Most of the critical infrastructure in lagos was built which oil money due to it been the former Capital.

Are you from Lagos?

So it means people should not obey laws in Lagos?!

Meanwhile, some Okada drivers come from Chad, Niger Republic and even as far away as Mali.
>

Bluntemperor:
You have sense bro!
Many above could not consider that most of the inner Roads or routes are far from the main road and there are no interconnectivity!
It is unfortunate that we just come to the Forum and speak without consideration.
What alternative vehicles do Lagos State provide for citizens that are 2 or 5 Kilometers from where the busese drop them? Do you say such will work the kilometers everyday without breaking down? Most of those holding meetings with the Governors have multiple sources of movement in and around them.
We are just greedy chaps without considering the very Masses we took oath to rescue from poverty and we care less.
The Okada riders too are reckless and have no training whatsoever,hence the high rate of accidents and some join criminals to perpetuate evil in the State.
We should find a common ground like that of India, especially the New Delhi- where Cars,Keke-Napep and Okada are living comfortable to cater for the increasing Population.
God bless Lagos State.
We should should be holistic in finding solutions to Lagosian needs.

kingthreat:
Yes supported. Banning Okadas totally is a waste of time. People who have transportation needs on the inner roads will still demand for it. There is a growing population and the buses cannot fit it. But it is good Okadas are banned on major roads. While driving, these guys can just spin in from nowhere and make you have an accident with them.

Last Mile buses...

nedu666:
This ban makes no sense. How can u ban keke and okada. Will buses enter streets. Will buses serve millions of passengers. It's obvious that the ban is targeting aboki okada riders

The “Last Mile” buses (which are like Danfo) will enter streets...
But you are correct that there is a primarily security aspect to this.

uuzba:
Out of 36 states, only one is developing very fast and you expect people to LEAVE that one state?
It's not possible na.
The more you develop Lagos, the more people will enter it.
If you want people to leave Lagos, then develop other states as well..
The North boys are not going anywhere..

I agree with you, but let them develop their own states...
It’s not Lagos’ job to do so, and they even refused us “special status”.

Eko oni baje!

serverconnect:
Another season of crime loading...If no alternative provided for the okada riders, the ban is useless as letter 'P' in philosophy

DavSagacity:
That's the question I've been asking myself since yesterday that I heard the news. This people are very stupid . They solve a problem and create a bigger problem of unemployment again. No new industries to absorb them....
They should expect crime rate to increase after this their foolish ban on Okada

They can go and work elsewhere...
Lagos is not the only place they can drive their Okada.

You don’t solve an unemployment problem by creating a health and security problem...
A nation that needs to feed itself can use as many able-bodied youth as possible in agriculture!
>

ecomalchemist:
this won't work, you ban them another set emerges the next day

They are not banning individuals...
They’re banning Okada itself as a means of public transportation.

murmee:
That is not the point. So Lagos Government should create jobs for immigrants from Niger republic and Mali and from far away states of Nigeria? Why can't they look for jobs from where they came from? Do you like the menace these Okada riders have become?

tamdun:
Lagos won't provide alternative for them,I believed they have govt where they are coming from, they should go back and fight their state govt,they bring all sorts of problems from their state and expect Lagos govt to solve it for them, same people that will not say pim to their state govt will turn to activist immediately they arrive Lagos

livinbygrace:
So Lagos state government should provide Northerners with job at the detriment of their own indigenes? What happens to the allocation given to their various states or revenue generated? Some of you need to reason well

eduj:
Am not a Northerner, just saying they should handle the process well-especially in this time that Northerners feel they can do anything and go free

The irony is that when Lagos seeks greater allocation (or “special status”)....
Most of these same people will kick against it (often loudest here on Nairaland).
>

Grayoso:
That's the whole point. If you are the sort who rigidly wants an Okada to drop you in your lounge or bedroom then move to a State where that is possible.

Lagos wants unproductive, jobless and criminal elements out of the State. If some cannot sacrifice for the greater good then let them move out of Lagos.

Furthermore Lagos is giving Pantami's compromised NIN the middle finger as Sanwo Olu has approved the implementation of our own State identity card that was cancelled before in the past.

It will now be fast-tracked as a security measure to verify the identity of Lagosians and curb crime. You will soon hear it announced formally. More is coming to secure the State.

Anyone not happy should move back to Sudan , Chad or Mali they came from because that is the point of all these measures. Mission accomplished

Lagos State Resident Registration was NEVER cancelled....
It is a LAW and not simply a policy that can be cancelled willy-nilly.

