Not beat but impound their cars, this is a movement for all so why can't they comply?
When the app company heed to their demands, they will enjoy it too so why can't they comply to the majority.

Hedonini:
Fool. If you're not satisfied with the rates, why not quit the app and seek alternative means of livelihood? Why are you Nigerians so ridiculously idiotic and evil? Who force you do Uber or Bolt? I detest this entitlement mentality on top wetin no be by force. Very foolish animals, most of you.

Go and find work na. Go and start your own business. It is not by force to be an Uber or Bolt driver.

Don't miss poverty days abeg even baz001 has hustle and japa. Cheerful the mad king of ehailing netting 150k week in week out easily is tired of posting dashboard because he cant even post a net earning of 50k week in week out consistently any longer.

I actually feel sorry for people like you with your funny entitlement mentality . It is people like you that keep deceiving yourself into thinking you have some kind of right over something that is 100% not yours by any stretch of the imagination. Your type of people are too lazy to make the difficult but right decision of walking away and searching elsewhere, but instead you start dragging right over someone else's sweat and labour, or maybe you think people that own these companies just snapped their fingers and the company fell down from the sky and started operating.

To answer your question, what you see as wrong isn't seen that way by everyone, but you can do your part by walking away, if everyone does that what do you think will happen when there is hardly anyone to work for them?

Nature has a way of regulating stuff, there is the natural law of demand and supply and no one can do anything about it.
That people are desperate is no fault of the company and if there are more than enough people WILLING to work under certain conditions for reasons best known to them then its just the natural law of demand and supply taking its course. why do you think corporations source cheap labour from certain countries?

I am totally against any form of gang up to intimidate people that gave you a source of livelihood when you were jobless begging, applying and going through all sorts of scrutiny just to work for them. Now you are working and breathing small you are ganging because you want more. Simply walk away if you are not satisfied and go else where.

englishmart:
Where are you striking to? They will just allow you to strike for 6-weeks, by the time hunger touches you small, you will beg to call off the strike.
You think Nigeria works like the UK?

Mooh247:



Customers won't support you guys on this...

Fare increase means customers would pay more... As if Bolt/Uber is not already expensive enough

But in all fairness, with increase in fuel prices fares should never remain the same...

Vehicle maintenance cost is steadily on the increase, with Engine oil , Transmission oil and brake fluid all becoming expensive... vulcaniser would charge you ₦500 for what should have been ₦200

JeffreyJames:
Dey there dey speak grammar, don't face the reality on ground. Make I see who wan impound my car among Una, you go tell me wether Na your papa buy car gimme. You people with your useless union you created to enrich yourselves. Is not same you people that Lagos State government is using to market their stupid Lagride? You wan dey hear dey form wetin I no know. Lmao

foolbuster:
This strike is funny. It's not like the drivers are employees, they willingly accepted terms and conditions for using an app, now they want to form a cult to force a platform they willingly agreed to work with to bend to their will.

Not saying Uber and bolt are saints, but if you feel dissatisfied simply leave na aaa. Instead of forcing everyone, lolz. By the time they start facing driver shortages they'll surely do something to woo them back.

We already have a plan B that solve our equations, we have a new app that cover all for us in Abeokuta and Ibadan,
I will advise that we take a look at the new application that has been parading the country for quite some months now.
I will share the link to their website. Leeft.ca is their website. They are from Canada.
Download the app from https:///leeftdriver
I believe they have good plans for us as a driver
I was with the guys that plant this in Abeokuta, and the fare makes sense die

Since their last review in 2019 till date prices of things have changed... except Uber n bolt pricing... Prices of car has changed ... Corolla moved from 1.8M to 3.5M ... Prices of engine oil from 4k to 10k

Price of brakes... Shocks etc... Fuel from ₦124 to ₦165... Prices of total car maintenance including the food we eat... Yet they increased commission but won't increase their fare... they should return it to 10% or increase fare by at least 50%.

Drivers get kidnapped and killed almost on a weekly basis because there’s zero verification of passengers ID but to be a driver on these platforms you must provide every single ID you have. From NIN to BVN, passport, etc.

You won’t with your “lol” because you’re a Nigerian. Nigerians in general are already accustomed to suffering and smiling. Are you better than bolt drivers in USA, South Africa or even UK that went on strike over the same issues? You see why this country will never progress? The reason is because people like you live in it. People who don’t know when to say e don do.


God bless you for this comment. A country filled with hypocrites, that’s why we are the poverty capital of the world. The citizens have been so bastardized they don’t have any form of self worth anymore. We need a mass re-education and mental evaluation in this country.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
When I saw "entitlement mentality", the phrase which many ignorant Nairaland masochists use to justify their love for being oppressed, I decided to spare myself the trouble of reading your empty post. The right to protest and respect for the worker is part of the reason why many of you travel through the desert to Europe inspite of the many dangers linked to such a sojourn. Keep working hard to retain the 3rd world country status your country is ignobly know for.

Olayetan:
The ride isn't for everyone, take danfo or keke if you can't afford it.

Deinfante:
Cab Business is as Old as time, Bolt and Uber are just modified Agbero, their simple job is to use tech to link Drivers and Riders together, I don't understand what you mean, this is a parasitic relationship and not partnership as inscribed in the T&C signed

The Vehicle is ours, 100% maintenance is on the owner/driver of the Vehicle and most importantly, we absorb all the risks

Is this the definition of Partnership to you

I understand you're doing your Employees Bidding, but understand, it's our singular right to push them back to the drawing Board! Uber some years ago was very Arrogant, I want you to know they were humbled, and will soon be a thing of the past if they don't adjust! We are not forcing them! We want them to know that their days of using the "Divide and rule/donkey & carrot Approach" are over!

We won't use their App, we will continue earning on other Apps willing to actively partner with e-hailing drivers! Maintaining standard is not Cheap, so why the cheap fares! Are you aware the price for Corolla Engine is now 420k, that the moment you have issues, you are back to square one!!! This is a Breakdown for you so you understand this is a business and not charity! A trip from the Airport to Central business district is 4,100, you pay 200 toll, bolt or Uber takes 22.5% commission which is roughly around 902 naira, you pay FAAN 500 naira, then another 700 naira being cost of fuel, so from 4,100 your take home is 2,302 naira and you want us to maintain standard What's the Value of 2,302 naira! Please let's be serious

If you can't afford a certain life style, stay in your lane! But don't lecture people running a business on what or how to earn!

foolbuster:
Oga stop being lazy, go and huzzle and stop dragging right over someone else's property. The right to protest and respect for the worker is not the reason people are leaving the country, they are leaving because of the activities of corrupt individuals in position of power and the failed government of Nigeria.

BoltAndUberAbj:
77 naira price increase? Please be serious.

This is really a funny one! Customers won’t support you guys, since we are looking for cheap rides and fares. You guys are on your own..
