If a man can increase Lagos IGR by over 200% in 8 years, he can do the same to our foreign reserves at Federal level. If you think otherwise, present someone with a better record.

Cheers

You know the problem I have with you and your oga at the top? You say he increased lagos IGR, fine (even if it was via the over taxation of its residents) and he can do the same for the whole of Nigeria as its president abi? Good and I agree with that statement.

But this your talk of presenting someone with a better record . . . Hmm, have you not ever thought of the scenario whereby your oga finally increases this IGR you guys harp on about so much (via the ongoing excruciating taxation and suffering of the whole country's citizens) for his whole 4 year tenure only for the whole IGR to be LOOTED at the end of the day either by him or his other political croonies?

I mean . . . It happened in this same lagos that he built didn't it? What (or who) stops him from doing it again? Last time it was just lagos funds, now he's sitting on the entire federal reserves

You're speaking of better candidates who can increase IGR meanwhile our country is (and has always been) burdened and choked by greedy politicians who don't have an atom of patriotism in their characters. You opened your eyes, saw tinubu and voted for him to over tax and suffer all of us, just so that the country can generate plenty more money and then you want us to HOPE that all these monies eventually realized wouldn't get siphoned back into his personal offshore accounts?

See let me tell you agbadorians something simple that I'm surprised you lot don't yet realize, our problem in nigeria isn't really about money or the lack of it, it has never been . . . our problem is ENDEMIC CORRUPTION and at this particular time in our country's seemingly 'shaky' existence we needed to have a leader who at least has an atom of patriotism and has in the past (at one time or the other) exhibited certain personalities/traits of being averse to wastage in the running of a government.

Under tinubu (and his ongoing draconian policies) will the country's IGR increase after his first tenure? Yes, I believe there's an 80% probability of this happening.

BUT

Under this same tinubu, will the eventually realized increases in the nations reserves be channeled into proper national building projects or get siphoned into various politicians personal accounts via the hidden conduit pipes in our banking system? Yes, I believe there's a 101% probability of this exact scenario coming to pass.

Why should Nigerians suffer for these good things finally be able to come to pass under a leader like tinubu? I mean, why will you open your eyes and knowingly give a big giant black rat your grilled fish to hold in safe keeping while you go to the farm to dig out your tubers of yam?

You want monkey to work and baboon to chop abi? No wahala. Na all of us don turn monkey finally. We go see who go first fall from the top of iroko tree while swinging because of hunger.

Na here we dey

Please, I need help o. Anybody that can assist me to fill my tank

Please I need to buy fuel to work.

Abeg

Ejooo.

Please clarify the exact type of tank that you're asking for help in filling . . .

Is it the usual 'geepee' tank we keep in our backyards and rooftops or another type of tank that you feel all of us here should know about and help people fill from time to time?

I feel its better you clarify your request so we can easily know if its The Grace you really need and we can easily direct you to where you will receive it in abundance

I attended all Tinubu's campaign in Lagos and Ogun state even the one in Lagos where he said go and get your APV, I was there live. The picture you attached initially showed that Tinubu as president of Nigeria stated that fuel will sell for N100 from August ending. I told you that picture is an excerpt from a debate video during campaign, he wasn't even the president yet. I told you it's a propaganda picture and you should stop sharing propaganda.

Stick to the issues, if you can prove that Tinubu said Fuel will sell for N100 naira from August ending, I am ready to part away with my $500. If not, hold your peace.

Edit: I even attended the youth rally in Abuja, the rally was collapsed and settled for a mini concert.

I hereby knight you Sir. DonBie of the Uber-Agbadorian Special Forces

BAZ001:
Thank you very much at least now we know you an APC online agent, ore Seyi Tinubu , paid to be cyber bullying and countering anything about Tinubu online.

Help us tell them to focus on economy now that Supreme Court has validated him as elected president.

