emperorgoke:. Lol ..You 4got 2 add Akamkpa 2 the list. Effiat clan is located southside of the cross river estuary shares common boundary with new bakkassi/Akpabuyo LGAs of CRS. As a matter of fact its 1 of the efik clans. They dont share land border but maritime boundary with Bakassi peninsula which is now in cameroon. Its 1 of the last point within nigeria/cameroon waterway when travelling from Oron town jetty using speed boat or a ferry boat. The villages in Effiat include Akwa Obio Effiat, ibuot utan, utan brama & Tom shot islands. The area is rich in oil&gas. I am from that axis. |

The people should be happy, in this hard and troubled economy condition of Nigeria is better they accept the offer of been dual citizen. Moreover, it is better for them (Akwa Ibom). I wish the cameroun will come and claim my village since we speak same language...Je suis originaire de cameroun. |

Its 1 of the last communities on naija southeast corner boardering cameroon its also catchment area to the proposed Ibaka deep seaport in AKS. I'm from dat axis so i know what i mean. |

This is incredibly bad new for Nigeria. And we have Law-makers. Al least for the interest of the unity of the country, because, they Cameroonian government will want to use money to entice those greedy and hungry chiefs into accepting their citizenship and still be chiefs just to get access to these communities, especially now that border demarcation is ongoing. Please, let our Law makers rise up to their work |

This is where you need the Nigerian Army to do its constitutional job of protecting the sovereignty of Nigeria. But they would be missing in action. They would be busy shooting unarmed IPOB protesters and ganging up to beat civilians inside the cities. And you will not see stupid and clueless Mr. Daura of the useless DSS in action here. He is busy playing partisan politics. It's really frustrating to have fools at the helm of affairs. |

Damfostopper:. Effiat clan do, its an island community located on the downward part of the cross river estuary, only accessible by sea not land boundry but maritime boundry along the territorial waters bordering the bakassi peninsular which is in cameroon now. I know the area too well |

[quote author=mile12crises post=43592751]The Cameroonian government has allegedly forcefully taken over parts of Akwa Ibom State not covered by the original judgment to cede part of the Bakasi Peninsular to the Central African country following a decision of the International Court of Justice (ICC) in The Hague in 2002. More than 350 oil wells and fishing pots have consequently been seized, depriving Nigeria of potential revenues from these assets. It is reported that the people of Effiat clan in Mbo Local Government Area of the state claim the Cameroon government in a desperate attempt to cede their communities have lured their village heads into accepting Cameroonian citizenship with documents acknowledging their headship. The Cameroonian government, which has for sometime now claimed some parts of the state, are said to have operated through some greedy village heads whenever the people resisted paying tax to their government. These village heads are said to have been issued ‘documents of acknowledgment’ with letterheads of the Republic of Cameroon. Etim Okon, an Indigene of Effiat Clan, in a chat, suspects that the documents issued by the Cameroon authorities are fake, adding that they do this to get the people’s consent and to present the territory as Cameroonian territory as border demarcation between Nigeria and Cameroon is ongoing. The Cameroonian gendarmes, according to Okon, have taken absolute control of the Akwa Ibom territories, which had never been a part of the islands the Federal Government ceded to Cameroon. “None of the Effiat 16 villages had been ceded to Cameroon when Bakassi Peninsula was ceded to Cameroon by the International Court of Justice at the Hague in 2002,” he said. He added, “Effiat is an area in Akwa Ibom State and not part of Cross River, where Bakassi Peninsula became an issue.” Further investigations revealed that the mangrove island, which hosts 16 villages of Effiat clan in Mbo, is currently under the administrative control of the Cameroon authorities. It could be recalled that the member representing Mbo State Constituency in Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Mr. Samuel Ufuo, last week, presented the issue as matter of urgent public importance to the House, saying that Cameroonian gendarmes terrorise, dehumanise, and deprive the people of their rights and privileges. The lawmaker noted that a former member who represented the area in the National Assembly, Robinson Uwak, had in January 2015 alerted the Federal Government of the situation in Mbo, but no action was taken since then to demarcate, properly, the maritime boundary between Nigeria and Cameroon as determined by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) during the settlement of the ownership of the Bakassi Peninsula in 2002. President Muhammadu Buhari, during a visit to his Cameroonian counterpart, Paul Biya, shortly after his inauguration as Nigeria’s president a year ago, assured that the country will continue to abide by the ruling of the ICJ on the Bakassi Peninsula. Advertisement He had assured that his administration would ensure the faithful implementation of the Green Tree Agreement, which regulates the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroon. The state lawmaker maintained that none of the 16 mangrove islands were part of the territory ceded to the Cameroon government by the world court during the Bakassi Peninsula issue. Ufuo, whose position had earlier been mirrored by Uwak during his presentation to the House of Representatives the previous year, stated with sadness that the affected natives have lost their sources of livelihood. The Mbo mangrove has approximately 350 oil wells and several Fishing routes believed to be coveted by the Cameroon government. It was gathered from the record of the votes and proceedings of Wednesday 14 January 2015 of the 7th House of Representatives then led by Mr. Aminu Tambuwal (now Governor of Sokoto State) that the House had made three resolutions on the matter which include setting up an ad-hoc committee to investigate and report within 30 days (beginning from 14th January 2015). Others were to urge the attorney general and surveyor general of Nigeria to submit all relevant instruments being used in recent delineations by international surveyors as recommended by the United Nations, and to strongly urge the Nigeria government to re-assert its sovereignty over the troubled island with the mandate of protecting Nigerians being maltreated by the Cameroonian gendarmes. The preceding resolutions, it was learnt, was made after the House received a report on the matter by the then member representing Oron (Oron/Mbo/Okobo/Udung Uko/Urue Offong Oruko) Federal Constituency, Uwak, where it was not only pointed out that the disputed islands were not part of the territory ceded to the Cameroon government by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) during the Bakassi Peninsula issue, but also that the encroachment has led to the loss of about 350 oil wells and gas revenues which ought to accrue to Nigeria. According to Mr Ufuo, the resolutions were discarded following the electioneering at the time and the subsequent end of tenure the 7th National Assembly in June 2015. Describing the situation as pathetic, Ufuo said the people of the affected villages are still buying and selling in Mbo and other Akwa Ibom markets, including paying their taxes, boat licenses and other levies to the Akwa Ibom State government. “Should this annexation by the Republic of Cameroon be allowed to continue after the ongoing demarcation by both countries, Akwa Ibom state and Nigeria as a whole will lose the territory, God forbid, with thousands miles in our coastal water including mineral resources. “Sadly to note that as a result of the illegal occupation of the islands by the Republic of Cameroon, oil and gas revenues that should accrue to the state and the Nigeria government, employment opportunities to our teeming youths are lost to the Republic of Cameroon.” |

