Missing $20 million Oil Money: Why we can’t publish full details of audit report – Nigerian Govt.

Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke

The Nigerian government has finally opened up on why it has refused to disclose the full findings of investigations into the alleged missing $20 billion oil money, several months after a forensic examination had been concluded by an independent firm.

The audit report by PriceWaterHouseCoopers on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, accused of diverting the money, has been ready since September 2014, but the government has declined repeated demands to make the document public.

Amid pressure from the public and the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, the government early February issued a “highlight” of the report, with a conclusion that the alleged missing $20 billion, exposed by a former Central Bank Governor, Lamido Sanusi, was a farce.

The “highlight” concluded that less than $2billion was missing.

2015 Ford F-150: Top 10 Innovative Features on Ford's Best-Selling Truck

We’re heading into what could be the most interesting era in the history of the pickup truck. Like SUVs, we’ve watched interest in trucks rise at KBB.com over the past two years, with sales and market share mirroring the growth in shopper traffic. However, like every model segment, these vehicles are facing ever-increasing mpg standards. This has forced truck brands to introduce a variety of fuel-efficiency strategies in an effort to squeeze additional miles from every gallon of gas. And, given the dominant role truck sales play in the overall economic health of domestic automakers, there’s an unavoidable sense of “make or brake” pressure orbiting each truck’s product plan.

Forbes 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat: The World's Quickest and Fastest Sedan

At Kelley Blue Book we’ve watched the Dodge division struggle with sales even as its corporate cousins Jeep and Ram flourish. But a new Charger and a series of Dodge commercials on YouTube, paying homage to the brand’s 100th birthday, are among the efforts to change that. The commercials portray the original Dodge brothers, John and Horace, in various states of automotive rebelliousness. They talk about how the Dodge brothers quit their jobs at Ford because they “believed in more than mass production.” Of the series, I like this particular commercial the most because it shows the brothers driving historic Dodge performance models from the past 100 years, leading up to the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.

A working vintage Apple-1 computer has been sold at a New York auction for $905,000 (N149,759,309.49), smashing a record set last year in Germany for the highest price ever paid for an Apple-1.

The computer, one of only 200 to ever be made, is among just 64 units known to currently exist. It is also only one of 15 Apple-1s that are thought to be working. The device is thought to have been built by Steve Wozniak in Steve Jobs' family home back when Apple started in 1976 - around 50 were built when Apple operated from the garage of that residence.
