@nex No, not Lagos again. We already have enough on our hands to contend with. I would suggest Edo state for a change. ![]() |

sjeezy8: and I still say he has no such rights. Nigeria is a lawless place so he could whatever he liked.Even he ordered that these people be shot at the outskirts of Lagos,nothing would probably happen to him. |

nigeria is a place where pple dont know how to take care of the less fortunate. how many times have you guys here been to a home for the less privilege and donate something? just say it you all tired of giving your coins to them and happy that Mr. F is packing them off to Kad. learn to give back to your community, go serve soups at the nearest group home (hopefully there are some in nig). learn to give back, learn to care for the poor and poverty stricken. |

LOL One Nigeria hypocrisy. When it suits them they'll scream ONE NAIJA and when it doesn't they'll be mute. I thought Yoruba one Nigerians should show compassion for their fellow Nigerians getting deported in their own dear country. LOL This is pure madness. Lets be real aint no One NIgeria and this is just a lil sign of the nation is slowly disintegrating. Lagos govt is making it now clear that no matter how long you've been n Lagos if u aint of Yoruba ancestry and you begging you will be deported to a non Yoruba area quick. lol. Our Governors in the East should do the same thing jare. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by sjeezy8: 8:48pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
$osisi: I highly doubt he ordered people to be shot (if so provide a fact or an article) If he did the PDP would have jumped all over it Mind you Lagos state is not run by the PDP and is the national government's most rebellious state. Your saying fashola can does whatever he like because its Naija, as if he's part of the PDP and hes not. Dont know if you keep up with Nigerian politics but the Fed government is NO friend of Lagos state. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by sjeezy8: 8:50pm On Aug 24, 2009 |

@kobojunkie I am not trivializing the issue but you might not know the various efforts of Lagos State Govt to rid the streets of these people. It has become a menace. Some of them who are able bodied can't fancy being employed and productive in whatever capacity. So why dissipate so much energy on this issue? The other time i read about KAI-Kick Against Indiscpline officers manhandling street traders and taking them to Kirikiri , i felt it was appalling but the state govt stood its ground. A certain commisioner pointed that street trading has been banned and remains an offence punishable by law. That is for people who are even involved in certain economic activities. Knowing Fashola, i doubt if he would have done it without prior warning. You can confirm that much from those resident in Lagos |

@ Sgeezy8 and Udezue I bet you don't want to continue doing this. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by tarano: 9:11pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
Lagos state has no done anything wrong by assisting identified and partially rehabed street beggers to get to their families and home towns. Lagos has only relocated 160 Northern beggers. Before jumping into conclussion Do we know the number of street beggers that are undergoing rehab at various rehab centers in the state? Do we know the number of street beggers that are facing possibility of Jail time or Psychiatric Hospitals for going against the law in Lagos state as it relates to street begging? Do we know the number of former street beggers that have now been trained and can independently fend for themselves? Do you know the number of former kid street beggers that are in foster homes or schools in Lagos? We do not know all these. so please don't be quick to judge. relocating 160 former beggers or recalcitrant beggers to location close to there original homes may not be bad, If for the lack of numbers lagos has rehab and trained on average 5000 every year. or have jailed 200 repeat offenders, or have |

