When all my mates were joining the Bad Gang, I was busy praying "fall down & die" prayers at MFM.

This world can never ever get better - walai.

This is the first time I am seeing these words.

The sins & atrocities of Sodom & Gomorrah cannot be up to 10% of the abominable things that pervades our world today.

Nitori Oloun, why was I not born during the era of Obafemi Awolowo & Nnamdi Azikwe ?

What if I now choose to embrace this decadent lifestyle?

Because my people for Ijebu say: To ba n gbo gbè gbè gbè, Ti o baa join won, wan ju si ehinkulè e.

If you dey hear carry am, carry am and you refuse to follow dem carry am, na for your backyard dem go drop am.

Obatala have mercy on my soul and prevent me from joining the Marlian and the Balenciaga Gang.

But izzou, why did you blur her face? She's a criminal, and as such - should be Psycho-Cyber Shamed.

[color=royalblue]Brotherly, i no blur am oh. Na so she take upload am.

I guess she's the not-so-proud ashis. But then, i dont even give a flying fvk what she does with her life

You took a ride, got dropped, absconded and blocked a hustling, innocent man.

"Touts just surround my car. Dem dey hail me and am together. "

[color=royalblue]I don't know much about royalty. But do kings move about with an assistant or something?

Because the king dey front with me. The guy come driver's side dey hail me.

[/color]

[color=royalblue]So...Long post alert

I worked throughout the night and ended up on the island around 6am to sleep small. Around past 7, I got a request. It was a woman

Me: Where are you headed to?
Her: Lagos island
Me:
Her:But you'll bring me back
Me:


Got to the house and it was a big house. It wasn't a palace that we know. I parked outside too
She came out and sat at the back. I greeted and asked if I could proceed

Her: No oh. Another person is coming

Then this man came out. He wore a jersey and shorts. I greeted him and we started driving out of the estate.

Me:Sir, please use the belt
Her: No oh. He won't use it. Don't worry. Nobody will catch you
Him: Let me use it. The owner of the car said I should

We got to Adeniji and she said they will use 20 minutes. They later used 50 minutes. All these while, I never knew he was a king. When they came back, the king gave the boy that carried the small nylon #2k.

After we finished, they said I should take them to Mandilas. This time, the man wasn't using the belt. I didn't talk sha

When we got to Mandilas, they went out and came back too. That was when I started to suspect I was carrying someone big. Touts just surround my car. Dem dey hail me and am together. I wanted to zoom off

King: No please, don't go. Let me give them something.

He brought notes and threw out the window.

As we were going, the wife wanted to buy one cream. The shop had a NO PARKING by LASTMA. She say make I park. I park . LASTMA showed up and blocked my car. She told me to wind down. As they saw her and him, Na so dem prostrate, they greet. I was shocked

After the whole drama, we went to his house and I drove in. See cars....Chai. He paid me handsomely.

When I was driving out, na so some boys block me, say make I find them something. Abi I no know say na King I carry?

Gave them #500 and zoomed away. I still remember this trip till today


I have another one, but make I rest small

SHOOPSYN:
We youth have lots of issues. That is why these obessed politicians will continue to walk over us because we don't believe in unionism again. I really wish there is Unity among us such that we can agree on something together and achieve it. Can we imagine the effect of drivers not driving fo just 3days?.... Like someone have said, there is still more to these permits. Guys please this is a faceless forum,let us all calm down. Really miss the daily funny and.... experience. 1luv!

[color=royalblue]I quite agree with you. Let's talk about something different jare


What's your most memorable experience on this job?

Mine was the day I carried a particular king in Lagos. I won't mention his name

seun289:
Government is aware of all u mentioned... Am sure u are also aware that Danfos were to be scraped/remodeled few years back too but government can flex their muscle just to favor the very few not considering the after effect on d masses... So as it stands, its either u jejely comply and drive in ur a/c cars or u join d danfo wagon... after all, nothing like lasdri and hackney for them... Infact they make use of the brt lanes while the lastma gays turn the blind eye and look the other way.... Naija I hail

[color=royalblue]There has always been strength in numbers. It will not start from uber drivers, and it will not end there.

