I can't even understand where she is going, what does poverty has to do with Abdulmutallab.

It makes no meaning.

montelik:

This is bad. So this is what a whole secretary of state has to say. CHEI  . Here I was thinking that Ojo Maduekwe was an embarassment.  

adigun101:

"The information we have on the Christmas Day bomber so far seems to suggest that he was disturbed by his father's wealth and the kind of living conditions that he viewed as being not Islamic enough."
1. We all should be worried about rich muslim kids who are worried about the kind of living conditions around them.
2. Osama bin laden (a son of a rich man) was probably was lured into terrorism for the same reasons.
3. American kids get disturbed by wealth while the poor ones are stable.
4. When poverty around you are not islamic enough, you pick up a bomb and board a plane for the US.
5. Poverty drives poor kids into extremism and Wealth drives rich people into extremism.

Hillary was never my woman but she just scored a huge low.
What kind of icoherent, patched up statement that still doesn't fit !

They just made a scapegoat of Nigeria Period!

nikkykay:

To my own knowledge,i want to be believe that what she was trying to say is that if not for the father's wealth,mutallab would not be in the position or be opportune to bomb that plane.He had everything or access to everything money culd do to become an international terrorist.He was able to mingle with dis association cos of too much access too much  money.Hardly will you see a poor man child or an average man's child goes into terrorism.
On the other side,those pauper/local terrorists at home are disturbed as a result of poverty or ignorance.In Nigeria,an average citizen or rich almanjiri will not think of going in to terrorism cos he believes he needs to enjoy life to the fullest  before he dies.So it is the poor ones among them that are brainwashed and sponsored to cause the chaos.
So i think that is the point she was trying to make and also to hammer on the issue of corruption.God bless you!!!

THAT ONE NA TRUE TALK.

MADAM KEEP-ON THE GOOD WORK

This is extremely hilarious! The picture of women in purdah all in black with a man taken their picture- how will anyone recognise who is who in the picture?

Although, I was not too shock to see a man on a bicycle backing a sheep/ram-I live in Lagos and I have seen Okada man sitted in the middle of 4 jeep tyres while riding his bike!

In fact Otondo you made my day

ayettymama:

Wrex:

e-monkey:

You really need to live outside Nigeria for a while to appreciate how much Nigerians are disliked. We are perhaps the most distrusted people in any country. So what do you expect. If HC had a choice Nigeria should be nuked . Good riddance .

klerry:

US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has blamed failings by Nigerian leaders for increasing "radicalisation" among young Nigerians.

She pointed to poor living standards and "unbelievable" corruption.


Why can't people just talk about the point raised in the first paragraph which is 100% true about Nigeria, we are so used to chasing shadows in this country.
