As much as you feel pain due to the implementation of this Okada restriction (which is a law anyway), you have to see the bigger picture; it is for the benefit of the state.

We need leaders that will do what is right for the state irrespective of whether the right thing will bring us temporal inconveniences

BTW the idea of Okada ban was mooted in 2007, temporarily implemented in 2011, and became a law in 2012... Between August 2012 and January 2020 is 9 years+.

Pls, what is d bigger picture? How is what d govt done d right thing? If u say that there are "temporal inconveniences", what are they & was there a plan to cushion d effect of those "temporal inconveniences"?

Whatever.

We are already overpopulated. Anything that would make some of you uncomfortable so that you all can relocate to your villages where okada is the primary means of transportation is welcome

We need sanity here.

What is d truth?

That okada is an illegal means of transport in Lagos.

There is a law banning it, it was that buffoon call Ambode that relaxed it. We shouldn’t be discussing okada as a transport means in lagos in 2020.

Tonye Barcanista, Ori e ti daaaaru, iwo ashiere jatijati alainironu yi!

A law that was enacted, but every single governor since the enactment has failed to fully enforce, ban and unbanned

If you had half a brain Tonye Barcanista, you wont post the drivel you wrote up here. More stringent regulatory framework can be imposed to satisfy any legitimate security concerns but an outright ban on new businesses like the ride hailing firms is unfair and unreasonable. Unless there are other unspoken ulterior motives behind this action. Balance is needed.

What happened to regulation and a solid enforcement? Why are we always quick to ban things without a working or tested alternatives in place to manage things better and rid the average citizen of any hardship or cause small businesses pain?

All of you defending this ban because of political affiliation or pure senselessness are fu...cking mad!

My brother, the resources available to the state government is not enough to provide palliative that would save residents the entire resultant effect BUT the little they have done should be commended. See it is not easy for developmental change to happen but when it happens the society benefits.

i can't speak for the governor but I believe they are working on making reliable means of transportation available
The ban was just necessary due to the fact that the security of the state was being threatened.

Insightful I support the ban anyway. I'm a badagrian my route is lagos badagry expressway and this riders are the reason why we have traffic jam on that road. Moreover there are speed boats going to apapa from badagry if you don't want to use the road use the waterways
okada is the reason for traffic jam on your route? What kind of road do you guys have that something as tiny as okada causes traffic jam?

Not everyone is water friendly, but once again, you have displayed the common behavior in most humans, particularly prevalent in the black race of, as long as it doesn't hinder me, everyone else can f*ck off.

Okada ban is not even the major concern, it is the keke ban that is the actual problem. You don't ban okada and make at the same time, without putting in alternatives.

But, you people do not have any cognitive reasoning, so, what can we expect from impoverished people of a third world nation, with impoverished mentality. You can't give what you don't have.

Same applies to TonyeBarcanista that started this foolish thread and restricted everything to okada ban. He has never been very smart, hence, his affinity to jump from APC to PDP and be tossed around like a ragdoll

What is ur basis of comparing Lagos to d cities u mentioned?

Has abuja provided proper alternative remedies sef? Why will anyone sit down in Ijesha and assume people of Abuja are living fine with the current transportation means available?

And even in the Abuja, it is not in all parts that there is a total ban of keke and okada. It is only on major roads for the most part, but you enter inner cities like Lokogoma, Lugbe, Karu, Apo resettlement, you will still see keke and okada, from Nyanya downwards to Orozo, keke and okadas are still there, plying routes, and these places are all under Abuja Municipal Area Council, which has Maitama, Wuse and Garki as part of their areas.

A lot of people have zero idea how difficult it is to get transportation from certain parts of the FCT, they have no idea the security challenges, the way one chance people have spread through major parts of the city. Zero ideas. They are being fed rubbish tales by moonlight by those with private cars, dem no go ask public transport people how far.

And Lagos is worse than Abuja, the comparison ismoot. Lagos has more than two times the population of Abuja, transport is generally more expensive, even before the advent of this ban. I am reading people paying up to 500 naira to go from one bus stop to another, just one trip. You cannot pay that much in Abuja.

There should be no comparison between Lagos and Abuja, the challenges are not the same, the population is not the same, the infrastructure Is not the same, the transportation structure isn't same, even the terrain is different.

When people want to make comparisons, they should do so with reason and find places that actually compare. Not comparing Lagos with Paris or New York that have subways, or Abuja that is not dealing with Lagos problems.

Truly so many people in this country are extremely dense and it makes sense why the country is shit.

You are a liar. Fashola partially enforced and lifted the suspension as well.

And it was enacted during his time.

There was a mild enforcement during Ambode's first few months if I can recollect.

Flip flopping over laws and regulations does no one any good, there should be consistency.

If you want to enforce the law, do it very well, regulate fully and stop making senseless decisions without palliative or alternative measures to cushion sudden negative impacts, the ripple effects are damaging!

2 things you can do.

1.Approach the courts to overturn the government ban.

2.There are other 35 states in Nigeria, you can relocate to any other one that won’t get you to work every day late, exhausted, sweaty, and that is affecting your productivity

Any other thing is noise until 2023 that you can use your voter’s card again

Tonye, the kada ban is not the problem.

It is the lack of proper alternatives. Even in the Abuja some of you like to throw around, when okada was banned, nobody banned keke, so people could still move around.

Your article lacks proper reasoning and is too shallow. You are looking at just one thing and falsely assuming that is the crux, when it clearly isn't

You do not have a proper understanding of people's complaints, your mind is structured like that of the average Nigerian politician. Bad company corrupts. Maybe once upon a time, you were reasonable, but you seem to have lost it.

Productivity will be at a low in Lagos, because people who trek 45 minutes after waking up by 4AM to prepare for work, cannot produce anything for you. They are exhausted, Lagos is killing it's residents slowly and you are endorsing it. Our life expectancy rate is 45 years old and it is because of useless regulations like this. Tonye, how many more years do you have to live as a Nigerian?
