Politics › Re: Can Bakassi Peninsula Be Retrieved From Cameroon? by urahara(m): 1:43pm On Jan 12, 2020 |
During the Scramble for Africa, Queen Victoria signed a Treaty of Protection with the King and Chiefs of Akwa Akpa, known to Europeans as Old Calabar on 10 September 1884. This enabled the British Empire to exercise control over the entire territory around Calabar, including Bakassi. The territory subsequently became de facto part of Nigeria, although the border was never permanently delineated. However, documents released by the Cameroonians, in parity with that of the British and Germans, clearly places Bakassi under Cameroonian Territory as a consequence of colonial era Anglo-German agreements. After Southern Cameroons voted in 1961 to leave Nigeria and became a part of Cameroon, Bakassi remained under Calabar administration in Nigeria until ICJ judgement of 2002.

grandstar: If the US and allies had invaded Japan, they would have lost millions of men. The Japanese were extremely stubborn soldiers, preferring death or to commit harakiri rather than face the shame of capture. The US had to drop 2 bombs before Japan surrendered. Other countries would have thrown in the towel after the first bomb. Japan needed 2. Even when they surrendered they were still giving conditions . |

Ausrichie: But what about the palm oil stuff. And wow I did not know that Malaysia was an Islamic country. Palm oil is just 4.5 percent of Malaysia's exports.As at the 1960s it dawned on Malaysia that groundnut and palm oil can never give a country prosperity. 50 Percent of Malaysias exports are electronics. |

There is no Muslim nation that became successful without natural resources. Their citizens don't think rather they slam their head on the ground 2hrs knocking out that which will spur their thinking Malaysia became successful without relying on natural resources. |

It is a shame!
And in saner climes many people grow up never witnessing what power failure is all their lives. They only see it on TV'S!
We only pray we get there soon as a nation. Destroyed Foundation!
You've said it all. That is the situation we find ourselves as a nation. Terrible. Is that 16billion dollar story really true ? |

Just imagine say babaginda or abacha don solve light matter, or if OBJ or GEJ had solved it, Buhari for face other things. But, as Nigeria dey now eh, every sector is messed up and we no com get money. The money we get from oil is shit.Even if there was no corruption Nigeria would still be a shit hole. The money we have gotten from oil in the past 60 years is not even up to u.k s budget for just one year. |

They've been awfully silent about the incident. It was purely a mistake. The last thing they need on their plate is to be seen as the monster Trump painted them as.

If it's technology surpassed that of the US, it won't be the global leader in the theft of intellectual property. A lot of people need to know the bolded.

This is a huge statement.

I see some kids who just started following world politics since Trump quoting me...
While I'm not in support of Iran and their shenanigans, I just can't understand what people who are mostly ignorant, believe this is a battle between Christianity and Islam, or good and bad.
If you are one of those who think this is a war of Good vs. Evil and not some old age long bully cum supremacy battle then you need to read up some more, listen to more intellectuals speak, and be quiet while at it. This is not the first time they will attack a u.s base in Iraq.They launched rockets on a u.s base in Iraq last year.Thats one of the reasons that the u.s assassinated soleimani. |

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran 'Standing Down' After Missile Strikes - Trump by urahara(m): 6:25pm On Jan 08, 2020 |
LordAdam16: Of course they had to stand down.
Iran shot down 2 expensive US drones down. No response. Iran blew and seized oil tankers. No response. Iran took out a significant part of Saudi's oil installations, equivalent to 5% of global oil output. No response. Iran attacks US military base killing one American contractor and injuring 4 US soldiers. No response. Iran prods their militia to attack US embassy in Baghdad in an attempt to sack it.
Trump finally said, "Enough". He took out their top-ranking general in one precision strike.
That's a President. That's a deterrent. Not that useless oaf called Obama.
If Iran had killed another American yesternight with their launches. By now, it'd have been raining fire and brimstone in Tehran!
Iran can sabre-rattle all it wants; but if it tries any of the nonsense it had done in the past few months again, there'll be hell to pay.
Trump just told Iran, "my craze pass your own." Do anyhow you see anyhow. Two seconds.
-Lord And the annoying thing was that they felt like Trump wouldn't retaliate because he didn't have the stomach for war. |
