Keke can be used for ambulance for non-serious emergencies and for a short distance since we don't have many ambulance vehicles yet.

As for police, it's a no no.

Recently, some pictures of tricycles popularly referred to as “Keke NAPEP” went viral.

They went viral because they were being used as ambulances and Police patrol vehicles.

Popular opinion was that the tricycles were substandard for use as emergency vehicles, or as police patrol vehicles.

So, the question is: what makes Keke NAPEP inappropriate for use as an ambulance, or as a police patrol vehicle?


https://i68.tinypic.com/k1sxft.jpg

First, let us be reminded that an ambulance is a vehicle equipped for taking sick or injured people to and from hospital, especially in emergencies.

The interior of an ambulance should have room for one or more patients plus an emergency medical personnel. It should also contains a variety of supplies and equipment that are used to stabilize the patient’s condition while en route.

So if a Keke NAPEP can meet the requirements, so why the outrage?

Let us also know that what determines the most appropriate vehicle to use is the terrain to be traveled. For instance, helicopters, airplanes, boats, etc. are best suited for certain terrains.

So, in our own peculiar environment, especially terrains where the regular vans cannot access – it is wise to deploy smaller vehicles such as tricycles.

As for the police patrol tricycles, if the police can use motorcycles as patrol vehicles, what makes tricycles inappropriate for similar purpose?

Or what do you think?

Guy, when was the last time you visited the emergency section of a General Hospital or a public health centre? Many pregnant women in labour pains and accident victims, have been rushed to such places for medical care using tricycles, and their lives were saved.

If you have a relative who suddenly falls unconscious or is injured, and there are no cars around to take him or her to a hospital except tricycles, will you leave him like that or quickly use a Keke Napep to convey such a person to the hospital? Tell the truth and let the devil be ashamed, o!

Ambulance service is not a slow movement. It is a call to emergency response and intention to save lives. Other caring republic uses helicopter for this purpose and Nigeria is using keke. Shame!!!

Nonsense

How many medically equipped health centers are located within every 3Kilometres in your
area. In Yankee as you observed, every emergency ambulance is more equipped than our hospitals. You need not to pay or deposit
money to receive oxygen and blood . Bro keke for ambulance no work. Is a shame. Kekenapepe is not an option.

Oga, please take it easy. The Keke Napep Ambulances have been modified to include a stretcher, oxygen mask and a few other medical essentials. It can carry a patient as well as one or two medical personnel/paramedics/nurses, in addition to the driver. It can be quickly used to transport pregnant women in labour, snake bite victims or injured people (who are not in a critical state) from an accident site, to the nearest medical centre or hospital for medical treatment/assistance.

In some rural areas without primary health care centres, or where expensive ambulances are not available and the roads are bad, these keke napep ambulances can quickly and safely convey people to the nearest place where they can get medical treatment. Pray to God, that you never get stuck in a remote area with an injured or critically ill person, and there are no vehicles in sight. Guy, if any keke napep ambulance comes up to you, you will quickly flag it down to carry that person to the nearest doctor!

why people keep comparing a developing country to a developed country baffles me ,for our level and our poor road network first keke option is highly welcome and these should be distributed to each and every community ,cda or whatsoever there should be a village head or community head leave the maintenance and fueling to them ,you have no idea how many people have died just because of no access to transportation in the middle of the night on a daily basis .This keke cant be more than 500k do you know how much a toyota ambulance cost it is close to 10m naira if i am not wrong so if we have 20 of this keke distributed to 20 communities don't you think that is better,in case of any emergency access to it is easy and the patient is taken to wherever they can get help shikena ,instead of wasting it on one ultra modern ambulance that will be parked in the CMD's residence and is not ready to answer or go for any emergency calls

Quipped medical centres doesn't require much. Our government have more than enough to put these in place and functional. Our presidential luxurious and extravagant living can take care and replace kekenapepe with Toyota vans or even Innosson"s brands. Nigeria is not developed to build Aso rock and likes of NNPC towers.
What Nigeria need is honest and committed leadership to upgrade our general infrastructures. Does adequate and steady electricity need development? Ghana is not develop. Uganda is poor as well as under develop. Ugandans enjoys steady electricity and cannot use tricycle for ambulance yet Dongote or one of our retired Generals can finance their yearly budget. Shame to Nigeria.
