Politics / Nigerian Stocks Climb To 3-week High On Possible Buhari Win by samakson(m): 1:01pm On Mar 31, 2015
LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigerian stocks extended their gains on Tuesday, rising almost 1 percent in early trade to a 3-week high as investors reacted positively to a possible win for the opposition party in Saturday's closely fought presidential election.

Opposition contender Muhammadu Buhari held a sizeable lead as counting in the country's election resumed on Tuesday, raising the prospect of a ballot box victory for a man who first came to power three decades ago via a military coup.

Stocks gained for the eighth consecutive session, with the banking index leading the charge.

The index of Nigeria's top 10 lenders rose 1.8 percent, partly lifted by positive earnings from some banks.

"With projections that Buhari may eventually be announced president-elect, it sends a positive signal to the markets that there would be a change to the way things have been done in the past," Ayodeji Ebo, head of research at Afrinvest said, referring to Nigeria's opposition contender Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari had more than 13 million votes according to a provisional Reuters tally collated from 31 of Nigeria's 36 states, compared to 10.5 million for President Goodluck Jonathan, whose five years at the helm of the continent's top oil producer have been plagued by corruption scandals and a bloody insurgency by Islamist Boko Haram militants.

"With a few exceptions, President Jonathan's stewardship of the economy has not been taken refreshingly, so this would be seen as an opportunity for a fresh start for the country," Jefferies analyst Richard Segal said.

The naira held steady at 218 against the dollar on the parallel market operated by bureau de change agents, while on the interbank market it opened at 199 naira to the dollar.
Politics / Meet The Ex-'seinfeld' Funnyman Turning The Tables On ‘nigerian Princes’ by samakson(m): 5:49am On Sep 07, 2013
Just about anyone with an email account has gotten a missive from someone claiming to be a “Nigerian prince” asking for money and promising a large financial reward in return.

And while the vast majority of us simply ignore the email scams, one man has managed to turn the tables on the aspiring con artists in a very unusual, and funny, way.

Comedian and author Barry Marder actually replies to the Nigerian prince emails.

Often using his pseudonym Ted L. Nancy, Marder sends polite, engaging and entirely naive messages to the individuals asking for his money. And he doesn’t stop replying until the con men themselves literally beg him to leave them alone.

“Basically, I drove them nuts until they cut it off,” Marder told Yahoo News. “They said get away from me, you’re a slowpoke.”

The resulting exchanges were so unexpected and entertaining that Marder showed his pal Jerry Seinfeld, who suggested turning them into a new show.

Ted L. Nancy: Letters from a nut

The story of how Marder, a longtime friend and collaborator of Seinfeld's, started his unusual correspondence with the Nigerian scammers dates to the 1990s.

Marder created the Ted L. Nancy character as a way to interact with companies who invite customers to write them about their experiences with the company’s products.

“I came up with this character in 1994 with my girlfriend, Phyllis Murphy,” Marder said of Nancy’s origins. “I was eating a bag of Fritos, and she was watching TV at 4 in the morning. On the bag, it said, 'If you’ve got any problems, write Fritos.' I said to myself, 'Who would write to Fritos?'”

Marder, as Ted L. Nancy, then began writing letters to major corporations and even public utility providers. And strangely enough, they wrote back.

“I wrote to the gas company and told them I was an avid reader of your gas pamphlets,” Marder told Yahoo News. “I started to get answers back, and I thought wow, these people are going to answer me.”

The Ted L. Nancy act works by seeing how long someone will indulge the ridiculous rants of an entirely sincere, enthusiastic and wildly uninformed man.

“Ted is a very nice, polite person,” Marder explained. “He’s not contentious. He compliments them. And then he starts with the horror, ‘I like to check into your hotel with 300 hamsters.’ Ted was a nut. But he was really nice, friendly nut.”

Eventually, Seinfeld encouraged Marder to compile the Nancy letters into a book. The Ted L. Nancy series – Letters From a Nut became so popular that many people assumed they were actually written by Seinfeld himself. Eventually, the pair had to make a series of national TV appearances on programs like NBC’s “Today” show to convince a skeptical audience that Marder was in fact the person behind Nancy.

