Lol,what a joke!!really??we have bigger
problems to deal with In this country.we
already have more than 50%
unemployment rate and we do not want
to add more to it.the government should
be more concerned in creating jobs
opportunities and not taking jobs away!!
have they thought about how many
Nigerians depend on these to feed their
families?? First of all before they make
this decision,they should provide other
job opportunities for them to fall back
on.beacause if the the government
don’t,I’m pretty sure the crime rate in
Nigeria is going to rise and putting every
single one of is In great danger..,,

We have bigger problems in this country
than to focus on issues i would rather
regard as trivial ….! Before you take away
a man’s means of livelihood, you should
reasonably have provided another
one….this government obviously doesn’t
seem to understand the type of problems
inherent in this country…with the okada
in use, their is still unemployment , there
are graduates who are okada riders,
what’s going to happen when you take
these okada off our streets? I see this as a
means of increasing the crime rate in our
country.

It is not a hidden fact now that the FG wants to place a ban on motorcycles, popularly known as Okada in the country. Now my question is, considering the fact that many people will be jobless, crime rate will escalate, etc. Is the ban really necessary?


I am sure that if you scroll back a few years into Nairaland archives, you would see a similar thread on Lagos and its then proposed okada ban.. You would see so many people curse out Fashola and say how it wouldn't work..



Look at us today..



Wait.. before not too long, Keke would replace Okadas fully and Keke's would be the new endangered specie as they are a nuisance that is even worse than Okadas.. Atleast I can jam as many Okadas as I like and not damage my car too much.



What I have come to learn is that we are dynamic and should stop limiting ourselves. The day sef wey we ban all non government commercial busses, people go adjust and keep living.

Crime rate no go increase if you increase security.


I support it.. Eliminate all....

Yes, it worked in the FCT....after El Rufai offered employment to many of the ex okada riders....

But as some have said here.....get a good public transport infrastructure in first....then we can talk about okada ban

Once the riders are not longer allowed to earn a decent living. I advise everyone to just go and get a licensed gun because in latin words "awon goons would take charge at once" meaning there would be high rate of armed robbery.

Candidly, why would a sane government think of reducing unemployment by creating another . Provide them with another job because cutting off their source of livelihood
Make evry body go buy him own gun! if incase dey impliment dat law.

Pretty unnecessary as far as I am concerned. There are many places which okadas serve as public transportation that would otherwise suffer for the lack. Government has not addressed this lack and yet wants to ban the solution? Crazy.

The Strategy has always being simple since the 1980s.. deepen the people's desperation and sorrow so they are incapable of united thought, incapable of doing something about it, it is a plug on the flow of revolutionary thought

If our govt.try do this they are placing the poor masses into a deep hot water, why am saying this is that hundrend to thousands of our people do derive their daily livelihood through this okada riding of a thing. I urge them to reconsider it very well before passing it into law.
Re: The Proposed Ban On Okada: How Feasible Is It? by CrazyMan(m): 2:07pm On Oct 28, 2014
The banning of motorcycles nation wide should be applicable to highways only. The bike men should be allowed to ply in villages and streets. The government should understand that there are some villages and streets in Nigeria that accessibility would be impossible should they maintain their stand.

I would have thought the opposite. Steeping people in desperation and sorrow seems to be the perfect recipe for revolution. Remember the "let them have cake then"? That lead to the French revolution. Government is kind of saying if they can't have cheap public transport let them buy made in Nigeria vehicles then.

It is your f*cking business, because when they lose their source of livelihood and eventually turn to armed robbery, they'd be coming to rob you, rap*e your mother, rap*e your sisters, rap*e your wife, kill you and then cart away all your life-long achievement. So, you see, it's your f*cking business. In fact, it's a business coming to f*ck you in the azz

Re: The Proposed Ban On Okada: How Feasible Is It? by Aida13: 2:33pm On Oct 28, 2014
Before they can ban 'bikes' or okada then they'd better first fix all the motor roads in all cities. Bikemen are lifesavers in some areas where the roads are un-passable except you have a 4wd or truck.

On the bike men's side, I wonder where the government wants them to find their livelihood. Some of these okada drivers were graduates who lost their white collar jobs and had to turn to transportation for honest work as okada riders. I can't imagine what would happen to their families if they were to lose their jobs. Nigerian government and their ways of doing things upside down.

On point. Private use is not a problem. But commercial use is wrong.

Motorcycles were made to ease movement of one or two people and not be the backbone of public transport.



Chop knuckle.

If they don't want this country to turn upside down filled with more arm robbery, kidnap, corruption and all sort of evil they should drop d ban on OKADA. Because graduates don't have JObs moreover uneducated ones. How can u BAN d most simple job a man can do 2 feed and pay his bills when you can creat Alternate job. SOMEONE SHOULD SLAP D FG. *#ban Okada and nobody will VOtE".
