Prerequisite: Advanced talents
Benefit: A rogue with this talent can attempt to spread a rumor through a small town or larger settlement by making a Bluff check. She can do so a number of times per week equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 0). The DC is based on the size of the settlement, and it takes a week for the rumor to propagate through the settlement. If the check succeeds, the rumor is practically accepted as fact within the community; succeeding by 5 or more over the DC decreases the time it takes the rumor to propagate by 1d4 days. A failed check means the rumor failed to gain traction, while failing by 5 or more causes the opposite of the rumor or some other competing theory involving the rumor's subject to take hold.

"What is your mother? A lioness among lions! She lay down among the young lions and reared her cubs." Ezekiel 19:2
I recently joined this ladies book club weekly meeting called, "Lioness Arising" which is a book/study guide series by Lisa Bevere. I have read many of her books, but this one really interests me because it was about women, motherhood and nature. So truly unlike me, I offered to host the group and open my home. My OCD often times inhibits me from being truly hospitable, but I realized it's an area of my life in which I really need work. I want my home to be a vessel, open to people who need it. But do they have to walk on my carpet with their shoes and place their drinks on my coffee table? Terrible I know.
But after our first session, I loved it! I loved the people, I love hosting and more than anything, I loved the material. At first, I thought it was going to be about standing up, being aggressive and taking care of business which appealed to my aggressive and confrontational manner. And it is in many ways, but it's actually more about doing it all with grace and virtue and doing it for all mankind….not just for oneself, for women and not just for one's own children.
I've realized that I need that balance in my life. I get indignant about areas that I feel so "right" about that I often forget that it's about people & relationships. As a mother, I thought I would get more tender and nurturing and in some ways, I have. But I've also become like an episode of Wild Kingdom where you see a mother fiercely attack to protect her young!
So I'm hoping this series helps me learn the balance, time & place for my actions and to be sensitive to the Spirit of God on my purpose in how to do all that I've been called to do in all areas of my life.

Is Coconutreat all natural?
Coconutreat Coconut Oil is unprocessed and all natural. It is Extra Virgin, Cold Pressed, Certified USDA Organic. There is no expeller pressing, chemical extraction, hydrogenation, refining, bleaching, or deodorizing. Coconutreat Coconut Oil is a clear liquid when melted, and a pure white solid when below 76 degrees. We believe Coconutreat is the best Coconut Oil available. We are confident you will love the fresh flavor and aroma.
How do I use Coconut Oil?
To get the maximum benefit of Coconut Oil one should consume three tablespoons a day. This can be spooned or melted in a warm drink like herbal tea. It can also be used in food like in warm oatmeal, toast, or fried eggs. Ideally, Coconut Oil should be used for all your cooking, baking, and frying as it is very stable to cook with. It is used cup for cup in recipes. Use a little less in cookies or they go flat, and mix it with cold water for pie crusts. Use Coconut Oil to bake bread and in all your recipes. Bake or fry potatoes with it, put it on steamed veggies, etc.
Use it to replace processed GMO vegetable oils. Vegetable oils are highly processed and extremely concentrated. Natural is always better. Be aware that many people are scared of natural fats due to misinformation and don't eat enough. Low or non-fat does not exist in nature.
Your body may not be able to handle 3 tablespoons of Coconut Oil a day. It is best to start with one or two teaspoons a day and work up to three tablespoons. Because fats and oils are damaged by light, heat, and oxygen, they have a limited shelf life. However, the more saturated the fat is, the more stable it is. Most Coconut Oil is 95-98% saturated fat. Because of this it will last years in food storage. This is also dependent on the moisture content of the oil. Because of its low moisture content Coconutreat Coconut Oil will last much longer than cheaper processed or expeller pressed coconut oils. No refrigeration necessary. Keep it in a top cupboard and it remains soft year round. Coconut Oil is unique as it is the only significant food source of Medium Chain Fatty Acids like those found in breast milk. Please read Dr Bruce Fife's books on coconut oil, namely Coconut Cures, Eat Fat Look Thin, and The Coconut Lovers Cookbook for more information.
