But no, my dear, Russia is not racist
June 26, 2009
“Anyone who wants to buy shares in Nigaz…
…can do so” reads the news
but who exactly named the venture -
a name sure to confuse
Seems Russian giant Gazprom
had a bright idea
to traverse to Africa
across the big blue sea
And invest in Nigerian gas
and total blaxploitation
then named the company NIGAZ
without a thought of caution
I wonder what Nigerians think
of their newfound gassy status
perhaps they’ll simply ignore their new nick
take a cue, and drink to Bacchus
Or maybe they’ll revolt
and overtake the backers
renaming the entire company
to now be called “CRACKERS”
Ahahahaahhahaa, this was brilliant.

I think you’re missing the point of the name, it’s NIG from Nigeria and GAZ from Russian for gas.
ZOMG NO WAY!
Duh. Yeah, I got that.
