Lagos is one hectic city; it is crowded but you eventually have to visit it one way or another! So it is safe to say Lagos is the bustling city of Nigeria. For every anomaly that exists in the city, something equally good always comes out of it. One of such anomalies, which every Lagosian dreads but has a hard time avoiding, is the phenomenon known as traffic congestion. There was once a time when “beating the traffic” used to be a thing, but now Lagos traffic is no respecter of time, place, or schedule. In the past, one of the ways Lagosians would overcome this dilemma was to hop on a 100cc motorcycle popularly known as “Okada” in order to meet up on a meeting or event? However, this eventually became a thing of the past following the ban of “Okadas” on major highways by erstwhile Governor Fashola. Fortunately, more ideas and innovations are emerging to bring some comfort to commuters around Lagos. An app known as MAX Okada has set out to bring commercial motorcycle transportation to the highways once again. MAX Okada is well within its rights as the Lagos state ban does not apply to bikes within the range of 200cc (and above) which MAX.NG offers. MAX.NG is a flagship of Metro African Express, an urban logistics company launched by Chinedu Azodoh and Adetayo Bamiduro in 2015.
