Okada Ban...wow by Coolcalmcollect(m): 7:49am On Feb 01, 2020
Woke up this morning to find the whole apapa almost bike free, saw many of them already dismantling their bike and getting it ready to have it loaded on some flour lorries back to the north most likely.
The most painful thing in all these is the the fact that I had to walk from tin can island to barracks area b, to get a bus, usually I just take bike and end of story. LASG made it possible to waste an additional 27mins of my time this morning, which was supposed to be a 5 mins bike ride.
How kind of govt. put an end to something when there's clearly no visible alternative?
How about stopping planes from flying cos they also get involved in accidents.
For those of you supporting the bike ban, don't worry, drive your cars, when that crucial moment comes when youre stucked in traffic and need to get a bike as usual, walai you will miss that flight and contract cos you supported this ban.

My brother, I go miss them o. Govt should provide palliatives. But this was sudden and it's going to affect a lot of people but riders and commuters.

I'm telling you, the London they are trying to copy, have metro train, they've got good roads, they've got tram, etc....yet these ones removed the only means of transportation that can navigate into places cars, lag buses, yellow buses can't get to.
right now in Lagos it's risky to leave home earlier Dan 5:30am cos you will get robbed or get home later Dan 10pm....how do people navigate tru tight schedule? do dey even do social impact assessment before they roll out bans? just annoying. I know of people dat left their drivers in the car taking them to the airport to board bikes just so to navigate tru the airport traffic now all dat will be gone and that guy above is saying we should get used to it. well o don't blame you, you've probably don't have a job nor any need to ever keep a tight schedule in your life how will the ban affect you. smh
