She has sent the money. Thanks guys! Your individual effort is well appreciated.

northbird:
You assertion is not totally correct. Bolt n Uber run a concession kind of service I.e they get a cut from every ride they link up.

They don't care how many drivers share whatever is left on the table . as long as their remittances are secured they are good.

Take a scenario.

There are 5000 drivers on platform A. They pull in #10,000,000.
Platform takes #2,000,000.

Let's assume drivers share equally ( this is not often the case as some drivers will earn more than d other but for d sake of illustration.

Each driver takes #1,600 home.

There are 8000 drivers now. They pull in #14,000,000.
Platform takes #2,800,000.
Each driver takes #1,400 home.

In reality, there was an increased revenue. But there was no trickle down effect to d individual drivers.

But here is d catch,the e companies are not drastically affected in terms of earnings simply because, they take a cut of whatever comes into the pool.

All they need to increase their REVENUE pool is to bring in more drivers.

The kind of earnings drivers made in 2015 is not what is reflecting in 2019.

Yes, you could argue that there are still some top earners, but those ( drivers) are outliers, they do not represent the drivers in the mainstream.

Take it from me, the fares will not go up. Not in the immediate future.

Buhari faults clampdown on Boko Haram members
June 2, 2013

Former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari has faulted the federal government’s clampdown on Boko Haram Islamic insurgents.

He accused the government of killing and destroying their houses while the Niger Delta militants were given special treatment by the government.
Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week monitored in Kaduna also admitted that the road to the registration of the All Progressive Congress (APC) was rough, pointing out that the promoters of the party were well prepared for any hitch that may arise.
Buhari who first spoke in Hausa before the English version accused politicians from the Niger Delta region of starting the current in security in the country by recruiting and arming youths of the region in their desperate attempt to retain power as governors.

The former Nigerian leader said that unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by government.
While accusing President Jonathan of failing from the beginning to address the security situation in the country, Buhari said he has never been in support of the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa state.
According to Buhari “what is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. Every Nigerian that is familiar with what is happening knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all.

“What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections. So they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force.
“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns; the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped.

“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about 500 dollars in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month, that is if he is lucky to get employment.

“So kidnapping becomes very rampant in the South -South and the South -East. They kidnapped people and were collecting money.
“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.
“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.

“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today. You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.
“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished. They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.

MrTruth4real:
We have defeated Boko Haram tactically, even knows this.

Firefire:
I am really worried about the increasing death toll...

Buhari said: “If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (now March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”

helinues:
Good news oo

Parlee:
BOLT has to be the most fraudulent e hailing business in the country, dont even intend on going into further explanation you are free to think what you want. Uber is way better than any other e hailing app only messed up thing is they are exploiting the drivers with cheap fares hence cheap labour. Dont even understand why drivers here waste their time with any of their fraudulent campaigns abi is it their fraudulent rating system.

overdrive:
I wonder what is making him to laugh out loud.

Racoon:
What are the criteria for this assessment by TI? Well, a fact remains that despite the hyping & self glorification by the hypocritical govt cum its loopsided anti-corruption lapdogs(ICPC, EFCC), Nigeria have made no improvement in the anti graft war.
