Nigeria To Buy T129 Helicopters

President of the Turkish aircraft manufacturer TUSAS Temel Kotil announced the conclusion of a contract for the supply of six combat helicopters T129 ATAK to Nigeria.

Turkey is planning further cooperation in the defense industry with Nigeria, its sixth largest trading partner in Africa. With a new defense industry cooperation agreement, Turkish companies will gain a legal basis for arms and ammunition sales.

The agreement, which was approved by the Turkish Parliament’s Foreign Relations Committee on July 1, was signed on October 22, 2021 during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Abuja. The agreement lays out the principles of mutual cooperation in the defense industry between the two counties or government agencies or private organizations approved by the parties.

These routine agreements that Turkey has signed with several African countries help Turkish defense contractors focus on target markets. Weapons sales and trade deals are the highlights of Erdoğan’s visits to African countries as the Turkish lira depreciates at home. Apart from marketing military drones produced by his son-in-law, Erdoğan lobbies for the sale of armored vehicles manufactured by financially struggling Turkish-Qatari venture BMC, whose Turkish owners are businessmen close to Erdoğan.

Turkey does not put forward any political or human rights conditions in the sale of weapons and ammunition. This is convenient for African countries that have to complete lengthy, complicated procedures and secure permission from their respective parliaments to buy weapons from Western partners.

According to recent reports in the Turkish media, Nigeria has been willing to buy military drones from Baykar, of which Erdoğan’s son-in-law is a partner. Baykar allegedly sold a Bayraktar Akıncı, an unmanned aerial combat vehicle (UACV), to Nigeria, but this was not officially announced. Military experts have not confirmed this, either. Baykar has not disclosed its drone sales to the public for a while on the pretext of trade secrets. If there is a large increase in Turkey’s defense industry exports to a country, it is believed by experts to have been due to the sale of drones.

There is currently a $2 billion volume of trade between Turkey and Nigeria. Murat Ceran, who attended the committee meeting representing the Presidency of the Defense Industry (Savunma Sanayii Başkanlığı, SSB), stated that Turkey sold two offshore patrol vessels (OPV) in 2021 to Nigeria.

BREAKING::::NEWS::::

Co-founder of SA Satanic Church resigns, now believes in Christ after Christians 'show him what unconditional love is' and he encounters a visitation from the Lord Jesus Christ!

Riaan Swiegelaar, co-founder of the South African Satanic Church (SASC), has resigned from his post as presiding priest of the controversial church on 30 May 2022. He also resigned from the church council, as well as dissolved his membership with the organization.

In a live video broadcast on Facebook, Swiegelaar said, “To be very honest, I initially thought I’d quietly slip out the backdoor and I didn’t think people would be so interested in why I do what I do.” "

He said he engaged in Satanism because it resonated with him at the time, and because he was “very sad and very broken, without realising it”. "I think a lot of people resonate at Satanism when they come from a very broken place." "

"I have met thousands of Satanists over the past year and they are extremely hurt and broken—that's the one thing they all have in common," Swiegelaar added.

He burst into tears and added, "To this day, there have only been four Christians in my entire life who have shown me what unconditional love is. "

Adele Frey, one of the people who supported him, messaged him, saying she just did a simple thing by showing him love. "People, showing love for others is everything. You showed me the love of Christ, I saw it in you".

He adds that Frey showed him unconditional love at a time when he was an "ugly monster", and when he adopted Christians who do that. "You showed me unconditional love. "

In mid-May, Swiegelaar conducted his last interview as a member of the SASC on the CapeTalk radio station, not knowing it would be his last radio interview as an oldie.

Swigelaar said in the interview that he does not believe that Jesus Christ exists. A lady from the radio team walked up to him after the interview and hugged him in a way he had never been hugged before.

A week later, he saw on WhatsApp that the woman is a Christian. "I never had a Christian do that. I have never experienced a Christian show so much love towards a self knowing satanist. "

"And it stayed with me, though. "

A week later, when Swiegelaar had to perform a ritual to see "what the next phase is to gain more influence and power", he did the ritual and during the ritual Jesus appeared before him.

He said, "If you are Jesus, you have to prove it. "Dizzy says he is overflowing with the most beautiful love and energy. “And I recognized it right away, like the woman at the radio station pointed it out to me. "

"This is how I recognized the love of Christ. "

Dizzy expands more about his experience in the live Facebook video that's over 30 minutes long.

Impostor said he would not answer queries from the media, and that the video is his testimony.

