Okada Riders Sue Edo Govt Over Ban by homesteady(m): 2:37am On Jul 02, 2013 |
Commercial motorcycle operations, commonly called Okada in Edo State, have dragged the state government before a Federal High Court sitting in Benin City, challenging the recent ban on their operations by the state government.

It's quite sad that these guys have lost their source of livelihood, but truth be told, they should move on (perhaps to Keke business)rather than engage the govt in a long drawn battle. It wouldn't yield any results in the end. 1 Like |

After he was re-elected. Could that be compensation to the masses. Fashola did the same. I know okada riders will be scared to vote any of these ACNs governors for second term. I will keep watch on Ogun State. 1 Like |

Can't believe some people are fighting to remaìn poor for life, and dnt want to upgrade to taxi's or a different skill. Change is a part of life, every state that had ban Okada only experience the effect for a short time and they have all adapted to the new situation. |

Finally! Someone is thinking I'm not a fan of bikes but Oshiomole went about his ban the wrong way (without adequate notice or alternative) and took it too far by including private bikes in the ban! it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. lets hope the court grants a stay on the ban until the matter is settled. |

Most nigerian governors are clueless. They close one means by which nigerians feed themselves without providing alternative(s). SMH Check out the link in my signature. . .at least no governor can close that one |

The people/group that spearheaded this idea of suing Edo state govt are just wasting a hell of a time. They could have made a meaningful thing with the money they are paying their solicitors. |
Re: Okada Riders Sue Edo Govt Over Ban by stantob(m): 10:09am On Jul 02, 2013 |
Has he provided an alternative means of living for the okada riders before the ban or he just woke up one morning and banned okada thereby increasing unemployment and crime amongs the youth.Leaders should be wise. |
Re: Okada Riders Sue Edo Govt Over Ban by ezedolar: 10:09am On Jul 02, 2013 |
The okada people cannot do any thing. How dear them challenge their Oga at the Top |

bot101:what sympathy are you talking about? They would never win that case. Unless you are talking about sympathizing with them on a lost case. |

godman01: How you wan take win government? Try your luck sha. Its this same defeatist mentality that makes our politicians loot without fear cos they know the common man is too scared to challenge them. Mind you, the court is last hope of the common man. |

Excuse the sentiments please. If he used them for campaign, did he ask them to aid and abet robbery and ritual killings and bank robberies and patronage of CSW? What's so unfair about development and moving forward? Is there just one source of livelihood in that state? I think the Gov should go about it the right way, but the ban on those killer locomotives has come to stay. Here in Lagos, they're higly not missed. |

mollytinrox: Excuse the sentiments please. If he used them for campaign, did he ask them to aid and abet robbery and ritual killings and bank robberies and patronage of CSW? Exactly the point! This mad man gave less than a week notice with no alternative in place! he even banned the private ones too. That's madness if you ask me. |

Security risk or not, in a truly civilized society, nobody wakes up one morning and bans this or that. Its ludicrous! As long as its not in the state or federal statutes, nobody has a right to prevent me from doing whatever i want. Wonder why someone should spend an arm and a leg on getting a bike and then have one drunken idiot in black uniform harass him on the road while going about my truly 'legal' daily job just because of what one drunken, corrupt governor woke up one morning and uttered. Its high time people were made aware of their rights in this country. Its bad enough that the politicians steal all our money and render people to menial jobs like okada riding. To then take away what remains of us that's just criminal. I say sue the governors Ass! 4 Likes |
