Agreed for the first time ever with Itsay Sagay. The Okadas kick people from their behind, pull ladies wigs off their heads, gang up to destroy peoples vehicles, slap and beat up car owners along with people inside the cars. They do not care about street lights or sign posts. Infact it is as if once a sane person starts Okada he loses his sanity. Even their passengers sometimes behave madly like them.

The truth is that with their ban some peace and sanity would be restored in parts of Lagos.

The worst riders come from Kano, Borno, Sokoto, Niger, Kebbi and Adamawa. They always carry daggers around and are very daring, yet they do not even ride smoothly. Other bad riders are the Yorubas. The Yorubas will always swear "ori iya e", as if the mothers of people have issues with them. If this policy can stand the test of time, then it would be great.

Okadas were restricted to only certain parts in Abuja by El Rufai. Long after he left as FCT minister, the law is in full force there still.

Next must be danfo drivers and tanker owners. If Ambode was allowed to return, by now Lagos would have been more beautiful. I hope Sanwo Olu can do more to make Lagos a better place.

davodyguy:

No much difference between them

U have data on ur riders and trips. They only need to be regulated cos they have joined the bad habits or the informal ones in disobeying traffic rules. That’s their major fault.

helinues:
Which kind of people do we have as leaders in Nigeria self?

They always put cart before the horse. Something they should have well planned before initiating the ban.

DWJOBScom:
I agree but gokada and other structured ones can be allowed

No they shouldn't as it would be unfair to other riders

Anyone who says the government did the right thing and should not reverse it... Then goes to say the government is wrong for not providing adequate alternative. Words of such a person can't be taken seriously.

Also if you are going to say the government must have plans but have reasons for disclosing it, in a democratic state? On issues that relate to public affairs? On issues that are causing people to loss jobs?

The problem is we want to imitate the west so bad that we dont look at our self and look at what we need. We go from zero to 100 over night.

Ah I don't know how people thinking again o

Agreed. Some also join them because they are free from police arrest

caprini1:
Most of those Gokada clowns dont know zilt ,about bikes, most of their riders are just in it for the salary.

Please how can this ban extend to Bayelsa and Potharcourt.4 people died on Keke accident in Bayelsa yesterday.

If they they start robbing you and your relatives in Lagos, you will start begging the governor to reverse the ban.
Some of you mentioned Anambra State but you forgot that Obiano started working on Okada alternatives a year before the ban.

GoTV born again can expansiate further on what Prof said

Exactly, don't even try it, if you're not happy with the ban, u can move to other states and for those of you condemning sanwolu, u guys praised ur state govt(Imo, Anambra, kano, Jos etc) when they banned okada, how is sanwolu case diff?

it was ban with an alternative but in this case none

seunmsg:


Big buses cannot be used to convey people from inner streets to main roads. The need small buses or cars to render that services if bikes and tricycles won’t be allowed to operate.

I just don't understand how our own democracy works in Nigeria. No one in decision asked THIS question before action was taken.

Were any standards given to Keke or Bike operators that they failed to comply with? leading to the ban.

If it was an issue of public concern where are the petitions to goverment that it acted upon....

There is no going back on that policy. The truth is that majority of those okada riders and tricyclists constitute a major security threats. They are not ordinary okada riders; they are members of a well known terrorist organization.

The same policy will be enacted in all major cities of the south west. It is not just about Lagos alone and the point is to tell the evil people behind the invasion of Oodua land that we are quite aware of all their devilish plots.

Whoever that is not comfortable with this policy can relocate to their state or Syria. Every inch of Yoruba land will be well protected.

God bless you for this,okada was banned in Abuja the aboki didn’t protest instead they went away with their bikes,Kano is peaceful while Lagos is over congested

I wish our amiable Gov Sanwolu can order those trucks and tankers from Apapa road so that the gridlocks will disappear over night. Banning okada and keke from Lagos roads is a noble idea but the most noble things affecting people on daily basis are left undone.

The first step in turning Lagos to London is by banning Okada. What happens to building world hospitals, stadiums, etc. Don't you think if they provide modern train service like London has, okada will fade out without complain? Nigeria is cursed country.

You want Lagos to be a mega city just like London, Paris, Jo'burg but you don't want to pay the price.

Every tom dick and harry can't be running from their respective states and constitute nuisance in Lagos State.

What is Okada and Keke doing in a major city like Lagos state?

KingAzari:


The larger population constitute of okada and keke riders coming from all the states that have banned them. Okada situation in Lagos was and is still a disaster waiting to happen. Most of them do not even understand English and are always ready to unleash mayhem with dangerous weapons out of nowhere at the slightest encounter. One stabbed my colleague and left him permanently blind in his left eye till today. No address, no identification.

okay sir

Wow

elite mentality, is it because you have cars? so yiu want people to trek and bow down to worship you.

let them impoverish the masses then, i guess its good for the environment.

The same thing this keke is doing in, Liverpool, England. You inconsiderate preek
So banning Keke and Okada is what will turn Lagos into a mega city over night.

What happen to constructing roads, bridges and other infrastructures?

so you mean no Yoruba man does okada and keke business?

Good Advice, Genuine Observation.

Government should work with private transporters to provide alternatives.

That's right

I don't support the ban, it should have been regulated and ensure that only qualified drivers with valid license should be exempted.

It shall not be well with anyone who supports this ban.....your generation will suffer the trekking like Israelites.........do you know this constitutes 85% mode of transportation in this state. The biggest employer of labor......just wake up and throw millions of people into misery

Black man hates progress
This is the best thing to happen to Lagos state because when you put “On the scale” the fact that it gives jobs to millions in this state and single handedly taken millions outside of poverty........for one man to come say he wants to ban it is only serving the interest of the devil who has succceded in reinventing poverty

If you support this ban
Poverty shall beffall your life and your next life.
Make the people wey pass the law come down from their car and trek instead of Okada

So all the tankers blocking the road and the awful traffic is helping us become a mega city

For inner streets people should develop transport walking, if they have load, they can higher Uber or the regular taxis. Government should make roads pedestrian friendly

So bad

I reserve my comment

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Is okay sha
