right and opportunity to go to school,” she said in her address to the function organized by the International Crisis Group.

“Every asset and expertise should be brought to bear. Everyone needs to see this for what it is, it is a gross human rights abuse, but it is also part of a continuing struggle within Nigeria and within North Africa,” she added.

Her words for now don't carry any power. Wait Until you get into the White House then make this statement.

ok

Hillary Clinton should learn to STFU America's covert operation with the opposition party, APC is not new to some of us, the stupid script they handed over to Obasanjo to act out recently is also not new to some of us. Jonathan is not responsible for Nigeria's woes, he is trying his very best and we the good people of Nigeria shall continue to SUPPORT HIM no matter what! In General JoeHannibal's voice, 'America needs to be very very careful'.....

But I tot she said he was US preferred Nigerias president com 2015? Abi GMB don promise her 1 oil bloc?

Its not news that GEJ has always turned a blind eye towards corruption cum impunity!

Pls let's take this upcoming election as our social responsibility to campaign for change, I've met atleast 5 people this past week who said they just collected the PVC but they are not voting, after telling them reasons why they should vote out the clueless one, they've all agreed to vote, there are still many of them around you, you can start by asking who they want to vote for.

Ta, is that a credible link? Who has heard of that blog before?

Hilary Clinton must be high on cow dung.

Certainly not on my weed.

Very pathetic of you. Now,read your comment again and tell me if it makes sense to you.

[b][/b] GEJ squandered OIL MONEY, made BAD CHOICES, upheld CORRUPTION and has promoted BAD GOVERNANCE in the past 6 six years.

Yet he want another 4 years to finish and destroy NIGERIA completely.

Try again, the same person said we were being to harsh on Boko Harem and that they should not be labeled as a terrorist group
Hypocrisy and Americans go hand and hand!

Rogin reported that from 2011 through early 2013, the Clinton State Department repeatedly rejected efforts to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization.

"What Clinton didn't mention was that her own State Department refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the UN headquarters in Abuja. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen Senators and Congressmen.
"'The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn't use. And nobody can say she wasn't urged to do it. It's gross hypocrisy,' said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate. 'The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.'

Haha..its official! Hilary clinton just became the tanoids' new enemy! Dont worry ma'am, we are very well aware of his majesty's cluelessness. Besides a secluded gullible and greedy few, nigerians are wiser now. His tenure ends feb '15.

but she just said the basic truth we all know .....so y should we sound suppressed ........
.
.we have decided we want change .......and who ever stands in the way of change ......is always crushed

Tanist coming to bash

"The woman must also be an APC supporter... How can she say such a thing? I am sure she is being sponsored by some interest groups " *in Doyin Okupe's voice*

We cannot continue like this, as for me and my household, the time for change is around the corner.

Madam......even Nigerians don't need Americans to tell us all these you've spoken....we know, and that is the reason that we are earnestly yearning for change...a change from this current despair...a change from this rudderless goverment...a change from this governemnt that is bent on fulfilling a mission....a mission to clearly bankrupt and balkanise this nation....that time is here in 2015.



But Madam.....there will be lot of insults coming your way in the coming days...from the usual quarters....young and adult TANiods and Joanthanians that have clearly sold their conscience for a fee that will not guarantee them a good life after one year if the money stop coming from government.

I nor knw why Nigeria nor dey cooperate oh..

When you are picked by PDP because they know you'll remit funds. What do u expect. Pdp will never field a player that can not play tiki taka.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Nigerian warplanes struck militant camps in the northeast on Friday in a major push against an Islamist insurgency, drawing a sharp warning from the United States to respect human rights and not harm civilians.
Troops used jets and helicopters to bombard targets in their biggest offensive since the Boko Haram group launched a revolt almost four years ago to establish a breakaway Islamic state and one military source said at least 30 militants had been killed.

But three days after President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in the northeast, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry issued a strongly worded statement saying: "We are ... deeply concerned by credible allegations that Nigerian security forces are committing gross human rights violations, which, in turn, only escalate the violence and fuel extremism."

The United States is the biggest foreign investor in Africa's most populous nation,

notably in its energy sector, and buys a third of Nigeria's oil. Washington "condemns Boko Haram's campaign of terror in the strongest terms", Kerry said, but urged Nigeria's armed forces to show restraint and discipline.

Everytime FG would go in to wipe them out the US would start making noise. Something is really fishy about this whole thing. is smelling like regimen change!
