Drivers are gathering at National Stadium Surulere. They are requesting rides to lure drivers to meet them there

I told the one that made me waste my time to atleast inform me but they rained curses on their village juju when I told them I was not going to stay. One said I go die and I replied 'won't we all'

So, if you get a request inside stadium, check well well

Sincerely I wish them and myself well. From personal experience, protests yields little or no results

E go better

Bro but we have to make a stand. The power is in the hands of drivers

Glithronix:
Nothing go work, bro.
It is futile to expect this kind of movement to make them increase price.
Those app. coys are crazy and only care about their commission and competition.



Much respect, boss.

My bro but what to do naaa...these prices are wicked from d pits of hell. We need to stand together honestly cause iz becoming annoying.

Driver own the cars not app companies. We maintain and fuel so we sud call d shots.

Iz cause we drivers are not united imagine we moved as a unit. As a true union. Even pengassa frustrated Abacha with strike. If we are one honestly the app companies will start begging drivers and would listen.

Iz sad honestly

ebiye55:
This is the protest, or so

I think

No not protest but to plan d protest proper. I'm guessing dere will be a mega protest in October

Honestly there is no need complaining of poor fares if we drivers won't sacrifice. Everything has been increased across board so y not e hailing. Riders must not use d app dey can use keke or bus anyone who wants to use d app sud pay. 550naira/km sud be d base fare

Some said iz slavery work so y doing a work that devalues you? Me I'm proud of my work and anyone who enters my car is forced to respect me no matter who you be. Slavery starts from the mind. Whatever a man thinks so he is. If u believe u r not a slave then u r not. That belief will make you act accordingly.

But drivers are already defeated. When a man looks down on his own source of income. I mean something that puts food on ur table u speak of it like thrash how will u ever get something better. D universe is watching.

We must sacrifice if we ever want to smile doing this job and if we are not willing to sacrifice then pls let's stop complaining of poor fares and embrace the struggle

When they gather finish, they will still go back online and accept the ridiculous price.

Drivers need to just learn how to use inDrive, don’t accept nonsense price to start bargaining, leave the nonsense trips and the riders will be forced to increase once no 1 is accepting their price.

Hmm very true bro

It's all in the hands of government. Normally, There should be standard fees for cabs set by Lagos government, but they will not impose it because they are already in the business themselves, it is to their benefit that other competitors chicken out and they get more control.
Who is the winner when it comes to Uber exit? It's lagride. The best standard closest to Uber is lagride and zero cab.
If the drivers make enough noise to get enough attention, then the government may set the standard.

i greet u boss,

on the issue of CNG, i see u dey enjoy yours and i’ve got some questions pls

where did you run your conversion??
how much for corolla 1.8L presently??
minus jokes and exaggeration how much do you make from filled 65L tank??
what are the regular maintenance issues with cng and how much?

How much one makes is relative to how one works. Some days are good, some days are annoying. Buying gas this days b like better war.... Little or no maintainance dats if u have a sound car with sharp plugs and coils... 65L from Mr jide is 650k now . But u will drop ur nin as this is government subsidize cng package.

Most of these ride-hailing drivers are fools and lacking dignity. Ask them to down tool for a few days, they'd come up with all sort of pathetic excuses why they must drive to earn pittance on the apps. Bloody sods!!.

As if they are the only ones with bills to pay. I just moved into a new apartment about 3 weeks back, you know what means. In the last 2 months I have spent 1.5-odd million naira on my car in the last 2 months and still counting, Yes, I'm still counting because right at this moment I'm stuck on the side of the road with serious overheating. Can't even drive 10 minutes without the engine overheating, the power steering pump is just leaving, it's actively pouring out oil, and my AC hasn't been cooling since yesterday. But ask me to down tool, as a form of protest, against these apps right now for 2 weeks I'd gladly oblige.

We just can't continue like this. Something has been to done. It's almost October, and I have been unable to save 200k this year so far. Money wey person dey make in a week before.

Baba Govt will never set standard, Apps should do that. Take for instance minimum wage is 70K but people still pay their staff less than N50,000 salary for monthly work. Govt need to regulate all sectors of labour if the economy is to balance.