What is the Shelf Life of Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil?
Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil has been known to not show any signs of rancidity even after 3 years. We even had people tell us of their Coconut Oil showing no signs of rancidity even after 7 and 15 years of storage! No refrigeration is necessary.
Is Coconut Oil a Seed Oil?
No. Coconut Oil is classified as a vegetable oil, even if the coconut fruit that matures is actually the seed from which the new coconut tree will grow from.
What is the difference between VIRGIN Coconut Oil & COPRA Coconut Oil?
If you buy regular Coconut Oil, chances are it came from dried copra. This usually sits in a warehouse and gets oiled after a few months. This is bleached and deodorized to cover the burned unpleasant aroma and color. This is why there is no coconut aroma. High heat is also used which is why this type of oil is yellowish in color. Coconutreat Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil is cold-pressed immediately upon opening of the coconut. The oil is extracted before the fermentation process sets in. It is normally bottled or packed within 8 hours from the time the nut is opened. This is not bleached nor deodorized, maintaining the freshness and the sweet coconut scent. It will also be clear as water in liquid form because no high heat was used in it's processing. Some people still use the old fermentation process, which is expelling the coconut milk then letting the coconut milk sit for 20 to 36 hours to allow the natural fermentation process to separate the oil. This process turns the oil sour and has a short shelf life due to the high moisture content. This home made oil is all right for home use, if the oil will be used immediately. The shelf life of this type of oil is two weeks to a maximum of two months. This type of oil turns rancid in a short period of time because of the high moisture content.
What is Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil?
Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil is Oil produced from a Certified Organic Farm. The process should have also been Certified as Organic. The processing plant is also inspected and certified to have used only food grade equipment, usually only stainless steel. The processing must be natural with no chemical preservatives or additives. All Philippines coconut trees used to be ORGANIC. Today however, we are SAD to SAY that the Philippines Coconut Authority has started promoting the use of fertilizer on the coconut trees to improve the yield of nuts from the coconut trees. If you are buying ORGANIC, ask for the Organic Certification. If you are purchasing Extra Virgin Coconut Oil then the EVCO must be clear as water and have a sweet coconut scent. If is not clear as water and does not have a mild coconut aroma then you know it is not EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL. Fermented Coconut Oil will have a Sour and Rancid smell. Some producers will also try to filter their fermented coconut in charcoal to try to remove the sour smell but instead that process gives the coconut a burnt smell and taste. In Dr. Bruce Fife's book Coconut Cures he gives instructions how to ferment coconut milk if you want to make your own fermented coconut oil for healing purposes. So, do a smell and taste test. Not all Virgin Coconut Oils are alike. Just like not all Coconuts are Organic. We at Coconutreat.com are proud to inform you that we are distributors for an Organic Coconut Plantation in the Philippines. The Processing Plant has also been inspected and certified.
What are the attributes of Coconut Oil?
Coconut Oil is one of the most stable oils and is highly resistant to rancidity (It is the unsaturated fats in the common seed oils that are easily oxidized and susceptible to rancidity). It is stable because of its high proportion of saturated fats. Coconut Oil is mild on the skin and is widely used in the tropics. Film-forming qualities allow it to act as a skin moisturizer and a protectant against moisture loss. Its natural detergency and lathering capabilities give a double purpose as a cleansing agent for soaps and shampoos.
Why don't you use glass containers for your Coconut Oil?
So as not to increase the cost of your Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, our packaging is in high quality USDA approved PETE plastic canisters. This is the same plastic used in water and soda bottles. The PETE canisters are guaranteed to not leach toxic materials into the oil. They are also safer than glass because they do not break and can be reused over and over again as canisters for other foods or more Coconut Oil! We know of no other company that supplies Coconut Oil in these wonderful easy to hold, wide mouth canisters. You'll love them. We guarantee it!

