In Canada we have strict laws about motoring and safety. Our motorcyclists have two sets of driving tests they must pass to get a licence to ride them. If we had motorcyclists to take individuals around the insurance(which is required by law here) would be horrendous. As it is, no one has even tried to do this here. For we only have one good season for motorcycling. Thus it would not be adventageous to anyone. I find it interesting that is type of riding is a cheaper alternative, and one which can take people to places hard to travel to. This is interesting to me.

When there was no Okada, we even achieved more. God bless. Okada as you rightly observed is a public niusance, and I support the ban.

I don't know if it's stil on but the way it worked, no motorcycle was allowed on the road after 7:00pm or the rider was fined. Of course, it meant everyone had to scramble from work before 7 so they could get one to take them home. For the poor people who slave nbight and day trying to make some meagre change from okada, I wonder what'll happen. Is the FCT minister trying to increase armed robbery in Abuja?

"If only an alternative will be provided for these men, then we will have no reason to complain…… " I can bet my very last kobo ( ok penny) that no alternative has ben provided to fill the void created by banning the okada's. Ok u say buses has been provided but have they expanded the route these buses will ply to cushion the effect of not having okada's? More Keke Marwa's could be provided to cushion this or have they been banned also? That is the problem with our country.