'By the sixth exchange, they would be telling me I was a slowpoke'

When the Ted L. Nancy email account started receiving messages from individuals claiming to be Nigerian princes, lawyers or doctors, he knew it was a natural way to extend the humorously benign adventures of Ted L. Nancy.

“Everyone in America gets these letters,” Marder said. “'We have $22 million for you,’ they have this sob story, etc. The stories became more and more outlandish.”

“Comedy is a very good vehicle to show people the truth,” Marder explains. “I would get into 20 to 30 email exchanges with them. I’d ask them if I could get some spending money, could I get some money for dry cleaning," he said.

And while Marder would never actually send any of the email scammers money, he would send them pictures of other, unusual items as part of the ruse.

For example, he’d mail a picture of a single sock or swimming goggles to the physical address where the scammers were asking him to wire money. Then, he would demand that they send back a photo of the sock to confirm they had received his package.

“By the sixth exchange, they would be telling me I was a slowpoke,” Marder said. “This went on until every one of them told me off. I think this is just weird, funny stuff. It’s a social thing, it does paint a picture.”

Along the way, he interacted with scammers hailing from Russia, India and, of course, Nigeria. In the end, they all had two things in common: First they asked for money, and eventually, they all gave up and asked Nancy to just go away.

And now, Marder said he wants to turn the Nigerian prince email exchanges into a new animated Web series. He hopes he and Seinfeld could do some of the voices and his brother Alan Marder could animate a series of 10 episodes chronicling the increasingly bizarre exchanges.

As to whether there’s a deeper social meaning to his efforts, Marder said it’s all done for laughs. But he’s hopeful that anyone not already aware of the scam emails sees his videos before getting roped in.

“Anyone that preys on anyone for any reason, it’s wrong,” he said. “They’re not offering any kind of real service. I think they should be stopped.”

Politics / Nigeria's Elumelu Seeking 2 Oil Blocks For Power Plants by samakson(m): 1:08pm On Jul 16, 2013
LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigerian businessman Tony Elumelu is negotiating with several oil majors to buy two onshore oil and gas assets he will use to fire power plants that are part of his $2.5 billion investment pledge to U.S. President Barack Obama's Africa Power initiative.

"I just came back from Europe yesterday and we are talking very seriously with all of the oil majors to buy two big oil fields," Elumelu said in an interview at his office in Lagos.

Several oil majors, including Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell, Petrobras and ConocoPhillips are expected to this year divest multiple assets onshore or in the shallow waters of the Niger Delta, continuing a trend that started two years ago.

Elumelu, a former banker credited with transforming United Bank for Africa from an ailing local lender into a pan-African behemoth, is building, buying or renovating up to five power plants in Nigeria, through investment fund Heirs Holdings.

His plans are a key part of the government's move to get its decrepit power sector into private hands and end chronic power shortages seen as the main break on Africa's second biggest economy.

But investors are wary of potential problems such as the reliability of gas, the transmission of what they produce - which will remain in state hands - and ensuring payment for the power, as well as disruptive unions.

Elumelu already counts two oil blocks among his interests.

"Our two oil blocks have huge gas supply, which we intend to use to produce power. We have more than enough to supply our current plans," he said, but added that seeking a further two would enable him to have even more.

ASSURED DEMAND FOR POWER

When Obama unveiled a $7 billion Africa Power initiative this month, private sector leaders matched it with $9 billion of commitments. Elumelu pledged $2.5 billion.

Despite being the continent's top oil producer and holding the world's ninth largest gas reserves, Nigeria's power output is a tenth of South Africa's for a population triple the size.

"It's the one sector where demand is certainly assured. Everything you produce ... will be taken off you," he said, estimating it at 70,000 - 100,000 megawatts, against the 4,000 mw currently produced.

"The beauty of the privatisation is that once the private sector mentality is in the value chain, they will put pressure on the government to make sure it works," he said.

