Which Oil? You wan claim wetin no belong to you

Na so dem give away Biafra land to Cameroon to spite Biafrans

Is it that Nigerians cannot do without oil?
The southerners keep insulting the northerners about been unproductive simply because they don't have oil.

Take away oil in the south and they will be as useless and unproductive as the north.

Oil this, oil that.

Useless thief.

Bakasi Peninsula lost.Will Tongeji island also be lost.Time will tell.

If what you have stated up there is true, then there should be a referendum to enable the people decide where they want to be. I mean how can the people access health facility from Benin Republic and you suddenly wake up to their acquisition just because of oil deposits. The mere thought of that justification insults the sensibilities of right thinking men and women. It is the same with Bakassi. No body cared about them until Cameroun showed interest, then a local government was quickly built there and some government presence started being felt. In the final analysis, should Benin Republic show interest, Nigerians should ensure they do not submit to the ICJ. It is the same mistake that led us into losing Bakassi. We should not submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ in determining ownership. I have said my own finish

this is how Cameroon took one of Nigerians oil reserves a long time ago, I am assuring if care is not taken they will loose these Nig gvt is always careless

Why won't Togo woo them, the people there does not feel the presence of gvt and you think they won't go with togo, if the oil is why Ogun gvt suddenly become interested in their land my advice to them is that go with Togo, Togo would value you more

I think this kind of fight is not meant for state Government. It is at this point the federal Government should step in, not state government.

APOSTLECHUMA:
IT WAS BEFORE MY EYES WHEN I WAS LIVING IN COTONOU THAT NIGERIA SHIFTED IT'S SEME BORDER ACROSS THE NO MAN'S LAND OF THE BORDER INTO BENIN REPUBLIC TO STEAL THE OIL THAT WAS DISCOVERED AROUND THAT BORDER. THERE ARE MANY COMMUNITIES IN BENIN THAT THEIR NAMES ENDED WIT "JI" LIKE ILACONJI AND THAT PLACE DOESNT BELONG TO BIG FOR NOTHING FAILED STATE LIKE NIGERIA.

alphaNomega:














Bakassi never belonged to Nigeria. It has always been a part of Cameroon ever since the Germans colonised them. The surveyor general's map used at the time was presented as evidence.

A court judgement from the ICJ has ordered Nigeria to clear off the region.

THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE CAN TELL YOU KIDS THE TRUTH SO YOU DO NOT EMBARRASS US MORE THAN OUR FATHERS HAVE IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

What do you think would have happened if Nigeria did not submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ under Article 59 of the Charter ? Would Nigeria have ceded the peninsula.

Historically who are the inhabitants of that peninsula from time immemorial? Do you strongly believe that any demarcations by a foreign body under customary international law is strong enough to take ownership from the original owners of a portion?

We did not argue strongly or took people who did not quite understand the historical antecedents coupled with emerging trends in international law to the Hague. Obj goofed.

Mykehl:


It is not Obasanjo's fault. Shagari's government actually had an agreement with Cameroon to give them part of Bakassi in ruturn for passage of the Federal troops into 'Biafra land' during the civil war through the south south end as they were finding trouble advancing through the west and east axis. Subsequent governments failed to carry out the promise hence Cameroon took the case to the world court and won, leaving Obasanjo and Nigeria with no choice than to cede the land to them.

Blue3k:


Thats Wives tales. There's no document supporting that fictional story. During the ICJ case this story was never brought up.

Even presuming your premise is valid, we could still use those resources for 10 years...
It doesn’t take up to 10 years to build schools and hospitals, educate/upskill people and catalyze development.

Nonetheless, any notion that “other countries are trying to run away from oil” is grossly inaccurate...
Industrialized oil-rich Norway recently awarded its most-ever exploration licenses, while other countries are jostling over Arctic reserves.

The rapid sales of electric cars is enough evidence that developed countries are running away from oil.

I am starting to think oil is a curse to Nigeria.... When ''all" other countries are trying to run away from oil , we are busy fighting for something that wouldn't be needed in 10 years time
