lagos State banning Keke and Okada in key parts of the state means they aint ready to save the state from the Traffic malaise.
Opay been saving Lagosians from undue Traffic since i can remember. I don't even know what even informed this decision — AURAâ¤ï¸COOL (@TWEETORACLE) January 27, 2020
Why will the Lagos state government have to ban okada and keke knowing fully well that they are the only alternative to use during traffic. The lagos government has failed Lagosians . They have remove food from people mouth and increase the rate of poverty and unemployment 😔😔😔
