THE WHOLE OF 12 MILLION FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF SOUTHERN CAMEROONS, HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE FOR 40 YEARS. YET NIGERIA DIDNT SUPPORT, WHICH IS THE NATURAL THING TO DO. THE BAKASSI THING COULD HAVE BEEN PUT TO REST. NOW THE CAMEROUN ,FRENCH BACKED REGIME OF PAUL BIYA AS FOOLISH AS HE IS WILL NEVER COME TO ANY LOGICAL SENSE.
africans laders are fools the agreed on what the dont surppose to agreed on . have you ever seen american laders or europe laders to agreen on what the dont surppose to agreed on , as america laders or europe laders being to intertional court of justice no . but african laders are fools . i am sorry to say this , let them stop this now and put it to and end
Senator Florence Ita-Giwa sounds like the traitor she is.As a Senator,Madam Ita-Giwa and her relatives are well provided.Let her enjoy herself while it lasts because next time round her people won't be voting for her. She was advising Chief Obasanjo,and yet the Chief went ahead and handed her people and her land over to the Cameroonians without appealing the misguided and biased decision by the International Court. Day Sping 1,2 and Kwa Islnd are too small and virtually uninhabitable. Could Senator Florence Ita-Giwa put herself in the shoes of ordinary Bakassi men and women?What a crying shame!This is a treasonable act.
I too perceive her now as insincere, traitor-ious, regarding her words... some years ago. Maybe she wants to harvest another chunk of billions of naira into her private ownership... Who's she? Not a typical Nigerian?
