Why is Uber hiding their database

Give access to state government for security of passengers and that of drivers.

Also, I suspect the LASG may be interested in bringing these drivers into their tax net...this may be seen as a bad one..but it's a good one. Everyone earning should pay tax.

Don't fool yourself, I watch how excited you get when people suffer. You disguise you comments to make it look you are patriot which obviously you are not. You support evil dished out by leaders on their people, Indicating you been under the influence of a demon associated with death and suffering. You are too blind to see the front of your nose, REPENT before this dark force consumes your soul. It's stamped in time darkness can never ever overcome light, choose life and avoid destruction.

Okay.

Is it your pastor or herbalist that told you I am the one behind what others are going through?

Which cities are you talking about hope you are not referring to America because you always compare when you want to fleece the people but when it's time to do what other countries like America do in terms of welfare and good roads, security,shelter, electricity... payment of welfare for senior citizens above 60 years old ...you will never see them doing that

And where will the fund to meet all the welfare packages you listed come from?

If America don't get adequate data how do they become a multi trillion dollar economy to be able to do all those social welfare packages.

We have to be objective sometimes if we want the best for our country.
Really, what is so difficult in providing data?

Don't deceive yourself, your excitement and support of evil against God's children is even known to a blind man. I am saying Jesus loves you, change your ways. This message will come as a joke now, but it's not. You need spiritual eyes to see that some behavior you see as normal isn't normal in any form.

I throway salute for Lagos State Government.
Seriously Lagos-state is far ahead of other subnationals in Nigeria.
I believe this move by the government is simply a way to protect the citizens of the state. For those who don't understand the story but simply like to criticize the actions of government,I believe I can break it down for you.
All the government is doing is simply trying to have a database of all registered drivers on the Uber and Moore,the API is the back end where all the information is stored,by accessing it, Government can easily trace any driver who commits a crime without having to go the company.
It's simply killing a bird with One very big stone,I believe the company is trying to protect its database but if there's a law that requires it to provide the database of all its drivers,it's better it complies or disengages from operating in the state.
I sympathize with all the drivers whose vehicles have been seized,but bolt and Moore should do the needful instead of putting their drivers through such a traumatic experience.
God bless Lagos State
God bless Nigeria........

Stop explaining nonsense. Lagos state government is doing this for tax purposes and not for any security reasons. The idea of seizing driver's vehicles is not only draconian it is criminal. Uber drivers are not staffs of Uber, they simply use their app to run their business, so why hold them responsible for Uber's so called wrong doing. It just like going to confiscate a seller's goods because Jumia or Jiji is having issue with government.

You guys are just so quick to defend rubbish.

By the way, it is not best practice for government to have access to the database of a private company if you are not investigating the company for a criminal breach. The normal practice in sane climes is to reach out to the company to provide you information on the particular driver you are investigating if that driver has committed a crime. If the company refuses to provide you that information, then you can sue the company for obstruction of a criminal investigation. That is how it is done and not by having a free ride on the company's database.

Uber drivers have been paying tax from each trips...the issue is this people don't use the taxes judiciously that's why you see so many bad road's and abandoned road projects everywhere and also insecurity caused by the hoodlums and area boys enjoying the patronage of Lagos State

The ones they have been getting as taxes from Uber and other sectors if they have been judiciously spent believe me you would never see any bad road, uncompleted and abandoned roads in Lagos.....this means that the revenues are not used for what they are meant for

Providing data is more like a security risk because the Lagos State can't be trusted....it could lead to sabotaging their operations

How I wish you can see the benefit of this initiative rather than rushing to make apt comment. Access to database could also help to detect some kidnappers disguising as Uber driver.
And the best way to go about it is to order for rides and seize the cars? How would you feel if FG seizes your phone because they have issues with MTN?

This government is daft sincerely, so, impounding people's cars is what will make Uber comply to their request, what happens to facing Uber directly, I believe they have management in Lagos, what happens to sending invitation letter to them.


Very stupid and daft government, is it Uber that bought cars for the drivers, even if they impound half of Uber users car, if Uber doesn't want to grant access, they won't still and you will only be making things difficult for people using the platform to survive...

At this point, I won't blame anyone that indulges in any crime to make a living coz the few that have conscience and making a legit living are being frustrated by this so useless government that can't provide jobs.

To me, thus is a very wrong way to go about it, on the part if LASG.

Instead of increasing the travails of the hapless drivers, they should temporarily suspend the app's license, thereby rendering the app unusable until they comply with the LASG laws.

But, impounding innocent people's vehicles an deflating their tyres, amounts to a gross misconduct, to be honest.

Now these drivers are being denied their means of livelihoods. I think they should organise themselves together and make a case for their predicament.

But who should they sue between Uber and Lagos state government for compensation for the lost working days and revenue they are losing? tongue tongue tongue
