The Freedom long awaited is just up the Hill. When a great Political figure said Am going home, call it the Southern Cameroon, most media men took him for granted and did not publish that. The long journey has finally seen the light thanks to the combine efforts of those who continuously pointed error of the plebiscite, the victimisation of Southern Cameroon and the 1999 constitutional error of the Federal Republic of Nigeria excluding members of the British Northern Cameroon from certain offices;- (if you look at the definition of who a citizen is, it says: by birth, is one or both of whose parents belongs to an indigenous community to Nigeria as at 1st October 1961) The combine effort of Prof Chia Martin Ateh for the UNO State, Southern Cameroon activists cry and Northern Cameroonians worries have attained high level of success and The UNO of Cameroon has been born -They are advocating that they should be given self-government based on the fact that the Plebiscite that was conducted in 1961 was not registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations. As at that time, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjöld, a Swede was supposed to have accepted the conduct of the Plebiscite but he died in a plane crash over the Congo. So as a result of that, nothing was done so they now resorted to legal interpretation that Article 102 of the United Nations Charter says that any agreement that is conducted by the United Nations or any of its organs ought to be registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations and sub-sect 2 provides that if such an exercise has not been registered, then the exercise is null, void and of no effect. So to them, the Plebiscite was fraudulent. Secondly, the United Nations resolution of 13th December, 1949 and that of 21st April, 1961 which gave certain conditions in either assimilating them with the existing nations or allowing them to have an independent nation have not been followed; as such there is a violation of the resolution of the United Nations; these are their arguments.”
