Guardian Editorial: The Ban On Okada In Lagos State by adenigga(m): 11:26am On Jun 15, 2021 |
From all indications, the Lagos State Government is not having an easy task in giving effect to its planned, gradual ban on commercial motorcycles from operating in the state. This much is apparent from the stiff opposition the (okada) riders are showing. Their point, that government must provide alternative means of livelihood for them or deal with the bad eggs among them, cannot be disregarded.

If you look at the map of Lagos closely via google maps and its likes You will discover that its transport system is not something you should practice policy somersaults with Sanwo Olu and the people he appoints in that sector lacks the brain capacity to handle Lagos transport Lagos is State City that needs the best brains as governors but have been unlucky most times Sanwo olu is a confusionist Either he bans okada and provide alternative or he modernize okada in Lagos haba 5 Likes 3 Shares

All over the world, good roads are an indication of good living, especially in urban areas. It is an indication of a low level of development to have filthy streets which do not facilitate the provision of water and sanitation. This is an area that must be addressed in the country particularly Lagos State. Streets in urban areas and rural roads are the responsibility of local governments. The comatose condition of this tier of government is the root of much suffering by the people. 5 Likes 3 Shares

Most Hausa okada riders in Lagos are bokoharram terrorists and sympathizers. Be careful before you sit on their bikes. 19 Likes 1 Share |

Okada should be permanently banned and those that patronize them should be arrested and charged to court. They carry their bikes all the way from Northern states that have outlawed okada and dumped them in Lagos asking government to provide them jobs as condition to drop their killing bikes. I leant most of them are even not Nigerians hiding weapons under their okada seats. You all shouting Fulani this Fulani that! Can't you people think that these are the people causing/positioned to cause mayhems in the South. How many southerners you see riding the okadas It's now beyond Yoruba ronu. It's now South think! 13 Likes |

If you are not or have not been to Lagos please hold your peace on this page... Lagos is over populated and the means of transportation is very poor because road transportation alone can't handle the daily movement of such mega city expecially during the peak period of morning and evening. Lagos State government shouldn't do follow follow and ban okada because other states are doing it. Mega cities in China Japan and Taiwan are still using okada till next tomorrow they are visionary and considerate because they know that people livelihood depend on that. Forcefully ceasing of okada from it's owners is not a solution at all. Why not provide a motorcycle lane, implement safety measures, provide safety officers to monitor the activities of this okadas and also limit them from using the major highways to reduce accident, and make sure they wear helmet and other safety wears and limit the number of persons that must enter a bike. Common sense is not common okada has and will continue to be the most effective in terms of time in movement of Lagos populace. Gracias. 7 Likes |

Imagine okada in New York or London. Outright ban of okada and kepe should be implemented. Truth is, Lagos is not for everyone. If you can't survive without a car then relocate to nearby states or back to your states. Lagos must join the leagues of cosmopolitan megacities. I spent hundreds of millions to buy my homes at Lekki expecting to live peaceful but the miscreants without a million on their names are making the place hostile. 5 Likes 1 Share |

The present government in Lagos is an unsrerious one. The roads are pretty much in bad shape, the failed portion of the roads cause serious traffic and people who have appointments to meet-up have no choice but to jump on bikes. A government that wants to phase out bikes is expected to fix the roads and make bikes less attractive to people. In fact if the roads are good people still jump on bikes it will be seen as an attempted suicide on Ur part. I remember the last time I had to go to Lagos-badagry expressway, spent almost 5 hours to get to agbara from Okoko because of the terrible state those roads are. Most people who live in those areas see bikes as their major means of transportation, imagine if the roads are fixed......would anybody think of flying bike on such road? 1 Like |
