Lagos 'Okada' riders (or should I say former 'Okada' riders) have now learnt one of life's valuable lessons - never bank on promises. Especially when they're made by politicians, it is common sense to thread carefully or risk being disappointed.
2015 is another election year in Nigeria and we're going to have politicians pledging the world in exchange for our votes. My 'life-saving' advise: learn from Lagos 'Okada' riders and do not forget their treatment in the hands of Governor Fashola.
If you are slack in memory, take a very long look at the picture above. If need be, print and staple it where it can forever serve as a reminder that with politicians, promises are empty words and those who rely on them always end up heartbroken.
Disclaimer: I am not implying that Governor Fashola made any promises to the 'Okada' riders during his re-election (if any exist, I'm not aware of it), but the act of riding to victory partly on their support and coming a year after to ban them is questionable.
