If this happens to be a WAEC question every child will sure pass it!
Obviously not! The US will never even give us options. It'll simply be a simple directive. For instance if US actually has criminal charges against Atiku, they simply tell the puppets we have in government to hand him over. It's that simple!

Last year, america released to Nigeria the names of those who received the bribes on the Nigerian side. To date, the Nigerian government and EFCC has dragged it's feet on prosecuting those named.  On the american end though, there are former halliburton officials serving jail term for their involvement.

Settling a court case out of Court is NOT a sign of corruption. Not certain why people think it is. It is part of a legal way to justice. After reading some of the responses on here, I get the feeling that some actually believe that settling a court case out of court is BRIBERY/CORRUPTION, especially on the side of the defendant. Wrong! If anything, it signals that the prosecution probably believes it does not have a winnable case and so is best to settle(at least walk away with something) than go through the full court process, only to help up with nothing.

At the meeting, Halliburton agreed to pay about N20 billion as criminal penalty, while promising to liaise with the United States Government to recover the outstanding $I32 million which is currently frozen in Switzerland.

This was the best option, even the FG knows that if it had gone for cheney with our legal system he would just get a slap on the wrist and some chicken change fine---- and with the resources at halliburtons disposal that would have taken a lifetime, though annoying but this was the best option and at least they got more than what was even used to bribe in the first instance and a 3 year probation so not a bad deal.

With all due respect, this is not true!

Borrowing one of Kobo's cop out lines, "you may want to provide proof."

and people wonder how shell infiltrated the ministries cheesy cheesy cheesy

as long as we continue to stand for nothing but self gratification, we will continue to be remote controlled by people who see money for what is is - a means to an end, but not the end in itself
Re: Fg Drops Charges Against Cheney by bestsales1: 2:50pm On Dec 14, 2010
the aim of the money is to avoid any long issues with the usa, just collect the money and bring it on board, that's if we will ever use it for anything good here, afterall, our judicial system is not bold enough to jail him. so instead of losing on both sides, then i think we should take the money and then they will come after Atiku also for the pending numerous allegations against him, with the help of that shameless old baba, Atiku will be nailed and then Jonathan slips back to the seat, chikena!
Re: Fg Drops Charges Against Cheney by future001: 2:52pm On Dec 14, 2010
These looters are only after Cheney because of the pay back. They probably have shared the money.

Didn't someone insist that Cheney must pay before doing any business in Nigeria. Who chop the money he paid. Are they not in Nigeria. Have they been charged. Is it not stupid to pursue far away American V.P when the looters are free in Nigeria. Where is our common sense
