Uber will simply shutdown operations in Lagos is problem is too much. Didnt the drivers know what they signed up for when they signed up for it? Or what stops them from doing their private taxi work without uber. Uber connects them to riders easily. Otherwise the drivers wont use the app. 4 Likes |

I really don't think it necessary to protest, they should have invited the Uber guys on a negotiation table to discuss the 25% commission. The Uber that I know shouldn't be a full time job. 4 Likes 1 Share |

stupid move. yhur using a companies idea, platform to run yhur business, of cause they define the terms. instead of embarking on stupid strike n senseless riot, can't they just pool their resources together hire a programmer and build their own network/platform. the uber app is nothing more than a database, GPS,profile and rating plus back end web and notification. 1 million tops for a very very good app. 800k a very good. 500k to 300k just basic . if them go pay I can build it for them,ideas rule the world, taxe drivers form associations, the uber platform is nothing more than that. 13 Likes 1 Share |

The quality of cars and drivers on the uber platform has reduced drastically. I don't fancy the system anymore. I prefer to pay higher for a better car and a polished driver instead of the cabu-cabus and touts we see now on the platform. Suggestions: 1. Uber should cut their commission to 15%. 2. Introduce another tier of cars for people like me, and charge slightly higher - say cars from 2010 & above. These ones usually have more polished drivers too. 3. Prospective drivers should definitely be verified and scrutinized before being approved. 6 Likes |

So, if all of them are in harmony like this, a little more effort to create their own platform and make it popular and work is gonna be cool for them all. But as Nigerians nau, expect to always see part 2 of everything. |

I joined uber as a partner and a driver on their platform after I lost my banking job last year February. Some Uber drivers/partners are highly qualified Nigerians who lost their jobs and decided to drive their own cars to make a living. You would be shocked at some of their qualifications. After the fuel price hike, uber refused to increase fares citing a potential loss of patronage. We managed and groan under high maintenace cost including but not limited to fueling, servicing, plugs, tires, breakpads etc. Last Thursday uber slashed prices by 40% and left their percentage unchanged at 25% of whatever revenue we generate. Running expenses remains the same but revenue dropped drastically. Even the promised palliatives/incentive will also be charged 25%. Imagine a driver who rents a car at 40/45k weekly. How much can you generate to fuel the car? Pay car owners Fuelling Cash wash daily, atimes twice a day Data Call credit Tolling charges Feeding Tire patching/inflation etc. This is slavery and wickedness. How come every country uber operates they always seem to generate controversies. 7 Likes |
