“Igbo People Stop Demonizing our Transporters” (MUST READ!)

By Emeh James Anyalekwa

I have read lots if gibberish by my Igbo brothers and sisters, including the educated ones pouring venom and demonizing our brothers in the transport business for hike in fares during the yuletide.

During my elementary economics, I was taught that demand influences price both positively and negatively. Higher demand higher price and lower demand lower price.

I was taught that these market forces help to keep the market in equilibrium, without which the market will crash.

I understand that Nigeria operates a free market system except in some sectors that are partially price regulated.

You don’t expect transport company operator to charge same amount from Lagos to Aba during Xmas when traffic on that rout is at it’s peak with Lagos to Kano with very minimal traffic.

If they do, the business will crash!

The traffic from Lagos to Aba will triple because more people will be able to afford it.

There will be no buses to carry the surging travelers.

But due to the hike in price, some intending travelers who have nothing doing in Lagos would travel earlier when prices were lower.


Those who don’t have important reason to travel will stay back in Lagos.

Some transporters on Lagos to Kano rout will channel their buses to the Lagos – Aba rout.

Transporters will be motivated to run with less passenger at lower price or even empty from Aba back to Lagos because there is less traffic from Aba to Lagos during the Xmas.

These will help to reduce the pressure on demand in Lagos.

I have not mentioned the delay on road due to hold ups occasioned by the high traffic.

It may interest you to note that flight from London to Lagos tomorrow 24the December ranges between N750,000 to 1,000,000. The same London to Lagos on 16the January will drop to N170,000.

Igbo people are enterprising, that is one of our strengths not weakness.

Stop joining others to demonize our people for nothing.

And you stop worshipping them.

The issues people have with them is not so much about fare but more about professional customer service.
They all with , exception of a few , lack customer service
They treat customers like trash, all they care about is your money not your comfort...no business grows that way.
That is the reason they remain static... One would expect a transport service like Ifesinachi or Young to venture into Airline and dominate but, no! They would rather remain in their cocoon at Jibowu for the next 100 donkey years

Customer should be king, but their own customer is trash.
The service they provide doesn't Commensurate with money been charged.

Warship:
Anyone who thinks the Transporters are greedy, should open up his or her own Transport company and keep his price low.

My POINT is why are all these people Traveling
Thought they have always said that WITCHES full village and now they are traveling to join issues with same witches

Chukazu:

The let's address the issue: customer service not fare.

Also, not every transporter wants to go into air.

Peace Mass is into air, he is Igbo.

Lalasticlara why this point wont make front page?

Greedy people taking advantage of Nigerians.

Blessynokoro:

Saying" customer service is not fair" doesn't address the issues, except you are their agent

Get your facts right.the said Airline doesn't belong to peace mass

The downfall of human beings is their excessive greed,shege,waka,brocodio on any greedy thief here.

dominique:
They're too greedy jare. How can Lagos to Owerri be 15k while Lagos to Sokoto (which is a two day trip) be just 8k? My neighbour is contemplating traveling to Enugu this year because of the fare. The greedy transporters are taking advantage of the high volume of travellers and are hiking the ticket prices. There's no fuel scarcity, no increase in fuel prices, traffic can't be so bad that you will spend hours on the road. so the hike makes no sense.

Which kind bias be this? If this post is Igbo bashing, it would have made front page teh teh.

@Lala... Pls do the needful. Two Xmas snake for u tomorrow � � �

Nonsense post. They are very greedy in terms of making money and can even sell their own brother when money is involved. Why must you hike the transport to that high because of traffic? This time, no fuel hike and you guys still have to jack up the price. Only greed can make someone act the way easterners treat their own brothers.When they see you in danger, that is the time to make money.

If you are in any danger and you meet an Ibo man who runs transport to help you, you are on your own. If you are doing business and you happen to get a shop and pay in Lagos and another Igbo man discovers that the site is lucrative for business, he will pay double of the amount to take over the shop.

he is saying the truth, demand influence cost. increase in price reduces demand proportionally, thus creating demand and supply control. i' ve applied it in my business and reaped effectively.

those who emulate them are also successful
