Arms Deal: Plain facts to indicate that South Africa (SA) is playing a
dangerous diplomatic evil game against Nigeria.
*Only the politically naive in international relations would assume that
the seizure of funds have been accidental and procedural.
*The South African newspaper (City Press) confirmed today that
documents found on the two Nigerians and One Israeli had a sign off
end-user certificate personally issued by National Security Adviser,
Col. Sambo Dasuki meant for the arms transaction. The certificate
included the official list of items to be purchased:
Implication: The NSA office and relevant officials contacted SA hence
the certificate was issued and due process followed. Despite this, SA
seized the money and announced the transaction via the media.
*Fact: SA National Prosecuting Authority admitted according to City
Press that an invoice was raised in SA for helicopters and armaments
intended to be used in Nigeria with the $9.3m as the fund to
consummate the purchase.
Implication: since the arms invioce was raised in SA, the SA govt was
fully aware, yet it sent its customs, journalists and officials to way lay
the covet operatives. This was a premeditated diplomatic infraction
aimed deliberately at ridiculing Nigeria.
*On the second seizure of $5.7m, it's even more regrettable and un-
African
It is confirmed that Cererus, a duly registered arms company with the
SA National Arms Conventional Control Committee, officially received
R60m (sixty million rand) from a Nigerian company to buy arms, but
the company's registration expired shortly after the bank transaction.
The company applied for re-registration but SA refused to grant the
request, leaving the application to lie fallow for two months.
The company tried to effect a refund over the failed supply, but SA
govt stepped in and seized the money and frustrated the bank
transfer. If the first was cash, the second was through official bank
transaction.
*Implication: The SA govt deliberately denied the company re-
registrationn so it could seize the money and as planned release the
information to the media to achieve a hatched scheme to stand in the
way of Nigeria.
NOTE: these facts are incontrovertible. The only point that stands out
is the division in Nigeria where opposition and pro-opposition
elements work to denigrate Nigeria without objectively analysing the
situation.
The second deal was not a cash transaction, yet SA got a court to
order the seizure of the money.
ACTION: It is high time Nigeria took definite action against the SA and
their deliberate diplomatic infractions to frustrate our war on terror.
Nigerians will recall the Yellow Card diplomatic slap and how the FG
retaliation resolved the matter.
SA stand to lose more in the event of full diplomatic confrontation.
This is the time to hit back.
As usual, we will expert opposition elements and their colleagues to
support SA and their government. Their sponsored media associates
will start singing the familiar tune and SA will be further emboldened
to continue their ugly diplomatic infractions.

Fa fa foul, at the quoted.
Nigerians will lose more than Nigeria

@Op; the stalemate between Nigeria & SA is no longer new. What baffles me is Nigeria's attitude towards it...that's dvmb!!!

I would have known what to say If not that we have a government filled with thieves.How do you support/defend a corrupt government?

The hatred between South África and Nigeria is no news but I think Nigeria will have the last laugh.

Wish we could just reposition Nigeria and these countries will respect as a great nation!

eeehm is that true?

South Africa has finally decided to play dirty. All over the world arm purchase could be in two forms, either through the black market or open. Since the US ban Nigeria from purchasing arms through the open market due to passive human right abuses, the only option left for us is black market. But it seems Jacob Zuma with likely collaboration with opposition wants to use this as an opportunity to embarrass the government of Gej. The issue is the countless number of lives dying as a result of this insurgency not the dirty politics of south Africa and opposition that gets me worried. One way or the other we will get over this and when all is said and done SA should prepare for a pay back in full dose!

I totally agree with this analysis.
It is a fact that SA govt is not happy that Nigeria presently occupies the No.1 spot in terms of economy in the continent. All their efforts are geared towards making this feat a fluke.

The war against the insurgents is affecting the economy of the Northen Nigeria and as such it is affecting Nigeria. If it is allowed to spread to other parts, it might lead to a collapse of the economy. This will certainly make it easy for them to take back the No. 1 spot.

The first transaction was termed "money laundering" by those who don't understand the frustration of the military and also because the cash was "smuggled" into SA.

What of the transaction that went through Bank transfer?
Why was it blocked and seized? . It is either that the SA officials are out to sabotage the efforts of the Nigerian Govt. to get rid of these terrorists or that there is a mole in the system that is tipping them off.
I also hope that the opposition and the band wagon is not trying to score cheap political point with these security issues. If the terrorists succeed in their quest, there will be no Nigeria for the opposition to govern.

Let us jointly fight this war against terrorism in any ramifications: diplomatic, media, propaganda etc.

