Lagos is famous for many things –for the round-the-clock hustle, whether white collar or redeye, for its crazy traffic and bustling night life,
among other things. One thing that it is arguably most famous for is its flag –the bright yellow metal flag, sitting on four tyres, snaking through
traffic and not forgetting to scratch any vehicle in its path; The Danfo buses.

They are furious, not necessarily fast, but furious, every single time. You see the road to your destination, they see Fury Road.

What you see Vs. What they are

They have only one mood –rage. Road rage. But if you look past their almost non-existent customer care, there are a few business lessons you can learn connecting buses in Lagos.

A conversation about Danfo happened with Goodman and this happened.


1. If you want to be heard, you’d have to make noise, a lot of it

https://techcabal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/danfo-1_1.jpg

Forget the playboy logo on the door, this guy is not playing Danfo conductors understand this. It’s why the conductors with their husky voices still manage to create a cadence for the routes they are screaming. Sometimes you can’t even make out the words the conductor is saying but you know the route. They even get so persistent and annoying that if you were thinking about changing your mind, you’d be bullied into entering the bus, psychologically of course. You surrender.

That’s Marketing.

Persistence is key in keeping your hustle relevant. Stay rubbing it in people’s face, but politely please. You’ll be better off remembered for rubbing it in people’s faces than not being remembered at all.

2. Branding is not overrated

https://techcabal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/danfo-driver-fresh-Credit-Hadassah-Egbegi_1.jpg

A lot of the time, better dressed drivers and conductors get addressed more politely by passengers than their singlet-wearing or bare-chested colleagues. It’s for one reason –packaging. Facts only.

“The difference between kpekere and plantain chips is packaging”. That’s a legit contemporary proverb. I mean, looking at where BRT buses are
now, there’s only one reason we aren’t calling them Molue yet – packaging. And branding too.

Your client’s perception of you is very important. You visit five bars. Four tell you they are Bartenders. One says he’s a Mixiologist. Tell me,
who are you going to remember tomorrow?

I mean

3. There’s always a new way to get to the next bus stop

LOL.

Whether they have to climb culverts, or take the BRT lane, or pass secret streets even Google Maps can’t find, Danfo drivers are willing to get to their destinations by any means necessary (Do not try this in the presence of LASTMA).
They are never satisfied with sitting in one spot in traffic. Never.

That’s being open to new innovative ways of doing stuff. Deep down, we love the driver that’ll get to our bus stops the quickest.

Same with the people we hire. We hate it when our tailor says “there was no light, that’s why I didn’t sew the cloth you dropped for two
weeks for the wedding you have tomorrow.”

Dear Tailor, ever heard of generators?

4. The Danfo Team hate it, but they pay their dues, everyday.

At every bus stop, there’s an angry looking man waiting to collect a ‘tax’ from bus. The drivers pay it grudgingly, every single time. It saves time, and maybe the losses that come with a revolt, like a missing side mirror, or shattered windscreen, or a black eye.

You need to understand that sacrifices will be made. Never forget.

5. Lastly,

Look outside on your way back home. You’ll see a conductor hanging to the bus. Whether the driver is going fast or slow, whether it’s a smooth road or it has Super Mario type of ditches, he holds on tightly. That’s because his dinner, and even more, his life depends on it.

Cool. Kwanks worked

peeparty:
Guys give me ideas.

Now here is the gist.my friend who is a learner fell in love with this girl and they have been dating for 7month now.he takes her out some weekend, to movies, dinner date, pay for her hair do and other stuff girls term to be'caring'. The young man said for once she as not made any attempt to buy something as little as sweet for him. Below are some of the things he said she does:

1.For once she has not paid for his transport fare when they are out together.

2.On his birthday the babe was kind enough to buy eva wine, she was the first person to open it and drank from it, before she gave the guy a glass. She even took the remaining home.

3.When eating together she will be the first to finish the food. Even when she is eating alone she makes no effort to invite the guy to join her.

4.The one that broke the carmels back that made him ask the question above . According to him he bought her recharge card and ask her to help transfer some amount to him because he ran out of credit and needed to make some calls. Surprisingly the girl refused oo. She accused the guy of using his own call card to call other girls. mma abasi idiok eyen.


He really want to know how to treat such girlfriend.
.

Its your friend's fault mostly.

What happened BTW them is simple human psychology.

Let me give you an example: If your dad always gives you money anytime you ask, and you believe he is rich, when you start work and get your first salary, will he be the first person you send a token to?

That's the issue with ur guy. He has taken a position in the girls life that is hard to erase. I had the same issue with my gf sometime back and it gave me sleepless nights. No matter how difficult it will be , let him start getting Stingy no matter how little and re-program her that he isn't a money bag. ASAP.


There is no need for breakup as this might be her only bad xter. Work on her. all the best.

gudluckgreat:
As at now I can count over 50 pics in ma phone I need to get its hard copy but doing all the going around to wash it. So voila! Na him be the work

that's great to hear. how much will u be willing to pay per pic?

Holatunde007:

thanks guys. I will build it if it hits 15 LIKES, so get ready.!

OK. The idea is to build an app that after you take a picture or Selfie or something, you can now through the camera roll, choose any picture(s) you want printed out and pay with online or on delivery.

I know our mummies and daddies in the house will find this specially useful. So house, what do u think?

If you think its a nice idea, pls hit Like. if bad, pls hit SHARE.

God Win. No matter what. And always remember to pay your tithe oh!

godwin

Oh! O forgot to laugh

asuustrike2009:
well one of the terms and conditions of all gsm operators is to change charging rate with or without informing customers. So bear with them or port to MTN whatsapp bundle. to me Airtel discovered that the 50mb demand exceed their normal data plans and so they made it unattractive. if na lie ask glo why is glo bounce free mb 15mb instead of 30mb with 2days validity instead of 7. And to worsen the matter, no notification to their customers. although MTN may be bad or trick, I hardly experience this thrash. This is one of the reason I find it difficult to use other service providers because they're not consistent.
Disclaimer: the piece of write up is my personal opinion and doesn't relate to being linked to any service provider.

What's the code?

How much do they give?

What's the cost?
