Billyonaire: Cross River has landmass that can accommodate everyone in Lagos and Ogun State, yet the landmass is virtually uninhabited, they should relocate the people and rehabilitate them. Such programs are going on in China where whole villages are moved to newly built counties. That is what they should demand from the FGN if their interest was not oil. There is no reason why one person should die in a communal fight.

Bliss4Lyfe: Bakassi must not accept dis injustice. OBJ AND GEJ have set in motion events leading to the disintegration of Nigeria. And GEJ is about to nail it to perpetuity if he refuses to appeal. thats the fact. |

Bliss4Lyfe: With everyday dat goes by, I am less and less convinced GEJ was the best choice for President. If not all dis terrorism in the North dat Buhari is blamed for, I will right now start campaigning for Buhari Presidency. And u should know by now that the General has nothing to do with the terrorism going on. people just like misusing their mouth. Its a free world afterall |

I commiserate with the people of Bakassi, but sincerely, I think FG's decision not to appeal the 2012 judgment may have been based on a critical assessment of what Nigeria stands to lose should the appeal lack clear-cut merit. Since the people of Bakassi are Nigerians, any reasonable government would not disembark on reclaiming the territory provided there is enough facts to do so. Let's not blame GEj for not pursuing an appeal of the judgement; damage was done to the case during the 'Green-Tree' agreement. However, President Jonathan should ensure that these Bakassi people are not left to their fate, as spirited effort must be made to re-integrate them into the Nigerian society, whilst making available welfare packages to cushion the gross effects of their loss. 1 Like |

I pity my state! first it was the ceding of this bakassi, later came the seizure of 76 oil wells, then the final collection of bakassi by cameroon! these bunch of fools in government have completely destroyed the state! even the much hyped TINAPA business resort is now a monument, our yoruba brothers are scared of loosing lagos "economic status" hence the keep preventing discentralization of the port strength! they have connived with powers that be to rip the state and other south south states of that ambition and the fools down south have refused to see this for themselves I pity them! What china is doing is succeeding because the are people who care about the lives of their citizenry! not a country like nigeria! |

Why are we shifting the blame to GEJ in this case? Bakassi was ceded to Cameroun ten years ago when OBJ was the president. Why not challenge the ICJ immediately then? Why the fire brigade approach now that the period of grace is almost elapsed? Every concerned Nigerian should hold OBJ responsible for this laxity & not GEJ. I am not holding brief for GEJ though. |

Demdem: When the Northern Muslim were ruling Nigeria, at least we had a National Airline and Bakassi was Nigeria territory. These other groups dat want the Presidency are not upright and very twisted. How can any President of Nigeria sell our National Pride, Airline and territory. No Northern Muslim leader would do such. Abacha was prepared to go to War with even Britain and America over Nigeria Airways and Cameroon over Bakassi. |

Since the people of Bakassi are Nigerians, any reasonable government would not disembark on reclaiming the territory provided there is enough facts to do so.what does nigeria stand to lose? the fact that we have been tagged criminals, dubes, thieves, 419ners, cun-men, ritualists, terrorists, assassins, armed-bandits, cowards, corrupt, etc is enough to hadden us. we should for once accept whatever names they call us! because even after a small good out of this country we are still not appreciated! I wish I had putin's, chavez's, ahmadinajad's, etc heart they really won't like nigeria! the worse they can do is go into the skies and kill innocent citizens as in afghanistan, iraq, hiroshima, nagasaki et al! we shouldn't claim to be good people when people have already labelled us bad! afterall it is still these same african countries we pity and do good for that stab us behind at the end of the day! when would we learn this fact; that no one gives a damn about us or our goodness! countries struggle to hold onto what they have got, we jubilate dashing out the little we have which impact is not even felt by the common man in nigeria! I'm beginning to think that the best rule this country ever had was that of the military! it isn't just about bakassi; check our sports sector, every thing has gone kaput because these criminal civilians are only greedy and stick to what favors them and their families alone! we go see o! this nonsense is goin to stop someday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Like |

