Toaskarity: According to what i heard infact by clark on youtube says that land was never nigeria! it all boils down to when europians scramble africa. I dont know how they are nigerians! Its unfortunate that most of them grew up thinking they were nigerians! But they have to move on. Cameroun has every right to claim it cos its their territory carved by their colonial master jst like lagos is to nigeria instead of rep of benin. I still believe nigeria fed govt shld carry out her promise! Toaskarity: you are looking at the case in a selfish way[url] http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4789647.stm[/url] Could dis video have informed ur opinion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acfj6gqi9xE The views of Clark are very much questionable and misleading, especially as he made no mention of an earlier treaty between the Queen Victoria of Britain and the Obong of Calabar. Bakassi was a contagious territory of Calabar before either Nigeria or Cameroon was declared independent. Bakassi never constituted the entity called Southern Cameroon as the Clark would want us to believe.

One word defines the Bakassi Saga and dat is [size=18pt]Land Grab[/size][/size]. Cameroon saw a border oil rich territory and made a bind for it, promising all the right powers(internationalist) a better deal dan Nigeria for their support. |
Toaskarity: lol but legally they aint nigerians!! they were never nigerians!! Nigeria dint give their land away!The owners just came and took their land. Tho nigeria govt shld live up to their promise! But remember the promise wasnt given by this present govt but its still has to obey it.How do u define Citizenship? On wat grounds do u make the assertion dat they are not Nigerians? Did the Bakassi people exist before Cameroon and Nigeria? Yes or No? On wat grounds do Cameroonians have claim to the territory of an Indigenous people like the Bakassi? Answer these straight forward questions. |
[quote author=Dudu_Negro]This is opportunity for the superpower Biafra to demonstrate the much touted braveness and heroism of its warriors. Here comes a chance to redeem Bakassi and free them from Cameroon....liberate them from the clutches of human rights exploitation and abuse.[/quote]Are u running away from a good cause already? Knee-grow u need to start eatin liver. ![]() |
Toaskarity: alright, that a good nigeria spirit! But I heard all this while it has never been nigeria land as of even when europe scramble africa! Its unfortunate cameroun recently now wants their land back! We have so many issues to tackle than a tiny island that was never ours! Ppl there shld get over it or move into nigeria. There isnt much different from been a cameroun or a nigeria... Same third world countries.Nigeria government have not resettled the Bakassi people either. They gave their land away and turned their back on dem to become wanderers like gypsy. That is morally unacceptable, the Nigeria government should relocate its citizens. |
Toaskarity: Mrs bliss, are you from bakassi?@ Toaskarity. Nigeria resources are for Nigerians. Niger Delta resources served all Nigeria and Bakassi fight is for all Nigerians. I will try to keep Nairaland posted on events in dat part of the world, so dey know dey are not forgotten. |

Displaced Bakassi fishermen protest in Calabar Posted by: Nicholas Kalu, Calabar Posted date: October 13, 2012 In: News | comment Hundreds of Nigerian fishermen displaced from the ceded Bakassi Peninsula on Friday marched through the streets of Calabar, protesting alleged rape of their women and harrassment by Cameroon gendarmes. They also lamented homelessness and inability to assess the waters for their fishing business. The protesters said they were residing at the ceded peninsula before the Federal Government surrendered it to Cameroon. Some of the placards by the protesting fishermen had inscriptions such as “Our women/children have been abused sexually due to the loss of our land,” “Bakassi returnees are not settled, yet the land has been ceded, where do we stand? “We have lost so much, houses, farmlands, products, canoes, fishing nets etc, how do we start all over? At the governor’s office,, their spokesperson said they were the affected returnees in Bakassi Peninsula ceded to Cameroon and that they protested to inform the governor what they had lost and the pains they were passing through. He said: “Bakassi is our ancestral land and we were born and brought up there. Our parents trained us there, but now we cannot have access to our homeland. We are over 2, 500 returnees that came back in 2009, up till now, we don’t have accommodation. “When the governor came here, he promised us 100 units of houses, but up till now, there is no foundation. We do not have medical facilities and it seems to us that we don’t even have a future. The governor had approved N5, 000 to each of us every month, but those in charge have not paid us for some time now. We are disappointed that government did not appeal against the ICJ judgment. “Where we are staying now, any of the returnees that dies there, there is no place to bury the person as we are not allowed to bury our dead at the place,” he said.[url] http://thenationonlineng.net/new/news/displaced-bakassi-fishermen-protest-in-calabar/[/url] |
Atiku president Odili vice presidentNything right now is a better substitute to GEJ administration for real. Don't tink does two would miss the opportunity of an appeal for Bakassi. |
interesting read... Not sure will vote Fashola after the deportation saga. Not sure will vote any south westerner after the Bakassi sell out. Just speakin my opinion, i don't forget easily. Sorry but the southwest will have to produce a candidate dat will not sell Nigeria, convincingly. |

