This Ban has greatly affected the movement of Lagosians and they are grumbling and have allegedly resorted to using horses to play the roads..lol
What is your view on the Okada/Keke Ban?
I think the Ban has to do with too many Robberies with Okada....If it will stop,then YES!!!
Horse to replace Okada?If i hear!....That is animal abuse please!!!
Stella you have no idea what it means to live in Nigeria of today! Learn to keep your opinion you yours self sometimes.
ReplyDeleteStella forgive this one, sun e haff fry his brain from trekking. Eko oni baje
DeleteI heard d traffic in Lagos today is something else
DeleteThe trekking is real all my muscles ache,when I finally got to a bus stop no bus. Bus drivers are hiking fares. I think they should have thought of a replacement before taking this drastic decision. The soles of our shoes will suffer.
DeleteAmbrose warmed u guys that ur governor is an ex mad man check general hospital gbagada records u said no ! Abeg let them trek in peace since they don’t want to v sence
DeleteThe trekking is good for your health. Get shoes for walking not with heels.
DeleteI think the okada ban is a good idea but I really don't understand why tricycles were banned.
DeleteThose bikes are doing more harm than good but Lagos state should reconsider the ban on tricycles.
Then again Nigerians should learn to walk, a 5 mins to 15 mins walk is good excercise for the body.
Buy bicycles
DeleteReally!!!!! Walk under that hot sun in Nigeria? Use Bicycle on that Nigeria road that is so bsd even vehicles find it hard to ply it,or is it the reckless drivers on the roads that will just be killing bikers.Nigerian leaders are dumb heads,do they want these people to go hungry when you have taken away their livelihood without creating a job for them as alternative.
DeleteThe trekking today eeh was on another level Stella. All the Lagos slayqueens go soon get muscle for leg.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that! this govt dnt care about us. Is more politically motivated Dan we see it. They obviously want to sweep out the northerners from the south west. Becos the rate at this aboki use trailer to offload bikes and keke into Lagos is alarming. Population is growing. Reason for the Amotekun movement.
But at the same time we working in Lagos are suffering. U cnt just wake up this new year and ban okada and bikes without alternatives. With Lagos population how many people won reach work early. Stella it has bad and good effect. Obviously many people will lost their jobs in their office becos employers cant keep up with late coming. They would rather hire who stay close. I swear people are suffering. The few buses price went up ×3 of previous price. VAT have started and both browsing data and all as been increased. Sincerely is not cool.
Are we going to be trekking like this???? ORIDE and others that were issued licence to operate wat happen to the riders. Investors?? They lost their jobs already. Is crime rate going to increase?? Though the aboki guys have started using trailers to move their keke and bikes out of Lagos already.
They shud move. the bike is too much. let it be regulated.
DeletePeople don't let changee, Chai!!
DeleteThey should create alternative for themselves like car share to work, get a walking shoe(this is a perfect way to exercise), deodorant, change of clothings and etc..
"Like change "
Delete16:43 Lmao. I live and work in Lagos ooo. But omo you have no chill at all..
DeleteCome buy deodorant share give us oooo 😂😂. Take your time there.
Rubbish policy! See the unnecessary stress one went through today.How can you ban Keke & Marwa when you don't have alternative solutions on ground. I got to the office by 11:30 thanks to Sanwo Olu's stupid policy. He should better bring a solution or get ready for a more chaos Lagos.
ReplyDeleteRegulate!
ReplyDeleteclueless goevernor....I don't feel sorry for Stoopid lagosians
ReplyDeleteYou're the stupid one. Go back to your village and fly your bike there.
DeleteLmao Don you have killed me ooo. Tell am ooo, anon go back and fly your bike there. How can you call beautiful Lagosians stupid?
DeleteHave some respect for your elders pls.
No more flying okada to beat traffic..
ReplyDeleteYes we all fly okada in Lagos!!..
Useless nonsense policy!..
Fuck who ever implemented this..
Fucking idiots!!..
Stella the ban is not the issue, let them clear the containers on the road first, imagine a person whose office is at apapa, buses cannot access the road because container has take jare than half of the road, only bikes can access it.
ReplyDeleteContainer has taken more than half of the road*
DeleteLet the federal government decentralize the ports. Lagos will be free a bit.
