Please say it's a hoax.
According to the BBC, Gazprom has created a joint venture with Nigeria's state-owned NNPC gas company. "The new firm, to be called Nigaz, is set to build refineries, pipelines and gas power stations in Nigeria."
Oh. Sweet. Lord.

But can Gazprom make things _worse_ in Nigeria?
They just did.
Nobody at Gazprom speaks English?
Sure it's a cultural specific word. But American culture is universal. A word like "Nigaz" would should have set off alarm bells.
Wow. I'm pretty braindead today.
I bet it is pronounced "Nye Gaz." (rhymes with "lye."
Nigh Gaz? (rhymes with "high")
Nie Gaz? (rhymes with "lie")
The Expatresse, you are wrong. "Ni" is shortened "Nigeria", "gaz" is Russian "gas".
As Anonymous points out, this makes a lot of sense when you break it down. Look for my new French farming conglomerate FAG (French AGriculture) and Spanish society of Independent Chemists (SPIC). I no speaka English. Whatta you mean is offensive?
>>But American culture is universal
Sorry for disappointing you but american culture is not of such importance))
If americans has problems with racism why other nations should be so awared of?)))
Ni(geria)Gaz(prom)good!!!!
Мы русские ещё не так пошутить можем)) Вы слова в своём языке исправляйте, и вообще, учитесь говорить по Русски!
Всем мир!
It is a Russian habit to combine words when giving names to new companies. If it was America then it would be AmeriGaz.
It happens.
Это не шутка, а чьё-то упущение.
Should Gazprom rename it to "AfroAmericanGaz"? :)
Anonymous said...baby
And at what here America?
Nigaz = Ni + gaz
Ni means Nigeria
Gaz means gas.
May be they must be "AfroAmericanGaz" ?

сша очередной раз пролетело мимо экономически выгодных проектов, вот и раздувают истерику в виде некорректного имени.
and the next oil-and-gas licensing round is "strictly 4 our N.I.G.G.A.S. -)
Gazprom Invests WITH Nigaz
shiii my bizzles, yous nizzles tain't know nuthin bout the russkizzles or gazizzle. putizzle and sechizzle got mad respect fo the nizzle's gazizzle from nigerizzle. tem boys knows wha ton the dizzle. tain't nuthin but a punkais bitchizzle that cain't understand why they call us, the NIGAZ!
We Russian do not name you the Negro. Назвние the companies is not humiliation for people of other color of a leather(skin). America here not in business. Nigeria the partner! It is business, no more that!
kondrat, do you have no sense of humor at all?
and don't give me that crap about how russians aren't rascist. are you one of those zakaznoi bloggers, a silly nationalist or an expat in brighton that's never seen what moscow is actually like??
ever seen how one of your tajik ZHeK cleaners gets hustled by the militsia??
I as against you do not hide behind a pseudonym the anonym!
The Russia - loyal and multinational country. Tell to me why the Tadjik does not work in the homeland, in Tadjikistan? Also do not confuse understanding - paid blloger, and independent. At me on a problem with name NiGaz the opinion. In this name there is no insult for africans who live in Nigerria.
Anonymous and Kondrart, you two have to be the dumbest people on the fcking planet. American culture has nothing to do with it. Nigerians (I am one) know very way what that word means and its connotations.
Maybe we should come to Russia set up a joint venture and call it ruskies or whatever the hell you communist assholes called. Can't believe that medvedev and his cronies missed this one.
The whole of mother Russia should be embarrassed about this, not least those idiots at Gazprom.
This word means NiGaz.The insult in this word is not present! It is the reduced variant..Ni(geria)Gaz(prom)..
Fool naive
(Ni)geria + (Gaz)prom
you can hyphenate the word all you want Kondrart. I know how they came up with the name. it is not particularly intelligent. However, the word is what it is.
I really hope you're having a laugh and not serious in defending the name. It is a marketing blunder, period.
shows just how racist you vodka guzzling, bad teeth, seedy russians are!