pcicero: The problem did not start 2 years ago. It has been in existence for decades now. I am quite up to date on what the present and past governments have tried so tried to rectify the situation, and I do understand that some of, not a majority of these people are actually able bodied persons. But that still is no reason for us to start on this path at all, in my opinion. pcicero: Prior warning does not change a beggars life. Banning begging is one thing. Deporting Beggars who break the law is another thing. What part of this do you not seem to understand? If there is a ban on begging, and people are caught begging, then the law should kick in to punish offenders. Since when did punishment for crime now include deportation? |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Tsiya(m): 9:21pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
Deporting beggers to Kaduna is unjust to Kaduna State. If the Gov really want to get rid of Professional Beggers from Lagos it shouldn't just behave like over-jealous mother in-Law trying to take over the house of her son. A state is suppose to be reasonable. They should have identified the States origin of each of the beggers they arrested and ship them to state Secretriats not smuggle them in the Night like you are dumping refuse. These ppl are human being for God Sake. Most of them are cripple. They deserve more compassion. Im dissappointed with his action |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Hauwa1: 9:26pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
Tsiya, saanu. true talk, i'm sure they have adopted Lagos as home. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Tsiya(m): 9:32pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
Sannu Hauwa. There is nothing like adopting Lagos as home when you dont have a place to sleep. I doubt if these ppl have homes in Lagos. However, wether Lagos is their home or not they are Nigerians. They are also human. Governments should be rational. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by nex(m): 9:41pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
@sjeezy8 You're beginning to sound like only PDP Governors can do wrong. We shouldn't condone evil just because of our choice of Political Parties. @pcicero packing people 13 in a room and feeding them twice a day is not rehabilitation. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by tarano: 9:55pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
Seriously this is not an easy issue we have to balance view between proponents of Lagos Urban Renewal and advocates for the protection of the rights of street beggers. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by sjeezy8: 9:59pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
udezue: ok, back to topic kid nex: I understand other parties do wrong, but im sayin if Fashola ordered the shooting of people as OSIS said The PDP would be the first to call him out and put him in jail. Tsiya: Alot are not nigerians but from Niger republic and yes the FEDERAL Government should assist Nigeria as a whole by protecting its borders. But for those who are already there the FEDERAL Government should actually develop more places other than major cities. Fashola can only do for his own state. If other Governors were like Fashola people would stay in there own states. To often people come to LAGOS. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by igboboy1(m): 10:00pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
@sjeezy8 can u ever be serious? Its not about ethnicity. Ok he sent some yorubas home too but my point remains, "you cannot deport a Nigerian citizen from anywhere in Nigeria" Until lagos is a COuntry then that action becomes valid |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Beaf: 10:04pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
A national conference is urgently needed. Unfortunately, the only thing binding Nigeria is revenue handouts from the landlord of a piece of land named Nigeria. This thread has exposed what we all know, that we do not believe in, trust or love each other. That some of us regard Northern beggars as little less than animals (I don't think it ends with beggars alone). It has also revealed that Lagosians (symtomatic of the wider country), maintain a hierachy of allegiances: [list] [li]first to their ethnic group[/li] [li]second to their state[/li] [li]third to states with similar ethnic demographics to theirs[/li] [li]little or nothing to the Northern states[/li] [li]little or nothing to the nation[/li] [/list] Fashola (SAN) has been so passionately struck by the instinctive allegiances, that his legal mind was totally shut out of a monstrous decision. Why do we pretend that we can continue like this? Why do we pretend that the structure of our "nation" is workable? Why not just sit down like mature people and lay down what will work and what will not; each by their regional circumstances, culture, ethnicity and resources? This case shows more than anything that we are very foolishly applying bandages and rickety patches to a project that was grounded at birth; mistaking its drunken and suicidal steps to unescapable perdition as signs of life. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by sjeezy8: 10:04pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
igbo boy: my point in saying he sent home yorubas was that its not about tribes it about TAX PAYING LAGOSIANS |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Tsiya(m): 10:07pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
sjeezy8: First of all there is nothing like protecting our borders against Nigeriens. As ECOWAS states we can move freely within Ecowas communities without the need of passport. Asking ppl to stay in their own states is like killing mankind. Just because we have political boarders those not mean that people should not move. Human beings hav bn over centuries and ppl should be allowed to move to whereever they want. And once you agree to become a country, then there should be no restriction as to where ppl should move and who should move from one state to another. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by sjeezy8: 10:07pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
Beaf: WHY ARE USING TRIBE DID YOU SEE LAGOSIAN YORUBA PROTEST WHEN THEY SENT OYO PEOPLE PACKING? NO If anything i can agree with is the fact lag[b][/b]osian care about Lagos state and that is the same with every state in Nigeria. |
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by sjeezy8: 10:10pm On Aug 24, 2009 |
