#OkadaBan in Lagos: Some Notable Reactions on Twitter

With the Lagos #OkadaBan, we appear, as usual, to have gone for the option that involved the least thought & planning from a public policy perspective. If you are introducing 65 buses & 14 new ferries from tomorrow, introduce them first and watch it work before announcing a ban.

For a Greater Lagos. #OkadaBan pic.twitter.com/QmOYgdWZQl

I don't have a car yet, same goes for some other people in Lagos. You see those people that use their private cars to kidnap people ehn, the #OkadaBan just helped their mission. I stopped entering private cars to work because thrice I've been a victim. Let's be careful people

The main cause of traffic in Lagos is Danfo but your government thinks banning Okada and Napep that is saving lives is the solution. Someone who wakes up by 5am to beat traffic will have to start waking up by 3. Your government lacks human emotional intelligence #OkadaBan #Otrek

14 ferries and 65 buses for a population of 18 million? #okadaban
Let me just be quiet.

In London alone there are 8,600 buses in the bus fleet, operating on 700 routes, serving 19,000 bus stops serving a population. Of 8.7 million.

Eat that!
