Eyah, the first picture, standing beside Sanwo Olu on the left, is that not the CEO of Gokada who was gruesomely murdered last year?
Yea, he went to mourn over the loss of business

Then his PA killed him

A pity

My take won't change - Okadas should go. Must they be in Lagos? They might as well go to other places. It's an aberration to use motorcycles as a means of transportation. But for the disasters we've had in government,a mass transportation policy and culture would have been designed and entrenched. Nonetheless, for security- Fulanis are set to use their army as foot soldiers -,social and safety reasons,Okadas must go. Here, it's now incumbent on the government to fast track a mass transportation system very quickly in order to give impetus to the law and ammunition to its implementation.
For those opposing this move by the government, they still belong to medieval times in a tech-savvy world.

Imagine okada in New York or London.

Outright ban of okada and kepe should be implemented. Truth is, Lagos is not for everyone. If you can't survive without a car then relocate to nearby states or back to your states.

Lagos must join the leagues of cosmopolitan megacities.

I spent hundreds of millions to buy my homes at Lekki expecting to live peaceful but the miscreants without a million on their names are making the place hostile.
Omo! You get mouth o.....

very soon the whole will be like a movie.......when lagos government is ready to chase those useless okada outta lagos......the governor is all ready putting somethings in place.........their eyes go clear.......nobody go tell them, before they start relocating to neighbouring states, back to their villages or find something else to do in lagos.........SHEY NA BY FORCE TO STAY IN LAGOS?
I don't know if the total ban will work in places like Apapa Tin can, or kirikiri and mazamaza, cause when those containers block roads, it's always okada to the rescue,.

Plus many University graduate, and many underpay workers find solance in it,


It's just those bad eggs, mostly from the north, and neighboring country, that are spoiling things heee

That is why we can never grow... if only i could be given the okada situation in lagos let me show them how it is done.



datola:
Okada should be permanently banned and those that patronize them should be arrested and charged to court.

They carry their bikes all the way from Northern states that have outlawed okada and dumped them in Lagos asking government to provide them jobs as condition to drop their killing bikes. I leant most of them are even not Nigerians hiding weapons under their okada seats.

You all shouting Fulani this Fulani that! Can't you people think that these are the people causing/positioned to cause mayhems in the South.

How many southerners you see riding the okadashuh

It's now beyond Yoruba ronu. It's now South think!

you are right.....some areas might be exempt temporalily eg apapa, the entire lagos badagry expressway, ijora, badia, kirikiri ajegunle, ikotun, egbe, ijegun , igando due to bad road and traffic........


But they should start the ban from areas like lagos Island, victoria island, ikeja, surulere, ikoyi, some part of lekki and ajah, yaba, ebute meta, oshodi, mushin, shomolu, bariga, gbagada, jibowu, ilupeju, maryland, ketu, ojota, anthony

If you are not or have not been to Lagos please hold your peace on this page... Lagos is over populated and the means of transportation is very poor because road transportation alone can't handle the daily movement of such mega city expecially during the peak period of morning and evening.
Lagos State government shouldn't do follow follow and ban okada because other states are doing it. Mega cities in China Japan and Taiwan are still using okada till next tomorrow they are visionary and considerate because they know that people livelihood depend on that. Forcefully ceasing of okada from it's owners is not a solution at all. Why not provide a motorcycle lane, implement safety measures, provide safety officers to monitor the activities of this okadas and also limit them from using the major highways to reduce accident, and make sure they wear helmet and other safety wears and limit the number of persons that must enter a bike. Common sense is not common okada has and will continue to be the most effective in terms of time in movement of Lagos populace.



Gracias.
One bottle of cold stout for you

Many people commenting don't live in lag and won't know the situation on ground.

Banning okada now would have a catastrophic effect in lagos

I have seen those criminals mob innocent people to death. They use their large numbers to create total lawlessness. They are a terrorist group.

Their disadvantages outweigh any possible advantage. They should be scraped. A few could be licenses to run the hinterland under strict monitoring.

If you are chased out of Lagos, You had better come to Ibadan. You are welcome in Oyo State. There are opportunities in IB. Come and expand your tentacles. We need you here to expand our economy.

You have to ban it slowly over a period of time. Over a 5 year period ban and enforce it from one area to the next until the whole state is covered.

Because you dont earn a living from it.... the other alternative which is farming in neighbouring states, the herdsmen are making sure that is destroyed.
Because too many people ‘earn’ their DEATH from it…
