Clueless decision from a cluesless president at a clueless time..

Buhari 2015!

TANdroids os 0.6 don't quote!

Keke nko?

akoaki:
Outright ban may be counter productive now. It is good to restrict okada to designated routes considered safe. The government can then ensure strict compliance by punishing violators.

When l was growing up, the only Okada l saw was that of "outriders" of the then Governor of Lagos, Mobolaji Johnson!
There was one dare-devil rider called "Lati", we usually taunt him by calling him "Laati elewon" as he rode in a daring fashion to the applause of we youngsters in those day!

I still ask myself: How did we get to this level of Okada everywhere?
In my days, young peeps who cant further their education, learned a trade, from Mechanic, to carpentry, to Electrician, to Bricklayers and only the worst-of-the worse, the 'rejected' became Bus Conductors!

Now, it seems the aim of every youngster is to ride an Okada for a living?

Where are the roads the Govt built?
Where is the Mass transit (Fast trains, Light Rail systems, e.t.c) to take over the transit of citizens?
Where is the Electricity to run Small Scale Business tha these youngsters would have ventured into, as was in those far-gone days?
When is this UNENDING SLIDE into Poverty going to be checked?
Are the current set of people (From Clueless GEJ and his band of treasury looters, ...to Religiously fanatical Sharia proponent Buhari and his team of APC rogues like Tinubu) leading this nation the ones we expect would lift this country unto the right path?

Me dont think so!

Nigerians can stop this rot, if they really want to and want it badly enough.
But again, me dont think Nigerians want it badly enough, ...maybe not just yet!

I hear you Mr Please read before you comment!. In English language what does 'endorse' mean?.

cocoduck:

to endorse simply means to agree to give hour support or to say yes this is a good idea.
it doesn't mean that you are actually doing that thing. that is how you fail exams. didn't you do comprehension and synonyms in primary school? That is if I am actually discussing with a grown up.

oniconx:
. Do you read other people comment to get ur CLUE at all? Now who is clueless? You or the President? Loi.

onihaxy:


Did I hear you say "banning commercial motorcycle nationwide" is another reason to vote out GEJ?, tell me, was it gej or pdp party that started it in lagos since 2012?.

I'm not a sympathiser of any party but I hate it when some people try to attach an evil to a party as if there own party is clean. The more the "lies propaganda", the more I hate this party called "APC"

it's logical to say that the states caused it then. They started it and gave hint to those at the top.

As much as I believe okadas should be banned, my fear is 'We are not there yet'. No alternatives for now. I think there should be reliable loan scheme(at all levels of government) for youths to acquire cheap taxis so as to support livelihood since jobs aren't forthcoming, we can introduce tricycles as they are safer, but more importantly, roads should be fixed.

And this is how I think this will go:

After the ban on Okada riders, a means that gives about 1.2 million people job, this FG will then provide three 48-sitter buses to each state, after this, GEJ will go on air to announce to the world that he has given 2.5 million people job...
And that's what they call 'Fresh Air'

That's the problem! Whenever we talk of abolishing this social menace called okada, someone just spring up to remind us that the rate of robbers and crime will increase as if these people have not been doing something before they joined the okada business; as if they were born with bikes from their mothers' wombs. If you don't observe closely, you won't notice the hazard these bikes cause on our roads. The truth is: civilized societies have all done away with bikes as means of transportation!!! Just imagine over 500 bikes on a road within a 1 kilometer pace. Isn't that madness?
