  3. Ambode and the police should work towards making Lagos a crime free state. The rate of crime now is alarming.

  4. All these okada riders dont hear word. Do not ride on major roads. But when you come to CMS and co, see how they ride with impunity. Seems Ambode is slowly waking up from his slumber. He should keep it up though.

  12. These okada riders are a danger to themselves and other road users, they have no regards for traffic rules or safety. Good one Ambode.

  13. These are d ones they will hold na, the small ones, the ones with no help from above. When trailer drivers flaunted the rules ambode announced, were they arrested or were their vehicles impounded? Course not, cos dem dey fear face. But these okada riders will be d ones to suffer all.
