This morning world oil prices rose 46 cents to to $66.40 a barrel on concerns that elections may be disrupted by violence.

This evening a militant attack rocked government house in Bayelsa State. Outgoing Governor Goodluck Jonathan Goodluck is standing tomorrow as Vice President. All across Nigeria, opposition groups accused the authorities of abuses ahead of tomorrow’s elections, and the Supreme Court deepened confusion by allowing estranged VP Atiku Abubakar to run.

Monitors are spreading out and will be reporting in through Greenlightnigeria in the next few days. Based on last weekend’s experiences, getting reports back in was quick but we are preparing for a lot more trouble (the attack on government house in Bayelsa is, obviously, not a good sign) so it may take longer to get the full picture this weekend.
