Life Beyond Okada Riding: Why The North Must Hear Us If our greatest export to Lagos State as a region is Okada riders, then there is something to be worried about. The arrest of the Jigawa travellers is
If our greatest export to Lagos State as a region is Okada riders, then there is something to be worried about. The arrest of the Jigawa travellers is condemnable no doubt, but beyond that is the fundamental reality that the voyage to Lagos by these guys is embarrassing. Having a trailer load of young able-bodied men going to Lagos, not for anything artisan but to ride Okada, is not just appalling but an indictment.
That Lagos is an attraction to our people shows evidently that things are working there and that things are working indicates that some people were genuinely deliberate, in making Lagos work. These guys can actually remain in the north to till their land and become rich farmers instead of parading the city centres of our capitals. How could an able-bodied man leave his house to another land and be sleeping in mosques? Why leave your land to where you are less productive? The truth must be told, my Hausa folks loitering in other states of Nigeria need to be recalled back and sent to the farm. Farming is not a sentence to hardship but a license to self-sufficiency.
