Did the government find job for them? NO!!! Thieves and arm robber going to flood the streets.

Are they not going back to their odd behavior?

A governor that cannot send trails off the road. So we should applaud him nah. Well before the election they promise all sorts of things and all kinds of things. After election, they change the base of their promise. Have any governor stayed in traffic for 5hours daily?

olaniyihassan01

The last time I checked, Motorcycles and Tricycles were not banned outrightly, they were only banned in certain CDAs and LCDAs. However, I think the use of motorcycle has been abused in this country.

Provide alternative solutions please

U should be creating job opportunities but u are disengaging those that has job already from there work

Too bad for Lagos state government,sanwolu administrations are full of selfish people, okada helps a lot in this state,where roads are bad okada will go, traffic,people that want to meet up wit their target, appointments etc. God bless ambode.. Godpunishpeoplebehindthisbanokada

And they want foreign direct investment in an unstable economy with changes in policies. No sensible investor will do that.

Imagine collecting a loan of $15m to start OPAY and after a year, you’re banned from operating. No security on any investment in this country.

The number of thieves and kidnappers have automatically increase

Knee-jerk reaction. Rather than fire those responsible for the ineffective management of Lagos state traffic leading to corruption and abuse by virtually all motorized and pedestrian users, an elitist ban on okadas and kekes imposed. Will have negative economic impact.

Is apapa included? Bcos lasg don’t know what they are doing.

I guess it is on major roads

Y’all get ready. Nigeria about to have the highest rate of crime in the world. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Nigerian government always have their own special ways of killing businesses... This is bad for the likes of Gokada, maxgo, Opay etc after paying huge sums as tax and registration.

Tifeoluwa_Awe lobatan

Unemployment and armed robbery

Really hmmm massive robbery unleash

Multiplying poverty.

Does this apply to dispatch riders ? Those that need to do delivery for online businesses

If there are alternative routes , additional bridge, smoother roads am sure it won't be so much of a concern, commuters will be not stuck in traffic while okada riders will switch to other means of transport for business.

Hnmmmm!

Wtf is wrong with this country.

Our government should at least consider people who's feeding are earn from this. 😨😨

...or maybe this one first move of the Amotekun movement. We all know who the majority of bike riders are. Remember, Yorubas very rarely fight bloody wars.

Its long overdue. Let the Okadas and Kekes work on the Streets.

This is a deal gone bad for Opay and Gokada but may end up being their blessing as they will likely turn out to be the only ones permitted.

The reason Okadas move around Lagos is the bad roads, if you fix up the roads, maybe okada won’t be a lucrative business and they will disappear.

People go get sack letter for office o

AmobGod

Mayb there 2 be replaced by helicopters...who knows🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I don't think the ban on Okada is the answer but It is very necessary for govt to check the recent increase in tricycles and Okada in Lagos and any other part of Nigeria.

Hope u r set for d severe consequences and overstretching of d security forces wen ts negative sides start manifesting

This might make life hard for a lot of Lagosians, but I think it’s a step in the right direction if Lagos is to become a Global and World standard city.

While it is not on the same scale, 5-10 years ago the UK govt told us to buy Diesel engine cars. From April last year they have started charging £11 extra on top of Congestion charge for all pre 2016 diesel cars. The area covered by this charge will also increase by 2021.

Nigeria, a country where one Policy are get a person RICH or BROKE real quick.🤦🏾‍♂️

Armed robbery will soon follow

🙄😲

Amen 🙌🙌

MISPLACED PRIORITIES

Won ya weyrey

Who can read the hand writing on the wall? Just after Amotekun.

It's a big problem and not a promotion, barning of okada business in Lagos w/o proper consultation is a big problem.

Stupidity

Nice but bad

What a misleading headline by Punch. The is no ban but restriction. It was restricted in some Local Government Areas, bridges, and highways due to rate of crime and accidents recorded in the state. I read folks saying unemployment, like most crimes and pickpocket don't use bikes

I hope Lagos State gov have a better job for them after doing this.

Wrong decision

It is a good things banning, it's another things providing an alternative. Government have to think twice before implementing any policy. This action will end up destroying many people means of living!

Beautiful the okada thing nearly killed my brother and even killed the opay rider😢

Guess they only want to promote their brt, that is not enough for us

Beautiful nonsense 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Person wey pass this bill b like dey him get personal beef with olokada as in who doesn’t rely on bike with all this traffic?

But this is how some people put food on the table for themselves and their families. How can you solve a problem by creating more problems ?!

In Nigeria, the Government don’t really think about the welfare of the people. Now that there is ban; *What is the alternate source of transportation? *which jobs has the government given to those involved in order to be able cater for their families? *Would this improve lives?

Seriously, this why I think PDP with all its failings weren't economically inept at all comparison to the so called best brains in APC. They should have killed the idea from inception not now when so much FDI and local investment have been thrown in.

So my daddy should go and park his tricycle or what so how will families sustain, the Nigerian Government has failed to do what they are supposed to do, no jobs anywhere so after this now how do people who use this to feed there family and send there children to school

so how would that number of hustlers be absorbed into the system? Insensitivity 101

Thats bad na

more traffic jam on the roads

jidesanwoolu this makes you the worst governor Lagos ever produce. You better revert this

Useless leaders. I don’t just know what to say. Agreed they want to stop bikes on Lagos roads. What about gokada and OPay that spent millions of naira to put this together and even employ people. What exactly is our problem in this country ?

This won’t be funny at all. 😩😩

Thank you

Please if there's anyone that wants to sell his tricycle aka Keke. Someone i know wants to buy.

Please does anyone know if this affects delivery bikes too?

Its end for u ppl in lagos

I think this ban is not about APC, jidesanwoolu, or investors. Seriously, Okada and Keke operators have turned Lagos into a city of nuisance and they should be checked. Many are illegal immigrants, have no verifiable addresses, under-aged, lawless, and not qualified to ride...

From where to where

What alternative did he provide for them? Now many the youths who loose a means of livelihood will join Ametokun, get arms and turn to night robbers..

It is well

Good one

Won't this cause a spike in the crime rate?

Since when because I'm still seeing them Ooh by the way,do u have jobs to provide them with because that's their means of livelihood. It would be stupid to do that without a job for u people in government have sense at all?

Nice one

The rate at which crime rate will increase ehh!

What's the alternative means of livelihood for these guys by the government of Lagos state. If none, then the state should expect increase in crime rate

The ban is good. The alternative is is is.... I'm still looking for it. Therefore the ban is bad.

Like play, like play🤦🏽‍♀️

The untold suffering awaiting the populace is needless

Lagos State government should think twice before effecting the ban. A lot of people rely on this okada business to survive.

People with no ideas can govern and assume leadership role. Time for a revolution in Nigeria. RevolutionNow

Funny government. Instead of moving forward we’re still back Very far back

They had better rethink or else, well packaged problem awaits the people

The first visible 'project' of Sanwo Olu. Unfortunately, on the negative side.

Keep this energy and take off all the cars from the road too. Cos we need to calculate the number of accidents caused by cars.. Stupid pretenders ! If you want to save lives you know what to do..

Na crime go increase.that will be the end-result.. senseless people

We had the option in 2019. No complaints please. Just live with it. My heart goes out to Opay and Gokada. I think they should file a complaint or something. It is totally unfair to them and to the world of innovation.

Seriously I fucking hate this rule. They ain't going to give them umployment and if there is ever vacancy they pass the job offer to their known ones. Helpless ones will always strive for it. And now they find way to self employed themselves , What else do they want sef? 😡

shezAgoD

They ll unban they during next gubernatorial election 😂 unserious state

It's not a bad ban because of life safety,but Govt need to repair the bad roads and see how to reduce traffic first.

But why will they ban them.All this people don't have another means of surviving than this, graduate , undergraduate are doing this job just to survive. Now they have ban it, unemployment everywhere then the rate of robbery, just started in this Nigeria. Just stay tuned everyone.

Street begging should be included

Another confirmations that governments in Nigeria, are comprised of bunch of stupid people, that don't critically look at the impacts of policies they make. We know about the accidents, robberies with bikes, but have they considered any alternative to the riders, or fixed roads?

Mile 2 down to badagry We are safe

They're gonna ban it, then roll out a regulated permitting process with a hard cap on the number of permits after the largest operators make some hefty political donations. The largest operator(s) will then have a monopoly/oligopoly. The same thing happened in SF w/ scooters.

Is that the problem of Lagos state, misplaced priority

Mad ooooooooooooooo

Daddyistwenty Is like they want armed robber to b plenty in der state cos most of dem don't wantu steal that is y dey ride bikes nd others...it is beta dey sud b considerate

ppl dont even read the article...

this is a serious issue to take such drastic move without any alternative means and what the government think about those men they put out of job which they use to care for their families and pay bill. The government should have a rethink in case of robbery and other crimes

Does this even make any sense? Possible to ban tricycles(keke) in Lagos? Does this Lagos governor know how helpful these Opay and Gokada has been?

things will be ok for a while. another govt will allow dem later. traffic go dabaru

Great news. Let’s hope jidesanwoolu will have the courage to follow this process through. Too many useless youths in Lagos. They should return home to farming.