In Reply to: I just took my BP and I cannot beleive this posted by Tammy on March 27, 2000 at 16:55:34:
: It has been great. Like 130/80 or lower. Well I just took it and it was 142/95. Why the jump all of a sudden.
: The doctor is having me take it 3 times a day. Well today in the morning it was 130/80, the afternoon it was 127/73 and now: I just took it and it was 142/95. Why is this?
: Any help will be appreciated.
: Tammy______I too have had varying degrees of BP during the day in the past, and now it's pretty much settled down. I wonder what constitutes HBP? Can some doctor answer this? My doctor told me that everyone's BP fluctuates, even people with HBP, however, it's my opinion that once the damage is done (hardening of the arteries) that the BP pretty much stays on the higher end and doesn't go into the lower. Is this a good assumption? Somebody answer us???!

Nexen acquisition boosts profit at CNOOC
CNOOC now looks at listing on Toronto stock exchange
China's state-owned energy giant CNOOC says the higher oil and gas production it gained through its takeover of Calgary-based Nexen has boosted its first half profit by eight per cent.
In a controversial deal approved by the federal government last December, China National Offshore Oil Company bought Nexen for $15.1-billion US.
The deal passed its last hurdle — approval by U.S. regulators — in February, giving CNOOC access to Canadian oilsands as well as a Nexen properties in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Nigeria.
Of the 198.1 million barrels of oil and gas CNOOC produced in the first half ending June 30, 24.8 million or 12.5 per cent were from Nexen holdings. Output was up 23 per cent.
CNOOC's oil and gas sales rose 16 per cent to 11.8 billion yuan ($2 billion Cdn) in the January to June period compared to a year earlier, the company said. Revenue jumped 17 per cent to 139.0 billion yuan ($23.5 billion) from 118.3 billion yuan.
Net profit for the six months ended June 30 rose eight per cent to 34.38 billion yuan ($5.8 billion) from 31.87 billion yuan a year earlier.
CEO Li Fanrong said Tuesday the company is now focused on integrating Nexen and getting ready for its listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
"The integration work after the transaction has made impressive progress…The company is also actively working on the application for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange as part of its commitment at the time of the acquisition," Li said in a statement.
The Nexen deal was the largest energy acquisition by one of China's state-owned companies. Nexen needed a cash infusion to help it develop some of its properties, including its Long Lake oilsands project in northern Alberta.

R.I.P. Shame World Tour
LP Giobbi, Haiku Hands
9:30 Club
815 V St. NW
Washington, DC, 20001
Doors 7:00 PM
SOFI TUKKER is the genre-defying duo of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern celebrated for their inclusive and global perspective on electronic music and their work's themes of liberation, unity, and self-empowerment. Their debut single "Drinkee" was nominated for a Best Dance Recording Grammy® which was followed by Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy® nomination for their debut album Treehouse. SOFI TUKKER's music has charted on every continent other than Antarctica and in 2018 they had a top 20 hit on US pop, alternative, and dance radio with "Best Friend". The group has performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, CONAN, MTV's TRL, and Last Call with Carson Daly. SOFI TUKKER are also passionate activists who have raised funds and awareness for Planned Parenthood, The Trevor Project, and the March for Our Lives.
LP Giobbi is rock 'n roll with a disco soul, born draped in sequins and cloaked in fog at a seance in the mountains of Oregon.
She was trained in jazz piano at UC Berkeley before becoming a synth warrior goddess in Los Angeles. She uses her combined knowledge of music theory and sine wave creation to reach the enlightenment afforded by a clusterfuck of inclusivity. Her weapons are charisma, spunk, fearlessness, Pioneer decks, blacks and whites, DAW systems, fields of synthesizers, sequins, feathers and leopard print—and she's not afraid to use them.
She's shared the stage with everyone from Gallant (providing support for Billboard's Next Big Sound showcase) to Madame Gandhi (playing synth bass and DJing), and is currently touring with Sofi Tukker throughout Europe and North America, throwing down her self-produced Afro-Cuban infused piano house tracks with her Korg M1.