You want to tell me if 90% of uber drivers take a peaceful walk to Alausa to protest the issuance of LASDRI cards when we have a license already, that the Lagos State government won't consider?

I remember few years back when I was working. Took a bus and when we got to Oshodi, I saw a mammoth crowd. I ask what happened. The conductor told me MOLUE BUSES refused to work because they introduced a new levy.

I'm not saying the government should tax or generate revenues. But some means are unseemly and wicked..

You guys will pay 20k for not having LASDRI while a danfo driver zooms past without wearing a belt and licences

Good luck sha. I hope you all use your numbers someday [/color]

ncnerio:
Any idea why lasdri and hackney Uber put optional ? Abi na me no get the message well?

[color=royalblue]Maybe there's a meaning we are yet to understand

It shouldn't be optional [/color]

seun289:
U chose to drive under the Uber platform who operates within the stipulated government policies and as a business coy, profit must be made...it's either ure in or out.. Not a do or die affair... Uber itself has readjusted to the policies so as to stay afloat, operate and stay in the market for as long as it can..
Forget about association(as far as ehailing is concerned) ... Pray for favors as u set out on a daily basis as well as keeping tabs on other job openings except u wanna wreck yourself by urself all in d name of driving and moving lagos... Moreover, u want to put up a fight with the issue of lasdri and hackney with who sef if I may ask ...
Even the yellow cabs and busses that are organized to an extent and have associations that have been in existence for so long will continue to dance to the government tunes...

[color=royalblue]How many danfo drivers have a valid drivers license?

How many danfo drivers have the Lasdri?

How many danfo drivers have road worthy vehicles?

But when they force it in you, you console yourself with "You can't fight the government".They turn a blind eye to some and write and quote new laws for some.

That man is absolutely right. Until you all get yourselves together, una go soon dey wear uniforms and paint your corollas yellow and black [/color]

[color=royalblue]That said, I have a friend who wants to sell his car. He's not on nairaland

The car is a Toyota Yaris 2008 model. The car is currently on ehailing

Reason for sale: He just bought another one for ehailing too. Wants to sell it off and invest in something different

The car is manual, and it's going for #800k.

If you like am, just send me pm so I go give you him number[/color]

Tyche:


Even someone here is advising Uber drivers to pay 110,000 for operational licence as e no concern am.

One day, they will charge every private cars on Lagos Road 110,000 as operational license.

[color=royalblue]This is actually the time for Ehailing drivers and partners to speak up.

How can the Federal government of Nigeria issue me a license, and the Lagos State government forces me to have their own?

What if the 36 states of Nigeria decides to issue their own drivers licenses and cab licences?

This country is mad.

The truth is they may not know how to identify an uber driver, but this Lasdri may likely become a norm

[/color]

kodak202020:
HELP!!!
Can i input my saving account details on uber for payments or only current account is allowed?

[color=royalblue]I definitely think you can. [/color]

calabardick:
That's why our leaders are ridding us like hoes, Nigerians need another independence from mental slavery.

Uber has implemented it.

[color=royalblue]Imagine if

Ogun state issues their license
Ondo state issues their own
Edo state
Delta state
Anambra state
Imo state all issue their licenses

So I'll need seven different drivers license, apart from my normal one before I can enter Port Harcourt

This country is very useless. Our politicians must be thanking God for the kind of people they are ruling [/color]

[color=royalblue]One very annoying character with us Nigerians is that we never complain, as long as it doesn't concern us.

Keke and Okada was banned but nobody complained because we don't have Kekes and Okadas

I remembered few years back (5 years maybe) when Lagos State brought this LASDRI nonsense. Nobody complained because "e no concern me"

How can the Federal government issue me a driving licence and that's not enough for a state government to let me drive? Every new government has a way of riding us, and will keep on reoccurring

I pray every single state in Nigeria copies Lagos and start issuing their own "DRIs".

