Breaking: Rivers State Deports 113 Non-Indegenes To Their Home States

some-beggars-in-a-nIgerian-cityNigeria’s Rivers state government has sent to their home states, some of the 113 beggars and lunatics removed from the streets of Port-Harcourt, the capital city. And the state has warned it will soon embark on another removal exercise.

The Chairman of the committee, Mr Mina Jamabo, said of the 113 beggars, destitute and lunatics removed from the streets,some had been taken to the state’s rehabilitation centres for treatment.

Jamabo said that non-indigenes had since been repatriated to their various states, while the indigenes would be treated by the government until they were fit to re-unite with their families.

Jambo did not give the figure of the destitute sent to their home states.

Mrs Stella Toby, Permanent Secretary in the state’s Ministry of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation however unfurled government fresh plans to remove beggars and destitute from streets in the state.

She made the announcement in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt on Monday.

She said that beggars, destitute and mentally-ill people were constituting problems on some major streets and roads in the state.

Toby said the State Government had set up a special committee charged with the responsibility of restoring sanity on major areas of the state.

“Most of the beggars are from neighbouring states and I can assure you that they will be removed from the streets and repatriated back to their respective states,” she said.

A similar exercise by the Lagos State Government recently generated bad blood between Governor Raji Fashola and Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State. Fashola’s government had sent home 14 rehabilitated destitute to Onitsha in Anambra state.

      NIGERIANS BE CAREFUL WITH ALL THIS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL AGENTS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL LEAVE NIGERIA FOR BRITISH ONLY TO FIND YOURSELF IN MALI OR SENEGAL AND IF YOU ARE UNFORTUNATE, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN PRISON FOR DRUGS, AS THEY MAY LIKELY PLANT DRUGS INTO YOUR LUGGAGE’S OR SEND TO YOU AS A PARCEL

      DON’T SAY YOU WHERE NOT WORN, BECAUSE SOME OF YOU ARE LIKE ZOMBIES AS IF YOUR ANCESTORS HAVE COURSED YOU.

  1. Good work Ameachi, send them to their various states to continue their destitution there instead of littering the streets. Most of them are simply lazy maggots that don’t want to farm. We must learn to appreciate what we have instead of turning ourselves to beggars & constituting nuisance to the society and government. As long as we keep on giving token to the people on the street, we are simply encouraging them to remain on the street. I hope all the governors of other states will take suite, as this is a positive step that will remove criminals who pretend to be destitute & beggars from our streets.

  2. I want to hear from my igbo activists now. Or are thy all dead? They only shout when it is done by a yoruba man. T.a orji sacked non indigens in his cabinet- no problem. Gov obi deported pple from akwa ibom-no problem. Obi orders hausa and yoruba to vacate their markets in onitsha-no problem.11 hausa traders were shot by soldiers in the process-no probblem. Boko haram killled some igbo traders-thy shout to high heavens. Fashola deports 14 igbos-thy cry like babies. Nzeogwu kaduna killed all northern top military personel in the igbo coup- no problem. The northerners retaliated- thy resulted to civil war,as thy claim it is genocide. When will u pple stop being biased and always playin the victim card? U pple need to grow lest u remain victims for the rest of ur life
