The most hateful policy in this country actually turned out to be the most foolish policy. This is why everyone should live in love.
Two governors, Lagos State and Rivers State actually spent their state money to deport Igbos back to Igbo land.This action can only be carried out by people who have traits of ethnic cleansing and hatred towards Ndi Igbo.
If an Igbo commits a crime in your state, punish him according to the law. As a state governor, the allocations given to you by the Federal Governmnet is for everybody resident in your state. That is what the law says.
This action can be equated with the pogrom that took place before the war where Igbos were seen as a problem wherever they reside.
Some of these people were young boys doing nwa boy in Ladipo and Oso Aya in Alaba. Except your definition of destitution is hawking in traffic and doing nwa boy at Ladipo Market while even poor even governments like Jigawa have a robust rehabilitation program for destitution.
Now this why hatred can make you do foolish things. See how their hatred turned into foolishness.
How do you deport people when you have no control of entry and exit into your state? There are no borders between your states and other states.
You don't have an immigration to screen the people you are deporting.There is no means of identify the people in case they return.
Consequently, the Igbos they deported just spent a few days with their kinsmen and the next day they are back in Lagos and Porthatcourt hustling . When they discovered their deep folly, they were ashamed. But they still have plans.
If these people have a nose, they will take snuff. If they have more opportunities , they will entrench a policy to back up their previous foolish actions.
Today they are prancing up and down chanting change change. One of them got so emotionally charged towards Igbos that he couldn't help himself. He openly said this in a rally in Portharcourt:
''President Jonathan has developed Abia, and Imo but he refused to develop Rivers. ARE WE BIAFRANS?" This was Rotimi Amaechi.
Then a few days later in a campaign in Abia State, he told the people ''Afam bu Chibuike, Abum Onye Igbo, Ana ma asu igbo . Onwere onye si na agh a ya bu Ebele. Juoya ma ona su igbo" ( Meaning, my name is Chibuike, I am Igbo, I speak Igbo, Somebody said his name is Ebele, ask him to speak Igbo)
Open your eyes.
These people do not believe in one Nigeria. They'd make it a law that poor Igbos can't cross into urban towns like lagos and Portharcourt . Their policy of deporting is actually a clue that they have no clue to alleviate poverty and create wealth for the poor. In the north, governors like Sule Lamido, with very meagre resources have policies that cater for the less privilege by building their capacities and giving them interest free loans.
These people have already issued you a warning of what they will do.Remember that the history of the past is the key to the understanding of the future.
I wish Igbo APC members can defend these actions.
Vote wisely .
REPLY THEM WITH YOUR VOTES.
