Seriously, are you telling me that if former President Obasanjo is seen in Lagos State, he will be deported to Ogun State or Anambra State as in the original post. I find your argument completely out of logic. No one is referencing neither the UN or the US in this argument. This is the kind of argument that drives apartheid, segregation of people without true reason.

Civic responsibility of a citizen versus freedom of a citizen to exist and reside anywhere within the country, please tell me which one comes first. Existence or Action which one presides the other. TO BE or TO DO which one is more pertinent. Before we embark upon any action we must exist, without existence no action can be carried out.

As a result, I ask for the reason why these people should not be allowed to exist. What were their actions or inactions that made them not responsible as Lagosians? What is the civic responsibility of Lagosians? Very rhetorical, I will answer that for you. The civic responsibility of Lagosians is to deny other Lagosians their right to exist. If these people violated any laws and codes of Lagos, then they should face proper prosecution and incarceration if possible; not deportation to MARS.

The only difference between the action of Lagos State Government and an Abortionist trade is murder. Lagos State Government has in every sense of humanity and logic denied these people the opportunity to exist.

Consequently, I stand on my point that this is a violation of the Nigerian citizenry.

I don't understand the legality of this action. Let us ignore the issue of being Anambra or not.

Does Lagos State Government has the right to deport Nigerians from Lagos?
What legal data does Lagos have classify these people as non-Lagosians?
On what criteria did the Lagos decide to deport people from Lagos?
When did Lagos State start its immigration policy and immigration commission?
Do Nigerians require PASSPORT or VISA to visit Lagos?


Now responding to the tribalistic post.
Having lived in the Lagos for two years before relocating to a more relaxed part of the country, I must say that Anambra people and Ndigbo in general are numerous in population Lagos and they are gainfully employed in businesses. On one of my visits to the trade-fair complex, I noticed that all the shops I visited where owned/operated by Igbo people except for two - one by an Efik-Ibibio and the other was a Chinese. On another note, most of the less able people in Lagos (if not all of them)are not of Igbo origin; consequently, I find it beyond logical comprehension that Lagos State will convey less able people in nine buses to Anambra State without proper identification.

If Lagos is a big city as it claims, it should have started a program to rehabilitate or support these individuals rather than deporting them to Anambra state.

Some is trying to recreate the world.

To be candid, I don't know the guys U saw are massob or not. But there are a lot criminal gangs operating in Onitsha & Aba.

chai! O boy! nice one OP!

I recall one night coming back from work at about 10:30pm - 11pm after going through the terrible Lagos traffic; my ex called, without discussing anything she said "Give me N1500 recharge card". Was like WTF, you be 'wynch', told her to go 4uck herself.

Very repulsive & stuup1d title.

Which president of any nation would not want the economic hub city of the his/her to country progress?
In the UK, Cameron voted against EU polices so as to protect the City of London; note there is a London Mayor - Boris. Even Sarkozy - French president then was very critical of Cameron accussing him of creating two-speed Europe.
Nigerians are filled with so much hatred, a situation that requires co-operation, we get politicized and tribalised.
Finally this thread will not affect the price of G4rrrrri & ewudu soup.

afam4eva: It can't possibly be because i've seen numerous northerners bearing that name.

Those are the numerous sons of Okonkwo - Okonkwosons = Kwankwaso. lol

saw this on facebook earlier.

this is why eba team should not be banned.

A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent.

The position of the African's is the position of the pawns. Africa will never get over the subordination until is emerges as a queen. But how can African achieve this when they are at the disposal of the super-power.

I find it difficult to understand the veggie philosophy. They eat living things too. Tree are living things, they've got feelings. They bleed when cut.

Back to topic
Finding a common ground is the key.

make love people not war

To be candid PHCN workers are the architects of Nigeria's underdevelopment.

Couldn't believe my eyes only I looked deeper.

This guy, don't tell me you schooled in the SS region; precisely, Choba. Nevertheless, your argument is very valid. I served in the North, I never witnessed tribal division amongst them. Having come from the south, I have experienced lots of divisions amongst the southerners; deep down in the SS, there is a lot of division.[quote author=Akanbi_edu]It's convenient to blame the colonialists but not the southerners that are divisionist in nature. Even from this website, we can see that those groups you mentioned are one. There are so many groups in the north, with their differences but they don't make issues out of it. You don't see them fighting one another based on ethnic divisions. The kanuri in Borno have reservations against the hausa, likewise the fulanis in N-east. Was it not recently ijaw elders were calling for ethnic-based geopolitical zones? When last did you see northern elites fighting for hausa, fulani, kanuri etc as a group? They always mention north unlike our "educated southern elites" who are always calling for Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Ogoni. These guys don't even have enough respect for minorities.

These are the pressure groups in the south; Ohaneze, Yoruba council of Elders, and recently izon has joined. When you make demands based on ethnicity, you automatically alienate others who are not part of your group.So which pressure group do we have in the north?-Arewa consultative forum- meaning northern CF. you can see how this covers everybody in the north including even the Yorubas there. Apart from Kwara and Kogi, almost everybody in the north speak hausa.

These guys don't go about dividing themselves and yet you blame the colonialists for making them a majurity.

@post

I don't know really because these guys have mixed up so much that you can hardly tell. and official census are not done along ethnic lines.[/quote]

he was in Monlisa Chinda's party recently with an afro head

how does this affect the cost of living?

Why is there no tribal bashing in this thread? Or is there some unseen hands deleting the bashing posts? Seriously, if this was committed somewhere else; this thread will heat five pages in less than one hour.

There is so much stupidity in NL. People against this gesture are doing so because of tribal-jealousy.

The biggest crap I have ever read. I think someone is trying to play the Yorubas.

Nice move.

I expect tribalists to come here use their progressive-counter-logic-arguments to go against the closure of the markets.
