SEUN KUTI CONDEMNS OKADA BAN IN LAGOS

Seun Kuti has spoken up against the ban on commercial motorcycles in Lagos.

Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has joined millions of Nigerians to condemn the move of the Lagos State government to ban commercial motorcyclists popularly known as Okada across the state.

The award-winning musician aired his opinions on his Instagram page on February 4, 2020. He made no attempt to conceal his displeasure at the reactions of Nigerians to the ban.

"Nigerian professionals have shown their true colors again as large

oppressors in waiting. Children dying in the hospital every day they don’t care. Miseducated and undereducated children they don’t care. Police brutality, no outrage but tell them to walk from bus stop to the office oh no the worst has happened!!!

If u wish for your children or loved ones to be Okada and Keke riders please raise up your hand! We know these ain’t jobs. We pacify those we have failed with slave labor and slave wages and we are ready to fight for them to continue slaving away!! #getthesax," he wrote.

It is no surprise that the Afrobeat musician who is taking after his father, Fela's steps both in music and activism have spoken on this issue. Known for his music with the Egypt 80 band, and activism, especially in matters affecting the nation, it was expected that he would contribute to the Lagos Okada ban issue which has sparked a lot of outrage in the state.
