you are not a smart individual, just because uber is registered with CAC does not mean they have license to operate in the transportation business

CAC does not come with a license, CAC is just for registration of business, it does not give licence operate in the transport business

this is what you do not understand, we have 36 states in Nigeria, each states with their law and licenses, with what is going on, each states can decide to make Uber collect license before they can operate in their states, that will be disastrous for uber

Mr/Mrs smart, what I mean by CAC is to show they are registered and can be brought to book, I never said they don't need whatsoever permit to stay afloat in transportation. An oil company has CAC does not mean they have the right to import petroleum products... The pathetic part about your smartness is you r shying away from questions begging for answers. Too many injustice in this land, but you didn't sign up to address that, what is your motive? That's my point


If you need me to refresh you with injustice in line with transportation, I'll do that for free, since transportation orderliness is your hobby.

Ok sir, just go and drive your uber on Hp and stop complaining here.

Autocrat wanna b, u shouldn't have stoop dis low. I won't dignify ur HP shit with a response, cos material stuff's lives outside the line of my reality, but saying I'm complaining when you signed on to nairaland on d 18th of last month and you've been having erection for dis platform shows you only bear your name cos silly has been taken.

1- Yes Yellow buses do have LAsdri because they are commercial buses

2-It is not a crime to ride share but know they when you start to ride share your private car for cash, you have now commercialize it, if arrested when picking up passegers, you will be asked for permit to operate a commercial vehicle... drivers of commercial buses and taxis are also tax payers.

yes, people have been ride sharing before uber all over the world but they needed a permit to operate, even private taxi operators in lagos before needed a permit to operate.

Best approach will be for Uber and others to come clean and tell the government that they are taxi operators and get the necessary permit instead of claiming they are connecting people. all ubers and others stubbornness and deceit will lead to the suffering of drivers on their plaform, lagos government has leverage, uber are at their mercy not mattter what they print on paper. they will have to bow down to government at the end of the tussle.

Go and station at oworo bus stop at night, you have more then enough customer... Wot r u doing about that?

blissbliss:
The law of the land prevails; all its takes is for the government to make a policy whenever ready.

To be fair, when you do business in a society, you’ve got to be subject to their law(s).

No matter what argument we have on here, LASG wouldn’t have anything to lose blocking Uber’s IP address and taking them off Lagos state, granted Uber doesn’t comply. There’s no justification that you aren’t a commercial when you use your car for commercial purposes; let’s not attach emotions to things.

It’s a win win for the government either ways.

Pray Uber complies and the issues sorted else don’t wait till you’re used as a scape goat.

Enough said!

You have said it all "Government "... Let them make d law and the right thing for any citizen to do is to abide by it. If they choose to ban uber tomorrow, so b it. But for one overzealous officer to take the law into hand, shows him/her to b a coward. Yes! They can go ahead and muscle ppl cos they have uniform on them, but they should understand they don't wear the uniform to bed. Northerners just didn't wake one morning and start throwing bombs. They will definitely b a fight back and maybe the face behind that stupid post would b d first to go beyond irredeemable.

eyinola:
hmmmmmm,registered january 18/2020..if u know u know

I have observe that since, he/she is just a slowpoke reading VIO code out loud and I am so ashamed of him/her cos there is no law/moral justification for the nonsense he/she is trying to prove. Uber is a registered company with CAC, if they are breaking any of d terms and conditions on the deed they agreed, the right thing is to shut them down, let's see how driver will get request. But going after the weak is another way to show the cowardice in a soul which is typical of an average uniform officer. Shame again unto him/her if he/she have ever use the service of uber.

sexylassie:
I think you should direct your questions to those uber drivers whose cars have been impounded.

I am yet to see one driver, all seems like audio impound, like seriously? You will impound my car for what? you r going to need an officer with gun to do that. What do you think judiciary is meant for? Do you think you are talking to some kind of dunce? Believe me it may take years, but I'll push everyone involve in such act to the extreme.

I don't know why you are shying away from answering a reasonable question? In the context of justification, how do you conclude this person is an uber driver? We all act like we want to do the right thing, but at the end all you see is an undertone of greed.

How many of you got that VIO job's on merit?

sexylassie:
1-Vio can arrest Uber drivers if they dont have the necessary permit like hackney permit, they are empowered by the law because it is the duty of VIO to check commercial drivers like uber driver and others for Hackney/stage carriage permit
2-LASTMA can check if you have expired driving license and impound your car ( Driving without Valid Vehicle License LCG-13 2 5, 000 Impound Vehicle)
3-Police can also check your drivers license and arrest you if you dont have any, they can also arrest you for breaking traffic laws and over speeding.

know your laws.

