These people will never be truthful.

How does this affect transporters. Dem wan tell this ancestor and everyone else say people dey treck massively now?

Awón werey...

Whatever happens, na we the people dey feel am.

Even the unnecessary tariffs everywhere in the country, na passengers dey pay. Or you think one transporter go dey nice enough to cut his profit for you? Go figure, they'll make additional profit as the fare increases.

So someone like me wey e neck don face one place, I no fit agree with this kind falacy. The write-up is nonsense and does not speak about the real people suffering from their nonsense. As usual, there's always something to hide but the masses no dey always dey aware.

Smh
Guy as a transporter in Lagos, I can tell you that our income reduced drastically. The only people that increased their Tfare a bit are people plying within the street or loading at the park or garage. There they can easily speak to each other and increase the price. But for we plying the express road and doing Pick up (SOLE), it is just a slight increase in price and many times, no increase at all.

Instead of you to run empty, you just have to carry them. Like Ikeja to Ojuelegba/Stadium used to be 700 during rush hour, presently it is 800, if buses are much self, people will still insists on 700. One will just have to pick them instead of wasting time or going empty. Some people will still price you sheraton in Ikeja to Yaba 500/600.

My income reduced drastically.

Hey bruv, please take it easy on yourself. You are much stronger than you think and you don't need to exit quietly because you still have a great future ahead, if you will just hold on to hope and God's word. We can talk about anything you are going through, a problem shared is half solved.
🙏🙏🙏

Shut your mouth. Those are the basics required for survival. Do you even know what "all is well" means"?
You obviously don't even know where I'm coming from...you don't grasp the import of my feedback to the quote posted. And sarcasm seems not to sit well with you or could it be you don't recognise one when you read or hear it?

All that vitriol in your comeback does nothing to hide the truth of my words...a man describes himself a "corpse", paints a picture of utter financial hopelessness (not mental or health as these individuals can come online and lament ...ask for help albeit not the best way) and has done this in other threads (claimed he has a job in some other thread and thereafter launched into his "self-pity" discourse) yet has the "means" to afford net-time (sic), a cell phone (never mind how "basic" according to you) and even time.and energy to be on NL to.read and comment on topics.

Let me paint a picture of someone who's truly a corpse and financially bankrupt as insinuated by the OP:

1.His thought EVERY morning is where to get the next meal as he's totally broke.
2. He lives day to day. Knowing that if he doesn't go to that building site to use pans to carry sand atop his head he'll starve for that day
3. He has no job whatsoever.
4.He has no cell-phone (uses a torchlight phone if any)
5.What's his business with NL? A man thinking of the next meal? Wetin concern am with wetin dem dey talk for NL?
6.Even as I type this, this morning, his stomach growls and he's doubled down in pains from.pangs of hunger, so, he has to get up and get something...any thing. God help him if he has a family!
7.Lest I forget, he has no "house" to return to save you want to call the kpako built on stilts about some waterside a "home"
8.Electricity? that's a luxury. He's used to living without it.
9.He lives on Bets (his lack of formal education (if not educated) does not prevent him from understanding the intricacies of.placing a bet). NECESSITY made him understand terms like Odds (wanna play with hunger?)
10. His wardrobe consist of what you'd term rags (a collection of threadbare fabrics worn with use and repeated laundry in the attempt to look neat and possibly civilised) but to him these are great clothing.

I could go and on to describe what a "corpse" as intended by the OP means but I'd stop here. So, before you just get and and decide to be the knight in shining armour, here to save the "poor" OP from "oppressors" like me, take time to read and UNDERSTAND where the other chap is coming from. You guys use emotion a lot in your discourses. Be objective in your take on issues and please anstain from insults.

The chap I quoted might just be better of coming out the closet and plain beg for money on the forum instead of masquerading this intent with words to elicit emotions (obviously, it worked on you) and whatnot. If he's financially hopeless as he claims in his comments, then he might as well forget about "pride" and do the needful.

Enjoy the weekend.

These apc people no get shame at all. You put Nigerians into untold hardship yet unah get mind won gather to select another set of thieves in Abuja.

God, surely apc must gather tomorrow but the gathering is not of God they must scatter.

God prove to your servants that you still reign in the affairs of men.

Send down brimstone and fire let it consume the 32 and over 8,000 criminals including that wicked strategist of failure.

Master strategist my ass.
.. that is why the apc and Tinubu are destroying the opposition parties because they know they have failed and Nigerians are not happy with their bad governance.. they do not want Nigerians to have other alternative parties to vote for only to vote for them ..that is why they are destroying opposition parties