Heirs Holdings has about $300 million invested in Nigeria's power sector through its Transnational Corporation of Nigeria (Transcorp). Earlier this year it bought a Nigerian power plant and it is aiming to raise its output to 1,000 megawatts.

Elumelu said he was also planning to spend $700 million in refurbishing another power plant, and was bidding for at least one of 10 new gas fired plants that the government put up for auction last month.

Though most of his power investments would be in Nigeria, Elumelu said he was also looking at Tanzania, where he has already bought farmland, as a possible site for power projects.

Politics / Nigeria To Sign Off On $3 Billion In Chinese Loans by samakson(m): 3:15pm On Jul 04, 2013
ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan will travel to China next week to sign off on $3 billion in Chinese loans to build infrastructure in Africa's most populous country, the finance minister said on Wednesday.

The agreed loans will come from the Chinese government and will be based on interest rates of less than 3 percent over a 15-20 year period, Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said.

The deal underscores increasing Chinese interest in Africa and its resources - Nigeria is the continent's top oil producer - in competition with Western powers.

Okonjo-Iweala estimates Nigeria needs $10 billion a year of investment to improve infrastructure like roads and electricity to keep up with a rapidly growing population, already some 170 million, and to sustain economic growth at around 6-7 percent.

U.S. President Barack Obama launched a $7 billion initiative on Sunday to help Africa with electricity shortages but this is dwarfed by the $20 million in loans China has promised the continent. Obama did not visit Nigeria.

"We know that China fuelled its growth by really keeping one step ahead in terms of infrastructure ... we need roads, we need power, we need help on aviation, agriculture," Okonjo-Iweala told Reuters at the presidential villa in the capital.

China has made a string of cheap loans in the past few years to countries in Africa, a continent which supplies oil and raw materials like copper and uranium to the world's most populous country and second-largest economy.

The loans to Nigeria include $500 million to build airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano; and over $700 million to build a hydroelectric power plant in Niger State.

It also includes $600 million to build a light railway in the capital Abuja, most of which has already been invested on a project due to be completed early next year.

Lending at below market rates to fund infrastructure projects using Chinese firms has enabled Beijing to cement relationships in Africa while subsidising its construction industry.

Nigeria's central bank governor Lamido Sanusi warned African governments in March that China's pursuit of raw materials and markets for its manufactured goods on the continent carried "a whiff of colonialism" similar to that introduced by Europeans in centuries past.

"I'm not of the school that says 'look this is colonialism' ... We should be open to whoever wants to invest and help us finance our needs," Okonjo-Iweala said.

The loans are part of a $7.9 billion external borrowing plan approved by Nigeria's national assembly last year as government seeks to up cheaper external borrowing and limit domestic debt.

Okonjo-Iweala said the delegation travelling to China on July 7 would also be discussing China's interest in oil from Nigeria, an OPEC member and Africa's top producer.

"They want more oil and gas ... we have something they want now and they have something we want, so you have grounds for negotiations," Okonjo-Iweala said.

With the discovery of shale oil and gas in the United States, Nigeria is losing its biggest customer and looking for new buyers. India has been increasing its imports from Nigeria.