U r VIO agent and I am putting it straight to you that as long as uber uses private plate number, then you have no right to arrest them, go ahead with government and put law in place that check mate that. First shut down uber operations and see if that won't mark the end of the madness, rather then going about threatening drivers that have done nothing wrong... To show your level of slowpoke, it took you 3 good years to realize this, what have you been doing all these years? Show your face to the public and I am willing to do the same, let's see how this end.

Trends and the future of ehailing business in Lagos state is all in the newspaper, any smart driver can gather all these info and see the future of ehailing in lagos state but many drivers here are short sighted instead of preparing for the future.

some drivers think that government officials are reading uber threads on Nairaland to create anti-ehailing laws..No, governmant oficials do not have time for that, they follow trends in other cities outside Nigeria to regulate the e-hailing business.

Uber and others has no operator license, the Lagos state government, under the Road Traffic Regulations on Taxi Operations, said that all taxi operators must get a license, classifying ride hailing operators under it. until when uber gets their operator lincense before Lagos state government starts taking them serious.

What ever you call yourself, ehailing or uber or taxify driver, you are a commercial vehicle drivers, and you must be certified by the Lagos Drivers’ Institute (LASDRI) before you can operate in the state. The law is the law. what makes you special from others

If you like protest, go offline, nothing uber and others will do except making it a requirement to get LASDRI and other permits before you can sign on on their various plaform.

Lagos Government can allow Uber and others to go out of the state, they dont care, the lagos taxi union wins and they make more money for the lagos state government than uber , taxify and others combine.

Pls how do u identy an uber driver?

I just escaped them, [Lastma] arresting uber. At Kudirat Abiola way Oregun, I was waiting for traffic light to turn green, they use their van to cross us, I arrested the guy before me I reverse and climbed their iron that punched my tire, but I escaped, I'm going offline by tomorrow.

Pix please?

Note: the job of a lasma officer is to control traffic and apprehend any one that violate traffic sign's, parked in a wrong place or obstructing other vehicles. Even with the ban on byke, it will take the effort of task force and police to apprehend a byke man using the banned route.

skillip:
God bless you Pope. I've been doing more of reading comments here, I wonder why the panic attack and physical protest ? The people we need to speak with/to for now are the e-hailing company NOT the government except they are helpless then you can move to the government, let them keep speaking with the government rather than we entering the street with placards.

I said it recently here that "the title that got to the people of Ede, will still reach Iwo" I believe in being proactive but let's face our partners for now.

Gbam! The govt is yet to attack anybody, all dis vio issue is more like hearsay, not even up to 2% out of the total drivers, it may just b overzealous officers takinv the laws into their hand, when the govt went for the keke guys, it was published. So offline and sit at home is good to send a msg to uber, but as for government, they have no issue with us or audio issue for now, so dia is no need to go wake what is not fighting us.

Vision2045:
When I talked the last time ...some lads said I am acussing people ...

If we handle things hurriedly..we will play into their hands...

Currently vio lads have created that panic using reverse psychology.

Yep, if u want to go offline, cool! But makes no sense going to protest with card board or peaceful walk... Just go offline and stay at home, going about other duties. If the people feel the effect let them voice out, cool... But picking uber battle for them, when they r refusing to aid us with adequate information doesn't add up.

ndubuis:
One more thing to add, drivers going on strike or protesting at Ubers office over this Lagos State issue, I don't think is the way to go. Uber and Bolt are helpless on this as well as you and I. The issue is that the oligarch that controls Lagos are trying to use every means possible to have everything that moves under their absolute control with the stream of money that comes with it. If they mean it, Uber and Bolt can become history just the way Okada and Keke went underground. They will in turn create a mediocre e-hailing platform and ask you to register with them, you will now have to battle with government officials and their touts. The rest will be history. There's a malicious and evil intent/undertone to all of this from the Lagos State government. Uber and Bolt may be hapless, may not be blamed if the eventual outcome of this does not favour their partners

You r using ur head, same reason is why we must not play into dia box... Best is let vio use any means they can to identify driver as long as no one ask you to unlock your phone. Let's give them the benefit of doubt and see how barbaric they can go, if they will have to attach sarz and illegally be searching people's phone.

https://m.guardian.ng/news/some-uber-drivers-in-lagos-may-go-on-strike-on-monday/

Bros we have a mole here, shabi u see d sexy whatever that carry uber matter on her head like gala... Fact is, it has not gotten this bad, wots the need of triggering d panic alert, let uber/bolt do the right thing or prove it that they have done the right thing. Dialogue have always been the way out of every situation, we need to be mindful of things we say here or it got hijack and beyond what drivers can control.

sexylassie:
Uber covers both bolt,uber and their likes, the issue is that these apps know from start what they are doing but do not want to play the game, they entered an unregulated market thinking govt will give them special treatment all because of innovation, when govt saw their tricks,govt decided to regulate the market, no matter what uber calls itself, it is a taxi business and taxi business will need the red plate and all other necessary license.

