Basically the first sentence of the article from CNN summarizes the story. " Nigeria has set its sights on making multibillion-dollar oil deals with China amid peace moves with militants." The article from Newstin if a report on the CNN article. In Nigeria, the lawmakers are making money making changes, as the government is preparing to make a multi million dollar deal with China. This deal was rumored in September to be at around thirty million dollars! When asked the Nigerian minister didn't say very much. He did say "There is no deal yet. We all know the appetite of the Chinese for energy, a huge population, and so on; and they're looking for oil and Nigeria has a lot of it." At the same time this is happening the government is having to deal with bandits whos attacks have cost the oil economy millions of dollars. But these militants are laying down their weapons in exchange for jobs and a pardon. Both articles have pictures although the Newstin picture is slightly smaller than the one on the CNN article. When I clicked on the link on the Newstin article, the CNN article came up. So it is a basically a summary of the CNN article. Both articles were clear, but the CNN article defiantly had more detail and the Newstin article was a basic summary. However, both were easy to read and gave me a main point and I could understand it. They both came from the same point and were very well written. I think this is great for not only the Chinese government (the article was not focused on this point), but also for the Nigerian government and the Nigerian militants. The government is making peace with the people who have been making trouble in their country for who knows how long. The government can then make a deal with these militants that have been cutting oil production in Nigeria by over a million barrels a day, by give them jobs and pardoning them, in exchange for them laying down their weapons. Everyone wins.
