A KEY REASON WHY SOME FORMER PRESIDENTS MOVED AGAINST JONATHAN IN 2015....and worked for Buhari's emergence:

180m HALLIBURTON SCANDAL: Two ex-Heads of State battle Jonathan

on october 30, 2012.

BY KINGSLEY OMONOBI

ABUJA — Following the directive by President Goodluck Jonathan that the investigative report into the $180 million Halliburton bribery scandal be re-opened and the major culprits re-arrested, Vanguard gathered that this has resulted in a fall out between two former heads of state and President Jonathan.

The two former heads of state (names withheld) were said to have been found in the investigative report to have benefitted from the sharing of the Halliburton bribe money using fronts who have already confessed that they were only fronting for their principals.

Incidentally, when the investigation team took off from Abuja sometime in 2010 and landed in Ibadan on their way to the home of one of the indicted persons, Bodunde Adeyanju, to recover documents relating to how the Halliburton bribe money was collected and disbursed, the team was sent back to Abuja from the Ibadan airport.

Jonathan determined to prosecute suspect..

It was gathered that President Jonathan is determined to prosecute those found wanting in the bribery scandal to demonstrate not only to Nigerians who feel he is a toothless bulldog when it comes to fighting corruption, but also to show the international community that corrupt people, no matter their status in the society, can be brought to book in Nigeria.

And as part of this determination, it was gathered that an approval has been secured by the five-man inter-agency panel headed by the Inspector General of Police, including EFCC, SSS, and ICPC, to travel to France, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Spain to confirm the foreign leg of the investigations which mostly involves wiring of the funds, the amounts and the account holders.

It will be recalled that this aspect of the investigation was to be carried out in 2010, as the visas had been acquired and about N50million meant for the trip and investigation expenses made available but the trip was called off following pressure said to have been mounted on the office of the Attorney General of the federation by a former head of state.

Already, Vanguard gathered that the US government has sent a letter to the Federal Government warning that it may apply certain amount of sanctions in line with international anti-corruption protocols if the culprits are not prosecuted and if the $26.5 million paid by Julius Berger as Plea Bargain is not located and given to the Police.

Meanwhile, the Police authorities are said to be working round the clock to unravel the mystery surrounding whereabouts of the Julius Berger plea bargain money with the Inspector General of Police vowing that the money must be found.

It was gathered that as part of investigation on the matter, all the receipts of plea bargain money returned by other suspects during investigation, and whose amounts were lodged in such government accounts with the Central Bank of Nigeria, Ministry of Finance, Accountant General’s office and the office of the Accountant General of the federation have been recalled and the monies located except that returned by Julius Berger.

It will be recalled that President Jonathan had directed the Police to resuscitate the investigative report of the $180million Halliburton scam following America ’s insistence that the culprits in the bribery scandal must be brought to book before the $130million in US coffers can be returned to Nigeria .

America also insisted that the $26.5million plea bargain money returned by Construction giant, Julius Berger, must be located and made available to Police following suspicion that the money has developed legs and ended up in some person’s pocket.

Since the directive there has been confusion over the whereabouts of the huge amount of money and this according to sources has angered President Jonathan who has subsequently charged the Attorney General of the federation, Mr. Mohammed Adoke to fish out the money and make it available to the Police by end of this week.

The decision to task the Attorney General with the assignment according to sources followed conflicting statements by both Julius Berger, office of the Accountant General of the federation and the Police investigators about the true position of the funds. One account said the money was in the possession of the Accountant General of the federation. Another account said the money was being kept in the office of the AGF while the Police said they are at a loss of the money’s whereabouts.

Julius Berger one of the companies indicted in the Halliburton $180 million bribery scandal had opted for a plea bargain in order to be speared the prosecution process following the conclusion of the 5 man inter-agency investigation panel.

If all cases Of bribery and embezzlement be prosecuted strictly,, then all former nigerian lleaders both at the national and state level aven at the local level will all be jailed.
Corruption is a cancer that consumed deep into the heart of the nation.

At the leat, alleviating corruption will take several adminisatrations but it had to start somewhere.

It's time to start your own business!

Entrepreneurship is about solving real problems that

people face in their lives. The more difficult the

problems you can solve, the greater the rewards you’ll get

from the market.


50 HOME BUSINESSES YOU CAN START FOR UNDER US$150.00


Do you want to be your own boss and work your own hours?

We have rounded up 50 businesses you can run from your own

home .

SMMEs (Small Medium and Micro Enterprises) contribute

around 40% of Nigeria gross domestic product, and employ

more than half of the private sector workforce. It is

estimated that as much as 80% of new jobs in world

economies are being created by SMMEs, making small

business a key player in the future growth of our country.