Uber drivers need to be future thinkers, either they join the govt own taxi and union or find any trade, uber and its likes won't pay for your licenses and permits, that will be a requirement to join uber and others now as govt regulate the market.

Uber and its likes will get their operating licenses, all other cost will be pushed to drivers and consumer, expect an increase in uber and others fare.

Companies care about profit, every other issue consumers must pay for the policies of govt

Govt increased vat, companies transfer cost to consumers.consumers are pained, companies smile to the bank,use your money to pay vat and still has profit.

Uber drivers should prepare for the storm, more requirement will be needed to join uber, some drivers will leave especially those on HP while those who are determined will stay.

Well said. The first step going forward is for us all to accept there is an issue and best way to tackle it

In as much everyone going offline would be the most effective way. In my opinion, I don't think that's achievable.

1. all drivers in Nigeria are not on this thread and there is no association and no means of communication to every driver, so how do we communicate to all
2. Even if we communicate to all drivers. In reality certain percentage of driver will go online and work to enjoy surge that will follow the protest.

Once some drivers are working the protest becomes ineffective

Boss this is not the first time drivers r going online, I only do 4 days in a week, if we all do 4 days and pretend our break is for protest, our voice will b heard, they is something called awareness, tell a driver to tell a driver dat on the 20th of February drivers will b on strike, a week or 2 awareness will obviously leave a sound that's worth paying attention too.

About all drivers no going on strike, in the midst of 10 they will always be 2/3 ITK's, worry less about them and focus on your cause. I have always said this and I'll say it again, the only way VIO can get at anyone is to change plate number to red, its not only VIO that will extort you, we have become victim of agbero and different tickets. This is an executive platform where everything can b done online and let one have peace of mind, but no, dose old men that r dew to retire, but keep updating dia date of birth won't let one rest.

My mind flash back to the keke jubilation, I hope d surge is worth the ban and we r making figures not made before? Or the tricycles rider's should come to protest for uber now? Some things r really needless in life, u only know that which you know, but wots in front of you, remains a mystery.

cooleo:
Baba you get mouth. Thumps up

Boss do they have permanent site at these locations, what if they read this and choose to change location?

tunlapapa:
Well said but why didn't you mention bolt to be tackled?

Boss what's d difference b/w indomee and noodles? Close-up and toothpaste?

shollywendy1:
God bless u for sharing this post

Boss take it easy, I've been following this trend and trying to refrain myself from spamming with information I'm not crystal clear about, I know very well that they will come for drivers, but after reading this, I'm yet to see a chellange that can't be conquered, our only problem is we,ve been beaten to admit anything that is thrown at us, what r u really scared off? If you read the information very well, they ask Uber to pay operations licence, which they have too and about d other permit, its not a big deal, they can ask uber to include it as pass to gain access online, all it takes is dialogue. The moment private can changes to commercial, then you are open to all sought of extortion, local government will come up with there own, same fate that befalls Opay bike will befall drivers. At this point it is advisable for all drivers to go offline, let kick the revolution, all it take is just a start.

Report any case of impoundment again and it shall not b taken easily. I see no point going to uber office, they r too proud to attend to drivers, go offline completely and let's see if they won't b stop to this madness before it blew out of control.

mistadayo:
It's like you people will soon help me call someone now. I did a delivery for someone from James Robertson to karimu kotun vi and trip was 2900. She said she has transferred my money and I've not seen alert. Anyways I've her name, address, picture and phone number. I also have the name of the person I delivered the package to and his office address. Will get his picture too.

The picture is OK, it will get the job done faster than expected.

Evening house, trust our hustle paid off today ?
I want to narrate the ordeal i went through yesterday in the hand of an Old Baga who faked a transfer of 3100 naira .
Here's the story : I took this Jigolo from 17 Balarabe Musa, Vi to Oworo on a 1.5X Bolt surge at 10am yesterday . When we got to his street, he pretended to be nice by asking me to end the trip because the road that leads to his place is not motorable. I did and he asked if he could do a bank transfer, usually i don't grant that request but because we had good conversations all through the journey and he looked like a well to do elderly man, i obliged.
Called out my account details and he read out my name ,after which i saw saw transaction successful on his phone screen . He thanked me and we bid ourselves bye bye.
Long story short , this unfortunate slowpoke faked the transfer and all my efforts to get my money has been abortive.
Please guys, help me launch an attack on his phone number 09057031333.

Good afternoon sirs. Please, I need your opinion on this; Someone needs my service for three days in a week. It will last for a month at least. Trip- Iju road to Agbara
Time: we leave for Agbara by 7a.m and by 4pm, we go back to Iju. I have been asked to charge per month. How much do you think I can charge per month?

You can only know when you leave, but can't b precise about returning time... Its obviously a day money. Iju to Agbara in dis soji season? 3 days in a week? You can do 15k/per day or fine tune everything to 40k weekly. My opinion o
