In this episode, we take a look at one of Nigeria’s most persistent urban problems — the agbero phenomenon. From Lagos to Onitsha, Port Harcourt to Kano, agberos or touts have become a familiar and frustrating part of daily life, especially in and around motor parks and major markets.
But how did we get here? What exactly is the origin of the agbero culture, and why does it seem to thrive despite repeated government crackdowns?
We look at this national trend, and zero in on the Anambra State experience . What has worked, what hasn’t, and why does this menace persist? Who empowers these touts? What role do transport unions and politicians play? Can we ever truly dismantle the agbero system, or are we just managing symptoms of a deeper societal issue?
