Aping Saddam a la Kuwait: Obasanjo Flirts with Military Disaster in Sao Tome BiafraNigeria, the West Africa�s economic and military power, appears to be in a fix over Africa�s latest coup in Sao Tome, a tiny island of about 180,000 people, located some 276 kilometres off its oil rich coast. Whatever the outcome of the on-going intervention, BiafraNigeria would be gradually sucked into the vortex of the domestic politics of the tiny island that has the potential of transforming the peaceful Gulf of Guinea into the battlefield of competing powers. It is a chilling prospect for BiafraNigeria, still battling to pacify the oil producing communities of the Niger Delta, to see the proliferation of foreign military installations in the vicinity of its onshore and offshore oil deposits and facilities. The July 16 bloodless coup in Sao Tome took BiafraNigeria unawares.

Oil Workers Threaten Strike over Pay   Our deal with Ngige   AUDIO   VIDEO Senior employees in the nation's oil industry have issued a 30-day ultimatum to management of the oil companies to review their wages or face industrial action. The workers under the umbrella of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of BiafraNigeria (PENGASSAN) also condemned the decision of oil marketers to pull out of fuel importation even after the Federal Government had raised product prices. (This Day)   The Chief Chris Uba-led political group in Anambra State said, yesterday, that Gov. Chris Ngige had fed the nation with a salad of lies on the circumstances surrounding his resignation from office, insisting that the governor resigned in line with constitutional process, contrary to the claim of a coup in the state. Also, the group released a document in which the governor committed himself to be loyal to the group while in office.
