If I hear, trust me it's worse, they even use road block, professional wheeled cart to block road, carry anything to the east, the money you will spend to settle boys is usually different.

In Lagos, once you carry mopol, you are good to go, over there, even with mopol, you will pay, or they will set your truck on fire.

Anytime I am taking truck there, we will have to wait till 10pm or sometimes 12am so many will be off the road.

For those that have been to Anambra. The headquarter of Agberos is in Onitsha. Straight from headbridges, to Uga junction, to Plastic market , down to Asaba park, Lagos park, Nitel, upper Iweka, down flyover, Owerri road, Tarzan. Biafran market

With your travelling bag in your hand, they will harass you , from junction to junction. From one ticket boy to another
But these are same people who will be quick to burn a phone thief alive,yet they themselves are not different.Government so much believes that without the agberos , they can't collect their revenue, which is a big lie.The most painful aspect of this is that, the government that installed the agberos cannot regulate or control their activities.Governance is not all about revenue generation, but all about peace, security, prosperity and development
Immediately they stop you, they begin to ransack your belongings,

You would have thought there were no touts in Igboland! Agbero has always been treated as a Yoruba affair.

The Agberos can be tamed. When Buba Marwa was the military administrator of Lagos, he made sure they disappeared. They only resurfaced a day before the handover to civilian rule on 28th of May 1999.

Irete26:
Eastern Agbero is worse, visited that part of Nigeria about eight different times and my experience hasn’t been palatable, to me their thugs are worse than Lagos. I’m talking from experience!

Belleful:
I use to think warri agberos were brutal, not until I started plying warri to Onitsha. Those agberos have degrees in wickedness. Any street u drive pass, u pay. if ur car boot open small, u pay. If u re in Keke and carry ur bag on ur lap, u pay. If u carry ur load on ur head, u pay. I have witness were some lorry drivers run over some of them. I have see tipper drivers block the express road to protest. I have never seen were u pay to drive pass any street in all the places I have travel to. Only in Onitsha. Ndi agberos I hail de

Na Lagos be their headache

tobolos:
I told a friend yesterday that Lagos Agbero still dey learn work compared to the ones in the East. I can't forget the day my girlfriend (now wife) was forcefully put in a vehicle at Onitsha. I was just helpless that day. So many ugly experiences I can't forget in a lifetime.

Those condemning Lagos Agbero are myopic in their sense of judgement probably they don't go beyond their zones.


Chk ur past comments, u said u rather die than step foot in the barren east, that lgbo women are ugly. Today u are now claiming to hve visited and hve lgbo wife. The way Yoruba man cooks up story to win online arguments is incredible

longifilis:


They stole my phone at Onitsha, I lost some valuables as well. Bullshit

Which nollywood movie is this because am interested

MasterTeeUSA:
I was speaking to someone about this issue of Agberos, and I told the person...Governance is like whac-a-mole. If you solve one problem, another rises. That is why I was praying GRV does not win because he would have turned Lagos into chaos...even those in Lekki would not be able to stay clear of major issues.

If you eliminate Agberos, what will you do with thousands of guys? Retrain then...some of them are drug addicts and drunkards...there is a reason they are doing agberos and I doubt they can do any formal education. What about artisan work? Have you seen some of these guys..you think they will learn plumbing or agriculture and wait for harvest and yields or for someone to call them for work before they can eat?

Lock them up in Jail...how many prisons will you build, how many staff, cost of feeding them and getting all of them through the court systems would be a major disaster.

So should we just accept this norm...NO

1. You normalize them like Lagos agreed to do...Lagos should print the tickets

2. Allow these guys to sell them - maybe 500 tickets @ N1000 = N50,000; Private vehicles can pay N100 per day...that is N2k - N3k per month and it will be used to pay for people to maintain roads, clean gutters, and so on.

3. Pay them daily - like N5000 (N100,000 weekdays) which is 10% of the total take in and their Ogas will take N2500 (5%) per person

4. Create a hierarchy of leadership - One oga will have like 10 guys under in covering major areas...so Oga will cash in N500,000 monthly

5. This process for this Team will generate N42,500 per person (85%) which is N8.5million monthly (Salary N1.5m from Revenue intake of N10m monthly) for one area...Lagos can easily have 500 of these areas raking in N5billion and N60 billion annually. Anambra, Onitsha can do the same and the money will be channels to fix roads, drainages and revamp the markets.

6. Give or take the Govt can play with the figures and bring in 70-75% and increase the payment for Oga or boys or Ticket sale

7. You can also sell Morning, Afternoon, and Evening and use different sets of boys so you generate 3 times the revenue, multiply the employment by 3 and use 2 sets of Ogas or Same...

8. They will have distinct wears that they pick up at the Oga in the morning, afternoon or evening and they can switch them so it will be difficult for copycats to make them or have companies that will supply them these wears with random colors weekly.

9. These will eliminate the fake agberos and also provide employment chain for the uniform or vest suppliers...they will also take care of the dry cleaning needs.

10. Youths need employment..money must flow...you need to cater to different types of people. Eliminating them is not the answer.

StOla:
Tinubu is to blame as usual.

They leave their erosion problems in the East while worrying about potholes in Lagos.

Owo mi da?

Someone should translate it to Igbo.

VeeVeeMyLuv:

Are these guys not capable of being reformed?

Are they unreformable? Can't their minds be reprogrammed, retrained?

Invitationn:

This is insightful and spot on as a temporary measure.
However, in the long term, the government should start taking steps to collapse the system by making sure our children don’t end up as Agberos. If we can’t correct the current situation of Agberos we should be able to correct the chances of having similar situation after this current generation of Agberos are gone.

Godsonkemz:
Government is the course and sponsor of all these agbero illegal operations in the name of revenue collection. How do you lease a revenue franchise to a staunch cultist/agbero who employ fellow agbero to make sure he recover with excess profit the money he paid to government to secure such position.
