[quote author=senbonzakura_kageyoshi]Nobody is stipulating the time he should or should not work. What the government is stipulating is the duration he works at a stretch. The government did not set any specific time that they can start work and they should end work. For all we know, any driver can choose to start work at a time the rush hour falls within his 8 hour stretch. It becomes an issue of planning for the drivers and not that they are mandated to begin and end at any specific time.

Once he goes to rest, the rest of the day becomes useless? And who made this so? When your regular workers take their breaks, does it make the rest of the day useless for them? If after he takes a rest he chooses not to continue for the day, it is his call. If he chooses to continue, then it's back on the road for him and good-luck to his hustle.

That he is not a civil servant even makes it more imperative for him to take breaks and regain some energy. Civil servants are entitled to breaks and most of their jobs are not as physically demanding and tasking as what these drivers do. Who needs a rest more between civil servants and commercial bus drivers, especially in an over-crowded and stressful city as Lagos? It is not in the driver's best interests to allow him just go gung ho till he breaks down because Nigerians are such hustlers that if you leave some of us, we will work round the clock to make an extra dime which, while good for your pocket, is not good for your health. And if they are not healthy, how will they earn money for their families to survive? If any of these drivers experiences a breakdown at the wheel and crashes, would you foot the medical bills of both driver and passengers?[/quote]Okay, good luck with the enforcement of the 8 hours work for all danfo drivers (one even wonders how you guys would enforce such). And while you guys are at it, you can as well dictate the type of food the danfo operators are to eat. Hell, you can even dictate the multivitamins they are to take. I wish you guys the best. However I earnestly hope you guys will realise that our danfo operators are suffering and they need succour.

princesa: what have i done to you and jbluv, why are you deactivating my name

How can I deactivate the name of a princess? I dare not .

Good morning everyone.

NoLoveLost: There need not be judging from the nick. The personality is same!!

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I hereby notice you as "NoLoveLost" who was formerly "RubyTheBlogger"

[quote author=senbonzakura_kageyoshi]This:



Still going to defend that?[/quote]Whichever way you look at it, there's no way you'd expect a danfo driver not to be on the look out for passengers for 8hrs at a stretch. Telling him not to work for 8hrs at a stretch is the same as telling him not to work beyond 8hrs. This is because once he goes to rest, the rest of the day becomes useless. The law stipulates that the commercial driver should go and rest for a stipulated period of time. What if the period he's supposed to rest is the rush hour? You want him to continue to rest when he hasn't even made enough money to feed his family for the day (LASTMA and co must have taken the ones he made earlier). Then when he comes back from the compulsory leave, he will then queue up in the park waiting for his turn. When it eventually gets to his turn, the rush hour will certainly be over.

Its very wrong to stipulate the period of time a danfo driver works. He's not a civil servant. He pays his taxes. Don't dictate to him on when to go and huzzle and when not to. Our economy has been harsh on him, don't make it harsher. Mind you, its not every day that a driver will even want to work beyond 8hrs. There are days he works for just 3hrs and there are days he doesn't work at all. So let him decide when to rest, don't do so for him .

Note: I'm not saying that its good that our drivers are overstressing themselves. I'm just saying that its the fault of the economy and not the drivers. Let's treat the cause and not the symptoms. There are many things that are wrong: the danfo buses (paragon) is a moving corpse, the drivers are illiterates, the conductors are touts with bad HR skills. But all these are just symptoms. We need to treat the cause. If we do, the symptoms will disappear. But even if they don't, then the govt will be justified when they try to eliminate the symptoms.

Oahray: Why people dey deactivate anyhow na?

Probably they felt they weren't getting the desired attention or perhaps they felt their name have been soiled . However others deactivate for security reasons.

Howdy Oahray, its been a while . I missed you, but I'm pretty sure the ladies missed you more .

NoLoveLost: N.B: na me be rubytheblogger oo

I'm sorry but there's no correlation between NoLoveLost and RubyTheBlogger.

