The Lagos State Clampdown on Street Trading: Another Vicious Attack on the Poor that Must be Stopped NOW.

The Federation of Informal Workers Organizations of Nigeria (FIWON) hereby condemns in unequivocal terms the new frenzy with which the Lagos Government is implementing the vexatious 2003 Lagos State Street Trading and Illegal Markets Law. It should be noted that this law since its enactment and the gestapo methods and structures that were established to implement it among which is the obnoxious Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) Brigade as well as the Black Maria trucks used to ferry captured traders to prison, has been nothing but one long gross violation of the fundamental rights of Nigerians, to move around freely and earn their livelihoods. The Black Maria, historically used to ferry hardened criminals has found new use to transport street vendors abducted by the so called KAI brigades to prisons in Lagos state and various organization as well as men and women of conscience have found reasons to condemn this terrible assault on the poor.

The FIWON leadership finds it shocking and absolutely reprehensible that at a time that overwhelming numbers of Nigerians are groaning under a biting economic depression occasioned by Governments failure to develop the productive forces of the society through sensitive investment in critical sectors of the economy including refineries, electricity, roads etc while leading functionaries of Government at all levels have been fingered in various financial heists and theft of public resources in the magnitude of trillions of naira, the Lagos state government would be engaged in acts capable of inflicting more pain on the poor and vulnerable members of the society. We also find it necessary to emphasize that the 2003 law which is now being viciously implemented violates both international law especially Article 25 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and Sections 14 and 16 of the Nigerian 1999 Constitution. It is also pertinent to note that the 2016 African Regional Meeting on the UN Habitat 111 which held in Abuja recently under the auspices of the Federal Minister of Housing, Hon. Babatunde Fashola expressly condemns acts that inflict violence on the rights of the poor to access public spaces for the purpose of carrying out their legitimate livelihoods. The Meeting also made far reaching recommendations for equitable and sustainable use of public spaces. According to Habitat 111 Policy Paper on the Right to the city and Cities for All, Feb. 2016,

The Right to the City envisions a socially and spatially just distribution and planning of material resources, ensuring good living conditions across the human settlement continuum. These resources, accessible in both formal and informal sectors and areas, are defined by acceptable quality standards, and include: public space and the urban commons; investments in basic infrastructures and services (e.g. water, electricity, waste, and sanitation); appropriate, accessible and affordable transportation options; appropriate and dignified housing and settlements; equitable livelihoods, opportunities, and decent jobs, including solidarity and circular economy initiatives; education; healthcare; and investments in the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity, and in climate change protection. This pillar envisions all inhabitants, particularly women, as caretakers and as protagonists in the delivery and enjoyment of these resources for a full life. In this respect, it also requires recognition and specific measures targeting marginalized groups (e.g. young people, migrants and refugees, informal workers, and the differently abled).

Finally FIWON wishes to publicly state that often quoted resolve of the Lagos State government to build a mega city while seemingly attractive is actually extremely backward, alienating, repressive, insensitive and capricious policy when interpreted to mean that the poor and vulnerable are to be excluded from making use of public spaces to earn meager livelihoods. We wish to expressly state that even in advanced, developed societies, street vending is not only allowed but government strives to make inclusive, laws that allow participatory regulation of the use of public spaces. For instance, a 2015 government policy on street trading in the U.K. recommends inter alia that:

amending street trading legislation so that undue restrictions on licences for pedlars and street traders are removed

