eddyland:
na wah o, as Adams has nw bannd okada in Benin, was dier anytim he mentiond dat d ban is 4 both private nd comercial. Wen dey say ban on okada, we al undastud wht dey meant. So wen u say okada obey trafic rules in uyo, wht do u want ppl 2 think in relation 2 d topic of d thread being discussd. So u can carefuly luk at d topic of discusion onece again.

alj harem: Doing the samething and expecting a different result. How do you expect to grow economically with okada

Francoolee: No be okada, adams papa take send am to school, nw he has forgot that. He nw ban them.

Pvt. Parts:
Why won't he?

When he has a helicopter packed at state house waiting to pick him up to any where which has been fully paid by tax payer's money.

The problem with the black man is how he easily forgot where he came from and the total lack of empathy to his fellow man.

paulasweet: Last pope is totally right. Young boys riding okada in benin are abokis.

oseiwe: The ban of okada is a 2nd term syndrome.
Adams is definitely not a man of his words.

KokoBeware: Reminds me of this thread....

baby_123:

I probably know Benin more than you. Lastpope, your argument is even defeated by the picture attached to this post. Liar like you. SMH! You want ot bring age sentiment into this.

thelastPope:

You are a liar. Where do you know in Benin? If you know Benin, then you will know the average Benin boy will not want to ride Okada. Benin people are very proud people. So many of the okada riders are elderly people above 50 years. You that has never gone past ore, claiming you know Benin

alj harem: Good. I have always said it that okada issue needs to be sorted out. okada is too dangerous and promotes intellectual laziness.

BarryX: Now the last city hope of the Okada business has been shattered, Osho Baba you fall my hand, the trekking for Benin no go easy oooo!

Lusaint: Was it nt dis man dat said he wount ban okada ridin in his state?

alj harem: Thelastpope and co are either dishonest or just acting silly. We have washed this issue time and time again about this silly okada craze you are support now

1. Why would a pensioner start riding okada knowing the danger it carries a long. Also why would a sane passenger allow a pensioner to carry him or her. That is the dumbest decision of death one can make.

2. You all talk of them not having alternative ? That is another non intellectual point. Choices are made by one if you make it available. There are still skills a 60 or 70 years old person can do without endangering the lives of themselves and others. Moreover here in lagos most pensioners either sit home and enjoy there pension, go to old people homes or start trade with the little capital they have. Go to sabo and see pensioners trade for leisure and earn cash .

3. You talk of crime increase ? Really so is okada riding an alternative to unemployed youths ? A man in his 20's riding okada shows the state of the mind of nigerian youths. Image an educated person like thelastpope, supereagle and co supporting such and yet think they have made a point shows how the future of nigeria would be.

4. An unemployed youth can pick up a skill and start something small and watch how opportunities come out. Okada cannot hold or be an alternative to the transport issues of a great nation like nigeria. That is a fact

I am using a phone and normally don't reply to such but I believe if some nairalanders are thinking like illiterates with no brain, we baby 123 and co need to put them a right.

Typos and co please bare in mind

adconline:

What have u done? How many people have u employed? How many companies have u started? How many skills have u taught peeps? Talk is cheap as air, but getting it done will cost a lot of money.

baby_123: Its better jare, let them go and enter skills acquisition center. Benin has a large population of artisans. Let them go and learn a trade. Okada is terrible. He can give the indegines loan to buy keke na pep. Or give them casual/manual labor opportunity like Fashola is doing for the ones working on the rail line in Lagos.
