Abagworo honestly your logic is upside down again as always. This is the point Chino11 keeps making about you, and I see it, just that I try to take it easy with you because of sane brothers from Imo state.

Did you see any Igbo condemning this and calling for Biafra on this thread? Aren't those calling for Biafra sharing your views that it serves Ndigbo right? Did you see any of them say they want to keep Lagos and still want to secede?
Isn't this a figment of your imagination as usual?
Why are you so cowardly that you can NEVER stand up against injustice meted out against Ndigbo by Yoruba people?
What are you afraid of BTW? Is your native doctor from Ijebu or what.
Nwanne onye mere gi ihe a?
Tufiakwa!

I told you that I am a far more convinced one Nigerianist than you can ever be because I understand it and gain from it more than you.
Now you are calling for Umu Igbo to stop investing in other parts of Nigeria. Which kain one Nigerianist are you?
You condemn people for living in their own country and hustling in it.
Tomorrow when they start kidnapping you, you run to Port Harcourt.
Are you from Rivers state? Why do you live there?

As from today, you must stop mentioning Anambra state with your cowardly mouth.

ndu_chucks: Section 35 (6) of our Constitution:

Any person who is unlawfully arrested or detained shall be entitled to compensation and public apology from the appropriate authority or person; and in this subsection, "the appropriate authority or person" means an authority or person specified by law.

The transportation and deportation of these Nigerian citizens constitute minimally, unlawful detention. Fashola and Lagos state must compensate these people and offer them a public apology as required by the constitution.

logica: So to seek to withdraw a case means it has been deemed illegal? I can't quite catch your flow...break it down to me slowly.

BLAH BLAH...

For all those you who have suddenly turned to lawyers and suddenly gained a PhD in Constitutional Law immediately you saw the report, I will implore you to go and read up because there have been precedence for relocation and movement of miscreants even within a political and economic union.

babe_online:
you said Yorubas perpetrate crime in other states...ven if they do you still cant compare it to that of the Igbos. NOT ONE BIT!(and you know its true)
And hell yeah I graduated from Primary school. Not everyone is like you and your brothers especially those in Alaba market in Lagos.

I think it was Prof. Wole Soyinka that said and l quote:
"Bravery is not encountered in the recklessness of utterance or of action, but in a methodical assessment of any situation where, even if the odds appear to be against one, and the risks seem overwhelming, a choice is still made that embraces the inherent dangers in the pursuit of that reasoned objective". ... Wole Soyinka, 2006.

That the Igbo "sacrificed" 2-million of their sons just to prove they are BRAVE and SERIOUS can only be judged when we ask them: ..And what was the result? What did you achieve at the end?
Only a foolish lot can boast of sacrificing 2,000,000 foolish lives, just for NOTHING!
Intelligent people THINK FIRST, before ACTING

Even Ojukwu took to his heels and ran to Ivory Coast, leaving another 500,000 "sacrificial lambs" to their fate!

Unfortunately (and l've always said this), Yorubas are to intelligent and full of wisdom, not to be able to distinguish between what Prof Soyinka called "recklessness of action and utterance" on one hand, and "methodical assessment of the situation" on the other hand.

Every Igbo must make that Quote of Prof. Wole Soyinka, his "Daily Manna and daily Bible study".

As much as l would preach Unity and respect for fellow Brothers, from any part of the country, if every state wants to do what Fashola has done, then so be it.

Just ensure that it is the JOBLESS "foreign" DESTITUTES who contribute Nadda to your state,... that are deported back to Lagos.
Dont turn it to a witch-hunting exercise because again, using wisdom, you will realize that "Lagos has so much more "foreigners" to witch-hunt, if that game is to be played-out.

Instead of beefing Lagos, hold your Governors accountable.
*Is it Fashola' problem (or Lagos State) that 90% of the Roads in the East are not motorable? Please lets just be honest for once.
Fashola rehabilitated a few roads in Lagos (Herbert macaulay, Muritala Muhammed, LUTH area, Ojuelegba, e.t.c).
He is currently working on Ikorodu axis, Badagry Axis, even fed Govt road at Oshodi/Mile 2 axis

Where are the roads that Governors from the East rehabilitated ...or dont they also collect their own allocation and taxes?
Dont give me that "historical bull-shyte excuse about how Lagos was developed in the 60's".
From Jakande (except Thief-nubu) to Fashola, Lagos has been blessed with Yoruba Governors who "stole MUCH but developed the state a LITTLE.

The rest of Nigeria (especially Eastern states) have been blessed with "Criminal-Governors" who stole MUCH but developed Nothing. That is why the East is becoming uninhabitable for Igbos!
Thus, everybody is trooping to Lagos!

But what are you going to do about your Governors who loot your patrimony and use it to buy houses abroad, Private Jets (Even fashola, as rich as Lagos is must not dream of Private jet! Walahi, he go see red!) and send their numerous Girl friends on shopping spree.
Direct your "righteous anger" at your real enemy!
Stop chasing 'Ringworm', while your head is infested with 'Leprosy'! (Yoruba adage)

But you are ALL welcome to Lagos ... if you can get something productive to do! .... just like millions of Igbo doing business and making money at Aspamda, Ojoo, Alaba, Idumota, Ladipo, Sanya, Orile, Oshodi, e.t.c

Dont come to Lagos to become Ritualist, Armed Robbers, Kidnappers, petty thief or just a nuisance and burden to Lagosians.

This is a no-brainer, Its not about constitution, not even about 'reckless bravado', its about common-sense.
Use Wisdom please.

