OIL REVENUE LEAKAGES - EL RUFAI
The Presidential Economic Team of 2003 to 2007 which I was privileged to be a member had a running joke - that the NNPC was an independent federal republic on its own totally separate from and way superior to the Nigeria we all worked for! This joke was our way of criticizing the way and manner the NNPC not only sells crude oil as an agent on behalf of the government of the federation as in its enabling law, but even then felt entitled to spend as much of the proceeds of sale as it deemed fit.
The NNPC had begun then to be a law unto itself, outside our national laws and above the constitution, hence our joke. Recent revelations of oil revenue leakages have confirmed that this is a joke that has turned into a macabre reality. Our nation's finances are in grave danger of becoming zero due to the conduct of a rogue institution that has become more powerful than its principal under Jonathan's watch.

TACKLING BAD BREATH
Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, is a condition that can be prevented or treated. Halitosis, which is commonly known as bad breath, often causes embarrasment both privately and publicly.
“It’s a bit embarrassing when one is told his or her mouth smells. The average Nigerian doesn’t want to be embarrassed. But the oral hygiene habit of the average and educated Nigerian could be described as good. Often, most Nigerians try to abide by the rule of brushing their teeth twice daily,” said a dentist and health management consultant, Dr. Adeuga Adekuoye.
According to experts, halitosis is a condition caused by sulphur-producing bacteria that live within the surface of the tongue and in the throat. It is usually caused by an accumulation of bacteria in the mouth as a result of gum disease, food, or plaque. The condition could result from poor oral hygiene or dental health habits.

HOW NNPC IS ROBBING NIGERIA BLIND - SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI
Long before his shocking letter to President Goodluck Jonathan exposing massive diversion of government oil revenues became public December 2013, Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, said he did what many have accused him of failing to do: acting early as the losses escalated.
Accompanied by all of CBN’s deputy governors sometime in 2010, he said he drove to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to ask for an answer to a simple math: why Nigeria’s reserves had failed to rise in the face of unprecedented high oil prices internationally.
Mr. Sanusi said NNPC official lectured his team that the trouble arose because much of Nigeria’s oil production came from deep offshore wells; and that the Sani Abacha government had scandalously agreed with oil companies to peg such oil earnings at $10 dollar per barrel — the prevailing price at the time. The arrangement was fixed to run for 30 years.
