Government dey their back

What could have caused the protest? Could it be because of excess charges from "Owomida" crew?

what is the the issue, problem everywhere

Chaos is synonymous with tinubu

I used to think it was kowope.

...but what does korope even mean?

That is probably because of Nurtw people

Korope are those small buses used for transport.

What sort of half baked journalism is this

Why are they protesting?
Who gave them the go ahead to block major road?

Everybody just mad for this country sha...even without protest, u will use several hours on the road...not to talk of when there's protests

Korope drivers don vex. Protest continues tomorrow. 😁😁😁

Even with excess charges, who you think say dey truly pay? Na passengers


We pay for the fare and the owomida.

Without the excess forced charges, transport no go cost reach as e dey so...

Maybe they're talking about "let the passenger complete" not let the money complete...

Let me go ask Yoruba people.

Tinubu wants to use tax and levies to finish lagos bus drivers

No light for almost a month in a country born since 1960,
Like they say , A f00l at more than 40 is a f00l for eternity

Seeing some comments up there makes me wonder if everything is Tinubu Or Tinubu


Must everything be associated with PBAT??

It was caused by NURTW levies and other touts at each junction

Hmmm, even me Yoruba never thought of it that way. Korope meaning take complete passengers

And they'll still want them to file tax on top of all these expenses

What is their demand? Extortion? It's too much

I was in the eye of the storm this afternoon
Version 1: Protest against uniformed brothers and sisters clampdown
Version 2: Protest on the exhorbitant as usual..... owomida

Their touts locked up everywhere today, but if it were normal people that protested, the police would have killed at least two. They don't want progress.

Special adviser on transportation (sola giwa) to sanwo olu wants to take them off from major road, or they will be paying for sepcial tocket, which was made by the, i guess that was the protest...
