Again this should not pose any difficulty.

The challenge is with government and its method of implementing policies. Okadas buzz around annoyingly over all parts of Lagos and have taken full advantage of the endsars protest. Get to airport road in the evening and you’ll be very disgusted.

I think in all Local governments there should be serious enforcement officers. Waiting only for officials from Alausa will make this ban seem impossible.

Local government that issue tickets to them in exchange for money ,it will never work

Okada riders stubborn pass goat. Their level of deviance has no master

and many of them are paying with their life ba!

Ahmback:
considering the unemployment level in the country, I don't personally opine this

But it's OK for other states to ban okada except lag?

tamdun:

But it's OK for other states to ban okada except lag?

I'm talking about Nigeria as a whole

Harrynight:
Fashola banned okada in major road and street in lagos and they all obeyed the law.

Sanwo-Olu should place a ban on these okada and be strictly serious with the penalty if defaulted.

Sadly they agency to place their eye on this and act accordingly will end up collecting bride and allow Those goats called Okada riders causing nusiance everywhere

Some of this okada riders are graduate who see it as a way for survival.
They are human, it patatic to call someone goat just cos he is riding okada for survival.

Okada is not our problem.
Let Government provide Employment.
Many of our small scale business will suffer without okada.

For ur mind, okada riders are the only problem in Lagos.

When every body comes out with his/her car after okada is band and u stuck in traffic with ur Nissan vehicle for 5 days, u will know how helpful are d okada riders.

Think like human, the rate of crime will increase and it will affect u in one way or the other.

They were off the major roads before. That was when those Nigeriens packed all their bikes out of Lagos. It was End SARS protest that gave them confidence to come back.

Lagos State Task For has been trying to reinforce the ban but these people together with their stubborn customers have resisted.

It's high time people realised that these Okada guys constitute great security and safety menance.

Government should not relent in enforcing the law and also extending it to the customers who patronise them.

The rate of crime will increase in Lagos and u will be affected in one way or the other. like it or not

U talking trash

Lagos state should be ready to welcome more unemployed illiterate youths, men from Hausa speaking sub Saharan Africa.
Chad , Mali, Niger , CAR, Sudan, Senegal.
They are all moving to Lagos to pick thrash, ride okada , push barrow .

Lagos state should introduce residence permit or work permit.

These illegal immigrants have overrun south west

I trust fashola during his tenure who borng them well once fashola task force collect your bike and they take it alausa that is end of your okada, anyway good one from Sanwo olu.

When we choose not to evolved we would remain stuck where me are.. Lagos state should make me a ministry of commercial operators under ministry of transport then employ me i would tell them what to do..

OKOGA IS A BIG BUSINESS WHICH CAN BOOST LAGOS STATE ECONOMY AND CREATE JOBS FOR NIGERIA IF PROPERLY REGULARIZED THE SOCIETY CAN BENEFIT FROM IT.

While I strongly believe in enforcement of law against the ban of okada, but are most people aware that the same Okada that has been banned by government still pay tickets on daily basis to the account of the government? Ask any Okada who ply regularly on the road that is among the restricted roads for Okada.

I don't call them goats becos they are okada riders, it's because the behaves like goat,

A horrible but effective way of solving the problem is to do what they would do in the West which is confiscate and destroy the motor bikes of those breaking the relevant laws.

I understand that this is already part of the mandate in Lagos (i.e confiscated bikes may be destroyed) but knowing Nigerians and their sympathetic nature official wouldn’t be destroying motorbikes confiscated, they would be handing them back with warnings. However to solve the problem officials in Lagos really need to go through with destroying confiscated bikes as mandated.

Kindness can be more complicated than we like to believe. For instance, the kind short-term act you do by releasing a confiscated bike to its poor owner so that he can feed his family may in the tong term kill someone who is also a breadwinner for another family. The released bike add to the congestion that ruins the lives of many not only by the frustration it helps to cause but by adding to the pollution which kills scores of individuals with respiratory problems yearly.

This is very simple, the Lagos state government should change the law on who to arrest. Just arrest the passengers instead not riders then see what will happen. No passengers no business, Thank me later.

A very good idea!

When Okada was banned in Ajao Estate, along Airport road a few years ago, the whole Estate was transformed.
All the rowdiness disappeared and the Estate became peaceful and beautiful that you would think you were living in Paris.
Immediately after the EndSars Protests, the Okadas came back and it has been so frustrating.
I don't understand exactly what is going on in Lagos state.
Okadas have taken over everywhere and the state Government is so clueless and confused. .
To say the state is defaced is an understatement!

The laws are there to be enforced. BRF did it. The willingness to succeed is what is required. Let the LGs have enforcement teams to handle their environments.

KnightsTemplar:
You need to see these Bike men in Ibadan, its terrible, they are everywhere in large numbers.

It's only in the SW, one can't find bikes in all the major towns of the SE, SS and even in some parts of the North.

whela:
As it is in other climes, the government should think of building dedicated lanes for okada riders in their areas of operations. The state’s CCTV project should be implemented fully to capture riders who perpetrate crime and instigate riots on the roads.

Funny, but true. I saw this in close by Benin Republic and it was really cool

As someone else stated, maybe when they start arresting passengers, people will stop using it

Pls swear right here now that you haven't patronised them and u will be dead right there.

Do you have idea of the class of persons riding bikes to support their families and pay necessary bills? Many have lost their jobs and had no other hope than to resort to okada work, whereas the govt has failed in alleviating them. They too are not happy riding bikes. They maybe happy with it now, but does it guarantee a better future for them?

Rather than calling on the govt for regulation and absorption, you're here killing people's source of livelihoods.

They made a mistake in the first place banning it, while the dridlock on most Lagos roads are never gone.

Is okada the major menace we face in Lagos currently? They are better challenges begging for solutions that have got no response, and you're here killing other people's source of living.

Misplaced priority obviously!

Most of the people here are Uber and bolt operators that the okada business has prevented them from making their usual higher daily profits. Lol
