Amazon.com must pay Toys "R" Us $51 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the toy retailer in May 2004.

Back then, Toys "R" Us sued Amazon for violating the terms of the 10-year partnership the companies forged in 2000. Toys "R" Us claimed Amazon violated the agreement by allowing other vendors to market toys and baby products on its site.

On Friday, Amazon said in a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the money must be paid in the third quarter of 2009 and that the sum was "unanticipated."

The Web's largest retailer said that Toys "R" Us has agreed to dismiss all claims and counterclaims.

Not long after Toys "R" Us filed its original claim, Amazon filed a counterclaim as well as an official request to terminate the partnership.

The retailer asked for $750 million in damages and claimed the toy retailer failed to meet its end of their bargain. Toys "R" Us, according to Amazon, was unable to meet demand for top-selling toys, games, and baby products, especially during the holidays.

In 2006, the court entered a decision favoring Toys "R" Us that terminated the contract.

The two companies joined forces during the dot-com era, after Toys "R" Us stumbled badly trying to build an online franchise. The toy giant turned to Amazon, agreeing to pay the retailer a $200 million premium for exclusive rights to sell toys and baby items through its site.

A spokeswoman for Toys "R" Us declined to comment.

Imran Khan, a J.P. Morgan analyst, lowered his second quarter forecast for Amazon but said "We do not see the settlement as representing anything other than a one-time item," Khan wrote in a note sent Friday afternoon. "We believe Amazon's continued market share gains justify the stock's premium valuation."

Video game industry sales in the U.S. dropped 23 percent to $863 million in May compared with $1.12 billion a year ago, according to a new report.

This marked the first time since August 2007 that monthly sales dipped below $1 billion, NPD Group said Thursday in its report.

The drop was felt across the board as gamers coughed up less cash for hardware, software, and accessories. Sales for hardware fell 30 percent year over year to $302.5 million. Software revenue was down 17 percent to $449 million, while sales of gaming accessories tumbled 25 percent to $112 million.

"The video games industry continues to struggle with difficult comparisons to last year," NPD analyst Anita Frazier said in a statement.

NPD blamed most of the decline on the lack of blockbuster games rather than the weak economy. The report noted that last year's sales were boosted by the launch of popular software titles such as Grand Theft Auto IV. Nintendo's Wii Fit also was a hot commodity in 2008.

"While there were some very strong new releases this month," Frazier said, "this month's top 10 games sold 2.6 million units combined, whereas last year the top 10 sold 3.7 million units. Again this illustrates how tough the comparisons are to last year."

Nintendo's Wii was the best-selling system in May at 289,500 units, though sales plummeted from last year. Microsoft's Xbox 360 found 175,000 new customers, a gain of 22 percent from a year ago. Sony brought up the rear, selling only 131,000 PlayStation 3 and 117,000 PlayStation 2 consoles.

Despite the sluggish sales, NPD has a positive outlook for the rest of the summer.

"Looking ahead to June, there are some promising games coming out this month between Sims 3 (PC), Prototype, Red Faction, Virtual Tennis, Ghostbusters, Transformers and Tiger Woods just to name a few," noted Frazier. "June comparisons are still likely to be tough, but the wide variety of new content could help reinvigorate things somewhat."

The May report followed NPD's analysis for April, which showed that video game sales had dipped 17 percent year over year.

Port Harcourt — Militants on Tuesday night reportedly blew up a flow station in Otunana, Delta State that belongs to Chevron, in what appears as part of the battle of propaganda and misinformation waged against federal might.

Fire indeed broke out on a platform which produced 10,000 barrels of oil per day, but Joint Task Fore (JTF) Spokesman, Rabe Abubakar, rubbished the claim by the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) that it destroyed the facility.

"Against claims by some groups that the fire was caused by an act of sabotage by militants and their affiliated group, the MEND, it was rather caused by system failure of a platform in the flow station," he insisted.

Abubakar said the JTF is on red alert at all major government facilities in the Niger Delta, and no amount of intimidation and propaganda by insurgents would deter troops.

"If any militant group and their collaborators want a show of force, we are ready, if they want to test their strength, they are welcomed; as we do not engage in media war and cheap popularity. Therefore, this claim and all other claims by any militant group should be disregarded in its entirety."

He urged militants to stop creating tension and embrace the olive branch extended to them by Abuja, for their own good and for the good of the region and the nation.

