noiseless: I really believe the best thing Cameroun should be doing is to work very hard towards the disintergration of Nigeria, so everyone can know their level and ability and not hiding behind the laughable titles, such as "GIANT OF AFRICA,MOST POPULOUS BLACK NATION" etc. all with nothing to show for it and who needs soviet union as neigbour by the way? Somethings has to be balanced and if these boko infidels ever achieve their dreams in Nigeria without disintergration of that country, trust me no country is safe in Africa, it might sound a bit strange but that is what islamic jihadism is all about.

We never intervene in national/local affairs sorry ..i think the best thing to do is to organize a big reunion with all ethnics groups in Nigeria and you talk about everything so you will this tribalism...

naptu2: I think it'd be a great idea. Of course the geography doesn't matter, neither does language, etc (Angola is part of SADC, while Rwanda is part of the Commonwealth). The only thing that matters is strategic interests.

yes me too i think we should but can you list me some advantages of being a member of Ecowas.....?

naptu2: Cameroun should join Ecomog to help us battle Boko Haram in northern Cameroun.

we are already doing it with the MED but bok haram is very diffent because their actions are inside the county i mean more inside and i really doubt even for their security that Nigerians will agree to see our forces acting inside their country ...their pride will say no lol ...but we are ready but like your mate said fighting terrorism in another country is a dangerous game..

Every advantage has a corresponding disadvantage. I'll list 3

1) Cross border trade. ECOWAS guarantees free movement of people and goods across the borders of member states. This means that Camerounians stand a better chance of taking advantage of, for example, Nigeria's large market. However, you must be competitive in order to reap the benefits of this (for example, the Ghanaians are currently trying to restrict Nigerian traders in Ghana, because they are less competitive).

2) Defence/Security: Cameroun can request for help from Ecomog should she ever need it. However, some citizens of West Africa, because of pride and sovereignty issues, do not like the idea of Ecomog intervening in their country.

3) Free and easy movement of people: You would not need a visa to visit any Ecowas country. This would also mean that criminals can easily move across borders.

nahhh in terms of competitiveness we are doing well Cameroon is the only one who sells his products in all central Africa countries without importing any ...we are ready to competition it's what we need i'm pissed of those people ....free movement this is very interesting we failed to put that in Cemac only on paper not in the real life tho all can enter in Cameroon but they refuse to do the same...they act like ghana... equato and Gabon persecute all Cameroonians who are working in their country we pay the highest taxes etc etc....Cemac really piss me off...for Ecomog i really doubt that Nigerians could be proud to ask for help in another country just look the boko haram case Nigeria could ask the help of Cameroon but they don't ..this pride is in everybody lol ..i have a question Mali is an Ecowas member right? if yes, why there is no intervention from others Ecowas members to establish peace and support the government( even if there is no longer a government in this country) because everyday women/children are raped by those Tuareg who kill and destruct everyone and everything even archaeological sites... what Nigeria ,Ivory coast and Senegal are waiting?

I love Cameroonians but i'm pissed at them right now. For christ sake, wtf is wrong with u guyz?! Why haven't u put a bullet thru Paul Biya's head? that nicca has been there for centuries, kill that mofo. man, i trust my Naija ppl, even the devil himself cant rule us for 10yrs.

my bro the man 82 years old he doesn't worth a war/riot he will die soon we are just waiting////and last but not least our opposition is messed up they are nerds period ..do you understand french? if yes i will post a video of a candidate and if you don't laugh i'm not Cameroonian anymore .....people always judge from outside but the truth is Biya divided the opposition (+ 200 political organizations ) the man is clever he managed everything to make them kill each others( not literally) so Cameroonians prefer to be ruled by this old man he may not be the best but trust me he is not the worst i know my people .by the way i could ask you the same question can you tell me how a guy like goodluck jonathan is the presidnet of nigeria? my only request is that you guys learn french teach it in school we have so much to share we have to break this language barrier even if Cameroon is bilingual

I agree with you 100%

naptu2:

I agree with you 100%

Malians leaders have been very stupid i have to say that this big county is almost three time Togo but they only have something like 5000 soldiers with no equipment everybody could invade mail even Togo which is more little has +10000 soldiers....what this government was excepting they can't even fight a rebellion i wonder what if there was a boko haram and Med in Mali ...i know the situation is not funny but what the hell were they thinking?

