And what i spoke about has nothing to do with human lives? Which is more important? Good roads or absence of okada.

I think you're a combo of Stevie Wonder + a beauty of illiteracy. Ode!

something tell me that you and all your family members are okada riders.
sorry oo. i understand your fear. but make you try understand what fashola is saying. the ban on okada is not a total ban. it is just to ban them from plying certain route like the express ways. no be fashola fault say u and all ur family no go school. olodo

Palliative measures should have been in place before this useless decision. In Abuja that all of you scream, You can get a cab for as low as #200.00. How much is a cab in Lagos ?

We will keep going backward if we support a policy only because it does not affect us. We are just lucky, it could have been us riding the Okada.

Very fool1sh and selfish people. They were quick to gather at the Gani Fawehinmi park when paying for fuel from their pocket is to eat deep into their finance but any other policy that does not Directly affect them is ok.

and why did u ask such a silly question without answering his own first? Do u have the statistics of those who have died on our poorly maintained roads, number of those who died in robbery attacks because of insecurity? Have they banned govt? Have u tot about the reason why ppl will prefer to chatter a bike from ikorodu to obalende instead of boarding a bus? Bikes are in operation in other countries. They have low records of bike accidents because they have good roads.

i still don't know why most lagosian find it hard to see the good side of why fashola impose a restriction of route on okadas. the ban only stop them from taking certain routes like the express. why on earth must you take a bike from ikorodu to obalende if you consider the risk. the fact that it has never happened to you does not mean that it is not happening. abeg, prevention is better that cure.

my friend do you know that some lastma, kai, and police have started using this medium to steal bike from the rider if you enter inside egan in lagos, their was almost a chaos when police men attempted to take away somebody's bike, its no ideal in a so-called lagos.

check out most of the okada riders. some of them have no business in lagos. majority come from niger republic and chad. do you mean that lagosians will not survive without okada in lagos.
also try to understand that the ban is only for those of them dangerously plying the expressways.

So u expect the govt to sanitize your house for you... Is it the duty of govt to force you to sleep under mosquito net net after giving it to every household free of charge. What have you contribute to the development of lagos and i will tell u atleast 50 project which lasg have done successfully.

dammytosh: Silly excuse as usual.

How many casualties from Air craft? Any Ban ? Dana was even declared the best airline.

How many casualties from cars ?

How many casualties from convoys of people in power.


The bottom line is that you must strive to be rich in Nigeria if you can't steal big.

I remember posting during subsidy crisis that Leave it or Remove it. Only the POOR masses will suffer.

People are facing real hardship because of this policy. Instead of calling a spade a spade some people are busy seeing it as PDP vs ACN.

Palliative measures should have been in place before this useless decision. In Abuja that all of you scream, You can get a cab for as low as #200.00. How much is a cab in Lagos ?

We will keep going backward if we support a policy only because it does not affect us. We are just lucky, it could have been us riding the Okada.


Very fool1sh and selfish people. They were quick to gather at the Gani Fawehinmi park when paying for fuel from their pocket is to eat deep into their finance but any other policy that does not Directly affect them is ok.

You are the one that is foolish and stupid! Cos dana airline suspension was lifted by FG, Fashola shouldnt do his work to protect lives and properties? Okada accident rate in lagos is higher than rate of illness/disease.

Reminds me of d bike accident I had in august last year during my service in nasarawa state, the guy was trying to overtake stupidly and had a head on with an on coming car which got my ankle twisted, had tort I would be deformed, thank God 4 the surgeon who corrected it. Though i still have pains while walking cos there is still screw inside. I'd wished it never happened. A friends brother was buried on monday from a similar but more fatal incident. Still it hasn't stopped me from jumping it but am more carefull and not always in a hurry to ascertain his sanity. Am in control of d speed limit too.

In as much as i detest the ban on Okadas in lagos, lets look at it from this other side as i have this to say;
The ban on okada on some lagos roads is one of fashola's best policy. Not because of the type of menace they cause on our roads. Not because of the accidents they cause on a daily basis, but majorly because of the drain it has on young men who should be productive. I see young men who should be learning one craft or the other riding okada just to get fast money. Days before okada, you see young men learn carpentry, mechanical techniques, plumbing, etc. Now we import artisans from neighboring countries. For the future of this nation, don't just ban okada, ban street trading too, ban recharge card sales by these young men. Only lazy men will see no other job other than street tradIng and okada riding . What happened to farming, tailoring, plumbing, carpentry? Our bane as a country has always been people looking for fast money.

My advice to all okada riders is pls adhere strictly to rule. Don't go near forbidden routes and if law says you should not ride at certain time please adhere to this also.
This will also help compulsory early birds. Those who are to report as early as 6am in VI office while they live in Agbado. No car loan to assist such employees. By the time they such unfortunate ones could not meet up because okada won't operate until 7am. Such unfriendly attitude from employer will be reviewed positively.

D last time i checked,LASG only banned okada riders frm plying some routes in Lag.Wha if dere is an outright ban?What would Fashola benefit frm this ban?Absolutely nothing.He's only protecting us frm d numerous risks associated wt riding bike on some routes nd some of us r saying no.At least 1 person is killed or injured by okada accident in Lagos everyday.
Re: Okada Accidents Killed 107 In Two Years – LASG by Nobody: 10:25am On Oct 26, 2012
The funny thing is that pretentious and selfish 'rich' people suddenly seem to be more concerned about victims of Okada accidents than the 'poor' people themselves who patronise these Okadas. When did Nigeria's middle and upper classes become so 'caring' and altruistic? Since we are suddenly so worried about the rate of Okada accidents, one would think that the real everyday people/masses who are most at risk would champion this policy and hail Fashola's decision. Why is this not the case? Oh, I get it. The masses are ignorant fools who do not know what is good for them, so it is left for few of us that are privileged to tell the majority masses what is good for them, whether they like it or not.

Let's wait and see how the ACN would retain Lagos in a free and fair election in 2015. Shebi it is this same 'ignorant' masses that would vote for them? Or maybe they would rely on the votes of the indifferent and arrogant middle and upper classes that constitute less than 10% of the populace.