He assured the general public and oil companies that the JTF would protect them, no matter where the distractions and intimidation come from.

A source in Chevron confirmed that the platform had been out of use for the past six months, and that the incident on Tuesday was an internal fire outbreak, not a sabotage by militants.

"People are only apprehensive because of the earlier threat by the militants to attack oil facilities. It is just a fire incident in one of the separators that has been out of use for some time now. It will take up to three days to determine the cause of the incident," he said.

Chevron General Manager (Policy, Government and Public Affairs), Femi Odumagbo, also confirmed that there was a fire outbreak at the Otunana production facility on Tuesday, but "our workforce is safe, relevant stakeholders have been informed, and we are continuing to assess the situation and work to restore the integrity of the facility which had been shut down before the incident."

Nonetheless, MEND Spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, mocked the security forces for giving a false sense of security to oil companies.

He said: "As forewarned, a major 'Cordon and Search' operation by the MEND commenced on June 9 at about 2200 Hrs with devastating effects on the heavily fortified Chevron Otunana flow station in Delta State which is currently engulfed in fire after being overwhelmed by our fighters."

Abubakar described Gbomo and his band as criminals who act and behave like illiterates, for saying on Wednesday that they would declare JTF Commander, Lt. General S.Y. Bello wanted, and would flog Abubakar's bare buttocks when they catch him.

He said the MEND is an outlaw chased out of the creeks but still trying to seek relevance.

Gbomo, however, vowed that soldiers would be made to account for the loss of lives in the Niger Delta.
"These state sponsored terrorists (troops) are responsible for the killings, rapes, indiscriminate bombings, and wanton destruction of property belonging to innocent civilians in impoverished oil bearing communities whose resources continue to sustain the entire Nigerian economy to their own detriment.

"We have adopted the same scorched earth policy of the military which was approved by the Presidency and endorsed by the National Assembly on any oil and gas company that allows its flow stations, rigs, pipelines or super tankers to be used as a safe haven"

The MEND declared Bello a wanted man, and said he should give himself up at our Camp 5 annex and "tell us what happened to the women, the disabled, elderly, babies and children who could not escape from his indiscriminate and cowardly aerial attacks."

Abubakar laughed it off, saying Gbomo and his gang can only run but would not be allowed to hide because their days are numbered.

Super Eagles and Chelsea of England midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has made himself incommunicado to the officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), confirming rumours of a rift between him and the team's coach, Shuaibu Amodu.

However, the NFF has succumbed to the wish of Coach Amodu on the number of players that will travel to Malta training camp.

The player, it was learnt, was unhappy with the way he was treated by the team coaching crew in the Sunday World Cup qualifier against Kenya in Abuja.

Mikel Obi, who was unavailable for the last two friendly matches against Ireland and France, was not dressed for the Kenya match in Abuja despite joining his colleagues.

NFF sources confirmed on Wednesday that the player listed for the Malta prepara tory camp for the 2010 World Cup qualifying match against Tunisia in Rades on June 20 cannot be traced.

Consequently, efforts to get him to take the photograph of his new international passport have been abortive as he has refused to pick his calls.

"If he did not show up for his new passport that's his business.
We have not used him in the last three matches, so we will not miss him at all. If he fails to turn up, it simply means he has ruled himself out of the team," a top NFF official said on Wednesday.

The NFF, it was also learnt on Wednesday, has backed down on the number of players the coach will take to Malta.

Amodu has been given the go-ahead to take the 30 players he listed for the training camp.

We don't want to be seen as creating any problem. We just have to oblige the coach whatever he wants," said Demola Olajire, NFF image-maker.

While the coach has insisted on having 30 players in Matla, the NFF asked him to prune it down to 23, a request the coach has refused.

A budget deficit of N249.10 billion was recorded in the first quarter of the year, the Minister of State for Finance Remi Babalola has said.

The minister said this yesterday in Abuja at an interactive session organised by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for State Commissioners of Finance. He was represented by the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo.


He said between January and March, N979.25 billion was generated by revenue generation agencies as against budget target of N1.228 trillion. "A deficit of 249.10 billion or 10 percent of the budget has already occurred", the Minister said.

This year, Federal Government budgeted N3 trillion for the country with an estimated deficit of about N800 billion.

FIRS has recorded a shortfall of N124 billion in the first quarter, while the Nigerian Customs Service is estimated to have recorded a shortfall of about N76.975 billion.

