^ yeah, $4.50 is totally illegal

Gigantic undersea oil reserves have just recently been discovered in vast swathes of international waters stretching between South America and Africa, so the potency of the petroleum card as a tool of modern diplomacy could well be on the wane already. The Nigerian government may have discovered as much when it hastily retracted a laughable "ultimatum to behave" earlier bleated at the US government in protest over the blacklisting of Nigerian air travellers triggered by the failed Xmas day terror attack which had been perpetrated by a Nigerian-born 72-Virgin seeker from the country's looting class.

Vigorous prosecution of those who foment religious strife in Nigeria would be a good start on the path to redeeming what is left of her international standing, but good starts are as rare and unlikely in Nigeria as honest policemen.

Yeah I read about that. However, I am skeptical about the potential of the oil reserves since technology to extract the oil might outweigh the profits. I agree though Nigerian Oil is losing its appeal to the west .
