Now that it is obvious that SA is diplomatically
fighting Nigeria
By Simeon Nwakaudu
Arms Deal: Plain facts to indicate that South Africa
(SA) is playing a dangerous diplomatic evil game
against Nigeria.
*Only the politically naive in international relations
would assume that the seizure of funds have been
accidental and procedural.
*The South African newspaper (City Press)
confirmed today that documents found on the two
Nigerians and One Israeli had a sign off end-user
certificate personally issued by National Security
Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki meant for the arms
transaction. The certificate included the official list
of items to be purchased:
Implication: The NSA office and relevant officials
contacted SA hence the certificate was issued and
due process followed. Despite this, SA seized the
money and announced the transaction via the
media.
*Fact: SA National Prosecuting Authority admitted
according to City Press that an invoice was raised
in SA for helicopters and armaments intended to be
used in Nigeria with the $9.3m as the fund to
consummate the purchase.
Implication: since the arms invioce was raised in SA,
the SA govt was fully aware, yet it sent its customs,
journalists and officials to way lay the covet
operatives. This was a premeditated diplomatic
infraction aimed deliberately at ridiculing Nigeria.
*On the second seizure of $5.7m, it's even more
regrettable and un-African
It is confirmed that Cererus, a duly registered arms
company with the SA National Arms Conventional
Control Committee, officially received R60m (sixty
million rand) from a Nigerian company to buy arms,
but the company's registration expired shortly after
the bank transaction. The company applied for re-
registration but SA refused to grant the request,
leaving the application to lie fallow for two months.
The company tried to effect a refund over the failed
supply, but SA govt stepped in and seized the
money and frustrated the bank transfer. If the first
was cash, the second was through official bank
transaction.
*Implication: The SA govt deliberately denied the
company re-registrationn so it could seize the
money and as planned release the information to
the media to achieve a hatched scheme to stand in
the way of Nigeria.
NOTE: these facts are incontrovertible. The only
point that stands out is the division in Nigeria
where opposition and pro-opposition elements work
to denigrate Nigeria without objectively analysing
the situation.
The second deal was not a cash transaction, yet SA
got a court to order the seizure of the money.
ACTION: It is high time Nigeria took definite action
against the SA and their deliberate diplomatic
infractions to frustrate our war on terror. Nigerians
will recall the Yellow Card diplomatic slap and how
the FG retaliation resolved the matter.
SA stand to lose more in the event of full diplomatic
confrontation. This is the time to hit back.
As usual, we will expert opposition elements and
their colleagues to support SA and their government.
Their sponsored media associates will start singing
the familiar tune and SA will be further emboldened
to continue their ugly diplomatic infractions.

First Arms Deal $9.3 million. Second Arms Deal $5.7 million. All
siezed by South African Government in South Africa in the
name of backyard or illegal arms deal.
From which Federation account is such money withdrawn??
Why must the arms deal be illegal?? Who are the South African
dealers, are they known by the Southern African
Government?
Where is our brilliant Economics Mummy Ngozi, is she aware
of such money?
What about our Senate why the silence, why will South
African Government be confisticating our money for a deal our
Government takes responsibility for What is really
happening to our country Who is hiding something......
Yes we have a Security Challenge but does it justify us buying
arms "illegally" as accused??
Why must those in Leadership subject our National Image to
such rediclous questioning
I Pray for a Transparent Nigeria where Justice and Peace shall
reign.

There is confusion among those of us without direct link with the governments of both Nigeria and South Africa. While we may conclude that it is money laudering, the SA government won't only see it as such, but also a case of an attempt to purchase arms illegally.

blacktech's right!
1. In a porous & divided govt administration as u got in 9aij, with the dubiousness of BH sympathisers even within govt ranks, it might not be easy 4 govt 2kip yapping abt all its covert moves & stil stay onpoint (&winning) in its fight against terror.
2. SA definitely has a bone 2pick wiv 9aij; else, why wld dey make it such a big media issue ahead of consultn d usual diplomatic channels esp after sighting d EUL issued by d NSA. U dnt get EUL's like dat except frm d SSS, IG etc (e.g. we did, a few yrs back, jst 2bring in small stuff like full-body scanners, ppe, ied detectors, wave jammers etc). One for a direct deally frm top govt like NSA & i woulda been doing stuff sipping tequilas on some warm beach right now. So, dat level of documentation, offices concerned shoulda earned 9aij som serious level of diplomatic courtesies as we nid all d help wt d war against terror right now; and not som hate-mongering diplomatic fencing wt d same "Southies" our parents held solidarity marches 2bring outta apartheid jst a few decades back!
On a lighter note, na dis kinda news dey get my palm itchy, be needing 2make a few calls 2 awon uncles, mofos & goons mi...., Abeg, nor be only TAN go chop dis season. N'land, c ya in a few, bye!!!

What of this case that involves bank transaction

Why did SA seized the money and made a public case of it without consulting the government secretly for clarification
Re: South Africa Seizes Another $5.7m Nigeria’s Arms Deal by johhnnie(m): 10:50pm On Oct 06, 2014
I think seriously that S.A is taking a bold step at helping us to fight corruption.

To me, some big boys are merely using the boko haram issue/ the NSA office as a conduit to launder money. To start with, the arms dealing company in S.A, is Nigerian owned. Any serious coy looking forward to secure a multi billion naira contract ought to have put it's house in order.

The Nigerian government should be truthful. But unfortunately, it cannot be truthful. As a sovereign nation, trying to strengthen ur home security against terrorism, there is very legal seal at ur disposal to do so openly. And if u must go back door, our president should have allowed the S.A president to be in the know in confidence as well as explain ab-initio, the reason for the covert purchase of arms .

We are not fools. And I think that our security operatives. Most specially, the customs officers at our borders, have cases to answer. Or how can we explain the source of arms and ammunition for the Boko Haram.

Someone is deceiving us somewhere.

The monies seized were meant to be laundered and not truly for arms to buy weapons to fight insurgency.

At least, Nigeria governments in time past have purchased weapons from the international communities before now, without hullabaloo. So y now.

Some people are seriously hiding under the our misfortune to siphon money and I think that S.A government got this coming.

Wot stupîd secret are you talking about? Was the money seized from an official government plane with diplomatic clearance? No! It was seized from the jet of a private individual claiming to be acting on behalf of the Nigerian government! The height of criminality!
