When it comes to saving West Africa ALL DIE BE DIE!!!!!!

Ghanaian rule NOW!!!!

CAMEROONPRIDE: even if Nigeria is busy you are always the leader of this region so you have to reunite forces to help this country i don't know how Ecowas works but i guess Togo/Senegal/Ivory Coast can help them if nothing is done i don't see the utility to be a member of such groups

Then why are you trying to join!!

[quote author=ekt_bear]Nigeria is the giant of Africa, in name only. Not in actual fact[/quote]Good post!! You sound rational!! Nigeria is not even the giant of Nigeria.

If there is money involved I want half

CAMEROONPRIDE: stop twisting my comments i didn't insult a country here ....my comment is clear in term of eonmy /military power/population etc benin gambia etc can't compete with cameroon it's a fact not an insult.....i had an uncle who lived in benin..and many senegalese live in Cameroon ...so i can't insult them....okay since you are the one who decide who join Ecowas can you tell me what ghana brought in ecowas? we are not a central African country ....we are a west african country nothing less nothing more

Prove to me that Cameroon is more West Africa than Central and I will leave you alone...


Once again get Ghana out of your smelly mouth. It is an insult to keep it there Cameroon is NOT a West African country!! If you really want an answer a simplified form is Ghana gave West Africa everything!!

[quote author=ekt_bear]The price for admittance to Ecowas is 500,000 nubile women.

So yeah, Cameroon can join, so long as it pays the fee [/quote]Free movement for the women is that what you are saying??

Stop posting Central African data of small countries. What will give you a good idea is the Human development index. The human development index(HDI) tells you more than anything else because it factors in everything.


Cameroon would add something but, the answer is still NO NO NO!!!

Here is the economic situation today...

Once again, how will Cameroon be more relevant?

It brings nothing new to the table. It is at the same level as Ivory Coast but, Ivory Coast is a proper West African country with deep roots in the region!!

Cameroons roots are in Central Africa.


What annoys me most about you is your unearned arrogance and the belief that the region would be interested in Cameroon. The answer is a resounding NO! Lastly you have insulted many proper West African countries to try to make your case namely, Senegal, Benin etc etc. These are very important West African countries to us and to have the audacity to insult them shows you will not fit into the region!! You can't insult your way in!!!

Cameroon is not a West African country to begin with but, a central African country in the Western part of Africa and to take it you have to take about 5 central African countries with it. Give West Africa a chance to form a real region rather than adding new members before creating something West Africa still needs to be integrated(respectfully of course), promote democracy, fight terrorism and other ills. Why add a dictatorship to the region?

As I said, this discussion is a waste of time because it will never happen.

I am opposed to letting Central Africans in West Africa. Even Nigeria is not a pure West African country but, 10 percent Central THere is a difference between West Africa and WESTERN Africa. Cameroon is in Western Africa but, not West Africa.

Look up the difference


What I find funny is this slowpoke thinks Cameroon would be relevant in West Africa. It would be just another country and nothing special in West Africa. In central Africa it is different! As I already said, if I was the leader in Cameroon I would join West Africa since the regions economy is heading toward 1 trillion dollars on purchasing power parity but, it seems once you join one region you are stuck there. Lastly the countries in West Africa are not fully integrated and what is preventing its full integration is too much French mentality rather than an African mentality! I don't think adding Cameroon would help that but, rather make the region entrench this thinking which I believe is now only starting to get erased(albeit slowly)... So, the simple answer is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

Obiagu1: ^^^

Is the government of Cameroon actually planning to join Ecowas or is it just your wish?

He came here thinking we would be begging him to join and when we rejected him he is crying girly tears!!! Cameroon will never join West Africa because then, why not add all of Central Africa to West Africa?? WE already have something called the African Union!!!! Either way it is historically not a west African country!

I think his main complaints is countries in Central Africa with small populations and a lot of oil don't want free movement within that region because, they are worried that Cameroonians and Congolese will overrun their country and "ruin" the demographics while marginalizing the DISTINCT ethnic groups that have traditionally occupied those lands. That is what this is all about!!