A press release by the SASC, whose member number according to Swiegelaar is growing by the day, reads: "We, as the SASC Council, want to thank Swiegalaar for his contribution, both as the pastor and the co-founder of the SA Satanic Church. We wish him success in all his future endeavors. "

Nigerian Man Celebrates Sallah With His 3 Wives and 19 Children



A Nigerian man identified as Baba Lawal recently shared photos of his three wives and 19 children. Lawal who hails from Kwara State is currently a teacher at Umar Bn Khattab College of Education Kaduna. The father of 19 doubles as a Secretary at Kaduna State Hisbah, according to his Facebook bio.


The photos which he shared on the platform showed him posing alongside his family. His wives and daughters rocked same attire while himself and his son's wore same attire. The faces of his wives could not not seen as they all wore a veil to cover up all parts of their bodies except their eyes.

3D Locally fabricated gun used to kill formal Japanese prime minister


A high-profile politician gets killed by a man emerging from a crowd, wielding a handmade firearm so roughly made it’s wrapped up in tape.

The 40-centimeter-long (16-inch) firearm that was used to kill former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday as he campaigned for his ruling party in Nara, western Japan, looked crude, more like a propellant made of pipes taped together and filled with explosives.

A raid of the suspect’s home, a one-room apartment in Nara, turned up several such guns, police said. Unlike standard weapons, handmade guns are practically impossible to trace, making an investigation difficult.

Such weapons are rarely used in Japan, where most attacks involve stabbings or dousing a place with gasoline and setting it ablaze, or running haywire on the street in a vehicle.

The attack showed gun violence cannot be totally eliminated even in a country where tough gun laws mean it is nearly unheard of for citizens to buy or own firearms.

There have been some cases in recent years where people illicitly made weapons themselves in Japan. But still, gun crime is very rare in Japan: last year there were 10 shooting incidents, eight involving gangsters, according to police data. One person was killed and four wounded.

"The making of guns with a 3D printer and the manufacturing of bombs can nowadays be learned off the internet from anywhere in the world," said Mitsuru Fukuda, a Nihon University professor specialised in crisis management and terrorism.

"It can be done in two to three days after obtaining parts such as pipes," said Fukuda, who analysed images of the gun used in Abe's shooting.

Video images showed the assailant fired at Abe with a device that had a pistol grip and what appeared to be two pipes covered in black electrical tape. Police arrested a 41-year-old man at the scene and said he had admitted shooting Abe; the suspect was later identified as Tetsuya Yamagami.

"Anyone with a basic understanding of how guns work could have made it with minimum knowledge," said firearms commentator Tetsuya Tsuda, adding that it may not even have taken half a day to manufacture the weapon used in the attack.

Japanese media said on Saturday the suspect had told investigators he had searched online for instructions how to make firearms, and ordered parts and gunpowder on the internet as well.

The gun measured 40 by 20 centimetres (15.7 by 7.9 inches), and was made of materials such as metal and wood, officials from the Nara prefectoral police told reporters on Friday.

SIMPLE TO MAKE

"Crude, yet lethal, craft-produced (...) firearms such as this are simple to make," said N. R. Jenzen-Jones, an arms and munitions intelligence specialist of the Australia-based Armament Research Services.

The images of the firearm showed that an electrical wire passed through the cap on the end of each pipe.

That pointed to the use of an electric firing mechanism, Jenzen-Jones said.

"The electrical initiation method (...) was likely selected in this case as conventional cartridges are much harder to acquire in Japan than in many other regions," he added.

There have been several cases in recent years of people arrested in Japan for illegally making firearms.

In 2018, police arrested a 23-year-old man in the western city of Himeji for making a gun and more than 130 bullets at home. Also that year, police detained a 19-year-old university student in Nagoya city for manufacturing explosives as well as a gun with help of a 3D printer.

In 2014, police arrested a 27-year-old man for illegally possessing handguns made by a 3D printer in Kawasaki, south of Tokyo.

The issue of illicit weapons making is not confined to Japan. For example, officials in Spain found a replica assault rifle and small arms in a raid of an illegal factory discovered to be producing 3D-printing weapons in April 2021.

okeysoninv:
what is special military operation ? a war that even ur chief of army staff , forceful mobilization of people of donbass is what you called special operation. 65% of Russia land forces are fighting . what is remaining is general mobilization of reservist and volunteers from Russia, which will start from next week. you people should rest for once, Russia is just a teddy bear with nuclear weapons

Who told you 65% of Russian forces is on ground. Why will you be in one village and be analyzing what you don't know.
Who told you general mobilization will start next week, which news said it.
Let's stop blind analysis.
Every military special operation must have generals involved because junior soldiers can't led themselves. Even boko haram fight in north has participation of generals.
You made mention of chief of army staff, you think is Nigeria were chief of army staff sit in the office.
Even the US chief of army staff was in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Please use google, its for educational purposes.

