PapaBrowne:

The sad reality you guys have failed to embrace is that tribalism pays nobody. It only serves to hurt you.
Chaougory would not claim to own Lagos as it belongs to everybody that has bought land there. But he can well claim to be the custodian of Banana Island, as well as the owner of the land on which Eko Hotel sits and also this magnificent new city being built.

Tribal ownership of land in urban communities is a figment of the imagination of those who believe such. Those folks are omoniles at best. While you keep claiming ephemeral tribal ownership, others have gone ahead to acquire certificate of ownership.

Source of ethnic breakdown?? Like you seriously believe there is a list on Eko Atlantic stating what ethnicity purchase land there?? This tribalism is getting serious. Well let me oblige you. Most of the land is purchased in the name of companies majority of which(over 90%) were owned by non-Yoruba. Many are owned by Foreign Investment vehicles and the local owners are the same kind of folks that own real estate in Ikoyi & VI. So imagine the likes of Orji Kalu, TY Danjuma, Jim Ovia, Elumelu et al.

Please lets look beyond tribalism and discuss the merits of this wonderful city and its capacity attract huge amounst of investments to this country.
Childish and pitiable emesis. Pathetic

omonuan:

Your assertion is called the fallacy of "tu quoque." In Nigerian parlance, it is called "you nko?" It is also known as pot calling kettle black argument. This is a red herring in which you use ad hominem attack to justify your atrocious behavior. According to you, it is okay for Fashola to deport sorry, I mean reunite e em "destitute" with their family at Onitsha head bridge at 4 am because other governors have done it and he he has done it to others too,

My friend your logic is absurd. No Nigerian should be deported or forcibly "reunited " with their family against their wish. There is no justifiable reason why any Nigerian "destitute"or rich should be abducted and forcibly relocated to wherever. It does not matter your tribe and no matter how you look at it, Fashola's conduct is not only unconstitutional, it is also morally reprehensible.

Did Fashola have tribal animus when he deported his "destitute?" I doubt it! I believe that Fashola's motive is more bougousie than anything else. He does not want poor people in Lagos therefore being a destitute is now a criminal act. He should be ashamed of himself for declaring a class war in Lagos which has now led to tribal war online.

Okay folks we are entering a slippery slope. Lets see how this is gonna end up. Today it is the "destitute," yesterday it was the "Fulani herdsmen" in Delta. Who is next? Lets see how this will play out! The fact is that with what is going on, any Nigerian could be abducted, labelled and deported. Those who are applauding this type of nonsensical action especially the Yoruba should be careful what they ask for because they may get it.

Politics / Re: Governor Peter Obi Repatriated Destitutes To Ebonyi And Akwa Ibom In 2011 by 0monna: 1:45pm On Aug 06, 2013
The All Progressives Congress says the “sensationalisation” of the recent “home return” of 14 persons from Lagos State by Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State can threaten the nation’s unity.

The party, in a statement on Sunday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said Obi’s action was dangerous.

The APC said instead of reaching out to his Lagos State counterpart, as he had done on less important issues in the past, Obi wrote an “over-dramatised letter” to the Presidency and leaked it to the media.

According to the party, Obi, by his action, has set off an avoidable friction between the Igbo and the Yoruba.

The APC added that Obi by the approach, wanted to gain an undue advantage ahead of the forthcoming Anambra governorship election.

The APC stated, “We are not saying Governor Obi has no right to play politics, but he must fight clean and avoid any action that could hurt, not just the enduring harmony between the Igbo and the Yoruba, but also the unity of the country.

“Resorting to primordial sentiments, anytime election is approaching, is Governor Obi’s modus operandi. He did it just before the 2009 election, when he labelled the ACN, under which Dr. Chris Ngige contested, as a Yoruba party, and he is going down the same path now. This is all about the November 2013 election.

“If Governor Obi is sure of his performance, he should allow that to speak for him and stop whipping up tribal sentiments. It is very dishonourable for a political leader, at the level of Obi, to show total disregard for the truth and to whip up emotions for personal gains,as he has done on this issue. By his deliberate and blatant distortion of facts, as we will show shortly, Obi has raised a serious doubt about his leadership qualities.”

The party also accused some non-governmental organisations of “indiscretion and deliberate peddling of falsehood.”