After two months then they come up with their own bike riders and tell us they are not like the okada men we used to know RUBBISH rubbi Soundcity985FM Wazobia_FM TVCconnect NTANewsNow

Ogbenutan

BsMaikano

Kai😂😂😂😂

How on earth am I supposed to get to Oniru from gbagada on time without the bikes.... This better not be true

After 2 months then they come up with there own bike riders and tell us they are not like the okafa riders we used to know RUBBISH Soundcity985FM NTANewsNow TVCconnect

Criminals in power.

Chai

But why

Let them move to other states in Nigeria 🥺

I dont understand is it commercial okadas that are banned or both private and commercial

The war you can end is the 'war of the youth'

Haaaaa ontop the harsh rate of unemployment.....

I wonder where those we don't know who will relocate now to start tormenting people around them

Do you know how many worker OPay_NG employ to reduce unemployment in lagos alone... No job, no money tendwr policies that affects the masses jidesanwoolu think well

VCs, this the part were Bobby Axelrod would say 'liquidate our position I want everything out' in his weird accent like a hissing snake. And hopefully, JasonNjoku would consider buying some of it. Govt policies sucks I probably should not be concentrating on Africa anymore.

This is the next level you are taking us to in Lagos... The beginning of robbery and proverty! Later that old man will say 'lazy Nigerian youth'

Now, the rate of rape, theft, armed robbery, kidnapping will be high, they are taking away their means of eating without giving them any job.

And they are supposed to do what now? Y'all are mad!

Y'all living in a different Lagos. I still entered bike today Lol

You go ban gokada and opay Dem no born una well

How many times will Lagos be banning okada up and down. Den go still ban again next year

This so unfair, you'll render people jobless; then when there's increase in robbery, you'll complain. What's the alternative route sef?

I predicted this about a year ago. I just saw this coming

This is just a confirmation that the government is not for the people

The government is not thinking of the outcome of unemployed youths from banning okada and tricycles on the street of lagos' our Government just systematically welcome more (hoodlums) touts and thieves in lagos... No future for the youths.

Effective February 1, 2020 some people will be rendered jobless, some families will find feeding difficult and some investors' money goes down the drain. Also people without cars will be made to trek long distances on routes that buses don't pass through.

What other reliable one have they provided for the masses ? Why do they like inflicting hardship on people

Then he should employ more police build more cells and prisons because crime rate will for sure increase

This country is a mess 😭

Alot of us will miss our flight

Lagos state government should ensure that all roads are properly fixed before rain begin so that masses won't feel the effects.

This is not a way forward please you guys should reconsider....

Expect crime rate to increase in the next few days

I don’t know what Lagos but I just came to work via opay and na bike o 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and the man said he’s a designated driver not okada I had to tip him 😂😂🤣

Better, since conquerors, invaders, bandits and kidnappers have found it a modern transport means.

This is outrageous... You don't jes stop a man from making a living without providing an alternate means for him... This is really crazy🤨🤨🤨

This is Lagos, the ban is just by mouth and an action of at most 2weeks.....

Any alternatives?

This government 🤝 Making life harder

so wetin we go dey use transport ourselves as well no get car?

Welcome to high rate of crime, Lagos! You don't put people out of work when you've not made a provision for another.

So as to impoverished the masses more and increase rate of crime.... Follow me and I will follow back guys please!

It’s high time a riot happens in Alausa that government house ...

I think their reason for the new development is sold enough, the government on the other end should finish what they have started by making sure our roads are MOTORABLE, .

I think we don't need to be jumping into conclusions like this, let's get the full story read and I think the state government can't just ban them without providing an alternative...

So how do this people expect the common man to to live and support himself and his family? 🤦🏽🤦🏽 y'all be ready for more crime reports o

Ni kini

Yeah... Everyone including me, is in the comfort of his or her home, typing 'chai, bad government, they don't care about us '.. Why would they? When after doing what they do, all they get are blasts from tweeter users. Let's take to the streets, tell them enough is enough.

Hope d state government will provide jobs for d okada men.

This must be a joke, so they are telling me that over a 100k people will be jobless....Just like that.....They didn't even provide alternatives for them before making such decision. THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS MAD!!.....I don't want to believe the crap!😑 NoLove InHumane

Wait, you ban what? Lol

Pls read the news before commenting, this ban doesn't affect the whole Lagos State, is just some Local government and some bridges. The affected areas bike rider can shift to the unaffected areas and continue their hustle. God bless our hustle.

Not a blanket ban in the State, just certain LGAs. Just like in Kano, Jalingo and Abuja

I've actually been expecting this ban for a while. The riders started riding like typical Okada riders, got so many bikes on the road, every road was like a market place. Certain alternatives should have been put in place though.

I tot it was just few roads. I have a lot to tell my Yoruba folks about this Okada and Maruwa ban, it may also affects some of us, but I tell u that this government is seeing what I've been talking about. Lagos is being infiltrated, please open ur eyes. Thank u jidesanwoolu

chizo_alaribe This is serious nonsense OK what do u expect those jobless people to do now? May God forgive u people oo Nigeria don spoil

Government doesn't do policies using emotions. They usually choose the option of good or lesser evil.

Breeding poverty as always

You people are MAD!!!!!

Okadah is very risky on our highways, moreso, hoodlums took vantage of it for quick traffic robbery

This is not good how can d govt ban okadas wat do dey ave for those people nothing der re some part in lagos dat bus cannot reach dat is okada dat will go der we've been shouting unemployment in this country imagine this nonsense happening in dis country.......dis country is suck

Same government that can't protect its people what happens when the crime rates increases?.

Tunibu probably wants to start up his own bike business 😒

Specific date of Ban

My own problem here is “ have you constructed roads where buses can pass? Trailers are still packed everywhere, it’s impossible to get to your destination without bike on the mainland.... this is just not cool at all I’m going to Togo 😢

Opay that has been saving us from your deadly Eko traffic! No be only “Bans”

When u have failed as a government and we are still trying hard in this abject poverty stricken country to make ends meet yet all u could offer is this inhumane law..Why? What alternative have they provided for the masses they're about to take what u don't/can't give (Jobs) from?

Crime rate in Lagos is about to increase to 200% in the next few days....

People will suffer They should go back to the table

What does the special adviser to our amiable governor does? When you barn this, what next?

Mr Governor.... What exactly is the colour of your problem?😟

I can see more than thousands bike here but can d state gov provide employment opportunity to the owners of these bikes

Pointing gov pointing out ways to scare investors.

This thing will cause big problem and even loss of revenue. But these guys are not too smart to see it just yet.. we’ll wait for them

Oluomo is working, Lagos is moving🙄

I think everyone ks suffering now. APC as a party has made life miserable for majority when it comes to transportation for over 20 years

Only in Nigeria such things happens... Why

I suggest the govt stop banning all this stuff. They should provide a good alternative, this will force the people to change direction without any use of force.

I recall the genesis of Okada Ban in parts of Lasgidi & FCT, there was Keke Marwa as sideChic. I joined to condemned it, but later realized they were truly a nuisance to our safety, unemployment & transportation system. Every' later adjusted nicely. LASG did well here. Kudos

There is a corresponding consequence for every action, in as much government want a more reformed system of transportation, there is a tendency this action will increase the rate of crime in the society in an attempt to earn a living by those who have been thrown out of business.

Simply put Poor people have no business being in Lagos.

Lagos Lagos where art thine brain?

Just one government policy and multi-million naira companies are gone.

Now robberies definitely gon increase🙄

Govt will stop the hustle of the people without creating alternatives and when the people go rogue, they'll invest millions for extension of kirikiri max prison

They still even went ahead to ban tricycle,the livelihood of the ọmọ onílè. Many missionaries & foundations just bought tricycle to empower many of these vulnerable ọmọ onílè, now the investment amount to bad loss. No train,tram,BRT,taxis built to accommodate these ones. Fail

You cant ban Okadas and kekes in Lagos, you are just creating new offences and more distractions for the Police (more bribe). They are a needed service in Lagos with a ready market created by the traffic issues and ineffective unregulated transportation.

followlasg should create alternative means of transportation in Lagos state especially monorail, sky trains, amphibious buses and other means of water transportation.

All govt knows how to do is to kill small businesses people use to survive because there is no political money to steal to incorporate business. But this govt must be prepared for the after effects because most of them are Fulanis/Hausas. Lagos traffic is worsen by 300%

May be they have established enough factories for job seekers

Insecurity keeps waxing stronger with all these moves

How many times?

Nah it's not possible. U can't ban tricycles, less to talk if gokada. Okadas can't even be banned, na settlement ekelebe go dey collect to free dem do their work.

Imagine the man hours about to be wasted in traffic

Not the whole of Lagos though!

Bad decision!

Why opay🤐

can lagos get any worse?

Whixh place cos am still seeing bikes around oluti o😂

Okada every where, not a solution to economy development... We need a better mean of transportation. We always resist change in this country but why? When border was closed, we thought it was end rice, but today we have survived it. So let's wait and see. Cheers!

Traffic bout to be crazy! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

But is there any news about private owners?

Do you realize this is just a strategy to send the Fulani people back home. Very soon computer village will be shifted to another location. I believe south west leaders want to strategically seperate from nigeria. Which personally i think everyone should go back Home

I THINK THIS BANS WILL NOT STAND.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The accident they cause on a regular is beyond comprehension! Regardless, I won't support a total ban; if they can be reduced to the neighborhood and taken away from the highways. Most of these bike Ferrer's are breadwinners of their families and cutting off their source is a NO.

