Everybody hates beggars: Niger state to start repatriating street beggars to their states of origin



While Nigerians continue to condemn the situation where citizens are forcefully evicted from their states of residence to their states of origin, simply because the state governments consider them to be “destitute”, the governments don’t even seem to be listening, as they continue unrestrained in their conduct.

The latest is Niger state, whose commissioner for justice and attorney general, Barrister Abdullahi Bawa Wuse, said on Thursday, that the state will soon begin repatriating street beggars to their states of origin. He said all that’s delaying the move now is for an executive bill on the regulation of street begging and rehabilitation of beggars which is currently before the House of Assembly to be passed by the lawmakers.

The commissioner, while briefing newsmen after the state executive council meeting in Minna, said the new bill is aimed at taking beggars off the streets.

According to him, the bill also includes a provision for the setting up of rehabilitation centres for beggars and creating areas where people can go and give alms so as to be able to meet up with some of their religious obligations.

Afam4eva: I guess this is the latest trend and more states will continue in the show of shame. Very soon it will be extended to non-beggars. One NIgeria.

I havent commented on nairaland for years, because I believed it went to the dogs the day someone as shameless and partisan as you became a MOD. The only reason people like you started condeming this act was simply because Fashola, a Yoruba governor did it. You never for once said anything critical about this trend when until it affected the Ibos. You are a disgrace to even exist on this fora. Kindly delete my post for all you care or refrain my posting privleged. And to Seun, see your life. See how your adverts keep increase to zero! Shame.

I condemned the governor of Abia state when he did something relative. You can check my post history. The reason why Fashola's own was more pronounced is because he's the governor of the most important state in Nigeria. I condemned Fashola's action from a constitutionally point of view and not from a tribal prism like a lot of people did and i will continue to condemn any state governor that carries out similar actions because it's not in tandem with the laws of the land.

What makes it unconstitutional? Is there a court pronouncement on this already or ur reasoning which obviously is skewed.
