Abstract: purpose: The purpose of this paper on "Anglophone Cameroon Crisis and the Quest for Ambazonian State" aimed at exploring the dynamics surrounding the Southern Cameroon crisis. Methodology: adopted was descriptive design that relied on judgmental sampling technique. Data were gathered from secondary sources (books, journal articles, monographs, internet materials etc.) in Nigerian libraries and subjected to content validity before analyzing it qualitatively. Findings: Result of the findings revealed that availability of natural resources, commercial city of Limbe, proximity of Southern Cameroon to the Gulf of Guinea, political subjugation triggers the quest for Ambazonian State. It also indicated that the Anglophone Cameroon crisis has negatively, impacted on political, economic, social and humanitarian needs of the people. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: These findings have assisted in enhancing explanation and understanding of Frustration -Aggression Theory. Regrettably, international community especially France, Britain, United States, Germany, United Nations and African Union have not taken serious action to mitigate the crisis in Southern Cameroon. This is why the paper recommends inclusive dialogue, international intervention as well as sanction as panacea for Anglophone Cameroon crisis.
