okada is back to lagos btw. Gomax, gokada are all around. A rich man will always steal buy and innovate a poor man’s business. Now okada owners are riders under these platform.

The funny thing is they are 100% of not getting treated in Germany (like the biker son of our president) and about 70% or 80% sure of not getting immediate treatment in their locality, if an accident occurs.

It is just common sense such things like skating with shoes or a board should be done in special courts/grounds or residential areas with very good roads and make they are on the pedestrain lanes while at it.

thank you for seeing it this manner. Some people are even wishing accidents instead of advocating a good environment to breed these talents, make money from them.

Please expand ...especially on the talent part. What they are doing is not safe, should provisions be made to ensure safety yes I agree but in a country in deep recession a skate park is not a priority and secondly that will not stop people skating on busy main roads.

Road skating is an actual form of skating sports. Skating on the busy road like ours is risky for everyone. That doesn't mean it should be regarded as a menace. We just need organization. Its a sport and a means of transportation in some climes.

It’s actually illegal to skate on public roads in the west. Giving it a definition of sport does not mean it should be done without due care.

I agree its dangerous on the busy road. I'm not supporting that. I'm just saying that it's still in its raw form in the country, so calling it a menace might spur indictment which may ultimately get it banned. They can come in as useful if given a platform. Skaters are usually employed by delivery firms as standby during a heavy traffic. Plus other emergency uses. Don't let me get started on the sport aspect.

Mchewww, and you couldn't give the number of people that have died skating. U just want to stop them for what exactly... Do u know how many road accidents we get on daily basis? Why have u not advocated that the use of cars should be stopped.
In a country where survival is hard and everyone is frying their best to make something out of nothing.. U are just beefing for no reason exactly.
Some of these youths use this to share flyers, run errands from which they make a living... U are calling it a menace because u don't like it.
Guy go rest.

Employed by delivery firms because it’s convenient but at what cost?
Figure skating and roller blading as sports are done in arenas far from fast cars.

Lol.. Nigeria as a country has many flaws when it comes to safety not just on the road. But then in my opinion there should be an association that creates skating awareness, ensuring skaters always put on the right and complete kits b4 hitting the road as well as restricting thier activities to less busy roads. That will help to some extent. They can even set up an annual competition/entertainment package, pick a location and invite members of the public to come and see them perform. Have u heard of Dark Knight motorsports in Abj??

Thank God you mentioned 'as sports'. Definitely every sport has an arena. Cars have their own sport too but is every car a sport car. And do people drive just for sport?

I don't think you're getting my point so I'll give it to you.

Stop hating on these skaters....Just pray it can be turned into a means of livelihood.

Don't people play football on the streets and smash car windows.

Roller Skating, skateboarding, scooters, on the road is normal in any civilized country.

Stop hoping that cars will run them over.

Na typical woman behavior be that. It's simple what you have been trying to let her know. But pride and ITK would never let her bulge. Her type would make a bad marriage she just doesn't want to lose this argument no matter what sense you make So myopic set of people. Kudos for schooling her. The country needs positive thinking heads like urs. I could relate to everything you said up there. Danke!
