This is stupidity on your part

Tell the unionists to leave the Uber and Bolt platforms and paint their cabs yellow and start operating cabs. No one forced anyone to be on Uber. Uber clearly has no desire to own cars so I don't understand why you are bringing up fallacies to make up a non existent point. It is very simple, any driver that does not like how things are done should leave the platform. Instead, you want to create yet another useless rent seeking group.

I'll personally arrest you if you harass anybody.

Impound their vehicles on what grounds? Many of the vehicles on Uber do not meet Uber's minimum standards and Uber looks away. Same with bolt. If you guys are asking for fare increase, they can agree to it and in response demand "strict compliance" with their minimum vehicle standards. For example a lot of the so-called ACs in those Corollas will never pass strict compliance inspection. Or is it the sounds heard from creaking CV joints, or the hard transitions when the gears are shifting? I understand that you guys are asking for and actually need a review in pricing. But ganging up to illegally impound people's vehicles will only get you guys in trouble. You most likely don't have the backing of the government and these multinational businesses have very smooth operators in government circles

This is one of the reasons unions should be banned. In a free market, drivers who are not satisfied should quit the platform. You can go and do yellow cab if you think you are the reason the platform makes money. People patronise Uber and Bolt not you the driver so organising a cult to force higher fares is devilish and anti-competition. Now they will probably form gangs around to attack Ubers and Bolt drivers that did not join their idiocy.

I actually feel sorry for people like you with your funny entitlement mentality . It is people like you that keep deceiving yourself into thinking you have some kind of right over something that is 100% not yours by any stretch of the imagination. Your type of people are too lazy to make the difficult but right decision of walking away and searching elsewhere, but instead you start dragging right over someone else's sweat and labour, or maybe you think people that own these companies just snapped their fingers and the company fell down from the sky and started operating.

To answer your question, what you see as wrong isn't seen that way by everyone, but you can do your part by walking away, if everyone does that what do you think will happen when there is hardly anyone to work for them?

Nature has a way of regulating stuff, there is the natural law of demand and supply and no one can do anything about it.
That people are desperate is no fault of the company and if there are more than enough people WILLING to work under certain conditions for reasons best known to them then its just the natural law of demand and supply taking its course. why do you think corporations source cheap labour from certain countries?

I am totally against any form of gang up to intimidate people that gave you a source of livelihood when you were jobless begging, applying and going through all sorts of scrutiny just to work for them. Now you are working and breathing small you are ganging because you want more. Simply walk away if you are not satisfied and go else where.

It’s justified due to the rising costs of commodities. However, drivers are know to be one of the most uncoordinated people. While some are on strike demanding for better welfare, others will still be working to capitalize on the surge demands.
Hopefully, you guys can pull this through.

Hedonini:
I can feel the pain in your 'voice'. This one pass Buhari fault. I understand. Country hard. But the point is, don't form nonsense unionism on top wetin no be your own. If you're not satisfied with Uber or Bolt, then QUIT and start your own private 'kabukabu' business with your own car. After all, no be Uber or Bolt get motor. Na you or your master get the motor. I don't understand why you'll be feeling so funky on another person's privately developed platform.

So, Mr bastard, shed more hot tears until your dormant brain is able to think up a better way to improve your financial situation. Ode.

This is really a funny one! Customers won’t support you guys, since we are looking for cheap rides and fares. You guys are on your own..

Hedonini:
Fool. If you're not satisfied with the rates, why not quit the app and seek alternative means of livelihood? Why are you Nigerians so ridiculously idiotic and evil? Who force you do Uber or Bolt? I detest this entitlement mentality on top wetin no be by force. Very foolish animals, most of you.

Go and find work na. Go and start your own business. It is not by force to be am Uber or Bolt driver.

Mooh247:



Customers won't support you guys on this...

Fare increase means customers would pay more... As if Bolt/Uber is not already expensive enough

But in all fairness, with increase in fuel prices fares should never remain the same...

Vehicle maintenance cost is steadily on the increase, with Engine oil , Transmission oil and brake fluid all becoming expensive... vulcaniser would charge you ₦500 for what should have been ₦200

this is so insensitive
I hope you are not a 16 years old boy?!

Mynd44:
Compliance is mandatory meaning they will beat and intimidate drivers who don't comply
