Anambra Govt Bans Use Of Motorcycles After 7pm by Lajet: 7:22pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
The Anambra State Government has banned the operations of commercial motorcycles popularly known as Okada, after 7pm across the State. The government said it is part of efforts to curb resurging crime in the state, warning that flouting the order would attract severe sanctions. Tony Nnachetta, commissioner for Information and Communications Strategy, in a press release made available to journalists in Awka on Sunday, stressed that in recent times, there have been a resurgence of armed robbery and other sundry crimes in the State. It added that, “Security reports confirmed that these hoodlums operate with motorcycles. As part of the security measures towards checkmating the activities of these hoodlums, government hereby announces a ban on the use of commercial motorcycles popularly known as ‘Okada’ after 7pm across the State. “Henceforth, Okada riders are only allowed to operate within the hours of 6am to 7pm,” he added. According to Nnacheta, the ban is an indication of government’s determination to maintain law and order, as well as protect life and property of law-abiding citizens. He warned criminals and evil-minded persons to desist from their evil acts or face the full weight of the law. He enjoined the public to be security conscious and to offer information to security agencies at any given time. http://dailypost.ng/2018/03/04/anambra-govt-bans-use-motorcycles-7pm/ |

Government making senseless decisions which impacts their people negatively all the time. Many of those Okada riders are owed months of salaries and their families rely on them to survive One governor is busy building statues and looking for his family members to succeed him While this one is here banning Okada riders. Put better regulations in place to check crimes. 9 Likes 1 Share |

So for areas that have bad roads, would having to walk now make them safer? Those that profit from putting in extra late hours to make ends meet would now pay for the vices of other less honest countrymen. Can they be blamed for increasing their daytime fares as so? As long as those thieving fellows have no better place to channel their productive energy, they'ld always see crime as an option. The government still needs to empower them; and those whose livelihood may be affected by this decision. 6 Likes |

It's for security reasons giving the incessant cases that have been reported of recent in several areas at night. but some wailers will start talking about marginalisation and 2019. A decision taken for our good is headache for those not even living in the state. God help us all 3 Likes |

Better dan outright banning okada like okorocha did to okada and keke without providing ADEQUATE alternative. Atleast dis is a well intentioned move even though it may not b d best solution. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Okada ban as transportation means in busy urban centers is one policy that governors must address. There is need to ban Okada from at least the major cities of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi. Anambra is the ONLY SE and SS state where Okada is still dangerously used for public transportation in busy urban centers! WHY has it taken so long to move progressively os this issue? A lot of orthopedic cases have mounted as as result of allowing Okada use for transportation in major urban centers. Now, the security angle of Okada use is being tackled with kid gloves. |

Lajet: That's the black man's eternal problem. Focusing on the symptoms rather than the main disease. I remember how the government through the very useless Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) made a lot of noise and inconvenienced us with their useless SIM registration many years ago. The stated purpose was to curb kidnapping and other crimes. Interestingly, the rate of kidnapping and other crimes has increased exponentially after SIM registration than it was before then. So what's the point of the whole nonsense? In the same way, banning Okadas because criminals use bikes to operate just shows how incompetent we are as a people. How about the countless kidnappings and robberies that use cars as modes of transport? I desperately hope I'll be alive to witness a time when those in government begin to think up and implement sensible, long term solutions to societal problems, rather than the low hanging fruit, knee-jerk approach that is the norm now. We need brilliant outliers in leadership positions. If you're a daft idiot with some connections or with stolen money and that's why you're in one crucial government position - moving around with a siren-blaring convoy with loads of policemen, then you're not special. In fact you deserve to be killed because you're cheating the rest of society. We need special people in these positions. Not 'connected' or 'lucky', pot bellied bastards forming 'chief' this or 'Owelle' that all over the place with their empty brains that can't devise intelligent solutions to societal problems. 12 Likes |

Myopic, and a testament to the lack of ideas on finding lasting solution to the myriad of security challenges facing the state. He should decree to fix energy (light) in his state; that alone will take care of a chunck of the security issues rearing its head in Anambra daily nay Nigeria. 3 Likes |
