I think its high time the Nigerian Government reviewed its Foreign relation Policies with other countries especially South Africans . Its very embarassing hearing that common south africa is seizing nigeria's money , for what. Who the hell do dey tink dey are . I tink they are now biting more than they can chew , let's remind them that their multi national companies are very present here and if they don't return dos cash dey hav seized , MTN , DSTV , SHOP RITE , STANBIC IBTC and many more south African companies here in Nigeria will definitely pay the money back to the Nigerian Govt.

Raiders, do you have to call the op names? I'm on the ops side, countries do this, call it laundering or 'lundaring', its not today buying munition with cash started and everyone knows SA is the hub for ammunition sales in Africa! They will return the money, when dia gragra cools down.... Is it not the same way that they apologized after embarrassing and deporting Nigerian travelers in their country?

who are they fooling sef, they should better not bite off more than they can chew.

its against SA and most countries including Nigeria laws to carry more than 10k dollars for individual and 100k for organization into a country. I was just angry at the op because what he wrote makes no sense and dumb. He is encouraging corruption. Governments in the world dont do transactions between themselves in cash. They have so many means of payment. The Nigeria system is corrupt and flaw; this is the reason US government don't want to do arm business deal with Nigeria. Some Nigeria government officials are using this boko haram insurgency to make money for themselves. If that money was discovered in any country it would also be sized by their government. The UK did it to both Ibori and Alamesigha. SA is not trying to win some cheap political scores from Nigeria. Our government should stop breaking other countries and Nigeria laws.

Hey Dumba*s maybe where you're from its ok to break Laws but, everywhere else its illegal to bring in such a large sum of money in cash, and second point is The company your Government was planing on buying weapons from is not even registered to sell weapons, this whole deal was illegal from the start. And you blame us for being pissed off about it? We don't break your laws we respect your rules and we do business accordingly. We respect you and then you come to our country and sh*t on our laws and expect us to smile about it?

If Nigeria had approached our Government or went to the many *Registered* legitimate Arms dealers in S.A things would have been completely different, We know the kind of problems Nigeria is facing right now and we wouldn't have blocked you from buying Arms from us if you had done this properly.

so you are with the Op in beating empty chest and making empty threat :.... !!

I , as a responsible citizen of this great Nigeria , even thank ZA for bringing a cold war that can challenge Nigeria towards greatness but coward Nigeria fails in accepting this beautiful duel that can revolutionised the whole of Africa !!!

You think Nigeria will just trample Upon ZA businesses by Presidential Order .... Naijarians ... Taaa ..... You will face many world sanctions beyond $9.3m ...

CowardNigeria always giving ZA the opportunity to put African Joke on US !! Mtchewww !!

Because there is none of that in Nigeria, they forget SA is not Nigeria, they think what apply in Nigeria does not apply in SA.

Buffoon, An allegation of money laundering is simply that until proven otherwise. Instead of you to admit that your government is looking for ways to fill their treasury or are pissed of because a bunch of your gullible citizens troop to a pastor in Naija looking for miracles and lost their lives.

The money ($5.7 million) came from the government and was transferred to a "private" SA company that could not fulfill their obligation to procure weapons because their license expired in May 2014. A "covert" procurement or arms is not necessarily illegal when you have an "unofficial" embargo of procuring weapons by the so called World powers.

They were asked to return the money and in the process of returning money back to Nigeria, SA customs (government of S) seizes the money en route on the suspicion that "it was not declared" and not necessarily that they had any evidence that this was money laundering.

If this is the case isn't it sensible to follow diplomatic protocol and give reasonable course for the explanation of the funds and if deemed sufficient and not illegal, return funds back


A cheap attempt to score points for your Euro/Western trade masters and a terribly flimsy attempt to embarrass Nigeria due to this "imagined" rivalry btw the two countries.

You will pay the price. Naija no dey carry last.

You want beef, bring it!

Thats a fake story, your journalists are getting paid to write nonsense. There is no such thing in SA Media, The money is gone, nigeria will never get it back.

Centrifude:
that article only talks about the 5.7 million not the, 9.3 mill. And it only says City Press has released documents, it doesn't quote anything from the City Press article or provides a copy of the documents, and the ONSA who approved the deal is the one from Nigeria not South Africa, the South African Government didn't approve the deal, and why did they have to transport the deal in Cash? Nigeria has recently acquired Mi-35 Attack Helicopters from Russia and all the transactions were done Electronically, So what stopped them from doing the same thing when trying to buy weapons from S.A, It doesn't make sense.

There is no such story in our media. Pure Nigerian propaganda to make you sleep better at night.

yeah, right, Keep telling yourself things to help yourself sleep better at night.

Your post is very stup1d. Why are you encouraging money lundary by the Nigeria government officials. Don't you know its a medium to steal to money by government officials. Its against international laws to transports large amount of money. This is the reason my former governor James ibori is in jail. If Nigeria was an advanced country, GEJ would have been impeached based on this case alone. Its wrong for the government of Nigeria to break its own laws and the law of south Africa. How would you feel if the government of SA breaks the law of Nigeria?
