You crushing their okada which alternative job or bussiness have you given them to do...so they will stay jobless and idle...and an idle mind is the devil's workshop

operAhdam:
wetin okada people go dey do now.this is cruel

Is okada business a lucrative business

The okada that is a source of income for them and means of survival.and you are destroying it...how do you expect them to survive this hard Buhari economy..many of them will now involved in criminal activities... Am indirect way of increasing crime in Lagos State...so you have not solved any problem you have worsen the problem

Conversion you mean, not conversation.
These destructions of impounded items add to pollution of the environment.

waldigit:
This is clueless. Those bike can be converted to mini plough, planter and other farm implements that can be distributed to farmers free. Only conversation is needed. Sanwo can't you think?

The state government is indirectly encouraging crime. many of these bike men have families to feed. How did u engage them? Whar alternatives have u made for them and commuters??

Clueless government

DoggoneDogg:
That's 2,228 murderous aboki criminals on the loose in Lagos.

Their northern governors should invite them back home for immediate employment.

Lagos is not a refugee camp abeg.

badboyTee:
God punish sanwo olu

e pain this tin buahahahahahahaaaaaaaa

operAhdam:
wetin okada people go dey do now.this is cruel

They should go back home. Lagos is not for every nonentity out there.

And this is the same okada people you will be begging for and vote during election....and this is the dividends of democracy you can provide to them abi

They should extend the ban to keke napep because these criminals will soon migrate to keke and begin to intimidate and harass innocent citizens.
China that produces okada and keke has none on their roads.
Our youths don’t want to learn handwork again that will give them sustainable income till old age.
I the ban.

Gbengaoluz:
That was extreme on Same citizens who voted you into power

No, abokis don't vote in Lagos, they are that patriotic.
So they should use the same energy to demand for jobs from their northern governors back home.
How's that so hard?

Must every jobless nonentity come to Lagos for survival?

Farming is slow money + risk (if rain doesn't fall nko)
Okada is fast money. Now-now, collect your cash.
-
We have all fallen into fast money syndrome in Nigeria.
A barber in my area had to close down. His boys stopped helping. They need fast money.
Scamming and Kidnapping remain unpunished. Perpetrators are not caught. And they get the fastest money.
So nobody wants slow money again.

mmadu4:
This is really a stupid on the government's part . Inflicting more pain on the masses . Trust me this will increase insecurity and robberies in lagos

Did you say this same thing when some northerner state governors banned them?
Just checking something.

Gbengaoluz:

We don't want okada in lagos anymore. So there is nothing extreme there. Since , dem say dem get coconut heads..... crushing is the language dey understand......

SugarGirl44:

This is not dictatorship. Nigeria is open to all Nigerians to move about and live anywhere.
So they will just keep entering Lagos.

tellsblinks:
They should do same thing for kekenapep

operAhdam:
wetin okada people go dey do now.this is cruel

Go back to their states or find something else to do, if they must stay in lagos......

Senseless. Why crush them? Why not auction them off at cheaper rate to other states where they are not banned

Goldbw122:
Jesus, what is this, they should have give the bike to people that need help.

So they will be riding it lagos again. I love the crushing. Make e dey pain the owners.

Fedrick100:
Importing the okada to other states would’ve been better

I prefer the crushing. So the owners go know say , lagos government ain't joking....and a warning to those that are still riding bikes in Lagos ....

Gbengaoluz:

Extreme kee you there!

nextstep:
This is cruel. Na work dem de work, no be tif. People worked hard to gather money to buy these bikes, and a lot of them are on hire purchase.
In one fell swoop, Lagos govt has just crushed the dreams and hard work of thousands of people. Where will they get money to replace this loss?

I know there are some bad apples here and there, and that people had been complaining about the growing menace, but you should give the majority law-abiding ones fair warning, not just ban them one day, then seize their property the next. It would be something if government compensated them for the loss of their vehicle and income, or gave them 1 month to get out of town; it's not a crime to own a motorcycle is it? Haba, the insensitivity of governments in this country is something else.

So all the bike riders who have been feeding their families, and have been careful not to injure anyone, that have been paying all their dues, working this job because nothing else was available, what will they do now? All the investors who poured money into these bikes - just like that, all that lost.

If some of these people lose hope and start terrorizing the citizens, can we blame them?

Na only lagos dey for nigeria? The last time I checked, we have 36 states in nigeria. They should go to other states na.....we don't want bikes in Lagos anymore......

I love the crushing . They should nalso be sending them to jail , the enger also should be fine or 6 months community services, by sweeping the streets, clean public toilets, clean government primary schools toilets, maybe , dem go know say, we ain't joking

Seizing the bikes is one thing but its an actual waste to destroy them.

They can be used for other things or resold to china at a lower price.

Gbengaoluz:

Burning a whole human being is minor to you because of okada

waldigit:

Crushing then is the beginning of the conversion to other uses. Good evening

LordIsaac:
Extremity is the only language Africans understand. They were banned for many years without compliance.

You know your people well

Nonsense, what did they crush?

tellsblinks:
They should do same thing for kekenapep

make everybody just trek

Chieffoo007:
500m wasted
2228x200000
One bike is around 200k used bike

Not wasted . The government will use the crushed bikes, for something else. Recycling companies will buy from the government.

Omo sometimes I wonder if I am built different. Because if govt scatters my property like this e too sure me say I go look for way and get bombs and suicide bomb myself inside govt house , let all if us for at ones

Stupid people Don run purchase crushing machine, but they don't know that those countries they emulate their crushing manufactures motorcycle.

Yankee101:
Now this is wickedness

Not wickedness. Since dem say dem get coconut heads.....why dem self no obey the law?
