A court in Milan is considering charges of corruption against Eni and Shell
in a controversial oil deal that led to Nigeria losing an estimated $6bn.
The campaign group Global Witness has calculated the OPL 245 deal in 2011
deprived Nigeria of double its annual education and healthcare budget.
Eni and Shell are accused of knowing the money they paid to Nigeria would be used for bribes.
The Italian and Anglo-Dutch energy giants deny any wrongdoing.

A fast-food outlet in South Africa has been ordered to withdraw a commercial
showing an African explorer conquering Europe in the 17th Century.
The advertising board said colonialism was "traumatic" for Africans
and was "not open for humorous exploitation".
Chicken Licken said the advertisement was "tongue-in-cheek"
and meant to create "pride" among South Africans.

The advert shows a young African, Big Mjohnana, leaving his village in 1650
to conquer his hunger for adventure.
His boat finally docks in Holland in 1651, and he says in South African slang:
"Hello, white folk. I like this place. I think I'll call it Eu...rope,"
before stomping his spear to signal the land's conquest.
The commercial ends with an elderly African man in a bow tie
leaving a Chicken Licken outlet, and saying:
"And that is the legend of Big John."
