This Day (Lagos)
7 August 2008
Nigeria's former Representative to the United Nations, Alhaji Aminu Wali has faulted the Federal Government over the controversial ceding of the Bakassi peninsular to the Republic of Cameroun, admitting that there was some blunder committed in the process.

I can see you’re interested in this Bakassi issue but if there is any one to fear about war, that will be you and other Cameroonians, pray that Nigeria FG plan no pretence over this issue, so you can only face the Bakassians and not Nigerian earthquake b/c weightier good or bad, there is war in front.
Get your father (Biya Paul) informed.
Aminu Wali should keep quiet. He is one of the persons that have kept Nigeria and Nigerians backward until today. If Bakasi were a part of any of the northern states of Nigeria that a southerner gave off for whatever reason, he and all his ilks in the North will not be speaking the way they are doing, but killing innocent people and setting their properties ablaze. I met a young man from Niger who told me how the northern part of Nigeria is still rewarding them (Niger citizens) for the help they rendered to help defeat Biafra during the civil war.
I want to advise all well-Nigerians to fight with whatever legal means that are still available to us - through the Security Council for example, as was rightly suggested by an informed Nigerian some time earlier this week, to avert the injustice of sending off some Nigerians to another without giving them a say (a referendum) in the matter.
God bless Nigeria.
It's high time we stop behaving like bunch of idiots and think [positively. Believe me he who's mentioning of war can't even attempt to bear the consequences of war. So if your agenda is war bear with me that your evil and idle intentions will be reflected only to your own shadows. Whynot admit the truth and think whether the displaced would be taking greater care of , or if it means creating charity means then fine. We should not confuse the idea of being patrotic with lunatic ideologies that will benefit only a devilish intended one like you war mongers
One wonders why a person like Alhaji Aminu Wali would argue blindly without availing himself with the facts as contained in the records known to all reasonable individuals. Is Alhaji Aminu Wali pretending not to, at his level, know the details about Bakassi or is he trying to push the country delibately into war with the Cameroons? One will expect Alhaji Aminu Wali, as a former representative of the country to the UN, to have all the parameters of the country without doubt and as such it is expected that his patriotism should not be doubted. With his stance on the Bakassi issue, Alhaji Aminu Wali's patriotism is NIL IN THE ABSOLUTE. KNOWING FULLY THE FACTS ON RECORDS THAT BAKASSI DOES NOT BELONG TO NIGERIA AND BY TRYING TO PUSH THE GOVERNMENT TO FIGHT TO FALSELY CLAIM IT IS THE MICROCOSM OF 419.
