"Wayo" is a Pidgin English term that Elmat picked up in Nigeria. It refers to trickery, such as the classic Nigerian email scam where the recipient is asked to help move money out of the country in return for a percentage of the amount. Elmat uses it rather liberally. For example, he thinks the global warming issue is a wayo scam by scientists looking for funding. <g>

Give you an example of wayo: the US concocts a 'tension' case here the Persian Gulf, then offer weapons for sale for those cash rich Gulf states to protect them from an Iranian "threat". <<Raking in the cash: US looks to sell arms in Gulf to try to contain Iran>> Message 23386944 The Guld states are not much interested. The British collaborate by sending some sailors to Iranian waters, which means sure arrest -you can get 18 months in jail for fishing in their waters- so that the tensions rise a little bit to convince the Gulf states ios for areal and itis time for them to open their wallets. This is wayo at its best.

Saudi mulling order for naval destroyers. BAE Systems and VT Group are bidding for the Saudi Arabian contract that is thought to be worth almost $4 billion. ELMAT: Finally the marketing is working and the aircraft carriers can go home. Wayo is everywhere!! by Rob Corder on Thursday, 29 March 2007 The Type 45 destroyer is designed to provide local area fleet defence and long range wide area defence. Saudi Arabia is evaluating options for a massive strengthening of its naval capabilities that is expected to include orders for two, or even three, Type 45 destroyers. BAE Systems and VT Group are bidding for the Saudi Arabian contract that is thought to be worth almost $4 billion. Defending the shipping lanes of the Arabian Gulf is a key priority for Saudi Arabia and the wider world. 20% of the world's oil travels down the seaway, which is regularly patrolled by US, British and other foreign navies. Type 45 destroyers have been developed for the British Royal Navy. ELMAT: the UK Navy whose sailors invaded Iranian waters to add to the "tensions"! They are designed to provide local area fleet defence, with long-range radar and wide area defence capability. The ship's combat systems also have the capability to control aircraft and coordinate the anti-air warfare operations of the task force. The Royal Navy's Type 45s will be equipped with long-range weapon systems to intercept air threats including super-agile manoeuvring missiles with re-attack modes. A $4 billion order from Saudi Arabia will not be without controversy for BAE Systems, which was at the centre of a Serious Fraud Office investigation into a £10 billion deal to supply the Kingdom with Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. That investigation was recently dropped on orders from the British government on the grounds that evidence was weak,
