The Recent Ban Of Motorcyclists In Abuja

Its no longer news in Nigeria that Motorcyclists in Abuja popularly known as Okada men has been banned and the FCT Minister Malaam Nasir El-rufai has provided some buses to replace these okada men.

Recently there has been some protests and people are not certain if these okada men are going to be brought back into the city.

Though they have been a niusance, they have also helped the poor or should I say the less privileged. They have even helped the rich.
There are some areas that ordinary cars and buses cannot penetrate in Abuja, and its these okada men that take people in no matter how far it is, the ban has made me wonder how some people will cope in such situation, it has made me wonder how those who have no money to buy buses or taxi to use as a source of living are going to cope.

If only an alternative will be provided for these men, then we will have no reason to complain……
