Cameroon's Anglophone Regions Granted Special Status by selemempe: 11:57am On Dec 20, 2019 |
Lawmakers in Cameroon on Wednesday adopted a draft law on decentralization granting special status to the country’s two English-speaking regions, where a deadly conflict between the army and separatists has been going on for more than two years, according to national radio. https://www.africanews.com/amp/2019/12/19/cameroon-s-anglophone-regions-granted-special-status/ |

In a multi ethnic state, the only reasonable system of government is federalism. It's nonsensical when you hear a SAN and professor like Osinbajo saying otherwise. We have to understand that we are not one. That is the only way for us to organise and progress. Nigeria should give the six geopolitical zones great autonomy to organise their security and economy and tackle their basic infrastructure needs 2 Likes |

As an African, anything short of full independence for Ambazonians is a complete joke. Some folks will shout federalism but it takes human beings to make any system work. Africans do not know how to cohabit with people of different culture and religion. 2 Likes |

Dedetwo:That is why I wake up everyday to hear and read taunts on Igbos by the North and The SW on a daily basis. It's sickening. Nigeria needs to divide. 3 Likes |

Dreal1247: Granting regional/state autonomy like Barcelona and these Cameroonian regions have would -to a large extent- take the wind out of the sails of the Biafran agitation for secession! All we want is to be able to determine and control our own destiny and resources, and this can either be as a independent country or within a 'Nigeria' framework! But we all know who will oppose such a move don't we? 1 Like |

Dreal1247: Only by constitutional amendments. Special status in parliamentary systems just mean you have it until we revoke it. Spain can dissolve Catalan parliament for example. Dedetwo: If they want independence then they should win their war. Its that simple. I personally think federalism would be better. It work for Canada with two different languages. How the power is divided is what makes difference. President for life Biya wouldn't interfere for pragmatic reasons. |

Blue3k: Did the idiotic Cameroon win any war to gain independence? Most Africans have stream of thought which could easily assign them to the firing squad. Did you not read my initial post that Africans have issue cohabiting with persons of different culture? Is Canada an African country? We Africans must find the system of government that will work for us. We must stop the silly cow-towing to the gurgitation of Europeans. 3 Likes |

Dedetwo: Colonies were granted independence because the colonial powers to weak to maintain them. Cameroon and Ambazonnia circumstances aren't the same. I read your comments about Africans having issues. I already gave you a counter argument saying president for life biya has resolve those issues for pragmatic reasons. There's nothing wrong with federalism unless you're suggesing confederacy. Again they have to win independence or their reps have to suggest it. |

A Lil bit more understanding would have allowed you to realise that VP Osinbajo statement was a comparative as to that which was more expedient. Unless of course you believe that the day that regionalism is entrenched, the next day all our problems would disappear. selemempe: |
