good. anything to stop the jihadist from causing nuisance in Lagos.

hisexcellency34:
In Lagos, they only value okada riders during election season

illuminaty:
....swears!!!!..Lol

Inasmuch as I want the progress of Lagos, some laws can be unreasonable

Commercial buses are very few that ply within Apapa. How do they expect someone on Creek road to move to Airways, for example?

From CMS to Obalende, the major means of mobility are rickshaws. So will one request a chopper to move about within Lagos island?

Let me not even get started about short distances within the affected local government

Banning them completely is unreasonable.
Rather, ban them from some selected routes

GermanMelania:


Same reason lagos tried banning hijab in schools. Coded discrimination.
They are doing this for crime.
See as eti osa de there.
I don't blame them sha to be honest.

AngryIgboMan:
This is commendable!

From Anambra state, I support this move with 1 million Naira to empower the task force that will clamp down on those animals.

Those animal bike and keke people made me run away from Lagos with my car. Infact, I had to move back my two cars to the East and kept only 1 in Lagos because these animals were hell bent on turning them to Kabu Kabu.

Lagos has now become a mad max kind of city with no laws at all. Green green bikes every where. At a time, I was asking who will rescue this city because its now madness all over!

Sanwo Olu, I am an Igbo man but I love and commend you with passion. You are far better than that baby pig called Ambode.

Under you, the potholes are disappearing at an alarming rate. From Ijaiye road down to Akilo down to Oba Akran ontoward Maryland, your good works speaks for themselves.

Even Ahmadu Bello on Victoria Island now wears a new look under you. Thank you sir.

Naptu2, if you are close to this government, please tell them to take the enforcement very serious be

izzou:


Crime, you say?

Compare the people that are being robbed with bikes, to people that earn a living from it and people that receive satisfaction(getting to their destination) from it too

One common trait from our leaders is they bring in policies to suit themselves (most times),
instead of the people.

It's not about crime, in my opinion

landforeast:

You don't live in Lagos
Aren't you?

naptu2:
The Lagos State Government has banned motorcycle taxis, popularly known as Okada and auto-rickshaws, popularly known as Keke Marwa from operating in some local governments in the state. The ban takes effect from February 1, 2019.

The local governments include Lagos Island Local Government, Eti-Osa, Apapa, Surulere and Ikeja. This was made known by the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Lagos State Governor on New Media, Mr Jubril Gawat. The ban will also affect ride hailing services like O-Pay and Gokada.

simplesearch:
Let all the internal roads be fixed first, then the government can go ahead and ban just anything they deemed obstructive, especially where such obstruction is relative. Without this, the outcome of such exercise may be synonymous with creating a problem out of another problem, which will be tantamount to escalation of same, it won't always turn out well whenever the cat is placed before the horse. Let all the city road and inter-network street route be upgraded and properly linked together, this will naturally make the implementation and adherence to such rule possible due to available plausible alternative. Once our elected officers start undertaking a human friendly approach to governance, leadership becomes endearing and easy. Let the same quantum of energy expended on stereotyping be extended to developing human capacity and infrastructure, when the environment is neat and attractive you wouldn't need someone to tell you to dispose off your trash properly.

Openbusiness:
So people can die inside Lagos traffic huh?Another One (1) term Lagos Governor loading suffer Lagosians very well and say bye bye to your seat in 2023, it's as simple as that.