The idea of starting a home-based business is becoming

more of a trend in Nigeria. People want to be at home with

their families rather than waste precious time in traffic

and at the office. The idea of being your own boss, being

able to choose your own hours, being more flexible with

family and friends and having control of your own

financial life is becoming more and more inviting. With

the unreliability of future pension packages and

retirement annuities and the general uncertainty of our

future wealth, it is becoming more and more necessary to

start creating one's own nest eggs for the future.

Starting a business from home is a good way to save money

on overheads such as rent, utilities, insurance and more.

Having a business at home is tax deductible. Even first-

time entrepreneurs find it easier to start a business from

home, allowing to grow into a full-time venture. Start on

a part-time basis and develop the business into a full-

time homemade success.

You can be a pensioner, a teenager, a stay-at-home mom,

be disabled or just be a regular person with a passion to

achieve what you deserve.

We have outlined some of the basics of running a business

from your kitchen table, garage, attic and spare bedroom.

Use these basic tips to help you start your own business.

A. Do what you love
In choosing things, people tend to stick to what they

know and like, which also refers to starting your own

business. Find something you love and feel good about

doing, then figure out how to get paid for it. Liking what

you do and knowing how to do it properly will make for a

more prosperous business than if you don't, so make sure

you decide on the right business and choose something you

love and are familiar with. While nurturing this business

you will be spending plenty of time making it work.

B. Have the right attitude
Don't get caught up with the idea that you will earn

money quickly. Business success is created by hard work

and dedication. You will reap the rewards later, and they

will be worth the work and dedication. Remember this is

your business; nurture it like you would your children.

Patience and persistence are two key elements required.

C. Create a plan to generate business
Hand out flyers, send out bulk emails, and send out press

kits to local newspapers and corporate companies.

Investigate advertising and utilise the power of word-of-

mouth. Become active in local small business groups, get

out and sell yourself and have opening/introductory

specials, etc. These are some methods of how to become

known. Marketing and advertising is costly, but is a good

investment for the future of your business, although you

must plan properly before spending money on this.
Use your existing equipment - computer, printer, knitting

machine, sewing machine, etc.


1. Make and sell food products
Find your favourite recipe and sell it, such as biscuits,

vetkoek, koeksisters, muffins, cakes, jams, pickled

vegetables, etc. Sell them to Tuis Nywerheid shops, coffee

shops and even corporate offices. Start small with low

capital, charge to replace ingredients, and make profit to

build up reserves.

2. Computer Design services
If you already have a computer and a printer, design

labels and advertising pamphlets, type students' projects,

CVs, etc. With the correct programs you can design

letterheads and business cards.

3. Teach your craft
Are you good at a certain craft, and others keep telling

you they wish they could also learn to be as good as you?

Well, share this talent - start offering classes. You can

teach one-on-one or small classes. This can be from glass

painting, fabric painting, pottery, sketching, bead craft,

etc.

4. Music teacher
Do you already have piano and/or other musical

instruments? Teach from your own home, or visit students'

homes. Singing lessons are also in demand.

5. Sewing Entrepreneur
With your sewing machine and your creative talent, start

with sewing alterations. Design and make clothes for

people from normal wear to specialised evening wear to

fancy-dress costumes. With affordable, efficient,

professional work and creativity, your business will grow

quickly. Everyone needs alterations.

6. Photographer
If you are talented with photography and already have a

good camera you can hire yourself out to take wedding

pictures, 21st birthday parties, office functions. Once

your business starts to grow you can build a studio at

home and move into doing things like family portraits.
Take portrait photos of children at schools and crèches.

People love their pets almost as much as their children,

so how about taking portrait pictures of people's beloved

animals? Photograph people at local clubs, restaurants,

pubs, etc and charge. Don't forget to get permission from

establishments first.

7. Handyman/ Carpenter
You already have the basic tools and some know-how? It's

easy to market yourself to neighbours and friends, and

thereafter word-of-mouth will bring you further custom.

Clients usually pay for material upfront. Start off with

small jobs and as your confidence grows you can start

taking on larger projects. You will eventually specialise

in a particular area of business operation.

8. Mural painting
You are artistic and love to paint. Use this talent and

start painting murals. Start on neighbours' and friends'

walls. As your confidence grows and you develop an idea of

what to specialise in, go to crèches, family nurseries,

corporates for advertising commissions, restaurants,

schools, churches, etc.

9. Direct Selling
It is easy and there are so many products to sell

directly such as homewares (Tupperware), cosmetics (Avon,

Sh'Zen, Avroy Shlain, Annique), kids' products (Smile,

Acorn) and costume jewellery (Honey, etc). The start-up is

a fairly small investment, usually the acquisition of a

start-up kit from your local agent. Most companies supply

you with sufficient help and guidance, and thereafter it's

simply a matter of showing booklets to people wherever you

are, obtaining orders, having parties at your house, and

so on.

