Miss becky: as expected,d usual chest beating and self praising comments,where has it gotten u people(no where)..continue sha,am sure it feeds ur ego and makes u sleep better at night.

believe it or nt, u know its true.in every good house of 10 families 80% or more are igbos here on lagos. houses built in flats are all theirs cos of affordability.u can easily know where yorubas dominate.the truth is hard to accept. even property ownership, can u count?

osaiworld:

if you are not satisfied go and hug transformer.
meanwhile where is your hero, orji uzor kalu who threatened to sue fashola? oh he has kept quite now. cant you see that you guys are a generation of cowards? shior.

I care less about your comment because it lacks the fabrics of sanity, capacity and intelligence, so you can hug that your transformer all by yourself. You fail to realize that the issue here is about the rights of Nigerians to live anywhere they wish to live, freedom of expression, association and the right to coexist., you just hate for nothing that I can phantom, but that is immaterial. As far as I am concerned, the issue for me here is that the state government does not have any right to deport, relocate or refrain anyone living within the state and within the country legally and legitimately unless for security reasons or that the person or persons are seriously considered a security risk within the state. I think the government is either being ill advised or they are simply trying to fuel the vessel of hate and tribalism. Believe me, you will not like the outcome when other states start responding in areas that really hurts. You can imagine what the country will look like. The insecurity we have in the north today is simply caused by some group of people asking for the northern part of the country to me islamized. They feel the northern part of the country should be left alone for them. It is not far from deporting innocent people and leaving them at the middle of nowhere at 3 AM. If you have any conscience in you which I really doubt, you should be ashamed of your comment above and of such act by the LASG and condemn whoever have advised the execution of such exercise. This is Nigeria and it belongs to every Nigerian, no matter the socioeconomic background of the individual involved, no governor or individual anywhere in the country has the right to deport anyone. These are people and not dogs.

There are camps for destitutes I suppose, if any destitute have legitmately asked for assistance to be relocated by to his home town due to financial or health challenges, I beleive such assistance should also be rendered with respect and regards for human dignity and not as recently displayed by the LASG.

Let everybody go back to there village we need to divide this country come 2015!!!!

The act actually strip fashola of any dignity he has as a learned and humane individual.That is if he was aware of the procedures first hand.He could allocated adequate resources for humane dispensation of the unlawful act,but some area boys will just choose to pocket the resources and do it the nigerian way,"the uncommon sense" way.

KwoiZabo: i saw it hovering around the political Bermuda triangle

Good to know my Oga's English is now becoming clearer to many...opeooo

roxell120: no ibos no lagos. no ibos no development.check the statistics in lagos location. ibos competitiveness is too intimidating to their host yorubas.that's y the hate.they flourish in biz cos they are master of the art even without certificate.they keep their customers coming back naturally tru good relationship. but yorubas keep looking for new customers cos they drive the few they ve with abuses.ask me ibos ve commerce at their finger tips. it took them few years to recover from the war ravages unlike any other country. and today no tribe can challenge them economically and living standard. look at the thread, tomorrow ull say one nigeria. keep decieving ourselves. its only oil that unites us.quote me.

If so..what would you say to going back to your states to develop your region? "No ibos, no development" LOL!

Who ran to Aso Rock like a crying baby? Were the Osun indigens dumped at 3.00 am? Moreover, they want to use this to cover up the ill treatment given to Igbos.

can you please pick up a dictionary and check for the definition of the word "deportation"?
Spin doctors at their best.

They should give us a seaport n international airport . We will forfeit our properties but just like the Phoenix we shall rise again. So now we can't live in any state we want ? Just give us these two things n we will do the rest. It's only ndi na eche Uche na otule bu ndi amaghi na ndi Igbo bu ndi Chineke e burigo enu. Too blessed to be cursed .

A seaport by definition is by the sea YOU are landlocked. So no onecan GIVE you a seaport. God knows why he did not give the vulture hair. No one is going to give you anything.You can live wherever you like.Just respect the laws and customs and please keep those red or baby hats to a minimum (they are legal but truly hilarious)and might scare some of our foreign investors

ALAKE_OF_EGBA:

If you think that taking back home 14 clearly known destitute is hurting Ibos good luck ....go to court!

You guys are threatening and when push come to shove...all you scums will carry your bags and run to the east. Wait till it dies down and you then start trooping back to the west like the stubborn goats you are. Just like Osuji rightly said.

Its obvious you're not in your right senses. I fail to see the difference btw yu and BH.

Eko Atlantic: This is what a responsible state government who has the welfare and the well being of her people in mind. Not those who ran (as they always do) to Aso rock like cry babies and weep on Mr Jona.

Osun A Dara.