And this people carry their okada and tricycle to campaign for you. Useless

Haven’t they been banning them since 2016 like this ?

Amen...

I do hope they would be able to deal with the aftermath of this.

STOP WASTING YOUR DATA WHEN YOU CAN MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR SMART PHONE! Only 100 students needed JOIN THE Training ON HOW YOU CAN MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR SMART PHONE AS WE WILL BE SHOWING YOU SOME FINANCIAL/SKILLS OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS HIT THE LINK BELOW

What? Thoughtless bannings

Whatever is the reason for this needs to be reviewed cos the like of oride and Gokada had created jobs for thousands of Nigerian youths.Throwing them back into joblessness may be dangerous for all of us. So, let's be wise and make laws for d masses not few selfish individuals.

Its better abeg

But there's no road in Lagos? Fix the road issue first.

I hope the government is seeing the road unworthy buses plying the roads of Lagos? They're more worthy of ban than kek , Okada etc

Hmmmm How do Lagos people Survive this ?

Congratulations Lagos! No more 'Traffic' Lol!... Welcome ' Traffic Jam'

The Lagos State governor is very mad.. He ban them and I know he has plans of bringing his own bikes out soon. Who go bet?..

Please, does this ban affect delivery bikes too? I'm in deperate need to know... I run a Logistics business and all articles I've read didn't make mention of it... I need answers please!!! Anyone

Hurry!

😭😭

govt should observe that without tricycle and okada things might have getting worse for Lagosian particularly people who live far to their working place, what arrangement u provide for them be’cos it going to contribute more crime rate when people lose their daily’s bread.

What does Lagos intend to do with the people they've rendered jobless?

Will this same energy be applied to yellow buses and commercial high capacity buses are they have been a long term menace

Just tell me any government official who has never entered a bike all his life..smh

Y ban?rather,give them work time. Say 'bikes to work between 8am - 6pm. Don't force thousands back to crime.Unless u seizing their bikes n refunding cash value for them to do another trade.

What problem does this solve?..Defs not the traffic and transportation problem, other cities need to develop cause lagos is getting too proud

Whaat?

Crime will be on the rise.

Let us kuku ban everything including vehicles...so we start afresh with donkeys and horses instead.. rubbish 😠😡

Can this actually happen?

Terrorism doubles

But why is common sense not common with our political leaders

Good, is high time. Needs to be banned in the country entirely.

I can't imagine a rider who just got a bike or keke on installment..... and boom!!! This shows up!!!! Even when these bikes are operating.... Traffic is worst and terrible... Imagine now that they want be operating... Una wey vote APC how market Eko onibaje...itesiwaju Eko!

Including Opay and Gokada! This is why things can't work or move forward in out country, they knew they were going to ban Okada yet they allowed private investors invest in the business.

infinitepeter

No calm down.. Be removing people's daily bread..... OPOR

Just some months ago Some hailing Bike platforms where signing Contractual agreements with NURTW and MC Oluomo while paying all the dues owed.. this week they HV been pulled off the Market after spending Millions. Guess What ur 'Menthol'was part of LASG decision making process

So what will the operators be doing afterwards? Worst time to be a Nigerian

😂 😂 😂 😂

Whenever I'm sad, Nigeria never cease to make my day with an official joke.

I don't like the attitudes of these groups of motorists. But I think for sake of job creation, they could be well educated, regulated and put on check to curtail their excesses. Insecurity still looming...

Wow!!!

Crazy country

I have been saying that I want a bicycle for valentine! Now I want it even more

I hope the government has alternative employment options for these people sha

Hmmm...

In addition to the inconvenience theyre causing by suddenly banning a very crucial means of transportation in an already overcrowded city. They're also putting a large number of that population out of work.

😳wait. How now?

So em how will people move Is to start sleeping on the road then, because buses are really slow because of bad road. I can't imagine Lagos without bike, the suffer just doubled

It's a welcome development

Ban with no alternative means of live hood,,, that means you want robbers and bad guys on Lagos street

The alternative may be brutally gruesome- armed robbery, terrorism, insecurity etc. Where will all these bread winners go and what will they do to 'put food on the table'?

Ease of doing business, my foot

Awoñ weere

Welcome to the criminal zone, everything about APC is hopelessness.

How person wan take waka for this lagos now

Really bad move. So many streets in Lagos that buses don't ply.

I'm just hearing this oooo E be like say na village sure pass now lol Lagos hustle

Kfm

But why?

This is a careless action by the state government

I would support the ban of okada on the highways but don't feel opay and gokada should be included in the ban. They re organised and obey safety rules on our roads. Moreso they ve really provided employment for so many youths.

Lol lagosstategov isn’t this funny? Because these people will have nothing to return to but robbery. You haven’t provided an alternative for those in business and the commuters as well. Be rest assured that these people will not only rob the masses but “the big men” majorly

I laugh 😂 whenever I see all these bullshit.. They will tell us they don't want Tricycle and motorcycle in Lagos yet they still issue documents for new bikes and Tricycles collecting money from them. Yahoo governments them.. Thieves

If I remember vividly, this same Lagos State Government collaborated with House on the Rock to support The Jesus Boys with Tricycles during the last Xperience. What a shame!!!

What're job are you creating for all the drivers?

Bukeeberry__ More Traffic congestion... what are they thinking?

This is not a priority 🤦🏾‍♂️

This is not good at all

Am very sure they are joking

Instead government should provide good packing space and many more even more than that they will be spending money Dey will spending money on useless things

All the people, who were shouting 'Next level ' about a year ago...this is it! This LEVEL 1 of 4....You will only get what you voted for not otherwise.

Our policy makers.

You banning them will not make Lagos any cleaner, because this city is one of the dirtiest in Nigeria.

Ibrobaba_ I can guarantee u they will work something out with them....almost 50% of Lagosian take keke and Okada to work...some school children too

This should better be like the Danfo time. Implementation must come with opportunities. In fact, implementation shouldn't even come at all.

why ban without providing alternatives?

Remain kaduna.

This is sad 😔

Buhari: Jobs created; -5.6m

This is just the beginning of an era of Gov Sanwo-Olu. Lagosians never see sumptin 😂😂😂

Mad oo

Policies without any human face... It has become important for all elected officials to a mandatory course on Social Policy and sustainability..

jidesanwoolu intentionally increased the crime and unemployment rate in Lagos state due to his unfavorable policy. My question are 1. What are the provision of government for those that left out unemployed? 2. What will be alternative fast route of transportation for Lagosian?

Recently, I thought within me that the Lagos State Govt has shown they can't effectively run the transportation sector of the state to a standard of a mega city they are taming Lagos. This 'ban thing' which I call a 'sleep-walk decision' just said it all.

Rendering thousands jobless 🤦‍♂️

How do companies like Gokada, Opay and co pay off bank loans or how do they achieve ROI? And yet you want to boost tax revenue. Okay o, well done our THINKING GOVERNOR

Foolish people always making life harder..

Rethink this pls.. Safety measures should be put in place like Helmet and Boots not Ban!! Nigeria wattin dey transpire?! This people have families to care for, and bills to pay!

🤯🤯🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧

D Police Stations in Lagos are now taking advantage of d banning of Okada & Tricycles seizing them at around 9:30pm today around Iju àxis. Dey are telling d Victims dat followlasg has banned Tricycles from plying on any Lagos roads. So disheartening. Mr_JAGs segalink

This is how criminals are bred.

So those keke napep riders under obalende bridge that goes towards passport office and ikoyi are now jobless?. Meanwhile Okada riders ply BRT lanes from Ikorodu to Ojota with ease...

Theres never a bad time to ban okada

How will people now get to work?

how about instead .. building a motorcycle helmet factory and getting those out there inexpensively to all drivers and riders? .. really .. you'd cut the fatality rate by 90% .. the severe injury rate requiring hospitalization by about 80% and employ a few 1000 in the process!

Same damn m.o... there’s a reason they clean a wound before working it ... school doesn’t teach nothing .. the world long left Nigeria

isiomaudokoroh That one nah okoto meow meow skrr

In a bid to stop criminals from using this means as their escape form,you forget that more incriminating cases will arise as a result of joblessness!!!! What a government 🙆🙆🙆

chiefagbabiaka Them forget say we get family, aby them no realize say most of us na graduate nii.. why do they punish people just for their selfish interest and gain na... Shey make we go carry arms nii? Where is the Job? Where do we carry our certificate to if we no get GODFADA NA ..

Loool. Jokers !

Trekking begins

_Kliff__ If GokadaNG getoride et al had agreed to pay a N25m annual licensing fee, will followlasg order this latest ban. Unanswered Questions: 1. Has Lagos solved the trailer, tanker menace on these roads & bridges prompting the use of bikes? 2. What are the alternatives in place?

Otrek then for y’all

Something that their forefather will call off soon.. mtchewwww

Why do followlasg allow importation of okada into Lagos State and still want to ban okoda and the rest? It does not make sense to me

I’m sure the way it’s is that the are ban from the inner city but will still ply selected routes servicing the main inner city. So government should say which routes can still have okada and tricycle.

Now this people will start coming down to the southeast

For what?

This means Edo state has been more advanced and organized city than Lagos. Okada has been ban here for more than eight years now.