10. Party Entertainer
Utilise your love of children. Buy or get a costume made

for you, such as a clown outfit, magician suite, etc., and

entertain children at birthday parties, fundraisers or

children's events. Make balloon characters, juggle, clown

around and more. Rent yourself out to children's parties.

Make flyers and hand out to schools, churches, crèches,

etc.

11. Professional Organiser
This is best for articulate, neat people. Rent yourself

out to residential houses by organising and tidying up

garages, home offices, kitchens and other rooms. Become an

adviser on how to organise areas efficiently and clutter-

free. From this you can also branch out into organising

files, data, etc. Specialise in closet organising as well.

12. Portrait Sketching
If you are a fairly talented artist who is good at

portraits using various paint mediums, advertise yourself.

Sketch or paint portraits from your home. Family portraits

and children's portraits are popular.

13. Tutor
Offer to teach extra maths and other subjects to high

school learners and students. This can be done after

hours, giving you free time during the day or directly

after school.

14. Cartoonist
Have you gotten into trouble several times for doodling

cute cartoon characters or drawing the teacher in a funny

way? Think about designing cartoon strips or characters

for magazines, newspapers, private leaflets, restaurant

walls etc.

15. Corporate Catering
Make sandwiches, muffins, soup, etc. and sell to

corporate offices during lunch and tea times. Get

permission from businesses first before going to their

offices. Branch out into making and selling assorted

platters on order. Ask for 50% deposit to cover food

costs.

16. Second-hand Clothing dealer
Advertise around your neighbourhood and through

acquaintances for quality secondhand clothes. Pay per

packetful, fix the clothes up, add a more modern and

customised touch and resell them at your local flea market

as second-hand clothing.

17. Doll clothing designer/ toymaker
Are you good at sewing? Do you have several useless

pieces of scrap material you don't know what to do with?

Buy pieces of material offcuts cheaply, because you do not

need large pieces of fabric to make dolls and Barbie

clothes, and make and sell them for a quarter of the price

retail shops ask, plus you can make a significant profit.

Parents are always looking for an affordable way to keep

their little girls happy.

18. Calligraphy service/ special invitation marketing
Calligraphy is still used for special invitations,

corporate events and on certificates. There are software

forms for personal computers, but the real thing is always

preferred and more special. If you think you can or are

good at calligraphy, hire yourself out and do it by hand

for clients. If you have a knack for special writings this

is very useful.

19. Second hand book and magazines dealer
Do you love books, classic magazines and comics, and do

you know people who are pack rats? Find second-hand,

sought-after books in garage sales, second-hand shops;

flea markets, neighbours, auctions, family and friends,

etc. You can sell these books over the Internet or through

flyers. From the money you have made on existing books and

part of the profits, buy new stock to replenish your

stock.

20. Furniture Refurbishing
Are you good at revamping old furniture? Turn a boring

desk into a decoupage masterpiece, whitewash old dining-

room chairs to bring them back to life, repaint and revamp

an old chest of drawers, etc. Why must people buy brand

new expensive furniture when they have you to restore

their existing classic pieces? Ask for a deposit upfront

per project.

21. Growing Herbs
Do you have green fingers? Are you good at planting herbs

and vegetables for cooking? Everyone loves fresh herbs to

cook with. Try planting them in your home garden : basal,

rosemary, parsley, thyme etc. Sell to local fresh produce

markets or privately.

22. Management Consulting
This is one of the positions which always endures,

particularly in a slow economy. More and more companies

need consultants to help increase revenues and cut costs.

This job entails intellectual challenge, prestige,

opportunities to learn, and high levels of job

satisfaction.

23. Nurse
Personalised weight-loss consulting, teaching childbirth

classes, midwifery, lactation consultant, home healthcare,

nutrition supplements or vitamin sales. Insurance

companies and medical aids also require these skills for

the review of cases and claims assessments.

24. Website publisher
If you already have a computer, information retrieval and

the management of Internet information is a possibility.

Become a website publisher.

25. Marketing
Provide public relations services, do copywriting,

prepare marketing plans or plan events.

26. Administrative Assistant
Secretarial support for small businesses, desktop

publishing if you already have a computer, typing

services, preparation of CVs for college students.

27. Language Translator/ Teacher
If you are fluent in more than 2 languages, hire yourself

out. You can translate corporate letters, documents, books

and pamphlets targeted at certain foreign areas and

population groups, etc. Magazines and the publishing

industry hire freelance translators. Also, because of the

many different cultures and languages spoken in South

Africa, many people are looking to learn new cultures and

languages. Find out more about becoming certified.

28. Patternmaker
If you have been working in the patternmaking, clothing

design or fabric industry and want to branch out on your

own and work from home, design patterns for designers,

dressmakers and freelance for companies. Many part-time

and full-time designers need help creating patterns for

their creations. Make a name for yourself.

