@Igbalajobi

I get your point but lets not lose focus here. What makes him better? The fact that he had a better PR unit than his successor? EFCC catches criminals everyday to this date, Farida just probably doesn't think PR is of any use or just has no clue. I know of many ordinary people who have recovered their money from everyday 419ers just by involving the EFCC in both Ribadu and Farida's times

If you're going to take on a job as sensitive as EFCC Boss, then there should be no partiality, and more than anything, you should not climb the rooftops portraying yourself as whiter than the angels when you're just one of the PDP mad-hackers. Ribadu was part and parcel of OBJ's innermost kitchen crew - so how can you say OBJ is filth and Ribadu is clean? Do you even realise that his intimate proximity to OBJ and the nature of his portfolio meant that OBJ did not hide any of his dirt from him? Of course not - he was privy to his master's intentions even before anyone else!- and it has come to light how dirty and devious those intentions were. So why didn't he resign and refuse to work for OBJ? WHY? As Chief Rottweiler his brief included ensuring safe passage for all the loot we now know OBJ moved so what are we saying?

You talk about those he prosecuted but leave out those he protected. If if those he prosecuted stole, did he as EFCC Boss prosecute them because they stole, or because they took their loot to locations not previously agreed to by OBJ? - locations that were outside the regulatory reach of OBJ and his PDP Treasury masters?

What makes him far ahead of the Waziri's and Ibori's and Igbinedions and Andoakaas? The fact that he is no longer chopping? that he is no more for PDP? that he is a young chap who we all looked to to sway the system and be a hero and even though he went in and acted like a JJC Rambo let loose in a toyshop and is crying because the shop had to close at closing time, we still want to console ourselves that the old folks gave him a raw deal? Abegi

MY POINT IS:
Its the same shit, different day. Ribadu is no better than any of those parading themselves out there today!!!

MY POINT IS:
America and Co. know that our leaders dont give a f**k so when they want to call us bad boys, they send those who we can spit on without consequence!!

EFCC would have been praised if the likes of OBJ, IBB and others that has looted the national fund are in jail, or reduced to nothing by taking back all they stole.

God will help Nigeria, I really wonder what current Government is trying to defend.

trying to defend what their predecessor defended

what do you expect mark and his pdp chop chop croonies to say , clinton said it as it is , efcc no longer functional anyways.

In fact, Hillary was right, there is no question about it. But Nigerians should get themselves together quickly and shouldn't allow people like Hillary to come on Nigerian soil to criticize anything.
Nigeria is not perfect just like United States. I wonder how Americans would feel if a leader from another country comes to their country to criticize the way these animals (mostly republicans) are treating Obama just because of the color of his skin or how their government indirectly allowed corruption to bring down their economy or how their leaders lied to the world to destroy many lives.

Hillary could go ahead and continue to travel the world to point at what is wrong with the way women are treated or how badly African leaders are corrupt. The fact remains the same, America or Americans can't tell me shit till they discover the best method to solve their own problems.
Nigerians, it's time to get it together. Instead of just returning home to make money, let us all come together to make things better in Nigeria. This country isn't that bad at all.

If you take a close look at things in Nigeria, you will know that people like Ribadu or Farida can't solve our problems, they will only make some noise for some time.
Our problems can only be solved by all of us coming together to fight corruption from the bottom to the top.

News that Abachs's kid is going to be involved in Nigerian politics (after all this family has stolen from us) shouldn't have been welcomed at all, something drastical should have been done immediately the new got out. But noone is bold enough to stand up.

I think David Mark has taken the appropriate steps any leader (corrupt or not corrupt) would have taken. Americans would have also stepped up to defend their country if you call the republican new political tactic racist.

[size=14pt]David Mark is an uninformed brute,Waku or Twatku is just a Arrow,PDP is a joke of an umbrella that shelters the most corrupt beings on earth and Hilary was spot on[/size]

First of all EFCC has always been political. However, people like Hilary have access to so much more information about corruption in Nigeria than most of us have, so when she said something like that, it's almost irrefutable. The more David Mark, Waku and other corrupt politicians from Benue make noise in an attempt to cover up their sister Farida, the more the State department might be forced to leak previously classified information about the issue.

Full Gbam!!!!!

