Speak Up For Democracy At Greenlightnigeria.org by TimC: 10:45pm On Apr 20, 2007
You can get your instant reaction to the weekend's events to Greenlightnigeria.org, and - if you have a microphone - we can post it instantly, via <a href="http://www.greenlightnigeria.org/#evoca">Evoca</a>.

This morning world oil prices <a href="http://www.forbes.com/afxnewslimited/feeds/afx/2007/04/20/afx3634119.html">rose 46 cents to to $66.40 a barrel </a>on concerns that elections may be disrupted by violence.

This evening <a href="http://africa.reuters.com/wire/news/usnL2011335.html">a militant attack rocked government house</a> in Bayelsa State. Outgoing Governor Goodluck Jonathan Goodluck is standing tomorrow as Vice President. <a href="http://africa.reuters.com/top/news/usnBAN057687.html">All across Nigeria</a>, opposition groups accused the authorities of abuses ahead of tomorrow's elections, and the Supreme Court deepened confusion by allowing estranged VP Atiku Abubakar to run.

Monitors are spreading out and will be reporting in through Greenlightnigeria in the next few days. Based on last weekend's experiences, getting reports back in was pretty quick. However, we are preparing for a lot more trouble (the attack on government house in Bayelsa is, obviously, not a good sign) so it may not be as quick, it may be faster, it will be interesting to see.