29. Mystery Shopper
Do you love shopping? Market yourself to retail

companies. Advise on service glitches, staff customer

service, security issues, etc. You can spend your days in

shopping centres "shopping", and then compile reports at

home for clients.

30. Freelance Writer
Tired of the rat race and constant deadline-driven

environment? Work for companies writing articles, columns,

press releases, etc.

31. Computer Consultant
If you are a whiz with computers, hire yourself out. Help

small businesses with computer problems, repairs, and

server problems, give advice on where to buy their

equipment and what to buy, etc.

32. Dance Instructor
Has dancing been your life and do you want it to

continue? Teach dancing from your lounge or garage,

beginners to advanced levels.

33. Fundraiser
If you are an organised, articulate person and know you

would be good at organising events, start freelancing as a

fundraiser. Market yourself to small companies, corporate

companies, schools, churches and organisations.

34. Image Consultant
Image consulting is a fast-growing industry as more

people are becoming more conscious about how they dress in

public and for functions. Target celebrities and

socialites.

35. Pet walking
If you are a pet lover, look after pets while owners are

on holiday or at work. Your clients will know that their

pets get proper care and individual attention. They take

their pets to your home where you look after them instead

of the impersonal pet shelters and kennels/catteries. Walk

dogs on the beach or around the area.

36. Proofreader/ Editor
Hire yourself out to publishing companies and small

businesses, and proofread their press releases, websites,

etc before finalisation. Spelling or grammar errors are

unprofessional, and companies need to take care that their

literature is perfect.

37. Professional Reviewer
Review CD's, books, websites, and programme packages,

etc., or review restaurants, shops, clubs, etc.

38. Reunion Organiser

a new home or renting an apartment. Suggesting schools,

colleges, churches and spouse job placement counselling.

46. Display Artist

businesses, supervising their window and in-store

displays. Handle store special promotions and seasonal

requirements. Eventually hire out props, scenic backdrops

etc made by yourself to enhance the display.

47. Business Matchmaking Service or personal dating
Use your business contacts and skills to bring together

industry and commerce by getting them to utilise each

others' strong points, i.e. manufacturing, supplies,

research, subcontracting etc. The goal is to cut costs and

improve productivity and effect maximum results,

harnessing the client's knowledge and capabilities to

maximum benefit. Especially useful if you can assist with

BEE companies. Or matching couples.

and u believe that cock and bull story of obj returning 200million dollars? Nigerians never learn .
Ofcourse he did, nt only obj.Ladoja former Oyo state governor also returned #500m.
u think obj never saw this coming, he knew things like this would come up so he acted fast.

I think he 'promised to'; has he?

He also promised to blow the whistle on everyone else who does not do the same . . . has he?

Hopefully, he will.

bros get ur facts right, obj never returned any money, why should he have kept money belonging to nigeria in his account ? Or u think obj is dumb to do something that will send him to jail . Don't u know that returning any money proves the point that he is corrupt and guilty and the case of ladoja is different entirely ,ladoja returned 500million naira when he immediately left government and when akala was probing him not when buhari won this election , ladoja case and issue is about 4 to 5 years ago since he returned and the 500 million he returned has got nothing to do with haliburton ,the money ladoja returned is viewed as belonging to oyo state.

That is because he asked them to return d over $140m recovered by d US Government.

Do u expect d US to return d money without justice/indictment?
of course not. It seems like I did not really analyse the matter in my head before commenting. Thanks for throwing some light in my dark! ;(

"U.S. government made it clear that unless those
involved were prosecuted, part of the bribe money, about
$140 million, recovered and still in the US, would not be
repatriated to Nigeria."

Brother mahn! U.S wasn't telling him what to do, they are saying what they won't do. Why was the whole issue placed on silence before now, If not that a move has been made by the present government to get the money repatriated to Nigeria?

am nt a press man bro, bt we do get informations from them Whc they claim obj did.and on d issue of Ladoja, he returned d money to avoid probe, nobody is linking that to Halliburton neither d one returned by obj.
they both simply did to avoid been indicted by any panel set up to investigate any case of corruption Whc they might be involved.

United state found their own son culpable but Nigeria Court suppressed the matter. This is the problem in this country,meanwhile the judges here do send those stealing chicken & goat to several years imprisonment . There is so much injustice in the land . Things can not work where there is no justice .

bros which press are u referring to?I hope not naija press oo. Who will setup a probe to probe ladoja The only reason this one may come up is the international angle to it and infact the possiblity of buhari reopening the case is just 10% or even 5%. Don't rely on nairaland politics section for news ,talk to real politicians on the ground. Ladoja returned the money years and years ago ,that is the end of that case . Buhari has said it numerous times that he has no time to open past cases , the job and challenges in front of him far outweighs that of any nigerian president in the past. The moment he starts with cases , you wey dey naija go suffer tire because he will have no time for any other meaningful thing.
