Nigeria’s Attorney General has announced that the Government is thinking seriously of banning Okada (commercial motorcycles).
This is because the government is blaming them for a lot. But without creating alternative employment or funding for the okada riders how do they want the Okada riders to feed?
One good thing then Governor Oshiomhole did when he banned them in Edo State then was to give them keke.
But why our government is like this ????
They are banning okada rider for insecurity in the country and all that but they can’t blame the units responsible for insecurity
Our government should just be reasonable at times
This okada that we are talking about even graduates that are yet to secure a job are doing it to survive life
They should provide alternative first before deciding to ban them
Of a truth, okada riders are contributing to some of the challenges we are facing in the nation. Eg.. reckless riding leading to accidents, creation of slump areas or squatter settlements as most of them are migrants who can’t afford to rent a house etc. But banning them without alternative will create more havoc to the system as most will be rendered jobless…. And it is said, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop..
Fact
@shecksman you are right they should provide alternative means of survival for those involved
Imaging someone using it to feed family
If they should ban it now where will people using it to survival start from if there is no alternative
Government should have a deeper think on the matter
I hope they come out with better options
I sincerely don’t have problem with that only if they will provide alternative for them
Yeah
Sometimes I don’t understand our government
This is not even about people that I using for a living but also people that are using it for ease transportation inclusive
Government should just have a proper thinking on this
All the best anyways
Alternative should be provided please
This is not a good idea. Banning with out creating any solution. Hmmm….
Government should rethink! provide alternative means first before thinking of banning.
Banning okada will bring more hardship to the people . This is not a good option. Government should please rethink.
