Okada Are Not Part of Lagos Master-plan

TonyeBarcanista:

As much as you feel pain due to the implementation of this Okada restriction (which is a law anyway), you have to see the bigger picture; it is for the benefit of the state.

We need leaders that will do what is right for the state irrespective of whether the right thing will bring us temporal inconveniences

BTW the idea of Okada ban was mooted in 2007, temporarily implemented in 2011, and became a law in 2012... Between August 2012 and January 2020 is 9 years+.

ProWalker:


We will keep telling them this truth, no matter how uncomfortable it sounds in their ears

lexy2014:


Pls, what is d bigger picture? How is what d govt done d right thing? If u say that there are "temporal inconveniences", what are they & was there a plan to cushion d effect of those "temporal inconveniences"?

ProWalker:


Whatever.

We are already overpopulated. Anything that would make some of you uncomfortable so that you all can relocate to your villages where okada is the primary means of transportation is welcome

We need sanity here.

lexy2014:


What is d truth?

UyaiIncomparabl:


You'll lead the way, and we'll follow you. Onye ara!

ProWalker:


Show me your tax card. I will show you the alternatives.

The hard truth is majority of those against this ban don’t pay tax to lagos state.

lexy2014:


What has taxes got to do with d question I asked u and d situation? Except u are LIRS, am sure u no that my tax card or tax remittances doesn't concern u neither does yours concern me. Back to d issue:

That okada is an illegal means of transport in Lagos.

There is a law banning it, it was that buffoon call Ambode that relaxed it. We shouldn’t be discussing okada as a transport means in lagos in 2020.

PapaBaby:
Akwa-Ibom is no longer paying or Sanwo Olu pays in dollars?

lexy2014:


Apart from abuja, has govt of Lagos provided d type of transportation system d govts of d cities u mentioned provided for their people? Whose responsibility is it to provide a robust, efficient, adequate & convenient transportation system? Has d govt of Lagos provided any such in Lagos? What is ur basis of comparing Lagos to d cities u mentioned?

lexy2014:


What is d law banning okada? What means of transportation should we be discussing in 2020? Should we be discussing danfo and small doctor?

TonyeBarcanista:

My brother, the resources available to the state government is not enough to provide palliative that would save residents the entire resultant effect BUT the little they have done should be commended. See it is not easy for developmental change to happen but when it happens the society benefits.

Come to Abuja and see how decent it is! Elrufai did it! But while he was at it, a lot of people and businesses were affected

Go and read the op again to know the law banning okada.

It’s turn my turn, they will eventually touch the danfos too.

We must rid Lagos of all undesirable elements

Tonye Barcanista, Ori e ti daaaaru, iwo ashiere jatijati alainironu yi!

A law that was enacted, but every single governor since the enactment has failed to fully enforce, ban and unbanned

If you had half a brain Tonye Barcanista, you wont post the drivel you wrote up here. More stringent regulatory framework can be imposed to satisfy any legitimate security concerns but an outright ban on new businesses like the ride hailing firms is unfair and unreasonable. Unless there are other unspoken ulterior motives behind this action. Balance is needed.

What happened to regulation and a solid enforcement? Why are we always quick to ban things without a working or tested alternatives in place to manage things better and rid the average citizen of any hardship or cause small businesses pain?

All of you defending this ban because of political affiliation or pure senselessness are fu...cking mad!

Silva79:
Insightful I support the ban anyway. I'm a badagrian my route is lagos badagry expressway and this riders are the reason why we have traffic jam on that road. Moreover there are speed boats going to apapa from badagry if you don't want to use the road use the waterways

TonyeBarcanista:

Who is the every single Governor? Last time I checked only Ambode refused to implement it for political reasons and you and I know how Lagos was under him.

This grumbling will not help you and others like you

2 things you can do.

1.Approach the courts to overturn the government ban.

2.There are other 35 states in Nigeria, you can relocate to any other one that won’t get you to work every day late, exhausted, sweaty, and that is affecting your productivity

Any other thing is noise until 2023 that you can use your voter’s card again
