REVEALED: How President Jonathan Is A Part Of Oduah’s N255 Million Car Scandal

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has lambasted President Goodluck Jonathan over his handling of the N255 million car purchase scandal involving the minister of aviation, Stella Oduah.
The party said Mr Jonathan may become an accessory to corruption if he continues to shield the minister. The party’s spokesperson, Lai Mohammed, said the APC reached that conclusion after reviewing the evidence that have come out on the scandal and the actions so far taken by the president.
The party said the president’s decision to allow Mrs Oduah travel with him to Israel, while she faced investigations for ordering the purchase of two armoured cars at an inflated cost, was the clearest indication Mr Jonathan was never serious about fighting corruption.
The purchase was made by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, at the directive of Mrs Oduah, a House of Representatives investigation, confirmed Thursday. The purchase neither listed in the budget nor did it follow due process.

Mrs Oduah travelled with the president to Israel on pilgrimage last week, despite the House probe, and another investigation by a panel named by the president himself.
The presidential panel was “diversionary”, and Mr Jonathan’s plan hope is for a more severe event to overshadow the Oduah scandal, APC said, vowing not to allow the matter be swept under the carpet.
”No one believes the dummy that is being sold to the public, that the minister was denied access to the President in Israel,” the APC said in a statement Sunday.

“The egregious act of putting the minister on his entourage, at a time she is at the centre of a terrible scandal, calls to question the president’s sense of propriety and his commitment to the war against corruption.”
”This indecorous action of making a minister who is under investigation for monumental corruption and abuse of office one of the faces of Nigeria in a foreign land is an embarrassment to the country and its people, and a further dent on the poor image of the Jonathan Administration.”
The party “whole-heartedly” condemned Mr Jonathan’s handling of the scandal, and the particular decision to allow the minister on his entourage to Israel.
“We now understand why corruption has grown wings under the Jonathan Presidency, and why the Administration may well go down as the most corrupt in the country’s history,” APC said in a the statement signed by spokesperson, Lai Mohammed.
Mr Jonathan queried the embattled minister and she has since responded to the query, claiming to have adhered to law in the conducting the transaction.
The APC said the case was “straightforward” and should have summarily dealt with by the president.
“Instead, he has engaged himself in a rigmarole by setting up a diversionary administrative panel in what is now looking like an orchestrated ploy to buy time, hoping this issue will die down and the Minister will escape being sanctioned,” the party said.
”Unfortunately for Mr. President, Oduahgate is not just another scandal, but a referendum on his Administration’s fight against corruption, and on the legacy he intends to leave in this critical area.”
The opposition party also accused the Mr Jonathan of thumbing his nose at Nigerians, who expressed outrage at the action of the Minister, by approving for her to travel to Israel as part of his entourage.
APC said through his body language, the president was sending a signal to his ministers that it was right to be corrupt, wondering whether he was aware of the joke making the rounds that there were currently five Super Ministers in his cabinet whom he could neither sanction nor remove, irrespective of their actions, because they were the ones ferreting funds into his war chest for 2015.
“In other words, any of his ministers whom he perceives as key to his re-election can even loot Aso Rock and get away with it,” the party stressed.
”We do not know whether this is true or not, but we do know there is no smoke without fire, and that the seeming attempt to sweep Oduahgate under the carpet lends some credence to the joke.”
APC noted that because of the president’s waffling in dealing with what is a straightforward case of corruption, misguided people had now resorted to crowd hiring to protest against the growing calls for the minister to be sanctioned over the scandal – a very sad case since those being hired for such disgusting protests were the real victims of the mindless corruption that has permeated the land.
”These sponsored protests are just the beginning. Next, they will either engineer or hope that a spectacular violent attack, a la Boko Haram, will occur to take attention away from the scandal. They may also charge some out-of-luck folks to court over the scandal and then say they cannot act on the issue anymore because it is subjudice,” it said.
APC said, however, that the party as well as other concerned groups and citizens were closely following the developments on Oduahgate, and would not allow it to be swept under the carpet, “in the interest of the millions of Nigerians who have been consigned into the lowest rung of existence by a rapacious administration.”