It has continued to be in effect since the Fashola administration...
The new impetus is it’s now required to access state services (free schools, LSTEF, health insurance, etc.).
>

grandstar:
I like okadas.

Based on his calculation of casualties, it means that 2 Okada related fatalities occur each.

I won't be surprised if 5m Okada rides are made each day. 2 fatalities each out of 5m is a small figure and that's why many can't see the need for their ban

Even ONE unnecessary death is too much...
And most Okada accidents fall into that category.

Blackdisciple:

PARADIZEPRIEST:
SANWO OLUU WAKE UP.REMOVE OKADA FROM LAGOS STREETS GIVE THEM FARM JOBS PAY THEM WELL LIKE YOU DO YOURSELF. STOP D HYPOCRISY,THESE GUYS ARE HARWORKING AND NEED TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES ,PUT THEM IN FARMS,OPEN MASS FARMING ,USE YA HEAD.

I guess you are too eager to condemn, you couldn’t even make to just the third line of the news report where he advised youths to access the opportunities provided in the agricultural programs offered by the state government?! SMH

GREAT news!

But why is it still “plans” instead of happening already?
I don’t mind Keke (they’re a novelty), but Okada has no place in any CIVILIZED society!

Gov. Umahi Set To Commission World Class Medical University In Ebonyi (Photos)

By Wisdom Nwedene, Abakaliki

Governor David Nweze Umahi of Ebonyi State is set to commission World Class Medical University.

Speaking with IGBERE TV correspondent, the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Francis Nwaze said the gigantic project when completed will put an end to medical tourism outside Nigeria by many Nigerians.

Mr Nwaze who said the World Class University which will be commissioned in few weeks will equally attract foreigners to Ebonyi State.

According to him, "This is the result of having a committed, focused and dedicated Governor whose interest is for the betterment of his subordinates."

He said : "This is where we are; a medical university that will end foreign medical adventure by Nigerians and attract foreigners to our own Ebonyi State."

"The David Nweze Umahi’s Medical University is no longer a dream but a reality that will be made manifest in just a few weeks. This is the result of having a committed, focused and dedicated Governor whose interest is for the betterment of his subordinates."

"Governor David Nweze Umahi has written his name in the sand of time."

IGBERE TV gathered that the World Class Medical University when completed will treat renal malfunctions, perform kidney transplant, etc.

CONGRATS on building a medical school...
We will ignore those colors as personal taste

But what exactly makes it “world-class”?
The quality of the faculty? The facilities?

What as tribe got to do with this, or are Northerners buying Sugar and Cement cheaper?!

Ask your fellow Anti-Dangote wayfarers....

nnamdi640:
This is how he became Africa richest man by not paying tax meanwhile his compititors are subjected to that. A lot of northerners are in thesame shoe with Dangote while their fellow country men from the south are subjected to pay such tax. One Nigeria is a scam, it is better we go our separate ways because this cheating is too much. You render your fellow men business useless [b[just because they are not from the north,[/b[ Ibeto cement is a case study. You gave Bua and Dangote cement free waiver by killing other cement industries,now cement is expensive as a result of trying to favour northerners.

musicwriter:
Dangote is a huge burden on the Nigerian economy. He doesn't ever have plan to pay tax but always looking for shortcuts, working with corrupt government officials to evade.

Imagine a situation where every Nigerian run their business like Dangote. That would mean nobody would pay tax and government would have no money to execute any project.

The same Dangote who reportedly paid N115b in taxes last year...
With just one of his companies (Dangote Cement) to pay N40.39b for Q1 2021.

https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/DANGOTE-CEMENT-PLC-7814083/news/Dangote-Cement-nbsp-to-Pay-N40-Billion-Tax-in-Q1-33155469/

Btw, the whole concept of a FREE TRADE ZONE (such as the Lekki Free Zone, where the Dangote Refinery is sited) is that it is TAX-FREE AND DUTY-FREE (the former usually for the first 10 years, sometimes renewable), so that the Dangote Refinery is even paying anything at all is a plus for the Nigerian treasury.

Meanwhile, tax-freedom for cement producers is for those who have built and operate actual cement factories (and hence enjoy “pioneer status”). Accordingly, when Ibeto completes its own factories and begin actual production (not simply importing and bagging cement), it will similarly enjoy pioneer status and tax-freedom. Don’t be blinded by petty-minded ethnicity and pay attention to the laws.

iammo:
That Dangote is very greedy, his battle with Otedola over AP around 2007 showed how ruthless he is...