Imagine banning even Opay and co. That means dispatch rider will also be affected too. This is definitely put a big hole in the business of thousands of Entrepreneurs in Lagos. Dis is madness. Sanwo u Better olu urself.

Hmm, it won't last, unless arm robbery will become rampant

The government has forgotten that it is this same people that voted for them and they the one to be eliminated from their work .if it is time for election they will stop all this because they want to win election

QUEENESTHERADE1 APC is at it again. Banning without a sustainable alternative. One day the bush meat go chop the hunter .

😳

How much did uber and Bolt pay them?

All sanwo-olu knows is to be pointing upandan. A whole Lagos where people live off by being an okada rider. No alternative, no proper planning. Just doing things like Malu. Clueless set of people

Our govt are too quick to make decisions whose aftermath they are not prepared for. They take decisions that require spontaneous response to the resulting effects but mostly not ready. They take decisions & set up a committee to see how to ameliorate its negative impact. Wrong

So now which work did the government provide to this people they ask them to go and steal people property and criticizism

This is going to throw more people into deeper level of poverty. The government should have a rethink. Abeg!

What do these APC animals want to turn us into? Sanwo-olu whats your alternative? Helicopters & Drones? You gonna end up increasing criminal ratings in Lagos, most graduates and under graduate use this means to pay school fees, rent and survive. What kinda govt is this!!

You can’t imagine what you just did... You just increase unemployment rate... There’ll be increase in corruption ( Touts, Robbery Kidnappings,one chance and scammers) I hope you can handle all these jidesanwoolu followlasg

TRICYCLES!!! 😳

We will introduce Otrek.....trek to your life's destiny...

BBoason Next should be Kano, then NasaStates.

Well done, Lagos... well done!

bimbo_cash Lagos state. The fear of Fulani herdsmen is the beginning of banning okada riders.

bimbo_cash Well, I think the government should let the likes of Gokada, Oride and tricycles to still operates at some places, but u see this other okada riders, hmmm, if u see the rate at which this aboki enter Lagos every day with their okada with them, you will fear for the future of Lag

Joke.....regulate them period. Opay and gokada will sue. Very simple cos the cost of set up and registration they paid LASG is huge

I laugh.. story for the Gods

No! Ahhhh!!!!

Best news of the day. The so called corporate tricycle riders are beginning to violate laws. Few months back one of them nearly turn his father to a cripple. You can cry for them as you want but the truth is they don't worth it.. nd Ambode, who the hell is bearing that name ?

Increasing unemployment rate, I just don’t understand why our government make unreasonable decisions.

Wrong decision, cos dis will increase crime rate in d city, instead, dey would av ban their operations in some certain areas to avoid going to d High ways. Anyway weytin concerns me sef 😲

How do we now deliver our goods? WTF is all these?

Watch what this will do to the crime rate in Lagos

Fashola banner bikes, Ambode brought them back as now Sanwoolu band them again. 🤣🤣🤣 Una just dey start!

oil_shaeikh an shiga uku 👀

Any plan to reintegrate the okada riders back to another economic activity?

CarterHydee Eni te ma pa len wa. Rada rada

I hope someone reads the reason for the ban...”scary figures of accidents recorded”

Buh I still took opay this afternoon nah

Oride, Gokada e.t.c may NEVER consider investing in Nigeria again!Their employees will be thrown back to the labour market. Some Okada & Keke riders will most likely turn to crime. In Nigeria, between ignorance & absurdity, it's hard to choose which one controls larger portion.

The government could be funny at times. Instead of making ways to improve our country but we found it interesting to keep our head on a Stony plain.😥 It's not really accepted.

What alternative has been put in place? jidesanwoolu sir? It’s not just banning but what plans are in place for people whose means of livelihood is ending by this ban?

You see When someone is creating employment to alleviate poverty Government not happ

KampalaTraffic If you open the floodgates for the importation of Boda Bodas Motorcycles destined to your city not knowing how many actually you need and realise that they are the major cause of accidents, traffic Jams, death on roads and everything negative. This descion is the only savoir

bimbo_cash They should please ban the useless and senseless agbero too

The ways lagos state makes decisions ehnnn...

bimbo_cash Countries are upgrading their health system because of the new virus but our leaders are collecting bikes 😂 🤣 Nigeria is a Joke

About time. These keke guys are a nuisance. They have no business plying on urban roads. One dented badly my favourite toy the other. I spent 300k to re-spray the entire body. So painful

Ban on Okada & Tricycle: Cars,Buses no dey get accident, helicopter sef no dey crash *Mumu policy makers*

APC go stil beg una make una vote them for next election and una go still vote dem. mumu people

Oluwa provide a Car ooo🙏

Most times, traffic isn't caused by okada or tricycles, it are caused by bad road, narrow road, too much influx of vehicles etc

Dem don use dem win election, come abandon them.

bimbo_cash Nigeria leaders need award from Grammy for most dumbest 😂 politicians in the world Why will you collect food from thousands of Nigerians... No employment and they provided one for themselves and also ease traffic...

Learn from Babangida Aliyu, this won’t end well.

bimbo_cash This is a big lie Opay and Gokada bikes were not banned

This will bring about more traffic because everyone will Come our with their cars

ahicent

Wow

anahvictoronye

So we should get harry Potter's broom to fly now. Ofly

I hope sanwolu has provided an alternative measures for lagosians in transportation not just to ban them from operating. It's their inefficiency to fix the transportation system in 21yrs that has led to d okada napep menace cos they must survive. When a government is blind,dumb😒

Watch how crime increases

Las las LASG has decided to waste the destinies of lagosians in traffic. By the way, is it Opay or Oride

Not sure outright ban is the answer or solution to their malaise.

So much for ease of doing business

What about Danfo buses....they are definitely one of the biggest menaces in Lagos

The headline should read 'BREAKING: Lagos shoot up unemployment rate.'. Software Engineers, thousand of riders, PMs, and others are about to lost the source of their income.🤦🏾‍♂️

Witches and wizards as said by that pastor...Mtchew kuku kill them instantly instead of taking their daily bread.Rubbish govt

Lagos State can NEVER be serious with this ban! How do they expect those that have been empowered by the services they provide to survive? As a commercial nerve centre, followlasg should support these businesses to thrive!

They should not do this ooo...traffic will kill us inside Lagos ooo

Millions of naira of investor fund goes up in smoke! The message to investors is 'come to Nigeria at your peril!'

If you ban Okada, be ready to accommodate robbers every angles of Lagos state.

I believe we should first experiment with properly marking out lanes on the highway, and provide motorcycles with a dedicated lane. And enforce it the way BRT lanes are enforced.

People will walk to work.

😂 Ban Okada kee....... Even our musicians used Okada for video shoot

Wrong move

TripDarlinq What a shame. So much investment made to ensure that Lagosians have access to safe bike transportation. Doesn't followlasg realise that these companies reduce the economic losses which would have been made due to time wasted in traffic?

Nigeria is hard tbvh

On highways or everywhere?

What people use to survive No job No money Poverty Damn country

This Lagos State government na imbecile ooo... Mumu gidi...

This is the beginning of a new Lagos.

BabajideGuerero

If you are to be at a place for 12noon,better leave home 6am..No Opay and Gokada again 😏

Clueless government

Watch us adapt asap

Does the government understands the amount of unemployment this will result to and what are the plans to absolve them

How do they want them to survive ?

Opay and Gokada too? 😮😲

I think this caption is not professional enough..Premiumtimes you guys can do better.

Lagos no be small thing una day do ooh

This changes everything

So now, no more aboki in Lagos

They will bring in their own...

TheChelseaCRU No die una Dey for the jungle ...

There are better alternatives to the banning of keke and okada, and a better example is fixing the bad roads. Common sense not applied

So what’s the other option going to be How is this solving anything major? It’ll just be more people out of jobs, more tyrants on the streets and more people in traffic😳

Of all the problems in this Lagos. Smh 😔

They should unban oooo😏 I know how many times OPay has saved my ass rushing to the airport 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Wahala....!

What happened to the deal OPay signed with NURTW in Lagos?

Make dem being AWA bike from lasu

I knew this day would come. I believe the investors would have foreseen this risk. We wait for their (Opay, Gokada et al)revolving strategy.

Welcome to Nigeria

Tricycles! Lagosians are about to get fit 🤣🤣

see,i was on my own, in my line jejely waiting to turn from census to bode thomas two days ago,next thing was bang! a keke had rammed into my bumper and run away,i smiled,i prayed fervently, it will cost me money to fix,i haven’t had the time yet, good riddance,they are a menace

Na Ibadan and other south west states go hear am

I don't understand while jidesanwoolu is doing this. I don't just understand him at all.

manlikefach I don’t even have the energy to be upset 🚶🏾‍♀️

Rubbish, Lagod government all of you are mad

Shey you people voted someone that went to yaba left as a governor. See the result nah.

Yikes.

Another avenue for men of PoliceNG to extiot offenders ..........

Okada men in Lagos going back to their states

Am I going to trek from ojota to Allen tomorrow?

followlasg jidesanwoolu drobafemihamzat It's not a criticism as long as you have a plan. Share it and don't keep the people in the dark

This policy would affect me, opay and go kada is a real development.

followlasg jidesanwoolu drobafemihamzat What is the alternative?Why do we always move 1 step forward and several backwards?Once the ban is implemented, have you provided viable jobs for the thousands to become unemployed.The solution to a headache is not to cut off the head.

