Since the governor refuse to bring back the Keke Napep, then they should roll out clean moderate Buses and shuttle /mini buses .These buses must be regulated so that they do not become a menace like the Danfos.

Thunder fire you

Domino effect, all for the better hopefully

Thanks for the heads up..

Make una try acclimatize to that condition, Abuja is almost also the same but the government rolled out some busses to ease the situation.

Even if Lagos state government roll out 100 bus it won't solve half of the problem.

The population in Lagos is just too much.

amc:
Traffic jams are less on the Island.

Sanwo-Olu is not lifting any ban. The ban in the 6 local governments is permanent. People will get used to it. Most car users are very happy with the ban.

Who are the most? Those with cars right?

Btw who's talking about traffic on the island?

Okada/Keke Ban: Who Else Has Been Experiencing This Strange Thing In Lagos Of Late?

But these aren't the strange things happening on Lagos roads that this article is about. The traffic jams in Lagos have been doubled since the ban

The Lagos State government's plan to release vehicles to serve as palliatives for the vacuum left behind by the Okadas and Kekes has fallen short in terms of numbers with many believing the action was only successful on paper alone.

The reason for increased traffic is not down to the ban on Okada but rather due to the simultaneous road works going on all over lagos. Awolowo road, ikoyi, gbagada expressway and Magodo but to name a few are having extensive road works. On the gbagada expressway only two lanes out of 5 are available.

Make una try acclimatize to that condition, Abuja is almost also the same but the government rolled out some busses to ease the situation.

Abuja has a poor transport system. The buses in Abuja are very few. I doubt if the El Rufai buses on Abuja roads are up to 50. Abuja will collapse the day private cars stop to carry passengers.

Mumu no go ki you for there...

Ogbeni mumu

DNSPro:
una can make stupid comparison eh... Lagos is 20+million people... Forking 20+million.

Roads are limited, traffic is increasing... What is the solution? Okada ban? Why didn't he address the tankers and containers falling and killing lagosians?

amc:
Traffic jams are less on the Island.

Sanwo-Olu is not lifting any ban. The ban in the 6 local governments is permanent. People will get used to it. Most car users are very happy with the ban.

And please let them know that the traffic increase is caused by road projects going on around the state
Berger- ongoing construction
Iyanaonworo inwards Anthony- ongoing construction
Iyanaonworo inwards alapere- ongoing construction

Let the government be done with this and it will be Christmas morning everyday in Lagos

You talking are you a lagosian? Do you know how many people Dangote has lifted out of poverty by establishing business in Lagos? Is he not a northerner?So, you see someone and just because he is a northerner riding okada, he is automatically a terrorist? Some one providing services and getting his daily bread??

Let me educate you a little,

1. I am a lagosian, (lagos born)

2. Majority of those boys from the north coming to lagos are victims of crisis.

3. The mentality of an average northerners towards education must change for them to have sustainable development.

Therefore to your question on dangote, I am not disputing the fact that he has created a lot of employment to our teaming youths in lagos and northerners are not left out, I hope you know.

My emphasis is on how the cabals/politicians in the north are leaving fat on government funds while there people are dying of starvation and lack of basic education, you may want to argue on the arrival of boko haram in recent years, but no, the problem with the north has been there before boko haram came into existence, you may also want to argue further that boko haram insurgency is as a result of the fallout of the war in libia, And I say no, going by the popular saying:"An idle hand is the devils workshop "

Kingrexyl:
Atleast they should compensate them or give them job instead of leaving them like that.

A lot of Nigerians are working their hands to the bones to make ends meet. How many people will government compensate? How many would government give jobs? There has been ban on importation of some goods and that has affected a lot of importers; how would government compensate those categories?

Lagos had always been like that, what are you saying?

Dedetwo:


It is very funny that the jackasses in Nigeria cannot think to save themselves from hunger yet they want to come to USA. Lagosians of all classes should march to Lagos government house and demand either the idiotic governor stand down the ban on Okada and Keke or he step down as governor of Lagos State. They should all make Lagos ungovernable for the goon called Sanwo-Olu.

you are saying nonsense! so the chief security officer of the state should allow illegal immigrants take over his state abi? the federal government allowed illegal every Hausa speaking elements into the country and their target is Lagos, Chadian, Malians, Senegalese, Nigeriens and so many others see Nigeria as America that required no visa incase you don't know!
these people sleep on the street and have no record, a local government office was burnt down by this people last month.

And you think dangote will ever think of locating most of his investments in the north, when security is not certain.

My dear, when the north is ready to take developmental issues seriously in the north, they will do it on there own, not expecting an outsider to come and find solutions.

And you now expect lagos to accommodate the fallout of insecurity issues that was created by your greedy leaders in the north?

Please think about it very well.

Check out roads in lagos today and see the decency it wears. Mind you, other states are also looking in that direction to ban okadas.

Just wait and see how things unfold.

