These keke people were a total and complete Nuisance. They constituted a whole lot of mess in Lagos.

Does Okada ride in Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, Berlin or New York?

Even, is Okada in Onitsha? Why would Okada be allowed in Ikeja the seat of government?

For those saying crime rate will increase, thats unless Lagos state government is clueless and stuppid. Sanwo Olu is smart though as far as I know and a very hardworking governor. You can deny this if you want... But the heavy volume of work going on Lagos roads speaks for itself.

Obiano the drunkard banned Okada in Anambra. Did heavens fall? Rochas even went to the extent of banning keke in the entire state. Did crime rate increase? Was okada not banned in Nnewi even with the rate of billionaire Okada importers from that axis? Did anybody die?

What most of you don't know is that Nigeriens, Chadians, Sudanese, Malians and Somalians took over South West without anybody knowing! It was gradual, crude and definite.... But they were almost succeeding before I believe Sanwo Olu stepped in. At a time, I was asking myself if there is no regulatory body managing these people in Lagos anymore.

They virtually took over Lagos with there stuppid, crazy and mannerless style of driving. They felt like Lords of the city and if you try to caution them, they will bow there heads in foolishness to thank you. But in there hearts, they were calling you Mumu after scratching your car.

What is Keke doing in Victoria Island? Who even brought this useless contraption to Nigeria? India that manufactures these nonsense made moves to regulate them.

Google Indian roads and see how organized keke driving is. But in Lagos, its madness! They will keep on creating multiple lanes that cause traffic, scratching peoples car with no mercy, hitting pedestrians with reckless abandon while using there Okada and useless keke to rob at night!

I ask again, is Lagos no longer a city? Why is there no Okada in Tokyo, Japan, Beijing, Berlin, Stuttgart, Dubai, Osaka, Chicago or New York?

Sanwo Olu if you are reading this, its not much about making these laws. Its about enacting and enforcing these laws! Enforce the ban and see sanity return to Lagos!

India did not banned them but made a concerted effort to regulate them.
Bad road is the major causes of accident in Nigeria, followed by reckless driving.
The policy ought to have been done gradually over time and in phases.
While you're gradually banning them, you create alternatives like buses, ferries and metro lines that the govt will employ them into. And these will also serve as alternative means of transportation for the masses.
This is a hastily thought out order that didn't take the pain the people will go through into consideration.
And governance is about alleviating the suffering of the people not adding. What Nigerian politicians are good at is always adding to our pain with their hastily thought out policies

TheMan3:
you guys make a mistake of putting beauty of environment as priority as against humanity. What happens to the families of the millions that has just been rendered jobless by this small move? Do you know how many children that will drop out of school because of this?

Let's have love of humanity in our hearts first before anything. Nobody will love to do okada or Keke work everyday if they have jobs.

If we are to compare Lagos with Tokyo and newyork, does Lagos have well organised subway system? Are there functional high speed trains? What about monorails abd tamps? Are there jobs? What about social security, access to credit and business support system?

Bottom line, before the government brings a policy that will in one swoop render over a million people jobless, they should ensure the society is working.

These people are trying against all odds to put food of their table, and the same government that destroyed the society is still the same one opposing them. This Is sad.

Dont out beaty of the state before humanity.

I read the guy's comment and I was laughing... All of the point he is making to defend the move doesn't even apply here in Nigeria.

So how do you go from ikeja to say Allen? Or Opebi?

Uber??

Okada must go..with hell with all the "O-riders"

TONYE001:


The question is, did government create alternative jobs for the multitudes that are now jobless?

Create job for who? Who are the Okada riders ?

Do you even know almost all on them have handwork?
Let’s not import unnecessary emotions into this matter

LASG can never create jobs alternative job for Okada riders that comes from all manners of unknown location.

Lagos state already have the blue buses plans on ground. I just hope they begin with the plan on time.

Who Would Believe That Ikeja Under Bridge Can Ever Be Decent Like These Pictures?

I was at Ikeja today and have never seen Ikeja organized like this! On a hot afternoon! If you know these place, its hell from morning till night courtesy of keke and Okada drivers!

Thanks to Sanwo Olu... You are the real MPV!

God bless you sir.

Let the world see and know that Lagos is working again

U de pray for Governor? Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. Do u know the suffering the poor will go through. How will they carry their wares/load? No alternative means of transportation and u are happy n praying for the governor. I would have said shame on u. But as an OP for this post let me just keep quayat

Larryfest:
Lagos will be a bit traffic free and decent.. Those bikes are nuisance to the road but they should have left keke at least push them to the garage for easy mobility.

Keke should go oh . They drive like bad people.. they smoke and drink too much

You took the world out of my mouth, "until you are victims of Okada rider you won't understand the nuisance they cause"

You are correct about Keke drivers in India, very orderly, they were uniforms, maintain their lane at designated routes

samtol4:
do you alternative jobs for the okada drivers ? Pray idle minds don't engage in crime for survival

While the dude was ranting nonsense about intl cities. He mentioned the drivers are not local. Not nigerian. Are we supoosed to provide them jobs? Must they work in lagos?
Crime will go down as many will leave to neighboring states..

Bro, please could you help me get something doing in tincan. I need a job.

omonla10:
nice move by d Lagos government. but they should have waited till they finish some road rehabilitations.. I work at tincan and can tell u its impossible to get to tincan without bikes.. don't think the ban can be effective between mile2 and apapa

This's exact problem we having in Nigeria. We trying to please everyone. Take the steps and see if they won't survive it.

How do you want the government to help the situation if you want the government to keel pleasing everyone.

why wont sanwo olu create job opportunity first before the ban...
instead of him to ban those trailers that have turned the bridge to their garage snd reduce traffic for people going to the island, Wetin maruwa and okada do am

If Sanwo Olu can clear NURTW a.k.a Agbero same way, then he has my heart.


If he can't, he remains a coward

The activities of the registered bandits is causing Lagos more harm than Okada's but like we all know, They have the government backing to loot and intimidate the populace.

Crime will definitely increase in lagos

Nonsense. In as much as I support this, because I wonder why a state like Lagos will still allow Okada on its roads in this 21st century. Dont make it sound like yorubas do not do okada/keke business as well.

Drop your comment without being tribalistic. Moreover what has the government put in place to reduce traffic jam in Lagos?

Well na una sabi awon Lagosians!

HacheNoire:

I agree with you

those affected should find a legal alternative means
let make Lagos great again..

Cause you're pushing a Rickety thatched house on wheels.

For me they should grant special licenses to Max.ng, Gokada, and Opay...and set a minimum threshold of say, no more 5 accident cases per.week, beyond which their licenses will be suspended and they are made to pay heavy fines.

They should completely ban Keke. They do one chance too much with that.

They should register uniform-bearing local okadas to ply in inner street ways and alleyways, while they contrive creative ways to permanently nip them in the bud.

Stopping people from moving from point A to B is very unreasonable. It extremely reduces the number of productive hours they have.

And let's not forget that there are only about 3 million cars in a city of over 20 million people. Less than 1% of these 3 million car owners have 500,000 naira and above in their bank accounts. So from another angle, this is a bad political decision that may eventually lead to revolt and breakdown in public order.

Please, Sanwo Olu, don't make Lagos unnecessarily sit on a time bomb. These folks are definitely going to break into car windows in the coming nights and steal from the cars as traffic jam mounts.

My advice to car owners, watch out on where you go, and most importantly go home early or use public transport, and please stop hitch-hiking.