Nemesis, nemesis and nemesis in action. All that are happening in this zoo are as result of sabotaging of the first republic of Biafra. This is the beginning starting. let me name some: 1. boko haram and no question on who are their sponsors, 2. massacre by fulani headsmen without any arrest made, no question of how they got AK 47 or 49 3. Giving out land to fulani headsmen in every state (have any free land ever given to Ndigbo to build markets in the north? 4. Kidnapping of christians children and forceful conversion and marrying out without parents consent, 5. etc |

Atlantian: Nigerians are really not educated about neighbouring west african countries. Only ghana (because they speak english). People here are praising and commending cameroun like its some developed country. Im just lmao! Poor cameroun dt has had a dictator as its president since the 80's and everyone lives and has lived in fear for decades - like in the days of abacha. A country dt bans access to twitter, harrases/imprisons journalists and cancels tv programmes anyhow. Someone even said he would gladly collect citizenship. SMH. |

Did you now see your lives @ ipoooood youths. you will continue to be embarrassed if you don't want the truth.. during GEJ's tenure, there's no cry of BIAFRA but I wonder, it is when BUHARI took over, because he's not from the south, because of the IGBO tribalism sentiments hates Buhari with no reason. We are not supposed to fight ourselves as a country, we are not enemies, we are people of one Nation.. Instead we fight those trying to claim our land Nigeria... And I bet you, if conflicts continue to happen in Nigeria, more like that of Cameroon will continue to happen |

Re: Cameroon Takes Over Akwa-Ibom Communities, Hoist Flag by Acjohn(m): 4:11pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
Ogbuefi2020:Who told you? France wanted the country to break into small units so that they can suppress them as they do the francophone countries till date. Nigeria had served as a standard and a source of hope to the whole West Africa subregion but with their division it is over. little wonder they supported BH and asked Cameroon to return their citizens captured to France without question. since then did you hear anything about them? if you think they did that because of Biafra and not because of their hate for Nigeria including the Igbos then you are mistaken. I pity myopic people like you who allowed themselves to be used by politicians in search for cheap popularity. like the devil, France would claim to be in support of Biafra till everything is broken like Syria and they, like Russian, and Germans are doing in Syria as we speak, would start laying conditions on how to divide the spoil. that is when you will know that you didn't only waste your time but dug a pit for yourself. if your claims are with respect to the incessant killing, I would say braze yourself for vengeance. that is what has brought peace to Jos today. if they kill one and you kill ten, no body would want to kill again but if they kill one and you wait for the government for help, they would kill more. wake up, the difference between Biafra and Nigeria is just the spelling, it is same ppl. creating Biafra would not guarantee peace or take way the corruption. what I see playing out is what I watched in the game of thrown. Humans against each other and white walkers against humans. 1 Like |
