cheesy

i just came to check the name of the lawmaker and his state of origin

I expected it, to be honest . Theres something called "Groupthink". People from same area tend to act same way to same issues

You're a disgrace to critical thinking. So send. Elisha that slapped a woman is also from "that area"?

So he deserved 3 hot slaps for that?

I could say that this country has successfully brought out the "zoo" in a lot of us.
Take a second look at that driver. Just go back and take a closer look at that jarring face. Is he not looking like a primate? That guy looks every inch like a zoological mutant.., in which case, he was appropriately classified and treated.

People and power. Once an average Nigerian has some power, next is to oppress others you feel are beneath you.

Any small thing, I’ll lock you up. They’ll involve police. Things that ideally can be solved amicably, but ego and arrogance no go allow.
But they claim it’s only women who abuse power. Sounds like projection

I don’t support how he slapped the bolt driver!

but bolt drivers are the worst despicable drivers on the road,
-they are very rude
- they are the ones that sexually exploit female riders,
-never truthful
-Always looking for ways to cheat unsuspecting people

When Uber was the only ride app in Nigeria, those were days of descent drivers.
Bolt should include etiquette training for their drivers on how to approach their paying clients
Oga leave that matter and let's face the event... Was the so called law maker right?
Should that be the character your law makers possess?

Haha i really laugh you sir.. Do you not know that the man was caught on a camera assaulting and threatning life? And he is a public office holder..
Let me breakdown how this sort of cases work..

More than 10 different lawyers may have contacted the guy to defend him for free by now and share percent from the damages that may be paid thereafter.. Very soon you will hear a hefty sum being slammed on the lawmaker in charges that will be pressed soon.. The only easy way out of this is for the lawmaker to settle out of court. In that way he will spend his money but avoid jail.. Otherwise he will suffer the two in jail.. Go and ask senator Abbo of adamawa. I bet he had done more good deeds than this guy..
And you think the well monied lawmaker will stand hands akimbo and allow that petulant rat to unravel his growing political profile?

You haven't heard from the lawmaker. Wait till he tells you his own side of "the story". Ofcourse, well paid lawyers would have garnished everything.

What if you are told that the hungry friver pushed the man first?

While violence must be unequivocally condemned, we must also avoid hasty judgments.

The bolt driver stated that he was struck three times and had his clothes torn to shreds simply for requesting that the lawmaker, Ikwechegh, step outside to collect his package.

We must also await a response from the lawmaker to achieve a more balanced understanding of the situation.

The lawmaker deserves respect as a prominent figure in this nation, and we must exercise caution in addressing these matters.

Is it everything you people must do both sides?. What balanced view? There is no reason to hit someone

On the contrary, if you see what these bolt drivers passes through, im sure you will not be making this disparaging remark about them.
Before i japa, i ran bolt business for some months in lasgidi and what i saw should never be discussed in public space for sanity.
Please cut some slack for those riders!


If you must know any bolt driver is also an uber driver. They are not different. They have the two apps running on their device which they switch from time to time depending on surge

Bolt driver has made it cheesy cheesy grin

This is how some destiny helpers come cool cool cool

He will be settled well say 10m or more n he will come on air to claim they have settled the matter.

You remembered Oshiomhole n the widow he told to go and die n how it was settled?

Once you have big money you can buy even INEC, police and court in Nigeria.

The Rep member is sure a mad man, and will be paying for it, I trust social media will help this guy get justice; but you see that nonsense last paragraph of yours, better delete it, you can't be rendering an executive service for which you're being paid a premium for the service and not be respectful to your client! That your last paragraph is that of those drivers with "Na condition make I dey drive bolt" and they're never respectful, if that condition can't make you to be humble in rendering your service to your client, then stop driving on bolt app. Nonsense mentality



Judolisco:
I disagree, First uber drivers and bolt drivers are the same.... It's jst an app.... And all this things you listed about the drivers can also be said about the passangers....

I've driven bolt before and I met rude passangers, I was defrauded many times by people who sent fake transfers....

Bolt drivers are not your slaves and they don't owe you any respect, their own na to carry go your destination, then you pay them... No be you buy motor for them

Naa! Nothing will be settled, infact, the uber driver should be afraid, he may disappear as the senator said

Just wait and see

This things have happened before now they may be trying to settle as we talk here.

Money can settle everything that is why money is a must in this life.

Remember Pastor Paul Enetche n the national open University Lawyer, how was it settled?

It's very easy to clean any mess with big money involved.

Big Money - if he refuses settlement big man will still hire SAN to face him in court.

what makes the legislator a VIP?

how does telling him to come and collect his goods outside amount to being rude?
You are very dumb for asking that question.
A federal legislator is an elite and vip all over the world. Did you attend secondary school at all?

He said he will make him disappear. Do you know the import of that statement? I do not think he deserves any atom of respect. A law breaker deserves no respect IMO.

But I understand this is Nigeria.

Okay. That is if the senator will be willing to pay. He might refuse to pay, he appears arrogant.

It's hard for me to defend any bolt driver. I have seen a shege in those guys' hands. The first time I was forced to create a topic on this forum, was to express my anger about their unprofessional behaviour.

https://www.nairaland.com/5508526/uber-driver

At the same time, I can't defend any Nigerian politician or government appointee. Those guys are mannerless and power-drunk! And they know that nobody will hold them accountable for their actions.

But then, this is my little submission... As a man, who has been around the Nigerian hustling terrain for many years, there are unfortunate situations that you can turn to your favour.

You just have to use wisdom!

All this "It's my right, It's my right" won't take you anywhere. A little humility won't take anything away from you.

98% of people who are supporting the bolt driver through their keypads and posts that are about to start flooding our social media space could have handled the matter differently.

If you're expecting justice in this matter, maybe you think Nigeria is the US or UK.

Wake up! It's an animal farm.
So he should have taken the snails to his kitchen to show humility right? Someone that use to make people dissappear. In this country if u form humility them go kill you troway like chicken. How will you enter a house you don't know. Doesn't he have maids why didn't he order the maids to go pickup the stuff.

You are part of the people that I say Nigerians deserves the type of leader they get. People like you are the reason you are suffering from the hands of T Pain.


Once you fail to hold your leaders accountable for their actions. The society starts to fail and chaos will be the order of the Day......

Regardless of what happen the lawmaker as no right to put hands on anyone, unless the law maker his defending himself. I don't see such in this case and the lawmaker should be held to a higher standard.

In the video you can clearly see and hear the lawmaker threaten the Uber/bolt driver. Which alone is a criminal offense. The lawmaker stated that nothing will happen to him. And he boasted that the head of police will not do nothing.. He has already stated directly/indirectly he is above the law...


For you now to say that we should wait for the lawmaker side of story, shows me that you are part of the problem in Nigeria. You are perfect example of why Nigerians deserves the type of leaders they have now and the economical hardship they are facing...

I pity nobody.........
