Decryptor: To answer the bolded...Because Fowlshola the Ondo monkey wants to steal the investments of the hardworking Ibos and give it to the yorobbers! That is where we have a problem! Didn't you read the post where innocent people returning from work were just arrested by the so-called KAI just like that and imprisoned for months before they were dumped under the bridge? Well i know you and your fellow yorubastards have read it but as usual and typical of a yorubaboon, you all will not stand for the truth! Let me refresh your memory... My Brother from Canaanland Good job on the insults Lagos is going to be mega-city We will get rid of Kidnappers, Destitutes, Criminals, Drug Traffickers, Prostitutes and relocate them to their states of Origin This is LAGS POLICY and it is here to stay ( Please read the letter from Fashola to P.OBO) This is AN ONGOING EXERCISE We do not care whose ox will be gored the LASG carried out similar reunification exercises to other Yoruba and Hausa states Interestingly, your states in Cannanland have similar policies EnigmAries: Posted by Orient Dailyon March 28, 2013in Features, News| 34 Comments Ekpone Francis/Odogwu Christian On Wednesday, no fewer than 200 beggars were arrested in and around Anambra state capital by a combined team of social workers and security agents led by the Ministry of Women Affairs, Anambra state. That day, beggars who ordinarily were “blind,” “deaf” and “dumb”, saw, heard and spoke while running for their dear lives. At Abagana, a blind woman with her guide was arrested. Thesupposedly blind beggar had suddenly “regained” her sight, tearing race andwould in fact have beaten those that came to arrest her but for the timely intervention of some vigilante operatives. At Amawbia, a man from Nise, who allegedly built a house and trains his children even up to the university education level with proceeds from his begging, was arrested. The man, apparently in his early 70s, claimed that he can’t leave begging until he dies. Hewas, however, picked up by the Women Affairs Ministry team. At the popular UNIZIK junction and Eke Awka axis, beggars ran as far as their legs could carry them. Two boys, apparently in their mid-twenties, were seen begging with all tenacity of purpose. They were bold. When the two were accosted by the social workers, they fiercely resisted arrest but for the collective effort of the security operatives. They were well dressed wielding phones and carrying a laminated picture of a woman called Chizoba from Nsukka who was purportedly suffering from stomach cancer. The two boys were begging in the name of this cancer patient who, according to them, was at Enugu. These “special brand” of beggars had not the least remorse for the trade they had chosen, wondering why on earth anybody should arrest them when they were running a legitimate charity venture registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). The two “corporate” beggars gave their names as Anichebe Okwudili from Eziaguin Enugu State and Onyebuchi Ona (who initially gave his name as Ekene) from Udi, Enugu State. They were purportedly begging for certain Humanitarian Welfare Rescue Mission with headquarters in Abuja. However, the documents they wielded while begging bore the name “Good Seed International Association.” They gave the name of their boss as one Mesika who they claimed lives at Enugu and known to every social worker. On the other hand, they identified their boss at Onitsha as a Pastor with Office atIsabella Hotel in the town. Effort to get the said pastor was, however, still confronting confusion as at the time of filing this report. The man at Enugu switched off after initially begging through phone that his boys be released as his organization is registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission for begging. The beggars said their lowest daily earning is N11, 000 which is usuallydivided among them, the organization and the patients they were begging for. Confirming the arrest, Director, Social Welfare, Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs Rose Udeagbara, said the beggars were takenoff the streets during an operation to clear the streets of the capital city of beggars and destitutes but the arrested persons have been sent to the vocationaland rehabilitation centre at Nteje. Mrs Udeagbara informed that at the vocational centre, the social workers took documentation of the arrested persons to enable them either rehabilitate them in any of the skill acquisition centres in the state or repatriate and reunite them with their families. She admitted that some will be sent to psychiatric hospital before reintegration.Udeagbara affirmed that the Governor Peter Obi administration, since coming on board seven years ago, has not closed its eyes on any of the sectors or segments of the society, including mad people. In her remarks earlier, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Lady Henrietta Agbata, insisted that families should takecare of their member, that are challenged mentally or otherwise to avoid beggars constituting nuisance in the state. Agbata reiterated that Anambra state indigenes are not known for begging andthat most of the beggars came from neighbouring states, influencing Anambra indigenes to start learning to beg. “You can see that many of these beggars are from outside Anambra mainly Enugu, Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom states. We have most people from the Northern Nigeria and other states based on the previous raids; even some came in from Niger Republic. “They are causing nuisance and littering the streets even when Anambra state indigenes are not used to begging. We would repatriate non-indigenes and rehabilitate those that are in that category by empowering them with skillswithin six months. They should stop molesting people and people should try and contain their family members.” But Useni Mohammed from Niger Republic, who said he is 16 years, has a father who is a driver at Onitsha that gives him minimum daily target to meet from begging. He said he has a twin sister and that the two are known as”Emeka” and “Amaka” and that theywere born at Onitsha. Another beggar, Mr Joseph Eze from Achi, Enugu state, informed that he was a businessman based in Yola before he had an accident that forced him into begging sequel to lack of assistance. He appealed for N300, 000 to be given to him by the Anambra state government toget himself fixed in a business but warned that nobody should give him anything less than N300,000 as such would not be enough for him. Similarly, Alice Okeke, 37, from Nimo, Anambra State and a staff member of Anambra State Waste Management Agency (ASWAMA) who uses her disableddaughter to beg, claimed they got N500 everyday as transport after her sweeping job. The raid tagged, “Clearing of Beggars/Destitute off the Streets, Roads, Markets and Public Places,” was commended by a public commentator and member Management Committee Market 3 Eke Awka, Mr Onyenwe Anagor. He said that what Governor Peter Obi-ledstate government is doing to clear beggars from the streets is good because they constitute nuisance. He, however, appealed to the state government to rehabilitate the beggars and the destitute. Principal of the Vocational/Rehabilitation Centre, Nteje, Mrs Chinyere Iguomu, said although the home has about 32 students who are challenged and about 18 destitute people, they were on holiday now. It was, however, observed that the students of the centre were not being taken care of by the state government asthey were promised. The students, although physically/or mentally challenged, still fend for themselves. If the raid remains consistent and the team equally visits Onitsha and Nnewi aswell as other emerging cities in Anambra, much more could be achieved in urban renewal by the Obi-led administration. http://orientnewspaper.com/meet-beggars-registered-by-corporate-affairs-commission-as-women-affairs-ministry-heals-blind-deaf-in-anambra/ |