When she's not chasing down pianos to play jazz gigs, or producing, engineering and music directing, you can find her DJing and booking shows for W Hotels as their Music Curator, providing a platform of visibility to woman-identified acts with her initiative, FEMMEHOUSE, at August Hall San Francisco, and releasing tracks on Sofi Tukker's new label, Animal Talk (which she also co-owns). You can also jump tits first into her wardrobe with her GIOBBI line of shirts.
HAIKU HANDS are a new collective that have exploded into the music scene with a new single. The group has been around in the worlds of visual art and live performance, but now their frantic energy has been put into a banging track. Claire Nakazawa and Beatrice Lewis are the key forces behind Haiku Hands, with experiences working as vocalists for Urthboy, Mark Pritchard, Lapalux and Hermitude between them.
From the start this tune is solid, with a compressed bassline repeating under the rapping. The confident delivery of tongue in cheek rhymes is chanted by two strong voices, shamelessly doing it for themselves. As the track gains traction, more and more elements are added, a 4 to the floor beat and contrasting hats, and a synth pad mirroring the bass. All together these pieces create a feel good earworm that's bound to get dance floors pumping.
The dance rap style delivery is reminiscent of Le Tigre, with real messages dispersed among seemingly non-sensical lyrics. Packed full of fun rhymes and catchy phrases, Haiku Hands touch on themes of self empowerment and living for the day. The two voices rapping together make this track a fun romp and challenges the listener to learn the words and deliver them with just as much power.
This debut track from Haiku Hands is just the beginning, as more juicy tracks are in the pipeline made with the help of some of Australia's production elite. With names like Joelistics, El Gusto of Hermitude, Lewis Can Cut and Jaytee Hazard in the mix you know what Haiku Hands is going to bring next will be just as large as 'Not About You.'
Sofi Tukker have partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans and their families that are affected by mental illness, as well as NAMI's local affiliates who provide in-person support services, information and advocacy in their communities. www.nami.org

How to Create Binary Options Winning Strategy
How to Create Binary Options Winning Strategy
Read Review
There are a number of traders who continue to lose, but they do not give up on trading. This is because they understand that if they are able to make some successful trades . they will be able to cover their losses. This is exactly how binary options trading works and this is what makes it an interesting field to make money.
The binary options trading marketplace works in such a way that you can make more profit with small consistent trades than you can with big trades where the number of small losses is more. If your trade is successful, the rate of return that you get is not usually more than 75% .
But, if you make a wrong trade, then you end up losing 100% of your investment. In certain types of trades, it is possible to cut a loss the moment you realise that it is going wrong.
But, with binary options trading, you will lose most of what you have risked even if rebates are allowed on the site. Basically, it comes down to being right more times than being wrong.
You can avoid the risk. Some brokers offer clients new feature, called Risk Free Trades .
Porter Finance gives you the chance to trade safe up to 10 trades, no matter their size and open a demo account .
It is important to understand that you can lose a lot in just one trade. Therefore, evaluating how much you are trading with is always a good idea. When trading Forex, it is easy to exit a position after you have made a loss.
For example, if you are risking $1000, you can exit if you lose $100 and this is quite easy. But binary options trading is different and it is not that easy to cut your losses. Rebates are offered by some brokers, but not more than 15%.
An expert trader has the potential to earn a lot of money with binary options trading . The trick here is to know as much as possible about the particular trade you are about to enter. This includes knowing what your chances of success are, what your rate of return could be and what your loss rate could be. Whenever you trade, you must know what your correct trade rate is.
In simple terms, it is the number of times you make a correct trade out of say 100 trades. This can be expressed as a percentage as well. Figure out what your correct trade rate is and you must be very honest with it because it is this factor which will determine whether you are successful or not.
You must not forget to realise that brokers put you at a gap which you need to overcome. In order to make a profit you must be correct more than 50 times per 100 trades.This is because when you win, you only get back about 75%, but when you lose, it is 100% . The gap is huge and to overcome it, you must have at least 58% correct trade rate . It is quite hard to achieve, but with practice and determination, it is possible to create a winning strategy .
