Livecamp09: Yeah right. Easy for you to say. How is a transport company supposed to protect passengers from kidnappers. That should be the duty of the government, Federal mainly, and States to some extent. I think the company tried by offering to pay half of the ransom. The poster, I feel, is being unreasonable. |

Livecamp09: How are the companies being negligent? Are they responsible for the increased insecurity on our roads? Does the insurance cover for payment of ransom in kidnap cases (I doubt)? |
Re: My Brother Was Kidnapped And G.U.O Motors Is Silent by executive12: 2:44am On Dec 27, 2019 |
Livecamp09: Which one is public transport and which is private transport? Do you expect the transport companies, whether public or private, to take up the responsibility of paying for ransom when passengers are kidnapped? |

sammirano: You should set up a transport company to practice what you preach. If your company will be paying the ransom when your passengers are kidnapped, I am sure your company will be getting almost all the passengers on your company's routes. And we'll see how long you'll remain in business. |

Ishilove: Exactly. I wonder how anybody will be blaming a transport company whose vehicle, driver, and passengers are kidnapped. And the company even offered to pay half of the ransom. Nigerians and their irrational mindset. |

People mentioning insurance, I hope you know insurance is specific. Passengers are usually insured against motor/vehicular accident and the total payout for treatment/compensation is rarely above 100k. If the insurance contract does not cover kidnapping, there's nothing the insurance company can do. As it is, no insurance company would insure against kidnapping. Just the same way they all refuse to sell insurance cover against herdsmen to farmers |

BREYZ: You are just ranting. Just pray that you or a relative of yours don't fall into the hands of kidnappers. You want to sue a transport company whose driver and passengers were kidnapped, together with their vehicle, and which offered to pay half the ransom? If you need to sue, your lawsuit should be directed towards the Federal government, and the appropriate State government. It is their duty to provide security for all of us. The transport company should have been forthcoming with information for the affected families though. They need to work on their customer service. |

Badgers14: Because the "2 air crashes" might have been caused by a fault in the airplanes produced by Boeing. In this case, did GUO Transport cause their vehicle to be seized by kidnappers? |

fairfora: Nigeria is a very difficult terrain to do business. It is a jungle. We have to appreciate that and not pretend that we are in a developed or civilized environment. |

midnighter: You say "nobody is asking them to fork out millions"? But the op expected them to pay the whole ransom. Customer service was poor. But that is a Nigerian thing. It's rare to meet a polite Nigerian. |

midnighter: So GUO should have armed themselves and go face the kidnappers? Your inept government, both Federal and State are to blame for the insecurity on our roads. The transport companies are not the problem. Nigerians are generally unreasonable and usually unwilling to lay the blame at the appropriate entity. 1 Like |

executive12: executive12: executive12: You are really not serious; stop twisting my posts to suit your warped agenda. The incompetence of the government and the conduct of the individual transport company are two different issues. You are being a hypocrite. See how youre ready to jump to the defence of the transport company for their rude and uncooperative behaviour by making excuses and calling their bad customer service a "Nigerian thing" yet you want to hold the government to a high standard. Good! So by extension, insecurity and sorry roads are also a "Nigerian thing", nobody should take responsibility for anything and everybody should go and sit down. Let me ask you; who was the first point of contact in the story? The transport company who couldnt account for a paying customer or the abstract entity that is the "Nigerian government"? You cant shift your personal responsibility to your customers to the "government". The government didnt write policies telling you to be rude to people did they Next time you or your relative goes for medical treatment and the staff are messing up, I hope you maintain your "socialism" and allow them to finish you? When a bus conductor gives you the wrong change I hope you'll let him cheat you? I hope you never have any argument or disagreement with anybody ever again? Because after all, everything is the governments fault; even basic human interactions should be monitored by the government smh youre not serious at all |

You really don't understand what owning a business means. Just travel outside this country to the western world and see for yourself. Try open a small business. Company make losses and profits, some go bankrupt. Every company must have a plan to mitigate potential risks. edoairways: |

Government must mandate all this GUO and other transporters to install CCTV and dashboard cameras on their buses. you will see most of this criminals will be removed from society. |

executive12:No place in earth is juicy to do business. Adaptation is very key. Nigeria is even much better with the kind of tax system in place. I'm an entrepreneur so I can tell. The GIG's case is different. The most senior son put his hands into so many things. He went and opened a petrol retail business called Zeus all over, established a real estate company in america with other investments same time, leaving the cash cow which was the transport business unattended. No new buses were added, the existing ones weren't maintained. My staff and I travel with them alot especially to places where there's no flight or whenever we feel like traveling by road. In fact, we've been patronising them , since 2011. You can imagine their bus breaking down severally before reaching our destination. It has become a norm now. Their good drivers are leaving , staff too. The last time I boarded their bus from owerri to lagos, the bus was without an AC. While the likes of GUO were buying more durable toyota buses, the guy went and bought a prototype of benz sprinter from china. They breaking down already in less than a year. L'oba tan. I think its Africa thing. We lack good business orientation and strategy. If it's a pin that oyinbos are producing they would develop and expand it instead of being a Jack of all trades because others too are doing same. That's why african businesses hardly span 50 years before folding up and if care isn't taking, GIG too would soon be a forgotten issue,now that the wife of the owner too is no more. The son no get sense at all. 1 Like |

It's better we abandon the roads and go for rail transport. Politicians neglect road transport but travel by air because they can afford it and that shows how unserious they are towards insecurity. The only think about their own safety |
