Pascaldebravoo:
You are so reasonable—perfectly on point.

AngryIgboMan:
Who Would Believe That Ikeja Under Bridge Can Ever Be Decent Like These Pictures?

I was at Ikeja today and have never seen Ikeja organized like this! On a hot afternoon! If you know these place, its hell from morning till night courtesy of keke and Okada drivers!

Thanks to Sanwo Olu... You are the real MPV!

God bless you sir.

Let the world see and know that Lagos is working again

Daddy, I was gentle trying to tell you that the times have changed...that same stretch is not practical for a young woman that works and resume by 8am in Lekki to trek every time she goes or comes back from work. She would have to set out by 4am to walk the 1 hr trek to Ojota , then join her bus to meet up at work by 8am. Also, the taxis are still there but expensive plus they aren't just enough for the no of passengers available to take them. They should provide an alternate means of transportation for us biko.

GANAYAD:
I hope the crime rate in Lagos doesn't increase now

ProWalker:
Lagos is tired of taking off the burden of 35 other states and the governors

Only 700,000 people out of 4.5m taxable adults pay taxes in Lagos state. 2% of the population carrying the burden of 20m people. You want roads, healthcare, housing, rail then again Lagos must create alternatives which includes shelter and employment for people who troop in daily

AngryIgboMan:
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 (My state Governor Onye Onwu Nkwu) 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 the financial and industrial hub of Lagos? Who even brought this useless and worthless contraption called Keke 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! But do make available more organized and well tailored Public system of transportation and movement! If Eastern Governors banned Keke and Okada and heavens did not fall, NOTHING DO YOU.

By the way if you are a Lagosian driver reading this be it commercial or private, please always be road disciplined when driving! Stick to your lane for crying out loud and stop maneuvering like a morron. All of us will get there. E.g is Oba Akran enroute Ikeja bridge. If you know you are climbing the bridge, stick to the left. If you are going under bridge, stick to the right! The mouth or entrance of the bridge can only take one car. Stop tail gating! Don't create multiple lanes and then try to merge at the mouth of the bridge. Thats very stuppid and morronic in my opinion. As you go to the mouth of the bridge to drag it with the rightful owners, you end up defeating the purpose for which you created the muliple lanes! More traffic build up and more hold up!

That aside and For those quoting me and saying "Why am I working and investing in Lagos and why not the East"... My answer is very simple.

Lagos gave my life some meaning that our five hopeless Eastern Governors never gave me. Infact, Sanwo Olus government has been so good to Mainland Lagos where I do busines. Why would I hate him? Why bite fingers that is trying to give my life a meaning? Infact, more of Gods blessings and protection on him as I believe he is taking Lagos to its original plan which in my opinion, AMBODE ABANDONED.

AuroraB:
Don't worry naa
Shebi them be nuisances
What have you and your government made them

LadySwitz:
Eshé. Dirty Lagos.

AngryIgboMan stay there and be writing epistle ontop another man's state must y'all live and hustle in Lagos? Come back to the east and set up your businesses. Come home and pay tax so that eastern governor of your state can use it to develop like Lagos.

AuroraB:
...naa...you are coming first

Simple sturv. Send in the list

Obynolee:
Most of those okadas are not Nigerians

Pidginwhisper:

Maduawuchukwu:
Lagos does not have the power to "regulate" the number of people coming into Lagos from the other states. Every Nigerian can go wherever he or she likes within Nigeria.

BlackfireX:
Still Lagos is a glorified slum.


QED

pymseun:
Y are u guys like this, am a graduate working with Michelin tyres back then. This government pushed the company out of business...now am working with Opay as an Orider. This same government now want to ban okada again. Where do u want people like me to start from again. We leave in a room with two kids,

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.

...I agree. But, have they left? And, if they are still here, what's got them engaged

BlackfireX:
That is why they are called developers.
If we check now you are not from Lagos, nor your family
Lagos is a slum , argue with your nose
