Beyond the issue of immediate comfort of Okada riding, we must think seriously about the issue of security. Apart from unprecedented armed robberies facilitated by Okadas, the surest way for Boko Haram to penetrate Lagos is via Okada as over 80% are Hausa/Fulani/Arabs of Niger, Chad and Sudan Origin. That has been the concern of security consultants and experts for some time. Lagos State Government action is like water poured on fresh fire before it spreads and consumes a whole market. Thus, those who are hoping to play politics with it have lost because the security agencies are quite happy with this decision and eager to implement it. It is hoped Ogun State government will not allow them to migrate to Ogun. A word is enough for the fool.

It will be painful for now, but we will get over it. Okada have been banned in Uyo and Calabar, everybody got used to it and improvised. The hospitals have confirmed significant reduction in accident victims by okada's recklessness, infact it's a zero case situation. I support the move, we Nigerians like threating ourselves like animals, what is killing us is always the things we ebraced at least let's embraced civilization for once and help the government succeed on this. I wish the goverment will also look into the number of children permitted by law for couples.