‘Zelensky is a puppet and a very stupid one, I would add. And it’s obvious he’s taking the Ukrainian people down the road of suicide’. Former US Army Officer and Counterterrorism Analyst Scott Bennett says the Ukrainian government is being led by the United States, and President Zelensky was chosen as less competent and easily manageable.

He also says provocation from NATO countries is a ‘bluff because one thing this conflict has revealed is that NATO and the Western countries are incapable of fighting a land war against the professional Russian army’. According to the expert, the only war they can make is informational as they’re afraid of direct conflict with Russia.

The methods and why the United States and NATO are waging an information war against Russia are described in our film Russians Cancelled.

Meanwhile ����⚡Volodin stated that up to $500 billion worth of Western assets were blocked on the territory of the Russian Federation, which counterbalances the $300 billion of Russian reserves blocked in the West.

In the event of the confiscation of the property of Russian oligarchs in the West, Russia will begin to confiscate the property of Western businesses in Russia.

The West is "trapped" because of sanctions against Russia - The Hill

The sanctions, which were conceived to destroy the Russian economy, contribute to an increase in world prices for raw materials and energy carriers and lead to an increase in Moscow's income, the newspaper writes.

And if the Russian ruble has recovered sharply, then, for example, the Japanese yen (the third largest currency in terms of trade) has fallen to a 20-year low against the dollar. And all because Japan followed the example of the United States in sanctions against the Russian Federation.

In addition, frenzied inflation and supply disruptions deprive Western corporations of profits and eventually affect ordinary consumers, the newspaper writes.

An Indian State Executioner and his attire in 1903. See how Proud he is of Killing others.
Humans we really have a BRAIN problem.

It is estimated that an average executioner in the 18th and 19th century has killed about 400 people minimum.
The most prolific British executioner of the 20th century was Albert Pierrepoint, whose father and uncle were also hangmen. As many as 600 were despatched by him, including hundreds convicted of war crimes. He considered his work as “sacred” and the “supreme mercy”.

He is dressed in full armour. He holds a sword in his left hand and a shield in his right.

Love is such a beautiful thing and one woman who is still hoping to experience it in a relationship with a man is Kamaliza Verena.

The 70-year-old has all her life never been in an intimate relationship with a man and has also never had a boyfriend, she has opened up that she lives a painful and difficult life as she has been unable to get a boyfriend for once.

She says: "I'm still a virgin. I never got married, I have never slept with a man and I don't know how it feels."

The lady who is all alone - she has no parents and siblings - save for a little girl who helps her has a face tumor. "I'm living a painful life because I'm always sick. I lack money for treatment..." Verena stated that it was her desire to settle down after clocking 20 but she has been unlucky with love.

In a touching video, the lady who is still optimistic about finding true love before she dies stated that she has always been a loving person.

The woman had always wanted to settle down after clocking 20 but hasn't been lucky.

Over the course of the last couple days, a few-second-long video of the speech of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been actively disseminated on social media. In the video, Zelenskyy says that he advises everyone to use drugs, but not heavy drugs and taking drugs is the mode in which we live, and the energy obtained in this way is enough for him until the evening.

Next to Zelenski, white powder reminiscent of Cocaine can be seen on the desk.

The video was also posted by the Georgian Facebook users “Fantina” and “Lasha Menteshashvili.”

Journalist interview with Zelensky:

Journalist: You are very active; people in political circles say that you are “on cocaine.”

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Excellent. No, I’m on something white, but it’s just a white chair, not cocaine. I do not take drugs; I smell coffee because I am addicted to coffee; I really love coffee.

Current operational situation in the escalation zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is one of the world's most enduring conflicts, the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip reaching 54 years of conflict. Various attempts have been made to resolve the conflict as part of the Israeli–Palestinian peace process.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict dates back to the end of the nineteenth century. In 1947, the United Nations adopted Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.

On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was created, sparking the first Arab-Israeli War. The war ended in 1949 with Israel’s victory, but 750,000 Palestinians were displaced and the territory was divided into 3 parts: the State of Israel, the West Bank (of the Jordan River), and the Gaza Strip.

