The Bakassi indigenes, led by their political leader, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, Tuesday stormed the Nigerian Television Authority’s regional office in Victoria Island, Lagos pleading with the Federal Government to resettle them at Dayspring 1and 2 and Kwa Island-unceded parts of Bakassi Penninsula.

The indigenes who were seen displaying their voters’ cards, said it was to affirm that the unceded areas within the region have been voting and was still part of the Nigerian state and not Cameroun.

After an exclusive chat with the NTA’s management team led by Mrs. Aina Scot, Ita-Giwa addressed reporters, emphasising that rather than waste resources in appealing the ICJ judgment, government should urgently address issues relating to resettlement of the Bakassi people in their places of choice which are Days Spring 1 and 2 and Kwa Islands, as promised by Federal Government in 2006.

She affirmed the Bakassi people’s affinity with the Efik Kingdom in Cross River State, who are original owners of the Bakassi Peninsula.

“As painful as it may be, we will refrain from condemning the Federal Government’s decision not to revisit or belatedly appeal the 2002 ICJ judgment ceding the bulk of our homeland to Cameroun. If good sense had prevailed 10 years ago, we may not have found ourselves in this quagmire. As a peace-loving people, we have chosen to count our losses and move on as a sacrifice for the peace and stability of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, our fatherland,’’ she stated.

Ita-Giwa added that the people are not in tune with “futile efforts aimed at securing resources that were not used to develop our people in the past nor is it likely that it will be used for that purpose in the future”, arguing that such has been ‘used as a conduit for far too long.’

She added: “We abhor violence and reject any attempt to militarise our agitation. It is our contention that resources could be put to better use for the development of infrastructures in our chosen new abode as well as the development of vital human capacity of our industrious people.

The issue of revisiting the ICJ judgment is belated. We want to settle down for our people to be taken off the streets. We are not interested in secession because we are all Nigerians. We are not interested in any secession or appeal for Nigeria to regain the part of Bakassi that has been ceded to Cameroun.’’

She pointed out that Bakassi people are only interested in being settled in Days Spring and the only unceded area with their identity intact. “We don’t want government to go and put money on unnecessary ventures.

I think the economy is growing gradually, so we can't say that we are there yet cos there are still a lot to do. But one thing we shud not do is to expect a miracle overnight cos that will not happen in the situation of this country.

I will advise that you should watch him till the age of four. Some children are quick to dropping habits than the other. What may take two years for one to drop might take the other three years. So obverse him a ilttle more and if there's no changes then you should know the types of toys you give him to handle and also ensure a proper monitoring on him base on anything he does.

There wasn't any meaningful reason to stop the CBN in the first place. They only made that gullible move to impress some ignoramus. CBN allowed people to bring in any practical history where such lead to inflation..but nobody tendered any.
CBN ask you people to tender your details of the alleged billions of naira meant for printing, but you guys were scared to bring any since you don't have any true fact. Now give me one reason why CBN shouldn't continue with the process..

Very correct bro, The senate are just barking cos they know the introduction is going to further aid their looting. But I know that one day, they will look back and regret all the atrocities they had committed. Just that it will be too late then.

Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has said Nigeria does not possess the wealth it professes to have, describing the country as “poor indeed”.

He spoke on Tuesday night at the Government House during a dinner to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the state.

He said research had shown that the Nigeria’s oil reserve would dry up in the next 50 years, stressing that the country must evolve economic strategies to meet yearning challenges when oil dries up.

“At the maxim, oil will dry up in the next 50 years. Nigeria’s problem is not political but it is economic. How are we going to survive when oil dries up,” he emphasised.

The governor said the N4tn accruable annually to the country on oil sales was grossly inconsequential when compared to what the country needs to develop.

Explaining that if the N4tn is shared among 160 million Nigerians annually, each Nigerian would end up with a few thousand naira, adding that after the sharing there would be no money to develop infrastructure and pay wages.

