Kano State Government Bans Motorcycle Passengers

I agree.

Mr Governor please why do you want to punish the masses a crime they did not commit? Increasing the clear and present high level of unemployment in a state is obviously not a security strategy but a countersecurity one since it will only lead to more poverty and the poorer the economic conditions of the masses the more susceptible to radicalization and recruitment by whatsoever entity they become. Since the goal is to contain and not to escalate the insecurity situation why not win the hearts of the masses thereby guaranteeing your government ownership of the streets instead of cracking down on the masses and radicalizing the streets. The predictable unintended consequences of this ban are worth considering please.

Compare nd contrast? U fuckin stupid, hw dare u try 2 interpret or xplain a quranic verse, wen actualy quote it not right. Go xplain 2 us 3NITY b4 xplanin other people believe.ISLAM MEANS AND PREACHES PEACE AND HARMONY. PROUD 2 BE A MUSLIM.

Re hit the nail on the head;
Well I don't think if u know what u are talking about cos if u truly know the religion u wouldn't have been talking like this, cos Islam is peace and enquire from pastors that can tell u the truth not selfish

how dare u ar to insult religion, those that ar doing all this, it is un islamic, theyre not true belivers, don't ever try to insult islam, or else........

D quran says "I have been ordered to fight the people until none has the right to be worshiped but Allah". That is Muh'd speeking. With this will you belief any pastor or whosoever that say Islam is peaceful?
U said Jews are witness that Islam is peaceful? How? Is it not Islam that is trying to eliminate them from d face of d earth?
If u are ashame of violence then Islam is no place for u. Look at muslim world; how many are living in peace?

Islam never encourages violence & ol forms of evils! Even d Jews can testify to dis. Meet any unbiased & sincere pastor u trust & ask him about Islam. So speak like a sensible & reasonable xtians or w/ever u'r!

Your insane, stupid, illiterate and dumb. How can you even say something like that. You should know what type of comment to make before commenting. Its you and your religion that has no feeling.

ur comment is a no comment; as it is meaningless. which one is more valuable; money or live?

Honestly d core north is in der ned of a true leader.d same peopl in d north whom der leadres hav failed 2educated ar d same peopl dat ar now destroyin d north.honestly d chicken has com hom 2roast. I rest my case!

The ban on motorcycle in Kano may be the right step in the right direction but what would remain the fate of millions who are gainfully employed through this means? what would remain also many state civil servants or other public officers who use it as their means of transportation to/fro home-office? i think the government should have a proper re-definition of the scope of the policy.

Honestly Akpos1 what is your problem? You are a northerner! A Hausa-Fulani by tribe!! Why claim SS & SE?!!! They dont even have enough landmass. Ok imagine tin of sardine or gesha... That is how they live now, not to talk of when they (sadly) become rejects and have no choice but to have their 'country'. By the way, did i mention they buy piece of land to be buried in with HUGE sums of money. Thats why their corpses stay more than one year or (as in recent trend) dumped in rivers for fish to eat.

Uuuhm... Did you opine 'band islam'? Aaaah Hello? Excuse me!!! Should'nt it be more like 'chritianity is not a religion'? As such 'it should be declared a hertic religion'?. If Vertican City, Greece, US of A, UK, France, Isreal, Germany, Russia, Japan... & all continents in the world you can think of dare not even have the thought, who the hell and devil are you to even nurse such puke. The true Islam is a religion created by Allah, a religion that believes is 'ONESS' of Allah which is believed His Prophets- Including Jesus (Prophet Isah)- and by true and good muslims. So shut your reeking mouth!!!

hmmmm govement ! govement !! govement !!! wht d u wht poor pple do. u u u u u u u govement u a terorist terestypyn nd hmmm Allh yasa talaka ya waye

banning achaba will not stop the insecurity in the country rather than provoking the masses as seeing government as an enemy of their progress, making wrong policies at the wrong time, which has direct impact to them.rather government should be wise to make a policy that seems against the rich people.

The genesis of Boko Haram:
(1).Donkey years of neglect by Northern governors
(2).Unprecendented corruption at local and state level empowered by the central government.
Solution
(a).Provide employement for those who are willing to work,that way security challenges would be effectively managed.
(b).Banning okada passenger is misplaced priority,a wild-goose chase

Nigerians lack leaders, not until we start to viciously deal with these syncophants the whole situation in the country will countinue to repeat itself. All because the Emir was attacked you now decide to show how active you are by terminating the livelyhood of millions of impoverished people, what if the terrorists had used car as they have done in the past, will they have banned the use of cars in the metropolis?, lack of focus, vision and direction will multiply the forces of poverty in the north that could trickle down to the south. Honestly NIGERIA NEEDS A TRUE REVOLUTION.

I sympathise with d good people of Kano state, especialy d family of d Emir for d unforeseen circumstances.
Honestly speaking, even though this may sound awkard but is a reality. Baning motor cycle is not d solution. Islam is d problem and it should b d one to b baned. So long as u practice that religion that has no human feeling violence shall b your first name.

The topic to this article leaves little to be desired. "Kano State government bans motorcycle passengers" Haba!!

Passengers or Motorcycle! or should that not be the other way round! Honestly, Sahareporters! surely, you could do better!

INNALIL-LAHI WA'INNA ILAIHIR RAJUUN !!! may ALLAH SW restore peace in our beloved state and nigeria at large.

Islamic fundamentalists or CAN fundamentalists? Aren't they CAN fake soldiers?

Islamic fundamentalists or CAN fundamentalists? Aren't they CAN fake soldiers?

I do not understand this banning of motorcycle "passengers"? Does it mean motorcycles can be seen but only with one rider....so how will that stop the menace if the gunmen can ride one motorcycle each to go do their business? But then, perhaps am not interpreting the article correctly?

When boko haram attacked and killed many at churches and relaxation joints it was not expedient to ban okada, but the emir kept arranging mass marriages for the wives of sect members who were casualties of JTF bullets or their own inefficiency in bomb making. Why do u ban okada bcos just one man who calls himself an emir has been attacked?

Dnt wori, the SS&SE is set to leave the west & north with their one Nigeria. Donkeys!

Long live the Unitd Republic of th SS&SE..

While sympathizing with the people and Government of Kano State on the spate of violence in Kano, how does the Government expect people to get around towork, places of business, schools etc without Achaba? What alternatives have been made? Na wa!!
