Rehabilitating them shouldn't be difficult...!

Those willing and ready to return to their original states and family homes can be put in Night buses with a little cash for bread.

They should go back from whence they came.
Yeah seconded. They need to return home.

That's the responsibility of their state government not Lagos State government.
We can't use our resources for people who's governors are lavishing funds
First they are Nigerians, and there's freedom of movement... You would be surprised majority are lagosians born n bred there... Where would you take them to? Aso Rock?

I don't understand. Are they going to jail them for not being able to afford proper homes or provide homes for them?
Why are you people so naive like this?
Those people are all these Hausa from Nige republic ...they dont rent house, they ride okada, do scrap stealing all electric cables...they sleep on the streets and we all see and are aware of the potential danger they pose...now govt is taking steps to address that, you guys are here ranting

Are we going to wait till Hausa Fulani take over everywhere?
Remember too that most of them are always fully armed with knives and some of them with guns
Are we going to be looking at them till they overwhelmed us?

Even in the US and developed countries there are homeless people and the government did not subject them to this kind of ridicule. The government can take them back to their villages but charging them to court is nasty thing to do

Indigenous people plus resident who live properly and do proper business in Lagos.
And individuals who were born in Lagos.

If there actually lagosians their families might come to bail them then.
Then they should not sleep on the street no more.

Even if your country is a shit hole we should do things that won’t resign the current state to a shit hole.
Prosecuting them for been homeless is wrong

We can't bear responsibility for their misfortune. We have our own natives to cater for.

Some years ago, the robbery in my hood took alot of lives. Unnecessary killing by petty theives using local made gun to kill and Rob 5k.
Not until police raided homeless living people in the hood everything stopped.
They should return to their state. The days of coming to live under bridge in Lagos are over

Stay in your village and develop yourself there, sleeping in the street is hazardous.
Therefore they should be persecuted abi

Tbh, it's not by force to live in Lagos.

If you have fallen a victim of these guys, you won't say this
Some of you on this forum are damaged beyond repair. I made my comment based on the available information on the article posted. Now if you have extra information that's making you rant, either you learn to pass it across in a civilised manner, or keep it to yourself.
