"Nigeria has made bad choices,They have squandered their oil wealth, they have allowed corruption to fester and now they are losing control of parts of their territory" - Hillary Clinton

Former Secretary of States of the United States of America, Mrs. Hillary Clinton tells it exactly like it is. She blast President Goodluck Jonathan and his weak decisions....




"Nigeria government has been somewhat derelict in protecting their children", she says
"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" Clinton said. Later adding that,

 "The government of Nigeria has been in my view somewhat derelict in it's responsibilities towards protecting boys and girls, men and women in the Northern Nigeria over the last year"

During her remarks at a philanthropy event in New York City, Clinton went on to say

"The Nigerian government must accept help...particular intelligence, surveillance and recognize help...their troops have to be the ones that (are) necessary but they could do better jobs if they accept the offers that are being made"




Clinton also blasted wide decisions made by the Nigerian government during the public interview with ABC's Robin Roberts....

"Nigeria has made bad choices" Clinton said, parroting the name of her forthcoming memoir. "They have squandered their oil wealth, they have allowed corruption to fester and now, they are losing control of parts of their territory because they wouldn't make hard choices"

The former secretary of states strengthened her criticism of the Nigerian government later in the night at the International Crisis Group's annual award dinner...'The Nigerian government has failed to confront the threat or to address the underlying challenges", Clinton said of the kidnappings.

"Most of all, the government of Nigeria needs to get serious about protecting all it's citizens...and ensuring every child has the right and opportunity to go to school"
"Every asset and expertise should be brought to bear," Clinton said. "Everyone needs to see this for what it is, it is a gross human rights abuse but it is also part of a continued struggle within Nigeria and within North America"



While Wednesday's comments were Clinton's first statement about the kidnapping, the former first lady, has joined in the social media campaign too.

"Access to education is a basic right & an unconscionable reason to target innocent girls. We must stand up for terrorism. #BringBackOurGirls", she twitted....
