semid4lyfe: Lol. Your profiling of me is so off. You think say na UniPort, Unilag, UI, Ife level be my institution. Even those universities only accomodate a tiny percentage of their staff on Campus.
Make I give you some context. ⬇️
I live in the capital city of the state. The university is in a rural community about 50 - 60 mins drive away. I no dey stroll from my home to the office.
Over 97% of staff live in the capital city and commute to work from there because staff accomodation on campus is almost non-existent. The few units that were built some years ago were cornered by the big ogas which they sublet to others at exorbitant rates.
The university community is not quite as developed. The power situation is terrible in the community (but my uni get steady light cos of solar plant wey GEJ give us when hin establish am )
Even young bachelors that started off living in the community eventually move to the capital city especially after marriage and when their kids want to start school to have good options.
Soft life no dey lecturing like that. Even now, as my uni dey semester break, I get over 500 scripts to mark across three courses with deadline to deliver. I get project student's wey I dey supervise, and read & correct their thesis
As per family levels, its just me & madam with our three kids, no domestic help or relatives living with us. Make I even yarn you sef, na me do omugwo for my wife when she drop #2 and #3.
Also, I do a lot of chores to keep the home running. Na me dey do dishes, Na me dey do school runs mostly. Na me dey sweep and mop house. Na me dey bathe kids morning and night. Na me dey iron clothes. Na me dey assist kids with assignments etc
Bottom line, I put in a lot of work in my job, and in the home. Nothing like soft life for my side. I no dey hypersexual and knacking no dey rule my mind. There are weeks I go without it. Oya, be disappointed. Kudos chief, this is quite commendable. Just out of curiosity, does madam contribute financially to the home (significantly)? |

[quote author=BlueRayDick post=138923600]It's amusing seeing him write paragraphs upon paragraphs trying to use his theoretical knowledge based on assumptions to invalidate the transporters' practical experience.
Since yesterday I just dey read all his assumptions with amusement and chose to keep quite lest people think my agreement with the transporter's experience is based on my dislike for the incumbent government.
One of the major mistake he's making that flaws his argument is the fact that he thinks keke riders can increase their fares at the same rate buses, cabs and taxi drivers do. Most keke ply short distances that are within communities. Most of the routes keke ply are trekkable, so the moment u decide to increase the cost per trip from 200 to 400 because fuel which used to be N850 less than a month ago is now N1,300; majority of potential customers will trek. At some point you will be forced to reduce the price to say maybe N250 and this will definitely lead to a loss in the long run.(The reason why you would reduce the price is because you have limited time to work with ghe keke if you are not the owner. You won't sit on your fuel hoping a customer that will pay higher fare will come when you know you will give the Keke to someone else to work with in the evening)
Another major point he's overlooking is the fact that as at the time the guy made the video he just finished his first round of trips and needed to refuel only for him to discover he's only been able to gain N50 on the initial N5,000 he spent on fuel. That does not necessarily mean the guy will make N50 on the next N5,000 fuel he will buy because from thereon he will have to increase his fares which should increase his bottom line and that is if he sees customers desperate enough to patronize him based on the new price.(Of course, this will depend on how important where those guys are going and how unwilling they are to trek)
The bottom line is that Keke rider's story is not necessarily false considering those were his major trips that morning; he's more likely to adjust his price afterwards the moment he buys the next batch fuel to avoid running that day at a loss. And yes! There will be low patronage going forward ; some of the Keke riders may even decide to focus strictly on charter like people running provisions store chartering them to help carry their goods when they go to restock or food sellers ordering them to help ferry their wares to the market and back home in the evening.
Below is the video which may seem like cruise to anybody who isn't close to those in the lower rungs of the society, but things on the streets are far worse than people are saying on the internet. I can't even count the number of times men with families will strategically perch at car parks of malls, stores and supermarkets like Jendol, etc, approach you to please buy any food item for them to take to their families. Some would even hold one of their kids and you can see they don't even want money but just food to fill their belly.
If person dey talk online wetin person dey see regularly on the streets, he go be like person dey exaggerate to make the government look really really bad.
bolded is the major point, Keke's increase can't be like that of buses or korope. Keke along my route have increased prices from 150 to 200 and on one other route the price hasn't changed from 200.
Buses and Korope along the area have increased from 1000 to 1500 and 300 to 400.
Along my route their profit margins have shrunk.
However, keke's that operate long routes might still be in profit. Keke along another route increased from 500 to 700, they should still be in profit. |

mikeapollo: After giving Egbetokun, a Yoruba man, an extended term as IGP contrary to the rules and law, it does not make any sense to give it to Tunde Disu, another Yoruba man, when there is someone like Frank Mba, who is very competent, articulate, credible, commands respect and confidence of the public and is not junior to the new IGP. Frank Mba was a junior to Tunji Disu and enjoyed accelerated (double) promotion to DIG in order to fulfill federal character. Frank Mba's set/mates are still holding CP ranks. |

