i dont fancy politics but i must say there is an unbelievable massive development going on in osun state presently...the govnor is really working....SE need to wake up and tilt their gov'nors towards performance and quit siding/ass-licking jona..

i googled for hours and couldnt find where calabar was listed as a no fly or high security risk area!!!!

that coach wants to use psycological b.s to win at all cost...we dey watch.

software man: AND YOU ALSO HAVE A POINT THERE BUT IT STILL BEGS A QUESTION WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEING THE CRUX OTHER MOST OBJECTIVE OBSERVERS ARGUMENT SINCE THIS ISSUE CAME UP: WHY DID ANAMBRA STATE NOT RESPOND TO THE REQUEST TO COME FORWARD, IDENTIFY AND TOOK CARE OF THEIR PEOPLE WHEN THEY WERE NOTIFIED FOUR MONTHS AGO?

abeg leave them make dem dey yarn okpasn.....if the deportation of ibos pain you,go protest for UN Headquarters..

Scun: Actually there's is no proof that Tinubu is a tribalist like Fashola, but that man is reaponsible for the assasination of some peoplie in the past. I hope he gets to meet those he assasinated.........if true

and who are you to condemn someone.....i'm not a fan of his but we need to be careful of what we wish for other ppl.

LBT: let analyse issues properly, I believe the ibos have a chance of becoming Vice president in 2015 and going on to become president later with APC than with any other party; this a very good opportunity when the ibos shouldn't waste at all. Am not a member of any political party but vote for any one regardless of religion, tribe or gender.

my guy God bless you for figuring out the bigger picture which this rant for nothing ibos will never see.....if rochas joins APC, the party will be precipitated and he could even run for vice p or president in later future...thats how smart ppl think....trust ibos they just flare up for nothing claiming the guy is a traitor joining a yoruba/hausa muslim party...if he joins (bringing his crew)it becomes yor/hausa/ibo party and there will be no anti ibo policies...

Note: i'm not a political bigot nor even like the APC.....

Onyegecha: Nemerem, your parent's reports are influenced by the smokescreen effect of the man Rochas, He is a master in the art of deceit. Take it from me, if you are a discerning fellow and step into Imo state, it will not take you two days to decode the reality on ground. THE MAN, ROCHAS, IS A LIE!

You ibos have once again displayed your intolerant nature....thank God you finally see sm1 else to lash out on after fasola deported your sorry arse....always threatening fire and brimstone...mschew.

jason123: Thank you Fashola! These uncultured fresh from the niger bridge Igbos know nothing about lagos. All they do is rant all day with little or no sense. When Fashola deported his fellow Yorubas, no wahala, in fact, they jubilated. When he deported northerners, they call those northerners bh members and thanked Fashola . Now it's their turn, all of a sudden, Fashola is a tribalist. Look at the ladipo situation. i mean, how claims right over an oba except these JJC Igbos ? Currently in lagos, a lot of Yorubas are now being sensitized to the sort of people most Igbos are, especially those JJCs from the east. Uncultured bunch.

leave those fools....A question:whats the difference between a lawyer(SAN) and a spare part dealer? ........

Biggyd2: Can Fashola Deport Non-Lagosian Nigerians?
Rotimi Fawole - August 2, 2013 - Politics

“Gentrification” – the transformation of a run-down neighbourhood into a more prosperous one – is a word that one comes across much more frequently these days, in discussions about the government of Lagos State. While the state government, under the leadership of Governor Fashola, regularly receives plaudits for its approach to infrastructural development and the restoration of law and order, it seems that the side-effect is that Lagos is no country for broke(n) men.

In addition to banning commercial motorcycles (“okada”), rickshaws (“Keke Marwa”) and destitute persons from many parts of Lagos, the government has gone further on least 2 occasions to barrack some of these people into buses and forcibly transport them to other parts of the country. The most recent deportation/repatriation took place on the 24th of July 2013, with the “dumping” of 72 persons forcibly transported from Lagos at the Iweka Bridge, Onitsha. Naturally, the reactions have been of deep concern and outrage.

