Dis is total rubbish.. Oya..Let them provide jobs 4 dem instead.

Which Job ?. Can't we for once live decently. Roads are for transportation not for selling. We need to be more organized and raise our standard. If you want to trade invest in the trade by renting a proper shop. This is the way it is done in developed societies. Do you know how much we waste everyday in unnecessary traffic due to traders occupying half of the road together with health and safety problems involved

If governance is actually this, I wonder why I surrendered my sovereignty to the state in its so called social contract. Where are the palliatives for the poor? You ask people to stop hawking and eat what? If hawking on the road is wrong then living in inhuman penury is beta. African Leaders need to understand what leadership is.

The law is blind
Serve them right they eboyin boy are growing wing

BUT SERIOUSLY,WHAT DO YOU WANT THE TRADERS TO EAT? WHEN THE MEANS OF SURVIVAL HAS BE BLOCKED,WHEN THE GOVERNOR HAS NOT PROVIDED SUFFICIENT JOBS FOR THESE PEOPLE

The poor people in Nigeria have no where to run to.
God will judge this administration.

You joined nairaland at 2013, by all means u should be in your late 20s or older. And this is what u have to say about this? I believe u have something tangible doing, thank God for that and pray not to be in these people's shoes. You dont know how rough it has been for most of them to resort to make a descent living of the trade. Yes! It might be a good policy by the LSG but calling them goats is rather too cruel from you.

mekonglobal:
During campaign they will gather them to vote for them, after they hv won, they make a law baning them from their means of livelihood...hmmm Nigeria leaders...hmmm be wise oo

Whose vote are you referring to, I suppose it's not those igbo votes that went for PDP that ensured ibo have some house of reps and state house seats .

No wonder I no see VickyRotex Aminat508 funjosh and osusumustflow for market today. Ambode don arrest dem and send dem go better prison wey big pass nairaland own

ajasa4link:
This is a welcome development...... More arrests should be made, the young ones among them should be taken to welfare, while the older ones should be taken to detention centres where they can learn a particular trade/ handwork. This should however come with a prize, they should be made to farm and the produce should be sold by the government to generate more internal generated revenue which can then be re invested in the society at large. If it is done this way, the government will succeed in saving more lives, ensuring the hawkers get empowered and also make some little cash

The only sensible post so far. Wise talk ajasa!

As long as those yeye officers no start to molest people children and wives sha

Thats what they get for being stupiid and destroying those BRT buses, wonder when most Nigerians will get some sense up in there head, if it was in the military era and i was a General in charge, Lord help them cause i would had sent them to firing squad.

Two wrongs can never make a right.

Many of the change they promise us. More to come.

All are affected, stop using tribe to divide us or justify Ambode wickedness. Yorubas are worst affected than any other groups.

U must be out of ur sense.......How do they want them to survive put ur self in their shoes

wristbangle:
Even though I support the implementation of this ban, alternate means suppose to be provided for these hawkers to survive.

Exactly my thoughts too. This will lead to more crimes, sadly.

Meanwhile dearie pls show support for falconey in the upcoming mr nairaland contest. We are counting on people like you I hope you reply baby!

BetterChurch:
The hard reality! Many should be contemplating leaving Lagos, the earlier the better

are you aware some of the hawkers are Lagosians

Oshi! I think u are d bigger goat. Pepo like u DAT can hardly afford three quare meal forming aje. Olodo!

It pains me 4 some pple on this platform, some just open there mouth to say rubblish. Hawkers were arrested and u are happy. Most of them are bread winner in thEir family of which ambode too know fully well.some without stepping outside a day no food 4 d family. If nigeria is good today will u see this hawkers. Majority of them vote 4 APC,sai chai.who lyk suffer make the person click like.

Guy, most of these hawkers n traders don't have enough capital to rent a proper shop, so by Hawking their product they'll be able to make enough money to at least rent a shop. Most people don't knw what the common man is going thru, they sit in their comfort zone n be talking trash..
Bro, think about it..Re these hawkers not still better than those touts (agbero) who forcefully collect money from commercial driver. Let the government take care of those tout first..

how do you expect people to cope in this hardship economy? you should have given them ultimatum that will allow them find a new means... I pity those people

Rent which shops? Is it the ones they come in the middle of the night to demolish and burn with all the traders wares in it? Which developed society does that?

I like this.come to Ikotun and you'll see what those road traders do, they think only about them selves and not other road users,they take half of the road and the pedestrian walk way. the pedestrian start pushing them selves and risking their life with the oncoming vehicle.

You begged for their votes, now you deprive them of earning a living when you got into power. i sympathize with vulnerable Nigerians who APC has deceived.

Did you expect them to go and steal ,the government should provide something else for then to be doing o.if not I see arm robbers in the making, Naijabet man say so

there was no rational explanation in your submission there is another means for them to sell their goods without hawking around the street most of them take the government for granted thinking that nothing government will do if they cut in the process its a law which was made known to the public respect the law of the land

jerryunit48:
Eeyaaa Nigeria is not yet ripe for this kind of law o even though it is for a good reason but people need to survive now

when will Nigeria be ripe? Just start. One activity will lead to the other
