franksam2009: And this post rite here is the reason why there wont be progress in e hailing...if I recall you said you haven't driven yet on the platform so all the experience you have is what you have read here...bro you sud drive and really understand wetin the drivers dey face..it aint pretty Its really surprising to me how people envy others but don't know the price paid to achieve the enviable success..Uber drivers the world over have unions..i mean in the UK, US, France..ok make we leave developed countries find our own mate..Kenya, Uganda, South Africa..just name it...How much is the money that you will contribute to the union that wont make you eat again..yes the corruption part is true but then you hold the leaders accountable... Uber drivers in Kenya went on strike when the fare was cut to 35 shillings per km..they called off the strike when it was increased to 42 shillings per km..Uber drivers in Mumbai went on strike and the transport minister ![]() ![]() Uber drivers in the Uk won a landmark case that gave them rights to be classified as workers rather than self employed..the ruling meant drivers are now entitled to holiday pay, paid rest breaks and national minimum wage ![]() Uber driver in France, Usa, Uk, just name it have all gone on strike at some point or the other yet we will be here calculating what these drivers earn per trip and how their lives are better but forgetting that they pay the price everyday for their future. Uber Nigeria is very happy that there is no Union or if there is, its not pulling its weight..its to their benefit because for them divide and conquer is the strategy they employ even if the union wants to take shape..they understand the power of a unified voice..the power to hold the company by their jugular or balls..not just holding it but squeezing the life out of it ![]() I picked a rider when i was driving,the man told me his a full time uber driver in the Uk..he was on holiday in Nigeria ![]() ![]() We must wake up as these companies are exploiting the drivers..instead of complaining this is the step to take..our brothers in other countries have shown us the blueprint and they r reaping the rewards..there is no other way.. i have nothing to gain from these suggestions but as an ex driver its annoying to me the level of exploitation...if we cant think in this pattern then please lets stop complaining and endure the slavery and if you cant endure then QUIT 16 Likes 2 Shares |

There are strategic ways of doing a boycott . It’s not about going on strike for one week or few days. None of that. Picture this: 80% of Uber drivers turn off their apps from 4am-10am on a Monday morning. Then repeat again by 4pm-10pm same day. Ponder on that. 3 Likes |

gobuchinny:nice write-ups But I'm not talking about the money or something, but being haraassed by some lowlife agbero all in d name of union,,. Lagos is filled with mad people who disrespect people however they pleases. Nw dey will be pleading for union but when u give Dem go-ahead dey will now form gangster untop d matter/union. Even local govt agberos LL now use the opportunity to start harassing and collecting tolls from drivers..

franksam2009: I doubt the bolded statement will suffice..the union cannot be on the road levying drivers or collecting tolls...no I guess they might require members to pay a token for registration and welfare packages but I doubt their job description will require them levying drivers on the road or collecting some form of toll...uber already does that.. Truth is there will be issues but I believe these issue can be resolved amicably as long as both parties have a common goal..which is driver welfare.. 1 Like |

You dreamers that could not make a strike work last time out want to try again and the drivers struggling to make 5k a day you think they would be ready to off their app and not make money to meet up their rental. The one reason e-hailing would always be challenged here is because it was never planned for driver rentals yet we have made it a staple and it would always be the stumbling block for progress...i wish everyone the best on their daily hustle. 3 Likes |

Rollitout:Don't mind them. They should have said they don't want to give bonuses to drivers but some mumu drivers will keep chasing the bonuses. Check the rate at which completed rate has increased from 60% to 70%. They must have noticed that some drivers were still meeting up, so they decided to make it tougher. 4 Likes

gobuchinny: If you pick me and I tell u I'm a full time lyft driver,how can u verify my claim? because someone told u something does not make it true.I wonder who goes on vacation in Nigeria when he can go to the Bahamas. Truth is,ehailing was not to be a side hustle not the main hustle.the regulators don't want to accept that Nigerians have seen it as a way to put food on the [color=]table[/color].even the privileged ones. Most people head to the island to make more money forgetting that ehailing was to be done in your comfort zone.you were not expects to inconvenience yourself for someone else. Anybody on vacation in Nigeria was not spending uber money.ask very well don't just jump into conclusion |

iyaegin: If this was true why then do uber have the "uber fleet" app for partners? Oh, they expect you to have a fleet of cars you drive yourself? Why do you think they let you register either as a partner(if you own your car) or partner driver(if you don't have a car)? Why do they have a platform where drivers and partners connect? You're deceiving yourself if you feel uber have no idea of the rental/HP system. Even in Yankee, companies give out cars on rental. We didn't invent this system in Nigeria. It's a system designed and sold to us by uber itself. Let's stop making excuses for these companies abeg. These low fares have been their plan all along. They romanced us into flooding the platform with our cars. Remember those meetings we used to have with uber at Sheraton Rd., Ikeja? When was the last time we had such meetings again? I know people that suffered huge losses after investing up to 10 expensive cars on uber during the days of 2007 and above cars. Uber reduced the year of cars and fares without considering what would become of investors that were sweet talked into partnering with them. This trend has continued unchecked and unless drivers fight back in a way, they will eventually experience worse than those working at Chinese factories. At least those ones too are earning above minimum wage ![]() 10 Likes 2 Shares |
