Nigerians should learn how to respect the confidence they give to their leaders once choosen, understanding that the decission of the president or any leader binds ALL Nigerians.You can not all decide at the same time.You would not have done better if you led the Bakassi case.Let us learn how to stay as one and united nation first, before expanding our teritories to Bakassi and let us make good use of the oil we already have in Niger delter etc before adding Bakassi oil.And never ever think of a war with Cameroon-be warned it is a soverein state and not Biafra or Bokoharam; there are just too many stakes in Nigeria to ever think of an international war-be wise.
