thelastPope: Why are they not migrating to Calabar? Was it not once a capital? Same Cross river has ban Okada riders. Must people live under your stair case and say they live in lagos. I really await the Lagos residence ID card by January. |

thelastPope: @lost pope, you became lost on the "other thread" and resumed here to continue to spew thrash. I will never support outright ban of Okada riders because the effect will be catastrophic on the high number of riders in Lagos. I have canvassed for this position strongly on previous related threads. Be that as it may, they must be regulated, i trust an average nigerian, (s)he believes a new law is just a joke that can not be implemented, except brute force is applied initially, some certain laws can not be implemented in Nigeria. it is clear in the new traffic law, if your bike is caught, it will be confiscated. Once the bike has been confiscated, it ceases to belong to the owner, Government then decides on what to do with it. If Government burns it, auction it, crush it, or ,,,,,,,, It doesnt matter any longer. 1 Like |

emiye: My brother, maybe you are actually correct, but pray, please do tell us why this brute force is not being applied to the Abgeros and Touts forcefully collecting money from commercial buses, bikes and Maruwas all over the state. The new traffic law clearly criminalize their activities, yet government is just letting them be. 1 Like |

senbonzakura_kageyoshi: @lolo, the BRT service was extremely necessary and, while i admit it was squeezed into an already congested road, i must say i have no regrets about it. Fashola's only option would have been to expand the road, which would have been quite expensive and would have involved a whole lot of demolition as most of the buildings along the stretch from western avenue all the way to Ketu virtually hug the road. not to talk of the internet warriors that would come here to declare fashola the demolishing dictator. You have a strong point. But I never liked the idea of limiting lanes exclusively for BRT buses. |

Probably people on NL are not facing reality, transport fair was greatly inflated yesterday, imagine from ikeja along to egbeda was 500 from 100 and no buses to even convey people, people where trecking from ikeja along to dopemu under bridge, banning of okadas on the express is entirely not a bad idea but what has the government done to coverup for the okadas, I feel this is not the right time for okada bans, |

Sometimes I just pity Lagos. Country is not moving well and Lagos has to suffer for incompetence at the federal level. |

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. Its not just major roads. Its on every road and none could work yesterday. Vans are on ground packing bike.they are saying abt 500 but its not soo. Its like total banned. |

a friend who broke a femur bone to okada accident narrated his experience at Igbobi. He said 95% of people there are as a result of okada accidents and that new patients arrive there daily he told the story of a guy who woke up after 2 days coma, only to be told his right arm broke in 3 places, his right leg broke also in 5 places, on hearing the story, the guy died instantly. He said it was like his spirit came back only to check if the body can still be pieced together and reusable on knowing the status, he left his body. even the okada rider survived the accident with just a broken radius bone |

CLIQBOY: when fashola start naw..ppl go dey complain..che na only lagos ban okada..what about imo,bayelsa and others?U can't compare lagos with any other state in d federation. How many hold up do u av else where? As at 2006 there are 20 vehicles per kilometer while lagos has 222 per kilometer. So many pple depend on bikes if de av to beat time to resume at work not because de dont av cars. . . . . . . |
