The people I pity most are Nnewi merchants that deal on Okada and its spare parts not those Uncircumcised abokkis and igalas riding reckless Okada in Anambra state and putting people lives in jeopardy.

All those abokkis that sleep in mosques and 302 Artillery barrack should go back to their Boko Haram ravaged dusty villages in Arewanistan

Good development. Afterwards over 99.9% of these riders are not even Anambrans. They should take the bikes to their states.

That is what you are. You are an abakaleke. It is a stigma that has to live with you. Almjiri-Igbos=abakaleke

afo sagbuo nna i there for saying that aburo m onye onicha
look at this onye igbo dey talk nonsense telling me how things are done in onitsha.
FYI I am from the most popular family in onitsha (i won't mention it here for security reasons)
you're obviously a bloody sycophant that feeds on crumbs from Obiano table and online dogs
i don't expect more from an illiterate sycophants that his daily job is to be an oti mkpu to politicians.

it's obvious you're not living in onitsha to know routs and all ime ogbe that Keke cannot carry a single person without paying a from #500 upward.

ok how do expect someone living at st Stephen road to stop at Awka Road (ado girls) and trek from there for example when bike will carry you there easily.
don't tell me that in your thick skull you don't know how Keke operates.

it's obvious you're just intrested in blowing your sycophant whistle not caring for the common man which is the mandate of every government.

yes I am a full blooded onye onitsha and educated as well that's why i knew the effects of the ban to an average igbo man hustling in Anambra state
and I know how SME affects the GDP of any state that's why no sane government neglects SME no matter how small.

once again Otolo gbagbuo nna i there onye igbo nkakwu
anu ofia

Abokkis and irritating Igala people should take that thing to their dusty villages, I'm happy the population of Abokkis constituting nuisance in Anambra will reduce by 90%.

The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, Mr James Eze, released a press statement after the state exco today, disclosing the state plan to ban Okada riders in two major cities.

Read below


Commercial motorbike (Okada) operators in Onitsha and Awka, the capital city of Anambra State have been given until July 1, 2018 to change to another trade or vacate the two cities for good.

This is one of the many resolutions from the meeting of the Anambra State Executive Council today, Tuesday, May 22, 2018. The ultimatum given to Okada operators in the two cities is part of the overall strategy adopted by the state government to deepen its crackdown on crime and restore sanity to Onitsha and Awka.

Similarly, residents of some make-shift structures on the banks of the River Niger stretching from Onitsha to Ogbaru have also been given until August 1, 2018 to relocate from those places along the waterfront as they have been marked for demolition. This is also a part of the campaign against the men of the underworld in the state.

The deadlines given to Okada operators and the shanty-dwellers are intended to offer them enough time to make the necessary adjustments in order to fit into the emerging socio-cultural scenario in the state.

Other far ranging resolutions of the Council include the establishment of a Committee on Environment with a mandate to clean up Anambra State, clearing out garbage dumps and overflowing drainages and demolishing illegal structures that are either obstructing the way or ruining the aesthetics of the Anambra environment. The committee is expected to sustain the on-going campaign to put an end to roadside trading that often leads to avoidable traffic congestion and return sanity to the roads and highways of Anambra State.

Re-inforcing the hard line posture of his administration against street-trading and erection of illegal structures across the state, Governor Willie Obiano specifically commended the agencies behind the on-going demolition exercise in the state, urging them to sustain the momentum until the state begins to wear a better look. He also sent a note of warning to owners of illegal structures along the famous Awka Road in Onitsha, saying that very soon the demolition team would sweep through the area.

He frowned at the current practice by Awka residents who sometimes dump their waste bins right in the middle of Zik Avenue and warned that anyone caught doing that would pay a heavy penalty.

The governor further announced that important public places like the Prof Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Alex Ekwueme Square and the vast premises of the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) would soon be given a facelift and properly remodelled to fit into the dynamics of the day.

According to him, the Amphitheatre of the Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre would be redesigned to serve as a stadium and completed as soon as possible.

The governor also frowned at the spate of daring encroachment on government land in the state by speculators and warned that there would be severe consequences for anyone who wanted to flagrantly break the law.

How can Anambra be better with this mentality? Okada was stopped in PH and Aba, haven did not fall. It will be stopped in Anambra and nothing will happen.

Brother he cannot stop it in Anambra...

so okada is stopping Anambra from being better?

so you're comparing Anambra the heart of igbo and the commercial center of SE and definitely Nigeria to those cities you mentioned.

do you know how it will inconvenience a local trader in main market or that struggling mother in Ose?
do Keke na pepe ply any route in onitsha or do you expect a struggling trader in onitsha to be able to chatter Keke about #500 to his/her short destination when okada of #100 will go the same place faster.
the cities that banned okada is their crime rate lower than Anambra state or don't you hear scores from criminal in Portharcourt almost every day.

do you know how many igbos living in anambra this will render jobless or how do you expect that trader at nnewi that borrowed millions from the bank to import motorcycle spare parts to cope?
and the list go on
mr man I am an Anambarian from onitsha precisely
but i don't support this move
yes i support banning of okada operations from 7pm but not total banning.
do you know that criminals operate with Keke now in onitsha at night and they're are more stealth than before.

so don't support any government moves just because you're benefiting from the government or in the government.
if Willie thinks of security he should equip and employ more local vigilantes
