NURTW UNIONS should be responsible for lost and found items. Imagine loosing items and going to the park union to retrieve it after being verified for free.
Omo Nigeria don better be that o.

Imo. Abegberos should be trained. The job should be modernised. Drivers will have to always pay at the park's office before they begin the day's business. The agberos' will be stationed at bus stops to check ticket when Busses stop. This way, Drivers and Agberos will know each other very well, chances of once chance will reduce as every buses that stop at a bustop will be recorded.. like that like that..

The Agberos will also assist in telling their busses to park well and not indiscriminately. Fines will be melted out to Drivers or conductors who fight, who steals etc. Busses will undergo inspections too

No Agbero should be chasing cars up and down

Even if there's a case over that phone in time to come ..its something I'll easily pay ..its just a stupid tecno with cracked screen ..tecno pop or whatever they call it


What if the real owner of the phone was kidnapped after you dropped him or her? Don't you think dashing someone the "stupid Tecno with cracked screen" can get the person you dashed implicated?

Phone has IMEI. That's a Greek gift.....there are security implications....don't set someone up for a case that can turn very bad
I can change most android phone IMEI.

Once lost my second bag containing my dirty clothes, second laptop, chargers, books, Bible at Warri enroute Lagos.
Thought I've lost everything until the driver called me (my laptop's receipts were there). Told him I was already in Lagos, he wanted to waybill but I said no hoping I'd be back in Port Harcourt sooner.
The lockdown kept my load with him for 4 months 3 weeks
4 days and 8 hours.
I went to his house to pick it, Baba entertained me gave me my bag with everything intact.
I gave him a little token. I still have his contact.

This has got to be the dumbest post of the week. How much will pay if the owner of the phone was killed in a robbery and you got arrested.

Since I’m not a Taxi driver, let me ask this one looking at me under the bridge.
I would come back to post his responses and tag him appropriately.

They connected using the app and phone number now. So that isn’t so hard doing

If it is a random “pick and go”, I don’t know what I can say about it. I would have suggested police station, cos the items are safer with the boys at the motor park than with the men in the police station
safer with the guys at the motor park than the police station. I see that you are talking from experience
I see that police don show you shege.
I see that police don collect bribe from you.

Take it to nearest police station and get police report.

In Nigeria, I prefer motor park because they will always keep for the person.
They know the person will come back

Sometimes passengers can forget their phones and other items in your car.For the phone it is easier to call a number there in in the call logs.Also,items with verifiable identity like id cards ,ATM cards etc that contain names can somehow be traced or given to the nearest bank.What about items like a wallet or purse with money and no means of identification, what do you do in this instance ?


U said it's forgotten item and it can't be traced.
Forget a forgotten item nah.
ABI u wan go kill the driver ?