Let me educate you as well. Nigerians migrate to USA, Europe and canada because of the rot and decay in the country.Most Nigerians are now settled abroad because of the enabling environment that it provides. Yes, i agree the Govt, States, LGA's as well as the private sector needs to do a lot for those Nigerians left behind. You have them in all cities, and all States. The population of the North is just more. There are lots of agberos in lagos, that are jobless and uneducated. They are a huge menace. Stop pointing finger to the North only. You have so many igbos coming into lagos and are under the tutelege of a master trading in spare parts, pharmacy, provisions etc. Now, most of those pharmacy are selling fake drugs. Now do you close all pharmacies or you regulate them? You need to create enabling environment for those coming in and those that cannot fit in will be quickly arrested and jailed, that is how society works and grows and not exclusion like the BS ure saying while pointing finger or raiding igbos and dropping them off in Asaba after the bridge. Also, understand that what comes around goes around, The North can also expel none indigenes for whatever reason.

Arrogance, hate, finger pointing. That was what you and some other Nigerians said about Ghanians and drove them out in the 90's. Today, Ghanian universities are better than Nigerian univ and they have a better economy than we do. You need to be careful how you label people and how you point fingers, some of this is due to our incompetence.

solmus:




When Shiek Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai said he wanted a change, it wasnt easy, he said it out loud Otoge!! back in the early 90s and his subject hissed and said dubai must remain rural for life and he was crazy, they were ok with their camels and donkeys with few Tokunbo cars telling him what isnt damage doesnt need fixing

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum went around with his crazy policies that was not similar to conservative islamic veiws and they called him prince of Saytan and unislamic, he went to Egypt Air to lease just 2 plane and started Emirate Airline, he came to Nigeria to meet Obasanjo and begged him to invest Nigerias free money in dubai and make Nigeria a great return on investment, Obasanjo bluntly told him nobody invested in a desert, while Atiku secretly siphoned his money to Dubai to own some of the best malls and towers in dubai

Now Sanwo-Olu is making a crazy move that can cost him a second term, and he wants to turn lagos around calling for private investors to join the BRT scheme and Lagosboat scheme, nobody is taking the offer, if an Atiku or a Dangote comes to Lagos and capitalize on the new oppurtunity bringing in double decker bus, people would wail and scream, while this men smile to the bank

Double decker Coaches and busses start retailing from about 30 million - to 43 million naira, Ferry boats cost similar, many celebs and yahoo boys in Lagos can buy one instead of benz and range rovers or empty mansions and join the BRT fleet managed by Lagos state Government and make money forever

.

how?

By God We Shall Get use to it ..

Una wey Get Car Dey say make the Ban stay have you try and put urself in the shoe of those that don’t have to see how it feels eh

. if you so like these illegal immigrants, why not relocate to Maiduguri, Kastina or Yobe where you can easily show them love? pls

Lagos transports are too compressed to one area, that is why the traffic jam is so enormous. Let the city disperse itself through rail links, sub ways, inter-city buses, water ferry, etc and watch the traffics reduce. But currently, the ban on okada and maruwa is not proportionate to the available means of transport.

Are you listening to the dumb mad people sitting in one corner in a village and making postulations about things they know nothing about.


You can take a look at Google maps and just skim through VI and axis and see the thick red lines showing heavy non moving traffic and this has been like this since the start of the week. Yeah prior you might have slight traffic here and there but this is kind of unprecedented in recent times.

Also, understand that what comes around goes around, The North can also expel none indigenes for whatever reason.

And the rot and decay in the country is caused by who? You and I know for sure the north has contributed so little to the development of this country and the same north have done more damage to the security, integrity and well being of this country. Some of the boko haram fighters are not nigerians, the power drunk leaders of the north knows this fact, a northern government that's sensitive to security issues should have done something about the porous borders with chad, niger and the rest, instead they continue collecting there security allocations from the central government and keep sending there families and relatives abroad to enjoy and school, forgetting that one day, posterity will catch up.
The security issues in the north: Is it political? YES, It is, Then why is it political, Because of selfish interests as they never for once wish them well, why will they invest in education, when they know that once elections come, they will not be able to manipulate there mostly gullible and illiterate northern electorate.

Please ask yourself the following questions?

-The boys coming to lagos from the north (mostly) and other parts of the country in there large numbers, how did they get money so quick to get this motorcycles they use for okada/or they quickly gained the trust of higher purchase vendors?

-Do you know the rate of accidents that involves this guys on a daily basis?

-Do you know because of there educational level, they hardly understand and read road/traffic signs which at the end lead to accidents? (i have experienced it, it was just God that saved me, the aboki and the innocent girl she carry that day would have been crushed to death)

-Do you know this boys are involved in so many criminal activities in the locals?

You mentioned regulations, pls what type of regulations are you taking about?
-they should work in the afternoon and not work in the morning?
-Or they should work at night and not work in the afternoon, Common.

You also mentioned nigerians moving abroad, yes,

-Do they go there to constitute nuisance?
-Do they go there to break their laws?
-Do they go there without valid ID's?
-Do they go there without valid documentations?

That is where lagos is heading to and I believe all other forward looking states are also taking a quee from the developments in lagos.

The LSG has done the right thing and it will remain like that, who ever is not happy about it should go back to his/her village and farm.

Afterall, the government never said go back to your respective states.

A cleaner and decent lagos is what we want.