Very wrong move.

Another security wahala. You watched as people move in mass from the north to Lagos majorly for okada business and now you are stopping the business without alternative. Those bike guys that ply okokomaiko to mile 2 are now jobless just like that. Na was o

They keep banning without providing alternatives. Imagine lagos traffic issues without bike alternatives

In everything there are those that lose and some that don't (although may not or gain little). Sometimes when majority lose, it may be for the greater good. Hunger no dey kill Nigerian, we sabi hustle and this decision may be for the good of Lagos State.

No road and you guys are busy banned okadas 🤦🏿‍♂️💔💔💔.. Nigeria which way 🤐

If their restrictions established during tundefashola era been upheld and continued by AkinwunmiAmbode, we wouldn't be dealing with their influx into the state now

It will affect ONLINE sales

My brother the whole city was trekking today.

Lagos State government has a lot of policy somersaults.

Na today! Nigeria my country lol

I really hope the state government checked the corresponding effect of this law on unemployment and crime rate should this law be fully effected before this law was passed.

Okada and keke banned in Abuja and Lagos, Abeg Wetin the government go do with all this plenty keke and okada.

They have been saying this shit for as long as i can remember. They can't pull it off.

What would they be eating ? Thiefs go plenty o ,they should only ban them on highways.

This is nigeria........

Deshysmalls but i bded okada today nah trade fair

Next level of Lagos State, what are they going to do for a living, is the governor will provide any means for them. All the riders have wife and children and pay school fees ,pay for house rent Nepa bill every month and feed there family. Please sir, kindly find solutions sir.

The kind of policies the highest earning lawmakers make. What a shame.

Tired of this ruthless country we call Nigeria every single idea a Nigerian has brought to eradicate poverty for the Masses the govt just literally shatters it all for their selfish reasons am sure this is just another initiative to empower their BRT purse

😳

Good example of placing the cart before the horse. The altenative measures ARE TO be rolled out. How do both riders and passengers cope pending when these measures are implemented.

The opay. Gokada. And the rest of them They're not public but kinda like a private transport they don't have to be banned There are more advantages than disadvantages

Scam

They probably introduced Otrek 😂

Finally Sanwo-olu have succeeded giving Lagos police food.

How would delievery guys cope Y'all should think about this How would dispatch riders cope These are things We need to consider before jumping into conclusions

Banning It For The Umpteenth Time 😢

This is good for Lagosians. For once, live the full city life. Though we always believe that some means of livelihood have just been shut but like the saying, ' Na something fowl dey chop before corn'. Lagosians deserve a CITY like Johannesburg.

They are heartless people, they came to my area today they packed all their okada is not express road poo , family man was crying like a baby, infact I wept for them, so pathetic, omase oooo nobody to voice for them they were all Wailing and crying,poor man dey suffer.

I seriously object to this Dint think it's a good idea at all How we gon enter into our streets We fun trek or what When we need to be somewhere ASAP We fun be struggling with bus I seriously do not like this at all

This is completely bad, insensitive and wrong, Lagos State Government ban Okada without adequate alternatives, Lagos roads are bad, countless traffic everywhere and everyday and no jobs. Imagine the owners of Oride&Gokada who has millions on Naira invested in such venture.

traffic is about to be even worse 🤯

Safe to say bye-bye Lagos. I ain’t coming back

Let them go and ride the bike in their village.

With increasing unemployment rate, the government decide to cut down on people's source of living. Wonderful

O’trek mood activated,last last we must reason before we vote next time, APC is a “scam”...

Crime rate to be increased.....

Murasi

Isn’t there another way to regulate them?

Government Reasons on this are so baseless, What death rate are they talking about? If it’s by that, why not ban Containers, why not ban tankers? Or all those Dangote trucks The government will not provide you a Job but will take the one you are doing.

So didn't ban Molue or Yours disturbing lives in Lagos, but Okada riders that create time to cater for their family 😪 God when are you destroying Nigeria?

APC should let me sleep with my two eyes closed o I never blow o Abeg...this is a bad news

Everything depend on government in Nigeria, once there is a new government or new policy, your source of income is ruin

This is serious!

jidesanwoolu This ain't it chief. You people should stop making inhumane laws.

😂😂😂😂

How can government ban OPay and Gokada? - They're not reckless & lawless like regular mallams. - They're registered with the government & pay their taxes. - It has provided jobs to myriads of men/youths the government couldn't. - The met capacity requirements This is bad policy.

No alternative, senseless moves by Sanwo-olu... He has not done anything Lagos state. Apc govt is terrible, making life unbearable for Nigerians... School fees, house rent, don't forget many graduates use it to survive.

Thank God bicycle not included

getoride OPay_NG y'all should go to court..

Does this even make sense, people livelihood depend on this job and daily bread, why will a government that promises good living for its people take away the one thing that brings food to them . It doesn't mam sense at all

I hope it won't affect domino pizza delivery bikers too ☺ just asking

Motorcycles I can understand, but banning tricycle? What's the alternative

How genuine is this news

Tbh I don’t understand how this is gonna work out, especially with the traffic. But Mey we dey look

Government pls consider ur people before executing ur policies

The ban is probably to stop the invasion of Lagos by the ' Abokis' from Niger, Chad and environs.

This is 1 of the reasons NIGERIA will continue to wallow in unemployment & poverty. You lobbied & lured investors, you made them pay outrageous taxes, levies, dues & BRIBES. Only for you to ban their businesses when most of them are yet to recover their capital. Nigeria is TRASH

And you’re expecting crime rate to reduce?

Lagos is the busiest state in Nigeria and many businesses runs through this means,how do we survive on 20k/25k salaries in Lagos without these transport means? Have they thought about the masses? What kind of government is this?

Lagos na joke Walahi🤔...our leaders are egocentric, 65% of Lagos working class citizens survive by this means of transportation

That's a good one from the present sanwo olu's regim

Lagos is too crowded to ban motorcycles. You can't ban a necessity nah

thony_yhl Hope this reduce the traffic

To Let 2 bedroom flat at Orogun, close proximity to UI, Bodija, Sango, Mokola, Ibadan. Rent: ₦200K

it's just a matter of months, they will forget about it 🙄

What are the measures taken to replace these Means of transportation they just banned?

Hybrid_Einstein

So what's the alternative means of transportation provided to cushion the effect of this ban? Don't tell me the 49 sitting 99 standing BRT buses that take forever to arrive. Lagosians are in trouble.

Create jobs and Good roads and not take the little way people feed, you nor give us,the little one, una Dey take am from us

This is the means of lively hood of a lot of people. What do the government want them to fall back on. Crime?

If u know u can't trek, better buy bicycle to beat traffic...

To suffer others abi

No start up can survive in this country called Nigeria with bunch of hypocrites who set themselves as been our leaders here in Nigeria. Banks were forced to reduced there charges due to opay 10 charge on every transaction. Hope this won't be the case of other independent 1/2

auristella2 I would have been happy if they found an alternative for these very soon unemployed persons to do. The crime rate in Lagos will increase of an alternative isn’t found.

Incompetence everywhere, they should channel their energy towards something reasonable.

🤡

Ahhh including Opay & gokada ke 😢😭

Wawu

This is just going to increase crime in Lagos...

This is absolutely INSANE!!!

To hv a smart city the ban is well overdue. They are just too much and constitute nuisanse on the rd always

Ko le werk!

The Poverty just Increased. They don't have any interest of the Poor

Let's just have a National Purge in this country and end all this shit. let it trend letspurgenigeria

Just 2-3 millenial & century days ago, baba kekere was as someone said producing essays in “highfalutin” language to fence-sit himself regarding Anmotekun & asking the SW govs to discuss with him as “democrats”. Garbage in garbage out.

Wash.....

did they think this thru?

What provisions have been put in place to take care of the people that are solely dependent on this mode of transportation ?

Not bad to ban Okada, but keke? Haba who does that. Why not ban the regular aboki okada leave the structured ones. This is an impulse action.

Change!!! - APC

Without creating alternatives, then you are indirectly asking for an increase in crime rate

More traffic jam incoming...

How we wan com take they waka 🤣🤣🤣

Each Okada used to make money in Lagos is a company on it's own. Each Okada feeds a family... Husband, wife and kids. Imaging closing down 2k tricycles(businesses) in Lagos.. This will really affect productivity. Lateness to work is back again.

Mz_Anaum See these people 😢

U don't mean it, how will people in Lagos survive then?

Lagos state govt will collect tax returns from Opay ban them just like that. It's not fair to all concerned and will never build good friendship with investors.

MbakweOrji Nawa oh, what's the alternative now

The Clime in Nigeria is bad for business.

OPay contract with Mc oluomo ti wo voice mail..😂

The beginning of amotekun! Only this policy in these 6LCDA's will slash population of Niger/Chadians riding okada! Conservative estimate of 400k will be ousted! What do we do about them

This is highly insensitive, I pray the governor reverses this.

Woah really

Ah. Gobe

Hmmm... if you are in power today, consider those who cannot meet ends.

jidesanwoolu has just opened the door to full scale social menace. You take away their source of livelihood, you better be prepared to dine with the devil. These guys will hound the innocent people.

