President Muhammadu Buhari and the Raised Fist Salute
Why does President Muhammadu Buhari like the clenched raised fist salute?
It is like his political symbol which he used during his presidential campaign for the 2015 presidential election and he used it again at his swearing in ceremony on May 29, 2015.

Automotive Lubricants Market in Nigeria and South Africa Receives A Boost
Automotive Lubricants Market in Nigeria and South Africa Receives A Boost
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nigeria and South Africa rely heavily on imported raw materials for automotive lubricants. However, the volatility of oil prices and the devaluating currencies in both countries is set to provide a huge boost to the local production of automotive lubricants. A combined market of $2.14 billion is driven mainly by the demand for engine oils, but there has been a perceptible rise in end-user demand for other lubricants like transmission oil, gear oil and coolants.

81% Of Young Italians Live With Their Parents
~ By Niall McCarthy, Oct 26, 2016.
In many countries around the world, a huge proportion of young people still live at home with their parents. According to an OECD report, that trend is most pronounced in countries badly hit by the global financial crisis, particularly in Italy, Greece and Spain. 8 out of every 10 Italians aged between 15 and 29 still lived at home with their parents in 2014. In Scandinavia, youth living at home is a rarer phenomenon. In 2014, only 35 percent of young Swedish people still lived with their parents.

Americans' Top Fears In 2016
Americans' Top Fears In 2016
The explosion of “creepy clown” sightings across the United States has made people look over their shoulder just a little bit more often over the past few months. Even though those clowns have the potential to cause even more mayhem in the run up to Halloween, they don’t rank particularly high on Americans’ top fears of 2016.
The recently published Chapman University Survey of American Fears reveals that corruption of government officials is actually the top fear among U.S. adults in 2016. 60.6 percent of respondents said that they were afraid or very afraid of top-level corruption. Terrorism is still a considerable fear factor for Americans, with 41 percent afraid of an attack on the nation and 39.5 percent afraid of becoming a victim.
A survey recently revealed that 69 percent of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts so it comes as little surprise that personal finance is high on the long list of fears. 39.9 percent of U.S. adults are afraid of having inadequate funds for the future, an increase on last year’s 37.4 percent.

Their survivors and successors have failed to speak out against the violations of the rights of the suffering poor masses who live at the mercy of the greedy and wicked oppressors in the corridors of power from Lagos to Abuja and from the Niger Delta to Lake Chad.