DeleteWhy calling lagosians stoopid. The election we had, our votes did not count. You know how they do it. Let's continue having wicked leaders
ReplyDeleteStella it was not a well thought out policy at all!! Look Lagos has changed a whole lot if it is in the area of robbery, it is a very lazy way to put it as Lagos state should have been registering Okada riders and make it structured...Stella Gov Sanwolu publicly said that there were plans to regularize the Okadas and structure them like Opay, Gokada and Max..A lot of people have invested in these hailing companies and have been given a license so what is the reason for the license..This is a lazy approach as our government has always been..You didn't put any measures in place to cushion the effects..Most of the road are bad and death traps, your only option is to use bike or keke. Sanwolu should have gone round Lagos, carry out a survey..The places that he banned keke and bikes, he should have implement the new buses for test run, make any adjustments if it turns out successful and then ban okada and kekes...This is not how to go about the GREATER LAGOS he is preaching..Please dont enter any private cars.its better you trek then use Aboniki massage your legs at home than hearing WAZOBIA!!
ReplyDeleteThey would have banned okada first and get all things in place before keke. But we have stupid governor that did not think of this.
ReplyDeleteBode Thomas is too free. Before you look left, right, left again to be sure if you cross the road.
It is affecting leggeddez Benz people
The policy is just being wicked and selfish. Can everyone afford Uber and Taxify? Regulate it if you must but an outright ban is just being wicked make we no lie. See the stress and pain getting to the office na? Smh.
ReplyDeleteUna go dey alright las las
ReplyDeletethose people were an absolute nuisance
Enugu banned okadas, Abj did it and the people are still fine
poor, illiterate Northerners were migrating to Lagos in trailer loads and those people are bad news
I am very happy although I don't stay in naija
make una buy bicycle or walk, walking is good exercise
too many pot bellied young men and women, burn those excess calories
ikwokwokwokwokwo
Yes ooooo, they should walk pot belly and big thighs people too much . Walking is go for the heart and also prevent depression.
DeleteGet umbrella if the sun is too much.
I don't even mind the okada but why keke too?
DeleteHonestly, good riddance to the bikes.
DeleteBut we have keke in enugu. So what are you saying? Bikes I understand, what about keke.
DeleteStella u got the gist of Lasma guy that committed sucide wrongly
ReplyDeleteHe was Sacked, he used his savings to purchase Keke, on hearing d Ban ,it affected him alot.
He wasn't deployed he was Sacked
I don't know the kind of advisers Sanwoolu have around him. With this ban the suffer no be here oo. Na trekking people dey now. The buses hiked prices, route of 200 now 300. Na all our January salary we go take enter bus for February?? Sanwoolu do something before people begin collapse for road oo from trekking.
ReplyDeleteIt's a welcome idea if you ask me. The whole of my area is so peaceful now, you can walk peaceful on the sidewalk without being harassed by Okada riders who leave the road to share the side walk with the pedestrians.
ReplyDeleteOne can cross the road peacefully.
I have been looking forward to a day like this in a very long time.
Okada is not a development.
Yes ooooooo👌👌
DeleteYes I agree Don. Change is the only constant thing. I enjoy the peace on the road now. Those pple are a menace.
DeleteSanwo olu is just clueless.
ReplyDeleteThe great trek has began
Trekking is good for the mind soul and body!I love it!!this will make people get into fitness....lol
DeleteBetter city planning? More bypasses? What are the solutions?
ReplyDeleteBanning bikes perfect idea, but keke? that's the height of wickedness and cluelessness. This Govt doesn't just care for the masses, this country is a mess mennnn.
ReplyDeleteAm telling you!
DeleteThey should have provided alternative transport system before the ban because majority of lagosians don't have cars and can't afford cabs.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the peace driving in Lagos. Okada and Keke won't allow someone have peace on the road. They also cause majority of the accidents on highways.
Fantastic idea. The okada at ikotun will reduce. 👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteits really stressful for us as a family, bike and lake is really helpful in my area, it's a 20- 30 minutes walk from my house to the bustop or market, with bike it takes 5 mins...on Saturday I had to trek to the market with and trek back home with heavy load on my head and a baby on my back, 'twas stressful..if you stay around ebutemetta you'll understand better, the streets are very long
ReplyDeleteThat and also high rate of okada accident is the reason for ban.
ReplyDeleteLagos is a fast growing city where Okada riders storm in from other parts of the country. They believe they can make more money within a short time.
But alternative should have been provided before the ban.
If proper training, registration and check is carried out regularly on okada riders, then there won't be a need for the ban.
