Two of the four newly commissioned Ghana
Navy vessels have arrested a foreign Vessel,
Merchant Tanker, MADINA.
The vessel loaded with fuel is reported to have
been stolen from Nigeria.
The Ghana Navy received hint from its Nigerian
counterparts about the vessel and zoomed in to
make the arrest.
Director of Public Relations at the Ghana Armed
Forces, Colonel M’Bawine Atintande told Joy
News the vessel, MT MADINA was arrested on
Thursday at the Saltpond oil fields where it was
transferring fuel to another vessel.
He said they will hand over the ship to the port
authorities and legal action will be taken against
the perpetrators by the appropriate authorities.
He said armed guards have been placed on alert
at the oil fields to protect the vessels.

your link just ruined the standing of your navy. Because they had to rely on the intelligence of the Nigerian navy, to take action. And thanks to our superior tech and skills, we got the information and sent your never do well navy boys on a search for glory. I wish I could share links on how many times the Nigerian navyave had to clean up your mess. No. I don't have that time

I am one of those who with all my heart say Buhari must not be allowed to ruin Nigeria one more time.
Apart from his obsession for power and thirst for blood among other things, his weakness in articulation. is one of my reasons, for opposing him.The old tyrannical liar think we are all clueless.

Saying he would stabilize oil price is one example of such cloudlessness,

Any way, there is this so called "facebook asset declaration" by Buhari and I am impressed by his exhibition of intelligence.

He knows by saying that he has "at least one million Naira" in his account. that gullible Nigerians especially those who are driven by his "i am a poor man because I am not corrupt" brand of campaign.

The reaction of these gullible and clueless Nigerians would be like"
"Oh, behold him, our messiah, he is so innocent, so cute and so lovely! He's got only N1 Million in his account"

Buhari though dull, is smarter than many Nigerians especially Nairalanders.

Now, how much is "at least One Million"?
It is neither here no there.

Okay folks, here is the worth of Noblezone:

"I earn at least N10,000 annually"

What does that mean?

Anybody who believes Buhari is a just clueless.
If this man is as honest as he want us to believe, he should have told us, "at most ...." and not at least.
Does Buhari think we are all silly?

Besides, the amount in the account does not represent a man financial worth.


To all those who are all hoodwinked into this disaster waiting to happen, I wish you all the best.

However, I wish to let you all know that you are all clueless!!

hmm! I like that man wen dem dey call Buhari. I am really serious about wanting to vote for him come 2015. But the bad thing is that he may not win. The election registration exercise in APC states was not well conducted, necessary capturing materials were not deployed and the staffs always arrived late. In some local governments it was not even conducted. Sincerely men. I would have loved Buhari in power come 2015. He is the only one displaying reason around in the political scene. But the fact still remains that he wont win.

South africa gained inedepance from the british empire in 1910 and self determination in the same year

South Africa was run by south africans from 1910

Nothing more to it

lol. You truly know nothing about your history. There was nothing like self determination for you folks. The Brits granted the Boers political and economical power to ensure that Brit investors had concessions in the mining industry. When the Brits left the blacks felt betrayed, they never wanted a Boer led caricature independence, they knew what was in store for them. The signing of the 1910 act of union marked your nations official descent into apartheid. The Brits kept deceiving the blacks that the Boers were also southafricans and the act of Union was to the benefit of all Boers,Bantu, Sans and bus men. But the blacks knew deep down in their heart that the true southafricans were not white European settlers.

patches689:
South Africa gained independance and lost its colonial status in 1910

Nigeria lost its colonial status in 1960

These are indisputable facts

I am about to make you a wiser man on south African history.
The act of union was signed in 1910. It held that all the former autonomous territories like transvaal,orange,etc will join to form the south Africa under a government to be created by the Boers. Under the terms for the signing of the act of union, the Black south Africans were to have no business in the politics of south Africa, .
Nb. The British knew a Boers led southafrica would be filled with discrimination and racial segregation. But they still left the blacks in the hands of the boers
There are definitions of independence and definitions of colonialism that could be found online and ofline., but none of them can define what southafrica achieved with the act of union as independence
Under the independence provided by the act of union, Apartheid was institutionalised. There was no Britain to hold the Boers back any longer, the blacks were kept in tight and crowded reservations to prevent them from grabbing the few available farmlands with the Boers (1913 Bantu land act)
There was actually an act called the mine and work act 1911, to prevent blacks from even getting the little menial labour available at the mines, there was an act known as the coloured work act 1926 to place black workers at a disadvantage when seeking for jobs, civil labour act: this act was made to ensure that only the Boers get all the jobs, but the one that got me cracking back then in classes was the immorality act of 1950 this act was to prevent the natives from getting too randy around white ladies. There was also a riotous assembly act( this act was invoked on Gandhi and later on Mandela)1914.
The truth is southafrica got their false independence in 1910 but had to wait for Nigeria to get theirs in 1960 and grant them true independence.

