Monday, its biggest drop since November 2008. The article blamed a worldwide
dumping of emerging market assets in the face of a resurgent dollar and
falling oil prices.

the MSCI Frontier Market which includes Nigeria dropped by 0.88% as the sell
off intensified. MSCI Emerging Market Index also dropped by 1.46% Monday.