SmoothCrim: Puppet, you are not half the country Ghana is!! Go to Wikipedia and check!! You would not even be 3rd... Ivory coast is better!!! NO FRENCH PUPPETS!!!! We already have enough!! On a serious note I don't think it is possible! If it was put up for a vote I think you would get in MAYBE!

true! Ghana is a better democratic governed country while cameroon is a dictator-no human rights country

wow really maybe to stop such things we have to make all countries which are member a better place to live so their population will stay in their own countrry and only industries and companies will move ..i mean if a guy like dangote invest in Cameroon and create jobs in Cameroon it's good it will make money and help cameroonian another guys like fotso or mukete can do the same in ghana/nigeria/senegal/benin etc .the movement of populations in not the best thing to do ....just look at the european union you don't see british moving to french etc..

how do we owe you land? I hrd some parts of cameroon back in the day went to gabon, central African republic and Nigeria
why dont you guys claim part of Gabon's or central African republic land? just because Nigeria has large oil reserves

bakassi is a very sensitive issue. the southern western cameroonians and the calabar had very good reasons why they believe its there land
Nigerians have not recovered from the trauma of loosing Bakassi, which were are still able to recover from.

It doesn't matter what the history books or the UN says this time. If Cameroun makes any more silly claims the Nigerian army should be sent to occupy the Western half of Cameroun. claiming more of Nigeria's land is the worst thing cameroon government can do at the moment

if nigerians and cameroonians are so called brothers as you claim why didnt cameroon and nigeria jointly exploit the bakassi like what gabon and equatorial Guinea did when they had oil land issues

the Nigerians living in Cameroon. Majority of them are Igbo business men. Trust me these igbo men dont have good things to say about cameroon

they say cameroonians avoid and discriminate Nigerian business men (envy). even tho most of the private businesses in cameroon are owned by Igbo Nigerian men
cameroonian officials also over tax and exhort money from Nigerians just because they are Nigerians. .

Nigerian men will tell you they prefer living in Ghana or ivory coast than cameroon

Formerly Cameroon used to hae 700 000 km in the whole territory but some part of Cameroon gone to Nigeria, Chad, Gabon and even Congo

Lets be honest Cameroon has waged a war on a West African country and is a French puppet state. When they come I see them bringing French politics into the region which after years of hard work seems to be fading. Why add 20 million more black French men who will try to convince Ivory Coast, Senegal, Benin etc etc that they have more in common because of who colonized them. At best we should be trying to lessen the impact of these old colonial countries in Africa not increasing them. ECOWAS is the strongest and most united region in Africa. SADC is just on paper. The East African community is weak. Arab Maghreb Union is divided and weak and ECOCAS(Economic community of CENTRAL African states) is useless. Maybe only the proper African Union can rival ECOWAS. To make it stronger the countries in it now have to work together to solve the issues the region has now. This is not the time to be adding potential spoilers! If they join it will most certainly be because their French masters have asked them to join and destabilize the region so that there is no strong region in Africa!!

So, the answer is no because,

1) Historically Cameroon is not a West African country
2) The risk is higher than the reward
3) They have a history of aggression against West African states and calling their French masters to do the dirty work for them

NO NO NO!!!

like i said you really don't know Cameroon igbo own what? the igbo in Cameroon work in garage owned by cameroonian ....by the way i doubt you know all the +5millions of nigerians so i can't trust what you are saying but if they dislike cameroon why they don't leave ..i don't get it.....so you agree with me that you own us land ..so why are you angry just give it back..i don't know in which planet you live but here on earth we care about U.N and historic books......and don't try to fool us we are not oblige to exploit our ressource with nigeria but we are brothers with different views and opinions.....you do not understand the context of gabon and guinea problem which is very different from Cameroon and nigeria by the way guess who was the mediator?

cameroon does not have the highest literacy rate in Africa . .even Nigeria is way higher. .trust me I know about my dear neighbour really well
the countries in Africa that have the highest literacy rate in Africa are zimbabwe, kenya, zaire, equatorial guinea n botswana
Cameroon literacy used to be high before but since that clown paul biya took over=cameroon has gone down the drain. .

Anyways if cameroon wanna join ecowas no problem but i think the cameroonian government wld rather prefer 2 be in CEMAC!
last time i checked Nairaland cameroon nayah said cameroon are proudly central africans and dont want anything to do with west africa

Nigerians are survivors looking for money everywhere. the Nigerians in cameroon are just managing cameroon . .many igbo men are going thru hell with cameroon corrupt police men and wicked people.

Nigerians have not recovered from loosing bakassi. claiming more of our land will destroy the future relationship with cameroon

We once had something with northern Cameroun and it was not bad. Cameroun can bring something good to the stable if they are really keen on joining ecowas. What ecowas is all about is strengthening economic and military ties and elevating the sub region......so it is not a bad idea. I will vote YES!