[quote author=senbonzakura_kageyoshi]Your call. My only concern is that some people will read your posts made from a conclusion drawn from a wrong perception and run with it.[/quote]You were the one with the wrong perception. What made you think I didn't notice the "8hr stretch" stuff?

ba7man: Say no to lawlessness and dirty environments.

Residents of Lagos must embrace civillization or be forced out.

Forced out to where? Why must we be barbaric to our fellow denizens? Why?

Yes, its imperative that we enshrine civility. But we cannot do so at the expense of impoverishing the masses. We cannot do that by encouraging barbarism. Our govt must be sensitive to the plight of the poverty stricken populace.

[quote author=ms_pee]She has not only poured sand in your garri, she also added otapiapia.

Well, bye. [/quote]Ms Pee darling, don't listen to ammanda's accusations. They are false. Don't let her sever the friendship between us. That thing going between us should continue, don't let our enemies win .

klax: But lets wait a minute why is Fashola regime so found of this law that law, this banned that banned for goodness sake what is going on is this what APC are coming to power in Nigeria to do to cage everybody or limit people freedom of movement and thereby says it was because of this reasons or that??

People should wake up because the finger print of what is about to happen is coming up all the time on the wall. Please is Fashola a true born of Lagos at all because its only a bastard that would prefer his own house turn to rubbles and yet feel comfortable about it.

Okada gone, market buldozed, levy upon levies, deportation, market shutting down, LASTMA madness and so on now its Danfo. Please is Fashola a real born of Lagos because his action sometime is so weird to me as if SOMEONE who doesnt care if Lagos crumbles or not. Sorry I dont care what is the reason or reasons he has to do all these nasty things to oppress the poor I dont care, all I know is before the West would know the damage they are doing to themselve its untill Lagos lost the economic power of Nigeria then they would know the extent of the damages Fashola and his people are doing to them. I'm so sick of Fashola regime so sick of it indeed every day something must come up this is absolutely nonsense and if care is not taken people would need visa to enter Lagos from Ibadan or from elswhere in Nigeria and yet some i di ots will say yea Jashola is right and begin their nonsense slogan Eko ko ni baje craps. God bless

You just spoke my mind. He's becoming more anti-people with each passing day.

[quote author=senbonzakura_kageyoshi]*Sigh* I asked you to go back and read the story properly and you failed to. I'll just be benevolent and help you out; now the story says "eight hours at a stretch". Meaning the driver can drive for eight hours straight then has to take a break. After taking said break, driver can resume for another eight hour stretch. Capisce? Doesn't mean driver drives for eight hours, then parks his vehicle and calls it a day.


(really won't be surprised if you try to defend your first reply after realizing your mistake. someone has already done that on this thread.)[/quote]I chose to ignore your first comment. I will ignore this as well.

[quote author=Ms_Steph]who is saying staph[/quote]Oops

titilayo02: I think Gov. fashola and mr Opeifa are out of their mind and has misplaced their priority on issues of transportation and security,why is it that
issue concerning agbero(area boys)are not giving attention and law regarding hoodlums are not enforced.Gov.fashola please be careful,your own they too much ooooooo.

Exactly! They are now the ones to dictate to a danfo driver who's struggling to make ends meet on the number of hours he is to drive. Its not as if they are paying the Danfo drivers any stipend. How will they even measure to know the number of hours a danfo driver spends at a stretch? This is a misplaced priority

If you ask me, I'd say this is very harsh on the danfo operators. This guys are struggling to make ends meet. Agberos/Area Boys/Touts feed on them, Police/Yellow Fever feed on them, LASTMA/VIO/FRSC feed on them and even the military also feed on them (they claim "Staff" thus they don't pay for their Tfare). How do you expect these danfo operators to feed all these parasites and still have change left for him and his family with just 8hrs of work. And if I may ask, how do the govt intend to measure the number of hours spent by a danfo driver?

Inasmuch as I don't like the poor services and poor HR of our danfo drivers, I think the govt is coming down a bit hard on them. The government must realise the bad economic situation of this country and ensure that its policies are not anti-people. I rest my case.

Thanks Ammanda, I hope she'll like the song .

Deiok: Nice vioce mr scopy

Thanks. Sorry for the hitches in pronouncing ur moniker though
