My Mouth: would they hv made that treat if it were Abacha? guys go and read ur history, france is a world power bt hw many wars have they won in History? They are onu good in starting wars and pullin out wen it gets hot. e.g vitnem



Thanks for that if Duke can come out and say he is afraid of France then he is not fit to rule us, I learnt he had presidential ambitions this is how he would give this country out to super powers all in the name that they are so powerful.

It shows that they read and they gather themselves with thieves and are there to loot and give out part of our country.

Please apart from the uncivil war of 1967 which was fought and won by a combination of Soviet union military war heads British empire military ammunition and arsenal, Egypt and East Germany pilots, chadian mercenary, Niger Republic mercenaries support from Arab world AndOAU, how many other wars has Nigeria contemplated, fought, participated, won, drew or even lost. If the military gang up I mentioned above had supported biafra we all know what the outcome wouldn't have been.
This question is what happened to the overnight generals who swore to spill the last drop of their hypocritical blood for Nigeria when Cameroon took bakassi , did they need an abacha before spilling the last drop of their useless blood

gare: It was wrong of Nigeria to have released Bakasi to Cameroon,France would not have done anything,how many wars has France won in thier history,the French people are cowards.

Its very unfortunate that our leaders he could have stood their grounds gave in to the judgment, it is gone now and what are we doing to ensure that we have a strong military to protect this country.
It is never too late. We can still get back the land.

Nigeria have only fought under-armed rebels and not any organized military outfit in a full blown war.Any general gloating about defeating under-armed rebels is a fool.

One_Naira: So that's why Nigeria chickened out. Without UK,USA,China and many other nations backing them up, they can't get balls to fight France. LMFAO, the same nation that's always running their mouth on how it's "superior" military defeated Biafra even with France backing it up. Roflmao.
Why are you this retarded,name one african country that can face france in any war and win.And must your useless biafra be mentioned on every thread.

This is why we need nuclear deterents with ICBM capabilities against countries like france.
Anyway,i don't believe this story.
Any attack on Nigeria from france would lead to quick reprisals against cameroon,and france could also lose their economic influence in west africa.
So unless france is stupidd enough to endanger their economy for cameroon, then this story is BS.

Germany Ceded Alsace-Lorraine to France in 1918(Treaty of Vienna)..What happened on 4th August 1939? They reclaimed it when opportunity presented itself!

If America believes Taiwan would remain Independent of the Chinese Mainland forever, then it is a Pitiful Grandiose Delusion!
The Complete Reunification of China is merely a matter of Time!

The Unification of the Korean Peninsula is also a Matter of Time! Both Koreas have Unification Ministries! America is merely Polarising the Peninsula because it serves her Strategic Interest in SouthEast Asia!

Nigeria by Ceding away the Bakassi Peninsula did the Right thing considering the Circumstances! We have ceded it, but have NOT forgotten it!
Soon, Tables would turn, Alliances would Shift, Opportunity shall present itself, and we will reclaim what is ours!

Do Not Despair my People! In International Diplomacy, Patience is an indispensable Tool!

Happy Independence True Patriots!
May God bless your Families

that's so true I don't know why,but won't it affect Nigeria's relationship with America? U know America is NATO which includes 3 major powers( America,Britain and France) while Russia is Soviet union. You know an attack on any NATO member is an attack on all. But I don't fully understand how this thing work,wish you could lecture me a bit.

This i8s what we get when we have sissies as leaders. It's like someone coming to a house you own and claim ownership of your house, wife and children and you give it to him because Baba Iyabo threatened to deal with you. Even if we don't have the armory to engage France, we should always stand our ground and not be intimidated. That's why i like Mugabe. Something like that will not happen under his nose.

Am finding difficult to believe Duke used words in such manner.

In politics,local or international,once interests can be taped or manipulated then nothing is impossible,nigeria can still stand against france.

France cannot dare attacking us.I know they have a superior military power but they can't because America can never allow that taking into consideration that Nigeria is the most strategic partners of US in Africa and also a big oil supplier to the US economy.

Sunny_bobo: If they couldn't fight Biafra without the help of Britain, Russia and Egypt, how did you expect them to fight France?

^^^Profound statement! smiley That's why i laugh at peeps that say, 'you went to war with cutlass and we crushed you guys'!

How come they couldn't defeat 'little' Biafra in one year, but needed the help of countries like Egypt and world powers to 'crush' them?......shamelessly handing over Bakassi in the process!

If not for some miscalculations Ojukwu made, coupled with short sighted actions of traitors nearer home....if not for this, we could have witnessed a new dawn for all the peoples that make up the area formerly known as Southern Nigeria and the colony/protectorate of Lagos! We would have been the greatest black nation/s on mother earth!

If my memory serves me correctly, Nigerian forces occupied the peninsula from the Abacha regime to when it was finally handed over... If that be the case, that would mean the military threat was issued after the icj judgement.. The question is where were french during those years? What rili happend was dat during the shagari regime, a security document detailing how nigeria would capture younde in 2 wks was leaked to the french. With this document, the the french govt threatened shagari with military action if cameroum was attacked, hence, the proposed military campaign against yaounde was cancelled.. This and coupled with the chadian boarder dispute were sum of the events at the time that undermined shagari's govt(by angering the military), hence setting the stage for a military coup.. But the question remains; where were d french when nigeria occupied majority of the community making up bakassi under the abacha regime?

Symphony007: It's so shamefull that most of this francophone african countries are just independent in name only. They can't sneeze without the permission from paris. Yet the world and indeed anglophone countries keep berating britain from colonialism, they have washed their hands off your country. But france is still actively practising colonialism and no one is saying anything. It's just stupid.

You can't repel external aggression without the assistance of Britain. All your internal policies must be approved at 42 Downing Street. You are eternally dependent on your Britain. Tell me how you are different from the countries you berate?

Story story story. Abacha chased the Camerounians far out of Bakassi and within some kilometers to Younde. Nigerian military killed many French troops in the battle of Bakassi and set up a permanent military F.O.B complete with weapons of mass destruction which the useless obj dismantled.
The Camerounians were awestruck whem Nigeria army was evacuating Bakassi.
Only ignorant folks out here will believe whatever they read.
