Wish life had a duplicate. Never reveal vital informations to even friends and to the extreme family except when they can be trusted. When it comes to money, be extra careful and don't be too careless. Guard your tongue. The world is evil and no one can truly be trusted. Imagine an idiot using money meant for a building project to carry women for fun of just 5hours maximum. It's a shame how even proceeds of crime are used for useless things by nonentities.

Men let themselves down.... they kill themselves and give the proceeds of the killing to women.

Shameless govt, so if uber and others didn’t think of this massive job creation business, how will it exist for lagos govt to be taxing them now.
African govts that cant think

Funny enough Bolt is from Estonia and uber is ask foreign. Nigeria seldom creates - always just takes.

The Lagos State Government had announced that it would begin enforcing regulations on ride hailing companies from August 20th. See previous thread here:

Lagos To Enforce Regulations On Ride Hailing Companies From August 20 
https://www.nairaland.com/6048683/lagos-enforce-regulations-ride-hailing#92722661

However, the announcement led to complaints from ride hailing companies and their passengers. The ride hailing companies had a meeting with the Lagos State Government at Lagos House, Marina and certain agreements were reached. This was made known by the chief press secretary to the Lagos State Government, Mr Gboyega Akosile.

Their children I.e. the children of the politicians take it that's why they have relaxed the requirements a bit; because their own children will suffer too

That's why nobody takes Sowore serious

He keeps malice, works for a profit, brings down other young revolutionary folks not in his camp and is very jealous. If you bo settle am na case

What is the issue with Dino opening accounts compared to all the atrocities being committed in Nigeria right now?

Nigerians get personal too quickly... face the law and the professional aspects and stop the personal aspects like "malice" and "jealous"

pls help me tell them o.....i don blame the foreigners at all....i remember talking to a friend of mine. Who is from india...he own a restaurant in victoria island...i was shocked about what he told me...

Pls what did he say?

At this rate,
Someday, a Chinese will be imposed by the International courts to be President over Nigeria and our politicians will do nothing about.

Lets continue looking at the other side while our greed and selfishness drives us to our collective end.

A Chinese president will be awesome!

stanley07efe:
I can certainly understand why this degree of physical and sexual abuse towards Nigerians on their own soil by our new colonial masters is shocking, the reality is that there is a history of both direct and indirect abuse by Chinese masters that provide desperately needed employment for Nigerians. Chinese companies in Nigeria are abusing Nigerians due to the consequences of the impact of a failed state and our best export "corruption". Chinese companies were granted consents to set up industries without regulatory and governing human rights laws, health and safety nor basic employment rights. The Federal and State Government officials does not monitor nor evaluate compliance because the personnel from the Ministries responsible for monitoring compliance have been compromised, the Chinese officials have bought these so called compliant officials, and in some cases these compliance units do not even exist. This situation is even worse in Edo State where the Chinese have set up glass and tile manufacturing industries where scores of young desperate Nigerians have died needlessly from industrial accidents and severe injuries. most of these desperate young Nigerians are unaware of their rights and they have been subjected to severe physical torture and abuse. The Chinese masters act like GOD like superior race and maltreat Nigerians that are seen as subhuman. Even disturbing is the fact that these Chinese companies acquire huge lands without adequate lease contracts that would add value to the environments where they are situated. They do not provide social infrastructure nor even tarred roads or energy, but they will handover used vehicles to the locals in exchange for endless acres of land and lease. As an unwanted foreigner in China you are not allowed to own land and your rights are limited, but in Nigeria we are being colonized with our young men abused and young women sexually exploited and abused. Enough is Enough Nigerians need to rise up and regain its independence from our new Masters, our Governments cannot enable this process because this would expose the nefarious alignments in high platforms. I am appealing to Nigerians with conscience to rise up and restore our indepence for those that are marginalized and have no stake in a country that has lost its soul

The Nigerians cannot lay rail tracks they called China. The Nigerians cannot build trains - they called China. The Nigerians have taken plenty Chinese loans. So regaining independebceis not by mouth it's by action. Over 70% of imports in Nigeria are from China so based on all of these - you are already dependent.

styless:
Nigeria is a funny country. Is the authorities not supposed to be working on his tip to unravel the mystery behind Boko Haram's sponsors. But instead they are forcing him to retract the statement...Nigeria is certainly the most corrupt country in the world.

They want him to retract the statement to preserve their EGO

omenka:
Nigerians generally arent responsible enough to bear arms.

You go see where person go shoot another person wey him girlfriend cheat with.

Ortom is a fool.

Well said

Amotolongbo:
And what is the real definition of responsible citizens?

Majority of Nigerian citizens have been rendered irresponsible by the actions and activities of our leaders. I’m afraid to say sanity has almost eluded us in Nigeria.

Let us use our police as case study, aren’t they responsible enough before joining the force and handed guns?
After being handed guns, can you see hpow responsible they are now?

Stop blaming leaders.... such a lame excuse.... blame urselves..