Nigerians are hungry

Shebi you see why I said I will drag him here. I knew he was chewing agbado right from last year when he didn't want to allow us hear word on this thread now he has chewed and chewed and finally reached the cub, yet him no wan gree throway the chaff

All these beacuse I pulled down your skirt and exposed you to the core? Lolz. I chose not to reply you initially because you have long become a broken record on this thread. You set the ball rolling for your own down fall. You came in here like a bull that can't be touched. Without remorse, I'm happy I turned you to noodles including plastering this thread with your ugly face for being such a pathetic cheerleader Only if you minded your business from the onset.

You were taught a life lesson. Learn from it and move on.

Ogbeni, whatever fantasy you cook up in your head that is able to finally make you sleep at night

na you sabi

Blackbishop:
He won’t stop his pointless arguments. Bro wait he will comeback with another brainless jargons.

Of course i know he will still come out to post thrash soon, i dey wait am. I was just looking at you engaging that troll before. It's better you leave him and his quotes or mentions. You can't achieve anything from him intellectualy or otherwise. He isn't here to help anybody in any way but to destroy whatever was built here. Can you count how many people he has attacked and abused here? He has even already turned around to attack the ones that first cheered him on when his madness started manifesting.

He only comes here to cause trouble and confusion with his lies. He's the singular reason this thread is the way it is today. When he first came out here with his slander and libels I was the only one who went out of my way to engage him for the real truth to come out but lie lie, till today kwusai

I can't count how many times I've calmed down to ask what his problem with cheerfulgiver is, he will say one thing today and change it to another thing tomorrow. Let me not even begin to talk about the numerous monikers he operates here to attack different people for frivolous reasons (forget about the rest of the forum) I can count at least 7 of them he operates on this thread alone.

This thread was okay and useful so far, for all of its over 5,000 pages until the troll showed up , its not as if we no dey engage in banters and vawulence sessions here before oh, but we all do it in a matured way. That guy just came here and messed up everything.

But what really perplexed me was the way the veterans and agbas on this thread all kept mum at that initial time when he started raving with his madness, maybe it was because they were already silently antagonistic against CheerfulGiver for posting his usually huge dashboards OR they were scared of the troll digging up their names and pictures to post here like he did for me and dru23 . . . Or maybe it's just the way we Nigerians are. We see black and call it white. We truly deserve the type leaders we get.

Now everyone who is serious with the ehailing have abandoned the thread. They would have been here keeping the information flowing if not for some people's envy, jealousy and Badbelle. Newbies or struggling folks can't get helpful tips and tricks here again like before. I have said it before and i will still say it again, in the almost 20 years I've been active on this forum this is the one thread with the highest amount of active cowards and two-faced folks I have ever encountered .

Well, heaven knows I did my best, I shouted and screamed my voice hoarse, telling people to manage each other or leave those who want to stay on the road to drive and stop badmouthing their hustle witnout presenting any alternatives . . . Sooteey they called me twerker, Mr. cho-cho-cho talkative lol chai! Una wey dey this thread ehn . . . in fact, make I no talk everything wey dey my mind finish for now.

See TheModerator, so far you are still here posting your usual silly ish on this thread in any manner or guise whatsoever I will always single you out and tackle you. If you like scream my name 100 times and photoshop my pic to post here na you sabi.

TheModerator:
Thankfully, there's a WhatsApp conversation to further butress my point. But, even if I show you the screenshot of that chat, it will not change the goat in you.

Weren't you here screaming that the hustle wasn't profitable for you back when the fuel price was N185? So now that it has quadrupled to N600 what do you think we expect you to do? Isn't it to jump inside lagoon or hang yourself?

If the hustle wasn't profitable for you back then I wonder how you will now twist your mouth and start blaming tinubu and his fuel subsidy gaffe for your present views concerning the hustle?

This guy, its like you have one peculiar mental ailment. You were the one running upandan here with almost 10 monikers attacking people and forcing your opinion of ehailing being dead siince way back in November 2022. You dragged us here ooh till tinubu entered aso rock and fuel price multiplied.

Then you're now coming here today to start posting bullcrap . . . What do you want to show me? When someone complained to you of high fuel price today? Why don't you show me a screenshot of that same person complaining that ehailing wasn't profitable for him back when the fuel price was N185.

Mschew anyway, na only person wey no sabi you go everly take you seriously.

