Onitsha is not only known for Agbero, it is also known for armed robbery, fake drugs, and products....that is why their leader is full of fake promises to them....Obi and fake lies are 5&6

You all is nobody's username. Tag the person who told you anything with your full chest if you're not saying nonsense. Not dropping nameless whatnots like market women gossiping on a slow day. But I digress.

Onitsha Agbero no get joy. The go after passengers and drivers

When I see people complaining about Lagos Agbero, I just wonder if they've been to Onisha. Those guys will harass passengers. You'd pay for buying goods and they will collect from the drivers as well.

Are these guys not capable of being reformed?

Are they unreformable? Can't their minds be reprogrammed, retrained?

You are right bro, but the answer is NO, most of them will not stay for proper reform until they are getting old but now they are still young it will be a bit difficult except if we are ready to go Military way

I was speaking to someone about this issue of Agberos, and I told the person...Governance is like whac-a-mole. If you solve one problem, another rises. That is why I was praying GRV does not win because he would have turned Lagos into chaos...even those in Lekki would not be able to stay clear of major issues.

If you eliminate Agberos, what will you do with thousands of guys? Retrain then...some of them are drug addicts and drunkards...there is a reason they are doing agberos and I doubt they can do any formal education. What about artisan work? Have you seen some of these guys..you think they will learn plumbing or agriculture and wait for harvest and yields or for someone to call them for work before they can eat?

Lock them up in Jail...how many prisons will you build, how many staff, cost of feeding them and getting all of them through the court systems would be a major disaster.

So should we just accept this norm...NO

1. You normalize them like Lagos agreed to do...Lagos should print the tickets

2. Allow these guys to sell them - maybe 500 tickets @ N1000 = N50,000; Private vehicles can pay N100 per day...that is N2k - N3k per month and it will be used to pay for people to maintain roads, clean gutters, and so on.

3. Pay them daily - like N5000 (N100,000 weekdays) which is 10% of the total take in and their Ogas will take N2500 (5%) per person

4. Create a hierarchy of leadership - One oga will have like 10 guys under in covering major areas...so Oga will cash in N500,000 monthly

5. This process for this Team will generate N42,500 per person (85%) which is N8.5million monthly (Salary N1.5m from Revenue intake of N10m monthly) for one area...Lagos can easily have 500 of these areas raking in N5billion and N60 billion annually. Anambra, Onitsha can do the same and the money will be channels to fix roads, drainages and revamp the markets.

6. Give or take the Govt can play with the figures and bring in 70-75% and increase the payment for Oga or boys or Ticket sale

7. You can also sell Morning, Afternoon, and Evening and use different sets of boys so you generate 3 times the revenue, multiply the employment by 3 and use 2 sets of Ogas or Same...

8. They will have distinct wears that they pick up at the Oga in the morning, afternoon or evening and they can switch them so it will be difficult for copycats to make them or have companies that will supply them these wears with random colors weekly.

9. These will eliminate the fake agberos and also provide employment chain for the uniform or vest suppliers...they will also take care of the dry cleaning needs.

10. Youths need employment..money must flow...you need to cater to different types of people. Eliminating them is not the answer.

Your a thinking person.

They are just that borderline between us dealing with real criminals. they a small evolution away from criminals themselves so its better we Integrate them. no one want to deal with the alternative

Been saying this for awhile now.

Guess what, if the state governments in the North had done something similar to this for their teeming population of jobless youths, maybe banditry would have been prevented. Who knows maybe even boko haram would have been prevented.

There are socially neglected people everywhere due to policy and implementation failures, however, the government must find a way to engage them meaningfully or else…

This is one of the ugly menace the Charles Soludo government has bequeathed upon Anambra State. Motor park touts, thugs, hooligans, agberoes now behaving as gods to make life a living hell for ndi

Selling motor parks levy collection to touts @ a heavy cost? What else do one expects? Anambra. Infact make Soludo government come end fast. He needs to go.
Stop lying on Soludo, please. I was in Owerri in 2019 and I witnessed premium Agberoism at Onitsha market.

If I hear, trust me it's worse, they even use road block, professional wheeled cart to block road, carry anything to the east, the money you will spend to settle boys is usually different.

In Lagos, once you carry mopol, you are good to go, over there, even with mopol, you will pay, or they will set your truck on fire.

Anytime I am taking truck there, we will have to wait till 10pm or sometimes 12am so many will be off the road.

Those days, agbero revenue collectors will go as far demanding payment for having a radio in your car.
Seems they are back and stronger, they have to be cut to seize asap.

A few years ago I saw first hand how those upper iweka along owerri road boys behave. I felt so sorry for the keke drivers who were being man-handled by some very young but fierce boys. The commuters (mostly females) were visibly scared and scurried to board the kekes while clinging to their goods and purses with concern. It was a sorry sight tbh.

That changed my perception a bit about the area boys in Lagos who are gentlemen by Onitsha standards.