Politics / The 30-minute Film Called "Fuelling Poverty" Ft Wole Shoyinka Ban In Nigeria. by samakson(m): 1:39pm On Apr 21, 2013
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — The documentary on a massive strike that paralyzed life in Nigeria features newspaper headlines, television news footage and other information widely known about a government gasoline subsidy that saw billions of dollars stolen by greedy companies and the nation's elite.
It also, according to Nigerian authorities, could spark violence and potentially threaten national security.
The 30-minute film called "Fuelling Poverty" has been online for months, but only recently Nigerian officials have refused its director permission to show it publicly in this oil-rich nation of more than 160 million people. While free speech is enshrined in this democratic nation's constitution, an ever-increasing drumbeat of complaints and critical articles about the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has seen authorities increasingly target journalists and others.
The film, sponsored by Soros Foundation's Open Society Justice Initiative for West Africa, focuses on the protests around Jonathan's decision to remove subsidies on gasoline in January 2012. Life in Nigeria ground to a halt before unions backed down. Later, a report by lawmakers demanded businesses and government agencies to return some $6.7 billion over the subsidy program.
Ishaya Bako, who directed the film that features civil rights activists and Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka, later applied for the right to show the film publicly. In a letter dated April 8, Nigeria's National Film and Video Censors Board told Bako that the documentary was "prohibited for exhibition in Nigeria."
"I am further to inform you that this decision is due to the fact that the contents of the film are highly provocative and likely to incite or encourage public disorder and undermine national security," the letter signed by board lawyer Effiong Inwang reads. "Please you are strongly advised not to distribute or exhibit the documentary film. All relevant national security agencies are on the alert."
Tanko Abdullahi, a spokesman for the board, initially told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the film wasn't banned, but was "denied classification." Later, in the same conversation, he acknowledged it couldn't be shown over unspecified "security issues."
"What is national security for Nigeria is different from that of the U.S.A.," Abdullahi said. "We made that determination because of the content of the film. That's why you have regulators."
The government's decision has seen more people watch the film online. It also has sparked outrage from human rights activists and press freedom groups.
"Instead of banning the documentary 'Fuelling Poverty,' authorities should look into the important questions it raises about corruption and impunity in the country's oil sector and at the highest levels of government," Mohamed Keita, an official with the Committee to Protect Journalists, said in a statement. "We urge Nigeria's National Film and Video Censors Board to overturn this censorship order."
The move to ban the film comes as Jonathan's government, which many voted for believing he would change the engrained interests and corruption of Nigeria's government, has grown increasingly unpopular as extremists carry out bombings and the state-run power company cannot offer stable electricity. During the strikes, government officials put increasing pressure on broadcasters not to show images of protests, which at one point saw tens of thousands in the streets of Lagos.
Today, journalists at a newspaper face forgery charges over a story that claimed the presidency would try to disrupt opposition parties. Security agencies have harassed reporters at a weekly newspaper that wrote about abuses by the military in its crackdown against Islamic extremists. And workers who ran a call-in radio show in the northern city of Kano face charges over talking about rumors surrounding polio vaccinations in the wake of at least nine women vaccinators being killed.
Despite the outcry, however, the apparent crackdown continues, only fueling more of the same apathy for Nigeria's government seen by those featured in the documentary.
"We don't have government. It's a whole big banana republic," barber Emmanuel Tom Ekin says in the film. "They've been coming telling us story all the time, deceiving us. And right now, in our faces, they are still deceiving us."

Sports / The Super Eagle Has Landed: Seattle Sounders Unveil New Player Obafemi Matins by samakson(m): 5:31am On Mar 16, 2013
SEATAC, Wash. — The journey had a few more twists and turns than was probably ideal, but Obafemi Martins finally touched down around 5:30 pm on Friday. About an hour later, the Nigerian international cleared customs and met the local media.
Within 24 hours, there’s a chance he’ll make his Seattle Sounders debut.
At the very least, Martins will be eligible for Saturday’s game against the Portland Timbers (8 pm ET; NBCSN, LIVE chat on MLSsoccer.com).
“With all the traveling and I’ve not been training for a couple days now … it all depends on the coach anyway,” Martins told the assembled media. “I’m ready to play. That’s why I’m here.”
Martins suggested he had been hoping to join the Sounders earlier, but that his former club Levante “made things a little bit not easy.” The La Liga club was reluctant to lose their leading scorer – Martins has nine goals in 24 games across all competitions this season – and reportedly refused to agree to a transfer fee, instead insisting upon his exit clause.

