Jonathan’s Govt Has Finished Nigeria,squandering Oil Wealth–says Hillary Clinton by siraj1402(m): 6:17am On Dec 22, 2014
President Jonathan said if Billions are stolen from our oil sector, America will know. Now America knows:

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.

Madam......even Nigerians don't need Americans to tell us all these you've spoken....we know, we are the ones feeling the pinch... 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.

Yet when the Nigerian army starts killing Boko Haram, the same America will start shouting human rights abuse.

Sentiment has blinded the eyes of Nigerians and no matter what, they wud follow blindly. Now I see that is not just his aides that sees this man as jesus bt his followers. Read this post and tell me there is no truth in what she has said, Jonathan's actions and inaction are chiefly responsible for the state we find ourselves.

Most Nigerians don't want to be condemned to life of making $2 a day. If you like to keep the status quo, you deserve to live in penury for supporting the ones spreading poverty all over Nigeria.

Jonathan is incompetent and a failure personified. He will be sent packing next year. However, we don't need any foreign help, Nigerians will solve Nigeria's problems, Muhammadu Buhari is very capable for such task.

No stopping GEJ

They wanted us to come seeking their help and we called their bluff. They turned down our arms request and we faced Russia. Now they are planning their final game which is......
Go against the current government, if by chance GEJ loses.... the Niger Delta militancy resumes and we would have two insurgencies to handle which would overwhelm the forces which might prompt their moving in.

Besides, trouble in the Niger Delta will drive up the price of crude in the global market.

The west has no genuine interest for Africa.
