This write-up focuses on the categories of okada men you will see in Nigeria
Before you castigate me, please note that I’m not an Okada man neither am I into okada business. I rep Chevron.
10 Categories Of Okada Men You Will See At Every Junction
1. The Perverts
These categories of okada riders are flirts. While moving on high speed, they unnecessarily pull the break every now and then without any gallop . This is done just to feel the Boo.bs of their female passenger. Some of them will even go as far as lifting their
seats.
2. The History Tellers
These ones often discuss with you the challenges and trials they are facing as okada riders which is attributed to bad leadership, corrupt and self-centred politicians who often embezzle public funds which has prevented them from keeping the roads in good and healthy condition. However, they will further stress that they are hoping Buhari’s administration will do the needful
3. The Money Doublers
If these ones don see you with babe, na so dem go double the fare. Let’s assume the normal fare is N50, the moment they see you standing at the junction with a lady, they know you are most likely to pay for her fare, hence, they will double the fare because they know that most guys will shamefully not beat down the price.
One day, na so I escort my babe go my junction, as I waved to this okada man, he smiled just as Buhari did when Jega announced the final election result which was an indication that the election result would definitely send GEJ back to Otu Oke. He stopped and the following conversation ensued
Me- Oga how much ?
Okada man- Shey na only her abi na two of una ?
Me- Na only her na
Okada man- Bros na N200 ooooo
Me- You dey craze. Wetin we dey enter N50.. Abeg commot for here. Go tell that to Dangote
4. The Ones Without Head Lamps
Their okadas have no head lamps at night. If pedestrians are not careful, they might be knocked down. Some even have head lamp but you will see it facing the sky. I have even seen cases when an okada man put a torch light in his mouth at night just to illuminate his path
5. The Risk Takers
These ones take more risk than successful entrepreneur like Dangote. They calculatively overtake and compete with trailers, danfos, vans and BRT on the expressway. Sometimes, they ride expertly that they may throw their two hands into their pockets, look back at the exhaust every now and then, open the full tank and will check the gauge at high speed. If you tell them “oga abeg small small ooooo”, they will reply “calm down bros, no be today I don dey ride okada now”