Decryptor: Buhahahahahahaahaha! Thank God you said "statistically" and not "physically"... I once visited one useless place in osun state where my cousin was posted to do her service called iwo. U need to see the kind of poverty i saw in that place. When i came, little kids in the area with running noses and faeces on their αяѕє area were following me and touching my denim trousers (which they have never seen before) as if i was some sort of a god! I was like WTF! The shanty God-forsaken place had no pipe-borne water and their water source was a guinea-worm infested pond which made my cousin fall ill! I came there for the sole purpose of escorting her to Ogoja in Cross-River where we worked her re-deployment. There is no electricity there, no good roads, the schools were over-grown with weed and they lived in huts! No single house had an aluminum roof on it! I have never seen such level of poverty in my life. I only thought it was places like Sudan you see such things. I told a relative when i came back home and he said that the reason why it is like that is not far-fetched. The so-called LG chairmen spend funds which would have bettered the life of these people on owambe and girlfriends. He also said that it was not only in iwo but all other parts of the south west. And this møгøn here is talking about development! Come to the most remote villages in the SE and you will see that it is better than the state capitals of all SE states put together except Lagos! Why except lagos? Cos the Ibos gave it a midas touch. Thank you for giving us your own interpretation of the state of affairs Thank you for your insults By the way, have you ever being told that you are the consummate writer? This is a brilliant write-up, just that no paragraphs Only one observation Ohaneze- if the SE is Eldorado and flows with Milk and Honey- which means Igboland is modern day Canaan ( I will inform Geographic Channel) Why are you all hyperventilating when your people were reunited with their families at the Upper Iweka Bridge? Now we know Igboland is Canaan We will face reality and continue to develop our land EKO O NI BAJE FUN GBOGBO OMO ODUA AMIN |

manny4life: If you are using NL as a yardstick, then you have a lot to learn The actual reality is Nigeria as a nation is here to stay but there will calibrations in our relationship Igbos dont support Yorubas when we ask for fiscal federalism and issues such as regional police etc but it will end up being the case -eventually. This issue we are all fighting over a la the so called "deportation" of Igbo people from Lagos is what happens in the USA where you claim to reside. New york city periodically sends American citizens who are not fit to be viable residents back to their state of origin. As you are well aware, some SE states have carried out similar actions but no huge Igbo outcry. It smacks of hypocrisy As you have rightly acknowledged, it is time we respect each other- it is farcical that Lagos provides an enabling environment for Igbo traders to conduct their business and they refuse to respect our customary laws. It might seem trivial but tradition is very important to every society, when your brothers insist and threaten to disobey our laws then it becomes emotive and leads to the situation we face right now. Do you think most Yorubas on NL care about Baba Oloja?? No, but the fact that your brothers are willing to disregard our tradition however unimportant it might be to us is a big problem. I can categorically assure you that most Yorubas are peace loving and are definitely not tribalists contrary to what you guys think but some comments and behavior become untenable and when it gets to that point- it is very problematic. |

manny4life: That is partly true but Igbos are the prime reason why Nigerians are vilified There are four reasons why the International community have a problem with Nigeria: 1. Drug Peddling- Igbos are the indisputable champions at this 2. 419/fraud- mixed results between the ethnic groups but Igbos have a share of over 65% 3. Foreign Prostitution- Our Mid- west people thrive at this but Igbo are catching up fast 4. Corruption- this is where we have national collective responsibility Essentially Igbos have contributed the Lion share of the negative image Nigeria has today. Too much get rich quick attitude without considering the implications. As for your rambling about Paramo ventures, I think you do not even have the full facts to be able to make any definitive conclusion or statement. It is still early days and our government is sorting it out Remember you are dealing with a very intelligent lawyer who has taught P.OBI a very steep lesson 1 Like |

manny4life: I totally disagree with you. The problem is not Igbos have come to invest and make a better life for themselves in Lagos and other places, but their inability to overcome their pride and inferiority complex which they usually mask with false bravado. Now Manny, how come Igbos have a problem in every place they populate? For example they are vilified in SA, Kenya, Indonesia, China, Malaysia etc etc. Now Yorubas and Ibos have always had a suspicious love-hate relationship but we have always tried to be civil with you. After the civil war, most ibos returned to their property in Lagos, but when you decide to disregard our customary laws and have this false sense of part ownership of our land- then it becomes very problematic 1 Like |
