Truly the economy is not smiling and commercial drivers are not smiling either. They mean business o.

So I wanted to go pick up something somewhere yesterday and didnt have the complete transport fare. Before subsidy removal, the same distance used to be N200 but it is now N450. I had only N300 with me and thought I could help beg a taxi driver to consider me. You won't believe once I flagged down a cab and say, please consider me, I'm going to so so place and I have only N300, the next thing you see is marching of throttle and voom, they zoom off. They don't even have time to listen to your plea, after all, no be them be Tinubu wey remove subsidy.

I stopped over 7 vehicles and none agreed to consider me for N300.

They prefer to even drive without a passenger than picking someone for a lesser fare.

Las las, I had to call the person that I will pick it up some other time.

I have also seen in several occasions people arguing and fighting over price differences. The commercial driver would argue this is his fare, the passenger would argue "oga na lie", leading to physical slug out. Funny.

Naija, i hail thee.

Share yours.

Happy Sunday to you all.

Honestly the street is not smiling. Worse is this man didn't put anything palliatives on ground before he took the decision. Suffering poor citizens more and more for nothing.

Import duty increase from tomorrow

Tell me more about that. Is it going to increase the price?

It's not funny at all. Each government comes to inflict more pains on poor Nigerians.

We had thought after Buhari, the next government will give us relief but we were wrong.

So many will be trekking to work today especially salary earners.

K

MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT Tinubu MUST GO!!!!
All of us at do not want him at AsoRock

That's sad... After trekking, what energy or zeal will be left for the work??!

This will terribly diminish work output as well as the quality of life of our workforce!

The average nigerian is wicked. They take things like this as medium for cash out.

We're all in it together no exception

Next time wear the APC cap and make sure it carries that Tinubu number 8 signature on it, I bet you they will carry you for N150

Try it and thank me later

Its really frustrating here, if you ask for a reduce from the price the mentioned, they will insult you and then shun you.

Heya. What they promised us vs reality

Nobody even knows when this subsidy rubbish will be over,everybody just cool as if everything is fine nigeria

Vawulence is the order of the day,
So as for now
No I beg borrow me money,
No I beg help me with garri
No I beg give me small lift
No use my fuel wash ur hand as an engineer
No smile,cos tinibu (buhari pro max)
Dey for chair,but soon be booted out,

Last last
We go dey fine

I don’t experience it thou ,bcus my shop to my house is just 7minute work but sometimes i do go the market to get stuffs , been a while I went to the market

Hike in price.

Omo me no get power to argue with any driver oo, if e favour me I enter if e no favour me my leg they for me I go trek to my destination

To be Frank, since the weekend that precede the announcement of the removing subsidy, I didn't resume my work that to and fro cost 1200 daily. Since then I didn't even stopped bike man talkless of caor bus. I left 60000 job for 30000 without transport cost. 1200 daily is now 1800. I will find another job if fuel or palliative is in place

Commercial bus are now very expensive. Sura to tow gate that used to be #200 is now #500. I no dey fight conductor, I know things are hard because I grew up in the streets, so I always have extra at hand and ready to play ball, people are frustrated if you annoy them you will collect wotowoto.

Don't blame them, fuel price tripled and you expect them not to raise their price? I sometimes used my car to pick passengers on my way to work with 10k fuel everyday, I can only make 6k back from the 10k, imagine if transportation was my only source of income, will I not raise my price to the extreme just to make little profit to survive?
