More cars and korope on the road too. Traffic galore. A disgrace of a state

Nigerians are naturally stubborn. We like trouble and disobedience too much.

What about the other side of the world where people took to guns and groundnuts to survive?

Nigerians always like to maintain status quo. Any good policy that is aimed to bring sanity and foster development, they would resist it just for their own selfishness.

In Holland, even billionaires use bicycles as a means of transportation. If you don't have a car and the buses aren't enough, get yourself a bicycle if your distance is not more than 5 miles.

Well, why don't you buy bicycles for them?

This is so bad and you need to see how dangerously they ride . I don't know why the government is doing nothing to enforce an order they made. Come to Surulere you will wonder if there was ever a ban in the first place.
The Lagos State government should do something about this and also they should set up a set of strick rules for those mini buses too they are gradually becoming a nuisance.

Shibaraba:
One of them scratch me yesterday but I won't be annoyed. If you're removing a source of income create an alternative .These people have families.

Exactly! We should also do the same for Yahoo boys...smh

Only in a Zoo like Nigeria is LAWLESSNESS applauded...
Then same folks are confused why we are not doing better.

Okada and Keke are banned from 16 out of 57 LCDAs...
And they are NOT banned in the areas that people need it most.

EKO ONI BAJE!

As expected

Go and buy okada and put them on the road,you maybe lucky. Abi okada are back after a month. Just they mislead people

Are you kidding me?....as much as I agree with your idea...do you really want to use a bicycle in a place like Lagos without getting knocked over by drunk reckless drivers or dangote trailers ?......first things first...restrict the movement of heavy duty trucks to the night, sanitize the NURTW which is filled with touts without conscience who keep extorting motorists before your idea becomes very feasible.

police wan hammer...they want make dem full so one day npf go just do massive raid and make alot of money from bailing ur bike

How much will one get a keke maruwa
Both used and new
I wan know the price

Yeah was surprised to see them at Surulere but it's not on majoy highways sha. Very soon they LASTMA officers and their counterparts will sequestrate their tricicles and motorcycles, and probably pawn it off

Shut up! They are back....you need to go out more

You come here to tell me to shut up. You think you are anonymous abi? Think again

Fashola tried this throughout his 8 year tenure as governor but failed.
Anybody that told Sanwo Olu that he could chase this people out, less than one year into his tenure, is really a bad script writer.

He got his priorities wrong

Sanwoolu is such an insensitive human being.

I didn't know he could be this inhuman as a governor.

He has lost the support and goodwill of Lagosians.

Just like border closure, columnist would write and write till they get tired

Which border closure? Its business as usual in the northern borders oo.

Well... When you make hasty policies that affect the masses in without factoring a transition period and providing better alternatives and palliative measures... You really shouldn't expect compliance.

If light rails were present in Lagos, who would even want to risk his/her life flying okada or keke?

The government should stop being stupid and irresponsible.

Fix transportation, and you wouldn't even have to ban any okada or keke because they will fizzle out when there's no demand.

Lagos transportation can't be fixed. That is the cold hard truth.

Didn't you see that Tinubu also wanted to feed from the masses?

Insha allah, we will celebrate 10 years anniversary of the ban, okada in lagos is gone for good!

Oga I know u think ure making sense but just imagine riding a bicycle to eg a job interview under this our Nigerian special delivery 'hellfire wannabe' sun. By the time u get to the office, ur shirt under ur suit and tie don soak, the deodorant would have been washed off by ur sweat leaving everywhere from under ur armpits to ur neck to stew with an unpleasant odor. Most importantly, ur brain go done fry finish! Which question u know say u wan answer apart from 'eh?'

Oyinbo weather and our own nor be d same!

Do you have light rail in your state?

Renforce:
Maybe you the bad driver

I dey tell you. Me sef reason am. Lol

It's better they come back to d road, u need to see how this guys are robbing people massively in my area, their operating time is 2:25am to 3am, they are very fast they don't spend upto 10mins in a house, they are more than 15 in nos operating sharp sharp with their bike at night once they entered they will just ask for phone and money ,if u don't cooperate is either they shoot or use Cutlass on d person .even police can't face them cos they are heavily armed. I pray never to witness it again

In 2012, before motorcycle was banned in Jos, Keke was introduced. Why didn't they at least roll out the buses before the ban

Lagos loju

Can someone now help me ask the ' pointing governor' and all this supporters to the ban that what is the economic importance of the initial GRA GRA? I told those people who cared to listen that if truly it to reduced influx of Northern people from coming in then he missed it, why? Hausa are jack of all trade, master of none, so ban them for okada, na cobbler you wan turn them too, ban cobbler, Them go shift to load carrier, ban that one na wheel barrel you go dey see. So what the daft essence of the bank. Y eye dey smell

Gragra government. Abba Kyari has warned somebody to leave his brothers alone or...

Savage question.

You are making sense, but this will not work in Nigeria, especially Lagos.
Apart from those reckless drivers on the road that can knock you down like a fowl, poor road network, bad road, insecurity of your precious life are other factors that won't make it work. Our whether too is not the same.
