Nigéria começa a degringolar a coisa...estão queimando literalmente as pessoas, no link abaixo a entrevista do fotografo Justice Karo com fotos com cenas fortes.
seguir temos uma entrevista com nosso amigo Justice Karo, um fotógrafo do Lagos que conhecemos enquanto estávamos filmando o episódio sobre a Fashion Week Internationale da Nigéria (que será lançado em breve).
Conversamos de novo quando ele nos mandou fotos horripilantes da violência que estourou no país depois que pessoas ligadas ao movimento Occupy começaram a protestar sobre um grande aumento no preço dos combustíveis. Um amigo de Justice fez essas fotos com a câmera do celular. Estamos torcendo pros nossos novos amigos do Lagos...
AVISO: Imagens extremamente violentas.
VICE: Onde essas fotos foram tiradas, Justice?
Justice Karo:Não muito longe de onde eu moro, da casa onde vocês estiveram. Perto de Ogba, no sul do país.
As imagens que você mandou são terríveis. Você está com medo morando tão perto de onde isso aconteceu?
Não tenho medo, não. Depois que mataram esse cara, eles também atiraram em outras pessoas. Eu estava em casa na hora e fiquei sabendo depois que alguns garotos de Ogba queimaram um policial em retaliação. No momento as ruas estão silenciosas. Lembra como o Lagos era agitado quando vocês vieram? Imagine tudo silencioso agora.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — The leader of a radical Islamist sect has challenged the authority of Nigeria's president in an online video, promising more attacks in a nation increasingly overcome by unrest and divided by religion.
The video of Imam Abubakar Shekau cements his leadership in the sect known as Boko Haram. Analysts and diplomats say the sect has fractured over time, with a splinter group responsible for the majority of the assassinations and bombings carried out in its name.
It also exploits the widening mistrust those living in Nigeria's Muslim north feel for a weak federal government run by a Christian president, who has sparked a nationwide strike and protests after removing subsidies that kept gasoline prices low.
"In the end, they said they should kill us. They kill us. They burn our houses. They burn our mosques," Shekau says in the Hausa language of Nigeria's north. "They didn't even leave us. Because of that, we thought, let us protect ourselves as well."
Boko Haram, whose name in Hausa means "Western education is sacrilege," has carried out attacks in Nigeria's northeast and its capital that killed at least 510 people last year alone, according to an Associated Press count. The sect is blamed by the government for killing at least 68 people in the last week alone, as it continues its campaign to impose strict Islamic Shariah law across the multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people.
On Wednesday, suspected Boko Haram gunmen attacked a bus in Yobe state carrying Christian Igbo traders fleeing the north for their homeland in the country's southeast, killing four people, police said. In Adamawa state, authorities said sect members shot to death a police officer.
Shekau took control of the sect after a riot and security crackdown in July 2009 saw Boko Haram's leader and about 700 others killed. Police initially claimed to have killed Shekau during that violence in Nigeria, but he emerged last year in audio and video messages just before Boko Haram began its campaign of violence.
In the 15-minute video uploaded Tuesday to YouTube, Shekau appears relaxed, wearing a camouflage bulletproof vest and sitting between two Kalashnikov rifles. He criticized President Goodluck Jonathan for speaking out about the sect and hints that the group carries much more popular support across Nigeria's arid and impoverished north than what authorities believe.
"All these things you've been seeing happening, it's Allah who has been doing it because you refuse to believe in him and you misuse his religion and because of that, the thing is more than you, Jonathan," Shekau says. You can "meet other people who think what we're doing is good."
Shekau also recites a list of areas where Muslims have been killed in communal violence across Nigeria, then called on the president of an umbrella group of Christians to "repent" for calling on worshippers to defend themselves after Boko Haram began targeting Christians.
"People are talking about us, that we are a disease, a cancer, to people in Nigeria," Shekau says. "But we are not cancer and we are not a disease. And we are not wicked people with a bad habit. If people do not know us, Allah knows us."
While Boko Haram attacks began as drive-by shootings on motorcycles, the sect's assaults have become much more sophisticated over time, including using suicide car bombers. The sect claimed responsibility for the Aug. 26 attack on the United Nations headquarters in Nigeria that killed 25 people and wounded more than 100 others. It also carried out attacks that killed at least 42 people in Christmas Day strikes that included the bombing of a Catholic church near Abuja.
The U.S. government believes Boko Haram remains in contact with two al-Qaida-inspired terror groups in Africa, which could account for the increasing complexity of their attacks. The Shekau video also suggests an outside influence, copying the style of other terror groups' messages.
Muslims and Christians largely live in peace, do business with each other and intermarry in Nigeria. However, tension over Boko Haram's attacks have seen mosques attacked in recent weeks. On Tuesday, an angry mob attacked a mosque and school in southwest Nigeria, killing at least five people.
Muslim groups also denounced Boko Haram's violence, though many in the north remain angry over the high unemployment and poverty crushing the region as politicians embezzle billions of dollars of the country's oil revenues. Protests over the April presidential election that saw Jonathan win sparked rioting that left 800 dead across the north.

