You see

Gosh,of course reduced numbers of event is likely to result in reduced numbers of occurrence

spinna:
Good report for once..
But what about the roads themselves

Let us ask Sanwo-Ole and his JagaBandit godfather who has stashed the money in his bullion vans.

Actually when the government of cross river state banned okada, i noticed the level of accident dropped.
I really noticed it.
So whenever i travel to places where they use okada, i wont enter it.i prefer keke

Naturally that's what to expect.

May I just ask if the Hausa/Fulani riders along Badagry road lords of their own? Is Badagry road not part of the banned roads? The whole length of the road starting from Orile is completely overrun by these people and the citizens seem totally helpless. Our Police watch them without taking actions to preserve the law banning them. The traffic along that axis is worsened by the nuisance behaviour of these aboki okada riders.

Since the ban there has been total peace in Lagos but we seen the daring ones around Ipaja/Dopemu areas coming out. Trekking has reduced as water has found its level.

It appears like the ban was placed on supposedly big men areas. Please there should be total ban in the whole of Lagos. Those who live in Ikotun - Igando have been having serious issues with the Hausa/Fulani who have taken their bikes there.

Government please ban these people in the whole length and breath of Lagos. Anyone who disagrees with this must be selfish and wicked.

This Okada mode of transportation started in the then rural areas in Lagos in the 80s with government looking the other way. Now people have embraced the rubbish and don't want it to stop.

Mega cities all over the world do not have okadas neither do they have irresponsible unions like NURTW. The union must be banned, danfos must be banned as Ambode originally planned and then sanity and peace would be restored on Lagos roads.

Well the reduction in accidents is welcome, but they should urgently seek out alternatives.

Was in Lagos over the weekend and didn't find it funny. Ikeja to Opebi and you have to wait for buses . . .

Ban okada, ban danfo. Then what do Lagosians use? Uber??

Massive drop in Okada accident? This is hilarious. Wont there drop before? Abi spiritual okada still dey ply the roads?

budaatum:
It is actually funny that banned okada cannot have accident lol!

God Bless you plenty. Some people that don't understand English will come and be hailing them now . How can you sack me from work and still lament that I am absent?

Very good

haaaaaaaaa:
I still entered Okada from Iyana Ipaja to Oshodi yesterday morning.
Journey of two one hour with traffic reduced to 10minutes.
That's the essence.

You must be one of a fan of something must kill a man

Thank you Sanwo Olu

I mean, without bikes on the roads, it stands to reason that yes, you’d have fewer bike accidents. But that’s no reason to ban it. After all, nobody’s calling for a complete ban on cars in Lagos to prevent vehicle accidents.

9jaRealist:



Okada is NOT banned...

Okada is restricted in 6 LGAs (16 LCDAs) out of 37 LGAs (57 LCDAs) in Lagos State....
That there's been such a SIGNIFICANT effect (far more than simply a proportional result) validates the policy!

Lagos does not have 37 LGA's

Miss Billionaire.. hope you’re paying your maid/gateman/cleaner N30k... those need okada to survive

As a trainee trauma surgeon, I need lots of hands on to perfect my skills #bringourokadaback

Neurotika:
"The Lagos State Government has affirmed that there has been a massive drop in the rate of fatal accidents involving commercial motorcycles". Lol. It's like saying there has been no plane crash since the ban on airplanes. A no brainer.

I don't understand this government's specific kind of stupidity but I do admire their total commitment to it.

Stupidity? Really?

Perhaps you should know that okada still ply off highway roads. The drop in deaths is therefore not due to to the absence of okada but rather a reduction in accidents between okada and fast moving vehicles and trailers. Reduce the encounter, reduce the death rate. I am sure you know the difference between speed limits on highways and residential areas as well as the difference between the types of vehicles commonly found on each.

All of which makes your comment quite curious.

Go back to your village and continue doing your Okada riding job there. Or were you sent to come and kill all Lagosians with Okada accident? Go back to your village.

Foolishness. What's the job of government other than to regulate? Why can't Okada and kekes be regulated with all the Police, LASTMA, KAI, Road safety, and even Amotekun on the road?

Okada and Keke are not banned, but restricted

You sound confused... what is regulation ? Government enacted a law , then enforced the law. What regulation do you want again?

this report is so foolish and stupid, it's like banning noodles and after a month saying there has been a reduction in noodles consumption....isnt this govt mad like dis? we're askiNg alternative means of transportation you're saying fewer people have died from using what you banned. Feb is almost over and yet no plan, e ma sofo ni

No do not misunderstand it friend. Government first must take charge of the transport sector. Governments needs to strengthen Lagos state transport service. Many buses are needed to cover Lagos. Train service and water transport must be effective to meet the demands of the citizens. These are non negotiable. With danfo we are witnessing the negative effect of abdication of its responsibility by government.

Danfos are nuisances and must all be cleared off our streets. My friend the confidence and ill mannerisms of NURTW members would vanish.

Taxis have always been there as they are in other parts of the world. Do you find them consituting nuisances? Same goes for Uber. They are meant for those who can afford them.

You are the one confused.

Why ban instead of regulate?

Enforcing outright ban is just plain laziness

Ogun State should follow IMMEDIATELY starting from Sango-Ota axis cos those driven out of Lagos are trooping there on hourly basis and perpetrating all forms of crime from bag snatching to armed robbery