7 Types of Guys That Wont Commit

Ladies watch-out most women look for the type of men that won’t find it a herculean task to stay committed, however it seems to be getting harder these days to bag men like that. And what’s more is that it seems we won’t stop meeting these men. 7 Types of Guys That Wont Commit see more after the cut.

1. The one who is in love with himself: if he talks about himself and his lifetime goals alone, dedicates time to work on his image and build himself superficially then he’s not going to have time to commit to you. Reason being that he can’t be committed to two people, he’s already committed to himself.

2. Financially unstable: nobody is saying just look out for the rich guy but if this guy isn’t exactly sure where he wants his career to be in five years or how to get a good job(if he doesn’t have one) then there’s no point trying to decide if he’ll commit.

3. He’s broke: he might not be like the guy listed above, he’s hardworking, dedicated and resilient but he isn’t where he wants to be yet. This won’t make him commit to you. Men love to take care of their women, they don’t want to sit back every time and watch you pick the bills and buy the stuff every time. So if he’s broke and he feels like he’s not where he should be yet, he won’t be ready to commit.

4. Childish man: men never truly grow up. Women do more of growing up, argue it all you want but it is the truth. However some men are just ridiculously childish. They act like toddlers when they should be grown up. They only grow older they don’t grow up. If he’s like this, then forget getting committed with him

5. Always horny: if he’s always wanting to get down and always talking about your body half of the time and if he uses the remaining half to discuss the next s*x position y’all should try out, hey hey hey, watch it babes. Watch it.

6. A Workaholic: a man who’s hundred percent dedicated to his job and sees no reason to settle down yet can’t commit to you. Forget the fact that he should be fulfilled and be looking to finding a Mrs If he acts committed now, he’s going to get tired and stop being committed later.

7. A Mummy Boy: A man who takes permission from is mother, is not to be called a man but a boy. been a man means you are up for responsible and not pampering. 

Here are a few ways to spot men like this, so you can keep them very far away and never get involved with them. If you are looking for a committed relationship that is.

Photo of woman giving birth shocks country

AP Irma Lopez gives birth on a lawn.

An indigenous woman squats in pain after giving birth, her newborn still bound by the umbilical cord and lying on the ground. It's a photograph that horrified Mexicans because of where it took place: the lawn outside a medical clinic where the woman had been denied help, and it struck a nerve in a country where inequity is still pervasive.

The government of the southern state of Oaxaca announced Wednesday that it has suspended the health center's director, Dr. Adrian Cruz, while officials conduct state and federal investigations into the Oct. 2 incident.
The mother, Irma Lopez, 29, told The Associated Press that she and her husband were turned away from the health center by a nurse who said she was only eight months pregnant and "still not ready" to deliver.
The nurse told her to go outside and walk, and said a doctor could check her in the morning, Lopez said. But an hour and a half later, her water broke, and Lopez gave birth to a son, her third child, while grabbing the wall of a house next to the clinic.
"I didn't want to deliver like this. It was so ugly and with so much pain," she said, adding she was alone for the birth because her husband was trying to persuade the nurse to call for help.
A witness took the photo and gave it to a news reporter. It ran in several national newspapers, including the full front page of a tabloid, and was widely circulated on the Internet.

