Never bring a man down if you can't help him up. These guys are trying to survive in a country that offers them nothing . Where the leaders are a group of greedy corrupt criminals .

You took away okada riding from then now they are surviving as dispatch riders , yet you are complaining again?

What works in Nigeria really? Show me one politician from your president who disobeys court orders to any local government councillor that obeys the laws!

Yes they are rough on the roads but caution anyone whenever you can while remembering,that person is a father , a husband, a brother trying to feed his family instead of engaging in crime like you government who sit and steal with their pens.

I respect a reckless dispatch rider anytime any day over any governmental official. Because he is earning an honest living while the government just steal !!

Live and let live! Don't give a dog a bad name just to justify your planned murder of the same dog




God bless you. Regulate them. That's best not barn.

Your justification for thier reckless driving is not only irresponsible but also appalling.
Yes,the govt banned okada due to this same reckless driving,which has sent so many people to thier early grave and crippled so many for life .
These delivery drivers are suppose to be corperate drivers , who are expected to drive with all sense of caution and safety while driving . Considering the reason why commercial motorcycle was banned in the first place .
This is the reason why your kind have continued to flout the laws of the land and breaking all the rules of driving because you expect govt to cone and teach you how to drive or put a chips in your brain to calm your testosterone down when driving .
So, the govt is now responsible for thier reckless driving, because okada was banned ? Did the govt mandate them to drive like man people on the road, without any care in the world for the safety of other commuters on the road ?.
Your kind is the reason why the future of this country remains bleak for the youth .

There is an evil spirit/adrenaline that pushes bike riders -- it is transnational, tribe less, raceless. They can't just behave normal.

You should call for regulation not ban.

And there's nothing to comprehend in your post except you justifying their recklessness.

Shut up there
Been sentimental over rubbish... Of what use is a job if you endangering the lives of others and yourself.

No body is saying they are not hardworking but it's daft and stupid of them to drive recklessly...

One hit a young Lady some weeks back, the formatting he got from people ehhn... I am sure he will never in his life sit on a bike..

In as much as it would be considered progress having moved from fire to frying pan in regards the motorcycle menace one faces in Lagos on Highways especially the lekki corridors, but with the dispatch riders, the apple really has not fallen far from the tree.

In all Honesty, one thinks the Dispatch rider menace is growing rapidly out of hand, these people are reckless drivers, it's more like 80% of "Okada" riders metamorphosed with their terrible attitude to dispatch riders.

They drive their bikes with reckless abandon and cross highways like they own the road while auto drivers are peasants, they want to maneuver in the littlest crack even if it would cost scratches and dents on the car beside it, they hit your car when you warn them about the space being small while suggesting they look for a better route..

They form a swarm of bees if you eventually decide to take it out on anyone of them..

They barely observe auto pointers even lack common sense judgement on vehicular movements..

Forcing a passenger in between the rider and the dispatch box..

Most carry goods way bigger than the dispatch box : with no side mirrors, making them ride like headless chickens at an uncontrollable speed if a car decides to swerve avoiding an object.

No respect to traffic lights: I purposely almost hit one the other day, because obviously he must have thought the cars at the red lights are really stupid.

The other day one was racing with a car not considering he is just riding on two wheels with tires filled with hot air, I slowed down to let him pass and he had this delight and smirk on his face like he had won the champions league.

There should be a law on bikes sticking to the right side of the highway, that way motorist knows to give room for them...

Here is a thread of one almost killed, yet another on same express hailing Nairamarley..
https://www.nairaland.com/6519785/dispatch-rider-almost-crushed-tanker

In the attached picture, what is dispatch doing between a car and a truck on a 14lanes lekki tailgate expressway..
What is wrong with you? You would always find fault in others. These are people and businesses serving society but to you, they are the menace. I am sure you gave a job, so let others work to feed their families. If you don't have any stats to show then shut up. In your lengthy article, you couldn't point to any stats to show that these people are more reckless than any other driver on the road.

You obviously don't care. Anyone including you can make any false claim without the numbers to back it up. I could even claim that most accidents are caused by bicycles and soon people start to believe it. This wouldn't be the first time people have believed false claims.
