Oshiomhole is clueless & dumb.

Elitist government

Marthakings: Seriously, The Banning Of Okada Is Not Fair... Pple Get Food On Their Tables Through This Work... I See No Reason Why It Should Be Banned Anywhere... This Has Rendered Pple Jobless... If Em Thief, Em Go Prosecute Em... Now, Em Wan Work For Their Money, Em Bann Their Job... Let FG Create A Special Road For Okada If Dey Believe It Causes Too Much Accident... I Think Okada Is Even Faster Than Any Land Vehicle; Tho Dangerous When On High Speed... Make Wena Protest Well Ooo....

You may be right but the okada riders themselves are not helping matters in the way they ride their okada and the way they conduct themselves. Instead of banning them out-rightly, subsidized tricycle should be make available to them through the government.

I think the government should just pity these people though there are reckless riders among them,some of them have family that looks up to them.

Itz a shame our Leader wants to duplicate d modernization they see abroad...buh why not plan an alternative for those will b jobless after deir decisions.... Is dat wot Progressive is about

I guess its okay for riders to kill a few people so that the rest can feed

Is that what they suppose to do!

idnoble135: In as much as i admire the governor, i must admit that this is a wrong step. He wants to prevent crime by using ban, but he is just fuelling it cos how can this bread winners feed their family when their only source of livelihood is taken away from them. Tendencies are, that they would go into crime. Even if he wanted to ban it, he should ban it only in some areas and not all the over the state.
You dont ask people to quit their job when you dont have another one to give them. Am sorry but this is just wrong.

Check the main report before commenting on a follow up next time.He banned it within the metropolis.

Our governs should take it easy, there are no jobs any where, the poor people are suffering. Banning of okada will cause more problem in our society. Pls. rethink.

If I hear

They are wasting their precious time. Let them go back to the farm, which is even more useful to themselves and to the nation.

na wa gongo aso

Its good they are protesting. They should just make it peaceful.