Caveat: I am proudly Yoruba, no shaking!

babe_online:
Igbos hate to hear the truth even when its from a brother. What Agbagoro said is the truth. Igbos are two mouthed!...are you a Nigerian or a Biafran??

Dudu_Negro:

We leave other cities undeveloped to stop your migration into them and bring along your social risks.

debetmx: Going through this thread, I am particularly shocked at what some of my fellow Yoruba brothers and sisters have posted. How can any rational and sane person defend the actions of the Lagos State Government (fashola) and believe one of the first things we were thought is to show empathy to our neighbours. If I may ask, must we turn any incident that occurs into a tribal war? The action of fashola is totally condemnable. How can you deport someone in his own country? I just can wrap my head around it.I also see the so called useless task force arresting people selling in traffic who are trying to eke out an honest living. Many of them have been killed trying to escape from the clutches of KAI officers yet instead of us expending our energies criticizing the activities of this people and LASG, we come here and call each other names. If I may ask what is Mega about Lagos? I am more surprised that a "SAN" could take the laws into his own hands.We say some people are criminals, aren't there criminals amongst we the Yorubas? There are many agberos and touts who are not from Lagos and they have not been deported so what are saying. It is the responsibility of the Government to safeguard lives and properties.

@ igbo-son, like I called you in a previous post, "You are a lost and irredeemable soul". What is the correlation between Awolowo and the actions of fashola? I just hope that you don't suffer a hypertension because of this man soon.

coastal queen:

lol you fearful slowpoke. since they moved the capital to abuja, how far has lagos gone? with all the taxes lagos state collects your governor has not been able to make lagos a mega city, your governor is investing heavily in other countries with all the taxes. The riches of lagos state is artificial and if they try to send other tribes packing, what would you guys be left with? Don't worry, Ijebu garri sells well like gold. SHIOR!

lizzylizzy: Hmmm, this not being tribalistic at all. Really something has to be done fast the way other part of the country wants to lay claim over Lagos state especially Ibos.
It was about 3 yrs ago i noticed this, I hardly go to mile 2, Festac, Iyana- Iba –okoko , Cele area ,so i was there to run a programme in that area for a period mehn ! the Igbos have taken over all those areas.
Now come to island, i was shocked when i was trying to move to island and get accommodation .Dolphin Igbos full there, VGC they all over there and lekki too i know very soon. You know with all their shady business in making money, the desperado in making money any which way.
Igbo’s keep multiplying ,you see a typical Ibo family 7 – 9 children even the educated ones among them ,the Yoruba’s that they claim do have plenty wives which was even in olden days doesn’t breed children like that, even my grandfather with all his 3 wives had only five children. The Yoruba Muslims that are even entitle to more than 1 wife are even keeping a moderate family ,meanwhile these Ibos fleeing to other part of the country will go there vomiting children and increasing the population anyhow.
Imagine Chukwudu will come to Lagos; later bring his siblings and all their extended family my brother, my brother thing they say. Also Chinyere –like that………….
And mind you it is not only Lagos go to Ogun, Oyo, and Osun you will find them everywhere. So, Fashola has not really done bad at least for now till when FG / other states wake up to their responsibilities ,what he just need to be doing is to hand them over to their governors .

And those claiming that there are tens of thousands of Yoruba people working in the SE / SS especially oil and gas. They are gainfully employed there because of their intellect and if want them back please send them away. You will come back looking for them and employ them as your expatriates then.

Eko o ni baje and long live Nigeria!

babe_online:
Igbos will soon need that whenever they carry their Biafran heads and come to the developed SW.

coastal queen:
My region is developed o. without fed govt aid. i have a lovely mall i can goto, cool chill out spots and then finally relax in my father's mansion now tell me, do u have any of these in other yoruba states that were not jointly developed by other Nigerians?

me_for_you: Was Lagos not developed by the igbos?
Read 'There was a country' and see that there's a big problem with this country called nigeria.
a nigerian expelling nigerians from their places of abode in nigeria. fashola is not a SAN, he is a NAS

collynzo2: Developed south west? Outside Lagos no south west state can be compared to Enugu or even Imo state. Na wa from u o!

achi4u: Fashola is somhow biting the fingers that are feeding him and his lousy/lazy uchiins.

I foresee Lagos enconomy collapsing within a very short time.

Niyinficient:
Abeg, shut up jor! U whr u don go for SW? If all South Eastern states are like lagos y den do pple come to Lagos?? abeg enuf of this tribalism, we are all Nigerians!

Onlytruth:

Professor of English language, we use "deportation" in this case because of the INTENT of the governor of Lagos, which is demonstrated by his choice of Onitsha -the BORDER POINT OF defunct Biafra.
Else, pray tell us, is Onitsha the home city, or Anambra the state of the DEPORTEES?

I'm sure you and Fashola as usual think yourselves smart and smooth that you assume others can't figure your intentions.

But I have an Igbo saying for you, "ukwu na aga warawara, anya na aga warawara na ahu ya" -the leg that walks by strange steps are also closely monitored by eyes that see strange things.

babe_online:
I am not ''fearful''. I was simply replying you. Not everyone is Igbo, okay?
You are talking. Abuja is just over-hyped by people that do not know anything about the place. I lived there for 14 years so I know what it is about.
All they do in Abuja is share money that belongs to you, me, and others.
If I was you I will be applauding Fashola for what he has done instead of barking like the Igbo you are. *rolls eyes* TYPICAL!
If you want Nigeria to grow and develop just as I want to then you wont be complaining(people from my state have been depoted too and I did not yapp).
If the riches of lagos is superficial, how come its the best city to do business in, in Nigeria?
For Nigeria to grow and develop we must all endure certain things that we may find annoying.
