NIGERIAN JOBS SCRAMBNLE KILLS 12

Jobs in any part of the civil service are prized

At least a dozen people have died during a recruitment drive for the Nigerian Immigration Service. Four people were killed in a stampede at the recruitment centre in Enugu in Nigeria's south-east. Recruiters closed a gate to the government building where candidates were to sit an aptitude test. More than 130,000 candidates applied for 1,260 jobs, local media report. Government jobs are prized for their regular salaries and good benefits. There are few good employment prospects for the many thousands of people who graduate from colleges and universities each year. Four people also died in Asaba, in the Niger Delta region, during a fitness test where candidates had to run miles in the hottest part of the day. Four people were also reported to have been crushed in an stampede in Ilorin in the central region of the country. Other people died during fitness tests in Kaduna in northern Nigeria and in Abia and Anambra in the east, but the exact number was unclear. Economic reforms over the last eight years have seen the civil service cut in size. The government is still the largest single employer in Nigeria, but a large number of Nigeria's 140m population rely on the informal economy for their living.

Chinese firm to build $1 billion road in Nigeria oil hub

By Nick Tattersall

LAGOS (Reuters) - One of China's top engineering firms has signed a $1 billion deal to build a road around the volatile Nigerian city of Port Harcourt, the hub of Africa's biggest oil industry, the AFC development bank said on Sunday.

The deal makes Beijing a key development partner in the Niger Delta, home to Nigeria's 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) oil industry, where poor infrastructure and a lack of investment have fuelled a campaign of violence by militant groups.

China Harbour Engineering Co. (CHEC) signed a memorandum of understanding with the African Finance Corporation (AFC) for the six-lane ring road during a visit to China by Nigerian local government and AFC officials last week.

"The 125-km highway will be the largest municipal highway project in Africa and is expected to be a catalyst to the city's economic development," the AFC, a private sector-led investment and development bank based in Nigeria, said in a statement.

It said a unit of the State Grid Corporation of China, the country's largest state-owned enterprise, would also help upgrade the region's shambolic electricity generation, transmission and distribution system.

The Niger Delta is plagued by attacks by militant groups on oil pipelines and the kidnapping of foreign workers, violence which has cut Nigerian oil output by a fifth in recent years and helped push world oil prices to record highs.

China depends on Africa for some 30 percent of oil imports and has invested heavily in top producers Nigeria and Angola.

The Nigerian government has made developing infrastructure in the delta one of the planks of its campaign to bring peace to the region, where impoverished local communities complain they are seeing none of the benefits of oil wealth.

"Infrastructure, creation of employment through capacity building of our people and growth of the economy are the essentials to solving the crisis," Rotimi Amaechi, governor of Rivers state where Port Harcourt is located, said in Beijing.

Jichang Zhuo -- chairman of CHEC parent company China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) (1800.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) -- said he hoped his company could contribute to the economic development of Rivers and said the project would begin immediately.

SECURITY FEARS

The announcement comes two days after Nigeria's biggest construction firm, Julius Berger JUBR.LG, started pulling out of the delta because of the deteriorating security situation.

The decision by the Nigerian unit of German builder Bilfinger Berger (GBFG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) came after gunmen kidnapped two of its senior Germans employees by blowing their armored vehicle off the road with dynamite close to Port Harcourt.

More than 200 foreigners have been seized in the Niger Delta since early 2006. Almost all have been released unharmed.

Amaechi said the Nigerian authorities would do all they could to protect Chinese workers.

"It is the responsibility of the Rivers state government to provide security to protect lives and property. We are determined to provide security for every staff member of CCCC that comes to work in Rivers state," he said.

The World Bank said in a report last week that China was leading new financiers in Africa, estimating its funding for roads, railways and power projects at $7 billion in 2006, up from just $1 billion a year between 2001-2003.

