Abuja — A deal worth $25 million has been concluded between Israel Shipyards and the Nigerian defense ministry for the manufacture and delivery of two Shaldag patrol boats, an Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
One boat has already been delivered and Nigerian crews have been trained in Israel by Israeli instructors who will provide further training in Nigeria
The report is coming just as the Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Avigdor Lieberman is in Nigeria as part of his tour of African countries that will also take him to Ethiopia, Angola, Uganda and Kenya. He is reportedly accompanied by dozens of businessmen, most of them arms dealers, as well as security advisers and representatives of the military industries.
Amit Sadeh, the middleman in the $25million deal, was involved in the controversial sale of air and sea drones by the Yavneh-based Aeronautics Ventures to the Nigerian defense ministry, as well as the sale of used planes from Ukraine to Nigeria.
Sadeh also represents Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), whose Ramta subsidiary competed for the same deal. IAI as well as the CEO of Israel Shipyards, Avi Shahaf, declined to comment, while Sadeh was not available.
The deals, according to the Haaretz newspaper, have put Israel in the position of interfering in an internal Nigerian dispute that could lead to civil war. The boats and intelligence equipment are intended for the use of Nigerian forces against rebels in the Niger River Delta region.
In an interview with Haaretz last year, a spokesman for the rebels warned Israel not to go ahead with the sales.

The Nigerian military can never ever master the Niger Delta terrain,no matter the weaponry they amass, Militancy the next time around will be more sophisticated and damaging to the Nigerian economy. The government better use the respite offered by the amnesty to turn around the lives of the niger delta people by providing tangible infrastructure. I am afraid they are about to make the same old mistakes of thinking there is a solution in force of arms
Is Emperor Yar spoiling for a fight? Really? Oh no! We must be shaking in our boots now. In my humble opinion, if MEND is any wiser, given its experience of deceitful relationship with this doofus-in-chief, it should do exactly what Iran did to Carter in 1980 by waiting out this current administration until his predecessor is sworn in because Emperor YarAdua cannot be trusted for the following reasons: 1) A man who was handed the Presidency on a platter so he could continue from whence his predecessor stopped, but eventually turned on his benefactor is not worthy of a second consideration. 2) Not only did he reneged on his campaign promises that include a 7-Point Agenda, he callously reversed all the reform policies of his predecessor just to prove that he is in charge. Of what? 3) He refused to declare a state of emergency on fixing the deplorable national power supply, in fact, he refused to install the electricity grids that his predecessor bought but allowed them to rut at the port of entry while the NASS proceeded on a fruitless search for non-existent shadows and boogiemen. 4) Emperor Yar cancelled, willy-nilly, all the health clinics contracted by his predecessor for every local jurisdiction of the federation while he (Mr. President that ought to show pride and confidence in his countrys institutions) jetted abroad to treat his own gall bladder at the national expense. 5. Emperor Yar reinstalled the supremacy of corrupt politician like Ibori, et al, while the crime-busters like Ribadu and El-Rufai became pariahs that have to run abroad for their lives. 6) He harassed the Press that dared to report on his health issues that he would prefer to keep secret not realizing the public has a right to know since he is a public officer and our head servant. 7) He created the currently moribund Dept. of Niger Delta and tucked it away in Abuja, with no blue prints of the depts agenda only to plan to relocate to Kaduna the only University dedicated to oil studies in the Delta. 8) He favored his kin and kiths with appointments into key positions that would guarantee the Norths control the federation of states that ought to be equal partners. 9) He squandered $60 Billion savings that his predecessor left in the national coffer in 2007 to a stunning $24 Billion balance today with nothing to show for how, almost 70% of the account were wasted away. 10) Emperor Yar that ought to be begging Nigerians for forgiveness and amnesty for bombing innocent women and children in the Delta, now wants to grant amnesty to his victims of abuse, neglect, and rape. Who is fooling whom? What and who do you think we are? Mugus? Since you have squandered almost 3 years of our precious but limited time on earth, we have seen you through and through and decided that you can never be trusted. 2011 is about a year away. To teach Emperor Yar and to discourage successive administrations a lesson never to take the Deltans and ordinary Nigerian common folks for granted again, MEND should make it its agenda to negotiate with a future politician that can deliver on his or her promises not a LIAR-IN-CHIEF that we currently call President of the North. After his amnesty deadline is over, we would like to see what he is going to do. Is he going to start bombing, shelling, and shooting to kill fellow innocent Nigerians like Boko Haram? Bring it on We shall cross that bridge of no return when we get there, so, do your worst, buster-Yar, and your fraudulent administration is going down.
Good piece Kaparah. I know that true blood flows through your patriotic N D veins. Though they have succeeded in polluting our environment for over half a century, our heads are screwed on properly and our thoughts are not polluted. aluta continua

For centuries Black Africans have been exploited and exploited in the name of Islam. Then with the coming of the Portueses (so-called Christians) to Ghana around the 1440s , the so-called Christians started their exploitation.

Life Is A Game. Have Fun . Luke 18:17 - Isaiah 11:6
Lord Tee and Kaparah,i sympathise with your myeopic nature honestly i understand your plight as to why you think the Niger delta creek is a cut out of amazon forest.I humbly refer you to the liberian,sierria Leonan and the congo forest the Nigerian soldier treaded there even when others dreaded it.The result,Sierra Leone is triving in democracy and Charles Tylor is in Hugh,While Sirleaf is steering the affairs of a democratic Liberia.You ask for Oct 4 to come cos you want to see what will happen? ok, before Oct 4 please visit Ojukwo he may give you a glimpes of what the Nigerian state can do.His memory is still good i believe that is why he had to lay low even in a democracy.I thot you have by now developed some mannerism so that you put your request to Isreali Govt in a form of solem plea not to avail Nigeria the said wepons.Unfortunately,i observe not you only but even your leaders have foul mouth that nothing comes out of it when ever you open it but shit. Anyway,Patroitic Boyloafs camp has been raided by another would be hero,that makes it easy for the Nigerian State to unleash Boyloaf on the aspiring hero.This the Nigerian state will do by simply embedding boyloaf and his fighters with the Nigerian Troops just like they did with the Camajos and other rebel factions of there exeploits,so the Nigerian soldier do not need to study or understand the terrian of Niger-Delta cos you guys already do.So i join you in waiting for Oct 4.
