The Rights Of Lagos!**who Owns Lagos & Who Shalldeport The Other? by sambas: 10:33am On Aug 10, 2013
**Governors Tinubu and Fashola
are all citizen of neighbouring
states of Osun and Ekiti and
technically should not claim Lagos.
**deportee Uchenna's great grand
parents came to Lagos in the
1920s as produce sellers. His
grandfather, his immediate father
and himself were all born in
Lagos.
**yet Uchenna was arrested for
selling on the street, detained in
a secret detention camp and
cargoed to a State he has never
visited before.
Lagos was the former Capital of
Nigeria and still the commercial
capital of the Country. Being the
former Federal capital, many
Nigerians were posted, transferred
or secured a jobs to work in the
Federal civil services. Others set
up business that was serving the
increasing Lagos Population.
According to the last census, about
85% of residents of Lagos are
either visitors or people who
choose to settle in the city through
different generation.
The question Remains, Who
actually owns Lagos. since Gov
Fashola deported 72 Igbos from
Lagos to Onitsha. The deportees
had all been earlier detained in
“warehouses” in Lagos and some in
the neighbouring Ogun region for
months before their deportation to
Igboland. Many of the deportees
are children and older people and
some have disabilities.
From records the last two
governors of Lagos state are not
originally Lagosians, but the 'real
owners' accommodated them to
the extent of allowing them to vie
for elective positions in the state.
PROFILE::
1] Bola Tinubu.
*Status: Politician.
*State of Origin: Osun state.
*Father's State of Birth : Osun
state
*Position: Former Lagos state
Governor.
2] Babatunde Fashola
*Status: Politician.
*State of Origin: Ekiti state.
*Father's State of Birth : Ekiti
state
*Position: Current Lagos state
Governor.
3] Uchenna Amadi
*Status: Trader (Roadside).
*State of Origin: Lagos state.
*Father's State of Birth : Lagos
state
*Position: Deported To Onitsha.
This is where the confusion comes
in, in determining the actual
owner of Lagos. Governors Tinubu
and Fashola are all citizen of
neighbouring states of Osun and
Ekiti and technically should not
claim Lagos. The deportee
Uchenna's great grand parents
came to Lagos in the 1920s as
produce sellers. His grandfather,
his immediate father and himself
were all born in Lagos, yet he was
arrested for selling on the street,
detained in a secret detention
camp and cargoed to a State he
has never visited before.
The question remains, who owns
Lagos and who should have the
right to deport a Nigerian that was
born and lived his whole life in a
particular state, irrespective of his
offence, handicap or health
situation?
WHO OWNS LAGOS AND WHO IS A
TRUE CITIZEN OF LAGOS STATE BY
BIRTH
