Nigeria having high terror related chatter.
This is a reason for concern. Nigeria and larger Africa absolutely do not need any part of the negative effects of this terror debacle.

U.S. and other Western interests in Nigeria are at risk of "terrorist attack", the United States embassy in Africa's top oil producer said on Thursday.
The official warning, in a message for U.S. citizens in Nigeria, gave few details, but said potential targets include official and commercial installations in the capital Abuja and the commercial city of Lagos.
"The U.S. Mission in Nigeria has received information that U.S. and other Western interests in Nigeria are currently at risk for terrorist attack," the statement said.
The threat information advised U.S. citizens to play an active role in their personal safety by reviewing their security practices.
Militant attacks on multi-billion dollars Western oil facilities in the Niger Delta are common, but there has never been any large scale terrorist attack on Western targets outside Africa's oil heartland.
Nigeria's Foreign Minister Ojo Maduekwe berated foreign diplomats on Wednesday over what he said were excessive concerns voiced by their countries about insecurity in the oil-producing southern delta region.
