Gazprom could increase its power over European supplies

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.

Russian/Nigerian consultants fail on name selection. :D

This smells of double standards to me.  Where is the outrage over naming a country "Nigeria"?