So because she told the truth she became unfair? Well life isn't fair. Anyone that says she was unfair should have their heads examined.

good questions to the dumb leaders

instead of Senate President, Farida and P.D.P leaders to be ashamed of themselves and take caution of the challenges that awaits them, they rather come out making some unreasonable, and irresponsible comment simply because their failed administration is been challenged and questioned by Hilary.

It is not hiding to Nigeria that this administration has achieved nothing especially in the area of anti-graft war (anti-corruption war). So for somebody to say that such comment of Hilary originated from misinformation is not true, whether she mention it or not, we all know that such comment is true.

Thank God, Madam Clinton called a spade a spade, without care about whose ox is gored.
Good that she made her point.

What else do you expect from PDP n our number 3 citizen.

these are people who are successfully manipulating the citizens of this great nation and they will never agree to the fact they are all corrupt.

OH GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD WHEN WILL U SAVE NIGERIA NATION FROM THESE SHAMELESS OLD FOR NOTHING MEN AND WOMEN @ VARIOUS LEVEL OF NATION'S POLITICAL OFFICES? IMAGINE DAVID MARK CLAIMING THAT ALL IS WELL WITH "INEC" IS THAT NOT HIGH CLASS STUPIDITY? GOD PLS ACT FAST ON THESE IDIOTS

why do you guys really give too much attention to these bunch of morons?even the aliens knows that waziri is a bias pdp pet.

Let us not forget that this man has never been on the side of ordinary Nigerians. He was the same man who , as communications minister under IBB, stated that "landline telephone is not for ordinary Nigerians". While his peers worldwide were providing GSM services to the Masses  , after making landline services accessible to all , this shameless apologist for the Nigerian looting class was busy stating that ordinary Nigerians should not even have something now common place in most homes of the World !!!!! It is only in Nigeria a man like Mark , with his tainted record of ineptitude and hatred for ordinary Nigerians,will be 'recycled' to 'serve' the interest of ordinary Nigerians.

That David Mark objects to what Hilary said is not surprising. Nigerians should expect nothing less of him given his odious antecedent.

You don't know how earnestly I'm praying for this above-highlighted scenario to actually occur,make heavy breeze blow make we see enuff fowl nyash

Truth is always bitter. Has anything good ever came out of the ruling party (PDP)? How many of their leaders are leading fine - councillors, state governors, house of assembly members, even the president? Abeg, make una leave the mumu party with mumu papa' and mama' with no brain but cursed philosopy.

what i think we need in this country is someone order than a Nigerian to say the truth to our face without mincing words, Hillary Clinton is my angel

If it not in Scamgeria is David Mark not supposed to be on his father's farm somewhere in Benue, having told Nigerian's that telephone is not for the poor? Having rigged his way to senate he now has the guts to rubbishly opine that every country can have its style of democracy? Why not Curroptiocrazy

EFCC died with the exit of Ribadu.

Haba! why do pple speak of what they know NOT?
May I ask u wht aspect of Sharia prescribe death for electoral offence? the fact is that u pple are bn brain washd dat Sharia is all about killings! To me the only solution to Nigerian problems is Sharia. You may not believe it. You have right to your opinion as I hav right to mine.
You need not make gest of the Law for many of us really believe in it. As for the Northern Governors, they are not innocent as we all kno bt the Nigerian  constitution we all uphold says they are untouchable (immunity)! Then do you blame Sharia for this?
I am not a Northerner neither am I a politician but a fair Nigerian that respect other pple's right.

uhm, madam cliton was considerate and economizin her words yet the damn fools wont just be appreciative, only if obama himself was here,, kai they would ve heard it all,

didnt you guys see the headline picture of the paper?, yara+slow hand+shakin madam pretty+hillary+cliton, the woman look scared,,

I'm left wondering, as I read the intricate discussions amongst Nairalanders; "Are the details of Nigerian politics so transparent?"

We know all the facts, all the details, and so when 1 + 1 is not made to equal 2 it seems people are left feeling cheated and hopeless.

Seems like the average Nigerian knows who the guilty and the culprits are, by first and last name, yet it seems as if the government is pretending not to be aware.

Dude that's how it is everywhere. Even if the public knows that so-and-so are guilty, you still need impeccable proof to bring the culprits to justice. After gathering all evidence, the wait is even longer because they would feed you some jargon about going through due process of law.
