Nigeria may lose 24 councils to new UN state

‘Obasanjo, Biya ceded territories in 2003’

By July 10 this year, Nigeria may lose 24 local councils, by way of ceding, to a new country to be known as United Nations Organisation (UNO) State of Cameroon at its borders with la Republique du Cameroun.

The Guardian learnt that the withdrawal of his country’s soldiers by President Paul Biya from the southern part of the planned UNO State of Cameroon has set the stage for the creation of the new state being spearheaded by the UN.

The withdrawal of troops by Biya was formally demanded by the former President of the United Nations General Assembly, Ali A. Treki on May 20, 2020. This was disclosed in a May 26, 2020 letter of the UNO State of Cameroon to Prof. Martins Chia Ateh, the United Nations-appointed workshops coordinator in Cameroon and Nigeria.

Ateh said in the letter: “Greetings and thank you very much for the attached list of those who were detained in the Nkambe prison of Cameroon in August 2008.

“It is only now that the soldiers of la Republique du Cameroun are being withdrawn from the southern part of UNO State of Cameroon.” He said it was a good thing Treki kept the records straight.

On UN’s creation of a new country in Africa, Ateh said: “I should be getting back to you once the United Nations finishes with an official announcement on the existence of UNO State of Cameroon to the international community.”


While conceiving the new state, the former UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan invited former President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria and Biya of Cameroon to sign documents respecting their countries’ international boundaries.

It was learnt that Obasanjo and Biya signed the documents in March 2003 to cede their twin territories (Northern and Southern Cameroons) to the proposed UNO new country in West and Central Africa.

The UN, according to recent reports, pledged to actualize a new State of Cameroon on July 10, 2020.

Residents of Southern Cameroon were excited over the merger of their land with Northern Cameroon in Nigeria, comprising 24 local government areas in Borno (five), Adamawa (12) and Taraba (seven) states.

The Guardian learnt that the Southern Cameroon residents have since last year during their agitations to separate tagged the UNO State of Cameroon as “Ambazonia.”


In Nigeria, the new country’s landmass extends from Bakassi Peninsula in Cross River State to Ngala Local Government Area of Borno State in the Lake Chad region.

While responding to ceding five local government areas from Borno State, an aide to Governor Babagana Zulum said: “We’ll study the recent unfolding developments on ceding Bama, Gwoza, Dikwa, Kala/Balge and Ngala councils to the UNO State of Cameroon.

“The state government will also be liaising with federal agencies on how to cede the affected local government areas as Obasanjo and Biya had signed documents with the UN to respect their international boundaries.”

According to the UN workshop coordinator and chairman, steering committee, Ateh, the councils to be ceded to UNO State of Cameroon, include Bama, Gwoza, Ngala, Kala/Balge, Dikwa. Others include Madagali, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Mayo/Belwa, Toungo, Ganye, Serti, Hong, Jada, Maiha and Jada councils.

It was learnt that before the announcement of the new state, the UN had kept Northern and Southern Cameroons under watch since Obasanjo and Biya signed the documents under the UN treaty.

Meanwhile, the Secretary-General of UN, Antonio Guterres has commenced the process of sensitization towards the July 10 date of creating the new state for the Anglophone separatists in Cameroon.

According to reports, Guterres has continuously reached out to the UNrepresentative in charge of the territories, Ateh to constantly organize sensitisation workshops on the brief history of the UNO State of Cameroon.

The UN is determined and constantly fingered as an interested party in the arrangement to actualize the new state.

The Nigerian government has been urged to carry out an investigation to establish the facts surrounding the ceding of 24 local government areas to create a new country.

According to Google Map, Nigeria, particularly in the Northeast region with a decade-long Boko Haram insurgency is sandwiched between its territory and Cameroon Republics, with Bakassi Peninsula and Lake Chad located south and northeast of the UNO State of Cameroon.

The new state will have a total landmass of 28, 214 square km with an estimated population of 20 million people. Last year’s 72-hour ultimatum given by the United States (U.S.) to Cameroon to withdraw its troops from la Republique du Cameroons was heeded by President Paul Biya last month.