Nigeria oil spills: Shell rejects liability claim The Nigerian farmers and their legal team argue that Shell could have prevented the spills Continue reading the main story Nigeria's Deadly Delta Illegal oil refineries Precarious oil amnesty 'World oil pollution capital' 'Blood oil' dripping from Nigeria The Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell has rejected claims by four Nigerian farmers that it should pay compensation for damage to their land. The farmers are suing the company in a civil court in The Hague, claiming oil spills ruined their livelihoods. Shell's lawyers told the court it could not be held liable because most spills were caused by criminal damage. They said repairs were hard to carry out because of insecurity in the Niger Delta. Shell lawyer Jan de Bie Leuveling Tjeenk told the court that sabotage and oil theft were widespread in the region. The case is being brought against Shell by the farmers and the Dutch arm of the environmental group Friends of the Earth. Shell's Allard Castelein blamed "sabotage and oil theft" for the spills If their case is successful it could pave the way for thousands of other compensation claims, says the BBC's Anna Holligan in The Hague. It is the first time a Dutch multinational has been taken to a civil court in the Netherlands in connection with damage caused abroad. The case is linked to spills in Goi, Ogoniland; Oruma in Bayelsa State and a third in Ikot Ada Udo, Akwa Ibom State. 'Sabotage' Earlier, Channa Samkalden, lawyer for the Nigerians, told the court that Shell had failed to maintain its pipelines, clean up leaks and prevent pollution. "Shell knew for a long time that the pipeline was damaged but didn't do anything. They could have stopped the leaks," she said. Judges are now considering the evidence and a ruling is expected early next year. Continue reading the main story Ogoni Oil: Troubled History 1958: Oil struck in Ogoniland. It lies in what is now one of Nigeria's wealthiest states. Most Nigerians live on less than $2 a day 1993: Large-scale protests by Ogoni people over neglect by government and Shell, led by Mosop group co-founded by activist Ken Saro-Wiwa 1993: Shell pulls out of Ogoniland 1994: Four community leaders killed. Mosop leaders including Ken Saro-Wiwa arrested 1995: Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others executed by military government, sparking international outrage 2009: Shell reaches $15.5m (£9.7m) settlement with families to stop case accusing it of complicity in Saro-Wiwa's death and other human rights abuses 2008-09: Shell accepts liability for two spills in Ogoniland 2011: UN report says it could take Ogoniland 30 years to recover fully from damage caused by years of oil spills Speaking to the BBC before the hearing, one of the plaintiffs, Friday Alfred Akpan from the village of Ikot Ada Udo, said the oil leaks in his village had badly damaged his 47 fish ponds. "Fish died as a result of the oil spill, making it difficult for me to live and put my children through school." He told the BBC's Newsday programme he wanted compensation for the loss, and for Shell to clean up the spill. Shell official Allard Castelein told the BBC the spills in question "were all caused by sabotage". "I mean, there's video evidence. There's signed testimonies by joint investigation teams that are constituted of the local municipality, the company, the government." In a statement, the company said: "The real tragedy of the Niger Delta is the widespread and continual criminal activity, including sabotage, theft and illegal refining, that causes the vast majority of oil spills. "It is this criminality which all organisations with an interest in Nigeria's future should focus their efforts on highlighting and addressing." Shell says it has cleaned up pollution at the three locations in question and this has been certified by relevant Nigerian authorities. Militant groups have for years waged a violent campaign in the Niger Delta, demanding that local people see more of the benefits of the region's oil wealth - there is also a huge problem of oil theft in the area. Last year, a report by the United Nations Environment Programme said that over half a century of oil operation in the region, by firms including Shell, had caused deeper damage to the Ogoniland area of the Niger Delta than earlier estimated. The company has accepted responsibility for two specific spills in the region in 2008, saying it would settle the case under Nigerian law.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19905694