The party said, “Even some of the respectable Igbo socio-political organisations failed the simple test of fairness by not checking the truth before making pronouncements.

“Even if they do not trust the Lagos State Government, they could have, at least, inquired about what happened from their son, who is a ranking member of the cabinet of Lagos State.”

The party added, “All those, who consider the home return of 14 Anambra indigenes as a reflection of the Lagos State Government’s (and by extension the Yoruba) ill-will toward the Igbo, should consider the following facts.

“There was an exchange of correspondence dated April 9, 15 and 29 2013 between the Lagos State Government and Anambra State Government, through its Liaison Office in Lagos, about the ‘integration’ not ‘deportation’ of the 14 people.

“Anambra State Government did not respond to requests by Lagos State to come and validate/identify the people, who claimed to have come from Anambra. Had it done so, this issue could have been better managed.

“Lagos State itself received notice from the Government of Akwa Ibom to come, identify and pick up two Lagos indigenes that they picked up in a ‘lunatic clean up’ exercise in Uyo. Lagos responded promptly without making any noise about it.

“In December, 2011, the same Anambra State Government, that is now crying foul over the home return of Anambra indigenes, arrested and repatriated 29 beggars to their home states in Ebonyi, another Igbo State, and Akwa Ibom
.

“Then, it was conveniently not ‘deportation’ but ‘repatriation’ and no tribal meanings were read to such action.”

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Anambra State Governor, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, said he would discuss with his principal before reacting to the APC statement.

He promised to call back as soon as he got the governor’s nod. He had yet to call back as of the time of filing this report at 10pm.

THROWBACK: Anambra Govt arrests, repatriates beggars to Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi
Sani Tukur
Published:August 4,2013

Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi

The Anambra State government is currently battling its Lagos state counterpart for repatriating destitute people arrested on the streets of Lagos to their home state of Anambra.

Anambra state Governor, Peter Obi, has indeed fired a strongly worded letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, describing the relocation of destitute people from his state as “illegal, unconstitutional, and a blatant violation of the human rights” of the “deportees”.

But checks by PREMIUM TIMES indicate that the Anambra state government had in the past arrested beggars on the streets of Awka and swiftly repatriated them to their home states of Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom.

Below are two reports of the arrests and “deportation” as captured by two Nigerian newspapers at the time.

Anambra Orders Arrest Of Child Beggars

Leadership, December 4, 2011

DAVID-CHYDDY ELEKE

The Anambra state government has issued a warning to all street beggars, especially children used by their parents to beg for alms, to vacate the streets or be arrested.

29 of such women who displayed their children as strategy for getting alms have already been arrested in Awka and Onitsha, and repatriated to their home states; Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states.

The state commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Dr. Ego Cordelia Uzoezie, disclosed Friday in Awka when a middle-aged woman was arrested for begging with nine children at various points in Awka.

Uzoezie said her attention was drawn to the spectacle when one of the children who begged at the Unizik junction, Awka, six-year-old Goodnews Sunday, was hit in the jaw by an Okada rider, while he begged.

Uzoezie decried the attitude of some parents who used their children to beg for alms, and warned that after 72 hours any beggar seen in the state would be arrested by the law enforcement agents and the special task force of the ministry of women affairs and social development.

Anambra Govt Orders The Arrest Of Beggars With Children, 29 Arrested So Far

CHAMPION, DEC 4, 2011

By Odogwu Emeka Odogwu, Awka

In its determined efforts to rid the state environment of beggars daily increasing in their numbers, the Anambra state government has issued an ultimatum to all the street beggars especially those using children to beg in Anambra state to vacate the streets or face arrest within 72 hours.

Meanwhile over 29 beggars with children have been arrested in Awka and Onitsha , warned and repatriated back to their various states of origin mostly Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states to mention but a few.

Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development , Dr Ego Cordelia Uzoezie disclosed Friday in Awka when a middle aged woman was arrested begging with 9 children at various points in Awka.

The attention of Dr Uzoezie was drawn to the beggar with children when one of the kids begging at Unizik junction Awka , 6 years old Goodnews Sunday was hit while begging by an Okada operator injuring her jaw.

She was later taken to Beacon Hospital Awka after two hospitals turned her down when good Samaritans rushed her to hospital for first aid. Reasons for her rejection are yet to be ascertained as at press time.

