OkadaBan: Nigerian celebrities react to Lagos govt’s Okada, Keke ban kekeban
Nigerian celebrities including comedian Seyi Law, singer Darey Art Alade, and Yoruba actors, Debbie Shokoya, Yomi Fabiyi, and Rotimi Salami, on Monday, shared diverse opinions on the matter.
Surprisingly, some Nigerian celebrities kept mum about the issue on social media, probably because they are not directly affected. “It is a very terrible thing. Do you know how many people Okada has created employment for? My fear is just that they don’t begin to attack us very soon,” he said. “Imagine when you have a flight to catch and the airport road is congested, we’ve had to jump bikes many times to beat traffic. As it is, traffic is going to get worse because there are going to be more cars on the road. They even said they’re bringing in more buses. To these bad roads? Selfish government!”He said, “I don’t want to comment about anything that has to do with the government right now, for some personal reasons. It is affecting everyone in a way or the other.
“But then, the bikes off the road are already giving us safer roads in terms of the lawlessness that we know that the bike riders practice. Riding with no helmets, riding dangerously and all those things. There are lots of positives and negatives from it.”
