mekaboy: no be Nigeria again? how will dey know who drove 8 hrs straight?

if I have a bus and have 2 drivers and conductors. one team works for 8hrs and hands over to the next for the next shift. will they arrest those working the second shift?

I know the main aim behind this is the money they will get from registration.

mekaboy: just like they said pple should stop building houses on weekends. its houses built on weekends that collapse.

geeez: The ubiquitous danfo buses are very obnoxious and they are mostly an eyesore and epitomize recklessness

Government should let bus owners form cooperatives and invest in BRT buses

LAMATA should thereafter be responsible for ensuring only buses that meet a minimum requirement in terms of functionality and aesthetics are allowed to ply the roads

By now, Lagos, Ogun or Oyo State should have partnered with the bus manufacturers and invested in the construction of assembly plants and source some parts locally

Why wont they patronize innoson?

What is Innoson?

Assembled Chinese cars rebranded

If Enugu government isn't patronizing them, why should Yoruba governments

Mynd_44: Okay calm down....this is a good idea cos when fatigue sets in, they turn to stimulants and alcohol but how will they implement it?

naptu2:

It's possible, through registration. Each driver and conductor will be registered, right? (I also hear that they'll wear uniforms). So their shift will be indicated on their registration card. Anybody working outside their shift will be prosecuted.

It'll work if they use the method above, but it'll also raise questions like, what happens on "unusual days" when the driver has to vary his schedule because he has to tend to someone who is ill, or other such unusual circumstances.

mekaboy:

so how do they know when the 8hrs is due? assuming the driver starts by 1 then 8 is due time. what if he starts work late that day around 5?

then u will see drivers having multiple uniforms. someone will wear uniform with another persons id and the other person will be caught.

you will even see latsma taking bribe to allow pple with fake uniforms to work.

its just all about money, the cant maintain the policy. since they cant ban danfor, let them make money from them.

Why wont they patronize innoson?

CyberG:

They will patronize whoever brings the biggest value to their states and people! The US (and other progressive states) did not just patronize companies in the US (their own country) when there were more competitive options in China and other countries. If Innoson is so competitive and provides the best bang for the buck, any state even foreign countries will patronize it. If the government of the state in which it pays taxes, hires people and in which it sited its operations do not buy its products exclusively, then it means something is not competitive or not right with it. You cannot shift any requirements to the Yoruba South West by any means because last time I checked, there are far bigger conglomerates in automobile sales, service and manufacturing in the SW than in the SE: CFAO (Molade Okoya Thomas), Elizade, Leyland, etc (all owned and in the South West).

CyberG:

Well, no need to be pessimistic because you worry that order can not be introduced into any system! It can, the whiteman introduced order, Nigeria had some form of order in Buhari's time and there surely was a lot of orderliness in the days of Chief Awolowo as Premier of the Western Region. Poverty and lack of good example has created in your mind and most Nigerians that things can not work in an orderly fashion in Nigeria but it will and in the South West, there will be order at any price! In the worst case scenario, people who cannot live within laws and order can move to any of the other states outside the South West.

theoctopus:

Non of the companies you mentioned assemble or manufacture cars like innosson. They are just importers

mekaboy:

order can not be introduced when those meant to enforce the order r currupt and orderless themselves.

CyberG:

Who are the corrupt in this case? Maybe at the FG level, there can be no order because GEJ is currently harbouring corrupt persons like Oduah, Maduekwe, Iweala, etc in his government or some of the PDP states where there is nothing on ground that the people can even see as any evidence of an existing government. While the Lagos and SW states still have a long way to go, there is no part of the country doing as well as any of those states and it is very possible that there is corruption among some of their officials. However, how can anyone blame them since they don't even have the powers to prosecute and fight corruption: EFCC and Police are controlled by GEJ under whom corruption is now a runaway phenomenon!

mekaboy:

LASTMA, Omonile etc. All the agboro groups.

CyberG:

If the Police (the prime example of order under the FG GEJ) is corrupt, can you blame LASTMA? No system is perfect and I don't think there is need to throw the baby out with the water, I hope LASTMA gets better. Rome was not built in a day. Omonile cannot be corrupt, they own the land on which you walk but are not give 13% derivation like oil producing companies. If you people will support and fight for regionalism, you can be sure that you will never have to worry about Omonile anymore because we can all truly occupy our resources!
