Otseh: @ samunique, are destitudes not nigerians? don't they have right to live in any part of the country? what the governors shld do is to rehabilitate them not send them away. they are in those places because they can not help themselves, so govt shld help them. many people have failed to realized that street begging has become a lucrative business in nigeria just like child trafficking. this beggers will find it more convenient to go far away from their home state and become commercial beggers. this things they cannot do in their home state cos of shame. its the duty of d host states to pull dis ppl off the streets and reunite them with their families where they can be better and adequately catered for. i will encourage all major cities to emulate this repatriation of destitute so as to discourage commercial street begging 1 Like |

Otseh: don't misunderstand me too, i said very soon from destitudes it will be anybody. it happened before when Lucky Igbinenedion sacked all workers that were not from edo state.i understand u, but we shd not tribalise this, rather, let d Governors of the affected see it as a challenge, may be if they know d numbers of d destitudes and launatics in their states the will be ashamed and stop looting public money meant for people's welfare. That's my take. 2 Likes |

Our problem is predicated on a faulty constitution. Citizenship.. State of origin Local government of origin Family yard or family of origin. In the end, even those who were born and raised 10000 miles from there greatgrand father's village are associated forever. Thinking that this would change merely by staying in a location forever would change that. Will be wrong. Redefine what makes us Nigerians and abolish all these origin wahala, then we can move forward to address issues that affect mankind. |

It happens across Nigeria and it happens across the world. The beggars are not just "deported" (and I'm not yet convinced that anybody was "deported" ), rather it's only those that choose not to go to the rehabilitation/skills acquisition centres, etc that are repatriated. It's happened in Canada, the US, etc. Even the Federal Government practices it in Abuja. It's not unconstitutional if the repatriation is voluntary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG_dIKj-uV0 1 Like |

homesteady: Ok Let every state start sending back non indigene's to their various states na! Mtcheeew Bros, look at the pic again. Those are real destitutes. They beg for a living. You don't equate those people with young agile men who are providing services by selling stuff in traffic after doing more than 100 meters dash in pursuit of faintly sighted interested patron in a moving car. No. The pic above are those to be sent back to where there are coming from and from their looks, we know where. But the cowards and their cowardly leader would rather look the other way and go for those who do not detonate bombs. God has already started answering prayers and more will happen..... Not that i wish anyone bad, you only reap what you sow, only that sometimes you reap bountifully. AMEN. |

I remember General Adisa's question way back in the '90s. "You say we should leave them alone. You say we are violating their rights. How many of you will choose to go and live like that? How many of you will exchange places with them? How many of you will like to see your parents, your brothers and sisters, your children, living like that?" 2 Likes |

Fashola did not do his own with dignity. First of all he collected people from different states and dumped them in Anambra. And why dump them by 3am in the morning knowing fully well that the defenceless deportees could be attacked by criminals at that wee hour. And why people got angry with Fashola is that after that, he thought he could shut up the ibos by refering to them as immigrants and threatning to seize their properties in Lagos. If not what does he Fashola mean by refering to ibos as "guests" who should not quarrel with their "hosts". There are ibos who were born in lagos. There are ibos whose grandfathers were born in Lagos and should be accorded the same right as a Tinubu whose parents are from Osun state. They are not guests...They are Lagos-ibos. What did Fashola mean by telling ibos that "there is a lot at stake here". Is he trying to remind the ibos that their properties and markets are much here so that they should be carefull or else it will be seized? Thats a most irresponsible statement. Very reckless in nature. The day he has that thought is the day he will go the ways of his old man who just left. The world is watching and waiting. If the likes of Fashola and his supporters feel ibos are not welcome in Lagos then they should have kept neutral in the civil war (rather than use Awolowos starvation policy) so that the ibos will deal adequately with the Hausa which am sure was very possible. Now that they entered the war to keep Nigeria one...there is no going back. Ibos will remain in Lagos to flourish. End of Story! 2 Likes |

Otseh: why can't nigeria be one? what is indigenes and non indigenes in the same country? i thought every nigerian has right to live in any part of the country of their choice, so why this repatration of non indigenes to their state? the one Fashola did has not settled, rivers followed. very soon, even normal people will be asked to go to their states. Another problem is on the way. GEJ shld act fast to stop this madness. many of us take citizenship of foreing countries but we are illegal allens in our own country. To reunite with their families. Nut head go read the post again. |

Manlado: Our problem is predicated on a faulty constitution. And may the good Lord bless you. This has always been my take on that misnomer we call "State of Origin." Every form you want to fill in this country, they will ask "state of origin?". To register your SIM card, register your child in school, fill a medical form, even tax form, they will ask "state of origin?" Please what is the essence of such information? What has my state of origin got to do with my sim card? Do I pay taxes to my state of origin when I was born in Lagos, and have lived there most of my life? How does state of origin affect my medical records? Why can't an Hausa or Ibo man be considered a Lagosian if he was born in Lagos and has lived there forever? Why can't a Yoruba boy in Kaduna claim that state as his home state? Funny enough, our International Passport doesn't carry "State of Origin", but "place of Birth. That should tell us what is more important and where you origin truly is |

Street begging and hawking is prohibited in most states in Nigeria, except of course, states in the core North. also Lagos Enugu State Oyo State
Elimination of state of origin and enthronement of state of residence would go a long way to cement relationship in the country, otherwise repatration of destitutes and beggars from state of residence to their states of origin remains legal. |

Of course Amaechi would follow Fashola. Both are equally wrong. Because Lagos did it, does it make it right? No. Because Rivers state did it, does it make it right? No. |

Nebeuwa: Of course Amaechi would follow Fashola. Who decides what is right and what is wrong? Right and wrong are relative from your own point of view as one man's meal is another man's poison and one man Terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.. Other state governors can't be embezzling funds ment to develope their states and have people come drain Lagos state funds... Fashola would not be held responsible because your state govt can't cater for you! Fashola has a lot of legitimate lagosians to cater for and illegitimate immigrants too, destitutes and beggers littering the streets is still fashola's headache.. Very soon, because of Bad governance, the whole nigeria would run to lagos to benefit from Fashola.. If Fashola is the Messiah, let's just say so instead of Wanting to over work the willing fashola horse. You people have seen a working governor and kuku want to kill him with work load of your non-performing governors.. If the Cap fits Fashola, take it From GEJ and hand it to Fashola so we kuku know fashola is the one in charge.. This one that Fashola is the one working and another person sits tight to take the glory is not acceptable. Baba Fash, Fire on.. Eko o ni baje. Rivers can take cue from the pace setter. 2 Likes |

Ok this mine, no wahala, let the west deport every none natives driving crappy commercial cars, hawking on our streets, those who sleep in stalls, those looking for fast one at the sea port and airport, likewise people drinking excessive ogogoro ; then we will see who feels the impact most. 1 Like |
