Politicians are always looking for excuses, for d masses to support their opinion. Fashola is not an exception

What do expect from him before, the man that does not want to see okada will always find an excuse to convince us that its not good.

The easiest way to commit a crime and get away with it is by okada, ban or no ban they will still use it.

God's protection lo sure ju.

Stupid comment! Why not leave acid close your child's breakfast box and claim Acid don't kill children? When something aids evil, any sane individual will do their best to curtail that thing and ensure it is not readily obtainable.

If evidence suggest Okada aided the easy movement of these murders, is it not obvious that the government will make every effort to let the people know thy are doing something meaningful about it?

Have you finished? Please, cram it with some walnut... If you leave acid near your child's breakfast, not only will you blame yourself for killing you child for all time, people will accuse you of the same. Dunce

Billyonaire: I propose 100% ban on Okada. I mean I dont wanna see a single Motor cycle on the road. This is one murder too many.

Most people on this thread are just plain stu'p'I'd and moronic. . .if it was established that the killer escaped on a bike,should any sane person blame fashola for making such comment ?


If banning of okada will reduce crime in Lagosnthen I'm cool with it.why should a place like Lagos be flooded with okadas if I may ask ?

Fash, is not abt blaming .its about calling our securities to investigate the murder case. This is where we need to have good police to be able to carry out such investigation.

Dude, Fasola's sentiment on Okada is political. And i understand why. But blaming the upcoming artist's death on Okada is abysmal and baseless...

Just go back and read that post again, you will find that Fashola never blamed Okada for the murder but merely highlighted that fact that again Okada was used by the killers of the young man. He also mentioned the medicl doctor who was killed by His assailants who rode on Okada. On the basis of His submission, it is obviously in His place to buttress his point about the legislation put in place to restrict the use of Okada and possibly the outright ban of it in the very near future.

Please go back and read that article again and ask yourself if Fashola actually blamed Okada for the death of the young man.

Was the crime committed with a power bike? No! So where is the sense in alleging when the facts on ground clearly indicated that commercial bike popular known as OKADA was used? Go ask people who live in Egbeda, Ajao, and Lekki how many times thieves have come to rob them on SUV Why can't some of you hold your peace if you have no concrete evidence to counter what the governor is saying? At least He did not come out to tell us what we aren't witnessing in Lagos already or that some people wants to bring His government down

Will you keep quiet and say only what you know? There's nothing like commercial bike, bike is bike, deploying it for commercial purpose doesn't change that fact... A bike was used for the hit job, and like I asked earlier would it have made any difference if it was a power bike that was used?

My office is at Oniru in Victoria Island, you don't need to tell me to ask people in Lekki how thieves have come to rub them of their SUVs, most crimes in Victoria Island and extension is rarely with the aid of bikes, a private estate that was attacked by armed robbers few months ago was made successful with the aid of SUVs, not bike, a lady that was kidnapped at Jeffrey's Plaza close to Abraham Adesanya estate (first gate) was not with the aid of bike, the engineer that was kidnapped from Lagos, killed and dumped at Ifo was not with the aid of bike...

What other concrete evidence do I need to counter what the government is saying or should I also add the lebanesse restaurateur at Adeniyi Jones who was forcefully bundled into a waiting vehicle and dumped few days later along Benin Express road after a 3M ransom was paid or the armed men that calmly raided bureau de change operators from Agege to Ikeja in a single operation with a stolen vehicle and without any form of challenge?

Am highly disappointed with some of us on Nairaland! We just go on ranting, without thinking.....
Fashola is showing you the way to political and economic freedom and we r resisting..... Smh

'm not sure u realise u just made no sense by typing dis nonsense.....showing d way 2 make d rich richer and d poor poorer ryt....ur fashola should just jettison his lame excuses and embrace d fact dat he needs 2 do more in d security aspect in lagos state

Local people who are too lazy to walk or take keke na pep. Okada has no place in Lagos. Let it be seized and banned. It was never an approved form of transportation. Maybe compensate owners for the worth of their bikes.

Oh so you knew then people will blame you for the child's death and you also claim you will blame yourself due to negligent hence you would not put the the acid close to the child's reach right? Why then would you expect the state government with the overwhelming information at their disposal that Okada is a major contributing element to the successful operation of armed robbers in the state not do something to curtail it? Would any sane citizen of the state who is robbed by criminals on bike not also blame the government for negligence to do the right thing of banning Okada or restricting their use? Dude get some sense..will you

gratiaeo: Fashola must be HIGH on WEEDS! Ok let also blame Okada on 2pac, B I G and others .......
What a cheap political point

Mumu Boi

Sey na bike dey ride kill those people .. Mumu..