The bulk of the commitments were to four countries endowed with natural resources -- Nigeria, Angola, Sudan and Ethiopia

Subject: Proposta Finanziaia
Potresti sorprenderti nel ricevere questa lettera per il fatto che tu non mi
conosci e perci� vorrei presentarmi.
Mi chiamo Simone Mazenda, figlio primogenito di Paul Mazenda un
ex-agricoltore dello Zimbawe. Egli � stato ucciso poco tempo fa nell'attuale
guerra civile che incombe nel mio paese.
Ho ricevuto il tuo contatto attraverso il network e per questo ho deciso di
scriverti.
Mio padre, prima della sua morte, mi port� a Johannesburg (Sud-Africa) per
depositare una somma di 8,5 milioni di dollari, in una delle assicurazioni
private, proprio perch� conosceva il pericolo presente nello Zimbawe.
In seguito questa somma venne depositata e convertita in pietre preziose per
evitare la svalutazione dalla compagnia di assicurazione.
Questo capitale era destinato per l'acquisto di nuovi macchinari e prodotti
chimici per gli agricoltori e la creazione di nuove fattorie nello
Swaziland.
Il problema in questa terra nacque quando il presidente dello Zimbawe, Mr.
Robert Mugabe introdusse una riforma agricola nel mio paese che andava a
favore interamente del ricco popolo bianco e di pochissimi agricoltori
benestanti di colore.
Tutto questo port� allo sterminio di intere famiglie da parte di fanatici
guerriglieri che continuano a portare la societ� Zimbawese alla decimazione.
Quindi la nuova riforma � la causa principale della morte di migliaia di
persone e tra cui mio padre che ne rimase vittima.
Per questo motivo decidemmo io e la mia famiglia di chiedere asilo politico
e di trasferirci in Olanda, dove tutt'ora abitiamo per� allo stesso tempo
cercare di trasferire la nostra somma di denaro in un posto pi� sicuro
poich� il governo olandese proibisce ai rifugiati politici all'interno del
proprio territorio di possedere un conto bancario o essere coinvolti in
transazioni finanziarie.
Come primogenito ho la piena responsabilit� di venire a conoscenza di un
conto estero senza che il mio governo venga a saper di tutto ci�, in quanto
ha il potere di defraudare ogni bene che noi cittadini possediamo.
Il governo sud-africano sembra sia d'accordo con il governo dello Zimbawe.
Mi trovo di fronte al dilemma di trasferire questo capitale dal Sud-Africa
in modo da non incorrer pi� in simili esperienze nel futuro in quanto
entrambi i paesi hanno una simile storia politica.
Come uomo d'affari sono alla ricerca di un partner finanziario, al quale
posso affidare nelle sue mai il mio futuro e quello della mia famiglia e
vorrei assicurarti che questa transazione non presenta rischi.
Tutto ci� che adesso avrei bisogno e che tu possa assistere me e la mia
famiglia e cio� fare un contratto con la compagnia di assicurazione per
effettuare il versamento dall'ufficio della filiale in Olanda, avendo gi�
dato le mie direttive per il trasferimento, che deve essere fatto dal
Sudafrica in Olanda. Ma prima di tutte queste modalit� si deve stabilire
come il cambio di propriet� del conto e cosa molto pi� importante � che
questo denaro deve essere usato per il mio investimento.
Avrei due opzioni per te. La prima � che tu puoi scegliere di avere una
certa percentuale di denaro per sottoscrivere il conto di questa
transazione; come seconda possibilit� potresti diventare il mio partner per
tutto l'investimento di denaro nella da effettuarsi tua citt�. Qualunque
opzione tu scelga, sentiti libero di contattarmi.
Ti dico che ho gi� sottratto il 5% per tutte le spese relative al processo
di transazione bancaria. Se non preferisci il partenariato ti potr� versare
il 10% del denaro mentre il restante 85% verr� riservato per l'investimento
da farsi nella tua citt�.
Se non reco alcun disturbo contattami cortesemente a questo indirizzo e-mail
e ti chiedo gentilmente di mantenere l'assoluta privacy come la legge
prevede.
Grazie per il tuo sostegno e che dio ti benedica.
Cordiali saluti
Simone Mazenda

"Cults - Nigeria"

WARNING: PICTURES MAY BE TOO "STRONG,BRUTAL & BLOODY"

THE MODERATOR (charles)

Cults - Nigeria July 2005 In Nigeria, University fraternities have taken on brutal extremes. Students are being murdered and defiled with impunity by vicious cult members. 'It was a baptism of fire' recalls vice chancellor of University Benin. 'They cut his head open and flipped it -- like a cap, so that the brain matter and everything splattered around the building'. Over 80 Nigerian students have died in gruesome attacks by cult members in the last two years. No-one has ever been convicted. Cultists are often found to be children of prominent Nigerians and are often used by the regime itself to intimidate, maim and kill opponents. Cult leader, Meyer, explains how he uses the police to exact revenge on his opponents: 'We guide the police, pick them out to get them killed'. Universities are supposed to be the future of developing nations but a vocal minority here are trying to keep Nigeria in the Dark Ages.
