Lagos State New Law Restricting Okada On Major Highway Is Anti Northerner by lordlugards: 9:57am On Jan 21, 2020
To me these new law will affect the Northerners the most because about 70% of the Okada riders in today Lagos are from the north.

Then if you whatch carefully you will understand that the SW are systematically introducing policies that will affect the northerners.

Like Ametokun, like Okada restrictions.
Even more are on the way.
I think Mr Junaid Mohammed most have something to say on this too.

Mr Conspiracy Theory. Most bike men from the North dont ply Major highways. They restrict themselves to inner roads.

The Amotekun has nothing to do with the north. It has to do with RESTRUCTURING. The SW wants restructuring!!!!!! We have been asking for it since Jonathan’s confab. We want control over our region. It’s the only way we can develop. APC wrote it in their manifesto & dts why they were voted in. All plans to implement it by SW APC has been slow or scuttled. Buhari set up a committee for restructuring & nothing has bn done.

Amotekun is an important part of our security control. If we don’t get outright restructuring, we will take baby steps and get what we can get, till we get full restructuring & resource control passed by the legislature. This country is too large to be controlled just by the center. There’s poverty everywhere, no movement forward because of political malaise (Nigeria is one car, but everyone wants to go in different directions so no movement). Bandits have started moving from Zamfara to osun state for gold & the police don’t know what’s going on. How will they know when the police commissioner in the states are from other regions and don’t even know the geography of the land they’re protecting. The governor has no authority over them. Neither do they have any sense of urgency or patriotism to the community. So Amotekun will support them.

God bless Tinubu & God bless all SW governors for implementing it. I pray it yields positive results. Governing a region based on their unique cultural identity should not be a basis for fear. It’s being done successfully in the UK and Canada. The states don’t even need to be scrapped for it to be done successfully.

Who rejected confab? Please I’m not interested in beer palour analysis. We are talking about solutions to challenges. Buhari himself allowed Amotekun to go ahead to satisfy the SW & it’s because he knows fully well he couldn’t get support from his people to restructure the country. Maybe he also has doubts & cant see the vision.


The SW will face a challenge the best way we deem fit. We will ensure the whole country EVENTUALLY supports restructuring. It’s not by shout or fight, it’s by showing pple it’s not a threatening idea.

Why do you people like deceiving yourself forgetting that a lot of us are busy keeping history for you. Buhari never stopped restructuring rather your leaders did. Tinubu after gaining opportunity to the corridors of federal power rejected restructuring. Your VP, Osinbajo also kicked against restructuring. So stop accusing Buhari.
On Amotekun, it is good Yorubas want a regional security but I doubt if it s restructuring. Because it is among 6 South west States doesn't rate it restructuring. How about Hisbah, Civilian JTF, the security outfits in Enugu, Anamosa etc? South west has never clamored for absolute restructuring in the previous confabs. If you talk about the south east people and South South I will agree. South west r the ones that shot down resource control in the confab, and resource control is the key component of restructuring. It is fiscal federalism. Nigerians r watching South west on how they r going about the Amotekun issue. Of course, South East has been championing Biafra and also calling for a restructure of the system. Same with South South people. In fact, these two groups political zones have been tagged the bad groups of Nigeria. The middle belt people like the Tiv who are still confused, no apology to Waku, Unongo etc, have been looking for a log of wood to hold in the midst of a flooding ocean. The jukuns are still sleeping, while the Igala people do not understand what is happening. As Nigeria moves towards rearrangement, a lot will be affected, but better for a people that started their race on time.

How can I even take u serious when you don’t know who asked for what at the 2014 confab? Mscheew!

The SW APC have had several meetings in Ibadan, along with traditional rulers, asking Buhari to restructure. Osinbajo is an omoluabi. He is in Buharis government & must be loyal to the president & guess what? Amotekun got approved. This sandstorm will also be quelled wt wisdom. Everyone knows it won’t be easy.

Restructuring is not about Fulani herdsmen, it’s common sense. I’m sure afenifere (afenifeya) have been called to their senses for trying to politicize a serious issue. Useless political jobbers.

Northerners have no say whatsoever in the affairs of Lagos. If they feel aggrieved, they should relocate to wherever they came from. The affront is way too much and had to be checked.