The case illustrated the shortcomings of maternal care in Mexico, where hundreds of women still die during or right after pregnancy. It also pointed to the persistent discrimination against Mexico's indigenous people.
"The photo is giving visibility to a wider structural problem that occurs within indigenous communities: Women are not receiving proper care. They are not being offered quality health services, not even a humane treatment," said Mayra Morales, Oaxaca's representative for the national Network for Sexual and Reproductive Rights.
The federal Health Department said this week that it has sent staff to investigate what happened at the Rural Health Center of the village of San Felipe Jalapa de Diaz. The National Human Rights Commission also began an investigation after seeing news reports.
Lopez, who is of Mazatec ethnicity, said she and her husband walked an hour to the clinic from the family's one-bedroom hut in the mountains of northern Oaxaca. It would have taken them longer to get to the nearest highway to catch a ride to a hospital. She said that from the births of her two previous children, she knew she didn't have time for that.
Nearly one in five women in the state of Oaxaca gave birth in a place that is not a hospital or a clinic in 2011, according to Mexico's census. Health officials have urged women to go to clinics to deliver their babies, but many women say the operating hours of the rural centers are limited and staffs small. A receptionist at the Rural Health Center told the AP that the doctor in charge was not available to comment about the case.

Although some have praised Mexico for improving its maternal health care, the mortality rate still stands at about 50 deaths per 100,000 births, according to the World Health Organization, similar to Libya, Barbados and Kazakhstan. The U.S. rate is 16 per 100,000.
Oaxaca is one of Mexico's poorest, most rural states and many women have died of hemorrhaging or preeclampsia, a condition causing high blood pressure and possible kidney or liver failure. The Mexican states with the highest indigenous population have the highest rates of maternal deaths, by a wide margin.
Lopez was taken in by the clinic after giving birth and discharged the same day with prescriptions for medications and products that cost her about $30, she said. Health officials say she and her baby were in good health.
She said that poverty-stricken villagers are used to being forgotten by Mexico's health care system and left to fend off for themselves.
"I am naming him Salvador," said Lopez, a name that means "Savior" in English. "He really saved himself."

Na Wah! Man Locks Up Girlfriend's Pants With Padlock To Prevent Her From Cheating

A 40 years old man was arrested for locking up his girlfriend's pants using a chastity belt for years just so that she won't cheat on him!

According to CNN, the man's abused, unidentified 25-year-old Mexican girlfriend recently had to tell cops about the abuse after she was left unable to go to the bathroom for several hours because she couldn’t unlatch the padlock on her jeans.

The agonizing pain prompted the woman — who lives in Zacatlame, a poverty-stricken community in the Mexican Gulf state of Veracruz — to go to the police.

She said she was too afraid of her 40-year-old boyfriend to grab a pair of scissors and cut the belt loop to which the lock was attached.

Wicked Tenant Abdutcs Landlord's Daughter, Impregnates Her

The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended a 37-year-old man, Ajibola Idowu, for kidnapping the daughter of his landlord and kept her captive for three years. He was also said to have forcefully impregnated the victim, Modupe Brown, during her captivity.

After Ajibola impregnated Modupe and she gave birth, he refused to allow her take the child for immunisation so that people will not see her hence she won't escape from him.

As a result, the child was said to have contracted polio disease and subsequently became crippled.

Lagos Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Damasus Ozoani, told Punch that Ajibola was arrested along with his mother, Ebun, who allegedly conspired with him to commit the act.

He said, “Brown, a 400L student of Business Administration at the Lagos State University, was kidnapped by Ajibola who kept her in captivity with his family for three years between 2010 and 2013.

“On September 19, 2013, policemen from Area E Command, went to the Sagamu area of Ogun State to rescue the victim and also arrested the mother of the abductor, who watched over the victim. Ajibola was later arrested in the Idumota area of Lagos Island.

“During the three years, Ajibola kept Brown in three locations -Oshogbo, Osun State, where she spent six months; Bariga, Lagos, where she spent six months; and Sagamu, Ogun State, where she spent about two years.

“Ajibola forcefully impregnated Brown while in captivity. She delivered a baby girl, who later became deformed as a result of Ajibola’s refusal to have the baby immunised against the Polio virus.”

While speaking with Punch, Brown described her ordeal in the hands of her abductor as a journey through the valley of the shadow of death. She said she was abducted at her father’s house in the Ebute Meta area of Lagos State.

She said, “I can’t even remember how he kidnapped me. All I know is that he held me captive for three years. It’s as if I was under a spell. Even when I was going to give birth, he did not allow me to go to a hospital. The baby was delivered at home and he was the one giving me medication.

