Nigeria And Ghana May Clash Over Stolen Nigerian Ship by Beaf: 5:49am On Oct 10, 2011
[size=14pt]Nigeria, Ghana may clash over stolen ship [/size]
Written by Dele Aderibigbe, Lagos Monday, 10 October 2011

There’s a looming diplomatic row  between the maritime regulatory authorities of Ghana and Nigeria as a marine tanker vessel, MT Kemepade, declared missing in Nigeria has been found in Ghana, slated for urgent scrapping.

Already, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has reportedly sent a protest letter to the Presidency, through the Federal Ministry of Transport, expressing its displeasure that a tanker vessel which was declared missing in the Lagos anchorage on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 had been found in a ship yard at Tema Habour in Ghana with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) number wipped off, contrary to laid down maritime norms.

International rules to which both Nigeria and Ghana subscribe to, stipulate that any vessel slated for scrapping must submit legitimate documents from its owners, past and present as well as the last certificating authority, all of which must be contacted for authentication, before any ship could be scrapped. A rule  which NIMASA insisted Ghana, deliberately or othrwise, refused to follow.

The Nigerian Tribune was told that when the MT Kemepade was reported missing by its owner, it also had one sailor on board at the time.

It was further gathered that in line with its statutory responsibility to ensure the safety and security of ships on Nigerian waters, the management of NIMASA had sent  signals to all neighbouring shipping and maritime regulatory authorities alerting them of the development and requesting for assistance, in case the vessel was sighted in their areas.

If we cannot beat them in football, this is an opportunity to show them.
Do we have any new naval ship that can take their navy out?

PR country - that was how Adoboli caused UBS $2.3b - always claiming to be clean!

The question you must ask yourselves is who have been undertaking piracy and hijacking of oil vessels in the West Coast of Africa? It's NIGERIANS. Maybe it has to be spelt for you.

This crime if true has Nigeria written all over it.

Nigerian criminals are over Ghana and Nigerian pirates are now becoming a menace to West African waters.

Re: Nigeria And Ghana May Clash Over Stolen Nigerian Ship by PROUDIGBO(m): 2:06am On Oct 11, 2011
If this is ascertained to be true, the only restitution the Ghanaian government can make to settle things, is to agree to an immediate swap of national football players: we take all their Black-Stars players to henceforth be playing for Nigeria, while they take our lot. And we'll even throw in $1million to complete the deal.

Deal? undecided
Re: Nigeria And Ghana May Clash Over Stolen Nigerian Ship by Litmus: 12:44pm On Oct 11, 2011
What I “like” about Ghana is the fact that ever since the world recognised the potential of Nigeria and their massive media machine kicked into gear to demonise Nigeria to ensure Nigeria dose not fulfil that potential, Ghana people who are always too willing to please the white man have typical jumped on the bandwagon. And now Ghana suddenly has no more thieves, criminals or murderers because all their thieves, criminals and murderers are Nigerians.