Uyi168:
When I tell people there is nothing special about dangote,that where he is today is as a result of special favours from the govt to the detriment of others, people will come for my head..

mbaise1000:
Na today? We all know that dangote is being promoted and given preferential treatments since forever, more intelligent people were suppressed so that dangote will rise, concessions were given to dangote against every other competition, why are they making this noise now? Africa's richest man indeed, we know that if 10% of the things allowed and given dangote is given to any average nnewi person, he will be challenging for the richest person in the world

yommen:
The fake Billionaire.

Exactly! Dangote is obviously from the “wrong” tribe...
The people from the “more intelligent” tribe are being held down for Dangote.

I can understand spiff of the johnsons own

But for this one, it's obvious the sitcom is preventing her from living her baby girl olosho lifestyle so she had to quit

Modified: To those quoting me una dey craze. This babe bought a new Gwagon. So in your foolish minds it's the money basketmouth is paying her for her role that bought it abi? Or is it the small restaurant she has that bought it? Just so you know a blogger revealed the yahoo boy that bought it for her

You do know that, apart from the restaurant, she has a full-service catering and food delivery business (and probably other side hustles)? It is rather CRUDE AND PRIMITIVE MISOGYNY to think that the only way females prosper is by prostitution. SMH

Just see how this pretty girl lost her life to one animal covered in human flesh

Jeezuzpick:
Her parents sent her to school to learn, she go get boyfriend.

She no even fit get better boyfriend sef, she had to settle for one igbo-smoking, violent riffraff.

Some girls will see their "BF" fight and beat other guys, they will be happy that they're hitched to a "real man", an "alpha male" of the species!

Den no know say cane wey den use beat first wife dey chill dey wait new wife.

Anyway, rest in peace, fine geh.

Na who you tok say you love kill you die.

Lazycapitalist2:
Love can be something that blinds people.

To the point that they will marry someone who beats them up on the thought that they will change him. Well if his own parents who have been with Him from birth cannot change him, is it you the girlfriend? That has known him for some months?

bizhop01:
Mama send her to school she chose to do boyfriend, I can't tell her to rest in peace.

Bro you are right. Most of them are senseless and they don't know what's called commitment, out of anger the boyfriends beat them mercilessly but I rather send you away than beat you to death.

Wow! Miss. Jennifer served her Industrial Training in my office. She was intelligent, hardworking, deligent to duty given to her and always listen to learn new things.

Though she believes in her thoughts and sometimes want to enforce it does not give this 'idot' the right to end her life this way.

I am pained because she do tell me her her dream towards her mother as 'Ada' and the only girl of her parents and her intentions towards her only younger brother has been terminated suddenly. What a waste!

Pls, ladies, let us learn from this and know when to quit no matter how this love is 'sharking' me.

Jennifer, no matter the circumstances of your death, you will be surely be missed. Entire Zonal Office was moody today when this news filtered in.

Farewell and may God grant you eternal rest.

they are more pressing issues to attend to than talking about the red bra of one local clout chaser looking for cheap attention..

Amotolongbo:
And you think the 14year old girl wasn’t so foolish to have allowed that from Baba Ijesha, even if it was a set up.

Everybody dwells on the fact that she is a minor. Being a minor hasn’t given her the reason to have submitted herself and played along with a godforsaken paedophile. My parents taught us to be hostile to any masculine (old or young) advances before stepping into adolescence.
A minor today becomes a major tomorrow, a minor you failed to rebuke today cos the violator is an adult will never realized the magnitude of her foolishness.

Crucify the paedophile and never spare the minor who didn’t resist the pervacious intention, along with the adult who staged the minor for evidence

If I’m the real mother of the 14year old girl, I will be very disappointed in her

When we see a woman talking like this....
Then it’s little wonder that rapes are unreported and underreported and rapists go free in Nigeria.

Do you even under the concept of minority and why minors are treated differently under the law?
One can only hope that YOUR own minor daughter does not get defiled or raped by a man old enough to be her father.

Report him for the following reasons:
1. It is right thing to do
2. He and his likes are the major contributor to our bad electricity supply issue in Nigeria
3. Innocent people tend to make up the difference, by way of estimated billing and higher tariff charges, for the loss of electricity to bypass.
4. If you don't, that makes you an accomplice and although you might not be charged, you have no moral right to demand accountability from public officials or complain about epileptic power supply.
