Here is what is happening now. A hausa/fulani is at the helm of affairs, therefore these so-called militants from the Niger delta want everything, even that they know they can't have. And if they can't have it, then they use that as an excuse to cause havoc. This is the reality as is.

n don't u think they are stewpid ? y drag cameroon who is already eyeing some of our lands and oil into this?so Hausa Fulani wont team with Cameroon to deal with these guys ......and you know what the implication is....

989900:
Bakassi was ceded to Cameroon by an international court.

so you see these guys drawing international wrath already? n who says Cameroon won't b interested in more' Bakasis'....these guys are stewpid! ringing fences around themselves already .

I hope this is a joke, this is non issue has already been fixed, Obasanjo promised to relocate them, if they are not happy with levies and taxation they should relocate to Nigeria .simple as that it is not a if we want them there or anything, some of them have moved on and applied for citizenship,others who still think it is business as usual and want to remain Nigerian will simply b treated as foreigners , there are millions of Nigerians I'm cameroon , you only have to renew your sejour card, I have never heard of them being harassed so I don't know why these ones will expect a special treatment.

These militants should take this particular demand to the ICJ.

I can't wait to see the end of this ever demanding, unreasonable, bellicose, pugnacious, impetus and clueless militants. Unknown to them, they are digging their own graves.

The militants are obviously high on fumes from burning pipelines.

No fewer than 642 militants on Friday asked the Federal Government to reclaim the ceded Bakassi Peninsular from Cameroon.
The armed group, referred to as Bakassi Strike Force, said apart from not being carried along before, during and after the ceding process, indigenes of Bakassi had been neglected by the Federal Government and other local and international stakeholders.




The militants, also known as Esighi group, had a one-hour boat display with heavy weapons around Esighi axis of Bakassi, before proceeding to Esuk-Mba.
In a sheer display of its combat readiness, the group brandished weapons such as sophisticated gun boats, browning machine gun and rocket launchers, among others.
While admitting that they would be ready to embrace amnesty if extended to them, leader of the group, Gen. Simply, also known as Humble Lion, said the people of Cross River and Akwa Ibom states had been sidelined by the Federal Government in the amnesty programme.


Simply, who read from a prepared speech, said, “The Bakassi Strike Force is an indigenous group made up of youths from Akwa Ibom and Cross River states, totaling 642 foot soldiers. You will agree with me that Akwa Ibom and Cross River states are part of the Niger Delta region, yet we have been sidelined from the amnesty scheme and other empowerment programmes for the youth of the area.
“Yet it will interest you to note that it is in Obubra, Cross River State, that the team of Niger Delta militants were hosted, when Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Ondo states refused to host the rehabilitation camp for the militants.
“Again, the Federal Government took away our oil rich Bakassi from us and handed it over to Cameroon. We, as indigenes and habitants, were not consulted before this was done; neither was there any constitutional resettlement process initiated for the displaced persons.
“To make matters worse, after taking over our land, the Cameroonian forces began to harass and molest our people. They even levied us with heavy taxes which became entirely unbearable.
“Therefore, when it became obvious after several petitions that the federal and state governments were not ready to protect us and even the United Nations, we invited our Ijaw brothers who were already in the arms struggle to resist the Cameroonian operatives, but unfortunately, they embraced Federal Government amnesty programme when it was offered and abandoned us.
“As indigenous youths, we have no other option than rise to defend ourselves from the oppression and injustice from the Cameroonian forces. The Federal Government should reclaim Bakassi from Cameroon.”

Good. Bakassi belongs to Nigeria, or deserves Independence from both Nigeria and Cameroon. The ceding was outrageous and these militants at least deserve the support of all Nigerians and in fact the world for the loss of their lands. Their fight is a just one.

Can you care to tell us how exactly bakassi belongs to Nigeria ? While there were letters from your FG begging the Cam Govt to use bakassi during your civil war ? There were letters from your govt to buy it from Cameroon. ? Or you think you know better than Gowon, Obasanjo and international lawyers ? You are practicing what you condemn so often , talking from ignorance and with emotions like the typical Africans ....I hope they know we will use them as targets practice should they spill their violence over ...