Before the pullout, neither the U.S nor Cameroon had responded to the expiration date until Treki asked Biya to withdraw his troops.

The Speaker of the Cameroonian National Assembly, Cavage Yeguie Djibrilhad also asked the Cameroonian government to fully implement the new law on decentralization that seeks to grant greater power to local councils and regions.

Consequently, Biya signed the law on the promotion of official language in Cameroon, settlement law of the Republic of Cameroon for2020 financial year, last December.

The bill addresses the creation of assemblies of chiefs, regional assemblies and councils with each of the two territories having elected presidents, vice president, secretaries and public affairs management controllers.

https://guardian.ng/news/nigeria/biya-withdraws-troops-from-southern-cameroons-for-un-state/

The President of Cameroon, Mr. Paul Biya; has ordered the withdrawal of soldiers of la Republique du Cameroun from the south part of UNO state of Cameroon. The withdrawal of troops was asked by President of the United Nations General Assembly, Ali A. Treki on May 20, 2020. This was disclosed in May 26, 2020 letter of the UNO State of Cameroon to Prof. Martins Chia Ateh, the UN workshops coordinator.

“Greeting and thank you very much for the attached list of those who were detained in Nkambe prison in August 2008.
“You will be surprised to note that it is only now that the soldiers of la Republique du Cameroun are being withdrawn from the southern part of UNO State of Cameroon,” said Prof. Ateh in the letter.

“It is a good thing you have kept the records straight,” he noted.

On UN’s declaration of new country, he said: “I should be getting back to you once the United Nations finishes with official announcement on the existence of UNO State of Cameroon to international community.”

According to the Google map of UNO State of Cameroon, comprises northern and southern Cameroons. Twenty four Local Government Areas in the Northeast, Nigeria are being demarcated to form Northern Cameroons. The ceded councils to Northern Cameroons include, 24 councils in Borno (five), Adamawa (12) and Taraba (seven) states. According to UN workshop coordinator and Chairman, steering committee, Prof. Ateh, the demarcated councils, include Bama, Gwoza, Ngala, Kala/Balge, Dikwa in Borno state. While, Madagali, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Mayo/Belwa, Toungo, Ganye, Serti, Hong, Jada, Maiha, Jada and seven others are in Adamawa and Taraba states.

The UN has also kept an eagle-eye watch on Northern and Southern Cameroons; since Obasanjo and Biya signed the documents on respect of their boundaries. Secretary General of UN, Antonio Guterres has since 2018 commenced the process of sensitization towards the July 10 date of creating UNO State of Cameroon.

As long as it is Borno state, it is welcome. Cameroon could stop Boko Haram killings there.

then boko haram will not be Nigeria issue again....
and Cameroonian soldiers will deal with them unlike in Nigeria where there is so much mutiny, sabotage, and corruption in military wing

One of the reasons why its not good to have critical infrastructures on border states. Imagine if their was to be a UN boundary adjustment, and its gone.

I wonder why Buhari decided to build Nigeria's transport uni in Daura. At the most extreme point of Nigeria.

I doubt if Bornu and Adamawa will agree to join. Who would leave a rich country like Nigeria to form a poor country

What's this supposed to mean

Remains Biafra and Oduduwa republic

kolework

N

Mheen!

Biafra loading.
God bless Igbo land.

I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.

Then BH becomes Cameroon's priority which they're capable of hence Nigeria's problem keep on reducing.So it's good radiance to bad rubbish.So be it.

Meanwhile,
How we go settle this quarrel below?

*If they forget you, please forget them too. You didn't come into this life to be anybody's memory card.*

I Dont gt this. new state or country?

I don't know what to really make of this news...but the southern Cameroonians have really suffered in d handso of Paul biya. Them having there own country is a plus and a welcome development.

But in the other Nigeria loosing more territories to this country is were I'm having little issue...anyway good luck to those that will finally escape Nigeria... I hope ur new country will be far favourable.... Cheers

Hmmm...
How many more territories to be ceded to them

very

Decisions like this should be spearheaded by the A.U and ECOWAS but these two organizations are made up of incompetent black ignoramuses. ECOWAS chief coordinator on COVID-19 pandemic is a man that thought the disease is COvik 1-9
