The fact that Nigeria has no development

Doesn't it make sense to allow Igbos to migrate to other parts of the country, if they want too

Isn't the country already dead and boring enough

Peter Obi also deported people from Abia state that time I wonder why there was no uproar

It has failed and it will remain so. It is dangerous politics that may rock the boat and put to danger the cordial and well-respected relationship between Igbo and Yoruba that dates back to 1970, if not properly handled. The chance takers and peddlers of misinformation will fail. In 2011 Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State deported 29 Akwa-Ibom State and Ebonyi State indigenes on the pretext that they were begging in Awka and Onitsha and heaven did not fall. About the same time Governor Orji of Abia State sacked over 3,000 indigenes of Anambra, Imo, Enugu, and Ebonyi States from the Abia Civil Service and sentenced tens of thousands of Igbo men and their families to untimely death, eternal poverty and degradation, yet heaven did not fall.

As at today, Lagos still hosts more Anambra people than Anambra State. Anambra people generate more wealth in Lagos than in Anambra so who loses in the devilish plot to use 14 destitute victims of poor, timid and rural governance in Anambra, who were chased into Lagos to live under the bridges for primitive politics in the end? But, as I said, the Igboman is not foolish and will like to know why a government feels its citizens are better off living as destitutes under the bridges of Lagos than in their home state.

‘Deportation’: Fashola offers full response to Obi
Friday, August 2, 2013 7:22 pm

Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola has offered a more detailed response to his Anambra State counterpart, Peter Obi as controversy raged over the sending home of some indigenes of Anambra.

It was his second response in 24 hours.

Fashola first corrected the exaggerated number of the people involved. He said they were 14 and not 70 or 72 as being circulated.

Second, his response included past letters to the Anambra state Governor, since April, informing him about the plight of the 14 people, who had indicated their desire to return to their home state, after they were rehabilitated at Majidun Rehabilitation Centre.


Fashola said the 14 people were picked up on the steets of Lagos “as part of a continuous exercise to assist vulnerable citizens who roam our streets without food or shelter and a number who have medical ailments, usually in the nature of mental infirmity”.

“They were taken to Majidun Rehabilitation Centre where they treated, detoxified and restored. Thereafter, it was possible for medical and social workers to interview them.

“In the event, they disclosed that they were from Anambra and sought assistance to go back home”, said the letter.

For those who may be thinking that the decision to send the 14 people home was the sole invention of Lagos State Government, Governor Fashola also included a letter from the Akwa Ibom Government to Lagos Ministry of Women Affairs, repatriating two indigenes of Lagos, who were picked up on the streets of Uyo.

If they are security risk, our lazy police should start working

Government should help them get shelter
And the ones the government can't help Should find some place to live in a ghetto

Small Cameroon has 4 million Igbos living there, why can't Nigeria do the same

Ilamina:
Why can't the Lagos government do the same

Why do they have to send them back, they came to lagos for a reason

But, as I said, the Igboman is not foolish and will like to know why a government feels its citizens are better off living as destitutes under the bridges of Lagos than in their home state.

Ilamina:
They are better off in Lagos
They left for a reason

Ilamina:


Not necessarily

Every Nigerian is allowed to migrate to other parts of Nigeria

Ilamina:
It's their choice

No need to deport them

He was wrong too
