AwkaFinest:You cannot read or what? They wanted to be independent as a separate country and they believed the agreement they had with Cameroon would guarantee them that instead of joining Nigeria where secession clause does not exist... |

maintenant: They never wanted to be a separate country. Stop the lies and the twisted history. The British never gave them the option of becoming an independent nation, rather the option was either to join Nigeria or join La Republique du Cameroon. After Nigeria's independence in 1960, Enugu remained the capital of Eastern Nigeria which British Cameroon was a part of. Before independence the British Cameroonians held meaningful positions in the parliament of Eastern Nigeria, but after Nigeria's independence, these people were made to be mere floor members. This angered the people, which led to their yarning to be free from Igbo dominance. Then the British stepped in and gave them an offer. Letting them know that they are too small, with limited resources as at then to be a country. It's either they join Nigeria fully or opt for La Republique du Cameroon. They opted for the later, because they needed to run away from Igbo dominance. The northern part opted to join Nigeria because they felt Northern Nigerians treated them better than La Republique du Cameroon. Go and educate yourself on Cameroon plebiscite of 1959 &1961, and The Foumban Conference. |

AwkaFinest:The trash you typing here has no basis in reality but is rather a figment of your warped imagination. Go and read accounts by Anglophone leaders in the current Ambazonia crisis and get your lazy self up to speed instead of spreading defeatist fairy tales... The South Cameroun wanted full independence but were vetoed at the UN by Great Britain. Their leaders were shopping for a better alternative and decided to enter into a quasi-confederal union with the Republic of Cameroun with a secession clause for full independence after some years. The decision of Paul Biya to unilaterally change the constitution to a unitary one is at the root of the crisis... I deal with facts and not beer parlour gossips... |

maintenant: A United Nations referendum was held in British Cameroons on 11 February 1961 to determine whether the territory should join neighbouring Cameroon or Nigeria. This followed an earlier plebiscite in Northern Cameroons in 1959 which voted to postpone a decision. The option of full independence was not on the ballot, having been opposed by Andrew Cohen, the UK representative to the UN Trusteeship Council, as well as African and anti-colonial delegations, notably by E. M. L. Endeley, who favoured independence by joining Nigeria, and John Ngu Foncha, who favoured independence by joining Francophone Cameroon. So the 2 great men from Cameroon who supported joining Nigeria or Cameroon respectively are not Cameroonians. I believe just like Ipob follow whatever crap NMK say, you believe everything Ambozonia warlords say. |

AwkaFinest: You're not far from the truth. Our ancestors harbored a lot of ills towards the Igbos over the very reasons you detailed here. Even if Nigeria is to be balkanized through a referendum today, 95percent of South South indigenes will rather want an independent region than be annexed under the same regional settings with the Igbos. That we exist in peace today is because we know chaos would be detrimental to whatever small strides of growth we're trying to make. |

AwkaFinest:Stop talking what you have no clue... The British Cameroun issue was resolved via a UN-supervised referendum. The enclave was angling for independence but the desire was vetoed by the British at the UN General Assembly leading to the referendum. If independence were not on the cards, why is Ambazonia people angling for separation and independence now with countries like the US and UK asking that all parties should go back to the original agreement. |

maintenant: I'm not here to discuss Ambozonia struggle(whatever they agreed with La Republique is not my business). I'm here to let you know that 1 of the major reasons why they opted out of Nigeria was the inhumane treatment they got from the Igbos, especially after October 1, 1960. |

AwkaFinest:I have no more time for simple-minded elements like you... May we get a documentary prove of your silly assertions? It is clear that you have no interest in intellectual engagement but the furtherance of your petty tribalism. The Southern Cameroun was a UN/British mandate and when it was time to settle their question, they decided to chose the option that will guarantee their independence in the future. You cannot be interest in the connecting the dots to the Ambazonia struggle because you have no interest in facts and truth but only inclined to pursue a sinister objective... Now get out and stay out! |

maintenant: You can continue with the insults, but light will always win over darkness. "Following the Ibadan General Conference of 1950, a new constitution for Nigeria devolved more power to the regions. In the subsequent election thirteen Southern Cameroonian representatives were elected to the Eastern Nigerian House of Assembly in Enugu. In 1953, however, the Southern Cameroons representatives, unhappy with the domineering attitude of Nigerian politicians and lack of unity among the ethnic groups in the Eastern Region, declared a "benevolent neutrality" and withdrew from the assembly." Keep lying to yourself. |
