One shouldn’t condemn the scared or peacemaker abhorring violence and death but those former indigenes of Bakasi who have the will and strength to return to the land to fight for it will be justified because it’s their land. Nigerians from elsewhere will join them if they start the fight. Besides, there are no shortages of sinister and Vulture-minded people in the international community willing to provide arms and logistics to whomever in Africa wishing to go to war. See Boko. |

you see! another set of group of armed men is about to rise! as usual they will be worst than boko haram just like boko haram is worst than Mend. All these would have been avoided if only aburi-accord(which i called "future of Nigeria"  was accepted by illitrates! by now-Nigeria would be of independent states/regions competing for even development at each side! No need of boko haram cos those places now will be free to have the knd of govt they want! No need of mend cos those places wont have to blame FG but themselves! Lagos wont have to look into anyones eyes to deport any muthe..fucker they dont like to their states! and the country wouldnt have lost so many lives since 70s-till date! Nigeria will be like the UNITED KINGDOM where peace and even development thrive(it doesnt mean we gonna love each other that much but respect each other especially when you aint in your homeland)there wont be hausa occupying gowon land and claiming one nigeria while getting the owners mad! there wont be Igbos talking much in kano or trying to outsmart the owners of land(getting the owners angry) which leads to another killing ppl here and there. Anyway its all about past mistakes though its not late yet, my advise to bakassi indigenes is to forget about this and move on cos I know the wicked Nigeria govt wont come for their aid or else they are palnning to disrupt the flow of oil in the ND which is the best way to get Nigeria govt attention,but surly there will still be many death(its all about sacrifice)but all these would have been avoided in 1967  1 Like |

GABON-EQUATORIAL GUINEA: Neighbours to explore jointly for oil in disputed waters 1 / 1Corisco Bay dispute will not stop offshore explorationShowing image 1 of 1 addis ababa, 7 July 2004 (IRIN) - The leaders of Equatorial Guinea and Gabon have pledged to explore jointly for oil in disputed offshore waters while their quarrel over three small islands in Corisco Bay is settled by UN mediation. Presidents Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea and Omar Bongo of Gabon made the announcement on Tuesday after signing a memorandum of understanding in the presence of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on the sidelines of the African Union summit in Addis Ababa. The two West African leaders told journalists afterwards that in a bid to fight poverty in their countries, they had put aside their simmering disagreement over the Corisco Bay islands. These lie just north of the Gabonese capital Libreville near the border with the continental territory of Equatorial Guinea. The dispute dates back to 1972 and has prevented oil companies from carrying out a full exploration of the surrounding offshore waters. Although both countries have agreed to joint exploration, the issues over sovereignty of their maritime boundaries will still have to be resolved. The leaders said mediation would continue to delimit and then demarcate the territory. "We need to solve this conflict so we have no further problems between us," Obiang said "The main problems are the resources of the sub-soil, the oil. We have to solve this problem of the resources in a very positive fashion," he added. "The most important question here is how to fight against poverty with the resources both states have, how can we better use these resources to fight against poverty." Welcoming the commitment of both leaders to resolve the dispute peacefully, Annan said: "This is a continent with lots of conflicts and I think this is an example to all the leaders that differences can be resolved peacefully," he said. Gabon and Equatorial Guinea had appealed to the UN in 2003 to help resolve their dispute, which arose from different interpretations of maps dating back to 1900. Annan has appointed Yves Fortier, a former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations, as his Special Adviser and mediator on the issue. Both countries have enjoyed the oil bonanza of the past decade. Gabon, whose oilfields are mainly operated by the French multinational Total, is a mature oil producer with an output of 250,000 barrels per day that is currently declining. But Equatorial Guinea, which only discovered oil in 1995, is expanding its offshore oil and gas production rapidly and has overtaken Gabon, with a daily output of around 350,000 barrels. According to the Bank of Central African States (BEAC), which manages the CFA franc currency, used by both countries, Equatorial Guinea has also jumped ahead of Gabon in terms of national prosperity. Its 500,000 people now enjoy a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita income of nearly US$7,000. Gabon's 1.2 million inhabitants have a GDP per capita of less than $5,000 -- although that is still 10 times the average for Sub-Saharan Africa. The Corisco Bay dispute is the latest of several border quarrels to arise in Africa, where hopes of finding oil have encouraged both sides to dig in their heels. Nigeria has been arguing with Cameroon for years over the disputed Bakassi peninsula, which is also thought to control oil-rich offshore waters. Nigeria has agreed in principle to hand over the peninsula, but the two countries have yet to demarcate their territorial waters. |

