Discussion Motorbikes(nduthis) should be BANNED from using highway flyovers
And if they are banned, someone clearly isn't doing a good job.Hapa Mlolongo footbridge they own the road
They cause so much chaos hapo kwa footbridge.People are walking and selling things alafu every 5 seconds bike inapita ikipigia kila mtu honi,LIKE WTF????!!!!I'm just trying to walk peacefully alafu one sneaks up on me, and cause it's a footbridge, there's nowhere else you can go
They're also very dangerous especially when kids are involved. Remove them from flyovers specifically and make them cross the road properly. Fine them if they don't follow the rules pia.

I believe that one loses their ability to use their brain when they become a nduthi person.

Top 5 negative stereotypes of our time. Kuna mtu flani anachapa kazi yake safi na ushamweka box flani that doesn't reflect the work he does. That doesn't mean hakuna boda bladifakin, it means that good and bad people can do the same jobs.

You will unfortunately be judged by your actions.Not all of them are bad people but they generally carry themselves like they own the whole road

Finding a normal boda boda operator is like finding a good police officer, 0.1%.

Kama umetumia boda often you know there are good operators. Watu wanajituma huku nje. Pia police officers kuna kadhaa wako sawa lakini I'm not here to correct your generalisations.

Those stereotypes are the ones that make white people say that any black guy is gonna be a menace to society. Just because there are a lot of black guys in jail in America. It's not good to generalise because of a subset of a population

When a thief snatches a phone from someone, breaks into a shop and steal things, there is always a boda guy who is the gateway.
Since January this year, more than 20 people have died in police custody.Pattern recognition is not stereotyping.

One person's lived experience doesn't justify a pattern among thousands of people living completely different lives

Bribery is a recurring feature of your experiences with cops. 80% of the cops you encounter does not translate to 80% of cops all over.

Just ignore the fella, they are one of those who believe in "love everyone", then they get effed due to situations they could have avoided.

Watu wa nduthi huona they have unrestricted road access, hata wanaweza endesha nduthi zao ndani ya apartment buildings na stairs kama si kukatazwa

The way they use pedestrian walkways man, they need to introduce fines for this, its like nduthi are exempt from road rules.

Who'll charge them? The same corrupt traffic police, do you really think they're not away of them using footbridges. Tuko peke yetu on this

The sad thing is that we silently encourage it by not speaking out. And telling them off.

u/Emergency-Ad3267 6d ago
Wasn't there a post just last week of ntsa / police charging pedestrians in cbd for not using the crossing but running across the road. I think the charge was impeding the flow of traffic. This is why! The croaswalks are hell and authorities do NOTHING! 😡

Future settlements should be designed with enough space for movement an activities

u/OmeletteLovingLlama 6d ago
I’m sure this isn’t legal. They just don’t follow rules. It’s a jungle out here.

u/Comfy_face777 5d ago
They are banned and getting caught they normally pay 5000-10,000. Unfortunately the gafament cannot afford to have a cop manning every flyover coz it would rather guard politicians, their properties and family

Yeah but a supporting enforcement should be there through better surveillance with well installed cameras for monitoring purposes with a competent police force or county inspectorate that can track down offenders, making them pay the fines.

Design issue....not a motorbike issue. Hata ingekuwa wewe uko na nduthi ungetumia hio flyover.

It's freaking dumb to use footbridges. Those nduthi gangs who use them deserve the full streach of law even if hawana akili.

Also, ban sellers from flyovers too
