The Halliburton Case and Corruption in Nigeria

[emanny1986]

i hate to say this but i dont think it is right to blame or arrest these halle burton guys. truthfully if you were in naija you know that the only way to do any business is to bribe, if you dont bribe you dont go nowhere. it is not like they looted public fund all they did was bribe these useless rulers who would seat on contracts for months until you wet their hand. it is business. too bad at the end the small guy takes the fall while the big guy is vp of the U.S.A.

[emanny1986]

GOD! OBJ is ugly. They need to be giving a little warning minutes before the switch to a shot of the guys face, espically if it is up close. God i almost past out!

[Monarch3436]

Same bastards have corrupted the US

[OneWorldOneDestiny]

God bless Nuhu Ribadu!

[savannahblk]

The real people of NIGERIA are extremely tired of the US and EUROPE bribing these sorry worthless corrupt suckers. Both hands are guilty more so on the nigerian side for taking the bribes and lying to the people. Then they pay off the police and criminals to keep destroying the people, normal society, and keep fear and intimidation up. Dont worry though, their time is coming to a close; so the nice hearted, hard working NIGERIAN PEOPLE can resume life much better.

Who was the governor that offered him $15 million? Could it be Peter Odili? That is a lot of money. That person should be put to death by hanging

[abayomi8]

shut the fuckup obj

[1Naijalulu]

As long as obasanjo and babaginda affilates are in the government as leaders, Nigeria will stay corrupt. this guy is doing well is stopping corruption, but he needs to do more by involving the international community.

[dedanoik]

so these fines 300bill dollars...who gets the cheque??.... the US government or the Nigerian government?? So if the money remains in the US who has beneffited??

[tobim2004]

@dedanoik : Obviously, you weren't listening. $300 billion is the amount Nigeria has lost to corruption and half a billion dollars was the fine Halliburton/KBR has to pay.

[solonly02]

mr obasanjo is all corruption...and this is the point

[justwanna007]

6:38...... lol

[justwanna007]

Corruption is Not a Nigerian word!!

[desirejoseph26]

[babasupreme]

Nuhu Ribadu, stay on track- true Nigerians are behind you.

[XnFlex09]

[ifycammy]

[olojulagbari]

God bless Nuhu Ribadu.Thank you Ribadu. Obama please help us.

[Irebamiji]

Obasanjo is so full of shit. Disgusting bush man!

[lagosdogblue]

hey! Ribadu, my guy. Long time no see. Kai, I miss the guy no be small. Since them comot the guy, na only small boy thief EFCC they catch.

[aspectratio]

Obasanjo is the biggest crook. He appeared on Hardtalk and stated that his political cabal were corrupt but he was not! Even his own daughter dodges corruption court dates in Naija. The mental and moral stasis has eaten away at the fabric of life. See the naked, homeless, elderly women wandering around Lagos while 4 x 4 hummers blast past. It is sick. We need a combination of Mao Tse Tung/Castro to begin a Year Zero philosophy.

[ereola3]

The only solution for that country is revolution. Because corruption in Nigeria have beome an epidemic that need to be eradicated from grassroot. Even so called men of God are corrupt and greedy.

You can see our mentality of become rich overnight. We need a revolution and bring all the politician, Pastors with all those mega churchs they build to enslaved their own people because of greedy and egocentric mind. All the preach is give give and prosperity of illusion.

[lagosmama]

On a lighter note, isn't Nuhu Ribadu just sexy? I feel sorry for him sha.

[annetteosa]

i thought that too. lol.

[gc4best]

nigeria issues just gets me upset. a country with so much wealth, yet with some many residents suffering in poverty.

[RushMovement]

God Bless you Mr Ribadu, Mr Obasanjo(ex employer) should be ashamed of himself. The way he makes himself seem so stupid and pitiful in front of the cameras make me sick. Dick Cheney if you never get caught, just know this willcontinue follow you . . . .. . . .

[luckybushh]

abasanjo is a criminal this punk stoll billions of dallar in nigeria and put too many people in jail , abasanjo is not happy because NURU RIBADU fought for curruption the way he did , GOD will keep on blessing NURU RIBADU for fighting curruption

[Fabuchap]

Nigerianpeople are the problem. Majority of us pointing fingers are no better. See how people accuse anyone and everyone of corruption, no basis required. How can we expect anything better from our leaders when we, the people, have such low standards of Truth ourselves? Ribadu is now hunted and all we can say is Ribadu himself is corrupt. Where, Lord, is objectivity and justice?

[layishevik]

Nigeria needs revolution. Arrest, prosecute and hang all politicians on the streets. Hang them from the lamposts and hang them from the street lights. Shoot the ones that cannot be hung and drown the ones that cannot be shot. Nigeria is a failed state governed by hyenas and destroyed by beyond redemption. Is there any hope for the Negro

[awwaless]

obasanjo makes me sick! nuhu ribado on the other hand is now my new hero

[deedidee]

how dare they live as they do as their people are starving, damn reptiles

[aplus666]

Don't see Ribadu in a Mansion or Big Limo..he had his faults since his boss was the Prezzie but he did more good than harm..and people were really scared of the EFCC...

Waziri is nothing but a spineless stooge..

[aplus666]

xobook and bustabee both of u are a bunch of idiots if you blind to the suffering of the people..while the fucked up leaders and the foreign immigrants exploit us albeit through the same useless leadership..and the Sly Obasanjo smirking reminds of of scarface.."even if i lie i say the thruth"..

[mmakanjuola]

xobok..so u are so daft that u don`t know who wanted to bribe Ribadu,even an ordinary market woman knows that it was..JAMES IBORI..!.Take a visit to Calabar and see the house his wife Nkoyo(<35yrs old) built (a house is worth well over 250million naira)..this is a lady without any source of livelihood..!!!.It`s a shame that Nigeria still has an imbecile like u!!!

[xobok]

Corruption exists in Nigeria but this is not an excuse to allow Nuhu Ribadu who is fleeimg from his corrupt manipulation of public institutions for unbridled political ambition so blatantly about what he achieved whilst he was head of EFCC.. Who was Ribadu's boss? Tafa Balogun or Obasanjo? Who gave Ribadu $15m bribe? What court did he present it?

[mmakanjuola]

Ur madam Waziri has been there for 2yrs and what has she to show for it?...Igbinedion was caught ,he stole over 300millior dollars and was fined 150,000 dollars?..Is this not madness?.

[RedLady212]

Ribadu has done his best. It is now over to Farida Waziri. Let us see what she can do.

[bustabee2]

wait o! what is RIbadu saying? He is the bigger thief o!

[Fabuchap]

Your evidence? Oh, none required. In that case, YOU are a bloody thief too, since Truth is so low on your agenda! Ole! Catch am, catch am!!

[Krendo101]

Its unfortunate but corruption will continue in Nigeria not because the actors are invincible but because the Nigerian people don't know what they want.

Ribadu was critisized for trying to make a difference just because he did not arrest everybody on the same day or he did not start his prosecution from the President.

[mmakanjuola]

...agreed with u totally..!.Nigerians are the major problem of nigeria.Imagine Nigerian people criticizing Ribadu?..it baffles me the way we reason at times...,but one question I have been asking and no one seems to give me the answer is...Amongst all the people "witch-hunted" by Ribadu..,Is there any one of them INNOCENT???.Nigeria can never move forward with this kind of attitude!!!

[Fabuchap]

Thank you! God bless you!!!

[bruin03]

thank you!

[EGEDE4LIFE]

@Krendo101 no no no no..he was arrested cuz he stepped on the toes of those that employed him.

[owiz22]

sad ... very sad
