Most okada riders are trouble makers I know... But punishing them this way is wrong. Some of those biked were bought via hire purchase. Some would have taken loans etc...

Lagos government should be more sensitive in touching people's businesses and sources of income anyhow. After all, they made money off these riders daily
Na wa o, why is that is only when Lagos react una go dey give advice as if say una get brain.

When Kano ban okada, why una no go solicit make gov't provide alternative for then or some part of East

Very soon una go say make Lagos government dey feed all Almajiri.

Government should should compensate those affected just to be fair
Because those bikes na person sweat and means of livelihood
No. Government will not do that.
Lagos government has already banned Okada like 2 times now. So anybody riding bike should have known that government is against them.
They just didn't think government will seriously strike hard this time around.

This is all shades of wrong... Thousands of people's livelihood destroyed just like that How will their dependants live? They'll say robbers are increasing.

Government must find other sources of income for them

Lagos State government cannot. It is impossible. Lagos should be securing " other sources of income" for Malians, Chadians, Nigeriens, Beninoise etal we did not invite to Nigeria let alone Lagos? Why don't we give them Nigerian passports then?

There is always the option for them to go back to where they are coming from.

News of the ban of commercial motorcycles otherwise called okada, in six local government areas of Lagos state, by Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu, this week , did not come as a surprise to many, who considered it as long overdue.

This is because security report has revealed that a good percentage of those parading themselves as commercial motorcyclists are indeed hoodlums and bandits who have invaded Lagos.

At a security meeting in Abuja recently, it was revealed that over three million okadas riders trooped into Lagos since 2020.

The bad ones among them are spread across almost all the communities in the state, waiting for the appropriate time to strike. With the foregoing, Lagos can be said to be sitting on a keg of gunpowder waiting to explode

Investigation by Saturday Vanguard further revealed that many riders in Lagos are from Chad, Niger and other parts of the African continent. This leaves one to question the efficiency of security agents.

The majority of the riders are criminals using it to perpetrate crimes in local communities like selling weed, drugs, and other harmful substances in Ogba, Fagba, Agege for example. Also, majority of these riders from the North ride this bike without getting proper licenses/permits from the FRSC. Additionally, they are very reckless and they don't obey traffic rules.

Finally, they are very belligerent and are quick to assault and maim you during a confrontation. They are vermins. let them go back to where they come from or behave like normal human beings.

All very true, and Greatness runs in all Olukumi Blood (Yoruba Blood). Olukumis know thyself! The first Breath of the CREATOR was into Adam the First Olukunmi then unto the rest of Humanity. There are White People inside we Black People, but their are not Black People inside white People because they don't have the Capacity to Carry us. They Descnded from us as their Father and Mother. The whole World is upside down Today because Satan got the White People to Break the Law of "Honour Thy Father and Thy Mother!"

But lately, our Yoruba youths were deceived because they don't know their own History. Yorubas are Specially Created Spiritual Beings, the Original Code of Pure Humanity's Creation is still Retained undiluted in Yorubas. Both ALMIGHTY CREATOR of Humanity and Satan value Yorubas as greatly Treasured Beings. Haven't you ever wondered?! Other African tribes created Churches just as Yorubas did to Serve CREATOR of Humanity but non of theirs was Internationally Enthroned and Celebrated as the Ones of Olukumis (means we Truly carry HIM unpolluted) The first 5 African Churches dominating the whole World and Reconnecting Humanity back to our CREATOR were founded by HIM through Yorubas. Other tribes Created Occults like Arochukwu, etc. Yetbthey remain Local forever, non of theirs is even National let alone Globally Grounded as the Ones of Created by Yorubas which even in the Western World has not just Africans but many White People all around the World as Members of the Occults which Yorubas Created. People are not fools, they know they truly uncommonly get Connected to the Spiritual Realm by through the Spiritual Establishment of Yorubas. Ask yourself why the Greatest African Pastors in the World are Yorubas and the Greatest African Occult (Ogboni Confratanity) in the World are Yorubas.

The True Greatness of Black Africa shall only fully Manifest when Yorubas wake up to fully Connect with the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth because Adam and Eve were Yoruba and the Original Hebrew Language was more Yoruba known as Olukumi (in those days before Satan raised deceivers against the. Olukumi People).

Even the current President of Ghana, Nana Akufo Ado, also idolizes Awolowo as a result of witnessing the Unprecedented Great Achievements which Nkwame Nkruma started implementating for Ghana after he started mingling the Great Obafemi Awolowo which resulted in the Wisdom and Passion of the Greatest African Sage ever liveth rubbing off on him. Many great Visions Azikwe's gang up against Awolowo didn't allow him to implement in Nigeria was passed to kwame Nkuruma. Till today, the Atomic Energy Electricity Generating Project that Awolowo inspired him to do for Ghanaians is still standing uncomplete today. The whole Area is named Atomic, even though the Atomic Project was immediately abandoned after death of Nkuruma, they still have the beautiful Staff Quarters, Hospital, Police Station, etc that was established to serve the Staffers there still being inhabited and maintained till date.

Sincerely, if Awolowo had become the President of Nigeria, by now Nigeria would have been more advance than many Western Countries. This is why the Colonial Masters are also being fingered to have hand in the Nigerian disunity back then.

As a matter of fact, the unprecedented change that happened to Kwame Nkwuruma after he started relating with Awolowo created in young Akufo Ado a special Interest to mingle and relate with Yorubas. He soon started dating a Yoruba lady, who he was determined to marry until his mom said he must marry from his Ashanti tribe. The mom said not even an Ewe tribe or any other Ghana tribe would be accepted except their very own Ashanti tribe. The relationship was so hard to break, finally they had the first Child together, name Oluwafunmilayo Akufo Ado. Even though Akufo Ado finally yielded to Pressure and married another lady, yet he doesn't joke with the current First Daughter of Ghana; Funmi Akufo Ado, his beautiful Yoruba daughter. You can Google the Name Funmi Akufo Ado to clear any iota of doubting Thomas in you.

Sanwo Olu has sympathy and humanitarian heart. Most of the tins these okada pple are doing now they did not try it during Fashola era and can never try it. They didn't even do quarter of what they are doing now before Fashola ban dem. I have sympathy for the good ones but the aboki causing trouble are much.

Are you saying the Nigeria northerners are the only persons who indulge in that business throughout Lagos?
You folks just open your wide mouth to spew hate and nonsense..

The Lagos government gave reasons for the ban and you are here talking out of point..why do you folks love complaining all day..they act you complain..they don't you still wail..

Instead of worrying bout wah yuh cyaa control..shift yuh energy tuh wah yuh cya create..you cyaa control di behavia of others but yuh cya always choose ow yuh respond tuh it..
don’t mind him. Everything is seen as politics in this clime. My only problem is that they should have made alternative arrangements before the ban. Okada have their down sides but we must not forget that they had helped in a city like Lagos.

Is there any reason why the govt can’t regulate these drivers, make them licenced etc? What’s the point of seizing and destroying the motorcycles that many use as a source of livelihood. This is wrong. There is now a potential that the jobless Okada drivers will now turn to criminal activity making Lagos for dangerous to live in.