Revenue shortfall from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is not certain. But the Minister of Petroleum, Dr. Rilwan Lukman estimated the country's oil production at 2 million against OPEC quota of 2.5 million bpd.

The Minister of State for Finance, Remi Babalola said that crisis in the Niger Delta is contributing to the dwindling revenue from crude oil.

He said unless efforts are put in place to ensure discipline in expenditure, key assumptions in the 2009 budget will not be realised.

President Umaru Musa Yar'adua has said that he may not be able to implement the 2009 budget up to 100 percent because of dwindling revenue.

The National Assembly is criticising the President for implementing a different budget from the one they approved.

Babalola said as a result of the economic meltdown, the performance of all revenue generating agencies in the 2009 is witnessing downward turn.

He said: "For example, between January and March 2009, the sum of N979.25 billion was generated when compared to the budgeted sum of N1.228 trillion, a deficit of N249.10 billion or 10% of the budget has already occurred."

Comparing the current situation with last year, the minister said four major revenue generation agencies collected the sum of N7.65 trillion in 2008 as total revenue against the budget of N6.671 trillion, resulting in surplus of N98.232 billion or 15 percent increase.

"FIRS in particular generated N2.97 trillion of the total collection or 39%. The performance of FIRS is therefore 31% over and above their 2008 budgeted figure", he said.

Chairman of FIRS Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui Okauru said the current slight rises in the prices of oil should not provide the country with comfort but rather the Nigeria should concentrate efforts on improving internally generated revenue through tax.

"Admittedly, oil prices have picked up (to over $60 per barrel, from a prior low of just above $40 per barrel earlier this year) however, this should not provide comfort to us, as we are well aware of the volatility of oil prices", she said.

Chairman, Forum of Commissioners of Finance of Nigeria who is also the Commissioner of Finance, Taraba State, Rebo Usman said the real solution to the dwindling economic fortunes of government lies in its ability to harness potential sources of economic activities.

He said: "We must appreciate, for example, that individuals and companies can only pay tax when they are able to earn incomes, either through salaries or profits made from employment or business activities."

Washington, DC — Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-rufai, has acknowledged it was a huge mistake on his part to have helped in the election of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua even as he said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo only accepted reforms out of necessity.

El-rufai also said the creation of the new Niger Delta ministry is a "political gesture" and unecessary bureaucracy that will fail to solve the problems facing the troubled region. Instead, he advocated the deployment of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in the implementation of an aggressive development plan similar to that of Abuja.

The former minister made these remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C., while delivering a speech titled "Nigeria: Political Dynamics and Prospects for Reform."

El-rufai moaned what he said was the unwillingness of President Yar'adua to accept the economic reform agenda when he became president.

Asked if he does not partially bear a responsibility for supporting the president during the campaign, El-rufai replied in the positive.

"I played a role to get him elected because I thought he could run Nigeria. He was not a bad guy, so we thought he could do it and we worked to help him get elected.

"After two years, I have reviewed everything and think we made a mistake. That does not mean we should not acknowledge it. People made decisions based on information then," he explained.
Although, President Obasanjo personally selected Yar'adua, El-rufai says the former governor enjoyed goodwill among the power players because he performed relatively well in his native Katsina State.El-rufai accused the Yar'Adua administration of paying lip service to the fight against corruption, embarking on what he described as a "disingenuous" campaign against the oppositon and dragging its feet on the approval of the report of the Niger Delta Technical Committee submitted in November 2008.

He argued that Obasanjo bought into the reform agenda that proved highly successful only because he was compeled by circumstances to do so. To back his argument, he stated that Obasanjo wanted the write-off of the $30 billion Paris Club debt he inherited as his economic legacy, hence his willingness to toe the line.He further explained that the EFCC under the Obasanjo government was established as a token step to satisfy one of the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to remove Nigeria from the list of non-cooperating countries in international financial transactions.The agency thus "got a new lease of life not with the establishment of EFCC but the accidental appointment of the passionate and committed Nuh Ribadu as Chairman," he claimed.

To butress his point, El-rufai cited the case of the former military President Abdulsalami Abubakar, who he says also agreed to reform only because there was need to engage with multilateral agencies at the time when oil priced collapsed to about $10 per barrel in 1998.

"That situation of near-bankruptcy of the Federal Government enabled us to get the Staff-Monitored Programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) signed and the Privatisation Decree enacted in record time by the military junta," he argued.

