Knowing that West Africa is the potential source of Europe's non-Russian hydrocarbons, are the Russians trying to grab as much of it as possible if only to deny Europe easy access. ...hasn't anyone else heard anyone mispronounce the name of the country of "Niger" before? It can be quite embarrassing, remember the G is silent. “What on earth does Russia want with West Africa?” was my first reaction to this.

Investing in state sponsored joint ventures with Nigeria has meant huge sums of money ending up in someone else's freezer. At least we got to hear about the cronyism and corruption involving the former US Vice President that used to run Halliburton. Siemens of Germany and others are examples of the scams, but this Gazprom Nigaz business will probably take the biscuit. “Let the jokes begin…”
