The hardship is no respecter of tribe, party or religion. This is how we should learn to vote.

This is just the preamble of the tinubulation. Let's brace up for a complete 8 years of untold suffering and hunger. Hopefully our brains will function better afterwards.

Wetin be lout again
A tout is someone who does business directly..
Like middlemen or so..it was a perfectly respectable term until Nigerians used it to term miscreants and vagabonds.

A lout is an aggressive person that typically uses fights or quarrels to convey attitude.
This is the proper terminology for agbero and garage denizens

I don't blame the drivers.

Fact is, Fuel availability & affordability has a rippling effect on prices of everything.
from the story, it is not the drivers that increased the fares but agberos who asked drivers to increase the fares.

it has nothing to do with fuel

Read again...
When our correspondent discussed the sudden fare hike at the bus stop, a driver who identified himself as Kazeem said he had filled his bus tank with fuel purchased from the black market.

“There’s no fuel available; the queues are too long. The fuel I’m using now was bought at black market prices. Do you expect us to charge the same rates?” Kazeem queried.

am sure you missed this part of the article.

“But unfortunately, as more buses arrived, the agberos kept telling the drivers to raise the fare. I’m shocked. This is pure wickedness,” Adewale lamented.

Joshua, a worshipper, who returned from church, informed our correspondent that the agberos were the main cause of the fare hike and urged authorities to find a lasting solution to the problem.

He said, “These individuals were dictating the fares to the drivers to increase their earnings. As the fares go up, they collect more from the drivers, leaving the passengers to bear the burden.”

You are looking at symptoms.
The root cause is fuel unavailability, which the driver complained about.

Passengers should stop lamenting and start refining their own petrol if they want cheap transport fare grin grin

This country is totally gone and BAT is just doing nonsense up and down. Not one single problem has been solved since he assumed office.
we deserved it, I warned my Yoruba people, some people DM me and called me a bastard Yoruba man
Re: Passengers Lament As Lagos Drivers, Louts Raise Fares by Yampotatocarrot(m): 10:58am On Sep 02, 2024
Na normal thing. Those touts tell drivers how much to carry passengers if you want to pick passengers from the park... If a driver decides to pick passengers from another location, they're ready to destroy the vehicle

Iyana-Ipaja/Agege Na him worse pass
