It is only in a country like Nigeria that people think riding bicycles is a mark of poverty.

You people really need to travel outside the shores of Africa. Smh.

I suspect they want to target revenue from Bicycle registration and insurance, including road worthiness

I know a bicycle repairer back then in Nsukka. The man was doing well. After his demise, his son took over the shop at Lejja park in Nsukka. The guy is still there till date and is doing well for himself.

There are many ways of government easing the pain of subsidy removal aka palliatives. The government doesn't necessarily have to spend money to do this. The federal government can cut import duties by 50% for the next one year only. They can also cut excise duties for local manufacturing firms at the same rate and for the same duration. The states and local governments on their own part can stop collecting ticket revenues and daily levies from keke and bus operators in exchange for keeping transport prices at pre-removal rates for the next six months. Traders in their various markets can get similar reliefs.

But no matter the strategy that government adopts, petrol subsidy must never be reinstated no matter the pressure by enemies of Nigeria led by the NLC that are remote controlled by the defeated labour party.

You get oil for head. This is apt. But they will never listen

My issue here is the kind of journalists we have.
How can simple arithmetic of 185 to 500 be a more than 300% jump!
@topic,it's an idea but that means many people will arrive at their offices and places of business smelling of sweat

I remember my first time of travelling to northern Nigeria (ABU Zaria), I saw signposts that reads something like "Slow down, ABU is a cycling community". These students and staff of ABU do not smell of sweat in class and office.

Until I relocated to Azare(Bauchi state), I truly confirmed that northerners love bicycle. These boys dey carry bicycle dey do fast and furious.

Bicycleisactually a good thing. But don't forget that those places it is used, there are pedestalfor bicycles and Bicycle parks where you can lock your bikes to secure it. And most of all, law abiding and careful drivers.

Even the subsidy shouldn't have been paid in cash at all, governments needs to reduce how they play with cash everywhere jere

Hmmm..... so this is the full photo with the guy riding.... with body guards running along. Bus lanes aren't functioning... will bike lanes flourish? Man riding to work can get heart attack. With times so hard... who be even fat that will be riding to reduce? When finally reaching to work all sweaty and smelly.... wouldn't that be same as polluting the work environment? .... and where will bikes be kept?

Don't tell me it was sarcasm if you're not the one who made the comment i responded to.
Are you the poster's spokesman? Why are you rushing to use your mouth to chew pepper for another person?

it is only valid if the main person I quoted, replies and tells me it is sarcasm. Learn the ethics of conversation so you canrespond with intelligence.
