Only in Africa would you ban existing transport systems BEFORE attempting to think about possible alternatives. . . .and thereafter, you expect the poor masses to "endure" while you and your rich friends ensconce yourselves in your luxury SUVs to think up solutions at your own convenience. Yet we wonder why the black race remains backward. Conventional wisdom suggests that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, but then this has no meaning here: just destroy the little you have working for you first, and then grope in the dark looking for better alternatives. Story of Nigeria. All the theoretical postulations about light rail, ferry shuttle and other high-sounding alternatives are puerile and hare-brained to say the least. Why did you not provide these alternatives FIRST, so that okadas would die a natural death afterwards? That's the problem with us. We think we are brilliant, yet we never get anything done - as all our brilliance serves no useful purpose other than putting the cart before the horse. 5 Likes |

I've always been against the ban on okada in lagos and other parts of Nigeria, but recently i'm begining to think we're moving on the right track.[/b]The only [b]problem i have with fashola is that he didn't create an alternative for the displaced okada riders. Ever wondered why you don't see majority of motorcycles on foreign countries despite the fact that they manufacture it. That's because they mean well for their country. The white man never wanna see africa progress. They keep shipping cigarette, mariguana, fake drugs, okadas etc.. Which has caused a huge menace in our society today. So, the earlier we do something tangible to address these issues the better. |

iwanchop: Must we always comment wt sentiment?Okada ban in Lag is nt an outright ban;475 out of 9000 roads,common!Who says Lagos govt does nt hv an human face?Do we need govt to tell us nt to ride bike on d 3rd Mainland bridge for example?An outright ban was imposed in PH,UYO nd nw ASABA /WARRI nd nothing happened,y shld u now shout Fashola?Afterall d govt has d right to dictate d means of transportation in its state.there's nothing like partial ban in lagos,police do arrest okada on a close which i believe it's not a major road.even when ur bike is parked in front of ur gate they'll carry it.they are arresting okada on every corner in vi...it's either fashola is deceiving us by claiming that okada are only ban on 475 roads or the police are just sees it as opportunity to be back on the road since the IG ordered them to leave |

Lanretoye: That I welcome the ban on the Okadas and in order to further sanitize the State of Lagos, the state government should consider introducing a levy for driving into the heart of the city (i.e Lagos Island)at peak periods. This would curtail congestion and also bring in some revenue for the state. In addition, it would encourage the use of the BRT which in turn translates to income for the state. Lagos is not for everyone. Those who can't hack it in Lagos should return to their respective states and build them! We need people to build those other states and development would not happen in them if all their citizens keep trooping to Lagos! 1 Like |

afam4eva: Why does the government always use that word "Endurance". Why didn't they find an alternative before banning okadas. It's always the masses that have to endure but the government never endures for even a single day. There're 8525 other roads that the okada riders can ply so what alternatives are you referring to? Ideally if any of the riders are smart, they should start to work on leaving the business for the Keke Marwa business as I envisage that LASG will phase out okada as the Light Rail project comes on stream by 2015. The riders should start investing in alternative forms of business instead of lacking foresight and trying to fight a losing battle. 1 Like |

Fashola, you are anti poor governor and that is against the will of God. How can you collect these poor youth's Okada and destroy it? Is it because you are privileged to be in the position you are in? Is it a crime for the rich to co-habit with the poor? Is it not same God that created the poor and the rich? I think you are been inhuman here and I hate you now with passion. These young men using Okada as means of sustaining their life when we have economic depression, and you are here killing them with your policies.. |

Billyonaire: Okada is not a transport model, and let us not always become emotional about issues. What we should be clamouring for should be an alternative ways of getting people from point A to Point B in a faster and safer way than Okada. I propose an outright ban on Okada, but firstly, let there be more connecting routes. Lekki Epe road is the only access road to ajah area, let the government construction new access roads by the ocean front and also put speed boats on the water ways to ferry people. Let there be helicopter services for people who can afford. Let there be aerial rail line to connect different business hotspots and let many Business learn the new business models that enable them stay home and monitor their clientele and businesses online, this is 21st century for christ sake. Fashola isnt PDP, but he happens to be the only governor I hope was PDP so we can push him to Aso Rock. Fashola belong to my FRESH AIR crew. Seconded. 2 Likes |

And what inconveniences have d governor himself or the honorable members in the state assembly volunteered to endure? Or is it only ordinary Lagosians that know how to endure hardship? Some of the comments here are surprising and funny dou. I think car owners, nigerians abroad, and other privileged people have no right to comment on this issue. Let only ordinary poor lagosians comment, but then most of them do not have regular access to internet, talkless of nairaland, so we would never hear thier painful experience here. It would be interesting to know how many people who go to work everyday by walking several kilometers under the sun and rain, standing shamefully at crowded bus stops for several hours actually support this policy. It is only their opinions that matter because they are the ones that feel it most. Those of us who own cars or live abroad or whatever should just keep our arrogance to ourselves and stay out of it. 1 Like |
