It is just shameful how we delve into everything without investigating.
I do not support any person blindly or party like a bat.
Today I tried to clearly state that when people are rehabilitated as Social Workers we work with Doctors to get them united with their families, people refused to believe or even find out if that was true.
Now the Lagos State Government has produced evidence of communication with Anambra State Government back dated to 9th of April where the processes were clearly outlined and Anambra State even asked for details which was provided.
The Anambra State Governor should fire his Health and Social Welfare Commissioners for not knowing their jobs and making him make a total fool of himself.
Its just sad that we go to school and don't learn anything.
I try to stay abreast with world social welfare best practices even though I live in Nigeria, I tried to explain how we get to reunite people with their families.
Just like the ‪#‎childnotbride‬# issue we jump in without being informed.
How do we ask for good governance when we don't even know what it means?
Where should the rehabilitated people be taken to?
They have families, people travel all the time, things don't work out they turn to drugs, if they are rehabilitated the best practice is to get them home or united with families so they can monitor their health drug adherence and process.
Why is that hard to understand?
Should they have been dumped back under the streets to keep taking drugs after so much money spent on rehab?

Deportation of some non-indigenes from lagos is taking another dimension and it is important to look at things from another angle.

It would be foolhardy for Lagos state govt to do things that are not backed my law and Lagos have said, we didn't deport them, we re-united them with their families.

1,Most people don't even know that, street begging ,roaming, hawking are prohibited on major roads in Lagos therefore, hawking on those highways is illegal. E.g, ikorodu road, lekki epe express road, falomo and kingsway road, abeokuta expressway, marina etc. Yet, you see these boys shouting; Gala, pure water in those places!!!!! So when you are caught hawking in those places, you go face am!

2, No sentiment in law and I support people challenging the legality of the deportation carried out by Lagos state govt. When you feel, your basic human rights are trampled upon please, go to court.

3, According to reports, once you are caught, you are given 3 options
A, be rehabilitated
B, go to jail
C, be re united with your family.

4, In some places, roaming and constituting nuisance are offences backed by law. It is your duties to explain/ prove that, you DIDN'T commit one or both offences.

5, I acknowledge the sharp practices of KAI officials whereby, they torture you and make your life miserable if you don't have money to "roger" them thereby, complicating issues for the victims.

6, I am yet to see where Lagos state govt arrest, prosecute,detain and deport people doing legitimate businesses in Idumota Market, Aspamda, Ladipo etc.

7, We should not tribalise this exercise rather, concentration should be, how do we build a better Nigeria?

Please, correct me if I am wrong

Thank you

Na wah ooo!

Justice is meant to whip the poor in line! The rich would forever be above the law

Judisharing can only flex muscle when poor people are involved!

Sorry convicts, next time don't steal mosquito nets. Steal atleast, N100,000,000,000 and trust me, you'll walk home high and mighty.

Whaoooo! Some raw energy to sue the dead! LOL

I am going to sue satan for deceiving Eve to eat the fruit! I am also going to sue Adam for his gullibility for collecting the fruit from eve. What nonsense!!!!!!

I pray the court at the hague to set aside a motion that,

1, Adam and mankind shouldn't be punished for his gullibility

2, Eve alone should be punished
3, Satan is in big trouble.

Thank you my Lord!

Bush meat don catch hunter!

My concentration is on the candidate and his/her personalities!

Well, formal registration of APC gives another name to political competition in Nigeria. These parties should all slug it out at the poll.

Make una give us genuine manifesto that is achievable mehn, I aint falling for rhetorics.

To the APC guys, let the race begin

Thanks Bob.

Lagos state said, we didn't deport, we re-united and really, I don't know what to say again oooo.

According to reports, the exercise wasn't targetted at my South East people alone and I think, this issue should not be personalised!!! Again, we should not bring ethnicity into this.

Some people were sent back to osun as well, Yoruba!!!! Some to the northern parts.

They were initially rehabilitated and were given three options
1, Go to jail for roaming the streets and for the fact that, you have constituted nuisance.
2, Accept to be rehabilitated
3, Accept to be re united to your families.

This is what I think, (personal opinion) Lagos is struggling to survive- population wise and Lagos came up with a strategy, let's purge lagos of some people that have no reasons to be here.

Again, how come lagos state govt hasn't deported anybody(Ndigbos) from Ladipo market, Aspamda, Idumota?

Really, we should not tribalise this exercise and please, correct me if I dey wrong oooo.

Thanks

A.r.S.e hunters on the loose! This is a serious gobe! Lord, safe us from "yanshh bangers" oooo. Amen.

Sorry Mr. Okah and Keyamo, you nor kill person with laugh oooo @ sustained attention!

The parents said, the world is full of evil!!

Which evil is bigger? Locking your children away from proper upbringing, right to proper education, interaction, health and adequate care and the evil world they will survive with right tutorials and orientation?

Na wah for this parents ooo!

Yeah. To support Afam's point, odewingie has got no swag at all. Swag is about carriage, disposition, style and you know what I mean. Yes, odewingie can buy jimmy boy 1000 times over.