While not questioning President Obasannjo's love and genuine intentions for the country, El-rufai maintained that reform was not his goal when elected in 1999. Obasanjo was however "courageous" to accept the reform agenda in the midst of competing political interests by politicians determined to sustain the status quo, El-rufai explained.

Regarding the Niger Delta Ministry, the former minister said there is enough bureacuracy already and creating a ministry was the wrong approach to development challenges. He suggested the NDDC should to operate like the Federal Capital Development Authority at the inception of Abuja.

The president could appoint someone with a good reputation and integrity as the CEO, preferably from outside the region. It should be run professionally to reduce the political pressure from different states and experts hired from various fields to get the job done.

Giving an example on why parastatals run more efficienctly than ministries, El-rufai said he was compelled to shut down the Ministry of Abuja when he came into office because it was not functional.

"Because the problems of the Niger Delta require a regional solution and not a state-based solution, not distributing contracts, not buying buses, that will not solve the problem. You need to implement an infrastructure development programme, an economic strategy similar to what was designed for Abuja," he stated.

The former minister stressed the importance of political and electoral reforms. He admitted that one of the mistakes of the economic team during the Obasanjo government was their failure to realise that politics "trumps everything everyday."

That mindset caused the team, mostly technocrats, to avoid getting deeply involved in the political process, thereby suffering marginalisation and the reversal of policy directions, he claimed

Nigeria requires what he described as a revolutionary political movement without violence in order to progress, he noted.

Another speaker at the event, Mr. Carl Le Van concurred when he said that a domestic movement is needed in the country. This movement, accordign to Van could include former politicans with genuine intentions and expertise who are currently unemployed.

Politics at the state level can also be strenghtened as a buffer against weakness at the federal level, he added.

El-rufai who recently graduated with an MA in Public Policy and Management from Havard University Kennedy School of Government said President Barack Obama chose to ignore Nigeria and travel to Ghana in order to support good governance in that country.

That move indicates that Nigeria's quality of governance has deteriorated, he added.

The global economic crisis is set to drive millions more people into poverty, to slash radically capital flows to Africa and to deprive sub-Saharan Africa of at least U.S. $50 billion in income by the end of this year, predicts a new report.

The crisis is expected to have a high impact on 19 sub-Saharan countries.

Abuja — Despite losing 3-0 to the Super Eagles, coach of the Harambe Stars, Atoine Hey, said he was happy with the outcome of the match and especially the performance of his boys.

"I am satisfied with the way we played. We prepared for an aggressive start of the game but the goal came after three minutes but we tried to hold on and played the ball well. We knew what to expect here; but we had our own chances about one or two. Now we have to work hard for the must win game at home against Mozambique," Hey said.

Captain of the Harambe Stars, Musa Otieno, corroborated what his coach said, pointing out that the performance of his side showed that there was a future for Kenya's football.

Otieno, who has seen Kenya go down to the Super Eagles on three different occasions in the 12 years he has spent with the Harambe Stars, said, however, that the team has matured over time to be able to face any opposition and come out with a decent result.

"You can see from the way we played that there is a future for Kenyan football. We know the road we are going would not be an easy road and I told the players to believe in themselves," he said.

Compare to their opponents most of whom ply their trade abroad, Otieno pointed out that the visitors had five home-based players in their line up.

After more than a decade of legal battles, the Royal Dutch Shell oil company has agreed to pay an out-of-court settlement in a case in which it was accused of committing human rights abuses in collusion with Nigeria's former military government.
The case was due to go for trial next week in the United States. Instead, Shell will settle the case for U.S. $15.5 million. It will set up a $5 million trust to benefit local communities in Ogoni and make payments to the relatives of Ogoni activists who were executed or injured by the military regime of Sani Abacha in 1995. The most prominent among the activists was the writer Ken Saro-Wiwa.

Campaigners backing the case said the people of Ogoni believe the settlement to be a victory. But Shell denied involvement in any wrongdoing and the payout was part of a "process of reconciliation".

"Shell is guilty," said Steve Kretzmann, executive director of Oil Change International, an American group which promotes clean energy. "Despite this victory, justice will not be served in Ogoni and throughout the Delta until the gas flares are put out, "

International environmental groups are campaigning to stop oil companies from carrying out gas flaring, a process in which emissions are burnt off to release pressure in oil pipelines and other facilities.

