Otseh: @ samunique, are destitudes not nigerians? don't they have right to live in any part of the country? what the governors shld do is to rehabilitate them not send them away. they are in those places because they can not help themselves, so govt shld help them.

Otseh: don't misunderstand me too, i said very soon from destitudes it will be anybody. it happened before when Lucky Igbinenedion sacked all workers that were not from edo state.

homesteady: Ok Let every state start sending back non indigene's to their various states na! Mtcheeew

Otseh: why can't nigeria be one? what is indigenes and non indigenes in the same country? i thought every nigerian has right to live in any part of the country of their choice, so why this repatration of non indigenes to their state? the one Fashola did has not settled, rivers followed. very soon, even normal people will be asked to go to their states. Another problem is on the way. GEJ shld act fast to stop this madness. many of us take citizenship of foreing countries but we are illegal allens in our own country.

Manlado: Our problem is predicated on a faulty constitution.

Citizenship..
State of origin
Local government of origin
Family yard or family of origin.

In the end, even those who were born and raised 10000 miles from there greatgrand father's village are associated forever.

Thinking that this would change merely by staying in a location forever would change that. Will be wrong.


Redefine what makes us Nigerians and abolish all these origin wahala, then we can move forward to address issues that affect mankind.

Dr Bukola Saraki, the immediate past governor of Kwara state had on December 7, 2006, signed into law, the bill prohibiting street begging in the state.

In the FCT Street begging, trading and prostitution are prohibited under the AEPB Act of 1997 Section 35.

conducting oneself in a manner likely to cause breach of public peace and collection of illegal dues from persons is an offence punishable under section 2 of the Illegal Collection of dues in public place law of Lagos State 2013.

Chime said 'begging is an offence against God and the law,' The governor told his audience that measures had been put in place to rid the streets of Enugu of the destitute.
He lamented the increase in street begging resulting from the influx of people into the state, noting that the law banning the practice was still in force.

Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi has revealed the intention of his administration to hit hard against street begging, saying it has become an embarrassment to the state government. He thus warned that the street beggars must begin to either take advantage of the opportunity provided by the government or to move out of the state, as anyone arrested would face the law.

jason123:



Since we don't have Igbo beggars, according to only truth and co; who exactly are these beggars from "neighboring" states? Hmmm.....

jason123:



IMO and Abia ....lol...it's time to go home. Although I love IMO peeps. It's those anambrans I want chased away

Nebeuwa: Of course Amaechi would follow Fashola.

Both are equally wrong.

Because Lagos did it, does it make it right? No.

Because Rivers state did it, does it make it right? No.

Still On Kid Beggars

Plastic bowls in hand, often chanting diverse shades of songs, growing number of kid beggars are roaming the streets of Port Harcourt in a manner that bothers residents of the Garden City. The number of child beggars has increased over the years with the bulk of them found at various locations in Port Harcourt.

At the inception of his administration on October 25, 2007, the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, was seen arresting beggars on our roads and streets, sending them to rehabilitation camps. But observers say the project has failed because the government has not taken it seriously after then, hence beggars and their children have re-flooded the streets.

veraponpo:

Fashola is a brilliant man that will never do anything illegal but our Igbo brothers & sisters have victim-reasoning mentality. Always claim to have suffered when nothing has happened. when the destitutes were sent to Oyo and Ogun states in 2011 my Igbo brothers said nice one, when Akwa Ibom sent 2 mentally derailed people to Lagos no complaint but when Lagos sent few miscreants out of over 4 million Igbos in lagos, they started crying.

ALWAYS LOOK FOR WHO TO BLAME FOR THEIR PROBLEMS

Nebeuwa: Of course Amaechi would follow Fashola.

Both are equally wrong.

Because Lagos did it, does it make it right? No.

Because Rivers state did it, does it make it right? No.

Bobby4090: Fashola did not do his own with dignity. First of all he collected people from different states and dumped them in Anambra. And why dump them by 3am in the morning knowing fully well that the defenceless deportees could be attacked by criminals at that wee hour.

And why people got angry with Fashola is that after that, he thought he could shut up the ibos by refering to them as immigrants and threatning to seize their properties in Lagos. If not what does he Fashola mean by refering to ibos as "guests" who should not quarrel with their "hosts". There are ibos who were born in lagos. There are ibos whose grandfathers were born in Lagos and should be accorded the same right as a Tinubu whose parents are from Osun state.
They are not guests...They are Lagos-ibos.

What did Fashola mean by telling ibos that "there is a lot at stake here". Is he trying to remind the ibos that their properties and markets are much here so that they should be carefull or else it will be seized? Thats a most irresponsible statement. Very reckless in nature. The day he has that thought is the day he will go the ways of his old man who just left.

The world is watching and waiting. If the likes of Fashola and his supporters feel ibos are not welcome in Lagos then they should have kept neutral in the civil war (rather than use Awolowos starvation policy) so that the ibos will deal adequately with the Hausa which am sure was very possible. Now that they entered the war to keep Nigeria one...there is no going back. Ibos will remain in Lagos to flourish. End of Story!

Mr Aboki: Please let them deport all those Abokis at D-line and Borokiri.

All the Imo State People in Rivers State as well, especially those at the International Airport.

All those Fulani beggers with their children from Waterlines and Aba Road.

All those Yoruba Taxi Drivers and their crappy cars..