What is the probe panel delaying for? Must he show up himself at the police station before they commence the probe? Delay could be dangerous o.

blacksta: The topic is misleading - I am very sure if i attend the carnival with flag markings of Hell fire - i will find oyinbo people who be happy to take pictures with me - Are you telling us that they are only two Biafrans in UK. There was a Nigerian stand , i cant remember seeing a biafran stand. It would have been an irony if you were mixing with the Nigerian corner.

So na only two people be BIAFRA. Walahi dis Biaaafra too much

What kind of man is this? One will begin to imagine how honorable he is. He has really tried his best as a minister and I believe he would have performed more if still remain in office. I wish him luck in his endevours

Am afraid oooooo. I no know wetin my daughter dey do for school o. Osanobua

I know that the press must have coined what Ewele was trying to say. Irrespective of that, English still remain our general language in Naija no matter where you live. But still the protection of our own heritage also stands to be very important.

Stallion77: This also gives reason why Barth recently resigned... we are watching.

it should be I think. Av begin to see GEJ as a wonderful administrator and a leader... So as a leader, if you cant perform, then the seat is not for you. Then u consider opting out. Gone are the days when governance should be depended on friendship of family thing.Everyone that has a call to duty should know that they have a responsibility to perform and people are looking up to them.

Do not Judge! thats what my Bible said. Religion is in the mind so allow people to do as they wish.

the CBN should rather look into re-denomination of the currencies just like what was done in Ghana and Brazil as the countries have enjoyed a revamped economy with the decision. 5k banknote is tantamount to sparking hyperinflation in Nigeria and the recipient are the poor masses.

Trouble is when u de waka on a single path and looking up u saw UNDERTAKER the wrestler.

LWKMD!!!!!

This country is indeed blessed but some people are failing to realize it and i mean in all ramifications, even our leader. The statement by Obama make me feel so proud now to be a confirmed NAIJA. Good one muan, this will continue to strengthens the diplomatic ties between Nigeria and the developed countries and project a good image of the country aswell.

Happy Bufday MJ. Wishing you all that u ever wish urself in life.

GEJ has taken the right decision on the issue of state police in Nigeria. The fact remains that the country is not yet ripe to operate on a state police system. even our level of corruption alone cannot encourage it. The so called politician will see a more favorably way to carry out their mischief and also an avenue of sprouting violence. Kudos to GEJ on that.

Why should the family be contacted first before using the image on a bank note. this is a national issue not what any Nigerian can wake up to object. And what could be the best way to immortalize someone in this country. On the highest denomination for that matter. Seun is just looking for a cheap popularity jo.

nonen: My elder brother just got wedded last Saturday. We were going through the trailer load of gifts received, I was so amazed at some kind of funny gifts people still present these days:
Kerosene Lantern
Kerosene Stove
Pounding Mortar and Pestle
Hand Fan
etc
Pls lets share some funny gifts we've received or seen people receive after celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, get-togethers, etc.

Definitely, his village clans attended the ceremony

alaoeri: As far as am concerned if the story is true she kill herself why 'll some have hypertension @ 29 just because u doesn't meet a target & afraid of loosing her job now that she have lost her life who is gonna cater for kids, she fail τ̲̅ȍ realise that loosing a job isn't the end of life in as much as there's life there's hope, now she's göne nö hope nothing, just pity the kids she left behind.

I agree with u bro. I don't know why a lot of people still take job as the ultimate thing in life, thereby jeopardizing their health, family, religion and what have u. I really like this thread cos is going to serve as deterrent to others.

Nobody is more committed to the Nigerian Project than President Jonathan. In spite of unforeseen challenges, which his administration has had to contend with, President Jonathan is doing his utmost best to positively transform Nigeria. Ordinary Nigerians know and appreciate this. Those parading themselves as leaders of the opposition, who claim that the President has lost the support of Nigerians, represent only themselves and their selfish interests.

What a great thing to say about your president.

For me I believe say all these na efforts towards ensuring a stable electricity supply in the country, what if these people refused to speak out or keep us posted as per the developments in the power sector. I kind of appreciate the transparency cos the power issue has really degenerated and it will take a gradual moves to put everything to place. It can't just happen in one day and that is the truth.
