These keke people were a total and complete Nuisance. They constituted a whole lot of mess in Lagos.

Does Okada ride in Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, Berlin or New York?

Even, is Okada in Onitsha? Why would Okada be allowed in Ikeja the seat of government?

For those saying crime rate will increase, thats unless Lagos state government is clueless and stuppid. Sanwo Olu is smart though as far as I know and a very hardworking governor. You can deny this if you want... But the heavy volume of work going on Lagos roads speaks for itself.

Obiano the drunkard banned Okada in Anambra. Did heavens fall? Rochas even went to the extent of banning keke in the entire state. Did crime rate increase? Was okada not banned in Nnewi even with the rate of billionaire Okada importers from that axis? Did anybody die?

What most of you don't know is that Nigeriens, Chadians, Sudanese, Malians and Somalians took over South West without anybody knowing! It was gradual, crude and definite.... But they were almost succeeding before I believe Sanwo Olu stepped in. At a time, I was asking myself if there is no regulatory body managing these people in Lagos anymore.

They virtually took over Lagos with there stuppid, crazy and mannerless style of driving. They felt like Lords of the city and if you try to caution them, they will bow there heads in foolishness to thank you. But in there hearts, they were calling you Mumu after scratching your car.

What is Keke doing in Victoria Island? Who even brought this useless contraption to Nigeria? India that manufactures these nonsense made moves to regulate them.

Google Indian roads and see how organized keke driving is. But in Lagos, its madness! They will keep on creating multiple lanes that cause traffic, scratching peoples car with no mercy, hitting pedestrians with reckless abandon while using there Okada and useless keke to rob at night!

I ask again, is Lagos no longer a city? Why is there no Okada in Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, Berlin, Stuttgart, Dubai, Osaka, Chicago or New York?

Sanwo Olu if you are reading this, its not much about making these laws. Its about enacting and enforcing these laws! Enforce the ban and see sanity return to Lagos!

That's why I said prison awaits them. They will learn their lessons there.

Don't give criminals and terrorists space in the cities. They will take your peace away.

Ttipsy:
ehyae... take heart. it's well brother

sisisioge:


Thank you o omoge...I made the mistake of going out yesterday. Oregun to Ojota only...it wasn't easy. I just wonder how tomorrow will be. It is well.

Raalsalghul:
I'm telling you my sister, most folks will get to work late tomorrow.

Imagine the number of folks that stood at bus-stops yesterday on a weekend.

Never thought I would say this, but we need those bikes/keke, at least until they're willing to improve on transport infrastructure and facilities; one of such is the railway.

DAVE5:
In Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, Berlin, New York and every other developed nation, they have multiple transportation systems, that way, no sane citizen would not opt for a bike knowing it's dangers

Nigeria has no good transport system, the citizens are the ones catering to their transport challenges

When brt was introduced, it reduced some burden, brt is not enough, check the number of people at brt stations day in day out

Well Monday would tell the difference on us


In fact Nigeria has no infrastructure whatsoever, the citizens provide for all their need whne the government should be doing so

Sparkle777:
As much as I feel bad for those whose source of incomes and livelihood were abruptly stopped. Let safety be our watchword, a clear number of them are not even Nigerians. These ppl are dangerous, some are even boko haram spies sent to monitor and learn the city. If u ever applauded Amotekun,then this should be supported. It's such a horrible thing that the Fed Govt ignores massive pleas about our lack of safety. My only prayers is for a better alternative to come fast and soon.

voltron14:
Oregon to Ojota that some of us have slapped with vigour in days gone by.

Time was when you could find cab services at the parks on the right hand side on your way to Oregun from Ojota and I'm sure they still operate there.

Buses run that route and Okadas would not be the means of navigating that terrain.

samtol4:
do you alternative jobs for the okada drivers ? Pray idle minds don't engage in crime for survival

Dizzyrascal:
understand me, I am not talking about the ban, it is long overdue. I am only talking about the alternatives. That is where we always get it wrong...if you say a man should not feed his family this way, what then does he do? That is my point....

