Beggars from Lagos should be catered for by Lagos government.

what defines beggar from lagos?
plus the constitution should have to make a provision for that before the govt start taking action anyways.

if nigeria was a real country that is. now we're just a mess and our people (rich and poor) are a mess.

some of the beggars didn't ask to be unfortunate and poor. what is wrong if Mr. Fashola build a place to house them instead of deporting them? it is abt time Nigerians learn how to take care of the less fortunate in their midst. they should stay in Lagos where they have been calling home.

may God bless the poor beggars.

Nobody is scared of Fashola, we are just tired of Hypocrisy from the WEST.

ONE Nigeria when it is convenient and re-inventing the constitution when it suits you.

Fashola is the governor of Lagos state and he can do wateva je pleases with the state. if you dont like it, stay in your state. cool

Did "your father" heed that advice and stay in his state?

Lagos is a state in Nigeria and not a sovereign state within Nigeria

Now why are the igbos taking pandol for other people headache undecided

Are u scared fashola will send all the spare part seller back to where they came from? grin cheesy

That's the fear.

oyinda.:

i wasn't referring to you. read the quote that i was responding to before jumping into an argument.
he was talking about productive people versus unproductive people.
if you were crippled with your legs cut off i don't think you would be here on nairaland. or counting yourself among the productive people.

In my opinion the armed robbers and kidnappers that are rampant in lagos are more dangerous than these crippled beggars, women and children. why isn't fashola going after those people?

You see how you shoot yourself in order to sound reasonable? For your information I have a disability and I'm here on Nairaland, what does that say of statement? cheesy

That is you house and you have every right to declare people persona non-grata

But Fashola has no power to pick and chose which Nigerian can live in Lagos

It is criminal, the constitution must be respected at all times

otherwise we should be having a different debate to negotiate Lagos' soverignty

The funny thing about some of those defending Fashola's action is, when you attempt to reason with them in other topics, they start telling you about God and Jesus. Yet these same people are the first to defend the deportation of beggers. Hypocrites.

Sagamite:

I am not saying they would all of a sudden stop begging.
They would continue begging but in places where they cannot be evicted, like Kaduna, Kano and Bauchi.
Trying to do it in Lagos would be too expensive and stressful and not as attractive anymore as the forementioned.
Beggars from Lagos should be catered for by Lagos government.
If Yorubas are pestered, no problem, they would return but the northern society would virtually be unfunctional for a while.

I don’t think begging as a northerner in Lagos has ever been attractive. Anyways, I sense that no matter how much we try to roll this, it still comes down to tribal roots and not much. I mean we are already picking them apart by place where they come from. I just wonder what criteria the state uses in this case to determine who gets to be deported and who gets to stay. If State of origin, then what of those who have been in Lagos long enough to be considered legal residents of the state?

In my opinion, this is illegal and the state ought to find other ways of punishing these people rather than creating potential issues for the state. These beggars could be used for free /cheap labor by the state as punishment or something for them begging in the state. Deportation, should not even be an option unless the beggars explicitly state they would like to be. I mean following the constitution, someone could actually take the state to court and get paid big time for this. Beggars, regardless of their states of origin are also covered by the law.

do you have both of your legs cut off? and aren't you abroad?  i don't think americans deport citizens to other countries for being beggars and cripples.
what is a disability in US is not a disability in naija anyways. you could be obese for all i care. that counts as a disability here in the US.
NIGERIA DOESN'T RECOGNIZE DISABILITY so i don't know what you're on about.

for real? build them houses? are you sure?  grin build them houses indeedy  grin are there light, water, and basic amenities in there undecided?

let them stay in Lagos and mr. Fash should fight the area boys and agberos (those i hate so bad) with their red eyes and stinking mouth  grin
