In civilized countries, commuters don't spend 2- 3 hours in traffic. There are other means of transportation. The masses don't commute packed in buses.

ajibowo11:
lol bt marwa should not be ban cos they wont even tresspass by plying highways

vodutive:



They should all be banned including Danfos too, the Lawlessness and indiscipline exhibited by street traders, okada, keke marwa and Danfos contribute to making Lagos a chaotic and stressful place to live commute and work.

Jung:


babe pls do your research well... Google Search "countries with the highest traffic congestions in the world". this is not peculiar to our country alone. get your facts right. don't type to make a point. type to make your point valid.

Mcowubaba:

That's not always the Case......

winj:


there is a small margin for:
losing jobs and income
losing parents
falling on hard times you cannot control.

BUT most civilized people will project what their jobs/incomes/resources will be and take steps to have the CORRECT amount of kids

Any 1diot Nigerian who has kids 1st then say "god dey" and born children into INSTANT poverty and hardship should be charged under human rights laws.

I checked how much I earn, I made arrangments for the right accomodation and savings before proceeding to have children.

If you cannot afford children DO NOT HAVE any for the sake of having children!

Good thing I don't live in Lagos.
On a more serious note though, It is a step forward in the right direction, though its a rather hard one to make. You can never spot hawkers on the streets in civilized countries, however, there should be some sort of way to recompense the massive loss of jobs and/or revenue this decision will make.

DollyParton1:

I agree street/highway hawking is very dangerous.
I get on the road mostly when am hungry with assured hope of getting any of those sausage roll brands and a bottle of chilled soft drink.
How person wan take cope now.

Lagos State Government is back again with their efficient poverty alleviation tactic;


Its that type where they get to eradicate poverty by eradicating poor people.



So what are the impications of this ban?

1. You are going to starve to death inside Lagos traffic.


Eat before you travel


2. If you don’t starve, your sweat will kill you inside Lagos traffic.


Because nobody to even sell handkerchief. But to the more important things;

Buy hanky from area


3. Jobs will be lost.



Those aren't jobs

You might not know, but you see thousands of street traders every week. From the hundreds hawking in traffic, to your favourite boli or roasted corn woman. To that dude carrying yoghurts on his shoulder to sell. All of them could either choose unemployment or a 90,000 naira fine.

Once ojoro cancel buyers will go and meet hawkers on side roads or petrol stations




4. Remember UAC foods? Those guys that have been making Gala sausages since forever?




Yep. A significant part of the revenue the generate happens in traffic. Imagine what would happen when they don’t make as much Gala because demand has fallen. Jobs. Will. Go.




5. Have you ever seen a traffic seller chasing a car before?



If he loses his job and decides to start chasing people and snatching their bags, how will you catch him?



Our elders say,



The progress of our society is not only by what the elite few accomplish, but by the standard of living of the masses.



What do you think about Lagos State Government’s new street trade ban?

ReabridCharles:
It's a move in the right direction but without a plan B, am afraid it only adds more salt to the injury of Nigerians....

thatchick:


Some of these countries don't have hawkers selling their wares in traffic? And most of these countries don't have other means of transportation and depend mostly on road transportation? And all these countries are civilized? Please always read to comprehend before attacking others.
