1. Hmmm
Any bets we were involved in some way?
If it's oil-related, I'm sure this cabal has it's dirty nub in it.

8. No; Adebayo Adeferati; was already in hospital
The Alliance for Democracy's Adebayo Adeferati - seen as an outside - was 79 years old and a former state governor.

According to Nigeria's electoral act, elections are to be delayed "until a convenient date" if a candidate dies after nomination papers are delivered.

However, a spokesman for the election commission is being quoted as saying the polls will go ahead as scheduled.
...
Mr Adeferati had been receiving treatment in hospital in Ondo State in south-west Nigeria.

4. Time to buy about 500 gallons of gas and store it.
Wonder how long it can sit and still be good?
