infobiz9ja: What's CLO's business with Fashola? They are just seeking to get a bit of recognition because I've never head of them.

you've never heard of CLO? dumbass

lol.. the fraud bigotunde Fashola exposed

Foremost rights group, the Civil Liberties
Organisation (CLO), virtually stripped Lagos
Governor Babatunde Fashola naked yesterday
when it reeled out a catalogue of actions which
it said cast the man in the mould of a lawless
dictator who is absolutely inhuman and derives
pleasure from suffering the poor.
CLO in a statement signed by its Executive
Director, Ibuchukwu Ohabuenyi Ezike, went
beyond the on-going deportation of non-
indigene destitute by the Fashola
administration to cite other evidence of
Fashola's alleged wickedness and hatred of the
poor. It named his victims to include but not
limited to the workers, medical doctors,
students, okada riders, taxi drivers, traders,
hawkers, bus drivers, keke riders and human
rights activists.
On the deported destitute, CLO demanded
'apologies to the victims and adequate
compensations by the Lagos State
Government.' Below is the text of the
statement:
'The attention of the Civil Liberties
Orgnaisation (CLO) has been drawn to the
recent deportation of Nigerian citizens from
Lagos state to Onitsha, Anambra State, few
weeks ago and the comments that the
nefarious action has so far generated from
among Nigerians.
'During this period, too, we have received
phone calls, series of text messages and mails
from concerned Nigerians who feel that CLO
has abdicated its responsibilities in voicing out
against such cruelty and abuse of our grand
norm, the 1999 Constitution and human rights.
CLO has also been accused of keeping quiet
because it is an infraction 'committed by its
friends' in power. Such schools of thought
reason that if it were a case involving the PDP,
CLO and, indeed, other CSOs would have
woken up to condemn the action.
'While we do not want to join issues with those
making such spurious accusations, we make
bold to state that CLO as a Pan-Nigerian and
foremost human rights group, has since its
inception in 1987, stood on the side of the
people and will continue to do without fear or
favour.
'On the issue on the table, CLO notes with
utter dismay that the action of Lagos State
Government in deporting Nigerian citizens
from Lagos state to Onitsha and elsewhere in
the country where they were allegedly
'dumped' like refuse is grossly reprehensible
and condemnable. The action is not only a
total breach of the 1999 Federal Constitution,
the African Charter on Human and Peoples
Rights and the United Nations Declaration on
Human Rights, among others but a huge
infringement on the human rights of the
victims. It is criminal and dehumanising.
Section 41 (1) of the 1999 Constitution grants
Nigerian citizens the right to free movement
without molestation in the land. It is also
important to note that Lagos, apart from being
a state, wears another identity status of a
former Federal Capital Territory. And so, every
Nigerian has a stake in Lagos state just like
Abuja.
'However, CLO is not, at all, shocked at what
Fashola government did with respect to this
deportation matter because his government is
a government that has no human face but can
be best described as an anti-poor government
and a government that is dictatorial, lawless
and absolutely inhuman.
'When people who stay outside Lagos sing
praises for his regime, residents of Lagos State
who are the victims and who wear the shoes
and know where they pinch them, do know
that his government is despotic and lacks
conscience. As at today, we cannot remember
any segment of the Lagos population that is
not lamenting the atrocities of the Fashola
regime against its members.
'At the last count, the following groups of
Lagosians have protested against Fashola's
inhumanities, war against the armless citizens
and wickedness. They include but not limited
to the workers, medical doctors, students,
okada riders, taxi drivers, traders, hawkers,
bus drivers, keke riders and human rights
activists. How many poor people's children can
study at the Lagos State University today? Can
taxi drivers buy new cars from other sources
other than government's and get them
registered as cabs in Lagos State? Do medical
doctors know the types of drugs that are
supplied in public hospitals in the state? The
so-called Fashola buses in Lagos State now
park human beings like Julius Berger trucks
worse than the Oshodi-Osho buses.
'In view of the above, it is the position of the
CLO that developments without human faces
and which overlook human rights are
undesirable projects.
'In the same manner, Yoruba citizens are said
to have been deported to their states of origin
while Yoruba communities like Makoko, Badiya
and Isefun, etc, have also been willfully evicted
from their God-given residences without
alternative options. The war against okada
riders, taxi drivers, traders and now keke
riders in the state has only multiplied social
crisis and hardship for the citizens instead of
solving them as government had falsely made
us to understand. Car, laptop and phone
snatching has returned to town while
kidnapping experiences which were never
entertained here has begun to obtain. We no
longer understand what security and social
crises these anti-people policies are meant to
resolve while, in the opposite, increased
hunger, poverty, prostitution and frustration
mount 'We have also decided to make this
statement in order to dissociate the civil
society community from the sponsored
position of certain government apologists
masquerading as civil society groups who rose
to support the ungodly action of the
government in the aftermath of the widespread
national condemnation of the act. The group
painted a picture that tends to absolve the
government from this crime against humanity,
our constitution and human rights.
'CLO condemns this action in its entirety and
urges the Lagos State House of Assembly to
urgently intervene in the matter and call
Governor Fashola to order. Also, the National
Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the
Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) have copious
roles to play in ensuring that human rights and
the law are not violated with impunity by
governments and powerful persons in the
society. Human rights and the law are abused
because perpetrators are not brought to book.
CLO enjoins the NHRC to begin to document
incidences of human rights violations in
Nigeria with a view to bringing the
perpetrators before the International Criminal
Court where they will not manipulate the
process so that these impunities can abate and
citizens' rights and our law respected.
'We insist that as one of the leading
stakeholders in the struggle against
authoritarian regimes, this is not the kind of
government that we fought to install. Lastly,
violation of human rights will continue until
institutions and individuals entrusted with the
responsibilities to check lawlessness and
abuses live up to their duties and punish the
offenders in line with the provisions of the
law. Nobody is above the law and shall never
be.
'CLO enjoins all men and women of good
conscience, civil society organisations, the
Federal government and its agencies and the
State House of Assembly and the leadership of
ruling party in the state to condemn this crime
and take urgent steps to redress this ugly
trend. Apologies to the victims and adequate
compensations by the Lagos state government
can help reduce rising tensions and found
peace.'

