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!

I can't say if it's right or wrong to ban roadside selling or Hawking but all I know is that I've witnessed the deaths of two people recently on the road where a car suddenly lost the control of its break diverting to where these people were selling things by the road and got them killed... Now let's think about it if they were not there at that time they might still be alive

Our so-called leaders are nothing, but a bunch of passive hypocrites!!!

Sometimes I feel like our leaders are confused

With all these unhealthy policies, APC Will finally lose Lagos

If no street hawker, many more lives will be lost

This place does not look like Abeokuta express way or Ikorodu road or any other major road where people take advantage of the traffic. There is a big difference between major roads and ordinary street

That is not true

That's their stock in trade,they rode on your backs to victory and after which they broke and disorganize those backs......

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.

http://www.metronaija.com/2016/07/photo-gov-ambode-buys-goods-from-road.html


It was featured here on Nairaland during the campaign era https://www.nairaland.com/2097386/ambode-stops-buy-boli-roasted

Who hawks bol'e by roadside traffic? and how is that picture a roadside ? Ambode has banned Roadside hawking and trading along traffic, pls tell me how a Bole seller hawks bole in Traffic

prof800:
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.

On piont

PICTURETOCRACY

olaolaking:

That is not true

If u stay in lagos , u should know the number of people who depends on hawking as a means of livelihood and if u take that way there would be great economic and social consequences

I stay in Lagos. The reason while you are thinking this way is that government had allowed this wrong doing to stay. When you are doing a wrong thing and nobody complains or corrects you. You will see it as normal thing. But if anyone come after 15 years or more to correct you, you will think that person hates you. That is what exactly happened

PapaBrowne:
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.

First of all, how' do you come about the conclusion that picture of him and the boli seller was snapped by the road side? Moreover, what he banned was roadside hawking and trading! I.e people walking in traffic and knocking on your Windows to sell gala, lacasera, car charger e.t.c, there's a wall visible at the back of the pics if you look well, lastly there was no such law when he was campaigning, he made this law banning road side hawking because of a truck lost control and killed a roadside trader sometime ago and thugs rioted destroying state properties worth millions. Pls get your facts right first. Roadside trading are those selling in traffic, is it even proper for people to be selling in traffic on the express?

Thanks Bros. Some people need more education.

However, our number one problem in this part of the world is orientation. No 2 is enforcement of the laws

This man is just clueless

I bet you don't live in Nigeria. Or maybe you or your loved one has not been robbed by a hawker, or seen your friend or family member who hawks knocked down senseless on the road. Focus on the pros and cons of hawking then you get the message. God help we Nigerians, our mindset towards change is appaling!

The Governor is just saying it to sound tough because of the recent incident that happened around Maryland



Have you guys forgotten there's a law prohibiting public smoking??
