I thought almost everyone is complaining in Lagos. Why are they so few protesting?

jimyjames:
Are these the few lagosians affected by the ban ? Was expecting like 5 million protesters


Am not impressed

How does my Bishop come into your comment? Kindly leave him out of your trek-omolitan protests!!!

LAZY YOUTHS

Hmm I pray they lift the ban...been trekking �

How many people did you mobilise to meet your expectation of 5 million protesters

Sunnycliff:
I thought they would be many in the protest. Very few people. Abeg let the ban continue. We will have sense willy nilly

I passed their gathering point at silverbird Galleria this morning and was surprised by the low numbers and the absence of any low income people amongst them. In fact it seemed to be mere photo opportunity for the benefit of any bored photo journalists.

This your bill board na wa!

AlhajiImam:
A waste of time and resources

What makes you think that?

frowland:


You dey go far, UAE is an excellent example as well. But let them allow Opay and regulate until the road networks improve. It worked in Owerri because Udenwa, Rochas opened up New Owerri and created so many link roads that crippled anything holdup in that city.

I agreed with you, but looking at it from a business angle don't you thing the government would be giving a entity or two all the profit and forcing people into a system?

I don't think all of them want to be part of opay or gokada.

They wouldn't be termed "Suffering and Smiling" if they came out in such numbers to protest...

The Occupy Lagos protest was held this morning at the finish line of the Lagos Marathon at the Eko Atlantic City. Here are pictures of the protest.

Dem think say na occupy Nigeria during goodluck Buhari go just other police to fire,una never see anything ,the same people wey no want igbo people to vote for okota isolo and amuwon odofin

NIGERIANS una too like complain..

Lagosians stop complaining against change that will benefit you

Raysleek:
Why are people so daft will the ferries come to my street .
Okada was not banned on streets but on some major highways and bridges.

It is completely banned in like 6 local governments so please kindly learn to pass your message and communicate in a civil, responsible and mannered way next time

nickxtra:

.

Your Bishop needs to walk his talk about Jesus son of Mary, love for common man. I believe Jesus would have protested along side the commoners not keep silent like your Daddy aka Bishop.

Jesse25:
Why must it be this few? Where are the rest this is why our government we never take us serious if it those developed countries the street would have been filled up by now... This our I don't care attitude is what is killing this country

Are you complaining because you were there with many people who you mobilised

obotblitz:
Nice one.
Let the government know that popular sovereignty belongs to the people. Why should they make policies that are against the people that voted them in?

Sovereignity belongs to the people but the people cannot micro managed the government. The people gave the government a four year mandate which they can rescind at the next election. In between they can peacefully protest but they cannot run the government from the sidelines. The policies you claim are against the people are also favoured and supported by others.

The dwellers of Lagos will appreciate this courageous decision by the state government later, it's for their own good even security wise.

Let's not use sentiment to invite trouble back to Lagos! Meanwhile, buy bicycles

I passed by there. The military police and police were unarmed.

U r wrong. In most places it was totally banned

OdefaGirl:
In a sane country, this is allowed to happen. Peacefully and responsibly, then actions can be taken to help the masses you govern.
Those write-ups on their placards are actually the true reflection of their feelings and experiences for this okada ban.

True!!!...

There has always been a subtle and sublime move to push the poor out of Lagos into other neighboring states... From Ikoyi, Lekki, to the mainlands towards the outskirts.

Soon Ajegunle, Mushin, etc, will be given the full treatment and overhaul...

The drive to attain a mega city or state status is on... Sadly, it will come at a huge cost!!!

Our government are heartless

The protest is good.
Mass actions allow people to express their displeasure over certain government policies.But how mass is this action,this protest?
I'm in support of the ban because Lagos had been reduced to a filthy glory.Every Taiwo, Emeka and Gafaru now finds Lagos as a place where they can express even their most antediluvian consumer vacuity.Eko gba gba kugba!
But the government holds the ace here.There's a legislation that impels the government to act.I only want the government to provide,not just palliatives,but a comprehensive transport policy that will deliver mass transportation for the about 2 million commuters that ply Lagos roads everyday.An integrated railway system,cutting across Lagos' high ways, an integrated taxiing system for the feeder roads and a effective and safe waterways transport module. If all these are put in place ,okadas and kekes and those hideous and unsafe yellow buses will end up at junk yards.

Let everyone go back in peace... When it's the next general election?

Na wa, virtually no one came out. The thing no pain lagosians be that.

Our leaders desire modern cities where only them can live.

For most revolution to succeed, You don't always need majority but ACTIVE minority. Good. day.

dawnomike:
I think at this point we all just have to move on in peace... No one seems tp be listening to the mases so for me, I have decided long time ago to do anything legit to leave the camp of the masses

May your days be long

Govt should always provide solutions first before it passes and implements these kinds of policy.
