Fighter Pilot: an angry south african air force paratrooper jumped out of the aircraft as usual. he hates the company that manufactured his parachute. this time he takes a knife and cuts off the paratchute bag on his way falling down from 2,000 feet high altitude in the sky. he says to himself...."nonsense parachute manufacturer i hate that company, now i have cut off this parachute from my back and wasted it. when i return to base down below, i will tell the commandant that my parachute did not work at all, that's why i came down from 2,000 feet and landed on my own head."

. [size=16pt]nigerian navy installs modern 48km long range spy cameras along nigerian coastline ...first in africa[/size] . (Reuters) - Nigeria's navy has installed eight automated, camera-equipped surveillance towers in the waters just off its coast, in an effort to tackle a surge in pirate attacks and crude oil theft that have blighted Africa's top energy producer this year. Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba told journalists late on Thursday that the equipment, most of it from Japan's Furuno and costing roughly $12 million in total, had high-frequency radio and long-range cameras able to spot ships up to 48 km (30 miles) away. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/20/us-nigeria-piracy-idUSBRE9BJ0KN20131220 ![]() 1 Like |

All South African satellites are less than 100Kg, unlike Nigeria's satellites which are almost the size of locomotive. The US has ceised long ago manufacturing such giant satellites which are very slow to operate. 1 Like |

Mr Mark Owen Woyongo, Minister of Defence, has lauded the Ghana Navy for its meritorious work which had led to it being adjudged the Best Performing Navy in West Africa for 2013 by the Security Watch Africa Magazine. He said the Ghanaian coast had become an island of stability in the turbulent Gulf of Guinea maritime domain which had earned it the respect of all interested in maritime issues. Mr Woyongo said this on Friday during a sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of phase two of the Naval Headquarters. The project, when completed, would have a Command Block, Administration Block, Operations and Supply Block, a Library, a Technical Office, a Museum, Conference Rooms, Cafeteria and other ancillary facilities. He commended the Navy for the arrest of MV Mustard which was found to have been used to siphon fuel off MV Cotton, a ship that had been hijacked off the coast of Gabon, and another ship which was found to contain over 400 kilogrammes of cocaine. He added that due to diligent work by the Ghana Navy, the coast of Ghana had not witnessed a single pirate attack throughout the year making the country a safe haven for ships waiting to go to ports in neighbouring countries. Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Rear Admiral Geoffrey Mawuli Biekro, said a blue-print for the construction of a new office complex was produced in 1996. He expressed appreciation to private organisations and individuals for coming to the aid of the Ghana Navy by helping them with funds and building materials to now continue with the construction of the office complex. He said the Navy recognised the heavy responsibility upon its shoulders and the expectations of the country and pledged their readiness to ensure safety and security of all vital national assets at sea. He commended Government for its commitment to the Navy despite limited resources, citing the acquisition of ships in recent years, the upgrading of the Navy’s workshop at Sekondi and other planned acquisitions that had received the Government’s approval.

The Chief of Plans, Naval Headquarters,Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ogbor told newsmen that the exercise would kickstart a diplomatic visit of Nigerian Navy warships to countries within the West African Coast. “The Nigerian Navy ships will from 2014 commence their diplomatic duties by conducting flag showing exercises within West Africa”. Admiral Ogbor made this statement during the return of the Nigerian Navy Ship, NNS THUNDER, from a four months trip to Australia after taking part in an international fleet review. He said that the force remained overjoyed that the vessel was able to travel to Australia, representing the country in an international sea exercise. He said that the trip made by Thunder, was in line with the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba’ s Strategic Guidance 01 which is to ensure that the force’s traditional and diplomatic roles are fulfilled. “We have just spoken about Strategic Guidance 01 and Strategic Guidance 02 is out. In this, it stipulates that all the country that we have not visited for a while,we will begin to visit them in 2014. Also we are planning a joint exercise between Cameroon, Nigeria, Togo and Ghana. The first planning meeting for the exercise took place at the Naval Headquarters and it is going to reassure the nation that Nigeria has a navy that they can be proud of,” he stated. Fighting piracy Rear Admiral Ogbor said that the Nigerian Navy is committed to fighting piracy within the country’s territorial waters, stressing that the force will continue to put its vessels at sea to police the territorial waters to rid it of criminals. 1 Like |

Z3tdee: That man is smoking from the pipe. I was actually refering to hundreds of CC's and Pty Ltd's which were established as a result of BEE. Those are ofcourse, not informal sector since those companies are registered and pay tax wherever is possible. |
