It wasn't the lack of Okada but also the increase in bus fare by the NURTW buses. They suddenly became a monopoly on the road and hiked fares thereby leaving people who could not afford it stranded. All private car and bus owners should start taking passengers to relieve Lagosians of this harsh situation. Yes Marwa and Okada should not ply major roads but what about the inner streets. And the government should provide more BRT buses. What we have is not ENOUGH. 1 Like |

DAVE5:not only in Nigeria. All over the world, government policies can’t favour the entire populace. It is the government’s mandate to sanitize the state. People may make their living from the lack of sanity, but the government must do what it must do, REGARDLESS. |

Okada mode of transport is never recommended in any sane society. What Lagos state govt must strive to achieve is intra-city rail links. Lagosians deserve nothing less. These bike guys especially from the North are very aggressive and they look ready to kill. I've witnessed an incident before where it took Policemen from the North hours to calm down an Okada rider simply because he felt a co-bike operator whom he referred to as "infidel" overtook him to pick a passenger. Lagosians may not be safe in no distant time if these bike operators are allowed to operate without any sound profiling and regulation. 2 Likes |

grossintel: No mind people wey dey compare Lagos and other mega cities, one mumu was hailing the decision and comparing us to the likes of Dubai,I just jejely added pix of those cities and their several other means of transport and the goat cld not reply, plus the fact that those other transport means are even either govt project or partnership project between government and maybe some companies So it boils down to the fact that the government is the one making lives easier for their populace by providing basic amenities at affordable rates, but for us here We provide our own water, electricity, health, security and other necessities, what then is the govt's job 2 Likes |

Lagos is not on the level of Dubai. But if Lagos must get to that level. What Sanwo Olu has done, is obviously the starting point. Although, the govt must swiftly respond to the challenges this “positive policy” will cause |

DownChelsea: No policy can favor an entire populace; yes But here in Nigeria most policies rips the poor of even their little In other countries Light is mostly a forgone issue Health: govt has major stakes in those e.g China that's battling with coronavirus recently opened a 1000 bed hospital under emergency situation Which govt hospital is serene in Nigeria and has a 1000 bed capacity Security: our police is our own enemy, people dey fear police like no man business, you're a suspect for carrying dreadlock or tattoo, SARS nko: sorry case Army is a menace; make mistake match army man, sorry nah ur name Pipe borne Water: I guess I don't have to expantiate more Transport: Housing: Education: Research and development: Industry: Employment: Internet: Good roads: The list is endless ma When you provide those basic amenities, you have solved most of life's problem for the entire country, you would not need to make policies to favor every single person because everybody wld b aiit already instead of our government to stabilize things they go on to increase taxes for even amenities they did not provide while we provide basic amenities for ourselves and they still want to shut us down 3 Likes |

DAVE5:whatever positive change is needed would have to start somewhere. It is unfortunate that the lower class Have a closer proximity to the dreaded lawlessness, insanity and chaos and decay the state government wants to get rid of. Pursuant to the unfortunate situation the lower class (especially the sane and law abiding ones) finds itself, THERE IS NO ATTEMPT THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE AT BRINGING BACK SANITY “IN ANY FORM” THAT WOULD NOT PROMPT AN OUTCRY. |

Its back to the struggle and tear your clothes to enter a bus, this policy has taken lagos back by 15 years. Some people argue that it makes Lagos more civilized, what is civilized about people struggling and fighting to enter buses ? Do we see that in developed countries? People dont understand that the struggle to enter buses is because of scarcity of reliable transport int he state. There has to be variety in transportation media in a state, everyone cannot use vehicles at the same time, or planes or trains at the same time. 2 Likes |

DownChelsea:I think differently. A developing economy should not try taking a long leap to become a developed economy. It falls into a pit if it tries. The Indian government knows it is a stage it has to pass through. when the time comes, it will change with least impact. As the evidence clearly shows, Lagos is not ready for the ban. Do you know that the ban will increase fuel consumption and air pollution given car holdups? Do you know Lagos GDP will drop with the ban? Do you know that all these could have been averted in a sane clime? |
