Withdraw that statement immediately. You have no empirical evidence to show we have no brains. If you said "some" then that would be a fair statement. I am 1 million percent NIGERIAN and I have no apologies to be one. There are are idiots everywhere in the world.

huxley:

Yes, because Nigerians have no BRAINS, just muscle.  You are a living proof of that. Have you contributed anything intelligent to the discussion?

Rankadede, okuse, more elbow to your grease - keep covering your brains with goo from Cameroun.

You speak of nation-to-nation land issues as if they are up or down votes. Go tell that to Britain in the Falkan Islands or the US in Guantanamo Bay!

Ode buruku, a lai ni ronu ara Galatia. Iwo lo ma sun to ni ji!

In case you can't follow an argument, here are the main points again:

1. Both Northern and Southern Cameroons were administered as part of Nigeria before any of these. However, they were considered separate from both Nigeria and Cameroon before 1960 (creations of the colonialists by the way) - hence the need for a plebiscite.

2. The two plebiscites were characterized by manipulation and intimidation.

3. The people of Southern Cameroons particularly thought all they were getting was independence from Nigeria, with the option of reunification with Cameroun. However, this was a ruse used by agents of Cameroun at the time to get votes for the plebiscite - the UN organized a vote to decide between Nigeria and Cameroun. Huxley's purported cool-headed approach amounts to exactly that - ruse and intellectual fraud. The idea is to start an illegitimate conversation, and then transport it into the realms of possibility. Well, it is not going to happen.

4. The people of Bakassi never saw themselves as Camerounians, but Nigerians. Hence they were quick to raise the point that they were voting to be Cameroon and not part of Cameroun once the deceit embedded in the plebiscite became clear. They would have voted to stay in Nigeria if given the chance 40 years later, since by actual livelihoods they have always been Nigerians.

5. Now that Nigeria has given Bakassi to Cameroun the only thing Cameroun will get from any further silly land grabbing would be its btk thoroughly whipped and Bakassi seized from it.

Get that into your fart-filled oblongata by repeating a 1000 times for the next 40 years

huxley:

As a result of endemic mental indolence of the Nigerian ruling class, a problem was made to exist where none needed to exist. From the moment when it became a problem, the Bakassi issue dragged on for many years before it was eventually settled peacefully at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2008. But this need not have been a problem, nor taken that long to resolve or clarify.  That it did is testament to the mental indolence that the Nigerian ruling class and large parts of the ordinary Nigerian population. Even the Nigerian intellectual class do not seem to have a voice anymore.

All that needed to be done was for someone to check the records of the history of the Bakassi Peninsula, but such simple fact-checking seem to be beyond the ability of an entire country that want to pass itself off as the Giant of Africa.  The entire country seemed to have been mentally paralysed into a mode of thought that bore no resemblance with reality, and no one seemed capable of getting them out of this coma.  They let themselves be dragged into the ICJ and be humiliated by such an elementary matter as referring to the archive or history records of the period. What really is happening in that country?


If there are Nigerians out there who can read and have the faculty to understand and be rational, please read this report (http://www.omoigui.com/files/the_bakassi_story.pdf)  in its entirety, or at least the excerpts below:

12. On February 11th and 12th 1961, a plebiscite was held to " clarify the wishes of the people living in Northern and Southern Cameroons ". The population of Northern Cameroons had earlier - in 1959 - "decided to achieve independence by joining the independent Federation of Nigeria", while the population of Southern Cameroons, whose plebiscite could not be done in 1959 for security reasons, now "decided to achieve
independence by joining the independent Republic of Cameroon" (General Assembly resolution 1608 (XV) of 21 April 1961). Note that there were 21 polling stations on the Bakassi peninsula itself and that 73% of the people living there voted to "achieve independence by joining the independent Republic of Cameroon". (Note the blunder here. By spelling it as "Cameroon", rather than "Cameroun", the UN created an opening for the
people of the "Southern Cameroons" to say they never voted to join "Cameroun" which is the former French territory.

13. In 1962, the government of Tafawa Balewa exchanged diplomatic notes with Cameroun acknowledging the fact that Bakassi was not Nigerian territory. General Gowon was a T/Captain. Maps from that period show Bakassi peninsula in Cameroun, following the results of the 1961 plebiscite.

14. In January 1966, Major General Ironsi came to power in Nigeria. He committed his government to respect all prior international agreements made by the Balewa government. Maps from that period show Bakassi peninsula in Cameroun.

