In as much as it would be considered progress having moved from fire to frying pan in regards the motorcycle menace one faces in Lagos on Highways especially the lekki corridors, but with the dispatch riders, the apple really has not fallen far from the tree.

In all Honesty, one thinks the Dispatch rider menace is growing rapidly out of hand, these people are reckless drivers, it's more like 80% of "Okada" riders metamorphosed with their terrible attitude to dispatch riders.

They drive their bikes with reckless abandon and cross highways like they own the road while auto drivers are peasants, they want to maneuver in the littlest crack even if it would cost scratches and dents on the car beside it, they hit your car when you warn them about the space being small while suggesting they look for a better route..

They form a swarm of bees if you eventually decide to take it out on anyone of them..

They barely observe auto pointers even lack common sense judgement on vehicular movements..

Forcing a passenger in between the rider and the dispatch box..

Most carry goods way bigger than the dispatch box : with no side mirrors, making them ride like headless chickens at an uncontrollable speed if a car decides to swerve avoiding an object.

No respect to traffic lights: I purposely almost hit one the other day, because obviously he must have thought the cars at the red lights are really stupid.

The other day one was racing with a car not considering he is just riding on two wheels with tires filled with hot air, I slowed down to let him pass and he had this delight and smirk on his face like he had won the champions league.

There should be a law on bikes sticking to the right side of the highway, that way motorist knows to give room for them...

Those dispatch riders are really a big menace on Lagos roads

They ride as if they have got extra eight-life without considering if others have got extra life

Yes they are.
Dispatch riders can pass through your sitting room to the next street if you leave your door open.

Government go reason dia matter very soon

They are already a menace. And they are been crushed by motorists every blessed day, yet they won't learn.

Online business is dead without logistics, but the way these riders endanger their own lives makes you wonder if they have photocopy of their lives.

Ndi Ara, ndi Ara, that's what they are.

Before nko? Didn’t you know that dispatch riders are ex okada riders? They only changed the name from okada riders to dispatch riders, just as they changed the names from SARS to SWAT

U want Me Point and Kill BAN them

They are still the same Okada rider

Never bring a man down if you can't help him up. These guys are trying to survive in a country that offers them nothing . Where the leaders are a group of greedy corrupt criminals .

You took away okada riding from them now they are surviving as dispatch riders , yet you are complaining again?

What works in Nigeria really? Show me one politician from your president who disobeys court orders to any local government councillor that obeys the laws!

Yes they are rough on the roads but caution anyone whenever you can while remembering,that person is a father , a husband, a brother who is trying to feed his family instead of engaging in crime like your government who sit and steal with their pens.

I respect a reckless dispatch rider anytime any day over any governmental official. Because he is earning an honest living while the government just steal !!

Live and let live! Don't give a dog a bad name just to justify your planned murder of the same dog

The admirable thing about lagos which sets it apart from the rest of the country is that they enforce their laws. These reckless riders will soon know that "eko oni baje" isn't an empty slogan.

Terrible people. Rough riders

I thought I’m the only one that observed that. They are a great menace on the road. Including Keke riders too.

Very reckless and carefree on the road. At times I wonder if they keep extra of their body parts at home in case of accident.

This is the most senseless and ridiculous comment I’ve read in a long time.

GTA naija

Dispatch riders in Lagos are mostly transformed Okada riders and they are wired to be suicidal ...

Made me remember Taooma's skit with Mclively as Dispatch rider.

streum:
Riding Bikes in Lagos major roads is still an offence. If you jam one with motor, you'll be charged to court for man slaughtering and asked to pay 500 naira.

Are you serious at the bolded?

Someone other than me has finally said it!

So for that, they should not observe traffic rules? They should keep endangering their lives and others because they want to make ends meet?

Some of you NLers are very weird aswearugad!

Surviving over the safety of others So because Government officials don't obey law, its ok for everybody to disobey the law

Average Nigerian is, reasons rules and regulations enforcement is crucial to tame whatever excesses.