Na wa for some Nigerians! It's clear to everyone ( except pro Fashola group ) that this was an arrangement to cover up the total disregard of human rights! Nonsense!

If so..what would you say to going back to your states to develop your region? "No ibos, no development" LOL!

go to the east and see for urself. they are everywhere doing well.I hope uve heard of "aba made " products, nnewi mkt is there, onitsha main mkt is in the list.dont forget, its federal presence that made lagos what it is today not lagos state. develo

Go to court and stop making noise.The message is that it will continue

These APC people are so childish. They quickly arranged handover ceremony to show much osun government cares for its own. Smh

Some ibos just fail to understand what Gov Fashola did,most of you haven't been to lagos b4 to see ow pple live under d bridge all over lagos,its better they return to their families in the Villages irrespective of what tribe they come from.Now for some of you saying is it proper to drop them @ 3am.Last I remembered onitsha is nt close to lagos and if you are to travel to the east you wld probably get there @ night considering there might be serz hold ups on the inter state roads.Gov Fashola informed Gov Peter Obi of what he intends doing bt he didn't respond.Besides Lagos didn't start this act of repartration.Destitutes from all part of the country was taken home to reunite wit their families.

cKaiser: Thats how responsible govt act unlike that squirrel voiced Peter AdaObi

wat has fashola done for u agbero -in-chief and ur teeming taut colleagues that wander about ravaging innocent traders even hawkers all over lagos.that's the main area to start rehabilitation.

Anambra Orders Arrest Of Child Beggars

Leadership, December 4, 2011

DAVID-CHYDDY ELEKE

The Anambra state government has issued a warning to all street beggars, especially children used by their parents to beg for alms, to vacate the streets or be arrested. 

29 of such women who displayed their children as strategy for getting alms have already been arrested in Awka and Onitsha, and repatriated to their home states; Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states.

The state commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Dr. Ego Cordelia Uzoezie, disclosed Friday in Awka when a middle-aged woman was arrested for begging with nine children at various points in Awka.

Uzoezie said her attention was drawn to the spectacle when one of the children who begged at the Unizik junction, Awka, six-year-old Goodnews Sunday, was hit in the jaw by an Okada rider, while he begged.  

Uzoezie decried the attitude of some parents who used their  children to beg for alms, and warned that after 72 hours any beggar seen in the state would be arrested by the law enforcement agents and the special task force of the ministry of women affairs and social development.

Anambra Govt Orders The Arrest Of Beggars With Children, 29 Arrested So Far

CHAMPION, DEC 4, 2011

By Odogwu Emeka Odogwu, Awka

In its determined efforts to rid the state environment of beggars daily increasing in their numbers, the Anambra state government has issued an ultimatum to all the street beggars especially those using children to beg in Anambra state to vacate the streets or face arrest within 72 hours.

Meanwhile over 29 beggars with children have been arrested in Awka and Onitsha , warned and repatriated back to their various states of origin mostly  Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states to mention but a few.

Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development , Dr Ego Cordelia Uzoezie disclosed Friday in Awka when a middle aged woman was arrested begging with 9 children at various points in Awka.

The attention of Dr Uzoezie was drawn to the beggar with children when one of the kids begging at Unizik junction Awka , 6 years old Goodnews Sunday was hit while begging by an Okada operator injuring her jaw.  

She was later taken to Beacon Hospital Awka after two hospitals turned her down when good Samaritans rushed her to hospital for first aid. Reasons for her rejection are yet to be ascertained as at press time.

Uzoezie decried the attitude of some parents who indulge in using children to beg, warning that after 72 hours any beggar seen in the state would be arrested by the law enforcement agents and the special task force of the ministry of women affairs and social development.

The accident victim Goodnews said she came from Akwa-Ibom Oron in Akwa-Ibom state and is staying with her mother at Isu-Aniocha but her twelve years old Sister , Blessing Sunday not only concurred the story of her sister but  admitted that her mother actually sent them to go for the begging and that they  used to be students of Anointed Nursery/Primary school Awada Obosi until they were pushed into begging following taunts on their mother who use to hawk curry and garri at Onitsha by one Happiness from Calabar.

Blessing further informed that the accident victim is a twin and that their parents now do nothing but to depend on what they were able to get from the begging. She said they would use it to pay for their school fees and house rent and equally build a house. She however contradicted herself when she later said she and her sister were being enslaved by one, Happiness who was already repatriated but came back to Anambra.

The other woman with 5 children, Mrs Nwakaego Eze from Amafor Uli, in Ihiala local government of Anambra state married to Arochukwu in Abia state blamed her begging now on week days to the dislocation of her husband and others from the Army barracks Onitsha as their begging before now was only on weekends.