At least, before you reach Abuja, you go don use 3 days on the road, applying for various DRIs

Very useless country we live in [/color]

[color=royalblue]Whenever I want to know what typing stupidly looks like, I always come here.

All I see here are people who are pained by Liverpool's anticipated victory, and Barça fans that are still on the hospital bed because of last year's cruel humiliation

If the EPL is weak, then the UCL is weak and the WCC tournament is weak too

mrjaydee:
Felicity nothing do you.. I still do uber weekends oh..

I love driving and now I do it for the fun of it.

Come to think of it..I carried 2 oloshos friday night from 1004 to lekki phase 1..trip was with surge and traffic.

One of them borrowed 1k from me. Na so I end trip was 4600naira. The babe transferred 4k and begged me till monday she would balance.

I buzz her today she no pick come block my number.. abeg make una help me damage her line the balance is 1600naira.
Her name is queen 07063564520.

I trust una thanks guys.

[color=royalblue]E be like say she dey work currently.

Na to try her number tomorrow morning, when she don close[/color]

shollywendy1:
I still met with one airport cab man today after taking off the same time to the same destination. They all use hackney permit on blue plate numbers. Hackney permit doesn't change number from blue to red.
You can maintain hackney permit on ur blue plate number

[color=royalblue]Then there will be no need for a red plate again.

After all, the difference between the particulars of a red and blue plate is the Hackney [/color]

ndubuis:
Nice thoughts bro. I have been paying tax to Lagos State government since 2010 that I started working. Over 10k on a monthly basis since 2010. Do the math and see how much of my income has gone down the drain in the name of paying tax to a faceless government. I still run my car through potholes on a daily basis in Lagos, I provide security for myself, I provide electricity for myself. And someone comes here to remind of how I will further pay tax for having an uber passenger in my car on my way to work, so I can afford to pay for a dubious toll gate, so I will have money to fix my car destroyed in a government road that they refused to fix with all the tax that I have paid so far, so I will have money to provide electricity, security for my household. I could go on and on. God will punish any senseless pig that will come here and rant about paying tax to a useless cabal at Alausa in the name of government.

[color=royalblue]Lol

Let even agree that Uber drivers need to get a license. My question is

Is it #110k that those old men with rickety golfs used to get theirs?

Like Tyche said, the next thing we may likely see after forcing Hackney on uber drivers is for them to change their plates from blue to red. Because according to Vehicle registration processes, HACKNEY IS FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES SHOULD BE RED PLATED

And once you carry red plate? Na you and different council go dey make love everyday

Na money Lagos state government wan chop. Dem no send whether the local cabs die sef[/color]

nitigriti:
I understand your point sir, but these cases you refer to are the exceptions rather than the rule. I agree with you that government should be able to identify and excuse these exceptions from the licensing fees.

But then, using a private car to convey passengers from one place to another is also a serious traffic offence in Lagos and warrants impounding without remedy of the car.

In LASG's eyes, cars are either fully commercial or fully private.

And we shouldn't forget the possibility that LASG might be trying to protect the taxi unions. To be honest, when I used to drive, my conscience disturbs me whenever I see these aged men at their parks, helpless against the onslaught of e-hailing vehicles.

Na your side I dey.

[color=royalblue]E-hailings really did enough damage to taxi unions, but the world is changing.

And if I go by your logic of "fully private or commercial", then sooner or later, Uber cars will be required to change from blue to red.

The license to drive a danfo is not #100k, after getting a red plate, painting your bus yellow, and getting a Hackney. What those drivers pay to Oluomo are daily dues which is only when they work. That is reasonable

Why not tell uber drivers to get licensed like those babas? I can bet you that the fee will be much lesser

100k is very unfair. Should Uber cars be taxed? Yes. But that amount shows the motive is different

[/color]

peeps4u:
If I get you right, the hackney permit is for the car, hence the owner gets it while Lasdri is for the driver, driver applies for it?

