You are so smart, intelligent, brave etc

Lol. Why did you have to put up your photo? I think I have seen you at Opebi Round-about late hour before.

Wow, so if your poor and broke, you can be deported in Nigeria to your state of origin, how about the rich people from that same state as the deported ones who are investing and creating jobs in Lagos, even India is smarter than us, I have never seen something like this before, Maybe Nigeria should practice con-federalism instead federalism where the states will have more power to set up their immigration system, I remember Ojukwu demanded a con-federation for Nigeria during the Aburi accord just before the Nigerian civil war, now I know why the Nigerian capital was moved from Lagos to Abuja.

coogar:

if an average igbo man is smart, they would stay in their states and develop their land. they would not be encroaching other states to sleep under the bridge.

what's the future of the coming generations of igbo kids? the SE states would soon become forests as all the igbos continue to migrate to the SW to eke a living.

which SW? stop mentioning SW, but lagos. because as i told you earlier there is no real ibo man in those rural towns you mentioned outside lagos. my problem with yourobas is that they don't travel. ibos use lagos port to make money while their families and mansions are in the east. i used to have this your type of mentality until i traveled to onitsha and enugu. they are far more developed and organized. they only use the north and SW as commercial battle field afterwards they will push the money to the east. we did haulage for ibeto alot, i went to his house in nnewi, i was ashamed of being a northerner. ibos are smart than you, take or leave it.

Ninapha: The truth we say today wd set us free tomorrow. What fashola did is sabotage against his oath of office. I pray fashola reaps what he sows today in this case.
He maybe the governor today, let him not forget his legacy wd live after him and who knows a Pharoh who does not know his Joseph may come on the throne tomorrow.

My igbo ppl, pls stop investing in other states, we hv paid our dues to the nigeian nation, let build igbo nation and stop ingrates from fraustrating our economy.

The Anambra state government has issued a warning to all
street beggars, especially children used by their parents to
beg for alms, to vacate the streets or be arrested.

29 of such women who displayed their children as strategy
for getting alms have already been arrested in Awka and
Onitsha, and repatriated to their home states; Ebonyi and
Akwa Ibom states.

The state commissioner for Women Affairs and Social
Development, Dr. Ego Cordelia Uzoezie, disclosed Friday in
Awka when a middle-aged woman was arrested for begging
with nine children at various points in Awka.

Uzoezie said her attention was drawn to the spectacle when
one of the children who begged at the Unizik junction, Awka,
six-year-old Goodnews Sunday, was hit in the jaw by an
Okada rider, while he begged
.
Uzoezie decried the attitude of some parents who used their
children to beg for alms, and warned that after 72 hours any
beggar seen in the state would be arrested by the law
enforcement agents and the special task force of the ministry
of women affairs and social development.

you must be smoking your own pubic hair...
the igbos in Ibadan, osogbo and abeokuta outnumber the most populous igbo state in the SE? are you high on pawpaw leaves? which village is devoid of the igbos in nigeria? they don't stay in their states, the soil is not good for agriculture and the cities are largely underdeveloped!

they are far more developed and organized. they only use the north and SW as commercial battle field afterwards they will push the money to the east. we did haulage for ibeto alot, i went to his house in nnewi, i was ashamed of being a northerner. ibos are smart, take or leave it.

igbo states are the least developed in nigeria. they have nothing. their governors are playing with the advantage that a chunky fraction of their citizens are not even residents of the state!

Obiagu1: Facts:
1. Communication was made between both Lagos and Anambra State governments.
2. Number of persons involved were 14.
3. No date was set for the repatriation or arrangement concluded.
4. Over 70 persons were dumped at bridgehead, Onitsha, their alleged family homes.
5. They were dumped in the middle of the night with no one there to receive them.
6. A crime was committed by Lagos State government against the citizens of Nigeria.

If you support the deportation of persons in the middle of the night many of whom are not from Anambra State, leaving them to their own fate, then I put a curse on you. Let the government of whichever country you are living in arrest, maltreat, torture and send you back to Nigeria for no reason. Amen.

