NIGERIA AND GAS - The Conundrum subsists.

I have commented so much about Nigeria, electrical power, gas, coal etc, that short of repeating myself, I find comfort in propagating views expressed by other analysts. The following written in 2013 by Raj Kulasingam comes in handy.
Enjoy, if that is even possible.
On gas flaring, Raj referred to
A GLOBAL LEAGUE OF SHAME:
Exerpt -
"Nigeria has been flaring gas since oil companies began production in the 1960’s. According to the World Bank, Nigeria flared 14.6 billion cubic metres of natural gas in 2011. Nigeria was only second to Russia ( a clear winner at 37.4 billion cubic metres) in the international league of shame of countries that flare gas. The more surprising fact is that Uncle Sam (USA) flared 7.1 billion cubic metres and was fifth in this league of shame (behind Russia, Nigeria, Iran and Iraq). . "