Governor Fashola’s Special Adviser on Youth & Social Development, Dr. Enitan Dolapo Badru, has gone on record in defence of the administration to claim, amongst other things, that the operation was not a repatriation, but the facilitation of a reunion between the destitute persons and their families. Apart from the confirmation that “at least 1,708 beggars and destitute have been expelled from Lagos to their various States and countries since January 2013, in government’s bid to rid the streets of beggars and the mentally challenged”, Dr Badru stated further that “the international standard requires the State to reunite them with their families…The end result is to reunite them back with their families. We are not repatriating them out of Lagos, we are reuniting them with their families because once we rescue them, we cannot as a government, hold a child under the age of 18 in custody without parental or guardian’s consent. We found out that a lot of children on the streets of Lagos come from outside the state thinking that Lagos is an Eldorado. It is unfortunate that many of them are underage and very vulnerable because they can be introduced to so many vices.”

“When we rescue them, we try as much as possible to carry out social investigation to know where they actually come from and why they absconded in the first place. And this takes time, because most of them don’t usually tell the truth since they don’t want to go back home. Once we have them in our custody, we must take a Court Order to keep them since the law provides for that and we cannot keep them indefinitely, so we still need to send them back to their parents. And our practice is to get in touch with the social welfare services of their respective states, which would in turn get in touch with the families.

“In the last one year, a total number of 3,114 beggars, destitute and mentally-challenged have been rescued in day and night operations and 2,695 were taken to the Rehabilitation and Training Centre, Owutu, Ikorodu, where the state government has made provisions for facilities to help in turning their lives around, while the mentally-unstable are given medical attention.”

It is necessary to quote him as extensively as done here because of the implications and ramifications of what the government of Lagos State is doing here.

The SA appears to be implying that only those under the age of 18 are carted away on these family reunion projects, the reason being that Lagos State cannot indefinitely hold minors in its custody without parental consent. His statement implies further that the mentally infirm are not repatriated but looked after in state-run facilities. If this is the case, the constitution would appear to justify the government of Lagos State.

Section 35(1) of the 1999 constitution provides that “[E]very person shall be entitled to his personal liberty and no person shall be deprived of such liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure permitted by law: …(d) in the case of a person who has not attained the age of eighteen years, for the purpose of his education or welfare; (e) in the case of a person suffering from infections or contagious disease, persons of unsound mind, persons addicted to drugs or alcohol or vagrants, for the purpose of their care or treatment or the protection of the community…”

What this means is that while everyone is entitled to personal liberty, government is allowed to deprive under-18s and the mentally challenged of this liberty, for the stated purposes.

However, it is doubtful that only under-18s are deported, given the statements that have been made by some of the Iweka 72 and the fact that none of the political leaders of that geopolitical zone has commented on the deportees being children. And, in any event, that section of the constitution does not justify forcible removal from Lagos.

There is also the question of the basis on which the government determines that these minors have parents and whether it repatriates such people regardless of whether or not they are orphans. What measures does it take to ensure that minors are actually reunited with their parents rather than merely exchanging Carter Bridge for Upper Iweka Bridge? If indeed, the government of Lagos State merely dumped 72 minors at Iweka Bridge, has it not breached its obligation of security and social welfare to these minors, as guaranteed by Section 14(2)(b) of the constitution?

Furthermore, if the government of Lagos State is sifting through destitute persons within its territory, on the basis of states of origin, to determine who would be entitled to social welfare, there is a clear question of whether or not such a process is discriminatory. I would in fact argue that it is discriminatory, given that it is highly unlikely that these repatriated/deported persons were actually reunited with any family as the government would have us believe.

Section 42(1) of the constitution says “A citizen of Nigeria of a particular community, ethnic group, place of origin, sex, religion or political opinion shall not, by reason only that he is such a person – (a) be subjected either expressly by, or in the practical application of, any law in force in Nigeria or any executive or administrative action of the government, to disabilities or restrictions to which citizens of Nigeria of other communities, ethnic groups, places of origin, sex religions or political opinions are not made subject;…”

Section 41(1) of the constitution states that “[E]very citizen of Nigeria is entitled to move freely throughout Nigeria and to reside in any part thereof, and no citizen shall be expelled from Nigeria or refused entry thereto or exit therefrom.

