WEIRD, INDIAN MAN CUTS OFF FINGER AS THANKSGIVING SACRIFICE FOR BAIL GRANTED TO SONIA AND RAHUL GANDHI IN NATIONAL HERALD CASE

SONIA AND RAHUL GANDHI

On December 25, 2015 Induvalu Suresh, a 35 year old Indian businessman from Ramanagaram is reported to have gone to Tirupati city and cut off his left little finger and left it as a sacrificial donation in the local hundi.

The hundi is an informal system found in the Indian sub-continent in which individuals make written unconditional orders pledging to exchange something for another. In the case of Suresh, he exchanged his left little finger as thanksgiving after the release on bail in December 2015 of political leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi who are facing charges in court in respect of the National Herald case.

The court case is based on the allegation that the Indian National Congress granted an interest free loan to AGL, owners of the National Herald newspapers. It has been suggested that the loan was never repaid and both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, directors were charged for the matter but now released on bail.

BIG HAUL AS MEXICAN AUTHORITIES FINALLY APPREHEND MEXICAN DRUG LORD ‘EL CHAPO’

EL CHAPO REARRESTED

There must have been a big sigh of relief in Mexico as the President of Mexico, Pena Nieto on Friday announced the capture of Mr. Joaquin Guzman Loera six months after his escape from a Mexican prison via a message on twitter. Mr. Guzman also known as ‘El Chapo’ is said to be the most notorious narcotics trafficker in the world and leads the Sinaloa Drug Cartel.

President Nieto’s tweet confirming the completion of the search for Mr. Guzman and his confinement to detention is face saving for the president as he was held responsible for Mr. Guzman’s second escape from one of the most secure prisons in the country by means of an underground tunnel a mile long, which was constructed by members of his cartel from outside the prison to his cell.

NIGERIA: AS BILLIONAIRES DANGOTE, DANJUMA CONTROL NORTHEAST REHAB (WHAT DO YOU THINK?)

HEAD OF NORTHEAST REHAB C'TTEE DANJUMA

Two highly government-favored Nigerians, Theophilus Danjuma and Aliko Dangote have been selected by President Muhammadu Buhari to lead the northeast rehabilitation committee. Danjuma's SAPETRO was awarded (OPL) 246 in 1998, paving the way for his billions, and Dangote was favored by the Nigerian Obasanjo government since as far back as the 70s! According to Wikileaks Cable: 05LAGOS362 a, 8:

"...the Government has been very supportive of Dangote. We know the company at one time or another held exclusive import rights in sugar, cement, and rice using such advantages to do volume business and undercut competitors. In a December 1996 interview, Aliko Dangote admitted that a government mandate once forced him to import so much rice that the local market crashed by almost 80 percent. [2] The direction of GON trade barriers also suggests preferential treatment. High tariffs or outright bans on imported items favor the Group in nearly all areas in which they do business including wheat flour, cement, certain textiles, sugar and pasta."