Amen.... Let whoever that's in support of this inhuman act from Lagos state, on these helpless Nigerians. May you all go through the same situation.

awolowo had turned lagos to los angeles whilst the leaders of the other regions were faffing around. the western region were far ahead in terms of development and civilization. keep spewing nonsense from your mouth - if onitsha/enugu are developed, why are the igbos scared to stay in their own states? why would any igbo man leave his mansion in the east to sleep in the dirty ajegunle in lagos?

does that make sense to you?

which awoa turned lagos to what? you people are still thinking like most of people in the north. until i left niger state i thought the ibos are not coming from the bush. until i got to the east my mentality changed. these people are the one using us all. my friend reason. lagos was a former capital of nigeria and youroba leaders did nothing to make or mar its development. if there are any group that made lagos what it is today it is the fg, hausas, ibos and presently the ijaws/urobos due to oil. as for dirty areas, we all know that it is yourobas that are more in dirty and crowded part of lagos. ibos are smarter they have bought many parts of ikoyi, vi, etc.

we are not known to be beggers like other tribes in nigeria, igbos are very hard working ppl who like good life. iam not saying you can't find igbo begger on the street of nigeria, however the percentage will be very minimal an average igbo man is a trader by nature i dont know if you know this although i dont know your age. pls get me right sir thanx

We know its a lie....it's those Ibos that have never step a foot into Lagos that keep saying such....

They are 70% of VGC

They are 80% of Lekki

They Own 99% of Festac

They own 70% of Osborne and Parkview

These ones here just say it the way their destitute brothers and sisters in Lagos go back to tell them in December...

Mr "gullible, sheepish nd silly" xo we finally agreed on something... Loool

MAHSSOBs: Why are Ibos afraid of returning home?

I swear this is the 1billion dollar question. Is the south east that bad that they rather die in the north or live under the bridge in the west than return there?

quarashi: So now Igbos took the fight from Hausaland to Yorubaland? You people should mobilize FG to quickly negotiate with ASUU so that you can return to FACE your BOOKS. How is it possible that you forgot that the same Fashola deported more than one thousand Hausas via trailers back to North? If you really want your people to return and develop your "abandoned" land, then you should be happy with Fashola for helping you with the task! It is really sad that we hardly have any common priority to press home.

fashola deported niger republic ppl and chadians not core nigeria housa ok .

superstar1:

You are just an irritant nonentity , attention seeking and attention deprived personality.

We do not have your time.

i will keep coming out with the truth. that is the whole essence.

The Abia State government last year came up with an ingenious policy. All non-indigenous employees in the state public service, including teachers, were to be relieved of their duties because the government’s resources were meant for the indigenes. Over 80% of the people affected are from Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu states. Most leaders maintained a conspiracy of silence on this policy which for long will remain one of the greatest impediments to Igbo unity. Abia State was actually treading the path of the Enugu State government which had in the late 1990s decided to sack all non-indigenes in the state’s public service in order to “save resources”. Almost every casualty is Igbo.



But a number of Igbo social activists have now suddenly found their voice. The overnight activists have created an unmistakable mass hysteria in both the social media and the traditional media over the bogey that Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has been “deporting” Igbo people from the state. Some politicians who are determined to make political capital out of the so-called repatriations have been busy simulating the hysteria. But perhaps, unbeknownst to these people, they are hurting in a most profound manner strategic Igbo interests. No people can survive—let alone—progress on a diet of lies and emotions, or by allowing politicians to create and sustain a culture of paranoia or siege mentality, otherwise called persecution complex.



The Lagos State government launched a few year ago an ambitious project to turn Lagos, Nigeria’s economic nerve centre with a population of some 16million, into a true mega city. This entailed, among other things, the enthronement of a new social order and a different aesthetic regime. Consequently, the state began to clear thousands of homeless people, beggars and urchins from the streets. Thus, a large number of “area boys” who are mostly Lagos Island indigenes, like the governor, are to this day still arrested and hounded into “Black Baria” trucks by Kick Against Indiscipline (KIA) officials. Borrowing a leaf from such places as New York and Hawaii, Lagos initiated a programme of returning many destitute individuals to their home states. Over 3,000 of such people have been relocated back to northern states where they have now been reintegrated with their families. When about 80 were sent to Oyo State in November, 2009, the governor screamed to the high heavens that “they were dumped on Molete “Bridge” in Ibadan.



