Nothing to do with putting the price of oil up further...

The locals have been rioting there for years and the oil companies have had to pay us techies a fortune to go there because we get hijacked and shot at - not as bad as Algeria, but not far off :helpme

Nigeria is one of the sketchiest place you can possible go to. I had a friend who went there a couple of years back with a buddy to work for an oil company, his friend was robbed and murdered the first week they were there, and he flew his ass right back home.

Looks like we'll have to invade Nigeria next, since the only thing the US wants is oil.

I'm surprised we haven't invaded Russia yet.
