Hmm people una don hear? Na okada riders and keke drivers this one go affect pass.

Why ban it? Are those taking it babies that they don't know alcohol is not good for their bodies
? Leave them let them continue to destroy their organs. If they choose not to have sense so be it.

Who will enforce it?

The ogogoro drinking policemen? I expect them to seize the ogogoro and take it to their barracks to 'throw-away'.

I feel for the region that uses ogogoro for party. Beer region won't feel it.

Why not just tax it heavily to make idleness beneficial to the system?

What of those already in circulation

Garage people will soon protest

Don't you know that many are mad but few are roaming the streets. Some will wake up as early as 5 am to drink all these alcoholic drinks. They have crossed the Rubicon, no going back. They say smokers are liable to die young , these people continue taking cigarettes. It's in their blood!
