Report from Abuja Nigeria reveals that over 700 sex workers who reside in Abuja have been rounded up by the authority and deported back to their home states. The idea and reason was to sanitise the city and reduce the scourge of sexual immorality rampart in the capital of Nigeria. We should not forget that a Nigerian governor once attributed Meningococcal meningitis to sexual immorality.
This is not the first time one state capital is arresting and deporting fellow Nigerians from other states. It is as if Nigeria is not a country because in a true country or even a federation, citizens have the right to live and work in any part of the nation without fear of being told to leave or being arrested and sent home. Why is it that Nigeria is resisting integration and resisting disintegration. Something is terribly wrong some where because the last deportation took place in the so called centre of excellence :Lagos .
The sad part of the problem is that civil right activists, pastors and educated Nigerians do not normally react to human right abuses in Nigeria because it has become a norm. The issue of exposure is another thing. Some body Like Nnamdi Kanu the Biafra activist had to live abroad for many years before he realised that the country Nigeria is dysfunctional.