Tension in Bakassi as Cameroun deploys troops, arms Indigenes want return to homeland, alert on youth restiveness BARELY three months left to end the final ceding of Bakassi, Cameroun has started deploying troops in the peninsular. But Bakassi youths in Nigeria have vowed to take back the peninsular. Nigeria has till October, 2012 to reject the Green Tree Agreement (GTA) or call for a review of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) judgement or permanently forfeit Bakassi. Sources close to Cameroun told The Guardian that “the arms buildup in the peninsular is informed by recent agitations from Nigerians rejecting the ceding of the peninsular to Cameroun and the lower house of the National Assembly declining to ratify the October 10, 2002 ICJ judgement and the June, 2006 GTA. “Our people in Cameroun are not taking chances and as you can see, the government of Cameroun has ordered the intensification of security in the Bakassi peninsular.” The Guardian learnt that the number of Cameroun soldiers in the peninsular has increased and several gunboats have been mobilized recently for any offensive from the Nigerian government or militant groups. Vexed by the loss of 76 oil wells and loss of their ancestral home with ignominy, the people of Bakassi led by their Paramount Ruler Dr. Etim Okon Edet rose in unison at the weekend calling on the United Nations (UN) and the Federal Government to return them to their homeland which was given out without a referendum. At the press briefing which was attended by the Bakassi Chairman Dr. Bassey Ekpo Ekpo, councillors, traditional rulers and others at the Council of Chiefs Chambers, Calabar, Edet said: “This is to inform all Nigerians that the youths of the area are already restive and I as the paramount ruler cannot stop them from resisting now what they consider an unfair treatment by the ICJ, the UN and Nigeria which ignored the human cost of their action. “With total abandonment by Nigeria, the youths threaten to go back to the creeks to render the entire Gulf of Guinea inaccessible to oil and marine exploration activities in collaboration with their Niger Delta compatriots and their Northern sympathizers.” According to him, “they (youths) have threatened that before October 10, 2012, they will take back their Bakassi in whatever means possible if urgent steps are not taken by the Federal Government to address their problems.” Besides returning them to their motherland, the Bakassi people also called for “adequate compensation to CRS (Cross River State) and Bakassi community in perpetuity in ceding their land and holistic relocation and resettlement of Bakassi people to the area of their choice (and) the Federal Government to adopt equitable solution to the 76 oil well saga.” |

CAMEROONPRIDE: many uneducated people on this forum....smh You are very much entitled to your opinion regardless the degree of its shallowness. Evil men on earth can make political and sociological changes that redraw boundaries and grant ownership of certain landmarks to strangers which saw Bakassi as no exception. Even in the so-called contiguous Nigeria, certain communities have ceased to be what they used to be and the inhabitants are miraculously forced into political and social metamorphous. If anybody would have told me that Obigbo will one day become Oyibo and the natives will swear to have hailed from certain faraway distance land across Niger River not even across Imo River, I had busted my veins arguing otherwise. In the 60s, Bakassi was never a contested territory until during and after Nigeria/Biafra civil war. Do you not think it is funny that inhabitants of Bakassi were mainly Efik? Where were the so-called Cameroonians and their ethnicity when the Bakassi was undisputable Nigerian soil? I guess Bakassi could be rightfully classified as the spoils of the war. It is unfortunate Efik people of Bakassi had to swallow this unmitigated neglect and abandonment by Nigerian government. Sometimes, I wished Biafra was success story. 1 Like |
