Cameroon Admits Blunder (04.05.2004)

The invitation of Inter Milan FC of Italy striker Obafemi Martins by the Cameroonian Football Association (FECAFOOT)to their U23 national team during the Athens 2004 Olympic qualifying series has been described as a big blunder by the federation. This was the opinion of the assistant Secretary-General of the Cameroon football federation, FECAFOOT, Prince Esoka Ndoki Mukete.
Mukete, who is from the English speaking part of Cameroon told Sunday Sports that FECAFOOT did not seek clarification from him before the invitation was extended to the Inter Milan player.
"I am the only person who is from the English speaking part of Cameroon in FECAFOOT and as such I would have been contacted if they wanted to know more about the player but rather than contact me, they went behind me and that was a big blunder on their part.
"You can not say because some one was alleged to have been born in Bakassi and automatically say he is a Cameroonian There are people who have been in Bakassi since their birth and long before the part was seceded to Cameroon. I have seen people whose parents are from Nigeria and their children are Cameroonians.
For instance I grew up in Nigeria but that does make me a Nigerian. The fact that Martins was alleged to have been
born in Bakassi does not make him a Cameroonian Again I believe it is only Martins who can say which country he wants to belong to.
"On the part of FECAFOOT, they should have contacted Martins to know his feeling before sending an invitation to him. As far as I am concerned that was a big blunder by FECAFOOT officials," Mukete said.
Martins, on the other hand reacted to the invitation from FECAFOOT to play for the Cameroonian U-23 team saying that he was a Nigerian and there was no doubt about his nationality. He dismissed the idea that he was born in Bakassi which they claim makes him a Cameroonian by birth.
"I was born in Lagos and there is no doubt about that. I am a Nigerian and this insinuation about me being a Cameroonian should stop", Martins had said.
Bakassi, where Martins was alleged to have been born used to be part of Nigeria until the oil-rich area was seceded to the Cameroon by the International Court of Justice in the Hague after a prolonged battle over whoactually owns peninsula. Following the judgement, FECAFOOT thought it was right to invite Martins to play for its U-23 national team. Another reason for his invitation was the failure of Martins to accept the offer to play for both the U-23 team during the All Africa Games in Abuja and the Super Eagles at the African Nations Cup in Tunisia.