You with your mentality all the same will not understand. If it is not pleasant to you, change the lexicon concerning insults of people with other color of a leather(skin). Russia the kind country, and you paranoiacs
you, you NiGaz, I got a good news. Because you NiGaz must eat while you work the fields (oil fields you fouls), you will get a lot of British cheese, the famous B-Cheese. Those NiGaz that don't like B-Cheese see FAQ section. For digging holes while you search the oil, you will also get the famous swiss hole digging machines S-Hole. You NiGaz have fun with the B-Cheese and the S-Hole.
Oil is found, and the oil pipeline on 50 % belongs to Russia (no USA) and 50 % of Nigeria. To you what business before this business?
Silly to be indignant with the name the companies. It speaks in you hatred to Russia. Show itself more civilized person. 21-st century behind of a window.
Russia is a friendly multicultural country? That's a good one. It is one of the most racist and xenophobic countries in the world. In Russia there are more hate crimes than anywhere else in the world.
But naming the company NiGaz tops it all. Nigeria is an english-speaking country. Do the Diblas know that?
The opinion concerning Russia is wrong, my remote friend is higher. AntiRussian прпаганда has well changed your mental faculties. The USA the center of humiliation of peoples.
Only in English, a word niggas the insult of sounds, you have thought over it(him).. And Russian here is not guilty. Why Nigeria does not object? And you it is far from these people of a question bark here
why all the controversy? I am a Nigerian and it's pronounced "Nye-Gaz".... I hope Gazprom will not behave like other companies( "with politically correct names") who ruined the country out of corporate greed deeply rooted in racial and discriminatory policies. The evils of those companies are more than using the N-word. They treat the local communities "where the resources are gotten" worse than how white people treated N%%%ers during the era of slave trade .
The nigerian, you were in Russia? Why you so assert? In America and today there is a ghetto.. Russia has not been borrowed with slavery of nigerians
"The evils of those companies are more than using the N-word."
Nicely put.
You all, don;t be ridiculous! If it offends Western political correctness crowd so be it. The problem is if you are a racist you project that racism on every one else! Russians and Nigerians are not racist, like the West! So, keep your American bullshit PC standards to yourselves! Do not impose them on others!
Ну хоть один оппонент адекватно понимает всю абсурдность предьявленных этим сообществом обвинений)) Спасибо))
why are you creating a mountain out of a mole hill.Nigaz ,is a combubnation of two words PEOPLE!
Да потому что страна, где есть Ку-Клус-Клан, люди кторые в своём глазу бревна не видят, пытаются очередной раз проявить недовольство обычным для русских словосочетанием и обвинить их в рассизме.
Ну пусть поворчат))) Собака лает, а караван идёт))
Привет из России !
NIGAZ is very good!
Gentlemen, it is better to teach Russian language, and how would you all do not have to learn the language of East Harlem.
бугага ))))
I think it is good deal. I think Nigireans mustn't be shamed about any type of changing of name of theirs state. I like what Russia changing sence of word nigaz. It is most liking jewish joc to make sence of name of smb to bad way. Russia is not from what side.
What about multicultutal and racists.
Russia most multicultural and having good relations with different nationalities in the world. Some parts of Russia are national states in Russia. Some time people what coming into Russia offered themselves too and it is true(some time because they come from wild places). About Tadjics(I think this name does not insult smb and thats GOOD) most of drugs coming to Russia from Tadjicistan and Afghanistan via Tadjicistan and most tadjics are not street cleaner, but drug dealers which trade durg to chlids and themselves. most of them are close to criminal world.
And do not judge smb (russians) inside world if you even never seen russians.
"It is one of the most racist and xenophobic countries in the world. In Russia there are more hate crimes than anywhere else in the world."
Condoleezza login please
and what about NIGERia? may be we should rename it too?
Тупые американцы...
