Obviously you have never worked in an office before grin that's why you compare office chair work to driving


It’s the closest situation I could use in citing my example. If you have a better one then please chip in, I’ll be much obliged.

See, there are caterpillar drivers, trailer drivers, train drivers, luxurious size bus drivers, crane drivers, barge/ship drivers, aero plane drivers etc. but you singled out only vehicle taxi drivers that would grow old and develop health issues because of their career in driving vehicles? Why??

Apart from driving don’t you think there are other jobs that require an individual to sit at a spot for long hours between breaks? Even in more uncomfortable situations?

There were taxi drivers before I was born and there will still be taxi drivers after I die but till today I have never seen any old person who drove a taxi for a living and got lame or blind because of it.

If you want local hard facts about this issue then be opportune to visit a taxi union meeting/get together around you whenever they meet. Calculate how many blind or lame people you see.

If you like count those wearing glasses as blind and those with walking sticks as lame, just peruse your figures and know your truth.

I know many retired drivers and none have sight or leg issues aside natural ones like glaucoma, arthritis etc which also happens to most other people. So why stereotyping taxi drivers?

My point exactly is what if I end up buying another radiator but find out it's something else that is responsible. I'd like to start with the little things like radiator cap, water pump, probably washing the radiator as well...

Look closely on the map if you can see traffic directions on the map.
When I said pay attention, this is one of them.

I think most drivers want to maximize their profit which is why some of them damage their health.

If i wan hit the road early, and no leftovers from yesterday to chop. I dey carry something put for under my seat could be slice bread and butter or something you can easily munch on while waiting for request.

E dey hard sometimes to commot from money wey never complete to spend, if you no chop dey drive 15hours straight(inside lagos). The effects on your body might not be instant, but it will surely tell on your body with time.

Odu is close to Egbeda and there's nothing unsafe about the place

Baba some people are just obsessed with this ehailing negatively and I will not respond to anybody that has chosen his own path and destiny. Some of them even say they will have pot belly, pile, spinal cord problems and low sperm count as a result of driving...they say as as man thinketh so he is. So all man and his kettle of fish.

You are wrong with your assertion.

Keep your eyes open for signs while driving and you shall pay no one.
Your experience with driving in lagos will also determine how you pay.

Many of the drivers never had experience driving on lagos before taking up uber driving hence why a lot of you would say you must pay fines.

I haven't paid anyone since 2018 I have been driving on the platforms.

If na me talk this one now, d cabal will rise up and say we no dey like talk negative experiences, that how can someone drive in this Lagos and not pay police or lastma.
On this ehailing, one can work without paying police or lastma if you are cautious, observant, knowledgeable, patient and apply common sense sometimes. Except for "wetin u get for us" or "happy weekend Sir"

It's possible it can be a new development since Ola-Ogun lane is one-way too. But there must be a sign. If there is no sign to intimate the public about this new development then it's a scam. If we are watchful even on a road we r used to passing everyday, we will not fall victim.
What may have happened is he turned left from the lane of people going in towards Mr Biggs that's why they arrested him for oneway driving. That zone is notorious with task force, normal police and local govt thugs looking for who to catch for every slight mistake.
