Anambra State, Government Removes Over 100 beggars and Mentally Challenged Persons From The Streets.

By Vincent Ezechukwu

In compliance with the directive by the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency Dr Willie Obiano, to clear the streets of Anambra State of mentally challenged persons and beggars who constitute nuisance in most major junctions in the state, the Anambra State Commissioner for Women and Children affairs Lady Ndidi Mezue, was today Monday 15th April, joined by the Honorable Commissioner For Transport, Hon Uchenna Okafor, (Wiper)raided the streets of Awka and Onitsha of these categories of individuals.

The exercise which started at Onitsha Main market, through Upper Iweka, down to Uga and MCC junctions, all in Onitsha and then terminated at Unizk junction Awka, saw the team which comprises various security agencies including the police, Civil Defence, ATMA, OCHA brigade and Social welfare department of the ministry of women affairs, was able to apprehend and relocated over one hundred beggars and mentally challenged persons, who are mostly from neighboring states and beyond.

Following international best practice, the mentally challenged among the individuals removed from the streets were immediately moved to Nteje Home for the mentally challenged, where they will be rehabilitated and reunited with their families. While the beggars who were apprehended seeking alms using under age children will be rehabilitated and returned to their home states.

First of, Fashola abused Nigerians in their own country by telling them to go back to their villages. Secondly, he didn't rehabilitate the mentally sick after picking them up.Rather, he rounded them up ,drove them down to upper Iweka and dumped them under the bridge in the dead of the night. How is that similar to what Obiano is doing ?

Stop saying what you don't know...you are only taking sides cause you are an easterner...they were rehabilitated, they contacted the anambra state government and even there liaison office in victoria island with no response, they were 14 and not 72...Lagos state govt even brought out proof to back their claims..

First of all , out of all the "deported" either one or two were from Anambra ,the rest were from Akwaibom,Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. But, assuming you actually contacted Anambra state government and you didn't get a response you have no right nor power to move citizens of Nigeria to a random location and abandoned them there! You are supposed to actually find out were they are from and make concrete effort to reunite them with their families. And if you couldn't fetch a useful information you must keep them until you resolve the problem.

Dear Nairalanders,

Many people are oblivious of the fact that damaged windscreens are very repairable. With the help of a UV-aided modern technology a damged windshield can be restored to a near perfect state (98%). That is why I am here to help my fellow Nairalanders who may be troubled by a crack on their windshield.
Kindly contact me through the numbers on my signature below for the repair of your damaged windshield. Do not ignore that crack or chip on your windshield, thinking it will not spread, get it fixed now by an experienced glass repair technician for just a token.

Let Ambode or any Lagos governor try to ban hawking in traffic and see how hell will let loose. They'd start foaming in the mouth playing the victim's card.

Anyways, this is a move in the right direction. Imbeciles, mentally unfit people and beggars should not be on our roads. I commend Obiano for this.

I am telling you... Bagging seems like a way of life to This people... I remember in 2013 the then governor of Niger state took this people off the street to a place like a Camp where they where been fed and taken care of medically these people complained and protested that he's (the governor) is trying to cut their source of lively hood they left and went back to the streets...funny enough this blind people begging have more than 2 wives and many kids and you wonder when civilization will really hit the north

He is Igbo. An Anambra 'supremacist'. If you don't know him by now, then you're new to NL.


As soon as i saw the thread, i knew he would show up with that comment. Dude is very sick. Suffers from serious inferiority complex.

He's not Igbo.
His mission on nairaland is to balkanise Igbo land which he cannever achieve because he will keep seeing opposite result offline..
Watch him out..., whenever isssue of SS Igbos is raised, he will be quick to tell you that they are not Igbos despite having so many people in SS like Oshimili,Asaba and Obigbo Axis who are always proud of their identity. He wants Igbo land to be Anambra, Enugu Abia and Imo which is not what it's .

Forget his pro Igbo Igbo comments and his soft Insult on Yoruba, it's still his tactics.. I know two of his monikers Juliesmma and Reelectbuhari. He has abandoned his Reelectbuhari moniker and opened this one. Trust me, he's not Igbo.
You should know the reason why he's claiming Anambra..
I am from Anambra state too.. We Anambrarians are not stupid .. That supremacist nonsense is just figment of some people's imagination

He will be quick write Igbo language with Google traslatator, but when you start replying in Igbo language he Will run or start typing something that is out of context because Google can't help him out on that since every Igbo has their dialects. grin grin.. You can try this and see what I am saying.
He knows my moniker, he avoids engaging me in meaningful discussion.
I know the person that bursted his Reelectbuhari Buhari's moniker before he abandoned that one.. Don't be deceived. I am not new on nairaland..

In fact, he once opened a thread and told Igbos to stop using the word "Yoruba Muslims" that yorubas are one..Check all his topics.. If an "Igbo Man" grin grin like him Said we should stop balkanizing Yorubas along religion line, Why is he balkanizing Igbos along State line if he's Igbo ?
Check out all his thread, most of his threads are threads Igbos won't like to see on nairaland, .
He's up to something and he knows what I am saying.

Obi did worse, they called it best practices.

Fashola rehabilitated many in different homes in Lagos and reallocated the rest North and South. Only those brothers shouted murder after doing worse to their neighbors.

Here they go again.
