chukwudi44: What is wrong with this move.Are you saying parents should be allowed to abuse their kids in the name of street begging?

ndu_chucks:

This report simply shows that Fashola is not the only Governor who has carried out illegal deportation of Nigerian citizens in blatant violation of section 35 of our constitution. I call upon our President to put an end to this practice and defend the constitution of Nigeria. Obi appears to be a hypocrite in this matter.

Ji_sun_pack:

Wow! Because the name of criminal is now Obi you.want to justify this criminality?

pistol:

U are always missing the point y?
Granted...,
It is wrong to encourage begging in any form or kind.
What we should be asking is how to deal with this malady afflicting our society.
Is it by shipping them off at the dead of the night to drop them at an unknown place eh?

datChelseaBoy: Yes! Fire for Fire. Fashola you see what you have caused because tribalism and Yoruba supremacy flows in your blood?

Clerverly: I am an igbo man but I would always stand for the truth! I was in onitsha that very week when the deportation was carried out. Everybody was happy because nobody like seeing destitute and beggars litter the street. And I could still remember they were drop at the main park at uyo, even the governor who wanted to protest rather backtracked and promised to absorb them in his free education policy. This is an attempt by Obi to play the ethnic card in order to wittle the support base of ngige simple.

Sincere 9gerian:
Whether any one or group of people are trying to make political gains out of this issue is irrelevant. Did any of the contestants in the Anambra election force Fashola to carry out his evil deportation at this period?

Anambra state and many other states (including Lagos) may have deported Nigerians in the past but that does not make it right. It is wrong, evil, wicked and inhumane to deport Nigerians in their own country. When the Lagos state govt did the initial deportation of Nigerians, including Igbos, yorubas and hausas, the uproar was not as loud. Perhaps that was what emboldened Fashola to now repeat the deportation with impunity.

The uproar will continue until it sinks into Fashola's crazy skull that it is wrong to deport Nigerians in their own country. The uproar will continue until Fashola apologises for his evil actions. Subsequently, governors will think twice before deporting Nigerians in Nigeria.