SBS is nothing, proven by the fact that you need outside help to train them

christ have mercy.mother mary pray for us....but lets first clear our house of thrash.do you think people like asari dokubo,abubakar shekau,olusegun obasanjo,babangida etc....will be able to spill the rubbish they're spilling now,in a totalitarian government?.after all the stolen money and havoc those guys have caused they still have the ba||s to dictate to the government.in a strong country,they'd be publicly skewered with a lance,diced into smaller pieces,burned and their ashes scattered over the ocean,and if anybody protest against it they'd be effectively sanctioned.democracy allows thieves and killers to walk free.africans have become weak.

no. Africans have stopped living as cavemen, and they are walking and working towards sustaining this positive pattern of development. Before you call for totalitarianism, can you pls tell us one African nation that have benefited from this system of government ( giving us clear and concise historical facts). Tell us one African state that, thanks to the rule of a dictator it was able to develope itself profitably. If there is none then what makes you as a neophyte in issues of government and politics think it will work out in a heated and multi ethnic state like Nigeria or do want to use the largest black nation on earth to experiment on a banned Government ideology?

@overhypedsteve,you speak as if you dont know how international politics is played.of all criteria that makes a world power,military might is the most important.now lets examine russia,the russians arent impressive when it comes to economy and infrastructure as they've spent a better part of their existence waging wars and buffering crippling sanctions.if not for oil,gas and weapons,russia wouldnt have an economy at all.yet in the end,they spend a large part of what they earn on the military,why?.russia has little foreign influence beside that in the eastern bloc and in syria.russia's land is mostly made of stone and ice,so they import most of their food.yet isnt russia a world power today?,what makes it a world power,an inflated GDP or the international fear of its military might?.other examples are isreal,iran,egypt{perhaps},north korea etc..,these countries barely matter when it comes to economy,but when it comes to military,everyone shivers.that,my friend is true power.forget what written in books.

you ve just failed your first presidential debate. My Question was. " how will your de facto state and its one sided policies fulfill and achieve the nigerian national interests ( domestic and foreign) and its wider interest in its sub region. [ii.] and please what do you think determines our national interest as a country. Because you cant just come to power and say " erm! Missiles made Russia great oya let us start building the world fattest missiles, aircraft careers are cool and dangerous let us get some of those( which role dem go play for gulf of guinea or your spat with south Africans online go make you ride your aircraft career go cape of good hope?). You don't run a nation like a football management app. You ve to take into considerations many factors that overtime have grown to form the Raison de etre of Nigeria i.e. The reason for the existence of Nigerian state.

*scoff*i've always thought of democracy as nonsense anyway,its foreign and rarely works very well in the african setting.africans have always repected and feared power,violence and brutality.they tremble and listen to a totalitarianism government more than democratic fluffy smutt.democracy is for the weak....in my regime,a few greedy politicians could be used as scapegoats of how i'll deal with 'unnecessary instigation of civil unrest'.

EVarn:
in order to obtain world power status in a short time,i plan on initiating a "power up programme",by spending about 40-50% of gdp on defence over a span of 10 years,then later cutting defence spending to about 30% of gdp after the "power up" programme,and start bargaining on acquiring heavy weapons and defence tech. in exchange for our oil,uranium,UNSC vote,economic{free trade} liberty,and political alliances.

hmm. Dats ur opinion and it is respected. But however it is not having weapons that makes one a world power. It is her ability to maintain a significant level of influence in the international system by either using her various instruments of foreign policy like economy, military, natural resources, geographical strength, and even leadership to influence the way other state behaves. A nation that have in the process of acquiring high-tech weaponry crippled her economy and infrastructural development would realise only too late that her national interest is not best served and also that she as a country cannot maintain that level of high tech system with the resources available to her, she may have to give them up at the request of international organizations or stop operating them. Now Mr Evans what do you think is the nigerian national interests and how do you think such policy will best serve our interest as a nation. Cus there is a difference between Evans imperialistic ambitions and the nigerian collective existential interest. Wish i could place a PDF documentation in my possession for you to download. So you have a clear picture of what Nigeria as a nation stands for.

PetroDolla3:
talking from its aNuS, as usual. there are more pirate attacks off the nigerian coast than in any other country of the world more than even somalia and you claim you have a navy? you probably have a bunch of boys scouts padding about in some ancient canoes an claiming to be navies the Ghanaian navy patrols beyond the shores of Ghana. we can extend our patrol duties to your troubled waters,huh?