Taking these two sections of the constitution together, a citizen of Nigeria is entitled to move freely within Nigeria and live in any location of his choice and has the right not to be discriminated against on the basis of his place of origin.

Indeed, there would be implications for the “indivisibility” of Nigeria (Section 2(1) of the constitution) if every state began deciding who would be entitled to its services on the basis of their places of origin.

I would suggest that the government of Lagos State reevaluate its strategy for the gentrification of the mega city. The mega city, no matter how mega or giga or even tetra it may become, will only be a city within a state, within a federation. Unless, of course, the deportations are a declaration of secession…and we have been down that road before, have we not?

Omo check out grade-A ranting!

Ogui eke: NGIGE HAS FINISHED HIMSELF. HE HAS JUST SHOWN HW CONY HE IS , COME AND CAMPAIGN AGAIN NA UNDER GO FIRE U, U RULED BY CHANCE BEFORE AND NEVER AGAIN

Bunch of cry babies.....na so e pain una reach?...tot u guys were clamouring for biagra.....dis one na golden opporshuniti so.

naturalwaves: This story looks like an Abracadabra and it is difficult to believe. Even if it is that easy getting a sim swapped on Airtel, when the supposed cracker wanted to contact Yahoo, did he just get a Password just like that from Yahoo? Impossible! Getting your password changed on Yahoo isn't that easy. Okay? And the Domain Name Registrer too gave out another Password on sighting just a note for a change of password? I haven't read something as hilarious and ridiculous as this claim in a long while even if you go to court with this crap, you will outrightly lose the case on the first day.
First of all, confirm the sim swap procedure and how the hacker did it from Airtel and then contact Yahoo and get to know how the verification for password changed such that yours was given out so cheaply on just a request then contact your DNR too to get the full details of how your password was changed in a little time before you come up with claims. I understand the fact that, your website was hacked but trying to make Airtel the scapegoat for the process without sufficient evidence is really hilarious. Take heart!

my thought exactly.Even if you could stroll past airtel's raggedy security flaws,you think you can hack yahoo multiple obj security questions too..only dumb ppl will believe slyr0x fake ass analysis...

Naijaloaded owner has his fault,after all this years;you ought to have switched away from childish wapka.mobi sites.....Domain name change doesnt matter.

seedorf123: Igbo is one of the useless people i ever see. Pls Fashola deport their grandma...

WICKED!!!!!!

Lagosbabe1: 1000 likes!


I have advised them to go and address the problem they face up north- they are bush meat to hausas and yet no action, with all the lion heart gburugburu story, the hausas treat them like suya and bush meat.

They are so vocal in Lagos and very silent in Kano and Sokoto etc etc, the hausas know them very well, any misyearn from them is straight punishment which involves dead bodies and no repercussion. Let Hausa try kill Yoruba en masse and they know the implication but Igbo people are fair game because the end story after Gburugburu noise is SE governors asking for calmness. The worst that will happen is African China releasing a new single which they will all be playing and crying over.

Igbo Ronu ooo

lmao!@the african china part,0baino and all....
dude sings good music by the way....one decent ibo dude he is.

T9ksy: And do what, exactly? If there is any shred of opportunities in their Jungle of the rising sun, you

The sad fact is, its ibos who cannot survive without lagos- Lagos can and will survive without Ibos.

Decryptor: Metronaija.com? Rubbish!! Show me the main source of the story on a foreign reputable website! I won't believe a hog-wash cooked-up story from some cheap N2,500 domain website belonging to persons from that "part of Nigeria" who could have easily fabricated it in order to paint the name of a particular tribe black."We" are smarter than this...we know your "tricks"!

....you can start crying from nw till next year but that wouldnt erase the fact that we even saw the news on presstv...

Bad eggs of a country you guys are...