“Even one day, when state officials came to the area to immunise children, he said he would not allow the child to be immunised, saying the drugs had been poisoned. Once, when I tried to leave, he threatened to kill me.”

During her time in captivity, Brown's parents, who are retired civil servants, searched hospitals, mortuaries, police stations and churches for her all to no avail.

The victim’s father, Idowu Brown, said he had no clue that Ajibola was the abductor. He said, “I never knew it was Ajibola that kidnapped my daughter. He was my tenant for six years and greeted me every day. We even used to share jokes. He was aware that I had been looking for my daughter for three years but he never said anything.

“When we could not find her, I reported the matter at FESTAC Police Division. It was in September this year that we heard from our daughter for the first time. She told us that she was in Sagamu and my wife went there. There we met Ajibola’s mother. That was how we found out that he (tenant) was the one behind the whole thing.”

The suspects however denied abducting the landlord’s daughter. Ajibola’s mother claimed Brown and her son were lovers, who decided to elope, maintaining that the case was not an abduction.

In his defence, Ajibola, who is into satellite dish installation, said the plan to elope was hatched by Brown who paid N200, 000 into his bank account. The money was said to have been meant for her school project.

He said he could not understand why she would make such allegations against him. “I did not kidnap her; we were lovers and decided to elope. Even when she was at my house, she used to make calls to her relatives telling them that she was alright,” he claimed.

JTF, DSS Discover High Calibre Bomb Factory in Kano

The Joint Security Task Force (JTF) said that it discovered a high calibre bomb factory at Gunduwawa village in Gezawa Local Government Area of the state.

The Commander, 3 Brigade of the Nigeria Army, Kano, Brig.-Gen. Iliyasu Abba, made the disclosure when he briefed newsmen in Kano on Wednesday.

Abba said the discovery was made on Tuesday around 2 a.m., during an operation by a combined team of the JTF troops and the Department of State Services (DSS) operatives.

``At about 2 am on October 8, a combined team of the JTF troops and Department of State Services raided two Boko Haram terrorists’ hideouts at Gunduwawa village in Gezawa Local Government Area.

``The raid, which was conducted following a lead on intelligence reports, made no arrests as the terrorists fled the village on the approach of the JTF troops and DSS personnel,’’ he said.

He, however, said one person who was believed to be the son of the owner of the house was killed during the operation.

According to him, the deceased is said to have rented the house to the fleeing terrorists.

He said the team was also able to recover weapons, working tools and materials used for making improvised explosive devices (EIDs).

He added that they recovered one assault rifle, two AK58 rifle magazines with 193 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, and one AK 47 rifle magazine with 107 rounds of 7.62mm (special) ammunition and bows and arrows.
Others are: three primed cylinders of IEDs, one primed explosive suicide back pack, 18 empty IED cylinders, 24 detonators, and small bag of fertiliser and IED timers.

The rest are: cortex wires and three remote control devices, five Motorola hand held radios, four communicators, six alarm clocks, two cartons of 9-volt batteries, a scale, one external hard drive and one heavy duty charger/battery.

``These weapons, ammunitions and other dangerous materials were meant to wreak havoc on Kano during the Eid-el-Kabir and other festivities before the end of the year.’’

He urged members of the public to continue to cooperate with the JTF operatives in its effort to curb the activities of terrorists in the state.

Stampede As Two Teenage Students Launch Home-Made Rocket In Imo State

inShare

Two students of the Federal Government College, Okigwe, Imo State have caused a stir in Umuchime Ubahu community in Okigwe LGA, with the launch of a rocket they built from local materials.

The rocket, which was supposed to travel five kilometres, went further than programmed and landed in a residential area, causing a stampede.The residents of the house where the rocket landed, alerted the police, thinking it was a bomb.

Commissioner of Police Muhammad Musa Katsina, however, dispelled fears of terrorism, saying the “amateur scientists”, who launched the home-made rocket, did not intend any harm.