HustlaOfLagos: I do not understand how a security concept as simple and basic as this is being deliberately convoluted
AGAIN, I will repeat
It is far easier to pay / socially engineer someone than to add listening devices / components that can be easily discovered to EVs. Less trouble, more info will be gathered and people can be gotten to spy for as little as promise to get passport, entry for their wards into exclusive private schools etc. It is also far easier to use Pegasus to spy on a nation state level than the EV car crap
A MOLE IS FAR LESS LIKELY TO BE DETECTED OR UNCOVERED AND GATHERS WAY MORE INFORMATION THAN A LISTENING DEVICE. HOW HARD IS THIS CONCEPT ?!!
No sensible nation state actor in modern times will go the EV route & we all know why the "national security" crap is used when it comes to China Lol I wonder why the possibility of EVs being used as spy devices seem impossible to you. All countries use multiple means to gather information and spy on others, the cost isn't a bother. There are different methods for intelligence gathering - humans, tech, animals etc Israel bugged pagers and used them to blow up Hezbollah. In this current war, Israel hacked and used Iran's street camera to monitor their securities in Iran. In vault 7 leaks showed that CIA could turn smart gadgets into listening devices and control them. In spycraft every avenue could be used. |

izzou: I really don't want to be insensitive with that story, but his ransom talk is shady.
The same kidnappers that forced your people to charter a vehicle and bring the cash personally, are the ones that willingly provided an account for transfer
The same kidnappers that killed the tractor operator for just mentioning 2 million out of 50 million, are the same ones that collected 2 million from you, despite you being the only one remaining.
I only know that kidnappers can be traced through phone numbers. Na the first case of account number I dey hear like this. I can't speak to the veracity of the story, was just stating that kidnappers collect cash a lot. |

raumdeuter: Shehu Abubakar has a NIN tied to this bank account, why cant the money in Shehus name be held back by the bank or trace whoever he transfers it to and wait block all transactions from those accounts until they show up physically at a bank
If kidnapper know they cannot use Bank accounts to receive and send money, what will they ask for next? Physical cash in Ghana Must go?.
The basic way in law enforcement to crack crime is "Follow the money" Kidnappers mostly request for cash, even during the exchange of school students for ransom, it's hard cash. |

Jegheter: Bro rules of ehailing app? Which rules bro? These apps don't even obey their own rules. Bolt doesn't treat Nigerian drivers d same way dey treat European drivers.
AC is a must for me but if it's not working sudnt d driver still work? So if car no get AC make em no work with the rubbish prices out dere? If ur AC is working better but if not that d rider business ooo unless it's Uber, or comfort. I mean y would d app company have a category called COMFORT meaning dey know rides are in different categories of comfortability 
Abeg make we leave matter for Mathias. It's good you know AC is a must. If your AC doesn't work you calmly explain to your rider and they'll decide either to go or not. It's that simple. |
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by sconp: 11:51am On Oct 30, 2025 |
Nelochukwu: No his entitled to being driven to his destination. AC is comfort not a necessity to completing the trip however, categories like bolt comfort or indrive comfort requires you to on the AC cause the fares are significantly more expensive.
Iz worse wen a rider doesn't even respond to ur greeting and the first things is HOPE UR AC IS WORKING? It always pisses me off. Once u don start convo with me like that then u don fail exam ooo. Guaranteed I won't carry cause even my response d rider go know say I don vex
Then off course for the Uber app the AC remains on always cause Uber pays u very well bro weather traffic dey or not. Infact if u encounter traffic on Uber no panic. Just dey smile and watch what ur Lord can do wen u end d trip. Na u go pity rider 
I hope u understand my position Lol. Every rider in whatever category is entitled to AC while the ride is on. This is well enshrined in the rules of these ehailing apps except the rider states otherwise. By switching on the AC, you're not doing the rider a favour, that service is paid for. You can make a case for better fares, you can choose to accept or decline trips based on the manner of approach, that's totally within your prerogative. |

Nelochukwu: This the best way bro. Until u establish contact even sometimes sef the manner of message will still not make me move an inch. Just cancel.

I always on my AC but I hate d entitlement. I once asked one that is it excursion she's going for that she's crying that I don't have ac. AC wey na me on am as we drive but traffic much I wan off am u come dey rant say why I dey off am?  Isn't the rider entitled to this by virtue of booking a ride? |

You also need to go separate ways quickly else you'll go crazy. Should you refuse to separate, he'll separate from you after a while because by then he'll not be able to deal with your madness anytime and that might be the final straw that tears you apart.

You will get invite at the speed of light with Construction Project manager if you can get a positive assessment. You won't stay long in the queue.
Of course you can change skill assessment after lodging EOI. Just make sure you withdraw the previous EOI once you get an invite for the construction project manager to give chance to other people when submitting your new one. How were you able to check this?

GloriousGbola: actually a lot of the nigerian run oil and gas companies are not unionised. since dangote started his refinery he has been chasing validation in the court of public opinion and putting all his business in the public space
i guess he thought he he could pull a mike adenuga where business illiterate people will celebrate him as an altruistic billionaire who makes his choices for the benefit of nigerians while fighting entrenched cabals
if he had not been hogging every news cycle for the past 12 months - this would have passed under the radar
maybe now an energized pengassan will go after the other naija companies who have refused to allow their staff to unionise This is what PENGASSAN really needs to do, there's too many of them. Dangote was just trying to repeat their MO. |