Anybody that commute through this route will know how crazy things really are...
This is a very narrow road compare to the volume of cars that run this road daily.
So any little thing will cause grid lock...
Now,na just some few potholes dey cause traffic on this road around 8 of them...I personally can afford to patch this road if I'm given approval by the government... it's not a big deal...yet we suffer on our way to work and back home...
The crazy thing is when people switch to one way...
Another Funny thing is Ibeju-lekki local government collect a monthly allocation of about 536 million naira ...and whoever the chairman is can't just bring out 1 million to savage this road...
Dangote mostly pass through this route at least 3 times a week...
The government officials will use sirens and take one way...
Let's forget about the big things.... just put gravel inside the pothole....
AND YES,IM READY TO PUT GRAVEL IN THOSE POTHOLES.... I JUST NEED APPROVAL...
THIS SUFFERING IS TOO MUCH.
Thinking about monday alone is crazy.... wetin be our offense...
My tax monthly is above 10k,yet I pay for toll gate and bad roads everywhere...no security....
Make dem just please put granite on this roads... please....
We don't even want coal tar.... just granite.... EJO,Biko,please....
This tear and wear on my body isn't good for my age...

You can get some police men as escort, hire workers who will go at 12 midnight or 3am to fix it?? A friend in Lagos suggested this....

THE TRUTH SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN BOLD.
EVEN THE NIGERIA ELITE DONT WANT TO EMPLOY NIGERIANS BUT PREFER TO STEAL THE MONEY AND PUT AWAY ABROAD IN SWITZERLAND.

CHINA IS INVESTING AND EMPLOYING THESE BLACKS, AFTER WE STOPPED THEM FROM BRINGING THEIR FELLOW CHINESE TO DO THE JOB AND THE BLACK MONKEYS ARE STILL COMPLAINING.

Well said..... never mind that the blacks can't even develop their country themselves. Germany us handling power, China rail and manufacturing, Israel - cocoa processing in akwaibom etc. The implication is the day these countries withdraw from Nigeria the country regresses back to shit hole status.

WE HAVE MORE HERE IN NIGERIA, WAT HAVE WE DONE?

Ayemileto:
Did you read the article at all?

Or you miss the place where they said Taxi Cab must be brand new, or within 3 years from the manufacture date.

How many people in Nigeria can afford a 2018 model car (3 years from production date) OR a brand new car? And how many of such people will go ahead to use it as Taxi?

If you ask me, someone is probably pulling all this strings. They probably want to pave way for a new Taxi service.

If it's someone behind the scenes orchestrating this, then it is a case of black Africans hating themselves by doing things that are detrimental to themselves...

THEY ARE THE REAL CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.



I THINK THEIR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AVERAGE BLACK PERSON BRAIN.


ALWAYS VERY QUICK TO PLAY RACE CARD, TRIBAL CARD AND CALL PEOPLE PAYING THEIR WAY FOREIGNERS.


LAZY PIECE OF SHITS.

I completely agree with you! The black man still has a very long way to go.....

dasparrow:
The Chinese treat Nigerian workers this way because Nigerians don't love each other and will look the other way while their fellow Nigerians are being maltreated by foreigners on their own soil.

I live in a country where a few Chinese people also own businesses but they dare not treat the citizens of the country I live in this way because the labour department and other government authorities will look into the matter and revoke the business license of that Chinese business.

Will a Chinese soldier in China agree to flog a Chinese employee if a Nigerian employer asked him to? No he won't. We Nigerians clearly hate each other so much that bloody foreigners living in Nigeria have picked up on it.

Why should the Chinese leave China to come and physically abuse you on your on ancestral land? Can the Chinese try this in America? Can they try it in Europe? Can they try it in Australia? Canada? Central America? South America? Middle East? Some other African countries like Rwanda or Kenya? No they can't!!!! They will be promptly deported or have their business license revoked and their business shut down.

These foreigners know that Nigerians have no rights even in their own country. They know that even Nigerian employers are abusive to their employees and get away with it so that is why these Chinese, Lebanese and Indian employers do the same.

If not that most Nigerians are docile and spinless, they ought to set that business on fire to send a strong message to other abusive Chinese employers that this type of nonsense will not be tolerated but Nigerians never speak with one voice so let them keep suffering.

Nigerians cannot do much. They have given you loans and they are building your railway- the Nigerians cannot build their railway themselves.... if the project was awarded to a Nigerian company the moni would be diverted and used to carry girls or the project would be executed poorly.

If Nigerians shout all these will be withdrawn!

Which people will fight back ? Nigerians are not known to fight back when pushed to the wall.What they do is to push themselves further into the wall until they are consumed .

What the Nigerians are known for is to take out their frustrations on other Nigerians thru kidnap etc

How many passengers have died using Uber and Taxify? But Danfos that kills passengers with their reckless driving and dead dilapidated moving coffins of a bus killing Lagosians every other week HAVE NOT been regulated. Life doesn't matter, na money matters ~ "Lagos State Agbero Government"

...

Coldie:
They pay tax though, even Facebook and Google Nigeria pay tax, maybe the government thinks they are not paying enough.

