A ship carrying half a million barrels of oil that was pumped in the U.S. docked at a terminal owned by Venezuela last week,
according to oil data research firm Clipper Data. The shipment was sent to a facility located on the Dutch island of Curacao in the Caribbean.

The fact that Venezuela is importing American oil is raising eyebrows because Venezuela has 298 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, according to the Energy Information Administration. That's more than Saudi Arabia, Russia or Iran and eight times the reserves of the United States.

But the oil extracted in Venezuela is very heavy and hard to refine and then sell to other countries. Venezuela needs to first mix its heavy oil with lighter types of crude to balance out the quality, according to Nilofar Saidi, an oil market analyst at Clipper Data.

Saidi said Venezuela had already been importing lighter types of crude oil from Russia, Angola and Nigeria.

It is very annoying when someone is insulting your intelligence, every government in the world is measured by how they improve the living standard of their people. Corruption is never our problem but the causes of corruption, if we sought out the causes of corruption in government and strengthen the institutions in this country then, fighting corruption will become institutionalized, then, any government can claim victory for that but until then, we are not fighting corruption. You can not be fighting corruption by prosecuting, persecuting Dasuki and friends.

Julian Assange says he will turn himself in to British police if he loses an appeal he filed with the United Nations.
The WikiLeaks founder has been holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in west London since 2012, to avoid extradition to Sweden where he is accused of rape.


Assange said he submitted a complaint to the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention about his case in 2014. Justice for Assange, a site set up to fight for his release, said the panel is expected to rule this week whether Assange's detention arbitrarily deprived him of his liberty. In other words, if it is illegal.

"Should the UN announce tomorrow that I have lost my case against the United Kingdom and Sweden I shall exit the embassy at noon on Friday to accept arrest by British police," Assange said in a statement posted by WikiLeaks.
