Curious_city: Nigerians, very insensitive to others!!!
Once people are one step ahead of others on the ladder of life, they want to see those below them crushed to death.
I hope those clapping for this ill-thought and blanket ban won't have the need to ply okada in their life. And that
there is no known person(relative,friend,neighbor) who uses this as a source of livelihood.

Talk of misplaced priorities!!

I doubt you know the consequences of this to the communities and environment. Indeed, the bikes in Nigeria are not well maintained and the bikers themselves are more bent on committing crimes. With the introduction of public biking into Nigeria has brought about high increase in crime rate and disturbances on the roads.

There should be other means of livelihood and survival for these group of people than taking to commercial use of bikes.

mikey2fin: Banning Okada is good move. But make sure you guys CREATE JOBS for those Okadas people because that's where their hope lies

Spirit of Okija:

The truth is that Keke Napep is WORST than Okada..

You could run over an Okada man and not ruin your car but with Kekes, you cant kill them as easily as Okada men.

spikes C: look at these ignorants, people not living in enugu talking. Am ashamed of all of you people, maybe u all should ask questions first before vomiting those rubbish.

Info 101, the real reason that stupid so called governor banned okada is because a relative of his( or as it goes, his friend's son) was killed during the cultist war which went on last 2 weeks. The idiot in question was even a cultist too. The guys that shot him was on a bike.

You all who thought that enugu is good a place are just deluded out of ignorance. Enugu is one of the worst place to be, the stupid child-abuser, who can't keep his d!ck at a place nor leave Esut students alone is blinding every visitor with the so said good roads and nice town views.

What do you think will happen to the thousands of okada riders who just woke up today and was told they wouldn't be earning a living again. Just last 2 months, they were all asked to go and register and get a licensing number. It was announced on the radio that it was free, but they had to pay 1700 each for the registration, else you would face the wrath of the newly employed YOUTHS who act as task force.

The stupid governor is fooling everyone that he's moving towards poverty alleviation, while he gives out taxis at the price of a multiple of 3 of what it was imported from china.
Students of ESUT no dey rest for him as he increases the school fees every year. They now pay 122,250 as tuition fees only. Should i mention the other fees? It totals up to 200 for a fcked up state school which he never invests on.

do u know who will be affected by the okada shit;
The okada riders
Those selling okada parts
The task force, yes, they will definitely go out of jobs
The travellers...
Do you know how much the taxis cost, do u blame them when they have to pay times 3 of what the vehicles cost.
do u know that there're people feeding a whole family with these.

People should learn not to vomit sh!t out of ignorance, because me and you have a car doesn't mean the lesser people should be stamped on. They have always been stamped on, you drive a car and when an okada man is in your front, you flare up for him to go out of the way as if its not a mechanical device too. Because yours has 4 wheels? We are all humans, sooner we get that into our thick skull the faster judgment day becomes. Seriously, i would say judgment year

mekaboy: NA WA OOO. SEE PEOPLE REJOICING OVER THE CLOSING DOWN OF A FAMILIES SOURCE OF LIVELYHOOD.

ARE OKADA RIDERS NOT HUMANS? DONT THEY HAVE FAMILIES AND RELATIVES? VERY WICKED AND SENSELESS ACTION.

SO BECAUSE THOSE IN GOVT CAN AFFORD CARS LET OKADA RIDERS AND THEIR FAMILIES DIE?

I DONT LIKE THE OKADA BUT WE R TLKING ABOUT FAMILIES. PARENTS, HUSBANDS, FATHERS.

THE GOVT IN.NIGERIA ARE SO INSENSITIVE AND SELFISH.

WHERE R THEIR BRAINS. YES BAN OKADA BUT SET UP A TECHNICAL WORKSHOP THAT CAN CONVERT MOTOCYCLES TO THE 3 TIRES KEKE NAPEP. THEN LET EVERY OKADA RIDER TAKE THEIR MACHINE THERE TO BE CONVERTED.

Gentleboby: If you open your brown eyes and see the whole world today at any point world history with many challenges Okada work was not the solution neither was the alternative, I don't blame Okada-man but I blame those who support them because it seem there is absence of vision too in their own life.

Have you see them in Greece riding okada or engage in robbery ?

Let us not afraid of robbers people sleep without closing their eyes already together will shall do vigilante till robbers will find their way in the houses of cabals across the country.

Spirit of Okija: Brilliant Move..

I actually felt sad seeing Okadas rolling through a beutiful city ruining the serenity and beauty..

ochallo: I look at Nigeria and laugh, every where in the world, motor bikes are used, even ones that are bigger and faster,yet no accidents, the accidents are because the roads are bad and small.


As for crime, people who are already inclined to crime would simply devise other means to forge ahead, it;s not the motorcycle that causes crime.

This is just like saying, you are placing a ban on internet usage because youths use the internet for fraud and pornography.

i have experienced an armed robbery once, and they didnt use bikes.


It is very clear,that the average nigerian thinks only about himself, if those fools in the senate knew that people actually send themselves to school using the money they make from Okada, and people feed their families with it, they would not make a stupid decision, like that.

okada riding is not a business, so what is? politics

if they know that people who their businesses have failed are now into okada riding, so what should those ones do, the next day.


before anyone makes such decison, you have to work with the NURTW, let the registered bikers submit their names and find ways of absorbing them into other crafts and professions, but no, people in the realm of power just make stupid decisions that make life difficult for others. when i was in Nigeria, i went to portharcourt and had to trek a whole street to my office, because they ban okada.



This would only increase the crime rate in Enugu. If the senate had any literate person, they would have known that. but they are all biggots rigged in.

God, I beginning to believe that there is actually a curse on Nigeria.

londoner: The gov of Enugu is being insensitive to the plight of those who have made their living through driving okadas.

They should have phased it out and engaged these people into the transport alternative.

I think Nigeria should move away from Okada travel, but that should be over time. They could even have regulated the transport sector in order to ensure these drivers have to undergo training and acquire a license to be an okada rider.

They clearly failed to plan adequately.

thoth:

it seems all the politicians were cooperating in this operation "KILL NIGERIA" there were okadas in beijine and Qingdao when i was living there.

all4naija: What does that line imply? Must we adopt it because the Chinese do? Please, the rate at which crime has be associated with the group is at alarming rate. Indeed, the condition which they operate and killing people is increasing the rate of death on the Nigerian roads. I still think we are being sentimental about this Okada bike commercial transportation and given excuses for the inabilities of many Nigerians to find other means of survival.

For those supporting Okada riders, it would be good to know that if the rate at which joblessness and unemployment increase is considered to be the root cause for the use, there is every reason to think that in the nearest future there would be more Okada-riders than the whole other working population all together exponentially.

There were times when the commercial biking was not in Nigeria. The causes must be addressed by going back in time to see what really lead to it. Before then, it is right leaving 'unemployment out of the equation' because there were times when unemployment was very high without the presence of Okade-riders.

You cannot regulate a disease, you eradicate a disease and that was what the Enugu State Government did. Kudos to them. Fashola please note
