Hopefully they create alternatives for these people to live on after taking their source of income.
Else residents will sleep with one eyes closed.
You can only imagine the level of insecurity that will arise out of joblessness.

They should give people the option of exchanging their bikes for cash instead of just stealing it from them.

fear fear people because of next year election.

When the ban is announced and you are caught, your bike will be seized and crushed. Just like it has been happening in the six local government areas already.
Okada as a form of commercial transport should be banned by every state government, its disadvantages are more than the advantages.

Sleekfingers:


By the time, the government start going around all the local governments, with tax force every day arresting and crushing their bikes . nobody go tell dem before dem relocate or find something else to do.

adioolayi:


How are we commuting before now

Like I said...inner streets in Lagos Island and at Ikeja, people have adjusted.

aribisala0:
They can buy horses or camels. Rubbish!!

esthel:
See unemployment see crime. Security matters are to be taken seriously but I believe there should be a better way of regulating these people

Necessity is said to be the mother of invention

About time, we need to be proactive and security conscious

We must not allow what is happening in the North East to get to Lagos

Neighbouring states should also take proactive measures especially Ogun State where incidence of kidnapping has been on the increase.

Lagos no be Katsina or Maiduguri

luluman:
Use sense now, how is igbo business connected to okada?

BennyDGreat:


And then government creates another set of security problems as crime skyrockets and we all have to run inside our homes at 7pm so we don't get attacked.

If government wants a total ban on Okada, they would need to create viable alternatives to the riders. My area alone would have like 2k + riders.
If all those people are thrown out of jobs, na to run comot for area be that....that's too much security risk

Yemlizzy:
Doesn’t make sense, what will those people be doing?? Be kidnapping and robbing right??

Not everyone is using it for commercial purposes.

Those who own it for private use will be made to suffer... abi?

Ogaga87:


Foolish pikin.. Go to Oyingbo and see many of them dealing on okada spare parts.. Who will buy them fast as when okada operates in Lagos state.. Abi somebody go travel from ogun state go Lagos because of Tyre..

Your myopic brain needs to be expanded..

luluman:
Your type just can't steer clear off ibos matter.

Sleekfingers:



You are right about the security risk. But something gotta give. Those bikers are menace in lagos.
The government is working on mini bus as an alternative. But not all the riders will be eligible to get it. You must be a residence of lagos, with a verifiable address, lasra etc.

BennyDGreat:


Mini bus no fit enter some places. Even keke napep can't enter. We can't in a bid to prevent certain issues from arising cause more problems for the society. It's not a wholesome solution at all

Ogaga87:



You be ode.. I'm only worried.. I sell spare parts give you before..

luluman:
Just stay off ibos matter.gbam!!

Sleekfingers:
...

What do you think is the solution?

BennyDGreat:


Nigerian Government has failed the people.
I can tell you places in Alimosho LGA for example where if you don't take a bike, you will be unable to access those places cos keke won't go there and your vehicle would most likely break down there.

Are people gonna be trekking home in those places? If young people can trek it, how about the old ones?

maasoap:


When Okada wasn't mode of transportation in Nigeria, people were still getting to their destinations.
I live very close to a traditional bone setter clinic, you just need to see the negative economic impacts this thing is63causing.

BennyDGreat:


I understand the impact it's causing. Cars, keke, koropes also have accidents.

You can't compare back then when there was no Okada. One is population wasn't at this level, so you could get bus easier, people that time dey trek no be small and you know not many people can trek that long. Children going to school, pregnant women, old folks, sick people....you can't leave them stranded