She said although they have a house at No 2 Igbamaeze Street Awada Obosi , she equally rented a house at Isu-Aniocha to enable them sleep after begging in Awka. She said her children were not begging with her before as they were students of Basic Foundation but since after the Army Barracks dislocation they have joined her in begging, She further said they are now going to Anointed Nursery/Primary School Awada Obosi.  She promised not to use the children for begging again, if allowed to walk home free.

But the Director Child Development , Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development , Mr Emeka Ejide warned the beggars to leave their children alone and can beg if they choose to as the interest of the ministry and Anambra state government are on the children. He said the Ministry has repatriated more than 29 women begging with children to their various states and would not hesitate to deal with parents who still engage in such acts describing them as products of Mammy market Onitsha where anything goes before its closure.

One of the good Samaritans who rushed the victim to hospital Mrs Stella Samuel incidentally an indigene of Akawa Ibom wondered why people from Akwa Ibom state must still be begging in Anambra state when the Governor of Akwa Ibom, Governor  Godswill Akpabio had declared free education for children of the state. She said the accident happened in front of her shop and she had to run around to save the life of the girl but was shocked that no hospital wanted to accept her until later when the Ministry took custody of her and others.

But the President General of Akwa-Ibom Central Union, Anambra state , Sir Chris Ekanem who not only admitted that the victim and some of the beggars came from Akwa-Ibom but requested for authority for them to repatriate them home since their Governor Akpabio has given free education to people like them.

He appealed that those who brought them to Anambra only to subject them to begging should be punished adding that they had reported to the police the incident.  He revealed that the children told him in their dialect that they were many in the state from the same Akwa Ibom doing the same business of begging in Anambra state.
You guys are pushing we moderate yorubas to start acting like our yoruba extremists.
Condemn what Obi,Akpabio and Fct minister did before you call for Fashola's head.

Same Yorubas that fought for one Nigeria with master Aboki are now engaged in deportation? What happened to thw green white green and the unity bruhahah? Anyways, Lagos is not all that and the reason most of us go out there is to access Federal government own infrastructures like clearing containers and Utilizing the MMIA when going on vacation.

bakynes: Some ibos just fail to understand what Gov Fashola did,most of you haven't been to lagos b4 to see ow pple live under d bridge all over lagos,its better they return to their families in the Villages irrespective of what tribe they come from.Now for some of you saying is it proper to drop them @ 3am.Last I remembered onitsha is nt close to lagos and if you are to travel to the east you wld probably get there @ night considering there might be serz hold ups on the inter state roads.Gov Fashola informed Gov Peter Obi of what he intends doing bt he didn't respond.Besides Lagos didn't start this act of repartration.Destitutes from all part of the country was taken home to reunite wit their families.

So those scary looking agberos littered all over Lagos, that barely hear come in English are Igbos or from Niger Delta? When it comes to hooligans and destitutes, yorubas and Abokis are at the top two positions.

I will stop using them when the officers in charge of those infrastructure wear OPC uniform. I hope your oil billionaires are willing to give up the no contest oil blocks in the east that were awarded to them by Northern military generals?

Who will "give you" a seaport and international airport? LWKMD! It's like asking for N 300 B gift, who will give you that kind of money or do you think we plant and grow money to be dashed around like that? Is it from the huge taxes paid by the SW or the oil revenue of the ND the will just give you N 300 B? You see you people are VERY funny indeed! Well, what seaport are you talking about for if you knew the map of Nigeria, there is no Ibo state with access to the sea (landlocked), so how much money would be required to bring the sea to your state? In any case, there is a "seaport" already at Anambra and Enugu International Airport (Alkanu Ibiam) with Ethiopian Airlines flying in and out, so what else do you want? I am sure no one needs your properties because even when they could have taken it in 1970, they let you have it, why will anyone need your property now? Now when the GDP of the SW is more than TWICE that of the SE? Meaning they are richer! They are maybe 5-10M more than the you in Nigeria alone with a lot much more in foreign countries! My advice is to for you to start a moving company that can move houses (if you watch Discovery Channel you would have seen it) so that your properties can be moved professionally. All we want is for you to leave and go and help Nigeria from your lands.

roxell120:

You people are really funny! When ibos ran away during Biafra, was Lagos or the SW a desert? Did we not do business? Who was dying of hunger? Answer those questions first!

You don't get it do you? That you lost the war and the SW, North and Minority won the war did not mean you lost your land, stay in it or move back there! It doesn't matter how long you live in the SW, learn the language, eat our foods, etc you will still not be a Yoruba and have no permanent rights to our lands! This is the reality, you can face it now or wait until another 100 years, it will still be the same!
