Biggyd2: My thinking is that he should tell us what happened during his administration was during his term that Bakassi was ceded. What overwhelming evidence was there that made him agree to cede this region without the consent of the National Assembly. He may be able to give explanations that may calm some nerves.

Demdem:

We are talking about events that happened even before OBJ became president in 1999. Akinjide claimed this pact was presented to the ICJ prior 2002. Judgement came that year and Obj foolishly (IMO) decided to proceed with the details of this judgement.
Who as this H.O.S prior 1999 that did this?

Biggyd2:

Still in line with what I am saying though. He must know. Everything ended during his administartion. [/b]He may be able to give us facts that we don't know about. My fear is that everything possible should be done to help these people. We won't want a situation where we have another BH issue in Bakassi. That won't be funny.

Demdem:

I feel u however it should be noted that everything hasnt ended. There is still room for appeal which we all expect the Retardeen to attend to. The case was already in court before OBJ came in 1999.

PointB: Gowon is alive, and very articulate to boot! Let him speak for him self. I don't understand the unbridled propensity for slaves to speak for their masters!

Demdem:

The same way Maku the silly one, okupe the dog and Abati the liar speaks for the master the Retardeen.

PointB:

The ones you referenced are empowered officially, and are paid for what they do. Pray, on which authority is does this retarded slave speak for Gowon?

afam4eva:
Those are appointed spokes persons for GEJ but this Akinjide stopped working for Gowon after the civil war.

U dont need to be in government to become a spokesman for a person. Infact, a simple phone call to ur desired spokesman to speak on ur behalf in whatever forum will do

ndukwejoe: Is it that those who knew what happened during the civil war have all died, what my dad told me was that bakassi peninsula was ceded by gowon. Why do they want to twist the story.

allwestafrican: during the biafrian war gowon ceded bakassi to Cameroon as compensation to Cameroon for blocking war aides biafra was receiving from France, Haiti, and Cameroon itself. Gowon sold out bakassi to win Nigeria -biafra war.

Demdem:

Kasumu or so that speaks for IBB constantly is in which capacity officially? Pray to me first that this "slave" is not personally mandated to speak for Gowon. Besides he didnt say he is speaking on his behalf, he is just laying out the facts but left out the desired names. yes the facts i said because he represented this country at the ICJ during the trial. I believe all these documents will be at his disposal.

berem: so what's the old man saying? Why is he trying to defend Gowon? This is not the time to start saying who ceded bakassi or not.nigeria still have time to appeal the court ruling.this slow attitude of the federal government still makes me wonder if they are serious or not!

Demdem: FORMER Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Chief Richard Akinjide, on Wednesday, declared that former head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, did not cede the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon.

The former minister, who was the guest speaker at the 2 Division, Nigerian army training week with the theme: “Developing requisite capabilities by the Nigerian Army for combating contemporary security challenges,” said it was a former head of state who signed an instrument that seceded the part of the country to Cameroon.

Akinjide, who did not give the name of the former head of state, said the matter was more complicated than what the people perceived.

According to him, “Nigeria did not secede the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon.

“There are a lot of rumour that General Gowon cede Bakassi to Cameroon. That is not true. He did not cede the place to Cameroon at all.

“The truth is that it was a former head of state who signed an instrument that the place belongs to Cameroon, and that was presented at the International Court of Justice (ICJ),” Akinjide declared.

He explained that for eight years when the case was on, every issue was considered, including the human element, saying that many memoranda were presented before the court.

PointB:

We can see the result of his representation of Nigeria - calamity!

Wouldn't he be deem wise, if he shut his mouth, and let the country sort out the mess people like him created!
