Nigeria owes NNPC $8.1B Subsidy Money

By -

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - An official says the Nigerian government owes its state-run oil firm more than $8.1 billion in gasoline subsidy payments.



The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation official, who insisted on anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said Tuesday that the debt is straining its ability to import gasoline.



Despite producing about 2.4 million barrels of crude oil a day, Nigeria imports most of its gasoline because its refineries are unable to meet the nation's demand.



The official said the debt has added to the corporation's financial burden after private companies stopped importing earlier this year.



He said the corporation, which used to account for 60 percent of Nigeria's imports, now accounts for all of them.

Just remember the sculptures of famous Edgar Degas. After I saw the "Black Swan" movie, ballet got a completely new dimension to me, especially when it comes to costumes. Before I knew ballet costumes took over the runways. This is how designers envisioned wearable ballet costumes. Ne znam zašto, ali balet me je nekako oduvijek privlačio. Ova vrsta gracioznosti, jednostavnosti i elegancije pokreta može se vidjeti samo u ovom plesu. Upravo to je razlog zašto je balet neiscrpna inspiracija za sve vrste umjetnosti. Dovoljno je sjetiti se skulptura poznatog Edgar Degasa. Nakon što sam pogledao film "Black Swan", balet je dobio potpuno novu dimenziju za mene, pogotovo kad je riječ o kostimima. Nisam se niti okrenuo bale...
