Una still dey complain bah? Dem go still ban Una from trekking

One reason I like kano, road network..many roads leads to one place, but Lagos, one road to everywhere

FuckAllTheMODs:
I the night I trekked from Ilaje bus stop to Sangotedo area because of hold up(you know all those types of hold up that will take a vehicle every 20-30 minutes to move and stop).
I knew those drivers where somehow happy because people that paid at the garage and their bus or cab barely moved for 5 minutes came down and forfeit the money for trekking.
That was the day I know there's difference between I'm OK and I'm fine

Lmao @I'm OK and I'm fine. So what's the difference?
Anyway, don't think the drivers will be happy too, time is of essence to them and they ended up wasting it in the traffic.
Don't know the bunch of clueless government we have. So insensitive to the plight of masses.
I hope the governor will do something soonest to ameliorate this situation for you guys.

To be honest i enjoyed the 35 minutes trekking.

You know you're a liar.
Which side of VI did you treck to?

ylaa:
I trekked from my house to Iyana Oworo, then I ed staff bus.

Good, you need to burn your fat.

IyaTola:
Let me analysis the far reaching effect of the #OkadaBan and Keke to Nigerians.

1. Increase in Crime Rate.
2. Increase in cost of living
3. Loss of lives during an emergency.
4. Low sale of Fuel for Filling Stations.
5. No more sale Vulcanizers
6. Increase in Lateness to work

You get brain

etzmiezbee:
I trekked from Ojuelegba to Bode Thomas and am very sure am trekking back home���

Yes baby. I need to catch you on the way.

PerfectMatchNG:
You can rain curses all you want, they expect it. We all know how far the curses go. If we’re being serious, RunLagos should be obstructed on Saturday morning. Protest peacefully on Saturday. Let sponsors of the event be affected. Let pressmen carry the news and let foreigners see the mess that Lagos really is. Put Sanwoolu’s hypocrisy in his face, in front of all and sundry.

I agree with a peaceful protest to disrupt Lagos marathon this weekend

From Ekore or New Garage to Iyana Oworo?
Maybe one of us even saw you on the bridge o!

Time to invest in transportation business in Lagos is here.
Buy korope (aka akoto) give it to some guys inside VI. and smile every weekend when you collect your money.

Transportation business is very lucrative now in Lagos if you get brain.
That your suya stuff can never take you to anywhere. Highest those madam that hire you will shout on your head to bring asun in time.
I'm a party goer and I know what am talking about.

To be honest i enjoyed the 35 minutes trekking.

As for me, i prefer the bikes and keke do not come back.

Lets trek as we use to do and improve our health.

For those of you raining insult on me. I only shared my personal experience this morning o!
I am not Lagos state government and I do not justify the ban for the general public.
Please learn to read and comprehend.
I am not responsible for anyone's misfortune in life.

You are senseless. Trust me.

I have to trek from Ikeja Along to Opebi, and I have to trek the same way I came to. It was terrible, no buses to convey us. Some buses we saw called ridiculous prices. I trek am o lol.

Fiisty:

hi

What an experience, truth be told Lagos streets looks beautiful today but Government should make provisions before embarking on this ban
No OPay
No Oride
Go Kada zero
Keke zero

Its now time for O trek

Phew! I just got home.
My office is at Allen Ikeja, so I decided to go via my usual route. Got to Maryland to meet hundreds of commuters. This was past 7am. All the buses coming were heading to ikeja. After waiting for like 30mins I decided to enter one but I alighted at unity bus stop. I walked the rest of the journey to my office.
Closing time! I got out to meet heavy traffic on both lanes (opebi Allen road). Ol boy no time...I hit the road.
Went through toyin street > custom > eko hospital > Maryland > Anthony > now home.
Took me an hour and half walk.
I even got home before those who entered buses.
But this is madness. I saw elderly ones and I felt concern about them.
How would they go home?

is it today you realised having a different opinion/belief from others qualifies you for insults on nairaland?


