Chinese Poly Technologies Partners With Denel To Build Naval Vessels For South Africa


https://www.defenseworld.net/uploads//news/big/denel_sig_1474438884.jpg
Denel and Poly Technologies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to join forces in SA’s maritime rejuvenation.
Poly Technologies aims to take a stake in the Simons Town shipyard and join Denel in constructing three naval vessels. The strategic alliance was signed on 16 September by Denel’s acting Group CEO Zwelakhe Ntshepe and the Vice President of Poly Technologies Inc, Liu Jianmin at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) exhibition at Air Force Base Waterkloof.
Poly Technologies is likely to make an investment in the recapitalization of the Simons Town dockyard as part of its management takeover by Denel Integrated Systems and Maritime (Denel ISM). Denel officials declined to give the figure of the Chinese investment and a press statement from Denel only said that the two state owned companies would combine to collaborate in the rejuvenation and growth of the local maritime sector. More immediately, the two companies will collaborate in the construction of three naval vessels for the SA Navy.
Poly Technologies is involved in almost every defence sector including dockyard construction, ship building, tank and armoured vehicle manufacturing, and fighter aircraft production.
Denel did say that it would build three vessels for the South African navy with Poly Technologies in either Simons Town or Durban. This will presumably be if Poly Technologies wins the SA Navy’s Projects Biro and Hotel for hydrographic, inshore and offshore patrol vessels.
The designs Poly Technologies is offering include a Hydrographic Survey Vessel (HSV43 4300T), which will have an overall length of 100.9 m and a displacement of 4 300 tons.
I strongly advice d RSA not to fall into dat Chinese trap.dey just wat to steal ur technology

The Nigerian Police Force yesterday faulted the Amnesty International Report published on 20th September, 2016, captioned “Nigeria: You Have Signed Your Death Warrant” Special Police Squads ‘get rich’ torturing detainees and demanding bribes in exchange for freedom” saying it is not only untrue but also a campaign of calumny.
A statement from Force headquarters signed by DCP Don Awunah in response to the report said, “The Nigeria Police Force after a careful study of the report wishes to state categorically that the report in its entirety is misleading, a clear misrepresentation of facts, unverified accounts and absolute distortion of the current situation in Special Anti Robbery Squad [SARS] throughout the country.
“The report is evidently the characteristic mindset and pattern of Amnesty International to deride and castigate public institutions especially in developing countries like Nigeria.
Noting that “The Amnesty International’s Nigeria researcher, Damian Ugwu’s choice of words in describing the operations of SARS, portrays the researcher’s apparent ignorance of the rules of engagement of SARS and the laws regulating criminal investigation in Nigeria, Awunah said, “The researcher deliberately misconstrued the cautionary words, a prerequisite for suspects to sign before voluntary statement is taken from them as “death warrant”.
“For avoidance of doubt, word of caution is in accordance to Judges Rule 5, which states that, “I have decided to make complaint against you in the court of law; do you wish to say anything? You are not obliged to say anything but remember that whatever you say shall be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence”.

Egypt to Buy 46 MiG-29M combat aircraft in $2 Billion deal


Speculation over who Mikoyan was building 46 brand-new MiG-29M jets for has come to a end with Egypt being revealed as the customer.

The MiG-29 is a twin-engine jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union, the MiG-29, along with the larger Sukhoi Su-27, was developed to counter new American fighters such as the F-15 Eagle and F-16.

The MiG-29M was developed as an advanced variant of the MiG-29, formerly named “MiG-33”, it was originally designed by Mikoyan in the Soviet Union during the mid-1980s.

The Moscow Times has reported that Russian newspaper Vedomosti cited two unidentified aviation industry sources. According to one of Vedomosti’s sources, the deal for the 46 MiG-29 fighter jets will cost up to $2 billion.

The Syrian Air Force ordered 24 MiG-29M/M2s however in July 2012 at the Farnborough Air Show, Russia announced it would not deliver weapons, including combat aircraft, to Syria until the crisis there ends.

In May 2013, RSK MiG’s director general, Sergei Korotkov, said that the company plans to sign a contract to deliver “more than 10” MiG-29 M/M2 with Syria and that Syrian delegation was in Moscow to discuss terms and deadlines of a new contract supplying fighter jets to Syria.

In November 2013, it was reported that Egypt and Russia were negotiating an order of 24 MiG-29M/M2s for the Egyptian Air Force. In April 2015, Egypt instead signed a contract, worth up to $2 billion, for 50 MiG-35 fighters.
wen i posted dis month back dey said Egypt bought d mig 29m and not mig 35
Crime › 6 Christian Migrants Thrown Overboard By Captain by giles14(op): 3:21pm On Sep 23, 2016
Cameroonian boat captain and his second-in-command allegedly beat and then tossed six Christian migrants overboard because they thought that their prayers were bringing storms, say Spanish prosecutors.
The trial, which started Monday, concerns an incident that took place on December 5, 2014, when a small vessel carrying 57 asylum seekers on its way from Morocco to Spain was engulfed in a storm. The captain of the ship, a Cameroonian Muslim man known only as Alain N.B., spotted a Nigerian pastor leading prayers for the safety of all on board...........

Culture › Re: Re: Origin Of Delta Igbo Indisputable - Uwuechue by giles14(m): 3:44pm On Sep 22, 2016
Afriifa:
I will like to state that the people of eka and agbor have always guarded their culture with fiercely in the face of all oppositions.

