tell me more about this seme and how Nigeria shifted their border without causing war

alphaNomega:












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

A bit of history from post world war 1 up to the Nigerian Civil war will give the gist of what happened. Unfortunately history is no longer taught in our schools so I cannot blame you.

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.

Bonus: Mr. chiedu4trump it was not to spite Biafra as your parents erroneously told you. Let me try to summarise it for you. During the civil war, Cameroun came for their land (Bakassi peninsula), Gowon who was the military head of state at the time told Cameroun to "hold on" because as they can see Nigeria is distracted by a civil war. Let us share this territory into 2 for now, and after the war we sit down and negotiate.

Of course you know the events after the war and how Gowon fared. The problem is that the Nigerian government has invested so much in that region and was unwilling to let go. Our dubious, ill-informed lawyers took the matter to the International Court of Justice without doing their homework. If they did, they would know that Nigeria never really owned Bakassi.

Maybe they did but decided to make Nigeria pay them huge sums of money in legal fees knowing that they will loose the case anyway and still get paid. You know how Nigerians think.

RTSC:

Unless you are from Benin republic, then you are nuts.
Do you know the value Of land?
Do you know how much land America, Russia and China have stolen?..
Russia recently invaded Ukraine and stole land. China is busying claiming sea as their own and building artificial islands.
Are they also big for nothing?

Nigeria is a highly populous country. We need land.

Extending our territory is one of the most patriotic thing any Nigerian leader can do.

The only patriotic thing buhari has done was to extend our maritime territory in the gulf of Guinea.

Oil Rich Tongeji Island In Ogun State

LLMG:
So it can be easily given to Benin republic,

Blue3k:


Its funny how these people are suddenly a priority because of oil. They been ignored four years by the state abd federal government unless there's elections. Im guessing the governor is subtly alluding to Bakassi situation. Anyway lets hope the search produces positive results for everyone involved.



Facts about the island:
Only 1 dilapidated school that serves primary 1-6.
Expecting mothers deliver babies in Benin Republic.
No acess roads
No electricity
No market

Tungeji doesn't even sound Yoruba. Don't take people's land due to greed. If it's not yours, it's not yours.

Blue3k:


This why history class is important. You see too many adults telling tall tales. Am sure you see people in mentions arguing bakkasi situation even though its throughly documented. If you were ask them cite source it will turn into mission impossible.

Rubbish!

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.

RTSC:
Their economy depends on Nigeria. It is in their interest to keep shut or we will shut the borders.

YourNemesis:


You are just a mumu. Does Badagry or Papalanto sound Yoruba?

schoolboij:

tell me more about seme, not our borders

alphaNomega:


Please read the first post I quoted you in. It has been updated.

The indigenous people of that land are Cameroonians, any Nigerian you find there is an immigrant. Because a large number of a population reside in a particular place does not make the place their ancestral home.

E.g. there is a significant population of Igbos in Equatorial Guinea, you do not hear them claiming ancestral ownership of the land.