This is rubbish na . Always banning without setting up any palliatives

Hardship reignite by jidesanwoolu

My Monday meetings 😢

what is the alternative... clueless government

Probably aimed at running d Fulani foot soldiers out of business cos their massive influx into Yoruba land of recent is suspicious

Ahhhhhh!!!!

your_therapist1 No work una dey ban okada wetin man go chop I pray one your daughter's will fall for me

Even tricycles😩😩😩😩 It's to be trekking that remain

So everybody should buy his own car naw

To be replaced by what? Hardship on people

Though this would affect me especially when I don't drive. But this ban is “over-neccessary' and welcomed.

Please always read the article first... All this f*coming headlines are just to draw your attention...

Please correct the headline, this is Nigeria.

Tbh this is welcoming. Their riders should be properly trained on how to ride without always causing accidents on the roads. Have you seen how they swerve, aggressively take every little space corner in vehicle blind spots? Abgero nonsense things.

Why total ban, why not restrict them from certain roads? How do you expect people without cars to move to areas that 10 streets away from them, to trek?

Why?

Tricycles too? Na WA o

FeralJack_ Ameeeeeeen NAkufoAddo

The measures were taken by the Government in response to “scary figures” of fatal accidents recorded from operations of Okada and tricycles in the State between 2016 and 2019. - Gbenga Omotosho

And later we complain of insecurities, these people got mouths to feed. Man must eat after all..

They have given police men the total power to harrass and intimidate people for no reason. I think they shd have consulted the unions and app link bikes operators before making this pronouncements. I pity those guys that earn their living from this hustle.. Shai

How do this people think for christ sake!? 🤦‍♀️ How do we survive Lagos traffic that y'all have failed to tackle? Unemployment and crime will definitely going to be on a high rate too. This is nonsense tbh!

Reason why investors avoid countries like ours like a plague. The business environment is so volatile and irrespective of the data you collate, you can’t predict shit. You collect millions in licensing fees including the recent union fees per bike, then turnaround to ban them.

Mad ooh this will be really hard on us mehn...

At times our government just take decision without thinking, .. what did they really want those affected to live on...

This is why many foreign investors would never take this country serious. How do you give someone license to operate a business and you wake up the next moment to implement policies that foils the operations of that business.

This is serious how will people get around in Apapa?

They just want to tell all the Northerners riding bike to go home so that Boko Haram will kill them. Just because there is a body language that northerners might not support Tinubu's presidential ambition. Opay contract was signed by Abode. Sanwo-Olu want to make take his own cut

Why use them during elections Well those ones are fools I know, they collect money and still vote them in. The president included

My M.D leaves her car at home and use bike because of lagos traffic. This applies to lots of lagosians and it is ridiculous. You fail to challenge the real issues of lagos and pursue a facade.

With this high level of unemployment in the country the govt is still dripping of their means of lively hood .may the lord have mercy

The keke i enter this evening never comot nylon for seat...na tear rubber

jidesanwoolu banning these modes of transportation without credible alternatives isn’t helpful. It will cause major transport difficulties, increase suffering, increase joblessness and result in higher crime rate. This is not a well thought out approach. Please rescind!

With the population and the bad roads in Lagos and you think banning okada is the right thing to do? This people don't know what we face daily in Lagos,they just stay in office to decide whatever they want. Mtcheeeew

I hope the government realize a lot of people invested their hard earned money on OPay ?

This not the first time they will say this. just give them few weeks. okada go they work again

How do we escape holdup now☹️

Something is wrong somewhere with Lagos Governments

I bet nobody read the full article as usual before commenting,here you go.

Lmao wow suzyonce_

Ibadan and abeokuta will be at receiving end for this policy... I hope they will be able to shoulder the aftermath

Problem

If safety and security is their reason for this ban, then why ban private companies whose main goal is solving these problems?

Easiest part way by lazy mind.

lagosstategov should consider the adverse effects on foreign investments to businesses. We can’t just be making policies without properly evaluating the situation holistically

Mad oooo

Nigeria is not a place to do business. You'll just be competing with the government.

With Chaotic traffic gridlock and comatose BRT operations, it's not the best decision

Is that governance? Fools at helm of affairs.

Tell me about 'removing' a smaller problem and 'introducing' a bigger one. LIKE SUBSIDY FOR SCARCITY.

This is crazy... spirit of wickedness. What is the reason biko?

Wow good bad news

OPay_NG GokadaNG rush to phc. Visit the Governor then make an ikwerre man your manager here in phc. He would allow u operate thank me later

Ephibob

Lmao impossible

About time

this people dey think like this ? so they don't know the online business will be affected too?

Chopping the arm to save the body. No contingency plan, high crime rate, unemployment, hunger, millions starving but the grand solution to all these problem is simple... banning Okada.

__skillzz you see what I tell you about govt not communicating, few idiots just sit and make decisions

And what will those riding the bikes and Keke do afterwards, how do they survive? What will happen to those who use bikes for delivery business? Another set of jobless people will be thrown into the society.

Most of them voted for Tinubu and the APC at all levels. Choices have consequences! Until people are ready to confront their oppressors and take back their freedom, they would continue to be used as pawns in the chess game of mediocre politics

Does it include courier/logistic companies?

They should make adequate preparation to guards all the houses in the affected areas. Crime rate will increase

Dear Governor it's indeed a good idea but then u need 2 consider how many families will b on d streets jobless. Consider d security of lives in d state as a great majority of d population goes jobless Pls don't make more folks go hungry...a hungry man is an angry man my2cents

ayemojubar I think there's a problem with the statistics on which this decision is based. They may need to categorize the bike & Keke accidents. How many accidents have been attributed to Gokada and Opay riders with their training plus the fact that they use helmets.

Government should prepare to tackle burglary, thefts, robberies of all types. All these Hausa's and Nigeriens. Neighborhood Watch watch out

Mad oo

Enablers are being served all the way from Abuja to Lagos. But when elections are near, MC Olomu go de mobilize them like kilode. I hope they learn from this and do something diff.

Same people who voted for him

Lmaooo

This will do nothing but increase the crime rates and unemployment

Av been waiting for this.. finally it has happened..and am so glad

& what's the way forward? Are there alternative measures to tackle traffic menace? Are there also jobs for these transporters? In Nigeria where jobs are taking without proper alternate work & nothing happens

One year to the state gubernatorial elections(2022), unannounced, they will lift the bans only for them to announce the ban again in 2024 after they must have won in the elections. Scammers and sociopaths in government. 😱😱😱

Power bike nkoor

Tele come and see ZamirLX

An idle hand is the devil's workshop.

Banning isn't the problem, the state govt shouldn't be ready for an increased crime rate.

Lagosian should protest... if not please. Okada move freely self... Una dey enter house midnight

Afrobeat_World When you ban mariwa(tricycle) and the lagos state government gave mariwa(tricycle) to people in collaboration with the house on the rock church during. The experience 2019.

One of the hurdles of startup in Nigeria is inconsistent government business policy.

Provide jobs for them na.... Nonsense

Sanwolu kindly note you are creating a monster in a docile mind of those who already made their mind for last breath

So how are people supposed to get past the traffic. Be making stupid policies without doing any homework. What's wrong with these politicians sef? Who are their advisers?

It's a welcome development.

Karisparks_ jerneeeeey eyah

Lol plst

Lmao Lagos is slowing turning to Hong Kong, you people will walk eh 😂 😂

Wooh, Sanwo, I heard you built your red and blue rail lines overnight. I also heard you flooded Lagos with BRT buses and even Taxis, ferries and tramps. Hurray, chase dem okada and keke into the lagoon sharp,sharp.👏👏👏

More crimes coming through

My advice to Opay and Gokada is that they should go to Court if they established the business legally...

Thank you Lagos. Boko Haram boys running Helter skelter on bikes, are you sure all this bike men are Nigerians?

Wonder if those running logistics biz will be affected. If so. No bike would be able to easily move around in Lagos,picking and delivering. Prices go up also. See how this is transferred to e-commerce so fast.

Even in Uae Dubai to be precise, okada is not ban and protected by law.

The bans is just for a period of time just gives them three months things will go back to normal ways n you know na them them

Welcome to the club, why am I not surprised 2 months ago this happened to residents of Abuja. Why I was totally against it initially, I soon found the benefit of a more quiet road and lesser traffic. Apologises to all whom this may affected.

I guess the alternative would be private cars and helicopters.

I pity this guy, his waka just statrted, Lagos state govt has added to his wahala

Lagos is mad then! 😤

Did they provide job for this people?

esomchy true?

This is rubbish.

Jokes

Rubbish bann.... They even have the mind to ban Okada in Apapa after failing abjectly to rid the area of its constant gridlock... How do they expect people to commute there...

The ripple effect... OMG

Gidi_Traffic TrafficChiefNG trafficbutter how do you ban bike in apapa... Is there some other mode of transport there?... Except helicopter? Because there is no road there

This country is casted. Nigerian Govt be toying with revolution!

fynvanilla

If we xray this critically, the road infrastructure cannot accomodate the high volume of cars that will be pushed back into the road ad a result of banning Okadas. If we do a benefit and cos analysis, the negative health impact as a result of this may outweigh d accident ratio.

Is this another way of calling everybody to the table for negotiations or how do they plan to implement this effectively considering their track record ?!

