GOKADA And Our Government by thinkmoney(op): 10:32am On May 16, 2022
A Nigeria adage states that when people carry a corpse pass your frontage it looks to you like it's a banana plant stalk. The meaning is that, people don't get concerned or agitated by bad things happening to others until it reach them.
The events of lynchings in both Sokoto and Lagos this past few days, on unjust accusations is deeply worrisome and do not bode well for the future.
But people will like usual, go on with their lives. People will still not see that something has to change drastically about the way we choose our leaders.
When some visionary investors brought GOKADA and OPAY bikes to be carrying people, our politicians frustrated and killed the project because of selfish political and economic gains.
The thing is, that project would have sanitised our transport sector and boost security significantly as every rider could be traced. But see what we are left with? Northern miscreants that ride bikes under heavy influence of drugs and commit crimes!
Are we still not going to get serious with how we elect our government representatives and hold them accountable? Are we not going to stop electing just based on tribe, religion or affinity? Are we not going to make the sacrifice of getting our PVC and voters card?
The gentleman that was murdered in Lagos was a friend of my very close friend. You see how close evil can get when we allow it continue unopposed?

Lagosians should protest and stop riding those okada. They are signing their death warrant by taking any okada driven by Northern males.
