A fail government. This APC guys are only good in making noise. I dey blow okada from mile 2 straight to Alaba, nothing dey happened. APC is an evil party that was formed to destroy this country. God pass them.

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.

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

The is very good for security of lagos state, most of these people are not even Nigerians , no address , no family here

It's risky , if blow up your state , stay and defend it , during election they will all go back and vote , then come back to Lagos at every little sound of bomb !

It's a good move by Lagos State govt , he that damage his sleeping mat , let him sleep on the floor !!

But they have full support from their Oga at Aso rock, the governor can't do much. Secondly, tinubu also needs the full support of the same Oga at the Villa in his dreams to be president

Untainted007:
Ofcourse, they will surely make it back to the road. Fashola did more than this to scrap off bikes off major roads in Lagos during his terms, but befr you say "jack" they were back on the road. The only issue is dat, it's now an avenue for police to make money and be chasing bike with their vans as if they are thieves, so they can exploits them

frowland:
Oya drive the okada enter Ikeja, Island let's try.

helinues:

KennieKingOba:

Meanwhile we sell Greek Yoghurt, frozen yoghurt, Yoghurt Parfait, and natural fruit juices.

Iyiataata92:

I was in Lagos the other day and even rode an Okada. Then, I remembered the below quote.

”what makes nations successful is the ability to find public policies and political institutions that their people understand. Part of the problem of Uganda (and Africa) is that we spend so much time reciting foreign ideologies chapter and verse but always fail to relate them to our realities. Thus, while our problems are local and the demands to solve them are locally generated, the tendency is that when it comes to designing solutions, we retreated to theories drawn from textbooks.

These theories evolved in North America and Europe to explain a specific historical experience – how changing technology drove structural change and all this led to political struggles. These struggles were nourished by existing norms, values, traditions, and shared cultural understandings and therefore produced a specific institutional set-up. It is unlikely that one can copy and paste it on a society with different social dynamics and they work. Therefore, a major source of failure in Africa may be this mismatch between demands and solutions.” ........Andrew Mujuni Mwenda (Ugandan).

The above quote is the closest thing to the real reason for our poverty and policy problem in Africa. You don't import solution to a problem. rather the best remedy comes when you adapt a solution naturally based on your unique situation.