Even if they pay tax the demands they Are asking for is too much, I read up like 5permits from different organization as part of the requirements, the worst of it they said all cars must be 2017 and above. I don't get it

Its that spiritual curse upon Nigeria that makes them to always be enacting the wrong policies - it also explains why Nigeria is bedevilled by so many problems....

babajeje123:
This is wickedness of the highest order. Uber and bolt drivers couldn't work for months due to the pandemic, and now that things are getting normalised, the state government is coming with this BS. the most painful aspect of it is that the money they would raked in will be looted and not used for the masses. Lagos hasn't been bad as this Sanwo's tenure. The man is not in touch with the masses.

iamvictorbassey:
1. Firstly, these operatives storm environments and pick every fresh young looking guy, so there is high tendency that some of them are innocent.

2. I'm gradually learning how to remain silent on any issue that has to do with 9ja, because it's obvious our leaders aren't in any way our problem. We are the dull mothe.rfuckers. They only enjoy having se.x with us because we're collectively dull. They say when a beautiful girl has no "brain", her vagina must feel the "pain".

I see some of you here who don't understand the concept of "Cause and Effect" come on Nairaland to say "E go better" "Let's pray for our leaders", "Let's pray for Nigeria" and some other dumb statements. You think that's how developed countries were built? By dumb prayers?

I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist and trust me when I say crime in Nigeria has not started. Do you know how many unemployed youths there are? My mates be calling, "Boss, abeg anything for you boy" and I'm like Haba now me no be your boss o. I'm just privileged to have a lil platform. Even the small hustle I'm doing Tax and internal revenue want to kill somebody (Story for another day).

People are starving whereas "Person" is stealing "People's" money. And you expect these young ones to live on Oxygen? The bad precedence has already been set. THERE'S NO REWARD NOR PUNISHMENT IN NIGERIA The younger generation have already been indoctrinated to think that stealing is smart and wise. And who steals more is the real OG. The younger generation will be wiser, smarter and faster.

Believe me INTERNET CRIME HAS NOT EVEN STARTED.

Let's have a poll below to prove to you that those who want to be G boys are plentier than those already in it.

Angelfrost:
I won't even live in Lagos, if I can help it, least of all exposing my baby on wheels to all that savagery and madness!!!... No, thank you!

Exactly - there are better places to live in Nigeria than Lagos - but you will still need to come to Lagos for healthcare and international travel.

manos:
Note: it's a bit long... I could have summarized but I want those contributing to get a crystal clear picture of the situation, so that they can give better and specific advice.

The major problem here is that she mixes up things to be done in the kitchen with things done only in the toilet.

I have been married to my wife for over a year now (no kids yet) and there are certain unhygienic habits she has been displaying, since we started living together. I have been seeking ways to help her improve on it, but a calm correction from me always leads to a bitter argument between us. (She claims I complain too much whenever I point it out)

For example, she always clears her throat early in the morning and spits in the kitchen sink. (despite the fact that we have 2 toilets with wash hand basins; one in the room and also a guest toilet, with a wash-hand basin which is basically 3 steps from the kitchen). Then she goes to the bathroom, gets her toothbrush and comes back to the kitchen to brush her teeth, while doing several things with toothpaste and saliva drooling from her mouth all through.

The other day, she prepared breakfast (spaghetti) for both of us with the drooling toothpaste mouth and i refused to eat from it. I didn't complain to her either, until she asked why I didn't take my portion of the spaghetti from the pot, later that evening. I mentioned to her that, as always I find it disgusting to eat spaghetti, seasoned with toothpaste drool and saliva. The response I got from her was a hiss and then she said that, next time I should inform her if I am not going to eat the food she cooked so that she would not cook for me."

I let that slide but I felt she missed the point. The next day was her birthday and I decided to prepare breakfast for her.
While I was in the kitchen cooking, she came in with the same drooling toothpaste mouth to take a kitchen Scissors in order to cut something on her pants, even though we have another scissors in the room for such purposes. In the process of trying to pick the scissors, her hands which were covered with toothpaste drool had to cross the pot which I was cooking with. I mentioned to her that I was not comfortable with that and she just hissed as usual, still picked the Scissors and left the kitchen while angrily saying that I am just a complainer. I lost it at this point and proceeded to give her a lecture in anger about basic hygiene and why I can not keep quiet over these things because we live in a shared space and how her actions have a direct effect on me. It ended in a shouting match till she kept quiet, without accepting she was wrong.

This is the pattern almost everything takes when I try to correct her. The worst part is that I would still have to be the one to apologize for shouting at her because if I don't, I might be subjected to a week long silent treatment which I dread.

There are other more unhygienic things that are done by her, which I might not be able to post here due to the fact that I am not completely anonymous and she is still my wife but I hope this information is enough for someone to understand my frustration and profer a solution.

Pls don't go and start beating the woman because people said you are a "simp" to prove that you are not a simp!

UDUJ:
The boldfaced, I think you are even underestimating the true figure. It should be like 99.65%. Nigerians are very heartless,jealous,envious,dubious and evil minded people. It will do anyone well to keep their secrets and successes to themselves in this country and trust no one.

Very very true. Nigerians also get personal too quickly.