Ghanaian RULE NOW!!!

Time to take it back to the roots!

West Africa not Al Qaeda

West Africa not puppetism

West Africa! West Africa!

Ghanaian Rule NOW!!

Time for the region to shake the criminals off and be in style again!

onila:

ghanaians can be cocky. .they think dey invented politics in Africa

Ghana invented everything in West Africa! Everyone owes us BIG!!!

CAMEROONPRIDE: we clearly have a different culture i didn't take it as a joke sorry.

Relax, life is short why take everything so seriously

Paul John: @cameroonpride or whatever you call your name, I like the way you handle those folks claiming to be Nigerians, which I doubt.

You saying Cameroon is not a frenchpupet is not certain. 'Cause I learnt you guys export Cocoa to France dayin-dayout without charges, all in the name of them being your colonial master. Although Cameroon is not the only France colonized country that is having this probs, I think it's even worst in Cote d voir. My sibling who just returned from the place said their key asset is being managed by the french.

Joining Ecowas is a good idea, but I think Camero would benefit more if they join ECOWAS compared to what Nigeria will gain. It will be more beneficial to Cameroon if they're English speaking country, example of this is Ghana. Ghana improved drastically virtually in all sector, from movie industry to music industry. You'll notice this from Africamagic movies. Before, Africamagic was only known for Nollywood, but ghana joined the league due to the 9ja influence. Also, economically Ghana has benefit from 9ja under the umbrella of ECOWAS.
Cameroons idea of joining Ecowas is a good one, but I'll want to know if Cameroon would withdraw from other regional organization like that of the central africa..... Whatever, to avoid double standard.

exaggerated lies. Ghana has not benefited at all! If anything it brought numerous Nigerian criminals to Ghana who we DEALT WITH


stop the exagerated nonsense!!


Nigeria can't even provide an umbrella for all Nigerians let alone another country! Get over yourself before I put you in your place!!


Cameroon is in Central Africa and should stay there!!

It was a joke

Drunk dog you are useless

Cameroon would be rejected!!! It is in CENTRAL AFRICA and is bordered by numerous CENTRAL AFRICAN states... Nigeria is the bridge and bordered by two central African states!!

[img]http://www1.american.edu/ted/ice/images4/central_africa_pol_97.jpg[/img]


look at this map of central Africa very carefully. How can you add Cameroon without adding all of those others

We already have the African Union!! ECOWAS is a unique region and not for sale.

CAMEROONPRIDE: Cameroonians short....?? lmao did you meet the 30millions Cameroonains and those who live abroad.....i guess you wanted to say nigerians because obasanjo and goodluck are damn short...by the way i'm 6'2 my brother 6'5 and we are 100% Cameroonians

Cameroon is historically a central African country! Full stop.

CAMEROONPRIDE: Deby is not a dictator biya is not a dictator ....there is no intellectual class in chad they can't change leaders like socks ....and wow youa re becoming very arrogant like if ghana has never ben ruled by a dictator ...to get rid of biya it won't take any frcfa he will die soon no need to spend money on him in 5years the guy will die

I am half joking relax.


Like most dictators when death is near they hand power to their children or relatives. DO you think it will be any different??

onila: whatever! cameroonians are culturally central Africans. they look like the gabonese and congolese=very wide faces, very broad and short
they shld stay in cemac

nigeria has invaded ghana already cant u see how the gh government is chasing nigerians out of their country

No no only those who don't have 300,000 dollars

In the end we felt sorry for our "brothers' and we decided to give you a special ECOWAS pass but, the others WILL be kicked out!! The rules(for 4 months at least) is you have to register your business and pay taxes just like every Ghanaian will!

Is that fair enough??