[quote author=Dat~ibo~boi]Nobody want to deliberate on the key issue here, like
The time of the so called deportation
The venue of the so called deportation
The home state of the so called deportation



Patiently waiting for a true Nigeria to criticize these undemocratic nature of the so called deportation saga by our most respected governor {SAN} Baba tunde fashola[/quote]our most respected governor? lol. joke of the decade

@yorubest
fool, why would you continue? bigots are always scared. I will see you in another thread. Ask Gbawe about me

Yorubest: 150% emotions, -50% sense

You're sure dimwitted

You must really be very dull

There's not a single sense in all your posts on this thread. You're a waste of bandwidth

I'm sure you must have a very low self esteem. People who attack others for no reason usually do

And being female makes it even worse, I can imagine the kind of environment you grew up in and what you do for a living

Just note that all sluts will soon be shipped out of our state

bla bla bla says the foolish bigot like Fashola who thinks the Yoruba tribe is by any chance in hell better than any tribe in Nigeria. You have been spreading enough tribal BS lately on nairaland. Your deep envy made you create a silly thread like 'why enugu airport may not be successful'. You have continued to spew Yoruba garbage. its both of us now fool. disciples of bigot Fashola

Yorubest: Once again. 100% emotions, 0% sense

nairaland destitute. keep clowning

alj harem: he is an actor and a Lagos prince. Why are you asking ?

is he one of the hungry actors looking to be fed by the bigot called Fashola?

Yorubest: You are the eediot who can't argue intelligibly

I posted a thought but you couldn't counter it with a superior or even anything close to an intelligent argument

Once again, emotions over intellect

FYI, I don't engage in arguments with people with proven intellectual deficiencies.

you are constituting more nuisance on nairaland lately than the deported folks in Lagos with your senseless and ewedu riddled comments. I didn't propose an argument with you. just give way for intelligent folks to comment. yorubest my black azz!

Yorubest: [b]I read it in today's Punch

He is so on point

Must you come to Lagos? And even when you want to come to Lagos, shouldn't you have an idea of what you want to do?

You just come in, sleep under bridges, beg and make yourself an easy tool for criminality thereby endangering the lives of innocent citizens

[size=18pt]If every jobless Nigerian decided to get on the next bus or truck to Lagos nko?[/size]
(I understand there are about 40million jobless Nigerians)
Why are they not seeing the big picture but getting all emotional about this?

After 14 years of democratic rule, how come the SE hasn't made the zone attractive enough for the jobless youths in Lagos to go back home when Yorubas are moving in droves to Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo following the massive development of infrastructure and industrialization? Even people from the SE are now moving in those directions too. Security and infrastructure drive development which the SW governors have decided to focus on and which is yielding dividends in terms of foreign investments and multimillion dollar investments by Nigerians of Yoruba origin

The citizens of the SE should be blaming their governors for this and not our darling BRF

Nuff said
[/b]

who is this fool, you have been constituting enough nuisance on nairaland lately. I guess the yorubas moving in droves to osun and oyo are part of the thousands deported by the bigot called Fashola. fool. who is olajide kosoko anyway?

[quote author=one.east]That is whole the idea. You cannot achieve that international status without an international cargo/passenger airport in Anambra. Orient Petroleum is bearing most of the cost of the airport project, its strictly on PPP arrangement. Anambra state provided the land and paid the compensation to the host communities. Surveyed and fenced the land and handed it over to the Orient Petroleum for project execution.[/quote]I totally agree with you. Anybody that says Anambra does not need an airport (cargo/passenger) is a fool. people forget how much revenue the govst can make from such in the long run. So we should lose those revenues to Enugu and Asaba?