O governo do Estado nigeriano de Kano, no norte da país, decretou neste sábado toque de recolher de 24 horas em todo o território devido aos múltiplos atentados simultâneos na capital, que causaram pelo menos oito mortes e deixaram dezenas de feridos ainda na noite de ontem (20).
Testemunhas informaram à emissora britânica BBC, no entanto, uma contagem extra-oficial de mais de 20 mortos. De acordo com Olusola Amore, porta-voz do governo, o número de vítimas deve aumentar.
Ele acrescentou que este é um dos mais coordenados ataques terroristas a ocorrer no país, tendo como alvos simultâneos cinco delegacias de polícia, dois escritórios de imigração e a sede local dos Serviços de Segurança de Estado, a polícia secreta nigeriana.

This Means Wars
February 1, 2012: Boko Haram has killed nearly 300 people so far this year, compared to only about 700 during the previous three years. Most of the violence has been in Kano, a northern, largely Moslem, city of nine million. In the last two weeks, half a dozen police stations and facilities have been destroyed in Kano. The police have suffered several hundred casualties (dead, wounded, deserters). The police in Kano, like the rest of Nigeria, are corrupt and incompetent. The public generally considers the police a public menace and the Boko Haram attacks are popular for that reason. But the cops do suppress some crime and maintain some order. Since the Boko Haram attacks, most police are staying off the streets. The only security forces you see on the streets are army patrol. The army is less corrupt than the police, but more violent. The criminals are taking advantage of the situation, causing civilians to be wary, and stay off the streets more often.
The violence in Kano, and breakdown in what little law and order there was, has caused a growing number of people to flee. Most of the refugees are Christians, a group Boko Haram has openly declared that it will attack. At least 10,000 have left this month, either to areas outside the city, or in the Christian south.
Christian clerics and politicians in the south are urging people to refrain from religious violence. In fact, there has not been much "revenge" violence in the south, as there usually is when there is another outbreak of anti-Christian violence in the north. As is the custom in most of the world, most of the religious violence is instigated by Moslems, who are obsessed with the idea that Islam is under attack. But most of the problems found in Moslem population (corruption, little education, poverty) are self-inflicted. Nearby Christian populations tend to be better educated, and thus wealthier. This is considered anti-Moslem and obviously the result of some Christian conspiracy against Islam.
Boko Haram has developed internal dissent and produced its first known splinter group. Calling themselves Ansaru (for Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan, or "Vanguards for the Protection of Muslims in Black Africa"). Ansaru objects to the many Moslems who are being killed by Boko Haram attacks. It is unclear how large Ansaru is, and how much violence within Boko Haram, if any, will result from the split. It is believed that there is considerably more strife between Boko Haram leaders, with many strong-willed men, each with an armed following, trying to control the entire movement. At the moment, Boko Haram is on a roll, and most of these disagreements are put aside. But with the appearance of Ansaru, that appears to be changing.

Re: Nigéria
Saiu na internet que a Exxon pensa na venda de ativos nigerianos por US $ 3 bilhões . A ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) está considerando a venda de seus ativos de petróleo e gás na Nigéria, que pode chegar a US $ 3 bilhões. A Exxon está cada vez mais focada na Guiana, no Permiano e em seus negócios de downstream.
