I thought the Nigerian Constitution 1999 defines citizenship on the basis of a "Nigerian nation" and not of its constituent part s (i.e., States or other sub-national unit)? How, then, can a citizen of Nigeria be forcefully removed from one part of Nigeria to another in the name of reducing negative economic and financial impacts (perceived or actual) on a sub-national unit of the country? Does not the Constitution of Nigeria guarantee "free internal exit" and settlement in any part of the country for all Nigerian citizens? Perhaps, in interpreting the Constitution, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has produced case law that supports "internal deportation." If such case law is available, please I would like to be directed to it.

I dont wish to play to the gallery-
Have the Igbos developed Lagos or not-Find out the properties owned by Igbos in Lagos.It settles the question.
Here in Abuja where I live the Igbos own 68 percent of the the landed properties as reported to the media by Mallam Nasir El Rufai.
I am afraid that the young man who wants to become the Governor of Osun State(at all costs perhaps) seeks public verbal assaults on Igbo memory as his only weapon.
Formerly it was Chinua Achebe...Now it is Igbos and Lagos.

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Femi Fani-Kayode: Lagos, the Igbo and the servants of truthI have so many igbo friends and they are quite very reasonable. The problem is just that some igbo guys who cannot even hold there own when it matters always misrepresents the good ones. They are misguided. But really can anybody from other part of the country get what other tribes allow Igbos to get in their igbo land? Its not possible. They should be warned not to cause the problem in Jos in Yoruba land--On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 2:01 AM, Ikhide <xokigbo@yahoo.com> wrote:--"The igbo had little to do with the extraordinary development of Lagos between 1880 right up until today. That is a fact. Other than Ajegunle, Computer Town, Alaba and buying up numerous market stalls in Isale Eko where is their input? Meanwhile the yoruba of the old Western Region and Lagos were very gracious to them and not only allowed them to return after the civil war to claim their properties and jobs but also welcomed them with open arms and allowed them to flourish in our land. This is something that they have never done for our people in the east. Such gestures of love and fraternity were never reciprocated. Now some of them have the effrontery to call Lagos which is our land and the land of our forefathers (I am half Lagosian) "no-man's land" and others have the nerve to assert that up to 50 per cent of the development in Lagos came as a consequence of the input of the igbo. This is utter rubbish."- Femi Fani-KayodeAnd to think this sick buffoon was once a Minister in Nigeria. There is no hope folks, absolutely none.Read more of his sick rant.
