#2 Something like this has been in the cards for awhile, and it will not be pretty when Nigeria goes the way of Zaire.

#3 Not sure who's inciting, but a spectacularly corrupt Nigerian govt has given them fertile ground to work with. Not sure if the oil cos have been merely tolerating or actively encouraging that - could be an element of sowing and reaping there. Not too ideal to have Nigeria, Venezuela and Iraq offline or unreliable at the same time...

#4 If we can unload humanitarian supplies, how long can it be before we can load Iraqi oil?

#6 Ojukwu, of Biafra War fame, is running for office in Nigeria, on a "Biafra idea" platform. Others favor a "South-South" solution. The common link is detachment from the Islamic social idiocy in the Northern sharia states. Southerners are asking why they should share oil wealth with Muslim parasites who subverted Nigeria's constitution in order to live under sharia perversity.

#7 There's another Islamic/Christian/amimist "civil war" in Nigeria, as the Islamic north tries to force its religion on the rest of the country. I wouldn't doubt some of the unrest can be traced directly back to Hussein and the Saudis. Civil unrest in Africa, mostly either prompted or encouraged from outside, has the potential of igniting the entire continent, to no one's benefit.

#8 Biafra. There's a name from the past. And it doesn't conjure up happy memories.

#9 "Or are they too busy running internet scams? I got another letter today."

I've got my junkmail filter fine-tuned so most of that's cut out. Now I get mostly offers to grow my doinker another three inches and to sell me Viagra.

What I want to know is, who told?

#10 Mrs Abacha still wants you to accept 40 percent of her 30 millions?
