Still waiting for any sort of South-African navy ship like.

Does anyone have any Information on the NN Ship I.e when it is due in Nigeria?
Thanks for sharing the video.

The gunner is on patrol ostensibly in Boko Haram territory (Lake Tchad basin) but he looks as casual as Askia

Thanks for sharing but your wasting data. Your "reply" to my standing statement was irrelevant.

I meant no hate towards Nigeria..... I'm fully aware of the ship building capacity you guys possess.

I was simply responding to the ignorant statement that we don't have comparable vessels.

SouthAfrica Arms Manufacturer Denel failed to supply R250million worth of Armoured vehicles to the government of #Chad, despite having been paid a R100million deposit almost two years ago


This was why Chad bought from Nigeria.

Ironic since the NN has already lost its only frigate capability years ago.....

The Nigerian navy is well positioned to deal with the threats it's currently facing. A frigate is not a pressing requirement for the navy.

Unlike the South-African navy.

So that's your excuse for letting NNS Aradu rust beyond repair...... Not the fact that the Nigerian Navy has not had any money to reactivate her??

The Nigerian navy has developed the assets it needs to confront the threats it faces.

We cannot say the same for South-Africa.

Wow. Things not looking great for Denel

so why are your waters still some of the most pirate infested and dangerous while ours are some of the safest, I mean certainly if our Navy isn't developed to confront threats and Nigerias is then your waters should be much safer than ours?

the Chad deal is but a drop in the ocean, wouldn't have made the slightest of difference to Denels financial position.

Denel has contracts with the middle East worth billions yet its still in a mess.

The answer is simple. The volume of goods/shipment coming into Nigeria can never be compared with South Africa. The Nigerian waters is a busy route as compared to SA.
Numbers of foreign shipment coming into Nigerian to SA is ratio 50 to 1. If you're a pirate which waters would you choose to hunt ...? The fertile or the dry waters

And so it begins

Did you even bother doing any research?? The two busiest(in terms of Cargo Tons) ports in Africa are both in South Africa.

Piracy Incidents Down Off Nigeria

The decrease is due, among other things, to a faster effort by the Nigerian fleet, says Danish Shipping. “We are very pleased that the number of incidents is on the decline. The development emphasizes how important it is that countries in the exposed regions start to live up to their responsibility as to safeguarding their waters, and for the Gulf of Guinea, we have especially seen Nigeria making an important effort,” says Asbjørn Overgaard Christiansen, Acting Director of Security, Environment and Maritime Research at Danish Shipping.

The Chad deal is one of the reasons Denel staff keep getting owed salaries. One month in and one month out.


Good news for Nigeria.

And?? As I said before if the Nigerian Navy was so much better, why is it you still have Piracy(regardless if piracy has decreased slightly)?? And we don't even though our ports and waters are far busier?

Staff where owed salaries long before the Chad deal fell through mate!!

No need answering them...I am a Nigerian and i say with all honesty we as a Nation have failed ourselves and the entire African continent. It's annoying to see Nigerian's here pick on South Africa when shit hits the fan....FYI...We are the one's with a worse security situation.

43 killed in another bloody weekend in Cape Town

Another bloody weekend in Cape Town saw 43 people being murdered, Premier Alan Winde confirmed on Monday.

Provincial forensics services recorded these numbers between Friday night and Monday morning.

The Chad deal was a loss making contract concocted by the CEO and CFO ,so they could pilfer more cash through VR Laser.
The Denel division responsible for building those vehicles weren't even notified of the contract until 3 months after the deal.
SA Gov and Chad are in negotiations to return the deposit.

Most of that piracy is in contiguous waters not necessarily in Nigerian waters but because it happens in the Gulf of Guinea of course biased western media portray it as Nigeria's inability to protect shipping in its waters. The reality is the Nigerian Navy has reduced piracy to a significant level generally in the gulf of Guinea and the stats prove it. And the answer to your question is oil. Another arguable point is the busiest ports because that's relative depending on actual amount of goods docking and going into either country. More goods are traded into Nigeria from other ECOWAS ports reducing tonnage docking in Lagos. So factual comparisons should be made.