Government does not create employment but instead frustrates people who are doing their businesses..so sad

Only in Nigeria ban in place no alternative wonderful government, and this is the brilliant Sanwo Olu Tinubu foisted on us.

Lagos is working again.

It is finished

Person go do yahoo Na go arrest person go thief Na go kill ham cult Na go jail ham now people working hard for there family did you provide job for them did they consider how many families will starve cos of this May wrath of titans be on you old fools

Bad news

This government are just fool of crap

Hope it’s not in Lagos as a whole.. because 🤔🤔

LifeOfLade And the madness continues... BellaMayei orit_sema

I'm sure the government has made job provisions for the affected people and a faster means of transportation too. That's the only way this makes any sense

Dear HR, I am stuck in traffic and as you know the government has banned bikes on our route, it is impossible for me to trek for ojuelegba to apapa, kindly bear with me Best regards

Dispatch bikes too?

Another knee jerk reaction. They should be banning the Agberos who the real menace on the road.What happens to employers of labour like the bike hailing coys Gokada,obike et al?

Ban what? They are mad ppl

What about people's jobs...ease of transportation...what other options have they provided? How will road traffic be reduced!?

SanwoOlu needs to be guided. How do u want them to survive? Who does that now? A country where there’s no job u put ban again. Weyrey

The governor should be held responsible when these people start stealing to feed their families. Shame ! lagosstategov lagosstategov

So how do we survive the traffic?

Please! It’s not Lagos that Ban them! It’s The Govt! Eni shey oloriburuku o ! 👀

Does this affect delivery companies

Boom! Someone prophesied about this last week..

I know we want to build an amazing neat city. But you just can't start this way. At least not with the current unemployment rate and poverty. But Naija sha

Instead of you to work on proper traffic managements..you went ahead to ban alternative means of transportation ease.. Tel your Danfo and Agberos to be of proper conducts or leave the road first and see if there won’t be improvements followlasg jidesanwoolu

This is not good.

Chai! Opay is affected ☹️

Why ban trycycles? People go suffer for Lagos

So Lagos State Government has decided to take people jobs and earnings, bully the private sector's innovation without an alternative relating to transportation and job opportunities. Shame!!!

When are the yellow buses Danfo going to be banned? Let's make Taxis affordable, so everyone can afford it.

Why now 💀😭

Why? Has followlasg jidesanwoolu Provided any alternative yet? When would this ban syndrome end in Nigeria? Don't lagos state know how much revenue is being generated daily, from okada and keke riders? Why is leadership and good policy so difficult for Nigerian politicians?

They want to be backing people atink?

The Lagos State government goofed big time before this ban there should be alternative and good roads See ehnn it’s impossible to live in Lagos without bikes at least for now.

Bad governance everywhere... So how do we enter our long streets from the bus-stop? What is left for people who are poorly disabled? What is left for people suffering from partial stroke? sanwoolu ti ya werey

Laughable decision. It will DEFINITELY be reversed! Remember this is people's livelihood. They can't ban life!😢

jidesanwoolu must be a joke for including Opay and Gokada.. We have a very useless government in this Lagosstate.. Is there any preparation for this Opay rides, is there a new job opportunities for them. Has the gridlock in Lagos state cleared.. Is like you people don't think

Things fall apart

cchukudebelu Yet the government of the day seeks to encourage MSMEs. Outfits you can sue and sanction if they default, they pay tax and employ labour... Yet you shut them down. You and your executive council sha!

Until the next election then same politicians will buy okada for electorates to induce voting.

Put a bunch of people out of jobs then proceed to complain about high crime rates And una dey think before making decisions sha

Reading the comments in this tweet its clear that some people just don't want NIGERIA to do good .

FineAlajo Wow! Just like that? Over 100,000.00 people are now jobless...I never saw that coming. Who did we offend ?

Naija drama Na wen suffer go end in dis country

Gosh! My blood is boiling

At least if you are banning them, are you providing other means of income to feed their families

Is this possible kenechuqu way Phenom and Frank way be street Lords....This can't happen!!!

jidesanwoolu why are you doing this

Where una wan pack all these tricycle go? Lol Wahala dey oo!!!

kelsboy

Sanwoolu is a joke🤡

As much as they annoyed me, this is so unfair.

Tomorrow the Commissioner will come out and say it is fake news!

Robbery in d increase

Lagosian re finished 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

This is Inhumane,many will be affected and poverty rate will increase. Sanwo olu is not smart:

So opay will end up sacking their staff. This is madness. With the mad traffic in Lagos, there need to allow bikes.

This one nor go werk for eko oh

Wait did you say O Pay and Gokada ?

What other available jobs has the government provided for them? I hope it's a well thought out policy. As this action will lead to loss of means of livelihood for these Okada operators with it's attendant consequences of increase in crime rate.

I can’t believe this shit!

Apparently 6months to 2023 Election this ban will be lifted only to be implemented again after the swearing in of the Next/same Gov UseandDump .

asemota

Very good

Problem with investing or starting a business in Nigerianis that the government can wake up any day and put you out of business without any repercussion.

Isn't it possible that those whose source of livelihood has been taken will resort to crime in order to feed?

The subtle movement of people from a region with high security risk makes this decision necessary. The last time they came on trailer with their bikes without accommodation the state was helpless. Opay and others will have to endure for the security of millions.

Lagos govt are doing the right thing with wrong planning. Lagos as the most populated city in Nigeria so man means of transpo like the sky train, sea boats, the normal train and others are not available even if there are they can't serve a fraction of Lagos population...

Wow 😳

The first big step for ensuring road safety is create good roads, create alternatives routes /rail for petrol tankers and heavy goods. Petrol explosion on road is the highest level of danger atm. Okada: enforce ideal efficient policy .

The problem is that Nigerians don't want to fight back we just take life as we see it and try to move to Canada

A government just wakes up and bans a form of transport with out thinking of the consequences. Hundreds of thousands of people have just been put out of business. This is not a government of the people.

Wetin man go do

Lagos na wa. This is the real next level🤔

Lagos is not the only state that banned okada and keke even fct and Anambra did same long time ago

This is the news headline Naija Police will read 😂😂😂😂

Lagos should also ban all those thugs and miscreants disrupting traffic, fomenting troubles and damaging vehicles on the highway all in the name of collecting levies for chairman.

I think this is the smartest thing BOS administration has done in Lagos state since inception. Abuja is a sane city today because El-rufai dared the gods and goad the oxes. Lagos go clap for this very move las las.

Gbagam.

APC is working

When you ban this people from plying this roads, how do u consider the commuters and the job loss. Before u make decision, u should also consider the most affected and measures put in place

Ha!!!! Ds isn't fair at all na. No sympathy on Lagosians at al

Lagos the city of suffering.

jidesanwoolu I think you need to reverse this, what alternative have you made the people you will render homeless? And the masses that used their services?

Now thief go full everywhere. Be careful out there.

Does this affect logistics business owners too?

Wahala! 🙆🏼

These pple are utter bonkers las las. Do they even think before acting 🤦🏾‍♀️

If you do not have a Bussines or a stable job in Lagos state, go back to your village! APC government has spoken indirectly🚶🏼‍♂️🚶🏼‍♂️

Omo watch as robbery and picking g pocket will increase it wont be easy in Lagos without bikes

Not new

Even in the streets?

This country is in shambles I swear

dedonobaz nawa

This is what happens when you have returnees, buttees & hatres in your administration to advice and manage a state that is creatively created. We need ppl with love and creativity with the feel of street wisdom to govern Lagos.

Business owners in this country are damned

Huh?

This is a lie😱

This is not good; poor timing and that makes it bad decision. No good roads with a very insufficient road network

An act of stupidity ...in an economy this bad and a transportation system that's so poor this is a joke 😂 .

jidesanwoolu Do you know how high crime-rate will soar Do you want to kill the owners of these businesses?... Do you care how many people you are about to render jobless?

Worst decision ever made

Imagine people who have bought these okadas on hire purchase and put on Gokada and Opay thinking the business is blooming. Those who also resign their jobs to face Opay and Gokada. 😠🙂 Okada literally solves the issue of getting stock in traffic and save time.

WOW!

ceonigeria_ Is it the Lagos I am inside or another Lagos?

Nigerian leaders(smh) Always quick to disperse laws without adequate checks and balances. You taken the livelihood of these people without due transition. this is how crime and high unemployed continues to thrive.

Hurr 😢 😢 my OPay_NG

Why?

For the Lagos State govt. my questions are.. Was there a timeline before the ban to prepare people? - are there safety nets to help the affected citizens? - what measures are on ground to fill the public transportation gap as a consequence? - is it the right time?

Hope they know the consequences if no alternative for both the passengers and the drivers

It’s not everywhere tho

Follow me, promise to follow back

Nice one! If Kano and Kaduna states can be OK without Okada riders, Lagos state can also be. After all, its those Abokis that dominate Okada riders and they are even a threat to the state. They should go to their Northern states and do their Okada business.

jidesanwoolu drobafemihamzat This isn't fair

Amuwo odofin wasn't included amongst the places that okada was banned.. Most of the okada riders there are mad people o, especially the aboki ones.. I was hoping to see them on the list.

officer_eed ani am your friend and brother ... told u no invest oo

This won't last long!

Gokada, Max ng & co..