Politics / Nigeria Says Arrests Iran-linked Cell Targeting U.S., Israel by samakson(m): 11:30am On Feb 21, 2013
ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria's secret service say they have arrested a "terrorist cell" trained in Iran who planned to attack U.S. and Israeli targets in Africa's most populous nation.
The State Security Service (SSS) said they arrested Abdullahi Mustapha Berende and two other Nigerians in December after Berende made several suspicious trips to Iran where he interacted with Iranians in a "high profile terrorist network".
"His Iranian sponsors requested that he identifies and gathers intelligence on public places and prominent hotels frequented by Americans and Israelis to facilitate attacks," SSS spokeswoman Marilyn Ogar said in a statement.
"There is conclusive evidence that Berende in collaboration with his Iranian handlers were involved in grievous crimes against the national security of this country."
Iran has yet to respond to the allegations.
Berende, who will now be charged in court, admitted spying for Iranian counterparts to reporters on Wednesday.
"As for surveillance, that one is true ... It is a regrettable phenomenon I shouldn't be proud of it," he said as he was paraded by the SSS in their Abuja offices.
He received $30,000 to carry out operations, the SSS said.
This is not the first diplomatic incident between Nigeria and Iran. An Iranian diplomat was arrested in 2004 on suspicion of spying on the Israeli embassy in Nigeria's capital Abuja, Israeli sources said. Iran denied any arrest.
In 2010, authorities at a Lagos port found a hidden shipment of artillery rockets, rifle rounds and other weapons from Iran. The shipment was supposedly bound for Gambia. A Nigerian and an Iranian face criminal charges over the shipment.
Tehran has previously denied any involvement in bomb attacks against Israeli embassy targets in India and Thailand in February last year and dismissed accusations it was involved in a bombing in Bulgaria that killed seven Israeli tourists last July.
Iran has accused Israeli and Western agents of sabotaging its disputed nuclear program, including the assassination of several of its scientists. The Iranians deny that the sabotage has significantly set back their nuclear program.
Berende first travelled to Iran in 2006 where he studied at an Islamic university, before returning in 2011 for weapons and explosives training, the SSS said.
Ogar said Berende sent his Iranian partners photos of the Israeli cultural centre in Lagos and told them that they should attack former military ruler Ibrahim Babangida and Islamic spiritual leader the Sultan of Sokoto to "unsettle the West".
Nigeria's population of 160 million is split roughly equally between a mostly Muslim north and a largely Christian south.
Islamist groups in the north have become the biggest threat to stability in Africa's top oil producer. Western governments are increasingly concerned they are linking up with extremists outside Nigeria, including al Qaeda's north African wing.

Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, spokesman for joint military and police forces in Borno state, said one soldier had also been killed in the firefights, which cast fresh doubt on a ceasefire declared by one purported Boko Haram commander this week.

Politics / Nigeria To Charge Russian Sailors With Arms Smuggling by samakson(m): 3:18pm On Jan 09, 2013
ABUJA (Reuters) - Fifteen Russian sailors detained by Nigeria's navy in October on suspicion of arms smuggling have been transferred to police cells for prosecution, a naval spokesman said on Wednesday.

Nigerian authorities intercepted a ship and arrested its Russian crew on October 23 after they found several guns and around 8,500 rounds of ammunition aboard.

"On Monday, we handed over the crew to the police as we have completed preliminary investigations," Lieutenant Commander Jerry Omodara, spokesman for the Western Naval Command, said by telephone. "The ship and the weapons are still in our custody."

The Russian Foreign Ministry said the sailors were facing a court case initiated "under false pretexts" and that Nigeria broke a promise given to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that the men would return to Russia before the New Year.

"We expect that this time around the Nigerian partners will stick to their word and release the Russian sailors in the nearest time without additional conditions and further delays," the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

Arms smuggling to and through Nigeria is rife. Demand for weapons is great because of an Islamist rebellion in the north, armed robbery and kidnapping by gangs in the south and oil theft and piracy in the southeast.

The country is also sometimes used as a conduit for shipping arms to other conflict-ridden parts of West Africa.

The Moran Security Group, the Russian company that owns the confiscated vessel, called the accusations "groundless" and urged Nigeria to release the sailors.

"Over nearly three months, no charges were presented. This means the Nigerian side has no strong evidence... A week after the detention they would have been transferred to police arrest and then to court," Moran spokesman Alexei Maximov said.

"This case ... is the worst possible scenario that is threatening bilateral ties between Russia and Nigeria," he said.

Omodara said the boat was stopped initially because it was in Nigerian waters without permission.