Why is GEJ blamed for what happened 10years ago? These Senate / Reps are just bunch of toothless bulldogs and hypocrites. How many of them could raise such against OBJ during his tenure. They waited 10 good years and now making senseless noise when the whole thing is getting late already I only feel for the people of Bakassi who does not even know the exact place they belong to right now. Still, they have someone representing them in the Senate. What exactly is he still doing there? |

That is the more reason why we should throw sentiment away and always vote for the right person. If he could behave this way to his own region , you can now see what the rest of us are passing through in the other parts of the country. If there is no other option, you better calm down and negotiate a better option with your new country( Cameroun). Best of luck. |

This is the MOST IRRESPONSIBLE GOVT i have ever heard of or seen. U have 10 (TEN) years to prepare an appeal then at the last minute you shout "NO TIME". Rather pathetic and lame excuse for an ineffective govt IF GEJ gave a directive to prepare an appeal. I think it should be followed to the letter. If it is not, then it means his subjects do not respect him and he has NO control over those he appoints. A weak president. But things i do not understand are (1) Falana claims the Nigerian government pays monthly allocations to the Bakasi people (who also claim they are Nigerians). So who is collecting these monies? Or does the govt pay the money to the Cameroonian govt? There MUST account for all these monies too then. (2) Why did Cameroon not raise any issue during the Nigerian military regimes. I recall Abacha ordering troops there to secure the land and ordered "shoot anything there even if it is a fly carrying a Cameroonian flag". why dint Cameroon say a thing then? The obvious reason to me is dat Abacha was a ruthless leader (like any other military ruler). Very unlike the WEAK sorry ULTRA WEAK president u have now. Such a land will not be given up by USA or Britain when they know it has oil. The Falkland island off the coast of Argentina is a good point of reference here. But Ita-Giwa is also a major culprit in this whole affair. I suspect she has collected money (when she was in charge of the Bakassi affair under Obasanjo) to "sell" Bakassi to Cameroon. Knowlingly OR unknowlingly Again, i wont be surprised if the French and British have simply used us to play tapaleh (draughts). The British just perhaps compensating the French by making Nigeria foolishly give Cameroon (Franco-phone country) Bakassi. Well, like I ALWAYS say, and like Festus Keyamo, Fela Anikulapo, said WE MUST MAKE THESE LEGISLATORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS even if it means mass riots and protest. When u think of the fact that the Bakassi people are claiming Nigeria and the Federal Govt is denying them, I am forced to agree with the Ibos, Ojukwu and the Biafra state breakaway. after all if the country called Nigeria cant protect you or fight for your interest then why should you remain a part of it. Such actions by the Fed Govt only sends out a wrong signal to different ethnic groups who may become agitated to break away especially at a time when the polity is getting tense 1 Like |

The CRS government were unconcerned about Bakassi until when they lost their 76 oil well and their designation of as an oil producing State . . . Who are they trying to deceive by forcing the FG into an hasty appeal that might embarrass her considering the deep underlying international politics . . . |
| Re: Bakassi: C-river Challenges Adoke, Says ‘we Presented New Facts’ by Twoboys: 2:41pm On Oct 10, 2012 |
I must admit that the Bakassi saga is most unfortunate and i sympathsize with all nigerians in general and the people of Bakassi in particular. However, the truth be told that a lot of emotions are understandbly going with this and most of our actions and reactions have been driven by emotions. This is a legal matter now and the critical decisions required to be made by our leaders MUST be legally informed and viable. Am not a legal person and as such can not take a view, but am sure if this was a personal matter i will be seeking legal advise with the pro and con fully understood after which the right decision, not political or emotional decision would be made.If such legal advice to the government has been convincily against an appeal, then all efforts, time,money and other resources should rather be dedicated to re-settling our people in a decent and befitting environment. Other meaningful alternative would be dialogue with cameroun as to getting the rights of our people protected. |
