Touts(agberos) And The Upsurge In Crime In Nigeria. by Adadio: 12:56pm On Jul 23, 2016 |
I keep wondering why motor park touts are allowed to operate in Nigeria.Could it be because most transport companies are owned by individuals and not government.In my first visit to the USA some years ago I took a train from New York(Amtrak) to Boston.On my return Journey I boarded a Grey Hound bus or something.At no time during the trips did I come across a single tout.Why are things different here.Why should government abdicate its responsibity of providing means of movement for its teeming population? Thugs from motor garages are also empowered by many State Governors,hence their boldness.I read about one notorious one in Ondo State called Ade Basket,who is said to be on the payroll of the state governor.There was also one notorious one in Ibadan named Tokyo or Takyo. How do we eliminate the scourge of thugs ,Agbero or ochor Passenger(ochongaloko) from our country? 1 Like |

No one desires to be a tout or "Agbero." but there seems to be an impossibility of a better offer so folks resort to these things. As long as the rate of unemployment is on the high, those people will still be around for a long time. It's sad that we have the deal with these verminous systems. 2 Likes |
