you are not a smart individual, just because uber is registered with CAC does not mean they have license to operate in the transportation business

CAC does not come with a license, CAC is just for registration of business, it does not give licence operate in the transport business

this is what you do not understand, we have 36 states in Nigeria, each states with their law and licenses, with what is going on, each states can decide to make Uber collect license before they can operate in their states, that will be disastrous for uber

Mr/Mrs smart, what I mean by CAC is to show they are registered and can be brought to book, I never said they don't need whatsoever permit to stay afloat in transportation. An oil company has CAC does not mean they have the right to import petroleum products... The pathetic part about your smartness is you r shying away from questions begging for answers. Too many injustice in this land, but you didn't sign up to address that, what is your motive? That's my point


If you need me to refresh you with injustice in line with transportation, I'll do that for free, since transportation orderliness is your hobby.

when you start using red plate you will know the reality of being a commercial driver which you are.

we can as well go back and forth, abuse each other, it wont change the law nor change lagos state policies, the law is there for every one to read and see, it is public, any right and smart person can easily understand that.

Have a nice day, uber slave, and dont come bragging about the hell of money you have made on the platform and how you can feed me. grin

Silly ass dumbo, what is wrong with being a commercial driver? Who cares? Guess its bad, yet! Your colleagues get off work and can't feed on the meagre salary to hop behind danfo wheels, putting different shades of identification to break traffic rules... Like I told you, I don't find pleasure in material stuffs, I just live and try to do that which is right. You came in here as one of us, I fish you out, if you have problem with that, then your problem will b forever. Won't stoop low over the internet justifying who has more money or living a better life than the other, that's all spam. If you call me Uber slave? Uber must have been the one feeding me since inception, I must have made my first million using Uber #Odeson! Like we don't see u guys on the road, give me your name again, I need to check forbes.

1- Yes Yellow buses do have LAsdri because they are commercial buses
BIG LIE

2-It is not a crime to ride share but know they when you start to ride share your private car for cash, you have now commercialize it, if arrested when picking up passegers, you will be asked for permit to operate a commercial vehicle... drivers of commercial buses and taxis are also tax payers. Wrong - no law says u cannot pick and charge who enters your car. Pls if you have that law bring it forward. Note: every word has to be based on the law in the state



yes, people have been ride sharing before uber all over the world but they needed a permit to operate, even private taxi operators in lagos before uber needed a permit to operate. It was never the govt that went against people using their private cars but the taxi union - Govt has played that part of involvement in transportation to the road unions



Best approach will be for Uber and others to come clean and tell the government that they are taxi operators and get the necessary permit instead of claiming they are connecting people. all uber and others stubbornness and deceit will lead to the suffering of drivers on their platform, lagos government has leverage, uber are at their mercy no mattter what they print on paper. they will have to bow down to government at the end of the tussle.
Wrong approach again...that I develop an application that allows u ride-share doesnt make me a taxi service. We should embrace technology rather than find a way to roll the country backwards.

The self righteous mumu is just disgusting, how much is the permit? I don't think is what drivers can't afford. There is a diffrence between doing the right thing and trying to do the right thing, what he/she is doing is just trying to do the right thing in a shamble manner.

In the Lagos state traffic law... Commerical vehicle isnt defined as to what COMMERCIAL entails. Fashola enacted the law ... Ambode visited the law and added only driving options for motorcycles which should b 250cc above.

Laugh? undecided

Common bro. I can't laugh at the problems of someone's hustle na. That's inhumane.

Its painful seeing how the government is making life tough for the masses. Personally, i dont think the panic here brought the government's attention to this. Drivers here are like 4% of the drivers in Lagos(no jokes). If you spend some nights on Allen, or Northwest(when they were still allowing drivers to sleep there), you'll know what i'm talking about.

As for the situation, now would be a better time to lead a peaceful walk, not to Uber, but VIO's office at Alausa. Shebi Uber drivers are graduates? Una fit carry them go court first, make court stop the clampdown while you guys think of the next step (I don't know if this makes sense).

Uber has acknowledged that this is an issue. It would be weird to still live in self denial.

u share ride for cash, isnt what taxi business is all about

before the app, there was telephone and your smartphone, people order call taxi by calling taxis through their telephone and smart phone, the app is just the replacement of the telephone or calling by smartphone, the business is taxi business.

so operating a taxi business with an app doesnt make it another thing, it is still a taxi business

so what are taxi people doing, even though they are rough, arent they ride sharing

Sorry ma/sir

But why is the "clamping down" not on Uber and Bolt? Why is it the car owner?

In other countries that Uber was booted out, it was actually Uber that the government tackled, not the driver. Uber accreditates the driver, verifies him. Uber should be in charge of the license, not the driver.

So if I'm on my way to work in the morning and I have a passenger in my car, you will arrest me that I'm doing Uber without licence? Haha. How do you verify that? May God help you and your cohorts not to run into me. I blame the cowards that are afraid of nothing, to the point of running from LASTMA? Lol. Insane.

I have followed this argument keenly, even though you made few points but calling my brother that sort of name is disgusting .
Some high profile UBA Officials were disengaged some weeks ago. Well read, vast and well travelled amongst them also fell victim, he lives on my street at Ikosi ketu but because he wouldn't just sit and brood his life away, he's driving his Toyota Camry 2007 on Uber till fate smiles on him again.

I was off church street, I think. Waited bro. Time was of the essence. I hadn't even descended from third mainland bridge, going back to the Island when a request came in to Lekki. Been moving round the island since then until I got tired and went home. I just don't understand how it works on the mainland. I didn't even set destination at Gbagada, still, no request came.

All these your post about Uber.. You are not making sense at all .. You are equally as blind as the government. The Lagos government should have iron all these things before giving uber license to operate.. All I see here is nothing but extortion by few at the top.. If the government feels that Uber has broken the law or not complying than Lagos government should revoke their license instead of harassing people left and right.... So Vio will now be stopping any car that has a smart phone or Corolla or any cars that looks like uber ...instead of them sort out there issue with uber directly.. You have now become a reflection of the total disorganization of the state that governs you..

You now become part of the Banana Republic of Lagos State.. Instead of you to be objective by stating that the government should revoke uber license or should not have given uber license if certain requirements are not meant .. So what Vio are doing now is it effective at all?

1-Vio can arrest Uber drivers if they dont have the necessary permit like hackney permit, they are empowered by the law because it is the duty of VIO to check commercial drivers like uber driver and others for Hackney/stage carriage permit
2-LASTMA can check if you have expired driving license and impound your car ( Driving without Valid Vehicle License LCG-13 2 5, 000 Impound Vehicle)
3-Police can also check your drivers license and arrest you if you dont have any, they can also arrest you for breaking traffic laws and over speeding.

know your laws.

Says a paid agent.

Not until d ehailing apps came. Your principals never thought transportation could be this organised and less chaotic.
