these street hawkers ugly nobe small, they should be arrested and jailed for uglyness

This is shorted sighted and stupid for a state that is obsessed with telling the nation that it is the center of tourism.

Street hawking is unsightly and tourism is largely about aesthetics. No one wants to go to a dirty congested place, especially if they already live in Ibadan or Lagos.

Who wants to dodge street hawkers on the road when on vacation?

Why do these people take to hawking before they take to farming?

Ben Ayade is trying too hard to appeal to poor people and is ignoring the implications of this decision.

When we told some people that there is nothing wrong with hawking they were busy throwing tantrums
The governor killed it with the bolded “Prohibiting hawking is to tell a man that you don't want to give him food,
and you don’t also want him to steal, it is unfair

thats 100% correct, there is nothing wrong with hawking both morally and legally and even socially...i know some nairalanders here dont earn up to 5k a week ut then imagine a hawker who sells atleast 500 galas in a day in the traffic will be making 500× 50= 25000 Naira....lets say his capital is 15,000 naira he still has 10,000 gain....then 10,000×30=300,000 naira a month; assuming you slash the money by even half he still has 150,000 naira gain..thats by far more than what most civil servants earn yet some people will open their dirty mouth to yan dust.


hawking is better than stealing

infact hawking is a business

Mr. Nigeria, if those boys upload their best shot like you did for your profile pic, they will most likely be more handsome than you.

blacksahara:

You are out of tune with reality. Folks like u think of ideas, launch and make profit in your head alone. Why not join the train and hawk gala?
Selling 500 galas a day is not exactly a walk in the park and the profit is no way near what u quoted. 300k profit a month? You really don't know what you're talking about.

BrainnewsNg:

Hmmmmmmmm

jrusky:
This is good move I support it in as much they are not hawking to commit crime I don't see any reason why these innocent ones seeking their daily bread should not be allow to do their hawking. Lagos has be so insensitive about hawking in the name of building a useless mega city people are jobless and hungry but Lagos were busy talking my foot mega city bullshit.

Any time I see these doing their business and are being harrassed it pains me a lot the govt want no criminals and those who left their homes in the morning to stand out there till dawn the same govt still go after them and you don't want criminal isn't

What Lagos forgot was that bit by bot the commercial city of Nigeria they proud themselves about is gradually sinking and being replaced systematically with administrative business and I never see any country or city that want to live on administrative economic and survived its not possible.

Please let the River State legalize it quick when Nigeria needs mega city then we will ask for it but for now let every soul get engage in something that will better his or her life is the priority right now in other to reduce crime and not mega nonsense.

Anyone that has the love of the common man in the street is always my respected fellow because if there are no poor people or low class people there will never be rich people or upper class people so if you suppressed them you have by your own silliness suppressed you livelihood because when the trouble is coming its the rich man house it will first go. Kidnapper will go to market to the kidnap a vulcanizer or shoe cobbler, armed robber will not go to pepper seller and be asking for 10 million naira so that is the way it goes.

Mrscarrott:
Dat's bad

A tale of two governors:

"“We are making provisions for a hawkers’ corridor. There must be a minimum age, you must be 18 and they must be seen to be properly dressed with reflective vests. They must have a time zone of when they come out, so as to be able to make optimal sales because we don’t want them to constitute nuisance in the environment.” - Prof. Ben Ayade

“The issue is we need to enforce our laws because we already have a law in respect of that and then there is a clause in it which says the buyer and the seller are both liable and that we are going to fine them either N90, 000 or a six month jail term." Mr. Abimbola Ambode

Jayceo:
It is high time Intelligent,Patriotic Youths with the interest of Nigerias growth at heart start getting involved. We can't leave the state of Nigeria in the hands of this same criminals we keep recycling.Lets join together and take back our country. Imagine 100,000 youths contribute 50,000 that's already 5 billion naira enough for campaign among other things. We can either assemble a strong force or Join a notable party with the interest of the Nation screened by us. Enough of the Nairaland compalaining and social media rants. Lets get to work youths of Nigeria. The power is in our hands.Lets Restructure the Fiscal federalism of this Nation and Make it great.

Note:- By youths I don't mean small minded,corrupt, tribalistic, visionless youths
