The The Commissioner for Transport in Bayelsa State, Marie Ebikake has said that that tricycles will be provided in the next two weeks to enhance the state’s public transportation. She said that the banning of commercial motorcycles(Okada) in Bayelsa state by the state government has been extended to the end of August, 2012.
Ebikake explained that the extension was for motorcyclists to find other jobs.
The state governor, Mr Seriake Dickson had recently blamed motorcycle operators as part of the criminal activities and accidents in the state.

berem: What's the difference anyway? Just one tyre added and it becomes a tricycle! The mentality of the keke/okada riders will not change. Some of them need to be orientated including the ones in lagos. Nice idea though from the Bayelsa State Govt.

sylve11: The aeriel view of these tricycles is what i hate the most.

Sisi_Kill:

Abeg where are you seeing aerial view?

I can't see a single view of anything not to talk of aerial view.

I really wanna know what kinda tricycle they are talking about because when I think of Tricycle this is what comes to mind

Sisi_Kill: Ah! Aerial View

It's seems it's only in Nigeria they call it Keke Napep because all the publications that came up in google were from Naija.

So what is the real English names. . .I'm just curious.

DAY11.:
Just search for KEKE NAPEP...google nor fit talk say e nor sabi ham

dadicvila: Just 1 straight Road from Igbogene to Swhali waterside,do they really need tricycles in yenagoa??seriake Dickson should think of building more roads,especially connecting yenagoa to other LG areas like Ekeremor,Sagbama and More communities in Southern Ijaw LG...The Ogbia-Nembe road should also be giving top priority...police presence and patrols should be increased in the main time to checkmate crime,anybody who knows yenagoa knows the city is too small and has just 1 major road so i wonder why okada should be banned

Pukkah:

But you'll agree that, as small as Yenagoa is, the okadas have become a menace.

sylve11:

The roads in bayelsa are just too tiny; make sure the roads r accomodatating enough then tricycle is the way to go.