Absolute rubbish. You are either igbo or Yoruba

get a bf

Dan Anyiam: My question to Austin Akobundu is this: What was PDP stance on the illegal internal deportation? What was the presidency stance on the same subject, as Abati and other loudmouth had been silent. What has PDP govt;s attorney general done since this assault on the constitution by Fashola?

Only a foolish Igbo man will listen to a party that brought us leadership in the past like Ohakim or T. A Orji and still gut the to claim to be a front for Ndigbo. I want Akobundu to tell us which party he belonged at the down of 1999?

Rochas only crime is to exercise his free right of association just like them. Bloody hypocrites.

pdp condemned the senseless deportation heavily both at the national and regional level. Rochas is a certified clown. And so you want us to listen to a party that gave us Fashola, buhari and Tinubu? fool!

op is very correct, Port Harcourt takes the cake for me. As developed as port harcourt is said to be, you still find slums inside the heart of the city (rumuomasi). Its a pity. of course this is not forgetting the single biggest slum in the world - Fashola's Lagos

payless: The same "bigot party" whose Governor (Fashola) fought for an Igbo girl that was beaten in public by some navy officers. Fashola fought for the girl and they were brought to justice. The girl was paid millions for damges few moths later.

The same APC that Fashola belongs to that paid medical bills for the actress called Nwosu when no single Igbo Governor came to her aid when they were neded most. Fashola paid for her treatment in London while Igbo Governors continue to loot their people with impunity.

The same Fashola and APC you called biggots gave many qualified Igbos the chance to serve honourably in their cabinet as commisioners and poilitical aides in Lagos State government. I haven't seen that done by Peter Obi or Orji kalu.

The list goes on.................

you mean Fashola the elitist and bigot. Ladipo, deportation etc. nominating competent hands in his cabinet does not stop him from being a bigot. Obasanjo hates igbos but they were strategic in his cabinet

Dan Anyiam: When will you lose your daftness to understand that all these APC, PDP, APGA, CND etc a re just a vehicle to get political power. They are all the same. Soludo was PDP last time, today he is APGA, Uba has change parties for more than 4 times in the last three months.

let it be on record that I have never supported APGA going by the fraudulent and lackluster performance of Peter Obi in 8 years. I am supporting APGA because of Soludo. we need fresh air in Anambra, soludo's manifesto is inline with my aspirations for Anambra. I could have supported Andy Uba my brother and relations. Besides APGA appeals to ndigbo than that Amala Party. APGA has ruled Abia, Anambra and IMO. IF APC wants to win Anambra let them allow APGA win Lagos.

payless: I won't sit and fold my arms to let any Igbo boy perpetuate lies and go free. Why must you people always blackmail and spread lies against the people you oppose? It is not going to be business as usual anymore.

Then roll of your sleeves and be ready to fight. What are the lies? that APC is a party of bigots and anti-igbos?

Dan Anyiam: If you have issues with Yorubas, that is you cup of tea. I am Igbo both paternal/maternal dating back more than 20 generations and still counting.

Hilarious, are you joe igbokwe, ngige himself or who then. Yes every true igbo has a problem with a drunk yoruba man deporting fellow citizens at the thick of the night

bushwailo: U guys dont notice that is only 2 or 3 of you talking.
Day 3 of this thread an ur still only in the third page.

Go to Ngiges facebook page, look a the number of top Anambra Proffessional brass backing him.
All lagos based Anambrains are backing him.
If you guys show your sorry faces in main market and speak against Ngige you will get lynched.
Women associations, pensioners etc

U guys are here trying to campaign tribalism.
Shameless people !!!

Soludo doesn't even have enough money for campaign.
Look at the sorry reception he got on picking his APGA card.
Look at his living room
The guy is broke
Let him go back to UNN.

Bullocks we shall see at the polls

Who are the tribalists now? They want APC to win Anambra but APGA cannot win Lagos or osun. fools.

Soludo or nothing, none of these candidates even have a manifesto like him. We Anambra people are tired of single lane roads. Anambra needs solid urbanization which the likes of Ngige cannot handle

payless: I am not from Anambra or Igbo. So I don't care who wins in Anambra. Na Anambra people problem to vote who is the best for the job. I am a Lagosian, so I care about who becomes Governor in Lagos.

so how did you miss your way to this thread with your Amala People's Congress (APC)

Absolute nonsense, I want the two yorubas Dan Anyiam and obiagelli aka ileke idi to engage me. APC has no place in igbo politics, the Senate position Ngige has will even be taken by Dora akunyili in 2015. Solidify has sealed this election. In Anambra its APGA vs PDP. As for IMO, Rochas the clown is done. lets watch and see

Fashola proving smart in emptiness, Mr President is #1 citizen and is tasked with upholding and protecting the nations constitution so obi writing Mr. President shows a significant respect, wisdom and diplomacy not like someone that will deport kids by 2:00 am at njght

obitwo: Where did he mention Fashola in the news report? Once again, the illiteracy and typical senselessness of the Igbo DNA plays itself out

shut up you stinking ewedu claws and mouth. We all know those were shots at the most overrated governor in the history of Nigeria, tunde
