Yes ooooooo

Before 1999, everywhere in Lagos was bush. No single development until 1999. Everything you see in Lagos was built from 1999 - 2007.

Your recent tfare are overstated.

For example, constain go Ikeja is 700
Costain to ikeja used to be 400-500 about 2yrs ago

2 yrs ago Costain to CMS went from 200 to 300 and even 500 on bad days, I wonder how much it will be on similar bad days now.

The Agberos, nurtw, Lagos house agents, Omo onile, etc. don't feel these hikes, as all their burden is added to the charges that responsible people are being forced to pay!
Re: Crazy Transport Fares In Lagos by SamuelLoch: 7:29pm On Jan 01, 2025
Update:
CMS to Costain is not N300.
Previously N200, now N500. Some days ago, it was N1,000.

Does T-Pain not have a palliative bread distribution center there huh

Glimpsetv:
A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.

Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.

Some of the figures are exaggerated though.
I commute some of those routes on a regular basis. Mainland precisely.
I paid 1k from Badagry to Mile 2 this morning. Conductors will size you before they give you price. Me and you can enter motor from the same bus stop and pay different prices. That's Lagos for you.
But still, transportation fare is on the rise.

Where is the lie in that, since T-Pain has failed to deliver on the promise of crashing fuel price huh

Was the price not N87 under Jonathan and PDP when minimum wage was 18k? This was when loquacious Fashola wailed for a reduction in price as part of his campaign for APC change that is now showing us shege.

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

Island is not for the weak
Are you sinator Remi Tinubu by any chance huh

What an insensitive piece of shit she is.

BeeBeeOoh:
The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to be hard-working, saying, “There is no food for lazy man.”

Mrs Tinubu said this during a courtesy visit to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday.

She noted that while the Tinubu-led administration is working hard to provide sustainable solutions to the current challenges facing the country, Nigerians should also work hard to provide for themselves.

The first lady maintained that the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed and called for patience with Tinubu’s administration.

Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.

“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.

“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.

“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.

“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.

“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”

Is that why we allow T-Pain to squeeze us out of more taxes for the opportunity of buying presidential jet, yacht, Escalade, SUVs for himself and other people in his a-looter administration huh

[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Best bet, is to stay where you work from Mondays - Thursdays and come back home on Fridays evening to avoid pocket sapping transport fare.

If you know you can't stay where you work, go get a bicycle and commute in peace.

If you're earning N200k - N300k, nah transport fare go finish you, coupled with the traffic jam wahala. In short, how many people earns up to that amount in Lagos as salaries?

Lagos is not for the faint hearted...Why not relocate to a more friendly and economical state to have peace of mind?

Cheers!

That's not true!

I was born in Lagos in the 70s and Lagos was already developing. No bush as perceived.

I went to primary and secondary school and everywhere was already running.

N50 increment in fuel price will translates to N200 increment in public transport in Lagos.

I've never seen a city so unorganized in my life, the government have no single control of the transportation system in Lagos... It's control by agberos and drivers.

As of 2020 Lekki phase 1 to Costain was N200, today is 1k with abeg.

Profiteering is silently doing more harm than the removal of fuel subsidies. While we are quick to sentimentally blame leaders, we often overlook the greed of the followers

You're right. Transpoters ìn that axis are wicked in increasing transport fares anyhow. Besides, the OWOMIDA gangs too are major culprits for the increase and the government is mute.

From Ajah to Lekki is about ₦2,000
