Default Bad name...

Russia's energy company Gazprom and a state-owned nigerian company have started a joint venture. Rather naively called Nigaz.
Sounds like The Onion doesn't it?

"gaz" means gas in Russian. And "ni" is the first part of Nigeria, obviously. And yes, unfortunately it will be pronounced "niggers"..