On this partner's website www.top10binarystrategy.com you can find the top strategies that are proven to work with binary options.
Another secret to maximising your profit is varying the amount you risk based on the level of confidence you have. For example, if you think a trade has an 80% chance of being successful, then you can risk a little more money.
Depending on the amount of experience you have, you will be able to predict how successful a particular trade will be. Learning and education yourself is the key to success and if you apply the principle you learn to your trading, you will be able to create a winning strategy .

Energy Hook
What do y'all think of this Dark City asset set?
July 2013
Should I get this and put it in Energy Hook? It's super-affordable.
I'm torn. On one hand, it's kind of a generic/derivative dystopian future. And it doesn't fit the look of the rest of Energy Hook. And will using stock assets look cheap? This city is probably going to be cropping up in all kinds of Unity games in the near future.
On the other hand - it's a pretty impressive piece of work, with a ton of assets, and the tall buildings with smooth faces look like they'd be fun.
What do you think?
July 2013
short answer: awesome yes
stupid long answer:
Looks awesome, but I'm just as happy playing with rectangles. Would be awesome but at the same time user made levels could become way cooler. TF2 style, would rather see a way for others to contribute maps in an easier way than settle on any particular one. I would also go for a bunch of maps with n64 era visuals over one that looks like hawken. Would be cool to keep it simple so maybe flatter buildings can exist with the windows being painted on (because I want to wallrun everywhere!) .
On one side would be really awesome and its a great idea, I never even knew you could buy an "asset set". Very cool! But on the other side I really really really really think TF2 does some incredibly smart things :D
July 2013
Looks like fun to me. If it's affordable, I'd say go for it, though it may put artistic pressure to make other levels match...
July 2013
heck yeah! looks cool man
July 2013
If it means there'll be an extra level, I'd say go for it; I imagine that consistent aesthetics are much lower on most people's priorities for Energy Hook than an extra chunk of content.
July 2013
Looks like it could have some entertaining objects to swing from, like the rail-line and the billboards. I don't know that the effort required to make it match the aesthetics of Energy Hook would be worth it, though.
I'd say concentrate on making your own environments. It won't take a significantly longer time, and will be guaranteed to be unique.

My Master has been a bit preoccupied recently with life things and stupidly I thought that meant he wouldn't have been plotting my submission at the same time. But last night proved me wrong. He certainly had ideas in mind to push my to my limits.
He'd had me start the day playing with the John Holmes toy as I researched slutty blonde hairstyles and lesbian threesome videos for Princess, only allowing me to come for him with the toy and four fingers inside my cunt at the same time.
It definitely warmed up nicely for an afternoon playing with Princess and he was keen to hear if I'd been giving her orders. I knew that describing it would be going straight to his cock and just the thought of him stroking it had me wet instantly.
So when he told me to slip the head of my Doxy inside my cunt, it took very little effort. Just a moment's hesitation as my cunt stretched out to take the widest point and the whole head slid in with ease so I could fuck myself with it like a cock.
It felt incredible simply inside me and it genuinely took my breath away with enjoyment when I turned it on. The first vibrations caused my cunt to tighten round it until I slipped it out again slightly and I felt my cunt loosen.
My Master knows my cunt so well that just as I felt my cunt ready to open up he ordered me to slip my hand around the edge of the Doxy and see how many fingers I could take along the huge head of the toy.
Being greedy I slipped two fingers inside and the combination of fingers, vibrations and stretching immediately made me squirt. It was one of the most intense sexual feelings I've ever had without an orgasm and of course my Master would never leave it at that.
He told me to slide three fingers inside and turn the toy up until I came and not to even dare think about turning the toy down no matter how overwhelmed I felt. And it was overwhelming. My cunt was absolutely throbbing with the vibrations of the toy and being stretched but strangely I couldn't quite come.
It took me a moment or two to work out how to fuck the head of the Doxy back and forward with my fingers curled inside and my thumb pressing on my incredibly swollen clit and the whole sensation came together into the loudest orgasm I've ever had as I squirted hard a second time.