Never underestimate the bigotry of nlanders.
That was how two pitiful bigots(kingrexyl and righteousness88) called on mods to ban a man harmless practising his religion.

*Nigerian leaders and their half baked laws*
By Agbaje Femi Emmanuel

Just of recent, the executive governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwoolu banned the movement of Okada and Keke marwa from 11 local government areas in Lagos State. This has generated lots of mixed reactions amidst the populace with many pro and many anti the law. In my opinion, I begin to wonder if our leaders do have a functioning brain at all or if probably they think with their anus. Many are quick to him by saying India that produces a large chunk of these Keke allowed them under regulated laws. I'm not against law though as it has brought some sort of sanity and beauty in the affected areas especially with places like Ikeja amongst others but in the same vein are we propagating humanity over beauty?. Many are quick to compare Lagos with saner climes like USA, Canada etc but the question is are we as transport infrastructurally advanced as these people?, Do we have the right transport system, functioning roads and other things in place to compare our selves with these cities?. The last time I checked, the pace at which roads are deteriorating in Nigeria is inversely proportional to the rate at which we are constructing new roads and rehabilitating old ones, our water transport system is in shambles, our rail system is almost dead with no functioning intra state rail system, no mono rail, mo light rail, for over a decade we've been constructing a rail line that only God knows when it will be completed, the BRT buses on ground are not even sufficient to take care of engers even when these Keke napep and Okada are complementing their efforts, not to forget the fact that motorist will pry on the scarcity of vehicle to hike the prices of fare. Permit me to also include that okadas has helped saved a lot of man-hour loss as personally Opay had helped my organization in delivery of materials even when it's almost late. What about the large chunks of people that find solace in fending for their families through riding of these transport system. I'd love to bring to the notice of the government and whoever cares to listen that many of those that ride these transport system are graduates that the government refused to provide jobs for or better still did not give them an enabling environment for their small scale businesses to thriving thereby making them resort to riding these transport system to erk out a living. The list of the negative impact of this shaddy law are just so endless. Then I begin to ponder in my heart do our leaders but the interest of the masses at heart or rather do they carry out a risk assessment of their laws before enacting it?

osazsky:
na today nothing go happen..make them go learn work if we want development we must remove bikes and keke from our city nonsense....

You are one of the PROBLEMS on Nigeria.

No sensible government will ban the means of livelihood of thousands of its citizens without a good structure in place. If only those power drunk fools know the implication of this, they would have had a rethink. Imagine every bike owner decides to buy a car, is that not even another traffic problem in a state where problem of gridlock has always been the order of the day coupled with the bad roads?

Owk, will await you tomorrow

Babara1994:

Yes baby. I need to catch you on the way.

I hope the governor will do something soonest to ameliorate this situation for you guys.

The level of happiness or joy involved, one is just normal and the other is above normal... lol, just joking.

I hope he will do something about it, they only care if it affects them or their loved ones

Beautiful in what sense? Oh! Beautified with traffic I guess.

U guys are lazy. What if u were part of the israelite that trek from Egypt to promisr land. U guys should not complain.get use to the new development jare.beside we lagosians need excercise cos we are too busy to do any.

Andrewkinggg:
My brother..
I became a literal Israelite this morning. I trekked a journey of about 3km in 1hr because I needed to be at the secretariat for audit this morning. As i'm typing this I'm laying in bed with my both legs in excruciating pains. This Lagos don dey hard day by day. I guess it's a deliberate attempt by the government to frustrate some sect of people out of Lagos. These few policies this government has introduced isn't people oriented at all. People will suffer

Depopulation is extractly what people need.
Lagos is too populated.
Anyone who doesn't have meaning usefulness to Lagos should leave.
They should go to their states and make their useless governors able

Trekked from Cele to Ijesha, got a bus to Aguda (had to abandon the bus halfway coz of traffic) and then trekked from Aguda to Eric Moore. Razz
