Good development.
My ONLY question would be do the 1250 tricycle correspond to the number of okada riders that are being prohibited from okada business and who will eventually loose their source of income?

If no, then what provisions or other jobs have been provided for them?

If none. then it may only increase crime rates and cause more hardship on the population which can have rippling effects on the economy of the state

Uduaghan is a fool. Mumu governor. Vechicle are not even enough. People are treaking as if dey don't have money to pay for their fair. What did okada rider do to governor of delta state. That is their major source of employment. It will only increase crime rate. And u know what I mean by dat. Warri is on fire

trigar12: Good. THE OKADA MEN ARE NOT PROTESTING OVER THERE BUT THEY ARE TAKING LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT TO COURT. Hmmm

Why will Fashola seize their bike aŋԂ destroy them? He is the first to do that.

Because they are carrying them along gradually. I don't like this Uduaghan guy because I see him as an extension of Ibori but he is making some moves lately that is making me reconsider. Fingers crossed though.
I'm telling u! Dis is not fair. No one is taken into consideration and the worse of all no prior arrangements was made. All dose stories about provisions made are jez farce! I struggled to enter a bus today while coming back from work and I paid twice d normal fare!
This is inhumane!

Let people learn how to walk or ride bicycles in Nigeria. As sophisticated is Amsterdam bicycle is king there. We are too lazy in this country coupled with some useless show of class that at the end of the day leaves our pockets so dry.

Kx: Delta State provided a highly subsidized alternative just like Akwa Ibom b4 they went ahead to ban okada.

Dont this governors do peer review? Why was Fash's case different?
its alll said n nnt done... D price is above dat... D vehicles available rr nt suufficient @d moment... I knww d kyn trek wey I trek today
Re: Okada Ban In Delta Starts Today by Nobody: 3:22pm On Nov 01, 2012
tho i support d ban, d so called alternative, the tricycle isn't even avaliable nd also d delta city bus. Transportation just became worse.
Re: Okada Ban In Delta Starts Today by hakymbiyiyaho: 3:23pm On Nov 01, 2012
tosag: you need see the way people are trekking under the hot sun here in warri. Mehnn! Nigerians are really sufferring. Meanwhile, Uduaghan and his aides all fly first class and go about in a/c cars. The day is coming when people will enter the streets with guns, knives machete and oda weapons in revolution to this kind of bad leadership.

And who will they attack Oga mi?The truth is that these govts are making some mistake by not providing what is neccesary for the ppl.However,i think it is for our own good.God bless Nigeria

Many places in Europe roads are very narrow yet people walk my friend. When did this okada come into Nigeria sef? Bad road, bad road.. na only okada sabi ride for bad road sef? How many keke did Amaechi gave to them in PH before banning okada? Has armed robbers taken over PH since their ban took place? Are you not seeing some element of sanity there now? I am not a usual government advocate but am with them on this one. Situation will gradually correct itself and that menace will go away. We always talk as if okada is the only profession left available in Nigeria.
Re: Okada Ban In Delta Starts Today by sebyluv(m): 3:39pm On Nov 01, 2012
D recent craze for ban on okada really baffles me. I m still trying to get d reason behind ds bans. Cos if dey say its to reduce d rate of robbery, dat is so not true cos d real robbers don't even use okada but sophistacated cars. N if dey say accidents, den dey shud ban all d cars plying d highway dat r involved in accidents.
I wud rather advice dat our roads be well fixed n d power situation be fixed b4 we go abt ds bans

Frustration can make a sane man insane. Our government is wicked. Though the ban reduced the traffic situation. The sad part is that thousands of families have just lost their source of livelihood.

Re: Okada Ban In Delta Starts Today by naptu2: 4:28pm On Nov 01, 2012
In 1987 General Babangida inaugurated the integrated mass transit system, but unfortunately it wasn't implemented until recently when the Lagos State Government took up the idea. We should push for the implementation of this policy as a solution to our transport problems.

When moving from one district of a city to the other people should use BRT, rail or ferry systems. Bus stops should be built at ferry terminals and train stations so that commuters can easily go from one mode of transport to the other.

Mini bus taxis (danfo), motorcycle taxis (okada) and auto-rickshaws (keker Marwa) should primarily ply routes within a district.

Some of the okada riders might take to crime, but that will be a minority. Majority will have the moral boundary that will prevent them from taking to crime. They'll become porters (wheel barrow pushers) at markets, vegetable and fruit sellers, cobblers, etc. (Remember, there are other options apart from crime and okada).

My belief.
I believe we should pressurise state governments to implement multi-modal transport solutions. How come only Lagos State has a BRT system?

I also believe that skills acquisition centres should be set up for those who may lose their source of livelihood because of the ban on okada operations. They should be taught carpentry, tailoring, soap making, etc.
Re: Okada Ban In Delta Starts Today by tnktosin(m): 4:30pm On Nov 01, 2012
He made it clear that the restriction would begin today in Warri, Asaba and Effurun, warning that the ban did not exclude private motorcycle users.
He said: ”Anybody who may claim to be using his or her motorcycle for private purposes or haulage should construct a carriage at the back signifying that it is not a passenger motorcycle.
U want me to install a carriage on my powerbike? I'd be riding when i return, we'd see about that....ORUE!!!! angry

Before you guys continue saying nonsense on here..
Ask yourselves the % of nigerians this okada biz is giving employment.
Ask yourselves again how many citizens are benefiting 4rm this okada rides.
You see, the problem with transportation is not the express or tarred roads where u hav safer alternatives like buses or even keke. The problem is gettin to ur house that is far off from a major road that buses and keke plies.
This is not fair... 9ja is just not matured enough for this yet.. It's like tryin to build a house from the roof..
Re: Okada Ban In Delta Starts Today by onyekabe(m): 5:29pm On Nov 01, 2012
I live in warri as okada rider. What you people do not know about the keke is that the politicians bought them all and give it out as hired purchase. This ban on okada will force many boys into violent crimes that has just started

The government can't do every thing for you my friend. I guess you will wait till government tar every fucking road in Nigeria before they introduce a life saving measure. Wait till the next generation for that but in the mean time this has come to stay. If you have been a victim or someone you know have been a victim of the menace called okada you will not wait for this Eldorado before calling on them to do just this. Typical Nigerian! smh for you

The govt cant do everytin bt they are the ones that should enable a good enviroment for the state or country to be developed,u are talkin about the menace of okada victims,if your father was driving that bike just to make sure u eat daily,am sure u will be having heart attack by now,am not sayin that d ban should be droped,the govt should hav called these guys,educated dem on good driving skills,ensure that they monitor and control thier activities cause there are some bad ones among the good ones.Too much journey outside the shores of nigeria by these governors are making them come up with differents laws everyday,they forget that rome was not built in a DAY,get a good system on ground,then flush out wht should be removed