Uzoezie decried the attitude of some parents who indulge in using children to beg, warning that after 72 hours any beggar seen in the state would be arrested by the law enforcement agents and the special task force of the ministry of women affairs and social development.

The accident victim Goodnews said she came from Akwa-Ibom Oron in Akwa-Ibom state and is staying with her mother at Isu-Aniocha but her twelve years old Sister , Blessing Sunday not only concurred the story of her sister but admitted that her mother actually sent them to go for the begging and that they used to be students of Anointed Nursery/Primary school Awada Obosi until they were pushed into begging following taunts on their mother who use to hawk curry and garri at Onitsha by one Happiness from Calabar.

Blessing further informed that the accident victim is a twin and that their parents now do nothing but to depend on what they were able to get from the begging. She said they would use it to pay for their school fees and house rent and equally build a house. She however contradicted herself when she later said she and her sister were being enslaved by one, Happiness who was already repatriated but came back to Anambra.

The other woman with 5 children, Mrs Nwakaego Eze from Amafor Uli, in Ihiala local government of Anambra state married to Arochukwu in Abia state blamed her begging now on week days to the dislocation of her husband and others from the Army barracks Onitsha as their begging before now was only on weekends.

She said although they have a house at No 2 Igbamaeze Street Awada Obosi , she equally rented a house at Isu-Aniocha to enable them sleep after begging in Awka. She said her children were not begging with her before as they were students of Basic Foundation but since after the Army Barracks dislocation they have joined her in begging, She further said they are now going to Anointed Nursery/Primary School Awada Obosi. She promised not to use the children for begging again, if allowed to walk home free.

But the Director Child Development , Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development , Mr Emeka Ejide warned the beggars to leave their children alone and can beg if they choose to as the interest of the ministry and Anambra state government are on the children. He said the Ministry has repatriated more than 29 women begging with children to their various states and would not hesitate to deal with parents who still engage in such acts describing them as products of Mammy market Onitsha where anything goes before its closure.

One of the good Samaritans who rushed the victim to hospital Mrs Stella Samuel incidentally an indigene of Akawa Ibom wondered why people from Akwa Ibom state must still be begging in Anambra state when the Governor of Akwa Ibom, Governor Godswill Akpabio had declared free education for children of the state. She said the accident happened in front of her shop and she had to run around to save the life of the girl but was shocked that no hospital wanted to accept her until later when the Ministry took custody of her and others.

But the President General of Akwa-Ibom Central Union, Anambra state , Sir Chris Ekanem who not only admitted that the victim and some of the beggars came from Akwa-Ibom but requested for authority for them to repatriate them home since their Governor Akpabio has given free education to people like them.

He appealed that those who brought them to Anambra only to subject them to begging should be punished adding that they had reported to the police the incident. He revealed that the children told him in their dialect that they were many in the state from the same Akwa Ibom doing the same business of begging in Anambra state.

Maxymilliano:

Bros na my name you mention so ? grin grin grin ... Anyway my post was not directed at you but to refute some misinformations contained in the original post with facts.

I don't need newspaper excerpt or video clips from youtube to support what I know about current happenings in Ogun State, and if you feel my intentions was to ensure no credit is given to ACN administrators, then, I owe you no apology for that.

I give credit where credit is due, and if you care to go through the thread which dwelt on the massive infrastructure developments in the State, I gave kudos to the governor and even described his effort as massive.

I can provide you with proven facts on remarkable strides taking by the government so far to help and improve upon the industrialization plans for the State which I'm privy to, I don't need to scout through google or youtube all night to do that.

For the record, I'm more into ACN than PDP, don't just assume what you don't know by tagging some people as apologists of GEJ just because of the differential in our political leanings ...

Cheers ...
Guy just be patient
Some ACN Fanatics are worse than Boko Haram in their zealotry and intolerance for differing views. Unfortunately the baboon has met more than his match in me and has resorted to using multiple Ids.What a pathetic and despicable loser.

Because when Zik won election to become Premier of Western Nigeria, Awolowo chased him out of the West, to return to Onitsha, and be Premier of Eastern Region. Since then, ONE NIGERIA was aborted before Independence in 1960.
The reason Zik was chased out was because he lost the vote not "election" to be Premier. In the Parliamentary system you are elected as a legislator and it is the legislators who vote in Premiers NOT the electorate. The legislators who were almost entirely Yorubas voted for Zik not Awo.

