A trip to the National Orthopedic hospital, Igbobi, Lagos will reveal a pathetic situation of victims of Okada accidents. Destinies altered as many on clutches cried in pain as a result of severe orthopedic injuries, while others with spinal cord injuries groan helplessly on wheel chairs. www.vanguardngr.com/2012/11/we-only-restrict-okada-on-475-out-of-9100-roads-opeifa/ |

Ve got no qualms with the decision but pls let's set the record straight. Okada use has not been restricted but tactically banned.. How do u explain the fact that the okadas that are permitted by law to use the remaining 8000+ roads must be at least of model 200cc knowing fully well that "ALL" okadas used in Lagos are not qualified? 1 Like |

These Okada people don suffer ooo...In a street that used to have ten okada people on the average is now populated with about one hundred of them. |

I think is okay due to that analyses, okada has turned so many people to criple in dis country. Let them use d remaining 8000+ road. |

I think govt shld tackle d major causes of traffic (bad roads/pot holes, indiscriminarlte parking of vehicles by private n commercials and breakdown among others) 1st b4 banning okada, as we all know dat Lagos is highly populated with fixed land mass n okada is used during emergencies against traffic: to save lives, meet appointment, meet resumption/ deadline and many others......then enforce. Among d 475 are major links, rendering many of d others useless. Govt needs to review it. 1 Like |

what makes Abuja beautiful is the ban and strict enforcement of no okadas. I think Lagosians should accept this change, 20 yrs ago there were no okadas and we were living our lives, i realy commend el rufai for havin d guts to ban okada, if not Abuja would ve been a complete ghetto by now. Lets also learn to use bicycles or trek atimes they are alot healthier. |

BAN THE BUGGERS COMPLETELY!!! I really don't understand all these silly explanations by Lagos state govt. to these bandits. 90% of these miscreants are foreigners or Igbo and Hausa born throweys, let them bleeping go back to the holes they came from and stop disturbing the peace of Lagos. They are nothing but a menace to society and part time robbers. god punish them all! 2 Likes |

They simply CANNOT ban them completely. The ripple effect may border on catastrophic. People use the fact that a complete ban has been in effect in a few other states as an argument for why they can/should be banned, but you really can't compare any of these states to Lagos. |

secret reasons behind the restriction/banning okada in lagos. it has been a trend for the past 3 to 4 yrs now whereby a truck will be seen entering lagos. on checking whats inside such trucks, u see 10 to 20 motorcyles as well as 20 young and illiterate nigeriens. all these nigeriens just continue flooding the lagos roads and to make matters worse, most of them are nor expert at driving such automobiles. since the lagos govt cannot stop them legally from entering the state, the decision to ban it remains the only option. its not at this time that a southern state will decide to turn its back to mass influx of nigeriens who unknowingly might be affiliated to boko haram.....am not supposed to be revealing all these sha! |

What is all diz fuss about self? I think Fashola shud be commended rather than being villified. While other states including d FCT and most recently Delta hv placed total ban on okada Fashola has only abridged their routes. Or do they prefer a total ban? |

Okada should be BANNED all over sef,I just lost a cousin last week to an okada accident,imagine he fell from a bike and another okada crushed his head,a wife n four kids without a bread winner |

because a problem exists, a solution lies therein. It was observed during d refurbishment of d 3rd mainland bridge that the volume of traffic was less than what obtains post-refurbishment . What happend is dat traffic was diverted for commuters plying the less filled roads . Eg between 00.00 - 12.00 pm commuters frm d island were diverted to other routes aside 3rd mainland bridge . So in essence, if during peak periods ,movement can be diverted for those en route less traffic prone roads |

Lagos should have prepared people's mind for the ban by showing the images of okada accident victims on TV consistently for a certain period of time before the ban. |
