Football matched are fixed, some referees give strange calls, some player cheat
But people still play football and try to improve
and don't say we will just award points to teams and walk them over

Cameroonians are living in a police state and are told that it is better to have idol they routinely "vote" for rather than have violence-filled elections

Tunisia and Egypt beckon to Cameroon
Were there post election violence in those places?
Wake up

mamikky: National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur on Wednesday revealed that the terrorists behind the unending crises in the Northern parts of the country had concluded plans to secede and declare their own State before the Federal Government struck on Tuesday and declared emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.

Alhaji Tukur who made the revelation in Abuja while receiving in audience a group of journalists from Kaduna State who paid him a courtesy call said that President Goodluck Jonathan settled for emergency rule in the affected states for the sake of unity, peace and stability of Nigeria as a nation.

According to him“Mr President took the last option of declaring a State of Emergency because the terrorists were becoming more daring. They were even planning to declare a state of their own and these happened because many of us believed that the menace of terrorism has been a problem for the north alone.”

Alhaji Tukur, while expressing absolute confidence in the ability of the nation’s armed forces and other security agencies to make the State of Emergency work in the affected states, pleaded with politicians and other stakeholders to rally round the government with every means in their capacity to make the fight against terrorism succeed.

Speaking on why the emergency rule was extended to his state, Adamawa, Alhaji Tukur said that the consideration of the government was that since Borno and Adamawa were geographically contiguous, it made a lot of sense to engage terrorists within the zones broadly in an attempt to break their network and areas of stronghold.

According to him, “though Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states will be feeling the heats of the State of Emergency at the moment, all states of the federation must begin to guard their borders, as a proactive measure for limiting the scope and space for operations of terrorists.

CAMNEWTON4PRES: SO is Nigeria, you brought rigging to another level, with underage people voting and you dare open your mouth about democracy? Dude enough, you ain't ruled by Biya so it shouldn't bother you, democracy or not ..
our democracy is a mess . . . agreed . . but we've started making some slow expensive progress in terms of democracy.
1. people can abuse our president openly. even teenagers, on facebook with their picture, name and address and no fear of arrest.
2. we've seen opposition parties win at local and state elections
3. we've seen a president very reluctant to use military power on the citizens,as we can see it took him 2yrs and hundreds of violent killings to unleash a state of emergency to certain states
4. our corrupt national assembly stopped our former president from extending his tenure at the expense of the constitution. no senator or congressman was arrested for voting no
5. we've seen courts annul elections where the ruling party "won", no judge was arrested
6. we've had a sick president away on treatment for months, no military take-over within that period.
8. we've seen the rise of opposition parties, no harassment by federal authorites.

these are subtle signs that something is happening. one day the rigging will be controlled. in my opinion, we still have this heavy rigging bc of the greed of the opposition parties. if they were wise, they should unite into one big powerful opposition party that will fight the ruling party ward for ward, state for state, polling unit for polling unit. rigging will become more difficult if the opposition party was strong and united. but with weak multiple parties, the PDP just brushes their way past the oppositions by hook or crook.

why didnt they rig in lagos? BC ACN, which is strong in lagos, won't let them. imagine if the opposition parties are equally strong all over the country, rigging will be hard.

but it's gonna happen someday.

.

Residents of Bakassi - an oil-rich territory legally ceded by Nigeria to Cameroon in 2002 -have until August to decide to become Cameroonian or leave the territory. Most residents consider themselves Nigerian.

Accessto the Bakassi Peninsula, located on the Atlantic coast on the Cameroon-Nigeria border, is mostly by speed boats that navigate between the rich mangroves.

The area has been heavily guarded by Cameroonian soldiers since their country took control of the territory from Nigeria on August 14, 2008.

