Majority of the Togolese immigrants who are living temporarily at the Lagos State-owned camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s) at Igando and Agbowa are women and children who have lived in Benin Republic for 10 years until recently when the Beninoise authority expelled them from the neighbouring country.
Most of the younger ones among them looked malnourished. The elderly too are not different in their appearances. Although few of them could speak English, majority of them speak their dialect while some of them speak French fluently.
Apparently not aware of the travail of their parents, children of the immigrants were seen playing around in the camp when Daily Trust visited the relief camp.
The literate ones among them knew they are yet to reach their final destination as they have been made to understand that Agbowa and Igando Relief Camp were meant for Internally Displaced People within the state and not meant for foreign nationals seeking asylum. Thus, they were not sure of what decision the Federal Government of Nigeria will take about them.

JiggamanGh:


Why were you laughing?

Because there is No Insecurity in Togo and there is in Nigeria..

One even said we already signed an agreement with Togolese government in Geneva conference to grant the Asylum which is wrong..

There has been political instability for almost 10 years now. Nigeria's instability is only in parts of the country.

Yall better grant them asylum since you are supposed to be the leader of west Africa.

With great powers comes great responsibility. If you call yourself giant of Africa then should be ready to act like a giant.


If they don't have money then how are they able to live in the rich part. Your government needs to slowly but surely incorporate them to society.

What they do is put their load on the streets,, Sleep in front of people's house,,block the roads and all and they get Immediate attention from the govt..if they had gone to the slums,nobody cares

We already have a whole lot of them in the country. I don't think this is the right time to incorporate them into the society..