It was so intense that I actually felt slightly winded in that pleasurable way you get when you've laughed too hard and I could hardly bring myself to turn the Doxy off because the aftershocks of the orgasm were so deep that each rumble of the toy kept me going.
I genuinely thought I'd pushed my body as far as I can go and was a little worried I'd pay for it next day* which would have been annoying but well worth it. But I also knew my cunt could take more and would ask for more from my Master next time we played…
*my illness can be triggered by exertion and occasionally orgasms set me off. On this occasion I was absolutely fine and filled with horny memories next day instead.

By Jude Johnson
The United Youth Alliance Against Corruption (UYAAC) on April 21, 2017 wrote a petition against the embattled Executive Secretary of National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Prof. Usman Yusuf, containing several allegations bordering on fraud, nepotism and outright abuse of office.
The letter, which was signed by the UYAAC Coordinator, Mr. Solomon Agbo, was copied to the Presidency, Vice-President, Acting SGF, Minister of Health, Chairman Senate Committee on Health, ICPC, DSS, Nigerians, Press, Head of Service of the Federation, NHISLC President, TUG President, Permanent Sec Fed Min. of Health, and NSA.
Part of the statement read: "In line with the tenets set forth by the ideals of our country's leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, on the principles fair play, transparency, rapid targeted development, acts devoid of corruption and elimination of all primordial sentiments, which hitherto had almost torn the seams of our national existence.
"I thus elect to bring to the attention of the government and general public the nepotistically inimical and criminally oriented acts currently being machinated and executed by the Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Prof. Usman Yusuf."
"More so, knowing the pains that my immediate constituency (The Youths), who have been grossly shortchanged in the sharing of National resources, but are, constrained to make financial contributions to the NHIS pool from their meager incomes. We will rise as a group to fight and oppose any plan to criminally mortgage our health insurance. Never will we sit and witness the rot that occurred to pension funds befalls our health plans.
"Professor Usman Yusuf's expertise in the field of pediatrics and exposure in healthcare delivery is not in doubt. The issue at stake is whether he is corrupt, violating financial laws of the country, nepotically inclined and therefore not a reflection of integrity and sincerity personified by President Muhammadu Buhari who appointed him.
"Corruption is one of the burning issues in Nigeria; it cuts across various strata of governance. My focus in the first of these series of addresses is the NHIS, under the leadership of Professor Usman Yusuf.
"NHIS as it stand today is riddled in a mess and monumental corruption institutionalized by the current head of the scheme. Where there's corruption in government somebody or everybody is making a lot of money, which makes it dangerous.
"We also know accepting fraud from our leaders means accepting fraud in our personal lives."
A quick rundown of the grey areas as it affects the operations and orientation of NHIS are listed below:
- The first fraudulent act of the Executive Secretary was perpetuated through the training programme of staff. The total sum of 860 million naira was budgeted for training in the 2016 budget. Immediately Prof. Yusuf assumed duty, he set in place machinery to award contracts for trainings which were all devoid of laid down procedures. These trainings where not targeted to improve the capacity of the staff but towards his personal profiteering, as will be observed in the empty content of the trainings particularly in the ICT sector. This he perfected with his cronies by organizing five (5) different trainings namely: 1) ICT, 2) Risk Management, 3) Healthcare Financing, 4) Communication strategy, 5) Public Procurement.
All these spending he carried out were above his approval limits, but he was always heard to claim that he has the ears of the President, they being from the same state, and whatever your complaints, they will go nowhere.
Under the ICT training the contractor, First Digital and Techno-Law Forensics ltd spent over 400 million naira by contract splitting which is anti-ethical to laid down procurement rules, all designed to profit the owner, Mallam Mahdi, who happens to be his benefactor and confidant. This he achieved by positioning him to supervise all the contracts nationwide in ICT, First Digital incidentally got the bulk of these jobs.