What is in the best interest of the public? sanity on our roads. Okada was becoming a nuisance on the main roads. sebi Abuja did same nd they r still alive. Besides too much aboki nd foreigners will now leave lagos 4 us in peace. is it not okada they use for crime. All those making noise shld go buy bikes and get fit. oyinbo man rides bike to work
ReplyDeletePlease write this in capital letters for everyone to read.
DeleteOne of the best comment..
Anon 17:00!.point of correction "bicycle "..lol
DeleteThey will be alright soon!
People don't like change, air pollution and over population will reduce etc.
Anon I completely agree with you. We will be alright last last
Deletebus fair has increased, imagine on Saturday the price of oyingbo to orile increased from 50 naira to 500 naira and u say its a good move, the rate at which crime will increase run, some streets in lagos can only be plied with bike during rainy season cos of bad roads, people park their cars somewhere else, imagine trekking in the rain for 30 mins when you could gave entered keke and u get to your destination under 5 mins, some people use keke to take their kids to school in the morning, some pretty traders use keke to carry their goods from market to their house or shop, u expect them to take a cab , how much is the gain..imagine sitting in traffic for hours and u get to the bustop where u can take a bike and get home under 5 mins, u start trekking for another 30 to 40 mins...its not a good move at all for me
ReplyDeleteYou're a liar, there can be not increments from 50 to five hundred naira anywhere in Lagos.
DeletePrison doors are widely open for those that want to commit crimes.
DeleteWhoever that's not feeling good can move to another state. After all we have states in Nigeria.
@Don, you have no reason whatsoever to call me a liar...I entered bus from oyingbo to orile on Saturday ent 500 naira(any busstop was 500 naira) and I stated it here , do you stay around oyingbo or did you enter bus from oyingbo to orile. if no, then KEEP SHUT
DeleteDon I don't know you but if I ever get to see you in person I will beat you up.
DeleteOh God, it’s terrible, they banned keke and bike at the same time and it’s totally unfair. I do customer deliveries myself at the moment and I trekked on Saturday and today, it wasn’t funny. I felt so low ehn at a point I wanted to beg private cars to pick me but I remember one chance and ritualist people exist I just continued trekking! It’s well oh
ReplyDelete@ CFV!!..low ke!..you will be alright soon and seen the benefit on your health.
DeleteThe kind of sleep you will sleep tonight, it will be like a baby.
Very soon, people will develop short cut when walking.
It is "very well "ooooo
Lol, @ sleep. Got back home after the long trek, the kind sleep I slept, I never enjoy sleep like that in a long time... For me regulation should be key. Ban okada completely, any form of okada. Tricycle should be regulated for easy movement. I should be doing another trekking tomorrow, make I fit sleep like person way take pills.hahahaha.
DeleteAnon 18:09 chia! Leg dey pain me
DeleteHonestly 😭
Why will you be doing deliveries? No wonder you people do not grow in business. One man doing everything.
DeleteI don't even know how to explain my experience today. The government should have made provision before the ban. If you see the rate up to 4 or 5 Alaye people they attack one bus for money ehh at every point. Today is still Monday, lets just be wakaing in peace for now.
ReplyDeleteAbeg! they should have a rethink.
ReplyDeleteOkada yes, but keke capital NO!
To think I trekked miles on Saturday with the stuffs I bought from Oyibo market on my head and hands because I can't get a single Okada man to take me home.
yes! I ate the #150 for bike fee but am still taking painkiller until today. Reason nam now, abeg who gain? and who loss? #freekekenapepemrgovernor#.
Community route that has bad road like Aguda- Oke Ira should be excluded.
Alternative Dey buy bicycles
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahaha. Be nice please
DeleteThis is a war against poor people, but the aar should be against poverty.
ReplyDeleteThis ruling says that Lagos is only for people with cars basically and that's wrong, every city needs all classes of people to thrive.
Even with your car traffic go wan wound you.
DeleteThe only reason I support this keke and bike bam is that these keke land bike men are crazy drivers. They scratch cars mercilessly. You will be driving peacefully, by the time you get home it’s new new scratches you’d be seeing on your car. It’s annoying. And the scariest part is they even operate on the express these days. A bike drove recklessly into the express one day I was driving. Bashed me badly. Imagine the money I had to spend to repair my car. I cried that day.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand tho, I think this is just a way to reduce northerners in Lagos. They are becoming too much and they don’t even know how to drive the keke and bike.
I only hope they bring back keke cause people actually need that to commute to short distance.