TheModerator:
After the fuel hike, the ant goat bragged about how he uses office workers salary to buy fuel for his Uber hustle in a week. Lol. Mumu. So I was wondering which is better, use 10k fuel to make 70k or use 70k.fuel to make 150k. The effect of inhaling raw smoke from danfo buses in traffic have become incurable in some people.

My firend that does this business just sold off his car. Even when I was begging him to keep the car for his personal use and find another business to do, he refused. Such is the level of anger and frustration that presently comes with the business in this Agbado era.

Assuming you weren't already screaming blue murder concerning this same business back when the fuel price was still at N185 we would have tried to take you a bit seriously

Now that the fuel price is N600 we expected you to have sold off your investment a loooong time ago or even committed suicide

You just talk for talking sake. Mouth full of lies.

1. Is Baaz in Nigeria?

2. He made 3 posts since he returned an 2 were political posts

Note: I know Baaz's style, he could have found a way to squeeze me into his nefarious and childish naggings. The 3rd political post could have been exactly what I described.

The question you should ask is why is Baaz always starting a political discussion here?

I only pointed that particular one out because people only tend to see my replies to him.

Just imagine when I was advicing people about getting a soft tech skill and I ended the last paragraph with "they should forget the fact that Diezani has really eaten too much money from the country" and finally, I should include a horrible picture of Diezani like he added a female Tinubu's picture.

Where's the sense in that?

Why are people not talking sense into him for always starting political chaos here?

Sorry man I'm only stating the obvious. Conner44 tagged me in a post few days ago, I ignored it. 2 other people have complained about the country since 2 days ago, I didn't interfere even the part where someone said muscle is now 5m.

It's not my business and Tinubu is not my father.

I was only showing who the troublemaker was.
If you believe I shut people up for complaining about the government, please bring a proof.

Good morning!

You too can tackle bazz001 whenever he comes here to clown on you, just leave deziani out of it. It makes you look lame whenever you counter his posts using that angle because even while she and her crew were raping our collective dividends of democracy the country and its economy never nosedived to such low levels as we are all witnessing today

You're even lucky it's only baz001 tackling you here. Trust me there are worse ways aggrieved netizens on this thread could tackle you which would practically leave you speechless. Baz001 is in congo agreed but he's crying out on behalf of his cousins, nephews and nieces who are still stuck in this hell hole dancing to the whims of your messiah oga

Can you name one good economic policy that APC under tinubu has enacted which is currently being felt by the masses since he bribed his way into aso rock? Its how many months now and we are yet to smile for any reason whenever we hear your oga's name.

Even buhari made us smile during his reign of terror because the old man usually behaved like a Charlie Chaplin once in a while.

Good morning to you too.

Hustling brothers making something of themselves while you come here where you know you can dance naked to be distracting yourself

My 2 Cent!

I agree with this your 2 cents.

By the way, do you know that 2 cents is actually worth N25 naira in the black market today? At least i can still use it to pay for pure water to drink when your oga activates phase 7 (out of 100) of his numerous plans to finish us.

I failed at what? Making people see that ehailing is now dead? , do you know that I can scan your own post history, screenshot and paste at least 20 various instances where you made the exact bolded statement above over the past 6 months?

My saying I won't quote you again was only just a decoy. I can't read such nonsense and pretend not to have seen it.

TheModerator:
Thrash!

Haha but every single line of what I posted above is what you and your cohorts have been harping on this thread since February this year.

Now that you're reading it from me it's looking like thrash abi? shebi you said you won't quote me again? lol

Na hypocrisy go kee you

Ehailing in lagos is dead yes its true. It is totally dead.

Once upon a time when people like pearl and cheerful were posting huge dashboards to motivate others we never knew that some few ones already knew ehailing was on its last legs and dangling by a thread.

They were seriously advising other Drivers to stop listening to dubious posters that call themselves drivers on this thread showing fake dashboards and port to something better or suffer for life and risk losing their eyesight and proper body posture in the course of driving.

After all, back then ehailing was already terribly unprofitable to those same set of people, then out of nowhere, Tinubu and his governance came into the picture and has finally killed off ehailing for good.

