Governor Akinwunmi Ambode banned the sales of goods by roadside traders and hawkers yesterday but below is the photo of the Lagos state Governor patronizing a road side trader before election.

Clueless

It was an election gimmick. Politicians can do anything to elicit support from the masses.

He is better than ponmo cutting gov.

It is painful a life was lost.
If no street hawker, such loss ll be averted

After deceiving the woman before election, you now want to show her your true colour.

Yorubas say that "cutting off the head aren't a cure to headache"

Rubbish!!! Buying from the road-side doesn't prove you're a good governor. Besides, this man is a hypocrite!

Nigerian politician ! group of useless people

Be careful.. Soon and I mean very soon, the poor will be so poor that they will have nothing else to eat except the flesh of the rich. . .

That was before election, road side trading is dangerious

The hawkers and road side traders pushed his hand

V unhealthy policy !

She is not a street hawker na.
I heard he banned road side hawking not road side trading. That woman is not hawking she is a road side seller.
I don't think it is possible to totally ban road side selling in Lagos.

The

The woman is not a hawker, a wall is visible at her back, she is on a spot most likely the. Set back for roads might av being observed.

Are all your adages this dry?

hawking is trading, but trading might not be hawking.

Hawkers move about with their goods , manytimes in d middle of the road.

na so dem dey do na, before election they will be nice, after election dey will become muster, with his OBULUKU TROUSER sef, mimiko of ondo state is worst.

Hawking and road side selling are two different things op.
The former its what was banned!

hmm.

My signature though

Nigerians want to compare their Nation with the developed ones, but don't want to do what the developed wld do...

Road side Hawking and major road hawkers shld be jailed or sentenced to community service.

I dnt care wot u will say...

Ride on ambode!

Apparently,by the same law Ambode has quoted, he has committed a criminal offense. The only thing protecting him from prosecution is his immunity. That's hypocritical. In certain countries,this picture is enough to bring down a leader.

I don't understand the disdain these leaders have for hardworking traders. The benefits of their service to society by far outweighs whatever detriments and trust me I don know of any detrimental anecdotes derived from street traders.

What kind of society pats Agberos on the back and arrests hardworking street traders.

These traders I believe will be very willing to pay taxes and go through any form of regulation demanded of them.

The economic implications of shutting down street trading can be heavy. Loads of companies depend solely on these marketers for thier sales. What would UAC be without Gala. What would Lacasera be without the streets. How would you quench your thirst in grave traffic if not these hawkers. There is absolutely no rationale to criminalizing thier activities.

roasted boli wey me and lalasticlala dey buy everyday for road side.

Hardworking governor

Dont mind them all

If no human being in Lagos, including you, nobody in Lagos will die.

People die daily, cars kill people, and cars have not been banned.

And so fokn what?that was then,this is now,we can't continue to do things in wrong ways.

Lol


Politicians are fraudsters.


The earlier we unite as masses the better for us.