[color=royalblue]Hackney is part of the car documents, so the owner of the car should do it, whether HP or rental, since it will carry the car details and owner details

Lasdri is a requirement for driving, so the driver should do that since it will be in his name[/color]

nitigriti:
We need to look beyond "operational licenses" or "medallions" and focus on the big picture - the right of cities to tax her productive residents.

All Lagos State government is saying is, if you drive your vehicle for commercial purposes, then you need to have an operational license.

Again, what is in focus here is the right of Lagos State government to tax her residents.

The yellow taxi unions pay for their licenses. Same for NURTW. Same for Miyeti Allah and the cows they sell in the state. Same for the tomato and pepper seller in Ketu. Same for the fuel stations across the state. Same for all market men and women. Same for Night Club operators. Same for quick service restaurants. Same for hotels and guest houses. Same for privately-operated schools. Same for privately-operated hospitals in the city. Same for pharmacies in the city. Same for medical laboratories in the city. Same for land owners and house owners ...

Everyone and every business is being taxed in Lagos. E-hailing cars are not so special that they should be exempted.

[color=royalblue]Niti baba, I'm not saying ehailing not be taxed. No, I haven't said that

I have a friend that used a 2007 Audi A7 for uber(Yeah, you heard me right). He only drove twice, and he used it to carry riders from Ajah,
because, according to him, he wanted to know the feeling and blah blah blah

This is the purpose of ride sharing. Are you saying this person should get a license of #110k because of this? Are you also saying he automatically becomes a commercial driver?

People who use their private cars to pick #50 passengers on the road just to make few bucks, are you saying they automatically should pay #110k for the license and get the Hackney?

I'm not saying the government should not tax them oh. But the means is unreasonable.

Other countries that kicked out Uber, didn't do it because of tax. They did it because local taxi businesses was dying.

Or will you tell me confidently that those yellow Gold half taxi drivers paid #110k for their licenses?

Reason with me, baba [/color]

nitigriti:
Seven, no matter how long we keep running from these hard facts, they are the truth; and will continue to stare us in our faces.

[color=royalblue]Medallions were used to regulate the number of cars on the system. They are usually expensive.

Also, Uber and Lyft were not forced to have medallions. In fact, Uber made the price of medallions to reduce drastically, because people prefer to register on Uber than to pay $50k for a medallion

In all, I think Uber should be left to bear the brunt of the law. What if I do only one trip on uber daily,
when closing from work? Do I need a #110,000 license and a #3500 hackney permit?

I think the government is just after the money. [/color]

iyaegin:
Bros there is no IF here I can rest assure you that LASDRI and Hackney would be made compulsory, don't get carried away with talk that Uber has not yet sanctioned it that in itself is shallow because is it Uber that will determine what document is acceptable or the Government whose road you are plying.like I said I have the recording and the officer said the only requirement that is being reviewed for now is the operator license, the LASDRI and Hackney are standard and here to stay.For emphasis he clearly stated that you require a Hackney permit once you carry humans for commercial purposes which is what ehailing is all about.so if you have to get documents worth 2k and 5k for one year why not do so for peace of mind rather than paying stupid VIO fine of 20k or more for non compliance.

[color=royalblue]Quite true

But my issue is with the Hackney. Hackney is for commercial purposes, and same goes for red plated vehicles

So will they be demanding Hackney from every blue plate they see?

I feel they are better ways to generate revenue rather than defeating the purpose of blue and red plates [/color]

[color=royalblue]What if Ole leaves, and Woodward brings in Pep?

Will he still be called a fraud? [/color]

[color=royalblue]For drivers on rentals,

If (I used IF) and IF the Hackney permit rumours are becoming true, kindly tell your partners to get it.

It won't be easy looking all over your shoulders for 300 days.

LASDRI is #2000 for a year. Think about it, brethren


PS: I said IF oh[/color]
