TravelHas Anyone Heard About Green Shuttle Cab Services In Nigeria? by Upton(op): 10:57pm On Apr 05, 2019
Has anyone heard about green shuttle cab services in Nigeria?

So on my way to work today, standing at the bus stop along Lekki-Epe Express way, a black Sienna pulled in front of me and the driver was selecting the passengers he wants to pick.

He pointed at me, I was reluctant at first but I was already late for work and was tired of waiting for a bus, so I summoned courage and entered the vehicle. Immediately, the driver started saying they are a new cab service in town and they pick passengers at bus stops and then take them to their destination. He added that their service is way cheaper than taxify and uber because they pick about four or five persons on a trip, so the passengers share the bill. According to him, they have been offering free rides to passengers since the beginning of the week as part of their marketing strategy. Then he brought out a paper containing people's names, numbers, email address and pick up bus stop, saying they are keeping records of the people they offer the free ride to. I became suspicious immediately he gave me the paper because all the names had the same handwriting.

I am sure he noticed my countenance then he started saying I can check google to verify that the company exists and I can download their app on Google play store, so I can order online subsequently. He was asked why his car isn't branded, he said the company is trying to avoid paying money to the government. He also said they have a company logo but this logo was not n the form he gave us to write our details. Maybe I was just scared but all he was saying didn't make sense to me

While he was saying all these, he was stopping at bus stops selectively looking for people to pick, then he called a guy to join us and then he picked two ladies who said they were going to VI. He continued his story until I got to my bus stop.

I just decided to check the green shuttle cab service on google and I can't find anything like that in Nigeria. I have also gone to google play store to look for their app but I didn't find anything related to Nigeria.

There are some international taxi companies online, does anyone have any idea if they have started or planning to start operations in Nigeria?

You know different things happen in our society these days especially this Lagos.

I am wondering if anyone else has heard about these guys.

If the DPI is too low, the document will not be clear and you may get ADR to re-send.

Use 300dpi colour and use an online PDF compressor.
I thought pdf compressor reduces the dpi and file size?

Please is it compulsory to scan my documents with 300dpi? Can't I use something lower? With 300dpi, some of my file will be more than the maximum size of 4mb.

So I decided to verify my documents to be submitted and the information I have given online, only for me to realise that I filled 54 hours per week in one of my work experience before I entered the Express entry pool but my employer wrote 51 hours per week in the reference letter she gave me. Can I change it to 51 hours per week in my eAPR or should i get another reference.

The thing is we were working 51 hours when I was employed but she later increased it to 54 hours; I disagreed initially but i still ended up working 52 hours to 54 hours every week because there was always work to do.

...i don't understand why even those whom claimed that they went to school are beclouded by sentiment of religion. this is politics. must CAN always have their way after insulting Buhari and APC publicly?
What ever happens in the Senate will be decided by the Senators. No one man has the right to appoint a Senate president or house of rep speaker. I am neither in support of CAN calling for sensitive positions to be occupied on the basis of religion. My point is MURIC has no right whatsoever to criticise CAN's comments when they did same in Ekiti.

*Spits on the irritating group*
You are just sounding stupid. Who said you guys don't know what you are doing? Muric doesn't know what they are doing and they are sounding more stupid by the day. I don't care if you are a member of Muric.

I am not in support of giving governmental positions based on religion but it is the same Muric who begged Fayemi to consider them in his cabinet. Oh, it wasn't disrespectful then? Hypocrites!! It wasn't disrespectful when they did it but it is now disrespectful because it is CAN. You and your Muric wouldn't read to understand and respect other person's opinion. You only care about yourselves.

These guys are fools. I didnt even bother to read the post and I don't care about its content.

When this same Muric were urging Fayemi to consider Muslims in his cabinets, they didn't know it was disrespectful. This is why there can't be unity in Nigeria. I have good Muslim friends o, even my best friend is Muslim but Muric is beginning to make me dislike the religion.

was refused a student Visa recently but I answered NO to the first question and then YES to the second one. I guess I have done the right thing?

You better correct it before submitting and if you've already submitted..raise CSE asap otherwise, you really playing with refusal under 40 (A).....

You are supposed to answer YES to all.
Wow. I was planning to submit tomorrow after reviewing all my answers one last time. Thank God I asked.

Please what is the difference between:
1) Has XX been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?
AND
2) Has XX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?
