Okadas Are Back On Lagos Roads! Has The State Traffic Law Been Amended??? by Firgemachar: 12:34pm On Jun 06, 2017
Hello all,

For sometime now, I have observed that okadas have been plying routes they are not supposed to ply freely.

And as usual, they've been disobeying traffic rules - riding against traffic, disobeying traffic lights and not using helmets. And they are fast becoming a menace to other road users.

E.g. the Ogunnusi road - Agidingbi road - Ikeja route is gradually being taken over by okadas.

Is it that okadas have been silently "unbanned" from erstwhile prohibited routes or the law enforcement agents have been compromised or become lackadaisical in the discharge of their duties?

I hereby urge the relevant authorities to do the needful.

Thank you.

Regards,
Concerned Citizen.

But riding okada on major roads is very dangerous.

You need to compare the okada fatalities statistics at Igbobi,Yaba when they were not restricted and when they were restricted and you'll appreciate my point.

okadas are only good for inner areas where the roads are mostly rough and/or less busy.

Is risking your life and that of others(passengers) worth it just because you want to survive?

Why can't they stay in restricted areas that are much safer for them

I am not saying he should not risk his life to make money. All I am saying is that he should not risk the life of other people and constitute a nuisance to other road users.

It's like you have never seen okada wahala before.
