  • Excuse me! Is there a State without a Motorcycles? Wouldn't it be advisable creating a job for those bike riders, than taking them out of town?

  • @HardstyleBLAZER. You don't know what happening in the niger delta but you know that you make more 11 million niara per year. Poor brain, your job must be a terrible thing to the mind.

  • and you know about the crisis in the rebellious delta that built abuja?

  • driving around thousand of bike it can be very frustrating at times, although the service is good but the Bike driver can very be reckless and they cause alot of accidents, not only putting their life at risk but putting the massagers life at risk. After their introduction into Nigeria that was influence from bike user Togo, the growth has become unstoppable. They have also put Taxi out of business and bike are used in the act of stealing, are this issue considered from there criticism, NO!

  • suffice to say that nigeria is one giant sewer pit -nothing works

  • Spent some time in Abuja in 2005, a hotel worker who lived in one of the satellite towns where the rent is affordable, said the politicians have a mantra. 'Abuja only for the rich'. Everybody else has to be content with a day-pass. Economic apartheid.

  • you are being straight forward but hey maybe the guy didn't want his face up on the news so that's that.

  • The question is when are we going to find a leader for the people and not foe the few?

  • what is the city's side of the story?

  • Hello

    to keep it short - I would prefer the news was delivered not "enacted". If it is necessary to quote someone then merely voice over in English without the "accent" and/or captioned below the speaker.

    And, perhaps it was not appropriate for me use the words "tricks"...
