Pries 9d. Nst. 2 COLONIAL REPORTS—ANNUAL. No. 1155. ' NIGERIA. ANNUAL GENERAL REPORT FOR 1922. 1. GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTE. The Colony and Iroiectorate of Nigeria is situated on the northern shores of tha Gulf of Guinea. It is bounded on the west and north by French territory and on the east by the former German Colony of the Cameroons. Great Britain has recently received a mandate over a small portion of the Cameroons (31,150 square miles) which, for purposes of administration, has been placed under the Nigerian Government. The remainder of the Cameroons is administered by the French under a mandate, so, for all practical purposes, all the land frontiers of Nigeria march with French territory. 2. The area of Nigeria is approximately 335,700 square miles, and it is thus larger than any British Dependency other than Tanganyika, India and the self-governing Dominions. It is nearly three times the size of the United Kingdom. Along the entire coast-line runs a belt, from 10 to 60 miles in width, of dense mangrove forest and swamp intersected by the branches of the Niger delta and other rivers, which are connected one with another by innumerable creeks, the whole constituting a con­ tinuous inland waterway from beyond the western boundary of Nigeria almost to the Cameroons.

  • Nigeria, Cameroon and the Bakassi Territorial Dispute Settlement: the Triumph of Bilateralism
    International Affairs and Global Strategy www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-574X (Paper) ISSN 2224-8951 (Online) Vol.38, 2015 Nigeria, Cameroon and the Bakassi Territorial Dispute Settlement: The Triumph of Bilateralism E. C. ARIYE 1 Department of History, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Isaac Jasper Boro College of Education Sagbama, P.M.B 74, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State Nigeria Abstract This paper dwells on the subject of the application of bilateral negotiations in the resolution of disputes/conflicts, taking the Nigeria-Cameroon dispute over Bakassi as a case in point. It blends perspectives on the bilateralism/negotiation approach with the reality of this case and argues that alternative dispute resolution forms, in this instance, its facilitated negotiation, led to ultimate resolution. Given that dispute/conflict resolution seeks to find solutions acceptable to parties to achieve peaceful coexistence, the question arises as to whether the ICJ’s ruling in itself was able to amicably resolve this case? The answer is that the Judgment of October 2002 did not lead immediately to settlement, rather it engendered defiance and ambivalence from Nigeria, leading subsequently to the intervention of stakeholders in the international system, especially Western countries, and particularly the UN and its then Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, who galvanized the UN machinery to institute direct bilateral talks between Nigeria and Cameroon to thrash out their differences. The emergent Mixed Commission and the Greentree Agreement of 2006 ensured the achievement of reconciliation, lasting peace and final resolution along the lines of the ICJ’s ruling of 2002. Introduction Brierly (1963) says that the problem of effecting the peaceful settlement of a dispute between two states admits of two alternative methods of approach.

  • The British Occupation of Southern Nigeria, Thesis
    374 Nei Ufa, ss THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA, 1851-1906 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Coundil of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Andrew 0. Igbineweka, B. A. Denton, Texas December, 1979 Igbineweka, Andrew 0., The British Occupation of Southern Nigeria, 1851-1906. Master of Arts (History), December, 1979, 72 pp., bibliography, 47 titles. The study indicates that the motives which impelled the creation of the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria were complex, variable, and sometimes contradictory. Many Englishmen within and without the government, indeed, ad- vocated the occupation of the area to suppress the slave trade, but this humanitarian ambition, on balance, was not as significant as political and economic interests. The importance of the Niger waterway, rivalry with France and other maritime nations, andmissionary work, all led Britain to adopt a policy of aggrandizement and to proclaim a pro- tectorate over the Niger districts, thereby laying the foundation for modern Nigeria. The London government ac- quired territory through negotiating treaties with the native chiefs, conquest, and purchase. British policy and consular rule between 1851 and 1906 was characterized by gunboat diplomacy, brutality, and flagrant disregard for treaty rights; nonetheless, the British presence has made a positive impact on Nigeria's historical, political, economic, intellectual, and cultural development. PRE FACE An investigation of the British occupation of Southern Nigeria reveals that recent historians -have neglected the genesis of this colonial enterprise and have emphasized the rise of Nigerian nationalism and federalism in the twentieth century.
