“we Will Surprise Nigerians After October 10″ – Bakassi Traditional Ruler by davades(m): 3:09pm On Sep 28, 2012
Paramount ruler of Bakassi Local
Government Area and Chairman of the
Cross River State traditional rulers’
council, Dr Edet Okon Etim, has warned
that Nigerians should expect shocker
after October 10, which is the 10th
anniversary of the ceding of the region
to Cameroun by the International Court
of Justice (ICJ).
The monarch said, “I am very sure that
something significant will happen on or
before the 10th of October” Etim, who
was reacting to a comment by President
Goodluck Jonathan, where he was
quoted to have said that there was no
need to appeal, affirmed
“If truly the Federal Government
refuses to appeal the judgment, then
no one should be surprised by what will
happen in Nigeria after October 10.”
The House of Representatives
Committee on Foreign Treaties and
agreements, Yacoob Bush-Alebiosu who
visited the area two months ago said
that, “President Jonathan should send
an appeal to the ICJ immediately
otherwise, from what we have gathered,
after October this year, we may have
another problem on our hands. We pray
that it does not happen, because if it
starts, I can assure you that the
disintegration of this country will start
from there. The people of Bakassi are
very sad and I believe government
must do something,” he said
Speaking further, the monarch affirmed
that they are tired of being treated as
second class citizens in their own
country. He said: ‘We want to leave but
the law continued to hinder us because
the law pretends that we are Nigerians
but we cannot be Nigerians with having
a foot hold on our land or concede our
land to Cameroon. We have said it
clearly that before Nigeria and
Cameroon, there was Bakassi, we don’t
need Nigeria to define and determine
our existence, but one point is clear,
today it may be Bakassi and tomorrow
it may be Otueke. If we are used as
sacrificial lamb today, it may be another
group tomorrow”

Gosh, the link appears broken. Poster, please give us the correct link. However, if this piece is true, I'll just say this: "He who has ears, let him hear & act accordingly". A word is enough for the wise, IMO. Moderator, is this not front page news? God bless Nigeria.

POIGNANT. Nigeria doesn't give a damn about its citizens, and yet expects patriotism as a given. I must say I have never gotten that.