In one of the trainings, a course fee of 520,000 naira per staff for three days local training was approved without recourse to diligent planning but with the mindset to profiteer his cronies. After a lot of hue and cry from the general staff the fee was cut to 270,000 naira under suspicious circumstances.
Thus the fraud began, most of these trainings which were scheduled to hold across the 36 states and the FCT never held, while those that held was incomparable to the funds which had all being released for the trainings. There was absence of training materials in most of the designated venues of the trainings.
Multiples of payment vouchers ranging between 19 million, 18 million and 21million where raised to cover up for the payment of over 400 million naira for these trainings. One of his cronies, Mr. Aliyu Dodo Lawal who was instrumental in this cover up should be held to provide more documentary evidence.
In a similar vein over 250 million naira was arranged between Prof. Yusuf and a consultant, AMA Health Consult, owned by three retired managers of the scheme, who are also bosom friends of the ES, namely: Abdulsalam Bala, Dr. Kabiru Mustafa and Dr. Thomas Adeoye.
It is on record that when these men were kidnapped in 2014, Prof. Yusuf paid part of their ransom, giving them this contract is not a pay-back but a channel through which he will still profiteer from the monies realized.
The training in question was awarded initially at 300,000 naira per staff for 3 days, but after vociferous outcry from staff it was again reduced to 250,000 naira.
Similarly, a training of over 120,000,000 million naira was approved for staff training outside the country to his friend Mahdi, on Risk Management, all geared towards kickbacks.
The amount of 150,000,000 million naira was also approved for the consultant in the training of Report writing, who also happens to be his brother who is a retired director, by name Alh. Kabiru Yaradua.
It should be observed that all these approvals by Prof. Yusuf are above his approval threshold according to laid down norms of the service, circumventing this by contract splitting.
- That Professor Usman Yusuf approved Supply of E-library equipment to a Company named Promatrix Global resources Ltd for 28 Million Naira with the company getting paid before execution. This is against procurement rules.
Attached as Appendix 3A-3C and 4A-4C, are different store receipt vouchers with differing dates on when goods where supplied but same date of payment. The goods where supplied on the 06/04/2017 while the job had been paid for on the 28/03/2017 but the vouchers were tampered with by the GM Finance and Accounts to cover the above mentioned anomaly. Assuming that the job was executed on the 27/04/2017, how possible is it to install and make payment within a day. These are questions the ES, GM F&A and GM Audit should answer for.
- That he Professor Usman awarded a media consultancy job to his brother Alhaji Kabir Yar'Adua, meanwhile the Honourable Minister for Health had previously instructed the ES to disengage the Head of Procurement, who led the tender board meeting and signed those award letters, therefore, all those awarded contacts including that of E-library which was paid for before Execution as mentioned earlier are all illegal as it has contradicted the procurement laws of the land, therefore, funds must be refunded.
- Payment of funds to contractors before supply of goods in connivance with Head of Finance, Mr. John Okon and Head of Audit, Shehu Adamu to help in covering up the payment of funds before execution of contracts. See Appendix 3 and 4.
- The leadership of NHIS has developed the culture of spending the Schemes funds without prior approval of the supervising minister, claiming Mr. President had given him blank approval.
- Professor Usman Yusuf has severally awarded contracts above his 2.5M Naira threshold which is against procurement act, and most of the contracts were awarded to Mallam Mahdi and his brothers.
- That he encouraged the supply of fake products and substandard goods to the store, with a warning to the GM Finance and Accounts of the consequences of turning them down. Instead of encouraging him to be unto his job and deliver on good quality
- That most of the contracts given during his time are inflated to over 100 percent.
- That he has bragged repeatedly of having the backing of Mr. President in disobedience to his supervising Minister, Minister of Labour, TUC and NLC with his continued non obedience of the aforementioned, the question begging for an answer now, is Mr. President aware as he claimed, we doubt this very much, is our President encouraging corruption or what?