15. In July 1966, then Lt. Col. Gowon came to power in Nigeria. He too committed his government to respect all prior international agreements made by the Ironsi and Balewa governments. Maps from that period show Bakassi peninsula in Cameroun

16. In 1970, moves began to be made by independent Cameroun and post-civil war Nigeria to clarify their maritime border which was vaguely defined by the 1913 Anglo-German Treaty. Maps from that period show Bakassi peninsula in Cameroun, but the offshore boundary was unclear since there was no detailed demarkation of the "navigable portion" of the approach channel to the Calabar estuary. Then Attorney General Elias correctly advised the Gowon government that post-colonial Nigeria had no legal basis for contesting the Bakassi peninsula itself, but that work to delimit the offshore boundary and
vague sections of the land boundary should proceed at full speed in accordance with the original Anglo-German Treaty of 1913. The technical problem thus became deciding exactly what part was "navigable" and what was not. It is this matter that was addressed on April 4th, 1971 at Yaoundé when Nigeria's General Gowon and Cameroun President Ahidjo, accompanied by large delegations, signed the "Coker-Ngo" Line on British
Admiralty Chart No. 3433 "as far as the 3-nautical-mile limit." The status of the Bakassi peninsula proper was not an issue for discussion. Maps from that period show Bakassi peninsula in Cameroun.

17. On June 1st, 1975, Gowon and Ahidjo signed the Maroua Declaration for the partial extension of the 1971 maritime boundary. Again, the status of the Bakassi peninsula proper was not even an issue for discussion. Maps from that period show Bakassi peninsula in Cameroun.

Now, if you did not know this,  ask yourself - Why is it you did not know this?

Were you not educated properly about the modern history of your country?  Did you not seek to educate yourself about your country's modern history? Have the media you your country failed to educate you about this?

OR are you just very simple-minded, dumb, stup1d, trigger-happy and plain ignorant, someone whom no amount of education could change your benighted?


If you think you have and had been poorly served by your government, leaders, media and intellectuals, can you continue to trust that they are capable of doing the morally correct thing, the things that are in keeping with your high values of moral rectitude?  What are you gonna do if you think you can no longer trust these people?

HELL NO! we're too good for that nah
seriously, the dude is a RETARD!
coming to a Nigerian forum to talk rubbish, what does he expect?

becomrich3:

  Look at it yourself and ask if Nigerian are not criminal for wanting to claim another man land.

Ileke-IdI:

wdh, does Cameroon even have have a forum?
Yet we have so many on Nairaland. . . .

becomrich3:

some part of Obudu is part of cameroon. While the other part is Nigeria.

becomrich3:

some part of Obudu is part of cameroon. While the other part is Nigeria.

tpiah:

obudu seems to be a 5 hour drive from calabar and 45 miles from the cameroonian border.

if nigerian leaders arent daft, they'll have insisted on having similar ranches in other parts of the country.

gorilla watching isnt the only thing tourists can do in nigeria.

Beaf:

Obudu does not belong to the federal govt. So "leaders" can't insist on anything.

tpiah:

and where did i say obudu belongs to the federal govt?

**still trying not to "kan e nko"**

abi na "ra e nko"

i dont know who owns the place, but its not rocket science to figure out nigeria needs more ranches of that type in other regions.

Beaf:

I am not Yoruba; there is nothing wrong with typing in English.
Nigeria does not need ranches. Such attractions are a good thing to have though.
If other states feel the need to build ranches, there's nothing stopping them.

rethink:

@koruji another name for Asinine.

An Epitome of what it is to be brain dead. You say I am no Nigerian. You are right I am not your headless no thinking Nigerian Type. You have no intelligence hence I suggest you buy a very big fridge and lock yourself up so that you can start thinking properly because it looks like your brains thinks we are still in the ICE age.


Now to those that care Nigeria has the greatest Army(infantry) in the world. This is proof
1) Nigerian Army brought peace to Liberia with little or no little Intel on the ground
2) Nigeria dislodged a whole army Junta in a sovereign state (sierra leone)

I know we can beat 10 cameroun armies put together. Cameroun knows they cant stand us that is why they went to the international courts. If any nation attacks Nigeria then they have done us a favour.  I know the Nigerian Armed forces they are ready and Hungry for action. The armed forces of Nigeria are not happy dying at home in the hands of civilians trained by retired army general that call themselves "militants"
The Armed forces I know are trained for non controlled destruction. They kill you and apologise later.
