SAURON,
I REPEAT LET LAGOS, WHICH DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY OIL, STOP COLLECTING OIL ALLOCATION AND LETS SEE HOW FAR IT SURVIVES. PLUS ALL THOSE REVENUE ARE COMING FROM YORUBA PEOPLE IN LAGOS? YOUR BOASTING IS VACOUS.

Which stupid oil allocation are you talking about?
Do you know how much Lagos state cop as revenue every single day?
Import n duties, Shipping, Transportaion, Housing, etc? U better shut up before i expose your folly here.

oyinda.:

of course major cities will always attract people from all states. that is the same with most other countries even in the western world. and it's part of the normal disadvantages to a big city.
what would you think if america deported all the black ghetto people to nigeria? they are an eyesore and unproductive for the west not so?
or if they sent them packing from other major cities to the south missisippi and what not?

US has the resources to have alternative approaches. Lagos does not and is suffering under the overcrowding, this is expedient and harmless. The whole human right angle is just ideology. Ideology should not hold progress back.

Once Lagos develops and is well managed, then they can come back and it will have the resources to take care of them. They should not sink Lagos with them.


oyinda.:

and of course aren't most northerners in lagos doing something like maigard, shoemaker, aboki etc?
and you saying "some volume of beggars ok" makes it clear that you know this isn't right and very unconstitutional.  

That is why it is not tribalistic, as the productive ones are not being deported. Unproductive Yorubas are also being deported.

It is likely to be unconstitutional but it is expedient. The Sharia states are also unconstitutional, we got on with life didn't we?

oyinda.:

lol at it won't lead to ethnic clashes. i don't mean burning mosques and churches and all that. just worse ethnic tension between hausas and yorubas in general. yorubas have mainained a somewhat neutral position in all these ethnic brouhaha so far but this is just bound to turn things around and can serve as a fuel or wood to a bigger fire that might arise later on. because i don't think they will forget this (even if they do cater for the beggars that have been sent to them).  


Not really.

I think they will see sense when they see that the maigards are there to stay and the northerners in Ikoyi are enjoying their lives.

It will probably inspire them to make sure it is not their people being so destitute they are an eyesore.

Fashola is not from Lagos state either

Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) is a descendant of the patriarch of the Fashola family, Alfa Bello Fashola of Princess Street in Isale Gangan, Lagos.

On the Fashola family tree, he is the great grandson of Bello Fashola, a philanthropist and a very close friend of Esugbayi Eleko, who contributed morally and financially to the struggle to return Esugbayi Eleko to Lagos after the Oba's banishment from his kingdom by the then colonial government.
His historical antecedent spans over five generations

Did Lagos stop functioning when Igbos left Lagos in the wake of June 12 crisis?
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Jaylon(m): 12:45am On Aug 24, 2009
i think osisi and afaukwu are just mad because igbos are part of those evicted.

if igbos were not evicted, they won't give a damn about others including the hausas

Where did i in my post strongly support the beggars?Why the cursing on me?
Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Beaf: 12:47am On Aug 24, 2009
oyinda: either way lagos loses out. plus evicting the poorer people won't stop more poor people from coming into the state. it's called equilibrium. most cities always have their fair share of poor people. especially ones in africa.
evicting them will cause more to come in, and also cause others to hate the state, the cost for evicting this people isn't free either. so what has lagos gained in the process?

You are right, but the truth is Nigerians habor a lot of hatred for each other. All of this is just adding to an already tense situation.

My "spanner in the works" is, what happens to beggers who are from Lagos? I wonder if Fashola is going to jail them.

Sagamite:

Constant eviction and fear of it by the state government will still mean they would lose revenue for each return journey and it would not allow them to be able to forecast or project likely revenues for the year as the eviction would be random.
They would most likely like a steady and undisturbed life and likely head for a place like Kano.

Oh come on!!! You speak of these beggars as if they are some sophisticated mafia. We are speaking of people who mostly know nothing, but to beg for a living. The most sophisticated ones among them have maybe figured that turning it into a business of some sort would help them bring in more more at the end of the day. The houses they own in their villages were built with money obtained from begging. The wives married with money obtained from begging. Suddenly, you expect them to give all that up because of some cockamamie fear of being evicted if they go back? They have never really been welcome in Lagos and have long been considered a nuisance in the state. Deportation is now the solution?

What about the potential consequences of this action by the state? What if the nimrods in the north decide to pester yoruba poor in their states in retaliation? And as someone already asked, what happens to the beggars who claim to be from Lagos state? Do they get Jailed or taken care of by the state then?

I cannot believe I am having this discussion about  Lagos beggars ooO!!! Roflmao!!

Re: Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers by Sagamite(m): 12:51am On Aug 24, 2009
oyinda.:


so you think that if there were 500 beggars and 480 of them were evited, the 20 left won't be making more money than if there were still 500?
and you think others who are poor won't be encouraged to join in to supplement their income?

Yes, the 20 would see a growth in their revenue but I do not think, according to your economics laws, you would see 300 or so new market entrants to fill the gap in the market.  grin

Most other poor in Nigeria try to work for their money as they are not nurtured to depend solely on begging. So I do not envisage a situation where they would drop their day job for the growth market of begging under the threat of state eviction.

you make no sense whatsover. this idea of yours is very racist and tribalistic
who said US has the resources? have you been into an american ghetto? why didn't they deport african americans after hurricane katrina when there were no resources?

so you would support a racist ideology if it means more food for you? so by the same thought process, you will also support corruption and theft if it means more food for the criminal.
"ideology and morals shouldn't hold progress back." listen to yourself

"once lagos develops they can come back"
question is WHO ARE LAGOSIANS? who then has the right to remain in lagos? only rich people? didn't u just say that some poor yoruba beggars were also deported to ibadan

see how you make no sense?



That is why it is not tribalistic, as the productive ones are not being deported. Unproductive Yorubas are also being deported.

lol. and racist social darwinists are not racist either.  

It is likely to be unconstitutional but it is expedient. The Sharia states are also unconstitutional, we got on with life didn't we?

so you support sharia too?



Not really.

I think they will see sense when they see that the maigards are there to stay and the northerners in Ikoyi are enjoying their lives.

It will probably inspire them to make sure it is not their people being so destitute they are an eyesore.

I don't think the people are comparing their lives to maigards and alhajis like babangida. they are more concerned with themselves and their families and that's one of the reason they moved to lagos in the first place. just that it's a world where some turn out successful and others not so much.
