Politicians use n dumb.

Y didn't he banned dem b4 hs re election??

@wizzmc do u know how many potential massob and boko guys riding okada in lagos. It is a serious security threat,quite frankly I don't know how we want to build our own abu-dhabi if we don't stop the ghettolization of Lagos.

idesignwebsite: Oga Fashola didn't make the law,he his an executive governor,which implies he is an executor. I am sure he has security report on the menace of Okada in Lagos and the number of people who are crying in Igbobi. Okada should be restricted to street,not highways,especially in high traffic city like Lagos,on this matter I support fashola

Damn!!! But no security report on the after effect of the ban? ACN runs on propaganda and they have mastered the use of high sounding words like 'progressives', 'sophisticated', 'mega city', 'regional integration' and most recently 'security report'...loool

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaints

Stopping Over 40,000 Okada Riders From Their Daily Means Of Livelihood?

FASHOLA really did wrong here but again is PDP a better option? HELL NO. so who do we vote for, pdp will use this against fashola but they are no different. the fact is nigeria is fuvcked up real. whoever comes to power must implement an anti pple policies....we complain about everybody from sls, ngozi, elrufai, rochas, fashola, ameachi. so who do we think is right person to lead? reason y i believe every party must produce a well defined manifesto and stick too it.

Its TA ORJI

This cartoon is out of topic, but enjoy!

ITbomb: I don't blame Fashola , we just have to move with civilization.
My only regret is that he should have made a cushion like buying back bikes like Akwa Ibom did for 50k flat or providing low interest loans for business or taxi

akwa ibom's case is different. Okada was banned only in uyo. Reasons being that the entire uyo okada riders supported udoedehe. . . BTW, how many okadas dey uyo sef? Fashola no go wan try give all okada riders N50k for lag nah. Lagos state wan broke?

idesignwebsite: So because of that,he should watch them die everyday abi and kill innocent passenger with them.I am sure if u go to Igbobi majority of the patient are Okada riders flaunting the rules.

Stop pushing this rubbish argument! How many of your relatives are in igbobi? Who do you think you are fooling? Fashola now cares that is why he made the law crap! So his caring heart is also why he is crushing the bikes and asking the people to go to hell? Stup1d hypocrites!

In a sane society, Fashola will never occupy another public position because the pictures above just proves he can never be trusted. He is a two faced hypocrite and usurper! Just imagine. Use them and dump them! If you don't need them, you don't use them. It is clear now that ACN supporters are the worst hypocrites and liars in Nigeria! How can we ever trust a word from their mouth! The picture above says it all!

idesignwebsite: @wizzmc do u know how many potential massob and boko guys riding okada in lagos. It is a serious security threat,quite frankly I don't know we want to build our own abu-dhabi if we don't stop the ghettolization of Lagos.

seriously? is banning okada going to make lagos look like dubai? security threat? FASHOLA should also ban cars as well for security reason since bokoharam have been using cars for their sucide attack.

mrkels: A Puzzle: Which governor distributed helmets before election & seized their bikes after election?

I'll use the "Call a Friend" life-line, i'll call eko-ile.

I stay in Lekki and there is no sign of Okada Ban here.

Frank-C:

so do papa deceive pikin. In my state(akwa ibom), they use words like 'uncommon transformation', digital, 'dynamic', 'miracle governor', . . .

Just imagine the credentials of ACN, the so called righteous party that want to rule Nigeria:

Ethnocentric
Tribal
Elitist
Arrogant
Divisive
Callous
Anti people
Undemocratic
Uncivilised

Yet they claim they are better than the PDP. Ironically, their last 2 presidential candidates (2007 and 2011) were borrowed from the PDP. One was even a rejected crook. They claim they are more politically advanced than everyone else, yet one man tells all of them what to do and pockets all the juicy contracts in their states. So much for credible, progressive party and political sophistication. Sad!

Is this what they want to present to Nigerians? A party that is aggressively pushing ethnic profiling will now go to the same Nigerians in 2015 and ask for their votes? Something tells me they are not intelligent at all.

On the other hand, maybe they have realised they can never win the presidency so they now want to build a kind of regional empire. Only problem with this is that they are not democrats and are anti people so they will eventually self destruct!

