Bakassi Peninsula Handover Talks On Hold!
The much anticipated handover of the Bakassi region to Cameroon is now on hold after it was revealed that the Nigeria vs Cameroon quarterfinals will actually determine who gets the much disputed territories.
At this moment, the Community of West African States and United Nations very concerned over the lack of proper protocol being followed here.
A representative from the UN summed it up best. According to him, this latest development is baffling to say the least. "We simply do not understand why a territorial dispute should be solved on the soccer field but I guess the people of Cameroon and Nigeria know best," he said. He also said, " Our emissaries just returned from the two countries. We tried to reason with the people of Kano, Lagos, Douala, Yaounde, Ibadan and Garoua, but to no avail. This is obviously a longstanding grudge match."
The whole world now holds its breath as it waits for the much anticipated encounter on Sunday in Tunis. The match is expected to decisively determine who gets the territories but just in case, emissaries from the sub-region will try to hammer some sense into Nigeria and Cameroon.
