Checkout Some Dangerously Overloaded Okadas Spotted On The Road (PHOTOS) by AutoJoshNG(op): 1:52pm On Aug 06, 2018
In Nigeria, commercial motorcycles popularly referred to as “Okada” are a necessary evil.

Patronizing them are often necessary due to the ease that they provide in order to get commuters to their destination speedily.

Okada-rides are often dangerous. However the need to patronize them is not particularly helped by the fact that so many of our bad road are only accessible by Okada.


Nonetheless, Okadas have become an essential part of the daily commute of many Nigerians.

Okadas are designed to accomodate 2 people at a time – the driver and one passenger.

However, sometimes, we come across some sights that seem to take the danger of using an Okada a bit to the extreme. It is the sight of “over-passengered” Okadas. These are sights of some Okadas who exceed capacity of passengers that they were designed to carry at a time. Some times, they exceed the passenger capacity by an extreme number. thereby putting the passenger at great risk.

See photos for some instances.

This one is a normal formation for kids from average Naija homes. Those ones that can't afford school bus, their parents will get them a personal okada man that'll take them to school and back.

Very dangerous ride[s], but look at us now, we made it.

My states commissioner for local government affairs would say Nigerian children are endangered species.

Wow, what are his duties? cheesy
Don't mind me, I can imagine his duties.

There's probably a Special Adviser to the Commissioner of Local Government Affairs and a P.A too.

I saw this at nasarawa state as I had to lodge before continuing my journey the next day... I was trying to pity the hausa boys who were about 6 on the bike.. But it wasnt possible.. They joy on their faces was immense.. And they were driving like animals.. I swear, i was just waiting for them to drop dead so i would have a good laugh.. Some people propagate their own death.. me7dpdI