Gbawe:

Look, do you know the antecedent of those who ask for us not to "politicise" this revelation when no one was doing such in the first place? Is is wrong to show the proactive plans put in place for the industrialization of Ogun State or are you new here not to note that there are many here, like Maximilliano, who are die-hard supporters and apologists of GEJ who simply want to ensure no credit is given to ACN administrators?

Be clear about one thing. Much of what Amosun is doing, to include his efforts in areas such as security and infrastructural development plus the one-stop shop for investors, are influencing the choices of destination potential investors are making.

Also, what exactly is 'ACN sympathisers' when the progress we are seeing today would not be possible without the people who showed passionate conviction to support the ACN in the belief it is better than the PDP? What exactly are you suggesting? ACN supporters should not speak and "neutral voices" should own the arena over a topic concerning an ACN-led state highlighting the positive results stemming from the deliberate and proactive policies ACN leadership showed that was absent in the past? Are those who have spoken, to direct you into saying what you now do, "neutral" themselves or are they mischeif-making blind backers of GEJ?

How do you want to talk about positive development under ACN leaders while seeking to disenfranchise those who support the Party so "politically neutral" folks alone can talk? Is that not discrimination? Did political neutrality get rid of the PDP? Please don't be goaded into becoming part of deceit because of those who are hardcore supporters of GEJ and only speak here so credit is not given where due. You should understand the forum and its character and keep your neutrality to your own contribution instead of going beyond that to be taking on other. ACN sympathiser or not, has anyone contributed lies here in showing the efforts of Amosun?

Watch the youtube video below and note Amosun enunciating the deliberate effort of his regime to boost industrialization.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msglw5Hx0ns
I do not like your tone.I have my opinion which may not like but do not talk down at me. I am not interested in the political angle and I do not see how Amosun takes credit for bringing Dangote,M&B or WEPCO.Whether you like it or not people will see things from a different perspective so you must be tolerant. Otherwise in real life people come to blows or here to abusive words.Let us learn how to be more tolerant and courteous.I have my views and my objective here is to air them as a counterbalance to others.I am not trying to change the minds of zealots.
I do not expect Amosun to tell us in the video that he has been robbing Ogun blind so I don't see how the video is any more or less credible than videos of OGD. My point here is not that AMOSUN is not working but ;

"HE DID NOT BRING 35 COMPANIES TO OGUN IN "YEARS"
no more no less, that is a preposterous and misleading assertion to put it politely.Some of this so called Progress namely the entry of this businesses occurred underPDP's watch as I have said I am not prepared to give OGD credit so why should I give AMOSUN I have EVERY RIGHT to express that and I have not insulted anyone or inhibited anyone who disagrees.Anyone who tries to inhibit me will end up starting something very nasty and unpleasant .
I do not recall quoting you.What gives you the right to address me with "should"?Do you pay for my internet access or do you feed me? Guy take am easy I beg you make we no begin "bloodful"ourselvesPeace

RedReact: Omo-nna, you are right. Party affiliation should not dusturb us from calling and shouting for progress in our land and our country. That is why SW is a dybamic region, but if the past admins could do what these guys in power are doing, we won't be where we are toda. Afterall, great Awo stil had opposition among his countrymen despite his legendary works.
What exactly is this admin doing that is so special?
we have already established that several of those companies were completed or near completion during OGD's tenure; M&B,Dangote and WEPCO.Now I would be loathe to give OGD credit for any of that as the man was a crook but it will be dishonest to give Amosun credit either. We must be Objective and fair.In the same vein the FG has as much right to claim credit as the State. In my own view we should give credit to them all or none at all.I prefer the latter. Amosun has been there for 2 years and to claim that he has brought in 35 companies through his policies is something that should be saved for village bumpkins. Let us leave politics out of it and celebrate progress no need for controversy.Awo's works were not controversial or disputed. How can you claim Amosun brought Dangote or WEPCO or M&B to OGUN particularly Dangote.Who legislates for limestone if not the FG. If anyone takes credit for Dangote it will be OBJ