The police boss, who briefed reporters yesterday, said there was a bomb scare in the community when the two science students launched their rocket. He said police investigation showed that there was no criminal intent, adding that it was a case of innovation and adventure.

“There was no terrorism motive in the act. We enjoin people to go about their activities without fear”, Katsina said.

He went on:

The manufacturers of this rocket are not terrorists; they are rather talented science pupils keen on developing their scientific skills. They should be encouraged. The rocket has been deactivated and is safe. The components as discovered by the Police Bomb Disposal Unit do not contain any radioactive or toxic element.

Because the boys intended no harm, no punitive measures will be taken. I will rather recommend that they be encouraged so that they can achieve greater things.

The teenage scientists asked for Federal Government’s sponsorship to enable them improve on their skills. They said they built the rocket as part of a school exercise, which earned them a second position in a competition.

They said they were inspired to launch the rocket when they heard of the National Space Development Agency’s plan to launch a climate-monitoring satellite into space next year.

8 Amazing Things You Need To Know About Breasts

inShare

Check out this list of eight facts about breasts — some amazing, others simply interesting, but all of which can give us a better understanding of these twin peaks.
Anything fascinating about breasts we overlooked? Let us know in the comments section below.
1. We’re the only primates with “permanent” ones.
No other primate has a permanent breast. In non-human primates (and other mammal species) a full breast is a clear indication the female is suckling young. Not so in humans.
2. The largest natural breasts are a 102ZZZ.
The Guinness World Record holder for the largest natural breasts is Annie Hawkins-Turner. Her chest measures 70 inches over the chests and around her back. That amounts to 3.5 feet of cleavage (with each side weighing in at 56 pounds), and a bra size of 102ZZZ.
3. Breast orgasms exist.
Women orgasming through chest stimulation is an actual thing, and there’s science to back it. In one study of 213 women, 29 percent said they had experienced a “breast orgasm” at one point or another.
4.They make the perfect food.
When describing the benefits of breast milk and colostrum (the sticky, yellowish substance produced at the end of pregnancy and the first days of a baby’s life) the World Health Organization doesn’t mince words, calling it the “perfect food” for babies. Breast milk contains antibodies that help babies fight infections and diseases and is easy for them to digest. Its made by cells in the breast called “alveoli,” which produce milk in response to the hormone prolactin. It’s released when babies suckle.
5. When it comes to milk, size doesn’t matter.
For breastfeeding purposes, it simply doesn’t matter whether a woman is an A cup or a D. Larger breasts have a higher proportion of fatty tissue, compared to glandular tissue, but this has no effect on the amount of milk you’re able to produce.
Though women with smaller breasts sometimes worry they’ll be unable to nurse their babies, it’s actually women with larger breasts who sometimes have greater difficulties, because of positioning issues, she says.
6. They fluctuate month-to-month (and even minute-to-minute).
Unhappy with your breast size? Give it a minute. That may be overstating things, but not by much. Many women experience breast growth — as much as a full cup size — during PMS, because the body has higher levels of the hormones progesterone and prolactin during that premenstrual phase, which can cause swelling. Breast growth is also one of the hallmarks of pregnancy, and some sex experts, claim that breasts can swell by up to 25 percent during moments of intense sexual arousal.
7.The left tends to be larger.
It’s perfectly normal for women to have one breast that’s larger than the other. And for around 65 percent of women, it’s the left one. No one knows why the left side tends to be bigger, although theories abound: One suggests that immune hypersensitivity, which is higher on the left side of the body, has an impact on hormones that help determine breast size and shape; another that women tend to prefer to nurse on their left side (leaving their right hand free) which results in that side producing more milk.
8. There are four chest types.
If you thought there was only one type of chest, you thought wrong. There are several common variations: “Normal” chests stick out a few millimeters from the areola, and then even further when they’re aroused or cold; “flat” chests only protrude when they’re stimulated or when temperatures change; “puffy” chests have a raised areola; and “inverted” chests (which come in grades) are essentially turned inward. The latter type isn’t necessarily problematic as long as it’s always been that way, but if the chest has only recently turned inward it should be checked by a doctor.

