LONDON, March 9 (Reuters) - Angolan and Nigerian crude was

offered lower on Monday amid reduced demand and a collapse in

benchmark crude prices.

* Trade remained subdued by the collapse in prices since

Friday, when OPEC and its allies failed to renew their output

deal. This has made Saudi Arabia crude better value, one trader

said.

* Angolan state oil company Sonangol cut its offer of

Cabinda loading April 23 to dated Brent plus $2.70, down 50

cents from a level reported on Friday.

* Some sellers have increased offers, a trader said,

describing the move as illogical given lower demand because of

the coronavirus outbreak and the collapse in Brent prices since

Friday's OPEC deal failure.

* Nigerian crude was also offered lower. Qua Iboe was

offered at dated Brent plus $2.10, 40 cents lower than the last

known offer level reported on March 2.