What of the Lagosians that use their services what are the alternatives for them too...or dont they deserve consideration? This is the part of policy formulation that we always get wrong

ProWalker:
Without apapa on the list, the policy would be meaningless to many of us

That is the epicenter of the okada madness, that is where the okada thugs killed LASTMA officials last time, that is the place the okada drivers will cause a mob at the slightest excuse, that is the headquarters of the Nigeriens okada riders in Lagos constituting nuisance from Central Avenue to Kogi Abayomi, from Area B to Wharf Road.

Okada is counter productive to the security and well being of Lagos

ProWalker:
Shut up!!! We don’t need and want okada in Lagos.

If I were to be the governor, it would have been total and complete ban of okada in Lagos

Lagos don’t need people like you than are more interested in personal convenience that the good, security and safety of the majority

All your noise boils down to your own personal convenience

How old are you?

My bad, thought I was conversing with an adult.

Amanda4life:
Its nice.

But crime may increase.

At least Lagos has been the most peacful among the mega cities we have in Nigeria. But from now I don't know.

Just know that if one road closes another opens.

Maybe good road or bad road.

Smartchoiice:
Shoot the criminals at sight.

Coolcalmcollect:
you go trek tire, you're talking as if you've never had to take a bike to meet up an appointment... no worry sebi your car naim dey make you jam talk. when you miss flight cos of ikeja airport traffic or miss contract your eyes go clear.

TheMan3:
you guys make a mistake of putting beauty of environment as priority as against humanity. What happens to the families of the millions that has just been rendered jobless by this small move? Do you know how many children that will drop out of school because of this?

Let's have love of humanity in our hearts first before anything. Nobody will love to do okada or Keke work everyday if they have jobs.

If we are to compare Lagos with Tokyo and newyork, does Lagos have well organised subway system? Are there functional high speed trains? What about monorails and trams? Are there jobs? What about social security, access to credit and business support system?

Bottom line, before the government brings a policy that will in one swoop render over a million people jobless, they should ensure the society is working.

These people are trying against all odds to put food of their table, and the same government that destroyed the society is still the same one opposing them. This Is sad.

Dont put beauty of the state before humanity.

Amanda4life:
Maybe there s need to invest more on arms for security personels

ProWalker:
You don’t need to be old but stupid like you to understand the place of welfare, security, safety and the good over all above individual convenience.

We gave up our own family house so that a road can be expanded, that is sacrifice, not ranting here on NL because the govt enacted a well thought out policy that will inconvenient you and your kind

sisisioge:
Abi o. We are the real Lagosian who get burnt at all levels because of this new policy. Apparently, they didn't do any feasibility study!

1. No means of transportation for us.

2. The high crime rates will also in our backyards because the same people who decided to create sudden thousands of unemployment are fortified by the few real police we have. Who will one chance rub? Whose house are petty armrobbers coming to? Whose bags/phones get snatched on the roads? Well, I hope this impending menace get shared round!

It is well...we will soon all leave them to manage their country. Once God blesses me enough to escape this helllhole, I ain't coming back fa...my Children will not be unfortunate to live naija!

Larryfest:
Lagos will be a bit traffic free and decent.. Those bikes are nuisance to the road but they should have left keke at least push them to the garage for easy mobility.

Raalsalghul:

What alternatives did they provide?

You just decided to attack the Okada riders and leave out the container/tanker drivers who can constitute same nuisance as well.

Or do you want to tell me we've not had some deaths as a result of reckless truckers, why haven't they placed a ban on them too?

Abeg your own no follow, apart from wharf to liverpool and back, propose how someone would be able to move from warehouse road to GRA without private transport.

ENIGMATIC2023:
Millions are now jobless as a result of the ban and you said that you are fighting insecurity....
