I was impressed with Sanwo-Olu from the onset when he came into power, but I just don't understand what he is doing now. Transportation has gone up everywhere in Lagos after the Okada and keke ban....he chased Opay, Gokada and the rest away, now he wants to do this to Uber and Taxify? Like seriously, what does he want people who are relying on this medium to feed their families to do? This is beyond cruel. 1 Like |

uuzba:your got it wrong oga. Do the car owners own the apps? NO! So how can they operate under radar? Uber and Taxify etc the e-hailing companies own the apps. And they can't operate under radar if they want to get popular among the customers. How will customers know about them if they don't promote their platform. The main problem and reason why the Lagos State Agbero govt wants to destroy Uber and Taxify is because ever since they came on board, they have destroyed the monopoly the yellow taxi union and the airport cab unions were enjoying. A passenger will arrive at the airport, from Ikeja to Ajah, they will charge him 20k, he has no choice but to pay, cuz plane landed at 1:30am, not safe to move on the night with luggages, so he takes the taxi from the airport taxi union. Same thing yellow taxi. You're stranded in the middle of nowhere at night you spot and flag down a dilapidated taxi, for a distance of 5KM, he will charge u 5K, because he knows u are stranded and don't have a choice before criminals will come and cut your head where you are on the road. You pay and move. Those guys were always smiling to the bank until Uber and Taxify came. What airport taxi union will charge 20K, Uber car will do it 5K or 6K; what yellow taxi with their dead car will charge 4K, Uber with a/c and comfort will charge N700, and u will still be controlling d driver like your houseboy, u don't have to go on the road to hustle for car to flag down, they will come and meet you at the comfort of where u are. So people hurriedly abandoned all those guys and switched to Uber and Taxify. Those guys weren't smiling to bank again, they were hungry, cars were parked down most of the time. They hated Uber and Taxify with passion and have been looking for ways to send them out of town. No matter what they did, Uber and Taxify became more popular, so they have to resort to the last option, govt agbero power to step in. Why will govt help them? Because those guys are their political thugs, and the boys they use to have a firm grip on political power in Lagos. Yellow taxi union is part of NURTW, the agbero union thug wing of the the Lagos Agbero govt. The ones that snatch ballot boxes and do their dirty work in getting rid of opposition. What of airport taxi union, they are mainly retirees or ex- agbero or comrades partner in association with yellow taxi union. They know themselves and shared the mafia territory among themselves to generate revenue and settle their senior Agberos in connect with govt. So now the agbero govt has no choice than to step in to crush Uber and Taxify. Their agbero support union boys are too hungry, something must be done to chase Uber and Taxify out for good. So this is not even about revenue alone, they want those guys out for good, so everything can go back to the normal status quo where agbero controls the transport system in Lagos. 4 Likes |

Donedeal1: Excellent policy. As it stands, you will need a 2017 vehicle worth at least 8m for the biz. I'm sure that won't be too difficult for a fresh graduate to afford. And for the guys using the 2005 - 2008 corrolas and camries, all they need do is trade-in their vehicles, add between 6 and 7 million which is extremely easy to get in Nigeria today and get back on the road I just don't know if some of you have any humanity left in you. 4 Likes |

Foolishbuhari: I'm sure that location where you pay 800k in Enugu is much better than Ojodu or Ogba. Try to rent a 3 bed in Ojodu or Ogba and let's see how much it costs. In any case, price of cement in Lagos is the same , if not cheaper than price of cement in my village. |

Donedeal1: There are three sides to these taxation things..... The company owners.....the employers and the consumers.... The company owners will never loose.....they LL simply increase their prices, lower the product quality or fold up..... The employers always loose.....it's either their salaries are cut or they loose their jobs.... The consumers always loose....it's either they pay more.....get reduced quality....or loose the product completely.... The government has proven that they can't provide jobs..... If they keep chasing everyone that provides jobs for the masses away with greed we will have more crime on our hands.....and they will keep spending more money on security...... Yes the very extra money they gain from taxes will be spent on combating crime. We need leaders with brains |

Uber and Bolt won't worry too much. With 5000 drivers on their platform They will just ask their 5000 drivers to pay Lagos state registration fee levy. 10m ÷5000 drivers =N2,000 naira per driver operator. 25m ÷5000 drivers = N5,000 naira per driver operator. Problem solved. Uber and Bolt continues operation. |

AfroKnight: I strongly disagree with your opinion. If you calmly digest the article, you will see that a Ekocab will pay the same charges as others. Why not try to investigate the consultant in charge of the entire regulation enforcement as mentioned in the article before blaming a possibly innocent firm? |

uuzba: So many flaws in your argument. 1. Nobody would buy a Bugatti and use for uber. Never ever. That is not how it's done overseas or on Mars. 2. Nobody feels to big to drive and uber. Many peeps on the platform actually own thier cars. Others give out the cars to drivers as an investment. I know one who has upto 8 cars on uber, will he drive all 8. 3. They cannot just profile you as not the owner of the car. The drivers I've seen dont look rough ( except on one occasion). They all appear neat. It affects your stats incase you dont know. 1 Like |
