FROM AUGUST LAST YEAR NIGERIA CEDED ITS LAND BAKASSI TO ITS NEIGHBOUR CAMEROON AND MORE THAN 300,000 OF US WERE DISPLACED FROM OUR HOME LAND AND SOME RELOCATED IN SCHOOLS BUILDING AND OTHER MAKESHIFT CAMPS WITH VERY LITTLE OR NO FOOD AND WATER AT ALL. LIFE HAS SINCE THEN BECOME HIGHLY UNBEARABLE... NO SHELTER, NO FOOD NO JOBS AND MORE SO OUR CHILDREN CANNOT GO TO SCHOOL.
THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT HAVE SO FAR CONFIRMED THERE IS VERY LITTLE OR NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE DISPLACED PEOPLE. I AM HANDING MYSELF AND FAMILY OVER TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO HAVE US RESETTLED IN A COUNTRY WHERE WE CAN HAVE OUR LIFE AGAIN.
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, HAVING UNDERSTOOD THE SUFFERING INFLICTED ON THE DISPLACED BAKASSI INDIGENOUS ARE NOW CALLING ON UNITED NATIONS TO STEP IN IMMEDIATELY AND SAVE THE SOULS OF THESE NEEDY INDIVIDUALS WHOSE LIVES HAVE ALMOST BEEN SNUFFED OUT BY GOVERNMENT ACTION ON BAKASSI PENINSULA. THE UN SHOULD RESETTLE THEM IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY TO HELP THEM LIVE THEIR LIVES AGAIN.
