Worried by their continued shelter in public schools in the Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State, displaced Bakassi children have appealed to the Federal Government to provide them with zinc, cement, nails, rods and other necessary materials to enable them build their own houses.
They made their demands on Monday when Senator Florence Ita-Giwa donated food items and cash to the displaced people, who are taking refuge at St. Mark Primary School, Akwa Ikot Eyo Edem; and Government Secondary School, Akwa Ikot Eyo Edem, in New Bakassi Local Government Area.
The children are among the 4, 000 displaced persons who were chased out of their settlements by Cameroonian Gendarmes in March this year.
The other demands made by the included fishing boats and other fishing materials; provision of buses to ease transportation and take care of emergency situations; employment of Bakassi indigenes in federal establishments, including the military and paramilitary outfits.
In her address, Ita-Giwa urged the displaced persons to continue to be law-abiding, saying steps were being taken to cause the Federal Government to look into their plight.
Ita-Giwa noted that whether the Federal Government liked it or not, it was indebted to the people of Bakassi for being responsible for their plight.
She said, ‘’This country is obliged to resettle Bakassi people. The Green Tree Agreement must be respected. The struggle must be sustained just like the late Nelson Mandela did in South Africa. Nigeria government must resettle Bakassi people because they never went to the International Court of Justice at The Hague, Netherlands. They have been displaced for no fault of theirs.
‘’These people are now living in public schools, which should not be so. In the day the schools are classrooms and night bedrooms. This is bad. They sleep in classrooms that have no doors, no windows exposed to mosquito bites and consequent malaria infection and other diseases.’

Apart from thy usual CHRISTMAS-ONLY Largesse, what else have you done for them, dear florence?
How many times have you gone to your former colleagues to advocate for the implementation of the agreement?
See the kind person wey Chidi Mokeme dey waste him Juice on!

#Ita Giwa forgot to tell them tu pray and fast so that they can be eventually heard
#The people that sign bakassi off to the Cameroonians have actually forgotten that they disposed some people of their homes.
#No windows and no doors and they will still continue to breed more children in a condition that is nt even bearable nt tu mention enjoyable.

This is what happens when those in Authority fail to defend the integrity of the Nation. China and Japan are still fighting over an inhabited island. Israel and Palestine, India and Pakistan, Argentina and England. But what did our leaders do: agree to give up Bakassi even when the inhabitants(in their Ancestral home) claimed they where Nigerians. Now they are Refugees!!

Eh ya! [b][/b]

Sijo01: Leaders of tomorrow.

just imagine

Obasanjo, former Nigerian President should take the blame for the painful reality that Bakassi people are faced with. Obasanjo traded off their land making this people refugee in other community. The same Obasanjo is spending his leisure time writing letters that portray him as a saint. Obasanjo political skimming have seen the like of Gov Amerchi of Rivers state betraying president jonathan and unneccessary fighting against him. Under Obasanjo activities pdp is divided with 7 governors defecting to APC.

Is ur God doing anything for you now that your own people are enslaving you and stealing your future??

Somebody wake Gowon o! His attention is needed here.