When will Nigerians grow? you expect fashola to exonerate them if they are indulging in acts that are contrary to lagos state govt policies. this is the cause of our retrogression in this nation. why do we jugde destructively? if u are once a victim of okada menace u'll definitely be conscious of ur utterances. am not in support of okada ban but they need adequate monitoring and coordination to avoid turning lagos to something else and that is exactly what lagos govt is trying to instill .

Lol, abeg ah neva wan die 4 laf. 9ja, fash n all, u cnt jst attain what took america 200yrs+ to attain 52yrs. Nt dat it is impossible buh u av 2 tk due consideration jst lyk YAYA BONI of benin republic did to cotonou. If u avnt bin dia b4, go n c 4 urself. Me dnt really suport Okada ban.

I guess reading is one major problem of we nigerian, I still dont understand why u people find it hard to understand simple things, u guys shld try and get a copy of the lagos traffic law and read, it was stipulated in the document that okada must not ply some major highways in the state, get the document (itz all over the web) and u will see the list of the roads okada riders are not allowed to ply, not that it was totally ban from operating in the state. you guys shld try and knw watz in the law b4 posting rubbish jor!!

fashola u r very wjcked how do u want dis pple to survive?

A ROBBERY OPERATION TOOK PLACE LAST WEEKEND DURING WHICH THE ROBBERS TOLD THE OLD WOMAN IN THE HOUSE
"Sorry ma! we just have to do this. What engaged us from doing this has been taken away, so for now, we have no alternatives."
In as much as I don't appreciate all the excess of these OKADA riders,
I think the swiftness of banning them is too sudden for a society like ours.
Where do the operators turn to to take care of their family, pay school fees, pay house rent, etc.
Hope our community is not in trouble by this reformation?

@thelastpope point of correction,I am a PDP member,and was against the policy at first considering the lose in man hours I suffered as a result of the rampaging Okada men,but to my surprise I saw most of them driving against traffic on the highway to beat traffic,if that is not insanity,abeg tell me what it is.

Yoruba will always turn and stab you at the back. Am not surprised

The minimum wage in Dubai & Abu Dhabi is 3000AED ( N130,000), how much does an average income earner take home in Lasgidi. The unemployment rate in U.A.E is less 10%, how & where do you start to compare.

dabrake: so do papa deceive pikin. In my state(akwa ibom), they use words like 'uncommon transformation', digital, 'dynamic', 'miracle governor', . . .

Are you now suggesting that you agree that ACN is at least not better than the PDP?

@batiatus Seriously you made a valid point,so no comment.

ilorioluwaseun: fashola u r very wjcked how do u want dis pple to survive?

It is a tough question,but dynamic changes come with sacrifices.People just got to learn to adapt without sinking,because at the long run,it always turn out better.

So many people in lagos will be bettter off having their own small farms,making hard but decent living,in relative decent environment in country side.

Corruption is the main problem and you seem like a political thug defending his daddy.

There are certain laws that have to be bent because of the people it can harm. Take the illegal immigration of Mexicans to USA. They are commiting a crime but now, many of them will be given amnesty and an approach to citizenship because the cost and harm in relocating the illegals to Mexico are too much.


There are many Okada riders that have been sustaining families with their Okad. Why not create jobs in the transport industry or create a moto gp race where okada riders can compete or something before banning the Okadas all together?

How would these poor people feed or eat?


You are a wicked soul.

Stop spewing this BS! Stop blaming Oaka for your incompetence! You and your ilk are callous hypocrites and 419!

Answer the questions. If the Okada guys are criminals and security risk and destroying Lagos,

1. Why did he use them for his campaign
2. Why did he distribute helmets to them
3. Why did he issue them licences and permits?


He is a deceiver! A fraud! A hypocrite! A usurper! A despot who carries out ethnic profiling in a multi racial and multi ethnic period in history. He cares only for his pocket and for the pockets of his sponsors!

@ lostpope,whoever read your comments would think its borne out of genuine concern for the Okada riders. All these your false sympathy doesn't change a thing. PDP remains unsellable in Lagos

NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT
