PDP guber candidate Jarrett Tenebe Caught in Crude Oil Theft: Implicates Jonathan’s Top Men & Women
The EFCC was still holding Mr. Tenebe after arresting him last week for alleged theft of massive amounts of crude oil in Nigeria.
An EFCC source disclosed that Mr. Tenebe, who hails from Edo State, told investigators that his powerful political patrons and protectors enabled him to carry out lucrative crude oil theft from Nigeria under the guise of evacuating stolen crude on behalf of the federal government. Among the political patrons are:

Ali Modu Sherrif is Still under Investigation –Presdent Jonathan
Consequently, Jonathan has denied travelling to Chad with Sheriff to meet with the Chadian President, Idris Derby, on how to jointly fight the Boko Haram menace.
The President said he was fully aware of allegations of Boko Haram sponsorship levelled against the former governor, adding that he was only waiting for the outcome of his probe by security operatives.
The presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, who said this in a statement on Thursday, insisted that the extent of participation of Sheriff in President Jonathan’s mission to N’Djamena, the Chadian capital, was limited to his being part of Nigerians who welcomed the President to the foreign land.
But the photo below shows President Jonathan, President of Chad and Senator in one room:

Ebola Saga: Money Crisis in Lagos infectious diseases hospital
“We have sighted the payroll for September already and there is no provision for this allowance which has been paid to us for more than four years. This is really terrible. If government wants to remove anybody’s allowance, should it be from us workers at the IDH? What kind of problem is this?” one of the workers of the hospital lamented.
Earlier, volunteers at the isolation ward had protested the non-payment of their daily allowance since August 30. “We learnt they want to send us away because there are no cases of Ebola again. But they should at least pay us our entitlements even if they will do that.”

After Gulping $18bn: Jonathan, Army Chiefs Lost Crude Oil and Uranium Rich Borno To Boko Haram
I’m simply following the money here. It has been 18 billion USD
invested into the so-called war against Boko Haram over the past five
years of this Jonathan government. $18 BILLION Dollars! And what did we
buy with the money? What did we achieve with it? We have practically
lost Borno to Boko Haram. We have lost thousands of lives, limbs and
livelihoods. They say there is only one operational jet bombing Boko
Haram; I don’t know how true that is, but with the comfortable way Boko
Haram advances as illustrated in all their videos, I doubt we have even
one useful jet engaged in this war after 18 billion dollars was pumped
into it.
It is no longer news that many of our soldiers have not been paid
their salaries; this with the 18 billion dollars the government has
spent in this war. So I ask- on what did they spend this money? Where is
the 18 billion dollars? Why are we losing Borno to Boko Haram after
spending 18 billion dollars? Is the money in Switzerland?
#WhereIsOurMoney? Is there any kind of accountability for the war
spending?18 billion dollars can buy 40,000 Armored Personnel Carriers, APC’s; it can buy a million drones. It can buy 150,000 helicopters. With just $10 million, we could have armed our Civilian-JTF properly and organized them to comb and decimate Boko Haram in any three months since 2011. 18 billion dollars is 18,000 million dollars! A million dollars would have bought bullet proof jackets for our army of 30,000 CJTF. Another $9 million would have bought them enough vehicles, guns, gear, night vision goggles and anything else they need to terminate Boko Haram in few weeks.

NIGERIA: A Case for Re-Orientation
From colonial time, Nigeria has been called an under-developed nation. National management was in the hands of expatriate. With independence, Nigerians took over the mantle of leadership and management of the nation resources.
How Nigerians did managed their own affairs since independence is something that must have shaped the nature of our development or under-development.
