In Lagos, Keke Marwa became very prevalent on roads after the ban on Okada activities in Lagos state.

They were considered a blessing – especially to those who plied routes that Okadas were prohibited from plying.

Sadly, Keke Marwa has become a terror on wheels on our roads.

Over time, Keke Marwa has degenerated into a terrible nightmare for road users in Lagos. They have become prime sources of trauma to commuters and other motorists.

These terror on the road have become notorious for reckless over-speeding, disobeying traffic rules and meandering through every available space between vehicles on snarled- up traffic situations,  leaving paint marks on other vehicles, etc. Clearly, Keke Marwa poses a great danger to the lives of those boarding it.



Some are wont to call for its outright ban. However, another school of thought believes a ban on Keke Marwa would lead Lagos state lead to a great traffic fiasco.

Indeed, Lagos state, with an incredible reputation for traffic gridlocks, is in a dilemma.

What do you think should be done to check the excesses of the Keke Marwa menace?

Just like Micra drivers in Ibadan. The problem is with the drivers trying dangerously to meet up a daily target, as most are acquired through hire purchase from a microfinance with interest rates as High as 25% and late payment penalties. Failure to meet up payments usually means forfeiture of the tricycle and previous payments, State governments really need to step up their games on Mass transport systems, like metro buses and tramcars

The reason for the recklessness of the commercial Tricycle operators is simple: Poor regulation and enforcement of the law.

They should ban it.

Nigerians are very ungrateful. They keep shouting development but not ready to embrace it. India has more than 100million keke in their country, and their economy is booming. Why can't we emulate the increase in keke so that our economy will also grow?.

God bless Buba Marwa for introducing this great economic achievement.


I will sign an Executive order to make the importation of keke duty-free, so that i can create more jobs for graduates like i promised in 2015.

A safer alternative to Okada in my view. And in areas I'm familiar with, they don't compete for main lanes of the road with cars, they only manouvre through the side spaces that would have hardly been useful to cars anyway.

I don't see them as menace.

Those days we thought Tipper driver are crazy until Danfo Driver came to awa midst

Dat one neva do, we dey manage d craze wey dey d danfo driver like dat, until okada arrive, den we realise dat Danfo are a frends


dat one sef neva do, we try and cope wit okada, until dis keke came fully, den we are now begging for dem to banned dem, if we did not accept dem like dat


wat will show up after dis will be brutal

Expect more Keke on our roads seems it is the last hope of Buhari's impoverished citizens.




Jubril Al-Sudani is a disaster.

Thanks for this piece. Honestly, kèké drivers are something on our roads nowadays. I think their operation seriously needs to be well regulated. And if not possible, they should be banned!

Or Trailer overtake it beside 3rd Mainland bridge.
Bye bye

Na

There is no fender or bumber in Lagos state without Marwa marks.

We are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Whenever I am driving i hate coming across them, especially in traffic. But i can never forget the night i hired one to take me from Abule Egba to Ikeja at night. Dude made the journey through the crazy traffic in a few minutes. I am sure cars stuck in that traffic will take at least 2hrs for the same journey.

Perhaps a ban on major roads?

Una don come again.

Okay buh how?
I mean how?

Not without government providing Jobs for them. We have graduate among them.
So if they ban it, what do you want them to be doing?

As bad as these keke drivers are, these aboki okada men that have taken over Lagos are far worse.

Na people livelihoods oh


The world is not only for rich people

I hate keke marwa. I even feel okada is safer. They never use their side mirrors. Even where their side mirrors are located can't make them see. They ride as their spirits lead which is so dangerous. Only God saves people in this country. No sensible regulations.

Ok...very good

Here in Anambra state, the use of Keke over motorcycles has been a blessing that is still celebrated till today. Before the ban of motorcycles in Anambra state, the rate of accidents and crime was so high as to be happening almost everyday but now it is no longer so.

Lol.. this thread is gonna get diverse views o
