Taming the Keke menace MondayMotivaton
It is common knowledge and real-time experience that commercial motorcyclists, otherwise called “Keke Marwa”, have become a source of worry in society. When some states across Nigeria clamped down on motorcycles, popularly called “Okada”, for a number of unpleasant reasons such as recklessness, robberies, kidnapping, speeding and dangerous riding, many people had thought that there would be sanity on our roads.
Massive importation of tricycles encouraged more people to take to that line of self-employment by earning a living and boosting the economic life of many states. Before now, the common means of public transport in the major cities involved the use of taxis with commercial buses joining as the nation’s population shot up.
Sadly, tricycles have regrettably turned into a nightmare for road users. They have equally become prime sources of trauma to commuters and other motorists. They are now a terror on the roads through reckless speeding, disobeying traffic rules and dangerously meandering through every available space between vehicles on serious traffic situations and engaging in recklessness. I have seen on several occasions where tricycle riders struggle with vehicle owners on the road.