So swag goes to Jimmy boy
Cash goes to odewiegie.

Whaooo! I thought Amechi would be crushed like a cockroack they said?

I reserve my other comments until we further confirm the authenticity of this story.

The lesson is, whatever you do in life, be consistent, calculative and strategic!! Focus on your end point, the glory is yours.

Enegod: op..i'm 67
you need to add it there for me to like. thanks for your understanding

There's 51 and above there please, check.

Watch Your Friends . As written By Aidy Thomas.


No one can dispute the you needs me, I need you philosophy of life . Man was never created to be an Island: dependence and mutual existence has been a cord holding life and world together.



Nations with nations, continents with others, the need to tap and learn from each other has grown the world to a global village. Opening doors for people of other races to live in your domain means you value what they’ve got and are ready to share yours with them too.



A person who claims to be friends only with self will either be extremely poor or too frustrated to stay alive—we need each other. People make you great; others make you feel great, even the high and mighty will not be so if there were no subordinates to stoke their ego. If there were no people to admire, jealous, celebrate and notice your progress, the motivation to achieve would be gone.



Now, with this level of desire and need for someone to call a friend, you need to be extremely careful to choose who to share your precious life with. Many relationships have been made and marred by the influence of friends. The fact that we cannot see the heart nor know the thoughts of others make even the very adventure of friendship a difficult one. Should you take people by their words? Should you trust your instinct of ‘face value’ when choosing friends? Does kindness have a role to play? Does giving and receiving gifts mean things are looking up for ties? Direct, open approach for friendship may look vulnerable but is it worth considering that genuine people can also come asking for our hands in friendship.



However, whenever or whatever method friendship commences, one has to be clear on certain issues.



1. Not all who come as friends are really friends: Don’t be deceived by how people present themselves as nice and friendly folks to be trusted and loved. It’s a deep shame to know that some only come close to you so they can know more about you and then use the information to deal with you. I’ve had a bitter experience before with colleagues who are the same race with me in a foreign land.



Naturally, meeting and working with someone who shares the same national with you gives a sigh of relief, or so I thought. The questions posted to me as we first met were mistaken to be genuine concern of getting to know a ‘sister’ at work place and I answered them but with a lot of reservations because I’m a private person and that consciousness sticks. Sooner than I could imagine, my matter was on the office floor and everyone knew where I was coming from career wise and every other thing I told her including what I never said or thought of saying- she lied about me heavily. Is there any point to say I was disappointed? I learnt a lesson I can’t share in this short article and today I’m wiser, more careful, much more discrete, and highly diplomatic in my expressions especially when your intentions are still on my scale. I never got back to fight her but handled it with maturity and the result was amazing.



2. Jealousy can bring some people closer to you: This is so dangerous. To start with, the motivation for friendship is wrong and it’s most times hidden; you on the receiving end might be totally unaware of the games played on you. With clear mind and conscience, you reveal your secrets and invite a devourer to dine with you, and what do you expect? You’ll soon be the prey.



They could either be jealous that you are where you are and desire to rub shoulders with you or they might want to gain access so your fall will be quick and sure. In an age where social networking is taking over sharing images, you should be careful who takes pictures with you and for what reasons. Desperate people post pictures of their dream relationships within seconds of having them. They are actually making statements with those posts and would keep the archives till most needed.



Now, making a fortune from sexual blackmail is on the rise. How would you ever know that an arm thrown around someone while taking pictures could be used against you in the court of law? Computer technique of mixing and matching pictures has even made the matter worse. You can be made to appear in pictures at occasions you never attended.



3. Friendship out of pity could be deadly: Most times you get carried away when people come up with cock and bull stories of how they were maltreated and bullied by other people. Your instinct tells you “you can play a big sister/brother to this wounded soul”. Before long, you find yourself throwing in almost all you’ve got to make them happy and ‘heal’ quickly without knowing you are preparing yourself to be their next victim.



The truth therefore is that it’s not really others who hurt them but they who cause problems for all. There is nothing wrong with helping people in trouble but don’t be too quick to give them your heart and emotions. When Sofia took the decision to relocate a young single mother who had stories of woes that touched the heart, she thought it was a good decision but when the person she was helping turned against her, she never lived to tell the full stories —only close friends knew her regrets.

4. Question friendships that push too hard: I prefer friendships that grow gradually as we learn more about each other and gradually build trust to strengthen the course. People with ulterior motive can be patient when following up on their catch but most times they are too much in a hurry to achieve their goal. Fear that goes with evil makes them feel their prey might either escape, be delivered by knowledge or be taken over by others who are smarter than them so they gather every arsenal at their disposition to ensure quick success.



5. People are attracted to what you are or who you are: Friends in need they say are ‘friends indeed’. It’s difficult for people who come around you for selfish reasons to there for you at all times. If they cannot get what they thought you could offer, things begin to fall apart and friends finally turn foes. You become an object of ridicule, gossip, blackmail, insult and attack. It’s a lot easier for friends who hang out with you for who you are to appreciate and accommodate you more. Moving with you is a privilege not a benevolent attraction with manipulations and great demand.
