[b]"The ex vice president of Nigeria took a bribe through a planned fertilizer factory in Bayelsa State. The ex minster of finance (Aganga) did that same, and was a sloppy drunk who would agree to anything as long as he was shit faced in London. He was eventually relegated to minister of labor or infrastructure or some made up position. Frank Nweke (the ex minster of propoganda) hosted all internal meetings in his apartment in Mayfair and Obsanjo was tangentially involved.
5 companies were bidding on the project (including Uhde and Saipem) and were all told they would get the gas alocation from Dr Ike of the parastatal (equal to the entire natural gas production of Nigeria + ~5 - 10% planned expansion) if they greased the wheel. All paid just prior to the election that relied on very dirty money to pay the military to keep the north in check to ensure a PDP victory which ended up in a very dirty war. Probably around 2000 people died - many were necklaced by tires.
We all thought we could make fertilizer for Nigeria which would supply 25% of Africa's needs."[/b]

interesting, won't surprise me a bit, if this is true!

Nigeria is such a weird country. Corruption is truly endemic.