[s][/s]

the problem i have with you ghanians is that, you always find it had to maintain your argument along the line of reason. The nigerian coast is not filled with pirates only a ignorant fellow that know nothing about his geo politics can make such claims. Now this is the problem Nigeria is faced with, The whole gulf of guinea is infested with pirate and Nigerian interest and trade activities contribute about 80% of all activities going on in the gulf of guinea, meaning Nigeria earn more from the gulf of guinea more than any other gulf of guinea country so it is only reasonable that the western media call it the nigerian gulf some even go far enough to refer to it as the nigerian coast. So with what i ve jst written it should be clear that Nigeria have a leadership role to play in the security of a gulf on which the economy of the richest African nation is dependent. So take for example what will it serve Ghana by wasting its money to protect the gulf of guinea for Nigeria. When it understand only too well that Nigeria makes more money from this gUlf and therefore have a bigger responsibility to protect and secure its interest around the gulf. In my own opinion Ghana with its present economy and financial situation will be making a policy that is not in her interest if she maintain the largest and most effective navy in the Gulf of guinea cus poor Ghana will only end up protecting nigerian oil tankers and business cruisers. So anybody still at this time shouting that Ghana have the best navy in west Africa is a political neophyte.

just look how you put your stupidity on display.. such a bad loser!! direct your beef to yourselves for the gross negligence.. do something about the new found caliphate . get our girls back. and stop your people from rushing into Ghana like refugees.

the day i thought iamord was a man of honour. Too bad e still settled to whirl in the mud of the ghanian/nigerian e fights. i am around now, so I ll try my best to avail you all of my superior intellectual contributions. The nigerian navy is a regional power created to ensure stability in the Gulf of Guinea one of the world most active oil and gas supply route ( thanks to nigerian oil trade), to protect Nigeria's interests and to rapidly respond to threats to the nigerian interest by air or by sea all around its spare of interest. the ghanian Navy is a coast guard created to protect Ghanian interest around its coast. I ll avail you all of proofs and evidence to back up my claims. But in the mean time i would Advice that we desist from making provocative statements or raining insults on each other as the sanity of any thread where i am to contribute should and must be maintained.

Descartes:
You may not understand the the consequence of such action on Nigerian government if such confiscated arms are given to our military.

In the matter of this magnitude, the Government needs to thread with caution so as not aggregate the matter.

It's akin to asking custom officers to utilize the goods seized by them.

Think about it

Cogito ergo sum

nobody said they should be released to the army, what do we need that mil cargo chopper for whence have almost 35 attack helicopters placed on order. As for the AK47 nigerian defence industry have been producing that one since 2007. When they say Nigeria Need weapons to fight bokoharam they did not mean the kind of things in that plane at all,

Descartes:
That's illegality

under what code? Are we allied to chad in any mutual protection agreement. So why are we supposed to release to them, weapons that could be used against nigerian citizens in the case of a regional confrontation. You of all people should know that the international system is made up of states interacting with each other without the supervision of any binding authority or legal documentation( this is what scholars in the field of international relations call " the system of anarchy ". read the book " leviathan" by Thomas Hobbes and also read Diplomacy by Harold Nicholson) in this system states are guided solely by their interest and their decisions, policies should reflect this interest as this is the main core of the existence of states
" we ve no permanent friend or perpetual foe, our interests are both permanent and perpetual" quoted by a 4mr British prime minister.
All i am saying is this. The legality or illegality of an action in the modern international system can only be determined by the states taking that action. Like they say in strategic studies " what sovereignty makes equal power makes unequal" meaning what could be wrong by moral standing could appear right when it is being done by a powerful state e.g the killing of Gadaffi of Libya, invasion of Iraq, the Gaza blockade of 2010/2011. Some of this things are wrong by the standing of international law, but need i repeat that the present international law is not binding and it is poorly applied only in most cases on government and persons that have lost the support of a majority of their people or the powers that be.

Antanov are operated commercially from Ukraine

Here is a link to the official Antanov site showing the contact address http://www.antonov.com/contacts

The Ukrainians and not the Russians operated this aircraft.

I can bet my last buck that the aircraft departed from somewhere in eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Hungry, Ukraine) and that it's original flight path would have been through Egypt but diplomatic pressure from Russia and Israel on getting the intel on the contents of this cargo forced the Egyptians to deny the cargo aircraft airspace clearance mid flight.
The aircraft was then forced to reroute through the Mediterranean into Algeria given that the Libyan air space is shut down for civilian purpose.

The crew was then desperate for refueling and was then forced to request entry into Nigeria for that same purpose.
Unknowing to them the Nigerian security outfits had been tipped off by the Russians and Israelis.

This is checkmate move from Putin on Obama.

Nigeria is a British creation Nigeria was CREATED by British in 1860 and ended in 1960 after Brits left at their own will. No WAR!!!!!Before 1860 NIGERIA WAS A TRIBAL ZONE where tribes faught over land and sold each other to Europeans "ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE ERA". Lagos and Port Harcourt and other areas on the Coast are all EUROPEAN creationd and were SLAVE PORTS. All we can say Haiti is a Nigeria creation "THEIR SELL OUT ANCESTORS SOLD OUT BLACK PEOPLE TO WHITES". Today they have PUPPETS like their few less than 70 socalled billionaires who DANCE to WESTERN TUNE. They're the eye of the western interest in Nigeria.

Their OIL ECONOMY was started by BRITISH COLONISERS and oil and gas in Nigeria was DISCOVERED by Brits in 1950s...