The international program director for Friends of the Earth U.S., Elizabeth Bast, said in a statement that "Shell will be dragged from the boardroom to the courthouse, time and again, until the company addresses the injustices at the root of the Niger Delta crisis and put an end to its environmental devastation."

She added: "Communities, human rights lawyers and activists will continue to demand justice with the same determination and hope shown by Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni people."

Explaining Shell's decision to settle, its executive director for exploration and production, Malcolm Brinded, said: "While we were prepared to go to court to clear our name, we believe the right way forward is to focus on the future for Ogoni people, which is important for peace and stability in the region."

THE probability of a bad outing by the Super Eagles was averted last night when the inclusion of Nwankwo Kanu suddenly turned around a Super Eagles team that was battling against Abuja warm weather and the resilience of Harambee Stars, who rose to the occasion and started dictating the pace of the game.

Two times, they missed one-on-one chances against Nigeria and on another occasion, they just narrowly missed the target. The capacity crowd at the Abuja national stadium, was at this time apprehensive of the sudden drop in the pace of the Eagles, and the re-awakening of the Kenyan side.

The only consolation at this time was that Nigeria were already a goal up, courtesy of a superb Ike Uche goal, just three minutes into the game. He had dribbled about five players before blasting home. The strike received a loud ovation and that appeared to spur the Eagles on. But it all ended there as no more goal was scored and on resumption, the Kenyans were gaining greater possession, making penetrating runs but simply lacking the finishing. However, two of such situations were so close that only luck saved the Eagles.

When the crowd appeared impatient and started jeering in reaction to the slow pace of Eagles, who were passing the ball back many times, Kanu stepped up the game, moving forward and getting cheered up by the crowd. His sensational move forced Kenya to hack him down for a penalty. Nsofor scored the penalty and scored another one and sent the whole stadium dancing. The 3-0 was worth celebrating by the entire crowd that included the Vice President, some Ministers and Governors. The crowd attendance was superb.

Coach Amodu Shuaibu received commendations for fielding players who showed commitment in the preparations and leaving out the likes of Mikel Obi, Joseph Yobo and Taye Taiwo who were not even dressed for the match. They did not play the two friendly matches and Amodu's action was just a signal to make Eagles competitive. Amodu said it was good we scored three goals but added that the weather was still harsh on the players. The game started by 5p.m and it turned out to be a wise decision because the way the Kenyans played and the Eagles looked, it could have been different. He added that he was not experimenting but that the transformation would continue.

Former Heads of State who shot their way to power should not benefit from a retirement package being debated by the National Assembly, senators insisted yesterday.

Speaking during debate on general principles of a bill for an act to provide remuneration for former Presidents, Heads of State, Heads of Federal Legislative Houses and Chief Justices of the federation, majority of senators spoke against inclusion of former military rulers under the package.

Presenting his lead debate, Senate Leader Teslim Folarin said "The thrust of this bill is essential to amend Decree 32 of 1999 and ensure that only democratically elected former Presidents are entitled to benefit from the entitlements and benefits enumerated in the schedules to the bill.

The former military leaders are however members of the Council of State under the Third Schedule Part 1B (5) of the 1999 Constitution which reads, "The Council of State shall comprise the following personsa) the President, who shall be the Chairman; (b) the Vice-President, who shall be the Deputy Chairman; (c) all former Presidents of the Federation and all former Heads of the Government of the Federation; (d) all former Chief Justices of Nigeria; (e) the President of the Senate; (f) the Speaker of the House of Representatives; (g) all the Governors of the states of the Federation; and (h) the Attorney-General of the Federation."

But Section 84 of the same constitution left former military rulers out of the list of former leaders due for remuneration. The offices aforesaid are the offices of President, Vice-President, Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice of the Supreme Court, President of the Court of Appeal, Justice of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Judge of the Federal High Court, Chief Judge and Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Chief Judge of a State, Judge of the High Court of a State, Grand Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, President and Judge of the Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Grand Kadi and Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of a State, President and Judge of the Customary Court of Appeal of a State, the Auditor-General for the Federation and the Chairmen and members of the following executive bodies, namely, the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Federal Civil Service Commission, the Independent National Electoral Commission, the National Judicial Council, the Federal Judicial Service Commission, the Judicial Service Committee of the Federal Capital Territory,"

The bill was passed by the 5th session of the National Assembly but was refused assent by former President Olusegun Obasanjo who also supported removal of former military Heads of State from the beneficiaries of the remuneration. It has now passed through second reading again and will soon be subjected to public hearing.
