'Okada' and Helmet

Motorcycle or 'Okada' as they are often referred to in the city of Lagos is one means of transportation preferred by majority because it's rather fast and doesn't get trapped in traffic like motor vehicles. It recently was mandated after series of attempts to regulate their operation by Lagos State Govt that all okada riders must use crash helmet.
It however became pertinent that for one to ride on a bike,one must use a bike giving birth to "Operation no Helmet,Get Arrested".I bragged at home not to use the helmet but things changed when this week i couldn't help the situation when all refused to take me if i wouldn't use the helmet.o boy! without much ado i had to jump before they do more than enough 'shakara'.
On the bike,i looked myself at the mirror to see how i look after using an handkerchief and the 'hard face-cap' called helmet with different types of helmets used by the riders,man i thought for a while and i was like a dispatch rider then i made it clear to myself i was more than that then it dawned on me 'i'm an engineer' as i presumed to be when i was pretty younger.The problem's just that,will it last long? and evil perpetrators will use it as an avenue to go about their plot.
