Why can't Faan purchase this cars and give it to the cab drivers to be paid back installmentally

Tinubu should stop forcing his hardship policies on Nigerians
They might already have their own people they want to introduce and run the business.

Make poor driver go cry one side because they know fully well that they can't afford 2020 cars.

You don't know how wicked those at the top of government are.

That is an option, the FAAN can open a loan line through CBN and merchant banks but the drivers themselves need to be committed.

No wander your life is the way it is now
I wonder if your life is the way it is for the area boy below huh

Meanwhile, have you received your daily bread palliative for today, since Tinubu is too clueless to create the 50 million jobs he promised, for people to earn a living in dignity, on the basis of 70k minimum wage huh

Lagos Resident Laments Economic Hardship, Hunger Under Tinubu, Confesses To Beating Elderly People, Others To Make Tinubu President

A Lagos state resident has lamented his inability to get petroleum despite beating people including the elderly to vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2023.

In a video posted on social media, he narrated how life had been hard for him despite all he did to ensure Tinubu became Nigeria’s President.

He said, “We wanted to buy fuel but we have been unable to get. They even beat us at the petroleum station. I was among those that beat people at Idi-Oro.

“We went from house to house, asking people to vote for you (referring to Tinubu). You emerged as the President and now you are destroying our lives. Getting food to eat is difficult for us.”

He noted that despite the hardship, different agencies in the state have kept milking them through taxation.

"I voted for Jagaban, I was among those that flogged people we refused to vote Tinubu at Idi-oro. We went from House to House attacking people who didn't vote for Jagaban, Today I am regretting”.

He said, “We are suffering in Nigeria, we have become lazy even in our own father’s land. We are drivers and that’s how we survive. LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Agency), VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) all collect money from us. Please Tinubu, do something about this hardship.

“We are the same people that beat up others so you could become the President. Some of them people we beat were our father’s mates, but we beat them up. We did that just because of you so you could become the President, and we kept saying it was our turn.

“Look at it now, the outcome is suffering, we cannot even buy rice again. You cannot buy N1000 food and be okay. I bought food of N1200 today and my kids have not eaten at home.”

He also expressed worry that he would be beaten for the comments he was making about Tinubu.

“I know that what I have said now, they will still come to beat me at home. I know that for sure,” he said.

FAAN can reduce the year to maybe 2016 models because Majority of them might not be able to afford it if they insist on 2020 car model


But the drivers also have other options
You are slower than a parked car.

My papa alone fit afford a vehicle of #100m
Glory be to God, lets even assume your father is Dangote is it you FAAN ask to buy 2016 car .
These is a conversation about the cab drivers, the target ...if they have 15million in there account will many of them still be doing cab driver ... Think use your brain
If you have 10m - 15m in your bank account na cab driver you go dey do make one tooth pick leg pocohantas dey insult you on wheels

No b everybody life be as your life b
dangote heir, please say it ...i am poor yesz ! Thats why i can relate n understand the cab drivers reasonably than you .. Infact you should shutup more cos you sound ridiculous when you ignore reality or feasibility

Be guided
You should be guided cos your level of stewpidity might not get you to cross main road safely
In the airport or e hailing business there is luxury service & regular ..let dangote offsprings go book G- wagon or whatever as uber and let the middle class book regular they can afford, let customers decide they have options

What have govt done to enable, Cab drivers save up 15m to buy car in this economy today ... Uber is not even lucrative anymore cos of high fuel price, Go out nd talk with people get a taste of reality, omo Dangote

The topic is about airport Uber drivers...not about me. My car is 2017 Corolla. But that should not make me lost my sense of reasoning like you have lost yours. How many Uber drivers in your state can afford 2010 Corolla, let alone 2016 ? Politics have taken over your sense of reasoning.

Exactly.
I was brought up with the mindset of working and praying to see things get better, but these guys are reserved to their poor state. They day dream of themselves being rich to soothe their sorrows.

It is a policy Keyamo and his airport gang sat in their room and formulated over bottles of alcohol.

It is not a LAW, and it will be challenged.

You can't tell Nigerians what kind of cars to drive. As long as the car is in good condition it should be good to go..

Let Road Safety people do their jobs.

So you don't know that there are car exterior upgrades and I'm discussing with you. Your type thinks the more expensive, the more genuine.

You clearly ignored the copart part right?

Honestly this is a good move because the safety of traveler are more important. If you can't afford it then do your cab driving elsewhere and not at the airport. Speaking from experience which I won't explain here.
. Which Safety is this one Taking About ..Toyota Corolla ,Tokunbo/ Foreign Used is Okay ..Good One Goes for about 8M ..

Even a Good User ,Nigerian Used ,Neat One Can get it for 6M .

Is Okay .

This is How we Encourage Just every Rubbish the Government Throw at Us .. Then,They Justify it by this Kind of Comment .
