Is there a possibility of revisiting the Bakassi case? All lands are valuable,and that land is a valuable piece of Calabar(Akwacross).
In this day and age where countries like Singapore and the likes are doing all they can to reclaim hectares of land from the ocean and rivers, why should Nigeria so easily forfeit that land to Cameroon? And now that peninsular actually falls under the now secessionist Ambazonia . And in fact,I just discovered there's a Bakassi secessionist movement either from Cameroon or Ambazonia (if successful) . All street and town names on the island are Calabarian names ,plus a few other historical artifacts and events . The judgement surrounding the forfeiture of the land to Cameroon remains sketchy .
Do you think there may be a possibility of ever retrieving Bakassi based on factual and reasonable evidence ? I think it can be retrieved, though It remains to be seen.

Bakassi peninsula was given away as a reward for Cameroon helping to blockage Biafra during the civil war. When Nigerian Government tried to claim it back, Cameroon threatened to expose so many things about Nigeria and the civil war. In addition, they reached out to France for military intervention if Nigeria tried to take it back by force.

Nigeria, having the weaker hand was forced to give it up.

Not by any legal means. If Nigeria wants they'll have to copy Russia's example in taking Crimea. The population has to succeed and be annexed. Also Nigeria will need to be ready to fund ambazonian terrorist groups. Then be ready for inevitable blowback being them funding boko haram.

OBJ just gave out Bakassi just like that..

why bother....??

anybody not happy their can still retreat to nigeria....

that is a complete lie....!!
bakassi incedence happened years later after biafran civil war was over....!!

and nigerian goverment back then tried to challendge it....

bakassi was not givin to cameroon because of biafran war....!!

Annexation of Bakassi always pain me. OBJ did not try at all.
International politics is more complex and fill with intrigue than the national one; but then he shld have put up a fight.
One day Calabar will get back that which belong to them.

If we were NOT Black people we would find means to get back Bakassi.

But Black people cannot BUILD. Only DESTROY.

We can talk and talk, but NO ACTION.

they haven't managed the land they still have in nigeria very well and you are talking of how to retrive bakkasi?? atleast let them take good care of we that are still in nigeria before looking out for others..

You guys have started again.

I have thought about something similar to that but mine is wanting Nigeria to buy part of Northern cameroon,Southern CAR,Northern DRC,Southern Chad,Southern Niger without their citizens joining Nigeria.Though it would be very expensive to undertake,Start industrialization,re-shuffle the masses by depopulating some populated state and creating up to 50 states.If you notice,most of the world power have a large expanse of land but Africa is a place where those who have ideas aren't in power and those who are in power have no idea.If Africa's intelligent & selfless men could attain power,at least 3 world powers would emerge from Africa.

You guys have started again.

Bakassi Peninsula was sold by General Yakubu Gowon to Cameroon in 1968. Yes, Yakubu Gowon in August 1968, had been requested by Ahmadu Ahidjo, the then President of Cameroon to sell part of Nigeria, especially the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon as the condition for supporting Nigeria to win the civil war against Biafra. Recall that before then, Bakassi was used as the outlet to the Atlantic to bring in food to the Easterners. The then Finance Minister, the very Obafemi Awolowo had asked Gowon: how long do you continue to feed your enemies?

Rattled by the question, Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Martin Adamu, Theophilus Danjuma, Hassan Katsina with the tacit approval of Sultan Mohammed II and Ado Bayero, the Emir of Kano swung into action. Gowon wanting to score a point did not even discuss this with the then Supreme Military Counsel, though they quietly approved of it.

He contacted Alhamadu Ahidjo, and the Meeting was scheduled in Marua Town of Southern Cameroon in August 1968, that day Gowon, using stone, standing on Cameroon side “threw a stone” saying that wherever the stone landed should be given to Cameroun, west ward to the Peninsula. The stone landed at the very point of entry of the Peninsula called Reo Del Ree.

Hence, General Yakubu Gowon, on the advice of Obafemi Awolowo, used a stone to sell Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon. Others is history.

Nigeria sacrificed more than 400,000 soldiers to get back biafra why is Nigeria not pulling a trigger to get back oil rich bakassi peninsular

Truth be told Nigeria would have been cremated if they went to war against Cameroon over bakassi.

Africa is an ethnic continent just like Europe and Asia. Why would anyone conceive the horrible idea of buying up an ethnic national land, and not only that ,expel the natives ?
Nigeria is a colonial entity. Calabar(Akwacross) Yorubaland,Igboland,Hausaland,etc. are ethnic nations like Sweden,Norway or Japan, not like The US,Canada,Australia,New Zealand etc.

well,i'm sure they would accept to be paid handsomely.

tribalmall:
What is there to hide that is not exposed already ?! Is it the fact that 2 million foolish Igbos have to perish cos they believe in the foolishness of Ojukwu or what else is there to hide ?!

The perished for believing in freedom, which the most honorable thing any people can believe in

Bakassi peninsula wont ever be oart of Nigeria again, it is the price Nigeria paid for getting Cameroon to close its borders to Biafra during the civil war.

Bakkasi is gone

since giving out of bakassi has Nigeria map change?

It's up to you,but I'll advise that you remove that comment of yours and erase such thought from your mind because it's one of the most evil things I've heard, kind of Nazi-like.
Even if the land was purchased which is a repulsive thought to conceive ,why would the native human lives be expelled?

I meant both the government and citizens would have to be paid.

It is too late to take back Bakassi. Obasanjo is a coward who only flaunts his military credentials when he wants to withdraw political support from a sitting Nigerian president who he doesn't like. When Cameroon took over Bakassi, Obasanjo cowardly depopulated the Peninsula and carried Bakassi indigenes to mainland Cross River State where he carved out a new local government area for them from an existing local government. Nigeria was not bound to obey that dubious judgement but Obasanjo who is a CIA asset always longed to please his paymasters.

hey guys some one please send me website where I can download Indian films hd with subtitles

It was stupid to let Bakassi go in the first place.
No one would want to give it back.

A selfish decision to hurt the Igbos and the SouthSouth in case they ever get their independence.

But the chicken has come home to roost.
I only pity it's indigenes who are now aliens; neither here nor there.

Bakassi is gone.
We should all deal with it.

The reason why we can't her back is the same reason why men married to heavily endowed women are very jealous and overly protective of them.

They are useless without the Bakassi.
It drips like honey and is home to oil-wells.

If you think of what Bakassi means as a slang then you know that what has been fvcked cannot be unfvcked.

Buhari that's claiming general general. He should go retrieve it. Only then he will have my regards.

Na our problem be that?
