No longer feel enthusiatic to post on NL anymore.

There is a kind of conspiracy going on here. I was banned for 2 days without a warning. The person that banned me said i posted private pictures. I dont know how the pictures were private. You banned me and removed the post on this thread, but you left out the post on the diary section..... Thats just....... Anyway, I have served the ban and that is final.

In those two days, i have gotten a blog of my own and have intensified posting on instagram.

Adieu Nairaland.

Let me say upfront that I enjoy your stories. More importantly, I like your hardworking lifestyle and your general attitude to work.

But on this issue of the ban, I cannot agree less. I'm not sure its right to take photos of people, obviously without their consent and such photos find their way here. Although it makes your stories interesting and credible, I don't think its proper to take unauthorised photographs of people and post it here (even though their faces are never shown). Their privacy must be respected. I can recall at least two instances: the lady with the torn red dress and the lady with the very skimpy bum shorts recently.

The test is whether an average reasonable man would not feel offended, if he were to find out that someone took photos of him in a situation which doesn't necessarily portray him well and posted it on a forum read by millions.

Whether an outright ban without prior warning is right is another kettle of fish entirely.

Don't take it too hard, we still want to share in the hilarious moments you encounter as you keep Lagos moving. Cheers.

Moderators, we are not doing again, we have moved our properties to IG. Ntoor!!!!!

The handiwork of 'The Wise one'

I have known Nigeria to have a bad 'head'. I have know Nairaland, no matter how cool the forum is, that the bad 'head' will affect it especially the Travel section, its 'never' accommodating. Any extraordinary threads like this will end up zero. Only the devil knows why Originalsly and Franknetter's threads are still alive.

P.S; I loved the way the little ban touched the 'bannee'. He pulled up immediately and Now, I am sure he would seem valuable to the 'banner'.

Romeo3:
Moderators, you have my permission to lock this thread.

Nobody is locking this thread o.

It would be better if you update only on the diary section. Let this thread solely be for interaction/questions/feedbacks/inquiries sort-of.

And so ends the mortal life of this thread which I have followed silently. By far the best thread hosted on nairaland this year. Romeo3 please you can as well take down your content, let nairaland continue with their bbnaija threads. Another low for the travel section.

Seriously we don't like something good. no matter what you do or how careful you try to thread and not step on anyone's toes, there'd always be haters, all through his thread there have been people castigating against, invasion of privacy blah blah blah, yet these same people will happily give zukerberg and Google thier data, someone will go out unclad in public and thier picture posted online, what's the difference? One of the best threads in this forum and yet they have managed to pursue the hardworking guy away when he found a way of including humor into what he loves doing, how many people can boast to be able to do what he does with such happiness?

Jealous zealots all around, dunno why it pains them? is it your picture? nonsense!!!

Thank you...

Blog is the best , you will be the CEO of your thing and be rest assured you are gonna get traffic and can start marketing other things too !!!

You can never win Nairaland, the owners and mods have this hisshhhh ..... make I stop am for here sha !!!

A taxi driver who decides to share pictures of his riders, the clothes they wear, the neighbourhood they live in without their informed consent IS acting against the law in any developed country. Uber Nigeria seems to be fairly lackadaisical in their approach which might explain why this account hasn't been blacklisted.

I think people who are against the decision of the moderator haven't read the Uber privacy policy, especially in the light of recent events going on with Facebook et al. This has nothing to do with "bad-belleism" or jealousy like some people have alluded to, it's simply common sense. I don't believe the moderator who resides overseas will be jealous of a taxi driver making a living in Nigeria.

I don't use Uber, but if I did, I expect the driver to do his job of picking me from point A and dropping me off at point B. When a driver takes pictures of me and where I live (MY shithole) without my consent, goes ahead to post such in social media in an attempt to bank likes and shares, it's a gross invasion of the privacy and safety of people who use Uber.

I would advice the moderators to email Uber Nigeria all the photos of riders posted in this thread, lets see if I'm right or wrong when it comes to their own well-stated privacy policy.

I have disagreed with the actions of the travel section moderator on a handful of occasions in the past, but I totally agree with his decision to remove the photos of riders and their neighbourhood posted here. It's just not fair for taxi drivers to ridicule their riders who are actually paying them to do a simple job of moving from point A to B.

I expect the OP will be treated more harshly by Instagram if he chooses to post riders photos there without their consent, he will eventually be tracked and his Uber account blacklisted by Uber. I can't believe that a 'young man' can choose to risk loosing his livelihood simply because of a few likes and shares in social media.