Who am i to judge any man....but sincerely speaking, when u c d act of sum okada riders....u'll support fashola,sum pple dn turn am to occupation(even those with handwork has abandoned their work just bcus of okada)....e b lyk say okada man neva snash ur bag b4,dm neva kidnap u b4....then u go know wetin i dy talk

Tell someone to keep quiet shows your father never brought you up with manners how many power bikes have you seen registered as commercial motor bike with "red" plate numbers? It is obvious some of you just talk for the sake of it. If evidence from the security agencies and most importantly the citizens indicate that top of the list of the mode of operation of criminals in the state is through the use of commercial bikes, why would any sane government not see that as a first bull to tackle?

I am sorry if you are Okada rider and you are pained by the government decision which obviously has benefitted millions in Lagos. You zealots will also complain by the time Fashola bring forward a legislation to ensure all car owners can be tracked.

Okada must be banned, we were once without it and we survived. It is causing more harm than good.

You go by the headline and never bother to read the details of what He actually said does that not say a lot about you as an individual and yet even have the guts to speak vile against Fashola ?

Welfare of the poor is at the federal government level. Even the federal goons in Abuja don't want Okada. Tired of this poor this and that already. They should march to Abuja and demand welfare. That should be in the budget beside PEJ's mission house. Shior

Ejiné: Is this man an idiiot?

I blame Wole Soyinka for Damoche's murder.

And guess what? As crazy as mine sounds, it is actually closer to the truth than Fashola's

What's the meaning of this trash? Who do you expect him to blame? You!?

Omo_Tier1: This statement goes to show Fashola's sophistication in governance. Here in the UK and even in the US, you often see and hear politicians use an incident to promote a government piece of legislation and to drive home their message why it is highly needed. And it helps keep the issues at the fore front and people continue to discuss it and expose themselves towhat the legislation is all about. It has achieved success for most of these politicians down here and no doubt this is exactly what Fashola was trying to do.

His message about community policing by the citizen is very important. A situation where some particular people will go to the village and bring 15 people back with them to lagos to come squat in the name of doing business, hustling etc and after a few days you can't find them anymore. Yet people are wondering why crime in Lagos is suddenly on the increase. Those that live in that neighbourhood should rightly inform the police and security agencies so they keep an eye on such peeps.

This was how people from Akwa-Ibom invaded the GRA in Benin with their brothers and sisters all in the name of squatting and doing Okada business during the day and the once very peaceful GRA with its lovely greens became a zone of constant robbery!

you r a very big goat how has adding akwa ibom to ur post, add any sense to it, you better learn how to write on a social media.

Must Gov, Fashola react to anything that happen in Lagos? This man was the same person chastising the FG for embarking on good governance tour, now it is the okada turn, and this same Gov. Fashola use the Okada Riders for his Electoral Campaign, even many LGAs bought so many Okadas for unemployed youth.

*chillaxing with a bottle of 8.6 and watch them argument with each other.*

I don't blame people for being poor but it's the duty of a responsible government to protect the lives of her citizenries especially when a policy has failed or outlived its purpose. . .the day okada became accomplice to crime,its overall usefulness has been undermined.Despite all odds,obama is doing everything to ban sophisticated militarised arms in the US.

It may not be a good idea but the same gun became the real problem to those whol owned them which justified the ban.

Check MAXIMILLIANO's comment for your answer. You and Fashola is the insane and creul entity giving a Dog a bad name in other to hang it...

You better go stick with your baseless military talks and allow folks with sane mind discuss topical political issues...

you call those nonsense you wrote above,'sane'.
Funny.

D Granite: you r a very big goat how has adding akwa ibom to ur post, add any sense to it, you better learn how to write on a social media.

It won't change the truth of what I said. Anybody who lives in GRA in Benin will confirm what I said in my post. Listen, it is stupidity when something negative that is true is said about your people and you resort to insults.

I live in the UK. And when I get confronted that Nigerians are liars, cheats and criminally minded, I cannot but understand why any body will say so because my fellow Nigerians exhibit all of those behaviours. Same goes with your Akwa-Ibom people in Benin when I stayed there for holiday. In fact, many areas in GRA began restricting Okada to operating between 7am and 5pm because as at that time, most of the akwa-Ibom people who were mostly security men and house help leave their wife at home when PGA is gone to work and connive with their brothers elsewhere to go rob people using Okada.

What I have said is factual and I will not apologise for it.

solomon111: you call those nonsense you wrote above,'sane'.

Did I not ask you to go back to your baseless military thread and allow sane people discuss politics?

The question you should ask yourself is must you comment? If fashola doesn't react to things that happen in Lagos, why is he the governor? Take a nap and come back to reread this your post.

We might be cruel for the sake of the millions who deserve to live in peace. I am sure (God forbid) when you become a victim of criminals who rob using bikes you will take a different stand, unless you are also a criminal who trade has been put out by Fashola's bold piece of legislation No?

What a dumb statement from 'Mr Eko o ni baje' and some thugs in the house are calling Jonathan all sorts of names! Well, Fashola is warming up as a better candidate for APC come 2019 till then let's wait and see

There is keke napep as an alternative. It is like okada, but weighed down by a carriage. So it cannot speed as fast as okada or be used as a getaway for criminals. Only the criminal minded will complain about a ban on okada. As the alternatives are there.
