How can the repairs of 49 damaged BRT buses whose glasses were probably broken and perhaps some tyres deflated by angry protester cost one hundred and thirty nine million naira?? None was burnt or engines vandalized..how much is the cost of procuring one Bunch of Oles angry

What we should understand is that there's proper insurance (not d oluwole type we get for ours!) on each vehicle and its going to cost both sides (govt and insurer) formally because the auto company that'll repair will quote astronomically (that's their way). So, yes, its could cost hundred of millions because insurance on heavy duty cars dey cost.

I still disagree with the cost and the 49 busses

Taking area boys outta d Street not d solution, but making them useful for themselves is d point.

Di's is a crazy policy.. I mean crazy ...who is advising dis govt sef? So u mean Di's street hawkers will have 90,000 and dey will choose to do a risky biz of running after vehicles for like 3km before dey can sell N50 gala ..? And before u can take dem out of e street u have to provide alternative for dem but Di's govt does not care about DAT..I even expected DAT d kai should be seriously sanctioned for causing d death of d hawker as dey have been warned severally not to chase offenders who r trying to evade arrest by running on d road as running after dem can cause worse havoc ,& DAT was exactly wat happened yesterday..

Thieves enter a bank, and took away 20million naira, then the manager and 2 other staffs planned there way too by keeping 80million naira to themselves just immediately after the successful robbery, then announcing to the public that 100million was taken away. Who is the thief here?

Your excellency sir, i quite agrée that with your plans to ban street trading and hawking in the metroplis, but i am disappointed wth the manner the govt. is going about it, with the resultant death that also led to the destruction of properties belonging to the state govt., the apologies came a bit too late but the insincererity on the part of your administration over death of that young man was exposed by the réeling out of those figures you claimed was the
cost of the damages inflicted by the mob on the states assets. My advise to you is to build enough prison to açcomodate the defaulters thank you.
it really touched me too, is he now saying that the 139m is worth more than the boy's life? End street hawking without jobs! Just be ready to see crime rate rise to the sky.

Crime has it consequences.
that you are comfortable doesn't mean others are. Government is for all and must accommodate all. Many will be displaced of their only means of livelihood, whr do dey start from? Is govt ready to arrest over 10,000 people doing street hawking? Which prison will accommodate dem? This policy will fail before 2months.

You know, APC wants to make Lagos (other state they govern) a modern, fancy state (city): No motor cycle, no hawking, light rail service, heavy taxation, . . . A befitting city for fancy people.
Now, no problem with that, except that Lagos is already occupied by people from every strata of the society.
The challenge here is non-sophisticated people have no place in the Lagos dreamt by APC, they are to be deported, locked away, forced or frustrated out of the city.
The question is what does the people in Lagos want? One thing is sure, the government might find itself in trouble if it doesn't allow Lagosian to decide if they want a fancy city or not.

For people of lower-socioeconomic, Lagos will only get worse (basically more expensive) for you! So, make up your mind,
1) Go back to your home town or
2) Go to jail for little things
90% of tax collected from people to make it a fancy state don't av their state of origin as Lagos state. So if everybody leaves, where will Lagos get tax money from to make it a fancy state.

Libya paid $10 million dollars for each of the 270 victims of the lockerbie bombing, and here we are listening to a very insensitive reaction to the loss of that young man's life from his excellency, again how did they arrive at the cost of putting those buses back on yhe lane within 48hrs?. Like i ealier posited they should expand the prison infrastructure by building new ones or the governor may have embatked on a wild goose chase.

Ambode , we want you build more correction centers where those hawkers can be trained then send them to job or a welfare system has to be in place. If not, more heads will row.

I heard this on TVC today.


...in so far as the government do all it can to sensitise the people, the instruction would be duly obeyed. N90,000 fine is too much to sacrifice on the altar of ignorance. In fact, if these hawkers have N90,000 somewhere, they likely won't be on the road trading.

It's not a new law I believe it was introduced by Tinubu in 2006

In enforcing this law the state government should also make provisions for an alternative for these hawkers who rely on this business solely for their daily bread!

Beyond creating a business friendly environment and good governance which Lagos has always given it's citizens it has no obligations to the hawkers. Everyone who can't survive should find their square root out of Lagos. There are plenty cities in Nigeria

Abeg shut it.. Lagosians do want a clean deconjested and fancy city. Hawking has always been illegal under the law now it is being enforced.

Can't blame you for getting me wrong earlier. Look at the post again.

But, hey! manners make a man. Watch your mouth, kid.

FYI, I don't like Lagos as it is now, I don't live there either. Best of both worlds here.

People need to pay tax anywhere they are. Government in other cities don't tax very well because they don't want to be accountable and productive; "To whom NOT MUCH given, NOT MUCH should be expected"
