HyzExcellencee: I love this step the government has taken. I wish they will do same in warri, Delta state. 98% of the robberies in Delta is by Keke. I have been robbed twice by Keke. Most riders in Delta now rob with Keke and that's how they balance for the day. Imagine entering a Keke, u see a well dressed gentle man acting as a passenger in the Keke with u, u feel all is well, the next tin, he brings out his gun and ask for all ur belongings. Some of the Keke riders will codedly put u to talk, like arguing about the price of the fair, while the suppose passenger with u will sneek through ur pocket and collect ur fones and wallet. This happened to me. Another occasion, one gentled man came down from Keke very close to me as I was walking to the church that Sunday morning, he rushed and hugged me and called one stupid name that it is my name, he was acting drama that he knew me somewhere, he called one area I don't even know, not knowing he has stolen my fone wen he hugged me. Wen I told him that I don't know him, he apologized and entered the same Keke he came down from, that was how they drove off with speed. Wen I notice the speed they took off, I checked my pocket and my fone was gone. Keke is worst than okada now in Delta. Since Keke is covered to an extent, they rob u neatly inside the Keke without people outside knowing and ask u to come down at a not-too-busy place. Ladies do join them now since they notice that passenger don't like to enter any new Keke that there is just one male passenger at the back. So they carry ladies with them, most times their babe and partner in crime, and wen any lady or guy sees that there is a lady in the Keke, he or she feels safe, not knowing they are one. I can go on and on to reveal their tactics but it will become an epistle. So my conclusion is that they should ban these Keke everywhere for security reasons. After a horrible robbery, there are certain roads cars can not escape through but Keke and bike can. |

What this tells us is that it is in Lagos state's interest that other cities are functional. A very easy solution would be to designate 10 to 20 cities with Abuja's status. Give them top priority in terms of infrastructure. That would help de-congest Lagos. Cities like Ibadan, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Warri, Calabar, Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Yola etc. Readily come to mind. Number 1 consideration when picking such cities should be the economy, geography and to a lesser extent ethnicity. For instance it wouldn't be fair to pick only Ibadan while Enugu and Owerri make the list or vice versa. Nigeria needs strategic thinkers today more than any time before. The clock is ticking! |

Esseite:bad government policies kill innovation, not okada and keke People are resorting to okada and keke because there are no government policies to support innovation You think an idea is enough when there is no capital? Do you know what it takes to access a loan in Nigeria? Do you think people have it? Are there any policies that promote business growth? Do you know how taxes affect small businesses? Some of you just like to throw words around, while having little to no knowledge on the feasibility and practicality of it. You think anyone has an ambition of riding keke or okada? 70% of those people don't even own the keke or okada they are riding. Be practical abeg. 2 Likes |

awetaiye2015: Lol. Dem never rob you inside carbefore, na wetin make you dey yarn opata so. Is keke more covered than cars? Come to Abuja, all thee car doors are locked, they will even molest you inside the car, injure you and toss you out, at least they allow you get down from the keke like a normal person. Keke that does not have door. If you sit in front with the driver, can they rob you as easily? No be if you sit between people? How will you jump out of a moving car if the doors are locked from the driver's main lock? Everything has disadvantages, but I will rather enter keke than cads half the time. |

"Investors who backed motorcycle-based ride-hailing startups in the state like ORide (OPay), MAX and Gokada – who are also affected by the ban – would now be counting their losses. What it means: Other startups operating in the state and the country at large, irrespective of the industries they play in, would now face an uphill task convincing investors to fund them. A trend that may emerge in the Nigerian venture capital space is a preference for small-ticket short-term investments and profit-taking over long-term investments." I am only going to refer to the section of the write up I am going to critique. Investors have the responsibility of studying historical policies of the government for the sector they want to invest in. Why would investors put their money in a sector that has an history of government ban or sanction? Even if they decide to go ahead with investment in the sector, they ought to have a plan B in case a ban come into effect. This so-called investor do not understand the market they put their money. They took a risk without doing proper "homework". I heard one of the CEO talk about switching to delivery services. No point crying. Move on! Aside this, I have issues in venture capital funds that is totally dominated by foreigners and foreign CEOs. Meaning that these so-called Nigerian startups are not truly Nigerian and most of the revenue would go out of the country. Let's continue to fool ourselves. |

Last August I visited a property bequeathed to me and my siblings and on the opposite side of the building in front of another house are several hausa speaking youths with bikes. I learn they congregate there because they make purchases from someone that live in the house. But the problem is they created a lot of nuisance by leaving wastes all over the street and in the drainage. One of them even moved close to the building where I was standing and dropped pure water bag in the open drainage. I avoided challenging them to take care of their wastes because I know how dangerous and violent an arguement with an Okada rider can become. They act as mob. I simply looked away and moved on. The most annoying part is that most of them are not likely to be Nigerians. I really do not have issues with foreigners coming into the country to seek greener pasture because I am also a foreigner where I currently reside. But here the authorities know "A-to-Z" about me. From my address and all vital data. It's sad Nigeria is a country where anyone can just walk into, buy Okada and start running business using resources tax payers paid for but is not contributing any tax to improve such resources. This is not an anti-ethnic rant. Nigerians are in serious danger because some people want to overrun the country at all cost. And the influx of criminals from the Sahel region is part of this danger. |

To cut the long story short, I trekked from Cadbury to Berger today. Hm, it would have been from Ikeja under bridge, but a good Samaritan conveyed three of us with his jeep from Ikeja before his fuel pump eventually went on sabbatical leave just in Mobil filling station opposite Cadbury. He was a good Samaritan but we paid him 200 Naira for Berger and he had to refund 100 Naira. And from there no empty transit bus so we trekked to the extent that.... hmm 1 Like |