removing the requirement for a pedlar to have lived in the area where he or she wants to operate
Commenting on the new policy, the British Consumer Affairs Minister Jo Swinson said:
Street traders play a vital role in vibrant marketplaces right across the UK. These changes will ensure that shoppers can have confidence that street traders have undergone proper checks before trading, while making those checks simple and straightforward.
Street trading stalls are an important part of British culture and offer a great place to shop. We want a system that is fair for everyone who wants to sell and buy goods.
Proposed amendments to the British Pedlars Act strives to ensure that -
The reforms will also remove a requirement for traders to prove that they have lived in an area they wish to trade in for at least one month. This was not compliant with European law and restricted enterprise unnecessarily.
The changes will help to reduce barriers to street traders and pedlars by making it easier to trade, boosting retail and helping small traders - including many young entrepreneurs - to expand and grow. (See https://www.gov.uk/government/news/street-trading-and-pedlary-laws-to-be-modernised.
Also in India, following a judgment of the Supreme Court of India in 2010 which recognized street vending as a source of livelihood, the Government of India worked out a central legislation, and a draft of same was unveiled on November 11, 2011. India is the first country to create and adopt a progressive, centralized legislation relating to street trading.
The Bill has several provisions to protect social security and human rights while delegating some responsibilities to local decision making bodies. The law represents an important milestone in recognizing street vendors as important members of the urban economy while guaranteeing then representation in urban planning processes. (See http://wiego.org/informal_economy_law/street-vendors-and-law)
If indeed this is a democracy, the enactment of spurious laws to satisfy the hackneyed taste of our neo-elites in flagrant violation of the constitution must be discontinued. While we concede that government has a responsibility to regulate the use of public spaces, we also insist such effort at regulation should strive at positive engagement of all stakeholders while policies and programs must be inclusive and participatory. FIWON therefore uses this space to call on the Lagos State Government to:
Abrogate the so called 2003 Lagos State Street Trading and Illegal Markets Law immediately.
Commence a genuinely participatory process of drawing up a new public policy that would regulate the use of public spaces with relevant government investment in the creation of easily accessible modern open markets as we have all over the world, simple neighbourhood markets and sales clusters as well as construction of more side - walks and setbacks on urban community roads.
Stop forthwith the spate of indescriminate arrests of traders and the use of the inhuman Black Maria trucks to convey hapless Nigerians whose only crime is to try and survive on the streets, to jail.

Health / Re: Info On Intimate Care by stainny: 8:37pm On Oct 27, 2014
The only one i can safely ask you to get is the one called Lactic acid, it is the first intimate wash in the world. most other ones in the market contain citric acid which is not good for intimate area. Lawash has lactic acid, and other ingredients that put it ahead of others. if you have being using them, try LAWASH and you will see the difference.
Health / Info On Intimate Care by stainny: 3:26pm On Oct 25, 2014
Hello Ladies, how do you take care of your Vagina? I hope you know that it is not good to use your bathing soap to do so. As your shampoo is for hair, soap is for body, there should be special soap/liquid for vagina. Our V area is sensitive and we should not use soap meant for our skin to wash our inner part. There may be alot of ‘INTIMATE’ wash products in the market, but all you need to know is that ones that are good for you.
Have you heard about LAWASH? A product being marketed by Greenlife Pharmaceutical ltd. If you have being using other intimate wash products, please do try LAWASH and you will see the difference. It clears odour, removes itching and other vagina infections. And if you have not been using it, it is time you start taking care of your vagina in a proper way. Pick a park of Lawash and you won’t regret it. A park of 100ml is N450 and that of 225ml is N800 for now. Go to pharmacy shops, supermarkets and patent shops around you to pick a park. Or you call me on 08034088860

Hello Nairalanders, please help me confirm this o
Please if you are a graduating student /graduated from Abia state University, please I need you to confirm this. A news has it that for a graduating student to compile his/her result, and be able to be forwarded for youth service, each students needs to pay not less than fifty thousand naira (N50,000) to the lecturers to compile and send the result to exams and records while the students graduating with first class are meant to pay higher to the tune of fifty to seventy thousand naira each. I find it difficult to believe, so please I need confirmation especially from students graduating from that school this year. Also I want to know if last batch that went for service did the same. Thirdly, is it true that students there don’t even see /know their results from year one till their graduating year?

Hmm, great sacrifice indeed! You did that for a "boy friend", then who can imagine more things you can do for a real husband. Just learn your lesson from this and forget the guy and move ahead. Only a stupid guy will come back into that relationship. it is not even justifiable to do it to save a life of a husband talk-less of a common boy firend. Please Girls learn from this.
