Ambassador, I like your peaceful approach to life. This is however not one of the occasions when peace helps. Bakassi is worth fighting for. So, just keep quiet. Yrs PKOwi(Prof Maths)

I am really sad to read that one Olushola wants Nigeria to hand over Bakassi to Cameroun. I will be straight with you Olushola you simply ignorant and traitorous twart . You live thousands of miles from Calabar and don't care about the people of Calabar. Obasanjo signed over the land because he thought he was going to gain something. He must of been promised some hence his doing it on the quiet without the parliament.Even the Head of State is not patriotic. Britain went to war with Argentina over Faukland miles away from London.Why?. Because few wales/English people lived. This is the second time stupid Nigeria have allowed their land to be taken over by Cameroun. Why? Because it is far from yourba land. Otherwise why should retired civil servant would want to be addressed as Ambassador. The post was merely polical appoitment. This is the type of people who represent us abroad. Ambassodor has become his family name Bakassi is the backyard of Calabar, I grew up there. All the fishing ports ABANA, Atabong Ine Ekoi and many other were where I used to go with my uncle to fish and buy crawfish. There was no Carounian. But Camoroun noticing that Nigeria has a weak and corrupt government decided to strike. And timid and corrupt Obasanjo was hoodwinked by certain countries to sign over our land.What could not have happened if a Hausa man was the head of state. Remember Multala in the early 80s who took strong action and camoroun backed off. The Cameroun dumped to become menber of the so-called Commonwealth so that Nigeria could be advised not to fight a fellow commonwealth menber. Wake up Nigeria many western countries envy you and hate you. People from Calabar shou;d carry placard and protest strongly for the world to see.

I am really sad to see that one uneducated man still leave in Nigeria today.I don´t that somebody who have being elected by the whole country is not right to tell his people what is true.I know that before H.E Obasanjo pick up his pen to sign this any paper about his country he must know well what he is doing, so my dear brother l know that what H.E. Obasanjo did was right and l see that he did the right thing because he don´t like problem. l can see that you want that the two countries should go on war because of Bakassi Pensuila but l´m sorry to talk you that Cameroon hve won back what belong to him and will not fight with anyone for his land.l don´t know why you people from Calaba like war so much, have you ever read a bible to know about the kingdom of God? He that like problems shall one day die on the streel without someone hotting him.Oluslola Segun did what he did because he is well educated, he knowns that what he found on a signed paper by a well known person in a country is reconice by any other person on that thrown.lf you feel that you know some thing more important l will advice you to first go and read your history of your country before any comments next not to supitilify yourself.

I belive is only a fool u can tell to live his fathers family to go and ricide in another place.mr segun olushola so as old as u are some one can ask u to move away from ur fathers land and u will accept that or is it because u are not coming from that tribe?How much did u think that the goverment will give to this people that will make them to forget there fathers land?THINK AS A MAN.

Hi folks !!! I think there is a problem of misunderstanding here. First off all I want to know why the so called indigenes of tho would be cedded Bakassi peninsula are leaving the land? Have they been ordered by any body to vacate the land?

Ihe transfer here is transfer of sovereignty from one country to the other. If the courts have ruled the matter in favour of Cameroon, it therefore means that the land becomes Cameroon's and the people automatically.

If anyone sees that he doesn't like becoming a Cameroonian , then they can then apply through the relevant quarters in Nigeria for the aquisation of a Nigerian citizenship.

If we are crying over the matter of Bakassi , it should be one of haven lost a territory not a people loosing their land. The new maps will show Bakasi on the side of Cameroon but not the people .The people are free to choose ,either Cameroon or Nigeria ,but the land has no voice, it is only told to belong here and it does.

MACPAUL I AM ANSWERING YOU, FIRST THE ICJ RULING IS ILLEGAL. WHY HAVENT THE ICJ. CONSIDER THE MAP OF CAMEROUN AT INDEPENDENCE FROM FRANCE IN 1960? WHY HAVE THE ICJ, NOT CNSIDER THE INDEPENDENCE OF SOUTHERN CAMEROONS, WHICH IS RE COLONIZE BY CAMEROUN? WHY HAVE ICJ NOT SENT ITS PEOPLE TO VISTI BAKASSI AND ASK THE PEOPLE WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE NIGERIANS OR CAMEROUN? HOW CAN ANY RIGHT THINKING MAN SEPRART LAND FROM PEOPLE? WHAT CONNECTION IS FRANCE, ELF-TOTAL, PAUL BIYA AND THE FRENCH JUDGES AND MARGISTRATES IN ICJ

THE HAGUE HAVE ON THEIR DECISION? IF NOT FOR THE OIL UNDERNEATH BAKASSI, WOULD PAUL BIA AND FRANCE STILL BE INTERESTED IN THEIR QUST FOR ILLEGAL WEALTH EVEN IF IT MEAN GENOCIDE OF AFRICAN CULTURE AND TRADITIONS IN BAKASSI AND SOUTHERN CAMEROONS.

WITH THE FRENCH CAMEROUN MILITARY AND GERDAMES ALRADY HRRRASSING AND KILLING PEOPLE IN BAKASSI, DO YOU EXPECTS THE PEOPLE TO STAY STILL IN FACES OF THESE PRIMITIVE FRENCH SPEAKING CENTAL AFRICAN FROM THE EQOUTORIAL FOREST?

MAC PAUL YOURS IS BAISED AND ONE SIDED THINKING

THE DEFENCE F FRANCE AND ITS AFRICAN ECONOMIC COLONIZATION AT ALL COST WE REJECT THAT.

ICJ RULING IS AN INSULT TO THE AFRICAN MIND, SINCE WHITEMAN FROM EUROPE KNOWS NOTING ABOUT OUR NEIGBORS AND BOUNDARIES .

Proponents of the constitutional argument fail to recognize the clear distinction between treaty making and implementation. In the context of treaty making or ratification, a country such as Nigeria or Cameroon acquiesces to be bound by a treaty. The process invariably involves a transfer of a limited aspect or limitation of supreme national sovereignty to the supreme collective sovereignty. Thus, when Cameroon and Nigeria ratified the treaty on the ICJ compulsory jurisdiction, they obligated their countries to respect and honor the ICJ decision. Conversely, implementation of a treaty, sometimes referred to as domestication, may require legislative action when the performance of the obligations of the state entails alteration of existing domestic law. In light of the nature of the GTA as an implementation document, what then is the legal effect of non domestication of the agreement by Nigeria? The simple response is that non domestication of the GTA by the Nigerian National Assembly would not relieve Nigeria of its clearly defined obligations under the judgment of the ICJ of October 2002 and similarly under the Green Tree Agreement.

Nigeria, as a member of the United Nations and a party to the United Nations Charter and the Statute of the ICJ, is under the obligation “to comply with the decision of the International Court of Justice in any case to which it is a party.” In the event of non-compliance with the judgment of the ICJ by Nigeria, Cameroon may invoke the authority of the UN Security Council to impose appropriate sanctions. However, given the critical importance of the historic and symbiotic relationship between Cameroon and Nigeria and considering that non of the arguments advanced to support the rejection of the transfer of administrative authority from Nigeria to Cameroon withstands a modicum of scrutiny , we are convinced that Nigeria will stand by its official position and hand over the administrative authority over the Bakassi Peninsular to Cameroon on August 14, 2008 as scheduled.
