hmmmm , must everything be a bloody joke?

From day 1, there has been a plan by Fashola to eliminate Okadas from Lagos. Today It's wear helmet, tomorrow avoid highways, the day after It's wear knee pads and finally it will be avoid streets. Abeg Okada should go jare. Recklessness, drunken riding and general nuisance to the populace.

dnex:
Licensed Okada rider ke? Once a mallam has worked as a security man for some years and put aside enough money to afford a motorcycle, he has automatically become an Okada man.

Please your post are not objective in the least bit. Try again

@ denex

Is this eye-witness accounts. Please verify such heavy claims

So what the hell are they fighting about?
What was the talk about?

ikeyman do you abuse methamphetamine's?

Fhemmmy:
You mean to tell me that people just buy the motor bike and start using for okada biz? i doubt that oh, haba now, i know Nija is lawless, but dont think cld be that lawless now

That is exactly what happens my friend and that is what my posts have been trying to hit home

Can we please make a poll on this issue.
Am curious to know as a percentage how many Nigerians believe such madness.
Please Michy make this a poll on put in on the front page am curious to know

Remember people at one time the earth was flat. Our beliefs are what shape who we are and the belief in withcraft is another reason why we continue to live in the dark in Nigeria

@ Fhemmmy those are good points that you make. Should these girls be allowed to play the victim card at all?

@ Osisi I wonder in how many cases/100 the parents were aware of what is going on?

Fhemmmy:
I am surprised at your comparison sir, go to Lagos universities and you will see dudes riding those kinda bikes too, so that is of their choices, so once again, if there is okada in Canada, would you join it in highway.
Secondly, those riding okada in Nigeria are doing it not out of choice, but of necessity, so if they have a choice to chose a comfort zone, i am sure they will not ride it.

But they are riding it and will continue riding why do i feel as this your point is irrelevant?
Why are motor vehicle accidents so prevalent in Nigeria?

The fact that their are more motorcycles on roads in Nigeria should mean better preventative measures such as increased training, yearly probationary licenses etcc
It's because Nigerians as a group are terrible drivers little to do with bad roads.
Since you like the comparisons game, here in Canada you know we are sparsely populated their are terrible roads in nooks and crannies.

Either they know or don't know, wallahi its their own pallava.
A random stranger offers you a bad of roses, shouldn't your first instinct be to run as fast as you can away from that stranger.
Nothing comes free in life that should be the lesson to learn from this

Thought so thanks for the clarification.

Fhemmmy:
Train them to ride on the Highway?
Would you allow an okada man to take you on highway 401, QEW or any highway for that matter.
that is even with the fact that everyone has right of way in Canada, not to talk of a place where the drive macho it all and can kill you and run away.

And why not?
There are people who ride speed bikes and Harley Davidson, cross country in Canada. That is their own I would not go on okada on highway in any country because that is not in my comfort zone. Just like I would not drive a Smart Car, because any impact is life threatening.
All am saying is that we can reduce the mortality rates in Nigeria by equipping ALL motorists with better driving practices.

nuzo:
Havent you ever heard of occasional snake rampages in Jos and some parts of the north?

Yes happens in the North during farming and rearing seasons, hence this is provocation bros, When you farm land that has not been used for months, like the article said we need more awareness such as wearing boots and quicker recovery to cases of bites etccc

They only snake I have seen in Plateau was a little harmless Garter snake.

@ Fhemmmy. They cannot go around killing snakes anyhow because they are used for pest controls. I remember reading an article a while back how some parts of India decided to eradicate mosquitoes, guess what happened the prevalence of sewer rats and other rodents increased dramatically.

Litmus:
Jamaicans used to say, and I have since discovered on this very board that it might be Ibo in origin, i[b]f you intend to kill you enemy make sure you dig two greaves[/b].

Can someone please tell me the meaning of the proverb?

@ IICE

Honestly long time And as per marriage I hope you not referring to me _{But yes someone in the fam has found himself favour}

Are we supposed to be having such high occurrences of election irregularities back home?

Why not train these okada riders to be more sensible and fully competently licensed in using their bikes?
Many people in Naija also drive like they are mad, we need standardized rules and regulations for the road.

I remember when I was in ABJ and seeing peeps running red lights just because their was no traffic at the adjacent intersection.
Worst of all no one wears seat belts and some are even intoxicated in Nigeria.
It is not just okada riders who lack safety on the roads.

Shouldn't this be in the health section?
Anyways snakes tend not do bite human beings unless they are provoked.
I wonder if many of these people are out hunting for snakes?

Why are buildings always collapsing in Lagos? Are they buildings codes lax or what?

Kobojunkie:
Well, I think what I said earlier covers all this for me. I know of his history and I keep back there, in history. It is of no relevance to us now and will not, in the future

If you don't pay attention to history you are bound to make the same mistakes
