Russia's energy giant Gazprom has signed a $2.5bn (£1.53bn) deal with Nigeria's state operated NNPC, to invest in a new joint venture.

The new firm, to be called Nigaz, is set to build refineries, pipelines and gas power stations in Nigeria.

I work in an energy-sector consultancy.  You should see everyone studiously pretending that they don't see anything unusual about the name while stressing the first syllable and carefully pronouncing it "Nye-gaz".

Personally, I think it shows that these guys at least have attitude  :awesome_for_real:

The Russians are in for a shock when they get an email in a few days saying that their shares are in a bank in Lagos but that they need to send an administration charge of 2000 dollars to release them.

Just realised the article is about the possibility of Nigaz taking over Europe.