Nigerian Disfigured With Acid, Naomi Oni has eyebrows restored

When you think all hope is lost, life still put smiles on your face. This is true for 21 year old acid victim Naomi Oni, who was disfigured for life when an unknown person wearing a niqab threw acid in her face as she walked home from work on Sunday December 30th 2012 in Lodge Avenue Dagenham, east London, has had her eyebrows restored after it was burnt off in the horrific attack. (Above pics: Naomi before the attack, after the attack and now)


The acid burned off the skin on her face and scalp and left her temporarily blinded. She lost her eyelids, eyebrows and some of her hair in the assault. Fortunately doctors have been able to rebuild her  features, including taking skin from the back of her ear to make new eyelids for her and now new eyebrows.
             

World’s Largest Tortoise found in Amazon Basin – 529 Years Old

The World’s largest tortoise found in Amazon River is around 529 years old / height-59 feet/ weight-800 pounds OR 362.87 kg incredible.
The red rimmed tortoise is also called the red-foot or red-legged tortoise, the Brazilian giant tortoise, or South American forest tortoise.

These types of large size tortoise are always found in the Amazon River, most of them are found in (Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and so on) the Adults often reach 3m in length, however this one is much larger. The tortoise Females have wide flattened shells, are larger and more numerous than the males tortoise, the Adult tortoise Arraus feed entirely on plant food.
Their main diet is a plant that is native to the Chtac Province region of Brazil. These flowers of this plant have a gene in them which promotes increased cellular life thus allowing those that consumed them to have a greater lifespan. Amongst the native inhabitants are turtle’s that grew constantly in their lifespan until the day they died. The introduction of this flower into their diet thus allowed them to grow to immense sizes and they served as local guardians to the plant.

It was first discovered by the modern world in 1892 by Haughton who was the last person to had seen it in the century.
The nesting habits of this species are similar to those of sea turtles. Just like sea turtles they gather meet in huge numbers so they can travel to suitable nesting areas. The female tortoise lay their eggs on sandbanks that are exposed where there is only dry season but there are relatively few such sites.

The females timing is to come out on the sandbanks at night time to lay their eggs and go back to the sea, which can number anywhere from 90 to 100 soft-shelled eggs. and they then return to their feeding grounds which they belong to.
The young when hatched are around 5 cm long darts directly for the water, but they emerge to the attentions of many predators so they can only about five percent ever reach the adult feeding grounds. This it is an endangered species and is protected in some country and areas

Girl Orders Boyfriend To Kneel In The Street & Slaps Him For Cheating

inShareYou know if such were to happen here in Nigeria, many would assume that the guy has eaten the “vegetable” – a slang for man that has been hypnotized by his woman.

Seriously, which naija guy would allow his woman humiliate him in public like that?
A Chinese woman has been arrested after forcing her boyfriend to kneel in the street and repeatedly slapping him around the face.
The assault happened last Friday in the Kowloon City area of Hong Kong, after Chui, the boyfriend, took a girl to his flat despite the fact he was going out with Cheng, the slapper.
Cheng got to find out and made her boyfriend kneel on the pavement in full view of passers-by.

When he insisted he had not asked the girl to come to his flat, saying: ‘Listen to me first before beating me’, Cheng started slapping Chui across the face as he screamed, ‘You’re slandering me!’, and urged the other girl to corroborate his story.


A crowd of onlookers gathered and started filming the scene, which has since been posted on YouTube.
As other bystanders started to intervene in the love quarrel, Cheng shouted, ‘None of your business!’
Most witnesses took Chui’s side, with one woman telling him: ‘Stand up, ditch this ugly girl, you deserve better.’
One passer-by called the police, leading to Cheng’s arrest.
The 20-year-old woman, named Cheng, was later arrested on suspicion of common assault, while the victim, 23-year-old Chui, was taken to hospital.

