Lagos “deports” 160 Northern Beggers

@asha she neva said that so why the attack?

excuse me? who said anything about his picture?


exactly! anyway were going to forget about that stupid fued on the other thread cause youre my igbo brother. lol


damn didnt know you followed me here like twitter. sheesh!
sjeezy is different. yeah i like his body, and?

igbo boy i really dont get you. lol
hahaha! 

Is this really about how many other places accept this? Or how legal this is and what it means to the people affected?

Regardless of where these people feel somewhat at home according to you, the fact is moving people AGAINST their will to any place where you feel is their home is infringing upon their right to live where they chose. Or what else is this? Am I no longer to be allowed to live in Kano, even if I feel more at home in Lagos? Do I deserve to be treated worse than a dog because I constitute a nuisance in Kano then?

But you mentioned earlier this is not ethnic in any way. Regardless of where the beggars are originally from, constitutionally, what gives the state the right to do what it did? Are destitute to then be thrown back to their states of origin then because they are unable to contribute their quota, according to you?

Nigeria is NOT UNITED STATES and cannot be. Please this is no excuse for the inhumane treatment of these beggars and ought to be stopped? What next? When you loose your job, you get shipped back to your state of Origin? Is that the Nigeria we need?

lol amaka i took back my comment, lol

i read what u wrote in a haste, lol, now u get me?

u in college?

hahaha igbo boy
nevermind.

have a nice day, peace!!

It is not illegal to remove what constitutes a nuisance to the general public.
Very soon you will tell us it is illegal to remove mentally-unstable peops walking naked on the streets of Lagos.


Yet again. . . . . .Citing human right act in a country where there's no benefit system to cater for the disabled.
How can it ever work? Even in the developed world, people don't beg alms to harass law abiding citizens.
The UK/USA have a good system that caters for this people. . . .In Nigeria, we don't have such facility so the best thing is to relocate them.


Yes. . . . . .Vagrants should be thrown back to where they came from cos the Lagos State Government cannot tend to the 18 million residents in the State. Public Services have been stretched to the limit and Fashola is right to decongest Lagos. I think the people who don't contribute nowt to the development of the state and make Lagos the eyesore we all run away from should be evicted first.


Do u go to the streets to beg when you lose your job?
Fashola did not say all Northerners should leave Lagos. . . . . .He shipped destitutes the State cannot cater for out of Lagos.
They should go and claim their benefits in their state of origin.

It is not illegal to remove People that constitute a nuisance to the general public TO a LOCATION OUTSIDE OF THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE with the intent of moving them back to their states of origin? Are you serious?  Are you saying it is constitutionally just for a State A to ship all it’s cracy people to State B on the grounds that those crazy folks are Originally from State B?

Can you please show me where this is allowed by the law. I mean anywhere please. I have asked over and over for this and yet to get an answer from anyone.


That there are no benefits system to cater for the disabled is valid reason why human rights should continue to be ignored?


If the CRIME is harassment, then why were they not sentenced as criminals would have been? Why were they shipped out, not as punishment for any crime, but simply as way of getting rid of the eye-sore?



How did you arrive at this? Are they then being better catered for where they are being relocated to? Or is this just what it is – that is simply moving these people out to become another man’s problem simply because they are not from within your own shores ( I mean state). Saying the same thing a different way does not explain it in any way. Why is this again, the best?

According to your own claim there, folks who do not contribute their quota ought to be sent back from whence they came , or in this case, their state of origin. So, if a person looses his job, he looses his ability to contribute and becomes a candidate for expulsion according to your logic there.

So, this is an attack on destitutes, right? So, again, what law allows this? I mean this is an infringement on the right of these destitute who happen to be Nigerians and are covered under the same constitution  as those who are able to afford donating their own quota to that system.

No, no no!!! I am asking if this decision was according to the constitution as is. Not how you would prefer it be.

So, you are saying that overpopulation is reason to break the law, and trample the rights of selected individuals then? Are we trying to move forward or move backwards here?



YIKES!!!

Can you guarantee this or you are just assuming this will be the case?

I have nothing else to say!!

We do many things in Nigeria that are not in the constitution.
Why are you surprised with the shipping out of destitutes to their native land.


Overpopulation is the reason Lagos State are trying to decongest and reduce these vagrants to the barest minimum.
Public services can no longer cope with the demand and nothing seems to work.
If you have any other solution to this, then voice it out.

When the soliders of Idiagbon were beating civil servants who come late to work in Lagos. . . . were they breaking the law/infringing on the rights of those workers OR instilling discipline? It depends on how you want to take it.



This is common sense!!!!
They are more likely to come across friends/relatives/neighbours in their local area than in Lagos where people don't give a rat's ass about them.

ummm first of all, its is unconstitutional to do what fashola did, coz you cannot take people and "deport abi na expel" them from a state when the constitution guarantees the freedom of movement, association etc. if you pick me up from lagos and tell me you're taking me back to the north for whatever reason, this would constitute an unconstitutional act provided it was against my will which is the case with "fashola v. northern beggars" look, the simple fact is that fashola is inflaming tribal tensions in the country by this action,  i understand and support that he's trying to clean up lagos but surely there are other ways to go around that than busing people out of your state. what statement is that making? so next time, a northern governor will target yoruba road side traders in the north and bus them to lagos, what does that say about national unity and how does it impact our unity as a nation, remember the ever true saying "divided we fall"
all those clamouring for nigeria to break up are defeatists and losers. in a world where people are forming larger economic  and social communities, it is self defeating to break up and potentially weaken yourself. the key is to rise up and move beyond petty tribal sentiments that do nothing positive or productive and fashola sorry to say is demonstrating this. whats to say the beggars wont return?or is he going to turn lagos into a night club with bouncers at the lagos border turning around hausa beggars??since we're one country then he should find ways to better assimilate these beggars into society if they constitute a nuisance as some say since some of them have been in lagos for more than a decade.

They were deported , period. It is wrong and dangerous, period!

"in a world where people are forming larger economic  and social communities". . . Calm down my friend! The whole North has gone sharia (and are ready to deport those who don't agree with it), So it is you guy's telling the south that they don't belong with you (thats aside from the regular beatings and killings); I really feel for non-Muslims up North. The whole of Nigeria needs to sort itself out; each constituent part is acting with impunity, its time for a national discussion.

As long as you get the gift , who give a f**k about someone's command of grammar here? If you like you can write in Oshodi Market English, who cares, no one is writing oxford exams here.