CAMEROONPRIDE: we will jin Ecowas with Chad ....Central africa doesn't need to join Ecowas we will keep trading with them and also with gabon and guinea but in different ways that's all

Both countries are ruled by dictators so, that would mean eventually when their time is up ECOWAS would have to get rid of them. Do you know how expensive that will be... ?

onila stop trolling. We are West African NOT English


Stop embarrassing yourself. Nigerians have not invaded any country and can't even take over the Northern half of Nigeria!! Don't get it twisted!


Now, time to stop joking around and be serious. I hope everything is clear for our Cameroonian distant relative!!

I am mainly joking YES we would accept Cameroon but, we all know it won't happen because Central Africa needs Cameroon more than West. With Cameroon out of the region there would be nothing there.It would be in Cameroon's interest to join West Africa but, it is too late. When the greedy leaders there did not look out for its long term interest and put it in Central Africa it was a long term decision. In the end, too little too late.

Either way, Cameroon is historically(Even before colonialism) a Central African country!!

Chad exports its oil and other resources though Cameroon so, you can't take one without the other. And if you take Chad then why not Sudan and Central African republic? You see how it works? As I said the regions are set in stone!!

What language is the word Boko Haram in. Hausa's image has been tarnished in West Africa.

onila: what can I say= NIGERIA IS THE GIANT OF AFRICA!!!!

Too many issues to be a giant but, it will work out Giant "Potential" is a better term

Cameroon would be another Ivory Coast essentially(speaking of economics) but, it is a dictatorship and not historically a West African country!

Cameroon would add something but, the answer is still NO NO NO!!!

CAMEROONPRIDE: wake up smoothcriminal it's the morning .....please abeg don't make me laugh if countries like Mali/Benin/togo are in ECOWAS could you tell me why can join you ...you clearly have a bad image of Cameroon and Cameroonians i don't know why but my dear colonization is ended ...Cameroon is not the Muppet or puppet of any western country... historically Cameroon is not W.A country 50years agothere was no country called Cameroon i don't where/who made your history but i think we are free to chose where we want to go...Ecowas is not doing so great the incompetence of Ecowas is hided beause NIGERIA GHANA and Ivory coast are doing good maybe we can add Senegal ....but the biggest revenue per citizen in Africa are in Central Africa Gabon with the highest then Equatorial guinea...

YES, Cameroon is doing better than some West African states. The question is not one of economics for me but, loyalty and geography. I feel Cameroon is 100 percent in Central Africa and I am not sure they would be loyal.

Economically, yes they would add something but, in reality the country has pumped all its oil and is heading down since during the peak it did not diversify its economy... If it really wanted to join ECOWAS it should have done it when it was at its best not when it is going down!!!

In the end if it was put up for a vote among the ECOWAS states I think it would get in but, it does not change the fact that it is historically NOT a West African country.

Lets be honest Cameroon has waged a war on a West African country and is a French puppet state. When they come I see them bringing French politics into the region which after years of hard work seems to be fading. Why add 20 million more black French men who will try to convince Ivory Coast, Senegal, Benin etc etc that they have more in common because of who colonized them. At best we should be trying to lessen the impact of these old colonial countries in Africa not increasing them. ECOWAS is the strongest and most united region in Africa. SADC is just on paper. The East African community is weak. Arab Maghreb Union is divided and weak and ECOCAS(Economic community of CENTRAL African states) is useless. Maybe only the proper African Union can rival ECOWAS. To make it stronger the countries in it now have to work together to solve the issues the region has now. This is not the time to be adding potential spoilers! If they join it will most certainly be because their French masters have asked them to join and destabilize the region so that there is no strong region in Africa!!

So, the answer is no because,

1) Historically Cameroon is not a West African country
2) The risk is higher than the reward
3) They have a history of aggression against West African states and calling their French masters to do the dirty work for them

NO NO NO!!!

dasparrow: @Post

Ok, that's good.

Have your papers updated or else trouble O!!

Did Cameroon and Nigeria not have a war with the French fighting on Cameron's side?? NO FRENCH PUPPETS!!
