At a time u landed on population explosion, the population coming into lagos to take up okada and Keke driving is much

And about 70% of them are not Nigerians thereby putting the population and security of lagos at a very big risk ,

Crime rate in Anambra reduced immediately they ban okada in the state , cos most of the riders are not from the state , as much as these guys are not mostly from Nigeria it's a very big risk from security side ,

At earliest stage we will all feel it , but it was a good decision by the lagos state government

Meanwhile they are coming without their wives and children, who them go marry for here , the locals of course !!

are you from Anambra?

Have met quite a lot who and the increase in huge numbers only means more a taking that path.. it kills the future because riding okada is not being innovative, but a carpenter, plumber, welder are very innovative people.

Why not stop these blind arguments just to garner cheap likes!
How many of them have you engaged to work for you in the last two yrs and how much did you pay them?
All the innovations on ground how many have been executed?
Is it only artisans that ride Okada?
Quite a lot of guys that graduated without job opted for this to make ends meet.
Mr. Man, you're not sounding intelligent here, address the issue from the root cause instead of typing rub.bish here, OK?

The Honest truth is okada and keke business kept a lot of Nigerians LAZY...

Now people are growing up with ambition of riding okada/keke.

People are leaving Vocational skill aquisition for keke and okada riding..

When a carpenter quits to riding okada
When a tiler quits to riding okada
When a plumber quits to riding keke..
Mechanics quiting to ride okada..

It destroys the future.

I think you ought to blame the underlying economic forces at work. Maybe vocational skills don't pay as much as before or that the skills are not meeting the most basic needs people have. Invariably people migrate to greener fields.