- Mr. Vincent, the head of insurance is an Actuarial Scientist by profession, while there is an insurance expert in the scheme Mr. Ibanga and Mr. Solomon was transferred to Minna based on intimidation antics of Vincent, since both the ES and Mr. Vincent have an ulterior plan to fleece the scheme.
- I would also want the security agencies to find out how insurance brokers are chosen for the scheme? Is it by Mallam Mahdi and Prof. Usman Yusuf?
- One of the insurance companies so chosen, Guinea Insurance never had an office in Abuja, but were brought on board to facilitate the criminal activities of the above mentioned duo. The EFCC should check their books. The ES has always insisted that you don't need to choose your HMO, but what is his interest in insisting on particular insurance companies? This is pertinent questions to be answered.
- Each HMO pays 7.2 million naira to the insurance company, presently there are over 34 national HMOs, the EFCC should also beam it searchlight on this matter. Why the flat rate?
- Also of foremost importance is the declaration of Prof. Yusuf that he will not give jobs to any one that is not his person, which he has been doing. Let the names of companies that he awarded contracts to since August 2016 be brought out and their financial transactions examined, since most are his cronies and fronts through which he arranges kick-backs.
- Also, Prof. Usman was found out to have grossly abused his office and paved an avenue for him to fleece the scheme through the set in policy of assisting enrollees of the scheme in seeking medical attention. He single-handedly increased the approved financial support to one Fatima Saidu Dabai from a sum of N10, 800,000.00 to N16, 220,600 which he directed to be paid to Katameya Firstcall Hospital Ltd as against the first approval to pay directly to the lady. It was discovered that the said hospital is owned by his friend, also he flouted the rules of the scheme which state that aid will be offered to only enrollees, and hospitals to be used must be accredited by the scheme. Both of which he flouted.
This same case was also observed in the person of Nnodim Chinyere, where a sum of N16, 079,100.00 was arbitrarily approved by the ES flouting the same rules stated above in the same hospital. Attached to back this up is Appendix 6A-6C.
It should be observed that there are many enrollees currently awaiting supports which he has thrown into the dustbin.
The ES denied a staff of the Kaduna office, Mr. Al Amin Mohammed medical assistance which ultimately lead to his demise, while these two persons mentioned above were not even enrolls.
This same act is what he had previously accused the HMOs of conniving with enrollees to cheat the scheme which he is now perpetuating.
- The ES without recourse to laid down norms approved the sum of N210, 000,000.00 for Electronic media, in connivance with the GM Finance, GM Audit and the new Media Head.
- Sadly, corruption has become so common in NHIS, that people are averse to thinking of NHIS without this phenomenon. Files are now routed by hand to prevent discovery of all these untoward acts. NHIS is on downward slope, destruction and collapse, the Economic and financial crime commission must rise to the occasion and face the glaring truth, courage and foresight to do the needy. The path to greatness has been handicapped by institutionalized corruption spearheaded by Professor Usman Yusuf.
- The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission should as a matter of urgency demand for all the files to these cases and go to NHIS procurement department for documents that will back up these claims.
- The EFCC will have to demonstrate to the Presidency, Nigerians and the international community that she is serious in fighting corruption and fraud in high places by proving her efficiency and effectiveness in the way and manner it handles this petition against the Executive Secretary of National Health Insurance Scheme, Professor Usman Yusuf.
22.Since he has been saying that he has security report against his GMs please let him bring it out, we shall help him to prosecute them and also the scheme funds that he said he has recovered let him make the names of HMOs concerned so we can help him prosecute them.
- The labour bodies should also scrutinize the activities of the local chapters there, since their inactivity to these glaring misdeeds makes one suspect as they may also be complicit in the rot.
PRAYERS: Sir, my humble request is for the anti-Corruption bodies to independently investigate the activities of the scheme, while Prof Usman Yusuf just as in the case of the SGF, should also be immediately suspended together with the GMs of Finance and Audit Head so that there will be further investigation to allow the law take its natural course. If the SGF will be suspended so that due process will be followed then why not Prof. Usman and his corrupt Directors! Otherwise justice, fairness and equity will never be achieved.