Bank Error Makes A US Man The World First Ever Trillionaire

inShare

Most people on finding out that they’ve become rich beyond their wildest dreams would immediately splash out on a selfish purchase – a yacht, a mansion, maybe even a private island.
But when Reggie Theus discovered he had become a trillionaire thanks to a bank error, he decided to make life easy for his fellow Americans, and offered to pay of the national debt.
Sadly for the country, the bank realised its mistake, and soon took away the East Texan’s $4,000,000,000,000 – dashing the States’ hope of an easy fix for their financial crisis.
Mr Theus, a restaurant manager, didn’t throw caution to the wind and quit his job, thankfully – he still turned up and was busy waiting on tables and co-ordinating his staff.
He told KLTV: ‘I was definitely surprised when I looked in my account and saw that much money in there.
‘I looked it up and there’s never been a trillionaire before.’
The bank, which asked their customer not to identify them, had made the error during an online banking update.
Mr Theus’ offer could not have come at a better time for the warring government, which has shutdown while Republicans and Democrats argue over raising the debt-ceiling.

Federal Reserve to Unveil a Redesigned $100 Bill

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve will begin circulating a new $100 bill on Tuesday with some modern and colorful anti-counterfeiting features, after overcoming problems that postponed its debut for more than two and a half years.

The new type of $100 note, the most counterfeited currency outside America, arrives Tuesday.

The Federal Reserve will begin circulating a new $100 bill on Tuesday with some modern and colorful anti-counterfeiting features.

In addition to traditional safeguards like a paper blend that would be difficult to duplicate, the redesigned note will have two new features: a three-dimensional blue strip with images that appear to move when the note is tilted, and an image of a copper inkwell containing a holographic bell whose color changes when tilted.

The note is the last United States currency denomination to undergo the “New Color of Money” face-lift that started with the $20 note in 2003, introducing subtle hues and other security features to paper currency as part of efforts to stay ahead of counterfeiters.

“It only takes a few seconds for people — if they know what they’re looking for — to know what they’re looking at is genuine,” said Michael J. Lambert, associate director of the Federal Reserve.

The $100 bill is an especially hot item on the global stage: The Federal Reserve estimates that one-half to two-thirds of $100 notes in circulation are abroad at any given time, making them one of the nation’s largest exports.

As a result, the $100 bill is the most commonly counterfeited note outside the United States. Mr. Lambert said officials at the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and the Secret Service had devoted extra time to redesigning it and spreading the word — including on newmoney.gov, which is available in 23 languages — with that in mind.

The note took more than a decade to develop. It was originally scheduled for release in February 2011, but about four months before its debut the Federal Reserve said that an unanticipated printing problem had caused some notes to be creased and thus unfit for circulation. Investigating and resolving the issue meant there would not have been enough bills ready by February. Another printing problem caused ink to smear.

The inspector general’s office at the Treasury Department released a report in 2012 attributing the delay to “a production failure that potentially could have been avoided and has already resulted in increased costs.”

Experts say the efforts appear to have paid off.

“I would say it’s absolutely worthwhile to do whatever it takes to make sure that we have the best currency that we can,” said Benjamin Mazzotta of Tufts University, an expert on the cost of currency.

“That’s something that’s not going to be able to be reproduced on a photocopy machine, that’s for sure, or even on the computer,” said Dennis Forgue, a currency expert in Chicago.

But the transition may not be seamless everywhere. When the United States issued a new $100 note in 1996, for instance, Russians — accustomed to a system in which old currency becomes worthless — worried that there would not be enough bills to meet demand. While older United States currency retains its value, Mr. Forgue said that overseas, especially in Eastern European countries, people may demand the newest bills as the only acceptable form of payment.

“They’re afraid of getting stuck with something that’s not good because they’ve gone through so many changes like that,” he said.

Mr. Lambert said the Federal Reserve was prepared.

“We stand ready to get them the notes that they need, and obviously our goal and our objective is to meet the demand,” he said. “Whether that’s international or domestic, it doesn’t matter.”
