THE DEBATE: Was The Southern Cameroons Better Staying in Nigeria?

Was the 1961 decision to join La République du Cameroun a historic mistake? Should The Southern Cameroons have remained in Nigeria after the British-organized plebiscite? This explosive debate revisits one of the most controversial political decisions in African post-colonial history. In this special discussion, we examine the legacy of leaders like John Ngu Foncha and E.M.L. Endeley, the UN plebiscite, the federation experiment, and the long-term consequences that shaped today’s Ambazonia conflict with Cameroon. Did The Southern Cameroons gain political autonomy and development after unification — or lose constitutional safeguards and economic opportunity? This debate analyzes: • The 1961 UN plebiscite and its limited options • The political divide between Foncha and Endeley • Whether Nigeria offered a better federal future • The collapse of the federal system in 1972 • How today’s conflict traces back to that historic choice As tensions continue in The Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia, this conversation asks hard questions about history, governance, federalism, and self-determination. 📌 Watch the full debate and share your perspective. 📢 Subscribe for in-depth political analysis on Cameroon, Nigeria, and African history. #SouthernCameroons #CameroonDebate #1961Plebiscite #AnglophoneCrisis #CameroonHistory #NigeriaAndCameroon #Foncha #Endeley #Federalism #AfricanPolitics #ABS TV
