naptu2: Finally! I said it on the other thread (going to search for the post) why the emphasis on Fashola?

1) The law was enacted in 2003 (before Fashola became governor).

2) It has not been proven that people were "deported" as opposed to being returned.

3) Fashola would probably not know about each individual case because there are agencies that handle these cases (in the same way he wouldn't know about each case that lastma handles, or about each person that is prosecuted under Lagos State laws).

ujchief:
wat an irony! The governor has a wierd way of showing how welcoming Lagos is.
If hes proud of his actions, why is he denying it? Cant he man up and stand on what he did, giving reasons to justify his actions?
Pathetic hypocrites!
Nanscenze!

Dudu_Negro: Why did Obi not complain about the deportation of gainfully employed Anambras from Abia but will shamefully not only protest deportation of jobless hooligans but also write petition to Gej demanding intervention?

Whose interest should a governor push....lawfull citizens denied livelihoods or lawless criminals denied opportunities?

Obi need to get his prioprities right and act like a governor, not like a local govt chairman. ....he needs to grow up!

Dudu_Negro: Its been what...., three or four days now and these people are still in a refugee shelter in Anambra. What doea that say abiut these people and the government of Anambra?

The people are homeless and dont have homes to go even on their own soil otherwise they should have left refugee shelter and go home. If their own soil have no home for them then they should become responsibility of the FG, not of Lagos State. Their people dont want to go get them.....their govt has no alternative mean of support for them beside keeping them in shelter and making a news mockery of them to stoke emotions.....FG has not stepped in to help them....but every mtthrfvkng ibo baboon is blaming Lagos State.....a forein land where these do no good parambulators were deported from.

If Obi is happy keepig them in shelter and other SE state govs dont have a problem with....and Gej has no means of supportbfor them....then why should Fashola loose his sleep?

Billyonaire: Fashola has actually done nothing positive in his second term than madness and mayhem. I am not proud of him.

Ileke-IdI:
Your case is simply a sad one.

Keep projecting your fear to the Yorubas. Igbos fear Yoruba like no man's business.

Dudu_Negro:

I disagree.

The law of Lagos State protects the law abiding people in that state against threats and nuisance in the community. The task force agents are empowered to raid and remove destitutes that run away or avoid govt rehabilitation programs.

I started a post few months ago....i think around June/July....in an attempt to demistify the constiution. Many Nigerians have no ground understanding of the constitution. People that despise Nigeria and cant reapect what it stands for are qjick to run and grab the constitution for shelter when their civic relationship is questioned. The constitution is the new new manuscript. In ancient times, scrolls and manuscripts were written in crypted language to befuddle the ordinary citizen so that the more he struggles against authority the deeper he gives them cause and reaaon to entrench control over his life. It is absolutely imperative that every citizen understand the constiution....not just read it but be able to interpree its intent and spirit.

On this deportation issue....i cannot speak for other states deportig non indigenes for other reasons.....but in the case of Lagos state, the govt , by invoking its statute and promise to protect lives and property of innocent and law abiding citizens, has acted in concordance with the provisions of the constitution of Nigeria.

Cosmic liberty is in accord with land covenants and a function of nativity to land. I dont know qhere you got this idea that freedom of rights in a constitution can be equated to cosmic benevolence......the two are separate and irreconciliable.

Cosmic benevolence is in synch wih customary laws, not democratic constitutions.

Classicalman: Yeah. They fear them. Same way some cowardly yoruba Generals shit in their pants and prostrated before a common Major during d Abacha era.

ndu_chucks:

Stop making up your own facts if you want to be taken seriously. The notion that 80% of the deportees are not Igbos is very significant and if true, Obi should have made that a major talking point because not doing so would make Obi, senseless, incompetent, and a dummy - I'm sure that is not what you are implying.


@sheyuy, According to the story posted by the OP, Obi was said to have confronted Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, at the Governors’ Forum parley on the deportation issue. The Lagos governor was said to have denied knowledge of this.

T9ksy:


If you and your ilk truly believe your baseless asertion above, what then is stopping you ibos from directly fighting the

yorubas, for Lagos? Afterall, yorubas are cowards. So it should be a walk in the park for you gallant warriors.

Dudu_Negro: Billionaire,

Lagos had been as Yoruba as Yoruba can be Lagos and as far back into the Awori foothold.

The ownership of property by ibos in territories outside of iboland is an issue for ibos to struggle with....thats not Yoruba headache if you want to buy land and erect mansions in the entire Lekki peninsula while we all remain a country. It will be our headache when we no longer cohabit under the same sovereingty as to what to do with these properties and the ownership. Until that time....we dont care. The buildings cannot walk. ..Itherefore their owners are under a bind to the land on which the property stand. I will halt on that topic.

How do you know who owns Lagos? Simply look in the elite group and the ruling class as well the culture.

All the Obas and Chiefs are Yoruba
All the elected officials are Yoruba
All the LGAs are Yoruba names
Yoruba is the only Nigerian tongue used in House of Assembly
All the wards registered with the council of Obas are Yoruba


....i dont know how else to tell you that whether you like it or not, each ibo man that buys land and build property in Lagos is indirectly signing a committment to develop and contribute to Yoruba progress.

strangest: If Fashola actually did something like that, then why is he denying it?

Mr. Globe:

so you didnt read from the article where it clearly stated majority of those deported are not from Anambra and investigations were still ongoing

ACM10:

Another shameless hypocrite is trying to spin the shameful action with English. Pls what is the difference between "deported" and "returned"?

~Bluetooth:

Fashola is not serious.He should have sent these SOBS to ivory coast,their ancestral home.