About 14 destitute people from Anambra State were sent to Onitsha last week because of the failure of the State’s Ministry of Social Welfare to arrange for the arrival of these people , unlike those of Akwa Ibom and Katsina states which made proper logistic arrangements for their own people. A section of the media has since gone to town with the extremely dangerous propaganda that the Lagos State governor is driving Igbo people out of Lagos through “brazen deportations and repatriations”. Even professionals and scholars expected to be more thoughtful and strategic in their actions have capitulated so easily to the mind poisoning reports and have been responding exuberantly. A man who introduced himself as a professor from Nnewi called me on the phone on Thursday morning to assert with so much authority that “only Anambra indigenes are being targeted for expulsion from Lagos because all Nigerians know that Anambra is the leader of the Igbo nation”. A lawyer in Maryland, United States, wrote that Fashola dare not relocate beggars of northern extraction, alleging that the Igbo are the whipping boy of Nigerian politics. He is blissfully ignorant of the thousands of northern beggars taken away from Borno Street in Ebute Metta and environs.



How did the industrious, highly republican and intelligent Igbo people embrace, all of a sudden, this level of groupthink that has made us look like a people with unimaginable amnesia? Only last month, a very big plaza in Olodi, Apapa, belonging to Igbo entrepreneurs and housing hundreds of 1gbo traders was burnt at night. The next day Fashola was at the site and promised to rebuild it at the Lagos State expense. No Igbo governor has visited the place up to this moment, and none has promised to assist the victims. Last December, Ngozi Nwosu, an actress, was reported to be down with a serious liver ailment, so an appeal fund was launched. No Southeast government, including her home state of Imo State, responded, just as no wealthy Igbo men and women did. Only N1.5million out of 6m needed for treatment in the United kingdom, could be raised. Fashola provided the remaining N4.5m. And now some so-called Igbo activists are accusing him of anti-Igbo sentiments.



Two months ago, Fashola completed the biggest housing estate he has built and named it for Emeka Anyaoku, an erstwhile Commonwealth secretary general from Anambra State. At a time some Igbo people cannot be hired as teachers or civil servants in Southeastern states other those of those of their origin, Fashola recruits them in large numbers, with some becoming judges and magistrates. His Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ben Akabueze, is from the Southeast. The chief executive of the state Infrastructure Maintenance and Regulatory Agency, Joe Igbokwe, is an engineer and publisher from Nnewi. Mac Duruigbo, from Imo State, is Fashola’s Personal Assistant on the Media.



Fashola gave Ikemba Nnewi practically a state burial last year in Lagos, the only non-Southeast governor to accord the famous Biafran leader this high honour. He was the only governor who attended last March the Chinua Achebe colloquium at Brown University in Rhode Island, United States, where he praised Achebe for his monumental achievements at a time the great writer was the butt of criticism by the Yoruba political establishment following Achebe’s unflattering remarks about Obafemi Awolowo in his new book, There Was A Country, a personal account of the Nigerian civil war. So, how did some of us come about the brainwave that the dynamic and cosmopolitan Lagos State governor is anti-Igbo? Simply because his government relocated some Igbo elements to their home state, some of whom came to Lagos to do business but instead took to hard drug consumption and became urchin, better known as “area boys”! Interestingly when Fashola began to crack down on “area boys”, most of whom are from his state, Igbo traders were over the moon, rejoicing that the governor had saved them from the miscreants of “area boys” who had for decades been tormenting the traders daily, extorting huge sums from them and viciously assailing those who refused with dangerous weapons.



There are more Igbo people in Lagos than any other state. There are so many investments in Lagos because Lagos has for long welcomed the Igbo people, enabling NdIgbo to prosper in Lagos more than any other state. And no governor in Nigeria’s history has demonstrated as much affection to our people as Fashola. Commonsense dictates we protect in a strategic manner the interests of our people and reciprocate the friendship of well meaning individuals and groups. It will be a colossal tragedy if we savour the dishes of salacious lies and terrible propaganda which we are being served by opportunistic politicians and garnished by hysterical Igbo social activists. We must be guided at all times by truth and reason.
