For the time been,

This is what ive been doing since reading abiut all the pandemonic update concerning VIO.

Any rider I pick and observe is under 40 of age I ask h/h to seat in the front seat, if they refuse I cancel. Then I relate with the rider on d go giving them instructions.

Another thing is my car self na Civic, even riders I'm going to pickup don't even know I've arrice even when parked in front of them all they look out for is Corolla of same color b4 trying to check the No plate.
Nice one

Boss do they have permanent site at these locations, what if they read this and choose to change location?

They mostly station themselves very close to their offices and they close by 4pm. If they choose to change location, we will adapt accordingly. There will always be a way to survive in the jungle.

Evening house, trust our hustle paid off today ?
I want to narrate the ordeal i went through yesterday in the hand of an Old Baga who faked a transfer of 3100 naira .
Here's the story : I took this Jigolo from 17 Balarabe Musa, Vi to Oworo on a 1.5X Bolt surge at 10am yesterday . When we got to his street, he pretended to be nice by asking me to end the trip because the road that leads to his place is not motorable. I did and he asked if he could do a bank transfer, usually i don't grant that request but because we had good conversations all through the journey and he looked like a well to do elderly man, i obliged.
Called out my account details and he read out my name ,after which i saw saw transaction successful on his phone screen . He thanked me and we bid ourselves bye bye.
Long story short , this unfortunate slowpoke faked the transfer and all my efforts to get my money has been abortive.
Please guys, help me launch an attack on his phone number 09057031333.

Has he paid? Dude isn't taking calls. NEVER TRUST A RIDER. Let this rule always sink in especially for you guys on Bolt. For one rider that I do get his request when I'm leaving my house most mornings to drop-off at NPA, Marina. He usually gives 2k as tip all the time, twice this week. Lol. That's the kind of rider you can accept transfer from, not a sweet talking mofo that drops off on the road side.

How can you tell that my car is an Uber? My car documents are complete and duly registered. Once I have presented you with my documents, any other questions, I WILL NOT ANSWER. The pussies and the jittery uber drivers are the ones that will fall for this hackney permiand license BS. I don't know about it, never heard until uber makes it a prerequisite. I don't ever stop for these VIO guys anyways, no matter what.

Again, always scrutinize requests before going for pickups.

Chaos now the order of day.. clampdown on okada and keke hasn't finish now they are after technology driven hailing company uber, bolt and co.

Well this has been coming for a while and I believe this companies should have been lobbying powers that be for a favourable resolution.

When strike action may not b the way to go, meaningful dialogue and solutions providing should be the wayforward.


The Lagos state govt says there is a transport license coupled with other requirements that commercial taxi should have. Are they wrong to call uber/bolt and co 'taxi service's- NO... cause their is a payment receive and both parties (uber n driver) earn a fee.

Now the problem therein is what is govt getting from uber/bolt operation within the state?

A simple solution is not telling drivers to pay a 100k for transportation license which yellow buses and cabs dont pay (but they have a strong union which is govt approved), but every driver can pay a Tax on money earned to the govt. Now remember government role is to provide roads and other infrastructure, now this govt is telling me to pay a license fee to use the same road they provided for me - doesnt make sense. But if the tax identification number uber requests for during sign up is actually a verifiable one, every income by driver will be tax and govt gets their share to use for greater good of the state.


But goods news is that from reliable source from code of conduct burea ikeja, there will be a review of their transportation license and it may be reduce to benefit all parties. So watch out coming weeks

One more thing to add, drivers going on strike or protesting at Ubers office over this Lagos State issue, I don't think is the way to go. Uber and Bolt are helpless on this as well as you and I. The issue is that the oligarch that controls Lagos are trying to use every means possible to have everything that moves under their absolute control with the stream of money that comes with it. If they mean it, Uber and Bolt can become history just the way Okada and Keke went underground. They will in turn create a mediocre e-hailing platform and ask you to register with them, you will now have to battle with government officials and their touts. The rest will be history. There's a malicious and evil intent/undertone to all of this from the Lagos State government. Uber and Bolt may be hapless, may not be blamed if the eventual outcome of this does not favour their partners

Lagos people have long worshipped this Landlord such that he can now do as he wishes to lagosians.

This is the aftermath of unnecessary praise singing and sycophancy.

Same Lagos felt Opay and co were menace to 'New Mega city' plan but gave relevance and power to NURTW such that MC's NURTW were taking 400 naira daily on every ehailing bike when opay and Gokada were still operating.

I guess NURTW, Molue, thugs chasing buses on the roads to collect one fee or the other are aligned with mega city plans.

You r using ur head, same reason is why we must not play into dia box... Best is let vio use any means they can to identify driver as long as no one ask you to unlock your phone. Let's give them the benefit of doubt and see how barbaric they can go, if they will have to attach sarz and illegally be searching people's phone.

Yep, if u want to go offline, cool! But makes no sense going to protest with card board or peaceful walk... Just go offline and stay at home, going about other duties. If the people feel the effect let them voice out, cool... But picking uber battle for them, when they r refusing to aid us with adequate information doesn't add up.

That's my concern also, people should stop making case for uber. Uber needs to come out and talk.

Guys please help me and call this highly irresponsible and immature fellow. After many hours in traffic of which the sum was meager, he refused to transfer my balance of 1400 naira. The money maybe small but in these trying times, why should I be robbed?

09063083802

Comrades, any call is appreciated. We really need to teach this scammers and crooks that we own this market. Lets start disgracing them.

09063083802 is the fraudster's number

God bless you Pope. I've been doing more of reading comments here, I wonder why the panic attack and physical protest ? The people we need to speak with/to for now are the e-hailing company NOT the government except they are helpless then you can move to the government, let them keep speaking with the government rather than we entering the street with placards.

I said it recently here that "the title that got to the people of Ede, will still reach Iwo" I believe in being proactive but let's face our partners for now.

You guys have spoken well, the essence of going on strike should be to get the app companies do something about the situation not keeping the partners in the dark.
Me I will like to add that going offline just for a day won't make any difference, why don't the drivers go on strike until the issue is resolved not just a day something.
The app companies will be forced to do something if their partners down tools

People that have partners should let them know, it is for the greater good. We shouldn't be the scape goat in these situation. they sit in dia office running all sort of gimmicks and charge 25%.

I'm going offline, let them feel the heat. Not even a message to update drivers on what's going on or they just don't want to talk.

Let's talk to them by going offline, make some cash tomorrow guys.

Gbam! The govt is yet to attack anybody, all dis vio issue is more like hearsay, not even up to 2% out of the total drivers, it may just b overzealous officers takinv the laws into their hand, when the govt went for the keke guys, it was published. So offline and sit at home is good to send a msg to uber, but as for government, they have no issue with us or audio issue for now, so dia is no need to go wake what is not fighting us.

Right on point. Na some uber drivers that are causing this problems. Instead of them to wait for the official announcement, but they are busy making enquiries and some even going as far requesting for permit.. Causing panicky and then given these VIO's an idea that they can actually enforce something that has not been officially announce or implemented .....smh ......Just causing unnecessary headache and fighting something that is not even fighting or sending them ... it is like trying to wake up the dead... looking for trouble at the end ...I just weak