I’ve heard this so many times abeg

Nawha ooooh

APC here APC there everytime APC....every matter no dey pass APC

I like D APP GOVT THEY CAN BAN FOR AFRICA THEY LIKE TO BAN SOON THEY'LL BAN DANFO AND IN THE END NO SOLUTION TO ANY PROBLEM WE MASSES ARE FACING.DEY SHOULD JUST CHANGE THE BROOM TO RUBBER BAND

Banning and re-incorporating

I support the ban 100%. They are nuisance. See Orun Nyabo kiseru enikan. It will affect everyone.

What?

The Hate that d Nign State emits to it's people is just dumbfoundn. I mean hw do u justify d ban of Okada n Keke esp to d ever growing traffic reports in d metropolis n also pulling people frm dere little means of survival? It's just Jan n d govt is planning Hardship for Ple?

Please Nigerians help to help a friend that lost all her stuffs in recent Market fire that happened in Mushin few days ago. She been very down due to the shock. thank God she is not in hospital but whatever we can do to save a family.Pls nothing is too small Pls help RT

Great news. Safer roads

A gov was asked 'what are your plans about street hawking' he said he can't stop them cos he doesn't have alternative jobs for them yet. Another gov bans okada, tricycles leaving thousands jobless. How can you stop insecurity when you shut a door & open another for crime?🤷

🤣🤣🤣🤣 opay own sweet me die

It's too easy to run mad in Nigeria. Just start a business in Lagos!

dondekojo MC Oluomo took his own share from opay and gokada. Same with the police and other state agencies. Who's gonna pay back those monies?

Is this a joke ?

Imagine the number of persons that would be jobless again what’s going on in this country

Let's think twice about this...

oloba29

Nigeria has a way to humble all... A ship on ground...

Why?

And we are all sitting down like a hippopotamus without saying or doing Nada 😭 Oh Nigeria 😳😳😳😳

My own is, what happens to the millions of people employed by these bike hailing companies Opay alone had over one million workers in Lagos alone!! What happens to them now Back to the streets and haunting for Limited jobs again

uzookoli

Audio

Yaayy!! Praise God, finally God has heard my prayers

Good. There is rice in Kano 😬.

This country is a mess from top to bottom.. There are other states in Nigeria 🇳🇬 Okada ppl. Opay et al

This Lagos state government is not ok at all..

cchukudebelu When things like these happen, the economic cost is monumental. Investors remain afraid of inconsistent government policies and an unpredictable operating environment.

Where is Ambode?

__ukeme This people want me to be missing my flights and appointments 😭😭😭

Decision has to be taken, Lagos cannot continue to use Okada forever this is why u have to be innovative while investing in such business bcoz it should be foreseen that it won't last forever

What alternative do they have on ground? It will increase crime rate in the state

cchukudebelu Discuss

During elections it will still b the okada riders dat will campaign for them

This is not good sha.

I still salute people that use okada from ikorodu to ikoyi, obalende or v. I, how do you people do it. You are my hero o,or should I say I have bike allergies

All this places mentioned here you cannot get any other means if transportation there except this bikes and keke. Lagos state government should jettisoned this ban immediately.

Crime rate z about to hit the roof, chai

Lagosians, now thy suffering continues 😩😩

Tricycles? Huh?....this isn't fair...

This is a very bad idea

Ohounsi remember when we discussed about this happening? Lol

Now the reasonable question to ask would be: When did Lagos state govt issue out the operating licenses to getoride OPay_NG and GokadaNG and now issuing out a ban of these ride companies alongside normal okada riders from operating in the 15 of the busiest LGs and LCDAs?

Sometimes, I think that the ruling party in Lagos is totally lacking ideas ‘nd critically, basic knowledge ‘nd application of same in administering the state! The organized operators (OPay, Gokada, et al) had provided a solution but trust our outstanding leaders to mess up!

lagosstategov U just wake up and ban things...do u settle to count the cost of these actions b4 implementation?

My expectation was for the authorities to train and coordinate the activities of tricycles operators as they are lawless, reckless, endangering other road users lives.

GREATNEZ_ Mad oooo

This is the worst decision make by any authority in 2020.

from one brainless policy to another 🤦🏾‍♂️ dear God, this level of incompetence from these moronic, pushover, shy on the world stage, corrupt african leaders that God decided to punish africa with have to be stopped.

I really don’t understand how policy makers reason in this country . Is this a health issue? Or an economic issues ? Are the prons and cons considered.

So sad for the poor 😭

initial gragra! No more danfo from oct 2018.

What's their gain to making life hard for Nigerians?

These bike hailing platforms especially have bikes of 200cc and above, they’ve employed thousands and empowered many, they’ve invested millions of naira even after roundtable negotiations This isn’t fair really.

Jraimz This is so wrong So so wrong

How long will they keep saying this, it can never work, u want people to lose their jobs because of traffic, or ✈ or even emergency can come up & no way cos of traffic, then bike fit in & they want to take it away not possible

Well.... It was just a matter of time.

Same okada riders that campaigned for them to assume office. That's why one should be very careful in getting freebies from the 😈

Thank God long over due!!!!

Madness! So I should start trekking from Obalende to V.I

Time for people to move out of Lagos with All this traffic una decide to ban Okada smh

Hope u'r ready to provide them jobs.....? Areapasewaaaa!!!

God oooh.see Traffic

All they do is ban, destroy people's business without providing an alternative means of livelihood, we have the most useless rulers in the history of mankind. After banning them what next?

I want to know and be sure if they're banned outrightly or just restricted to some areas in Lagos. This news is incomplete.

Mehn robbers are about to takeover the whole lagos mehn🙆🏻‍♂️

dont they want the people to eat, can the Govt provide for the populace? at least two square meal a day? Let them hustle for their daily bread o

MrRArabi Doing business in Nigeria 😒

They want armed robbers everywhere in the country abi bandits

Na today? Eyaaa e don tey 😊

Just to increase nurtw income now that their anointed son is there?

Lol APC at it again

Only a matter of time. APC in Lagos is heading towards self destruction.

What are the palliative measures

Which country will found our self now? Why government always against whatever masses used to survive there life.why!!! .... Àiyé yin onidá oooo....coz you are the one that introduce it to the society.fucky all of you

These people are crazy

They’re Mad

Ease of doing business + cronyism Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣

Step in the wrong direction... increasing poverty level and making life miserable for the common man and miserable for people moving from point A 》B experiencing terrible holdup.

🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆 Lagos state govt should have considered those plying Allen to Ogba, Allen Guiness, Allen to Agege. I never see bus plying those places oooooo🤥🤥🤥

Very good move, now ship all those Fulanis out.

Dem mad

Will opay get a refund

krazyproff Pls we need more bans. In fact make sure you ban the masses from walking also. Let's enjoy d next level you all voted for. Thrash

When the CiC of Lagos needs money.....

I think it will be wise to ban them on highways and bridges only. This old list had never worked and it won't. It's just an opportunity to extort by enforcers and increase in crimes. Where are even the good roads for vehicles in Lagos?

It is not right for Okada to be plying the major highway as we do. So it is welcome if limited to the highway. Within the neighbourhood, is still ok. The matter of job creation is also one that GOVT at all levels shd look into.

This is just the beginning of Lagos traffic

This is insensitive. Very insensitive.

monsieur_avril Always a ban without an alternative solution

Misleading... 'Lagos bans Okadas,tricycles in some LGAs and LCDAs

Am so happy to hear this,now let me see what the yoruba people will say I know now that they will be crying

Oluwa wetin dey supplement? Lasgidi Don cast.

𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘇 𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗮𝗵𝗼𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗶𝘀

You people voted in vain

Are they ban outrightly from the listed LG, or ristricted from plying some roads in those LGs? jidesanwoolu, drobafemihamzat, gboyegaakosile, Gidi_Traffic, Mr_JAGs

Is not going to work.. MobileP

Is not going to work

Govt don't ponder on the implications of their actions. Imagine the amount of direct and indirect jobs that will be lost.

Okada riders voted for APC and so they can continue to suffering in silence and I hope they will ban NURTW

So funny, these people just make unnecessary laws

Bad news

Lagos is a commercial city for cry out loud. APC government should have a rethink or they should wait for the outcomes! 😈

Trekking things Better still go and buy bicycles

We don’t have a government..there all there for there selfish reason, where are job provisions made down for them or won’t they feed/ send there kids to school .. OPay has managed to provide the jobs you were unable to give out now your taking the jobs back from them .. ON GOD

Daft move

It was just a matter of time

After collecting money from OPay_NG abi .....Are the LSG not aware before now that this day will come?

What other transport schemes have they put in place to replace that which they scrapped, what plans have they got for those rendered jobless It is sad that in our country, govt leaps before it looks😞

Are this not the okadas I saw those terrorist driving who saw that video

Is d problem at hand? We always leave substance to pursue shadows very clueless APC government without no future plan's for d citizens

So where should these people get another job from? This country is sick.

Ah!!! So how do we survive this Lagos traffic ?

cagozi

Wow this is the next level

What of those rendered Jobless? Expect high rate of crime to skyrocket

Change

Ha😚

APC is useless Very very useless with the kind of daft moves it keeps making. These bike and tricycle operators would be rendered jobless without alternatives in place.

Punch stop this details later act pls.

Wetin dey happen nah. How many wan chop. E no make sense ooo