Nigeria shall rise again and the glory of the Lord shall reign supreme.
God bless Nigeria.

hmmmm

Don't know what our Nigeria intelligence outfits are doing to even this playing field.

How about start paying closer attention to MTN, MultiChoice and other South African investment/transactions in the country? Surely a careful perusal of these entities/transaction will reveal at least very minute infraction that can be deliberately blown out of proportion. "SA actions, should elicit equal (if not more) and opposite reaction from Nigeria."

That's how this game is played!

Why can't we develop our own weapons for Christ sake? ..ordinary Ak47 we can't develop ..nawa

Chief Zebrudaya, alias 4.30, "IF YOU WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND CHICKEN ARE PURSUE YOU, RUN, FOR YOU ARE DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CHICKEN ARE GERMINATE TEETH IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT NIGHT." Nigeria should be careful and obey international laws and protocols. The only reasonable man of South Africa, Mandella is dead and it seems that SA is now being pushed by some satanic spirit. Quietness and watchfulness will yield dividend for us.

Gbammmm!!! you've said it all...!!!

Nigerian govt should take a strong stand on SA. We can start by recalling our ambassador. Extend further to all their interests in Nigeria.
Why should we be playing soft game with a nation that is fighting us openly. It was reported and it is fact that South African president, Jacob Zuma is a close pal to one of Nigerian opposition presidential aspirant who lost out previously and is still eyeing the seat.
Well, no cause for alarm, we shall deal with them appropriately at the right time.

God Bless Nigeria.

that is what u get if u av a pussssy as a president.......Nigeria shud grow liver and first,recall her ambassador,sanction all SA firms(dstv,mtn,shoprite etc) in Nigeria. We need to make a statement NOW.

Let us not mistaken the money laundering going on by Nigerians to south Africa as a diplomatic fight against Nigerian govt by her south African counterpart. This is a clear case of stealing by those in the corridors of powers. This question we all should be asking is this; why must a sovereign nation like Nigeria resort to Drug and terrorists style of Arms purchase for goodness sake? Stealing by highly placed officials of the govt have been going on for long even b4 GEJ's administration. So what we are witnessing today is a continuation of what has been in existence. Though too bad.

Nigerian politicians have been stealing Billions of dollars and trillions of naira for ages and have hardly been caught in a case of money laundering. If you think Nigerian politicians don't have better avenue and banks to hide their loot but resort to laundering then in foreign country such as SA, you need to think again. This is a clear case of black market arm purchase by nigeria because of US embargo on active weapons by Nigeria due to passive human right abuses. SA is simply using the opportunity to embarrass Nigeria either as a result of pressure from the US or as a favour to the opposition giving the relationship between Zuma and Atiku or even as an avenue to weaken Nigerian economy true activities of BH. The truth will gradually come out.

I agree with u but dat doesn't mean we fold our arms and watch even our match take unnecessary steps against us. It's high time we'v taken measures to protect our interests. Y must we chicken out in any form of threat from intl community.

Pls can someone tell me why upon all developed countries to trade arms with, Nigeria chose SA. I believe there are countries out there seeking strong ties with Nigeria whom won't waste time to carry out any form of transaction that will benefit d country. Y wud they go back to trade with a known enemy. Are we so powerless that we still go back to lick an enemy's butt ? Giant of Africa yet we are left at d mercies of a nation dat just got free from apatheid era in purchasing arms.

SA believe the Nigerian leadership comprises spine less and gut less people. This is why they screw with this country without fear of a backlash.

SA politicians hold high stakes in most of these businesses operating in Nigeria and the bulk of their profits made right here in this country.

I wonder what some people are waiting for ?

One Thing am certain is that when Nigeria responds harshly, Zumas inner circle which has business interest in Nigeria will likely abandon him.

I wish you can create a thread about this sir. It is really painful not remembering that "a stitch in time saves nine"

All i'll say in my language is:

SA, ẹ ní ògùn arìnyà, ẹlọ njẹ aáyán

It happen in every field in Nigeria.
If you are a foreigner, you are an investor. But if you are a Nigerian, you are a business man.
I saw them begging foreigners to come and invest instead of putting themselves in a position of giving condition to foreigners who wish to invest.

Its going to be alright though.

The "progressives" in Nigeria already believe that Pst Ayo was either smuggling arms or laundering some money from or for Jonathan,

Nothing is gonna change that.

Their e-ghosts on Nairaland will not make comments on this kind of thread.

Time will tell.

But shame on all "progressives" who love the down fall of their nation simply because becasuse they hate <r. President.