Over the following years, tensions rose in the region, particularly between Israel and Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Following the 1956 Suez Crisis and Israel’s invasion of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria signed mutual defense pacts in anticipation of a possible mobilization of Israel troops. In June 1967, following a series of maneuvers by Egyptian President Abdel Gamal Nasser, Israel preemptively attacked Egyptian and Syrian air forces, starting the Six-Day War. After the war, Israel gained territorial control over the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt; the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan; and the Golan Heights from Syria. Six years later, in what is referred to as the Yom Kippur War or the October War, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise two-front attack on Israel to regain their lost territory; the conflict did not result in significant gains for Egypt, Israel, or Syria, but Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat declared the war a victory for Egypt as it allowed Egypt and Syria to negotiate over previously ceded territory. Finally, in 1979, following a series of cease-fires and peace negotiations, representatives from Egypt and Israel signed the Camp David Accords, a peace treaty that ended the thirty-year conflict between Egypt and Israel.

In 2013, the United States attempted to revive the peace process between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank. However, peace talks were disrupted when Fatah—the Palestinian Authority’s ruling party—formed a unity government with its rival faction Hamas in 2014. Hamas, a spin-off of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood founded in 1987 following the first intifada, is one of two major Palestinian political parties and was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the United States in 1997.

In the summer of 2014, clashes in the Palestinian territories precipitated a military confrontation between the Israeli military and Hamas in which Hamas fired nearly three thousand rockets at Israel, and Israel retaliated with a major offensive in Gaza. The skirmish ended in late August 2014 with a cease-fire deal brokered by Egypt, but only after 73 Israelis and 2,251 Palestinians were killed. After a wave of violence between Israelis and Palestinians in 2015, Palestinian President Mahmoud.

In August and September 2020, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and then Bahrain agreed to normalize relations with Israel, making them only the third and fourth countries in the region—following Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994—to do so. The agreements, named the Abraham Accords, came more than eighteen months after the United States hosted Israel and several Arab states for ministerial talks in Warsaw, Poland, about the future of peace in the Middle East. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas rejected the accords; Hamas also rejected the agreements.

"The conflict in Palestine is on the rise.
�Arab media reported that the Israeli air force carried out an air strike on the base of the Hamas movement in the city of anKhan Yunis in the Gaza Strip.

�Israeli media report that Israeli aircraft were hit by anti-aircraft missiles during the operation.

Humanitarian passage is a rule of modern warfare and anyone can come in and out of non besieged city. Kyiv isn't besieged, Russia announced withdrawal of troops in parts of kyiv just to establish the rules of military engagement according to modern warfare.
Make your research well.

Russia invasion has been the recent trend with western media publishing the banners of her defeat in Ukraine.
Fact check: if Russia is greatly losing, why is Ukraine losing territories and always asking for weapons.
Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe by land mass and analysis suggest that demilitarization of a country as big as Ukraine wouldn't be a month job as Russia has taken over many regions in Ukraine which has prompted the kyiv leadership to always beg for more weapons.

Russia, India, China (RIC) make up about 40% of the world's population, about 45% of the world's wheat export market, over 45% of nuclear power plants, over 66% of the iron market and over 70% of nuclear weapons control these three people.

From this analysis, Russia and it's Nuclear allies can militarily measure up with the west in military and economy. Therefore it has been very difficult on international politics to bring down Russia economy with western sanctions as Rubles has risen to highest height since November 2021.

The following is a statement from a NATO country: ����⚡️Western sanctions against Russia do not work, as evidenced by the ruble's exchange rate, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki says.

Countries are signing up to buy gas in rubles and it is expected that rubles will gain new heights.
���� The Vatican Bank transferred 10 million euros to buy rubles from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in payment for gas supplied by Russia, media report

Everything was done according to the scheme established by the government of the Russian Federation.

Sanctions against Russia has affected more western countries than Russia itself.
�� In London, protests are erupted due to the price of gas and electricity, protesters seek the resignation of Prime Minister Johnson.

This is the beginning of the New world order, which Russia and United States is competing who leads.
Russia and China has more allies as much as you can imagine.
60% of African and Asian counties are indebted to either Russia/China/India.
New allies like Hungary, Serbia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and many more have rejected United States and western sanctions against Russia.

The New order has just began.

Hope uzodinma acted so unreasonable. I don't support Rochas but I still believe he deserves respect as a formal governor and serving senator.
No accomplishment for the present IMO governor but yet he makes undue troubles and raises unnecessary bad attention to himself.
