It affects transportation. If you don't use their services, do not think others don't.

So many persons depend on them for their day to day transport. Many do not have the luxurygrin to go outside and start looking for a taxi. Even at that their rates are lower than rates of taxis picked at random from our roads.

The whole of the month of May, I used bolt for my day to day movement and it was effortless.

I guess to you, people like me are not Nigerians.

If the strike prolong , it will affect tax income of state government.
The data usage will be reduced hence it will reduce income of telecommunication. This translate to tax payment reduction to government from telecom.
It also affects movement of citizen which make life more difficult for people.
NOTE: They are not protesting subsidy removal. Their agigation based on
1. Reduction in bolt commission from 25℅ to 10%
2.Bolt or uber should review the charges to reflect the increament in oil prices.
3. 5% bonus to riders
These are the major demand from e -hailing apps
They are not against government subsidy removal they infact want government to come into their aids about these e-hailing apps to do the needful

the strike is not against the govt by the apps ...so the intention of the strike is not to affect Nigerians bt the companies. And yes it will affect some Nigerians that rely on their services.

You and you kind will be the one to suffer more, the effect of subsidy remover haven't started yet, when it starts you will see that the country will be unbearable for people like you, just sit tight and watch what will happen in the next few months to come. It is only a senseless government that will take such action without putting things in place. If you guys are wise, you should have demanded that the government should put the refineries in order, all you do is to attack anybody against Tinubu action just because he is from your side.

What is the essence of their strike when it can never affect Nigerians?? Tell me pls
Let me put it into perspective for you if you don't understand.

Let's presume as a bolt/uber driver you make 15k. Inside that money bolt take 3k as commission, while the remaining 12k you minus 3k for fuel and maintenance gulp 5k, leaving you with 4k as take home, now petrol has almost been tripled, consequently biting into your take home and leaving you struggling to be in businesses. Now, what the e-hailing companies increased is about 80% of the around 340% pms was increased, while maintaining the same commission rate.

What the protesters are simply saying is either the company adjust the tfare to commensurate with deficit they're suffering or the companies reduce their commission to help shoulder the deficit they're suffering.

I'm 100% certain that you here yapping can never be in a business where you wake up everyday to go to work and at the end of the month you make no profit, instead you're borrowing to sustain the business. That's what is happening and why they're protesting.
As for your question; I believe the drivers were not shipped from Congo nor their passengers, so, it's an inconsequential question.

This comment and mentality is why Nigeria and Africa is not progressing, lack of love and empathy. Selfishness and wickedness. So you don't feel their pain at all?