We as eka people know where we come from and we are proud of our origin, we have a long history of kingship and culture that is why many people will not let us be, it is not new for a tribe to have two or more ancestory , e. g . take itshekiri, they have both benin and yoruba ancestory, but that does not make them benin or yoruba.

Today, they are know as itshekiris. but the founding father of their tribe was the a benin prince called iginua, son of oba olua of benin . we as ika people of agbor and owa will not wish to be drawn into stupid arguements with those who do not know our history and who do not know our culture and whose sole arguements rely on nearness of language as a proof of where a
people come from , if he is a historian then he or she will know that changes in language can occur due to large migrations
or trade or due to other factors.

Please can any one tell me what agbor means in igbo language ? going back to history agbor was called ogungunagbon or agbon , which means earth in benin
language and the british changed it to agbor in 1906 . ,most eka founders or founders of agbon were benin princes and people from ishan land in ancient times and later other groups of migrants came from igbo land , some from yorubaland e. t. c .

It will interest you to note that most of agbor and ika culture and traditions came from benin and edo areas . we call GOD- oselobue , we believe in ehi as our guardian spirit as the benin do, we perfom festivals like igue - new year , ogbanigbe , osi-ezi and ugboze. we dress like binis and maintain same dances like ojerima, okangan and uje like binis, our traditional gods are same as theirs like ovia, uhunmwunde, idigun, olokun e. t. c . we believe our kings are devine beings from the lineage of olokun
and oselobue.

Our chiefthancy titles are same as benin, iyase, obasogie, obaseki , ihondor , ihama, ezomor , ologbosere et. c. our towns are divided into ebon (umu), idumu and ogbe, in agbor there are two languages spoken ozara and ika , ozara is edoid while ika is a mix of bini and igbo , each town has her
history of founding fathers and they are well kept, there are still some titles that if you want to take in some villages today in agbor you must go to benin , where the original founder came from to collect things and receive blessings of approval.

It will interest you to note that all ika and agbor kings are benin princes and the present dein of agbor is same royal blood family with the omonoba of benin. but all these do not make us binis, although in the past we bore benin tribal marks ,but today we are eka people , we are not binis
or igbos , but we know where most of our ancestors came from , no proper ika man will want to be refered to as igbo, but properly as ika people . we the ika people
share both igbo and bini cultures that is why we still have igbo names like ngozi, okechukwu and the likes , but we still have our benin names too like irabor, obaigbena, ovia, osagie etc. this is our heritage and we are proud of it, looking at my family history
of about 800 years i saw all my ancestors were having benin names from omigie, agbontaen, ehiabor, imade, osaigbovou,
efeizomor, okundaye , ebie, ogbe, e. t. c , so one day i asked my father why and he told me that our fore-father was the son of a
prince from benin,and that our people from our village in idumu-ezomor were children of ezomor the great warrior general from
benin who assisted oba esigie of benin to quell the ida war.

Some times it is good for people to consult natives of a place and ask them of their history , before the write on it. anioma is a big place , i know the igbo language plays a part in anioma history, but not all aniomas migrated from igboland and their are about 11 languages spoken there like ozara, ika, olokumi ( old yoruba), igalla,
aboh, etc . that is the reason why no proper ika man will join any group like ohaneze, we have our own group called the ika group
,while we support anioma ,we also believe that those who can trace their ancestory to igboland should join the group, but we will
like to say we the agbor and ika people should be left alone as we are a seperate people called ika.

I am happy that this is bearing fruit as on delta radio there is now
news in ika language as a different languge, ikas have commenced writing the bible in
ika language and right now the gospel of mark, luke , mathew and john have been published and we have books on ika languge right now ,during the colonial times
our people resisted the celebration of igbo day in ikaland, i want to state that the agbor people even though we have cultural afinities with some of our neighbours like ogwashi, ubulu-uku , asaba.

Crime › Re: Pandemonium As Female Student Turns Into Snake After Being Dropped By A Nigerian by giles14(m): 3:38pm On Sep 22, 2016
gbolakpine:
There was pandemonium at the University of Kwazulu Natal(UKZN) Howard Campus on Wednesday night after a female student(name withheld) turned into a huge snake shortly after being dropped off at her hostel residence by a suspected Nigerian Blesser.

One of the victim’s buddies who witnessed EVERYTHING said:

“It all happened in a flash, she disembarked from the flashy BMX x6 and I saw her going to her room. I followed her to her room as I wanted to hear how her date was like when blood curling screams stopped me dead in my tracks. I quickly recovered and kicked the door open and up to now I don’t believe what I witness with my two eyes. She turned into a reptile on her bed, right before my very own eyes.”

We are told that the ‘snake’ slithered away from the hostel room as befuddled and bedazzled spectators watched in utter disbelief- into the nearby bushes and that was the end of it.

The University authorities have given strict warnings to their female students about hanging out with blessers but they conceded that at the end of the day these are adults and the decisions of who to associate with, ultimately rests with the individual.

Reached for a comment, KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson, Eugene Msomi said a case docket will be opened and the unusual occurrence would be investigated right to the end though he admitted that they were in a bit of a quandary as to how best proceed with the case as it fell outside the normal scope of their operations.