The International Courtof Justice had awarded Bakassi to Cameroon in a 2002 ruling. Nigeria eventually decided not to fight the ruling and ceded control, over the protests of many Bakassi residents. Sporadic attacks from rebels made Cameroon's government deploy forces to maintain law and order. In one attack in February 2011, two Cameroonian soldiers were killed and 11 others were declared missing. A group called the Bakassi Freedom fighters claimed responsibility, vowing that Bakassi will find no peace under Cameroon's rule.

Nigerians constitute 90 percent of the 300,000 people on the peninsula and will have to obtain residence permits and be treated as foreign nationals living in Cameroon if they decide to stay after the August 14 deadline given to them by theICJ.

Many of the Nigerians are still undecided on if they will leave or not. Forty-year-old Glory Benson, a Nigerian teacher, says they have a lot of worries.

"Let us just go to the aspect of women that are pregnant. For the women to deliver here isnot aneasy task. So we want the governmentvto provide a midwife in the hospital here that can be helping us.To be sincere the life here has been very good in terms of security and every thing," Benson said.

Most Nigerians who live in the territory are fishermen. They have created an association to take care of their needs. Their president James Nande, who isabout 50 years old, says the main problem that may force them to leave is that Cameroon's government has taken little care to protect their huts, threatened by waters from the Atlantic.

James Nande says the only problem they have is that water from the ocean is destroying their houses and adds that he is worried because that is where he struggles to raise money and send his children to school.

Ever since the ICJ ruling, the payment of taxes was suspended, but beginning August14, residents of Bakassi will have to start paying their share. JamesNande says although some of his fishermen colleagues have been protesting, he wants them to respect that civic responsibility.

He says when thetime comes, they will have to pay, adding thateven in Nigeria when somebody gets to the standard of paying taxes, he has to pay, but in their village, Djabani in the Bakassi Peninsula, people have not been paying.

Nigerian-born Tom Efiom repairs engine boats in Bakassi. He wants to return to Nigeria but only if he is assured that he can get another job.

Efiom says he will not go to Nigeria because he has no handwork to do there. He says for the time being, it is only in Cameroon that he has the job of an engineboat repairer, and that even though he is living in Cameroon, people use Nigerian currency, the Naira, because CFA Francs used in Cameroon are difficult to come by.

The legacy left by Nigeria is still very present. Nigerians trained many health staff and teachers who are now working for Cameroon. Even thoughCameroon has sent its own teachers to the area, pupils and their parents still prefer the Nigerian system of education they have been acquainted with.

Muffu Chong Pierre, the 35-year-old teacher at a Djabani primary school created by Cameroon, said she and her colleagues are trying to convince parents to keep their children in school.

"The parents are very mobile, they are not stable. They travel with their children to sell. When we struggle to bring up the children, as soon as they know how to read and write, the parents take them to Nigeria at times. When we find it very difficult to get the children at school, I personally and my staff we move from door to door. We do what they call educational evangelism,so as to encourage the children to come to school," Pierre said.

Cameroon has been struggling to make the people, especially the children learn national symbols like the national anthem.

Cameroon still has to guarantee the fundamental rights of Nigerians, before gaining full control of Bakassi, according to the ICJ verdictand the Green tree agreement that Cameroon signed with Nigeria underthe supervision of the United Nations.

Tanda, a Cameroonian expert on Bakassi, thinks that the peace process is right on course.

"The peace process is progressing, the population is getting to know the Cameroon administration better and better. There is consciousness now that acts of vandalism, piracy or questioning Cameroon's sovereignty does not pay. And we are hopeful that by the month of August, things will be much better," Tanda said.

In line with the ICJ , as of this August 14, Cameroon will govern Bakassi like any other part of its territory

Do u think tht Nigeria wld ve treated those dwellers much better if they put up resistance. My bro the Nigeria I know wld nt ve done better.
Evry country I know goes out for it's best interest.
I'm nt speaking for or against anyone here but i just think this ur point of argument against these Cameroonians in defence of ur own country is just not solid enough is just simply sentiment rooted. Look 4 good points to throw at these guys or drop the argument.
