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 Gazpromrussian-bear
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”

  5. eventhough I commit just about all of my afternoon on the internet trying to play video games like myspace poker or petville, I always like to take some spare time to research a few blogs and forums here and there and I am grateful to report this recent article is actually fairly good quality and quite superior than 1 / 2 the various other poor quality junk I read today , anyways i’m going to take up a smattering of rounds of facebook poker
