Lagos is part of the western region and you don't expect me to go comparing state by state. Let me rephrase my answer for you. "I think it's the same way bandits in the Zamfara are northerners and cultist/criminals in Imo State are also easterners. So the criminals in every region are a representative of the predominant tribe/religion in that area". You should get the answer this time if your brain too is not upside down like the dove on Redeem's logo.


Mumoo.
Is Lagos is predominantly Yoruba Muslim?
Have sense.

Our youth mindset have been destroyed

Completely destroyed! I don't understand why the youths will be failing themselves after the government has failed them.

The glamourization of cybercrimes, prostitution and a host of others have furthered contributed to the decadence.

If you want to drive Uber at night, don't carry multiple people, unless it's a pregnant woman and her husband or a sick person and supporter at the hospital. And tell the rider to sit in front seat, while you keep one eye on the road and the other eye on your passenger's hands. You have a 50/50 survival chance if things go south. But carrying multiple people and you have people sitting behind you gives you 1% survival chance. Check most Uber drivers that get attacked and killed while driving, 90% of the time, the attack started from back seat while he drove.

It's your car, it's your life, any passenger that can't or won't comply with your personal safety rules at night, cancel the trip, let them exit from your vehicle and move on. Better to lose 2K alone than to lose your life and the 2K and put your family into mourning.
let's be honest with ourselves and say it as it is- just don't carry men after a certain time if you value your life .

That is how most people make the money they throw around but Nigerians always celebrate them.
don't say most ' people ' it's most Men. When we are talking about prostitution you people will call women you won't be saying 'people" or " Nigerians " or " society" . But when it's male crime you will start generalizing . Violent crime is mostly by far committed by men - so let's use the proper terminology.

criminality cuts across genders. A woman has stolen my phone before. Some women are criminals too, some are gang leaders, some are girlfriends of criminals that lure victims to their gangs. Don't let your guard down just because someone is a woman. Ask Uber drivers, most of the passengers that dupe them with fake alerts etc are women.

Mehn!!!...you've said it all. I often say to my colleagues, that we that were born in early 80s are the most " unprivileged" among the Nigerian Age strata since independence. It was in 80s that (apparently) Nigeria start to witness decline economically & socially. Name it, Military era was experienced till adulthood compared to kids in mid 90s - Y2K. Education, Health, Finance all abyss.
My heart saddens about this unfortunate incidence


You are correct....it's just sad we found ourselves in a failed system.

This type of crime can easily be stopped or at least reduced to the barest minimum by thinking outside the box. Let the T&C of service include capturing a pic of the client, point of pickup, destination, then upload and send to Uber before any journey. Pic should be removed after a successful trip.

How unfortunate! I hope they never know peace nor experience any freedom till they draw their last breaths! What wickedness!
Imagine a medical doctor having to turn his vehicle to uber even for one day! If Nigeria didn't happen to him he'd never have had such a gruesome, fatal experience.

God rest hos soul and comfort those left behind

Sad indeed!
The Magnitude of Crimes being committed in Nigeria is unimaginable and unparalleled and it will take Divine Grace of God to bring down the evil that have been established in Nigeria.
Just imagine,a Medical Doctor, possibly running to the Hospital at night to safe lives but here the Ubber/ Taxi connivance has brought to forum the damn Insecurities challenges on our Nation.One thing is that the Police can fix these challenges,if they are ready to do it! The govt and the Police Authority must without biases have the will power to bring justice to the people of Nigeria
Terribly bad!

With out state police and community policing nothing will change.

Only if Buhari agreed to the terms of the resident doctors, the young doctor won't be outside hustling to make ends meet as a driver. So I blame it wholly on him

If the doctor didn't accept the request, someone else would. Nobody deserves to die like this, doctor or not.

May his soul rest in peace, this is sad, if drivers keep working in isolation and refuse to unite, this will keep happening. This app companies don't care about their drivers that makes billions for them, they only care about their commissions.
Riders/passengers will keep killing drivers because they know the app companies didn't profile then properly

Or a CCTV in the car which gets uploaded to Uber’s server. Most people will not agree to have their pictures taken easily.

What'd have push those young lad into this.
Heart of many people are evil.

Broken homes.
Peer pressure.
Social media influence.
Lack of a strong male figure.

It would have still happened. Read it: They wanted to kill for a car.

These measures you mentioned would be useful for apprehending the killer and not preventing the murder.
