You and your fellow elitists are hypocrites! So you think everyone just came to lagos abi? People have been living here for up to 3 or 4 generations. I am sure you just came in from Ekiti like 5 years ago and you are talking urban migration. What do you know about migration. For your information, a majority of those who migrate to Lagos are relatives and dependants of those who already live here. People came here because it was the federal capital of Nigeria for decades. If Akwa Ibom or Jos was the capital for the same period, people will still have migrated there. Stop spewing this your Alausa elitist crap! And for the umpteenth time, stop destroying their Okadas. Give it back to them. Nazis!!!

thelastPope:

Dude, I don't think you live in naija. There is probably around a police to citizens ratio of 1 to 1000 people in Lagos. In the last 2 years, there has been an increase in arm robbery attacks in residential estates in Lagos.

The one big mistake Fashola is making is that he thinks people will return to their villages or something like that. The guy is deluded and cut off from reality. These peeps are going no where and will only because security risks to the state.

Jenams: the guy is one of my critically demented patients, for sneakin online to yarn dust, i will giv him overdose that will send him straight to his forefathers.

Jenams: OMG! wat r u doin online u dis psychiatric patient in my clinic? what r u doin in the city u mor.on? are u nt fit for d same agricultural sector? how u take beta pass those wey dey village wit dis kind brain wey u carry? asnwer me! SHOUTS ANGRILY, answer me now b4 i giv u injection wey go kill u!

texazzpete: Hallmarks of a lazy Government.

You haven't solved the terrible traffic gridlocks that keep folks on the road for hours...making Okada a much faster means of transport for short distances. You haven't adequately exploited rail and water transport schemes to get more folks off the congested roads. You haven't taken a critical look at the numbers of folks plying Okadas and estimated how many thousands of cars and buses would enter the roads to offset this number (thereby increasing congestion). You haven't asked yourself how the tens of thousands of Okada riders are supposed to find work now with their means of livelihood gone.

And you want to remove Okadas.

The bigger cretins are the elitist, narrow minded and myopic Lagos motorists who support a proposed ban. These m0r0ns don't realize that the inconvenience of seeing these admittedly pesky Okadas is nothing compared to the massive increase in traffic from the increased number of buses, keke and cabs to cater for the Okada riding crowd.

Iolo:

Increase in robberies in which estates and areas exactly? Don't give us half truths as facts.

Wizeboy:


Fashola might be going wrong on other issues in Lagos State... but I think he really get this right. Since one of the responsibilities why we elect him there is to SAFE-GUARD the life(s) and properties of the people of Lagos State.

There is no country of the world (been USA, England, Russia or any other developed countries) that does not experience traffic on their major road, so its not peculiar to either Lagos or Africa alone. And traffic is not always caused by bad roads alone as those other developed countries hardly have bad roads.

Banning them of Expressway is to protect the life of the riders and people riding it, we cant continue loosing some many life on a daily basis again.

DAY11.:


Thats the meaning of PROGRESS, remember that not everyone will have the capacity to enjoy the onset of a progress. Making a mega city all diz thing must go, I feel for them sah!..But Okada must go!

acidtalk: There are certainly Pros and Cons in this Okada of a thing.
But The Cons out weighs the Pros in multitudes.

A friend just called me up that men on motorbike attacked his church member in surulere yesterday and even shot her.

Kabikala: Lagos State did not ban Okada. They only limited their areas and times of operation which makes sense in a city like Lagos. You only need to visit an Orthopaedic Ward in major Nigerian cities to know the number of lives that have been ruined by Okada. I support Lagos State in stopping Okada riders from plying major roads and operating at night.

take dat: I'll ignore the Ekiti part cos that is a figment of your imagination.

For those who migrated to Lagos because it was the federal capital, guess what? Abuja is now the FCT so they can move their Okada business there and let's see if the FCT. Authority will condone the recklessness and the unruly behaviour associated with Lagos Okada riders.

Iolo: It is only in Nigeria that people see the unlawful as lawful and go on to protest when a right thinking government decides to correct things.

Same thing happened to the Oshodi make-over and people were complaining then, but are praising the decision today.

Truth is that Okadas have no business plying state/inter-city routes. Taking a bike from Oshodi to Cele, or from Maryland to Ikorodu, or Yaba to Ojota is madness that should be nipped in the bud.

No bikes on expressways. That's what prevails in any sane society.

Someone should correct me if am wrong.

Restriction is NOT equal to Ban na!

sizzlinghottie: I agree on progress but what plan has been put in place to support this people? What jobs hve been created? Graduate no see job na okada man lol. Expect crime rate in lagos to increase if not is done to cushion this.