But in the end we still give proper and major thanks to the Almighty all because after the advices and bants (coming from the usual suspects) concerning the wellbeing of their fellow struggling Drivers and their families on this thread . . .

most Drivers are wiser now
They have applied for and secured good salaried jobs

many Drivers are more focused today
They have all learnt soft tech skills and are landing lucrative remote work contracts

past Drivers are prudent now
No more buying fuel anyhow and checking mpgs everyday just to be moving the whole of lagos upandan. Now they move just themselves and families

all the stubborn Drivers went broke
They have sold off their vehicles and gone back to their villages

So coming to this thread today to seek updated knowledge concerning everyday ehailing struggles in lagos is no longer possible. Nobody drives on ehailing again. Everybody has moved on to greater things, taking helicopter from lekki to ikeja. . . or are treking, cycling, Jumping danfo and flying bike upandan or are just plain broke.

If you are outside on the road and see any corolla or civic carrying someone it's definitely private and all the moove suzukis you see have been privatised. That's the reality some people here want us to accept. Their insider source told them that Uber is getting ready to shutdown operations in nigeria, bolt have already threaded water long enough and Indrive is just . . . there, let's not even talk about rida.

Infact if you're coming to tbis thread today it's just to reminisce about old times and reach out to people you miss who you haven't seen their posts in a while like a few members do these days . Just to check if people are still alive or dead . . . Then the other member might come out and post stuff like "I am fine, just busy travelling for work and getting major allowances. Too busy to post " and that will be the end of their discussion till when loneliness triggers another call-out between them.

This is the current reality on the nairaland lagos uber thread today AND WE ARE TOTALLY HAPPY AND CONTENTED WITH THE SITUATION OF THE TREAD

So please, newbies seeking information should start from page one and read up to page 5000, anyone who has a question can post and pray the 'serious' drivers take out time to reply their posts and the old usual members can continue using this thread as their avenue to relieve stress and pass time with their cruise and bants. After giving so much information and experience for the past 7 years and over 5000 pages on this thread they believe they have earned the right to do with this thread as they please. It is not their fault that stubborn or less fortunate drivers hadn't moved on to other businesses or professional engagements since all the months that they had been shouting and warning, so let nobody blame them.

Instead blame yourselves for still attempting to invest in or are still driving on any ehailing platforms in nigeria after all the warnings the more experienced ones gave here or still attempting to come here for information, tips and tricks concerning ehailng.

So when people wonder why the thread has suddenlygone cold and dead, why drivers no longer post or update stuff here . . . It is simply because THEY HAVE ALL MOVED ON and I think you should do so too

I have come across lots of converted cars and I must say those done in Lagos are really really bad, Electricals are really messed up ,bad structural conversion. Misalignment etc. My two cents is there are lots of people who specialize in such in ibadan and enviro ,look out for them, stay clear off Lagos. This is not an advert as I don't convert and I have no business in conversion

Hmm, but if the bolded above is true of you then pray tell how you automatically became an authority on where to and where not to do a simple car conversion?

Larry1960:
Shebi some guys here dey complain say them no dey make profit that's because the machine una dey use for the hustle dey chop fuel.

So from lagos to Benin My guys said they left lagos 9am and got to Benin after 5PM that's like
8 hrs . Normally lagos to benin is 5hrs they said they were protesting around okada. So they spent 4hrs I traffic. My niqqurs said they were doing 140k to 160km/hr I swear those my niqqurs dey drive speed am always fretful when am inside their cars so when I did my calculations I found out that car was doing above 12km/litre for the mpg that is to say 15000 divided by 8hrs journey means every hr fuel ⛽️ consumption is #1875
Which is equivalent to 3.125 litres of fuel @ 600 per liter with Air condition on
Make una no dey buy lemon car no wonder some people dey complain no profit


Imagine they loaded 4 passengers from lagos to Benin
At the rate of 10k per passenger = 4OK-15K less of fuel= net profit go come be 25k
If dem pick from road side not park dem no go pay any agbero so you can see profit


Anyway way it might have consumed more if it was like 5 occupants inside the vehicle

Omoapena come and see how this guy did his own calculations. All those times I was telling you about mpg this is what I was expecting you to do
