The paper examines and analyses cultural interaction between the communities that are domiciled along and astride the Nigeria – Cameroon borderlands. Empirical research shows that patterns of socio-cultural and political institutions that existed prior to the colonial vivisection are still vibrant. It is indicated that given these vibrant micro-integration formalities along and astride the boundaries, they could form the basis for wider macro-integration projects. Cultural integration based on the sovereignty percolating realities could convert the border regime from its present barrier, conflictual profile to bridges for integration and development should policy be predicated on the realities on ground.
