Bans of Okada in Lagos.

I watched with amazement how three Okada riders ran away hurriedly from the hands of mobile policemen  from Lagos State Task Force that laid siege for them.

There had been clamp down on motorbikes operators in a bid to enforce traffic laws. Most of the impounded bikes are destroyed by the authority.

The attendant effect of this sanitation exercise may spell doom.Some of these operators who have been earning legitimate income may now be force to go the way of crime.


Should Lagos State government continue , many youths will add to already swell unemployed list.

One of the reasons why government is taking this initiatives is to reduce accident on our roads, also to bring to the barest minimum level of insecurity.

Government should not just ban Okada and go to sleep, they should also ensure everyone that this policy or law would affect negatively be catered for.

Job creations is sacrosanct, when people are engaged, crime rate will automatically dropped.

What is federal government doing about fixing power situations in our country.Some of these Okada riders are skilled in one trade or another, but because of erratic power supply they could not practice their trade.

So, government should wake up to his responsibility.