Now people who use only Bolt are stranded waiting for drivers for 2-3hrs. Drivers know better. They will tell you "ALL OUR DRIVERS ARE CURRENTLY BUSY" when they blocked everyone and chase them to go offline with ridiculous prices.

All the strikes and protests you people have been doing, what has it changed?


If drivers can just learn how to use inDrive, believe me, all this riders will adjust, just ignore trips that doesn’t offer good price and see how the rider will willingly increase the fare.

For the app companies, it's all about survival for them too, they don't care an inch about drivers. They want to get more riders by reducing fares and make more money as their commissions are not affected at the expense of the drivers. Government is looking the other way too. If all sectors are regulated, things go balance, money will flow, you won't pay a mason that work the whole day N15,000. Which is just a little above $10, when someone elsewhere around the world earns over $10 an hour. Politicians won't like that, big businesses won't either. Ever wondered why the stinkingly rich do not japa? The system pays them cos Labour is too cheap in Nigeria. It's too cheap to live here, not real laws, our laws na for mouth.
Make Una de play. It's going to get more worse. The system is just taking advantage of all you fellas. Find a side hustle, cos this situation has come to stay somehow and may not go away anytime soon.

Exactly my point, not to be pessimistic. But see how Govt act nonchallant to labour problems. Nigeria Labour Congress is toothless and useless. Remember how many months ASUU & ASUP will strike for Salaries and salary increment but the govt wont raise a finger or feel bothered. How do you want them to show priority and attention to ehailing? Only the app companies can make that decision by increasing Base fares. Govt wont do anything.

Not so funny right ..

I believe ur questions have all been answered. No maintenance if your car is sound d only thing I did before conversion was wash my engine. I haven't changed plugs or coils.

I used Mr Jide also.

Every professional body has a standard of operation and a strong Union in Nigeria Because we are not united hence our issues.

If drivers down tools for one day trully the app companies will be on their knees. The strikes were ineffective cause dere is no strong Union.

Is there any business that is not regulated in Nigeria. Where pricing is open? Even vulcanizers agree on pricing and stick to it y not us?.

Doctors lawyers musicians folks have standards and expected pricing y not us. Anyway app companies are lucky that Nigerian drivers are never united hence the struggle continues

No it does not work that way, riders know how to search all the E-hailing apps for the lowest prices, bolt will offer ridiculous prices to entice the passengers, then offer the driver at the end of the trip some funny bonus or compensation.

There are no uniform pricing bro, what a Clinic will charge you at Ikoyi, is different from what a clinic will charge you at Okokomaiko, or dopemu, what Davido will charge you is different from what Portable will charge. What a SAN will charge you is different from what a charge and bail lawyer will charge you.
It is painful that even if you have been driving for 8 years and above, your earning is not different from someone who just started 1 month ago, those are the oddities of this business.
It will be difficult for us to be united, some drivers are part time, some are full time, some drivers depend on this hustle solely for their survival, some drivers have other alternative means of income, some drivers are okay driving only 2 to 3 days in a week, so how do you expect to unify the drivers. Goals and Objectives of all drivers differ.

Not entirely true sir. Hospitals in Ikoyi charge around d same for procedures while does on d mainland charge about d same. Even d highest charge still has a benchmark. What u described is categories of services. Premium and basic. And that's the standard with every service premium and basic.

U won't find one premium hospital not at peer with other premium hospitals. Same with SANs. SAN generally have a price list of course not all charge d same but there is a benchmark.

Davido is a premium musicians and he and his likes charge about d same thing .

All I'm saying is all these professions have something in common. Dey can all sit down and discuss the general progress of their professional and set benchmarks either intentional or otherwise.

These professions have one voice that can call its members to industrial actions were necessary to force their welfare. All these e hailing lacks cause we don't see it as a profession but trash

I agree with u that it will be difficult to achieve 100% mass action cause of those issues u raised which are very valid but as other professional bodies we actually need a strong Union. Besides even 50% of drivers are enough to achieve the desired result.

Well until we see this as a noble profession that needs regulation rather than a one night stand, there will be no progress in sight. For many iz just a way to survive at d moment these are d lots that actually spoil d business cause there is no loyalty to it
