Fix the roads first.... The inner roads to streets are bad, they should fix that first before ban across the state

JosephXavier:


Traffic gridlock in Lagos is more of an administrative issue and the burden of tackling it falls on the government by decentralization of ports to other parts of the country and proper implementation of the development plan and not deporting people

The other cities you referenced are well planned unlike Lagos

So traffic in other part of the world are legislative issues?
While u believe everybody is coming to lagos bcoz of the port, how many goods have u gone to clear in d port u or any member of ur family......so when ppl come to clear goods dey can't return to where dey came from again, containers r being shipped out on a daily to various locations across d country so I don't understand hw d port made everybody start coming to lagos, so it's only port that Nigerians r getting employed on?

Meanwhile there's no sea in any of the 5 landlocked state of south east, I know u might say I think u r ibo but I know u r coz we know hw foolish u ppl reason

What makes u think lagos is not well planned?..hw can d plan work with d over population and did dey tell u okada is part of a developmental plan

Una no dey get sense

Great move by the government. These okada drivers must return to school to learn a marketable trade or go back to the village and form cooperative farming groups. Security is improving so they should try it. Sitting around and going to the beer parlour, smoking weed or doing hard drugs, and patronizing oloshos leads to a bleak future.

They should be banned nationwide. They are a nuisance on the road. The moment I hate the most is when an approaching an intersection and turning right,my right trafficator is on, still one useless aboki who doesn't know sign would almost run into me. They should be banned nationwide forever and let other daily road users experience peace..

This can’t happen in Lagos. Even in the said areas that they are banned. They still operate codedly. Na Lagos government go tire of crushing bikes.

Why crush them? Give them to security forces and the military to clear out the bush of bandits and miscreants. Or export them to other nearby nations that don't have an enormous crime and insecurity problems.

Fear fear people, just say you don't want northerners and Igbo in Lagos for now because of 2023 election.

Most of the bikemen are niger republic muslims.

U go feed them and their family abi?U go feed them and their family abi?...

God1000:
Lagos state government should please offer them Jobs to avoid the surge in crime and criminality

Why not the Federal Government in Abuja?

Dem no fit ban anything.
Election Don reach and only bikers alone for the state reach 2 million. Ban dem and reduce your vote.

hisexcellency34:
Nonsense. Which fear? Ban them totally joor

Lots of businesses are dying because of okada ban, especially if your office is not on a major road.

God1000:

Duty of government is to govern not offer jobs.

Manny21:
Imagine close to 2 million people losing their means of livelihood. Instead of checking insecurity it will rather deepen it. They are about to close Ladipo market indefinitely. Emi lokan for real

These okada rider are serial robbers and since their association can't fish out the bad eggs. Then they suffer the blame.

Also, ladipo market will be closed cos it's too dirty.
They have been warned buy them no send or listen.

So I commend the government for it's action. We need to learn to take care of our environment even if no be our house.

All Nigerians have villages and personal land. If a Nigerian is incapable of any longer surviving in Lagos they should return to thire village and work the land. If not, they should be able to find support in their villages. Those okada that are not Nigerians could return to thire countries of origin.

Lagos state should reinforce its aim by arguing that the insecurity in Nigeria was also part of its consideration for legislating against these Okada. If there is broad and supportable/corroborative evidence that terrorists have exploited this mode of trade to spread insecurity throughout Nigeria then Lagos state or any state in Nigeria has strong incentive to ban Okada.

Anyone who knows an okada mechanic who is interested in Keke mechanic should contact me

Total ban on okada in Lagos state is a must and a welcome development, for the first time I was able to move freely in oshdi inner streets without fear of okada, the street is less noisy and orderly. After total ban on okada, the next should be keke Marwa, they are also another nuisance to our roads and streets.

God1000:
Lagos state government should please offer them Jobs to avoid the surge in crime and criminality

Which job? There are other things to do. If they can't, they kindly go back to their states or move to ogun state.

God1000:
Lagos state government should please offer them Jobs to avoid the surge in crime and criminality

U forget 60-70% of them are aboki, so who do u want to offer the work to? Aboki?
They should go back to their state let Buhari and atiku give them job

temitope27:
thief dey thief thief? Make Dem come dey go collect

Banning is good but the state government should try to fix the inner roads so that keke and small bus can be running cus most of the street are not good for keke and small bus example is Irawo those place is hell cus of bad road some keke that manage to operate there always fall and spoil due to bad road. Irawo along ikorodu road needs government help cus the people there are suffering so badly they will be trekking for more than 1 hour due to bad road and no keke or bus cus of the bad road.

All dirty market in lagos government should loik into it sack market leaders collecting money and the market look unkept

Really

God bless you for this submission

Amen. Thanks and God bless too.

Total okada ban is a must in Lagos, and even keke Marwa too should follow after total ban on okada, you cannot build an economy around okada and keke, apart from that, they are serious environmental pollution to our streets and road, a nuisance that should not have been there in the first place

God1000:
Lagos state government should please offer them Jobs to avoid the surge in crime and criminality

They should go back to their state. No Lagos indigene rides Okada

Lagos government please ban Keke next, unless an enclosed estate makes provision for them. They should not be any road or street whether major or minor.

There is other work for anybody ridding okada, they should go and learn work, what I hate most is Okada, they should connect with there route if Lagos can't absorb them. Aboki should go back to gate man or shoe maker, Niger should go back and Benue people should go back to farm, no single indigen of Lagos is doing Okada work

BANING OKADA :
NO OKADA MAN WANTS OKADA AGAIN SEF.
SANWO OLU SHOULD BUY THEM KEKE FOR HIRE PURCHASE TO EXCHANGE OKADA AND STOP WASTING TIME ON THAT.
