Point of correction, Lagos is improving everyday. All thanks to uber idea. The state govt actually lacks this initiative. If they don't know what to do, others would teach them from outside.

lagos too has their own commercial boats.uber is just joining the Terminal
The terminal was built by lagos state, before Uber joined the terminal was already in operation with lagos boats. Visit falomo and see for urself

Anything American sets the standards for others to follow.

Just when I thought I have seen enough

Entering boat to work Hiaaaaaa!

I hope say A.C go dey sha

Lagos is At its worst right now. Never has it been so bad, so slow and uncoordinated.

blaque7:
pls is it around lekki -ajah area?

the terminal is in falomo ikoyi. I think lekki and Ajah will be included in their route

designking:
The only state in Nigeria witnessing real modernisation and innovation is Lagos State.

Every other state in Nigeria is a shithole and a waste of resources.

Makinde Tapoline Okada initiative made me lose hope in his capacity to innovate and modernise Oyo State.

The only state generating trillions on a near yearly basis in revenue...

You think Lagos is really modern??!... If a quarter of her income is fully utilized, that state will exceed Dubai... Same issue facing the states you are correctly slating.

What am I getting at??!... The entire country is a fvcking shithole, including Lagos!!! Nothing personal.

Can they give license to more companies to create competition which will eventually lead to reduce price

DaddyNimo:
so uber is a govt project too?
you're daft sir. very daft.

if lagos state government didn't build the Boat Terminal and station security personnel on water ways will Uber join them Mind u the boat Terminal was already in operation before Uber joined them.
You re the daft here

VanGun:
Wow

#Nigeria. Uber boats for commuters in Lagos started running today. The ride hailing service is being piloted for 2 weeks. About 4K people travel by boat into the city daily (source:Waterways Passengers Assoc) to avoid getting stuck in its notoriously slow rush - hour traffic.

When government no dey do anything. No initiative

Waiting for Uberjet....

This mediocrity has to stop, what does tinubu have to do with uber, does he own the company? Nigerians singing praises with the wrong chorus, instead of hailing uber for their initiative, you're here posting the picture of tinubu. This is why your leaders treat you like trash because you don't know when to praise and when to criticize. The other day, someone was praising obasanjo for bringing mobile telecommunications to Nigeria, what a shame

TheVictorious:
ARE YOU SURE THEY RIGHTLY ANSWERED THE QUESTION OF "WHAT CAUSES LAGOS TRAFFIC?"


Or just another Nigerian business founded on hope and motivational talks

Pray tell, what causes Lagos traffic? Please educate us.

Waiting for Uberjet....

There's already one in the works set to launch in January.

mamatwiny:
Are you blind to see that he is building flyovers to ease traffic? And more roads too?

I doubt you live in Rivers state. Besides, uber is not a government investment. You can replicate such business in Rivers and earn money for yourself.

Don't allow me to give you one odumeje's quote now.

One wetin?

You wan kill am?

Lagos State government built those jetties. They've provided the enabling environment for serious business people to flourish.

tosyne2much:
N500 X 35 persons on a trip equals to N17,500 for just a trip

A boat could run up to 20 trips on the average per day. Now use your tongue to count your teeth

20 trips haba? They are doing two trips per day. People use that route early in the morning and in the evening during the close of business.

nice way forward only if the govt would place their heavy duty eyes on the growinp firm.

Governors in Nigeria have used flyovers and roads to blind people from other modernities.

Keep clapping ur hands for flyovers being built ok

Nigeria is Improving everyday, No matter how much we deny it.

It is also retrogression even at a much larger speed

Just sharing information. If you are too proud or politically biased to accept that, it's your problem not mine. I'm not here to play APC-PDP politics. Just stating the facts.

Which Lagos state lacks such idea? Lagos state construct those jetty for water transportation before UBER join so get ur facts well.

in 2014, a friend of mine came from UK with a viable proposal to take over sea transport in lagos but Fashola's people turned it down. They now redesigned the proposal to suit their selfish ends. It didn't see the light of the day. We later found out that somebody suddenly shipped into the country some fairly used commercial boats to ferry people around, some of which later capsized and the case died there.

Ambode actually wanted to do something similar by constructing the jetty you mentioned. It's good to know uber is helping out though.

ednut1:
500 naira Hope they will have money for maintenance like this

I believe they won't be transporting one passenger at a time due to the terrain.

Correction:

Nigeria Lagos is Improving everyday.

Nigeria on the other hand is becoming a dumping ground for African refugees.
