The problem i see here is that Uber drivers are not being proactive

Why are you guys not gathered at Lekki or Maryland to demand explanations from Uber and Bolt? Everybody just sit down on top him chair dey wait for the first VIO scapegoat

Uber has always had issues with local cab businesses. They have been banned in some countries, and they have issues in some states in the USA. Or you guys expect those old, tribal marked men to go and farm in their villages?

Uber and Bolt are keeping quiet because you all are keeping quiet.

If i were you guys, i'll enquire from the VIO, and march to Uber to solve the requirement issues. If Uber no gree, make una off app.

When dem go, another Nigerian go build him own, una go join and hustle continues

Make una use una strength for once

I don talk this tire yesterday that drivers need to go and approach uber and force uber to communicate on the next move in clear terms but people are waiting to see the first VIO casualty before action.
To even tweet on this issue na wahala. Most tweets I read on this issue are from non-drivers.

We are the reason why our nation is like this. We are receptive to every thing govt throws at us and adjust instead of voicing out.

Anyone thay wants to do hackney permit should go ahead and do it. It is obvious drivers ain't even ready to act on this VIO issue.

The drivers do not seem to have an issue with it anyway

Government ban Keke and Bike, everybody begin use uber and danfo

When dem clamp down on uber, everybody go stick to Danfo and Yellow Taxi

Guess who'll laugh last? MC Oluomo

Maybe they think they can still get requests when/if uber and co are asked to leave.

When Nigerians are pushed to the wall.... Nigerians don't fight back but rather break the wall and hide in it .

That's why Nigeria is like this . The masses can hardly have one voice on any issue ...no unity whatsoever. Govt knows this and are taking us for a ride .

Baba is just here selling his business without even giving us insight on matters arising. Baba no b so oooh

Agents have encroached the thread looking for ways to extort hardworking drivers.....
Listen, If you have any issue with Uber and co...Take them to court...they are not running...they have physical addresses....They have representatives....
Uber must pay for operational licenses.....engage them....Uber drivers registered with TIN....I suppose that is the governments share....
But if you need drivers to pay for some permits then you must provide them with riders...
Give them parks to pick riders from.....All taxis have designated parks... Uber has none....
there is no law prohibiting private car owners from giving people a lift....Unless you will need to draft one....
Will you arrest all Corolla drivers you see on the road for hackney.......or you will dictate to car owners where their riders can seat in their own cars.......
will you empower VIO to search people's phones
Unless a driver parks in your parks looking for riders then how exactly do you think you could enforce this......
Without Uber apps , uber drivers cant work....so if you have any issue with Uber...go after them....
Create a government owned kind of ehailing apps...then require all kinds of permits to drive on it...
God help VIO officials , start harassing car owners and you will realise not everyone driving corollas are uber drivers.....he go too sweet....

20k

100k and 30k for what exactly? VIO's DG is a total failure. He is not smart and innovative hence they lack funding. Sanwo olu apparently gave him an 'opportunity' to right his wrongs and the monkey wants to go all out.

The government wants 100k yet they provide nothing for the drivers other than untold hardship with traffic, tout harassment, airport lockdown etc. Uber drivers dont have designated parks/areas and are exploited at every opportunity yet they want hackney permit and body tag.

Those guys want to put barcode on sombori's body! lol

Guys we have to resist this extortion by all means. How much do they think drivers make to pay 100k per car and subsequently 30k for renewal. Funny how the same VIO that check for road worthiness push their unworthy and rickety cars every time!

Please, who can tell me what this check engine light is

[This is free madness from VIO hacking permit is made for commercial vehicles not private so VIO should tell us why private will now have to get a hacking permit quote author=peeps4u post=86460434]

Am very sure that VIO don't know what they are doing anymore what does private car have to do with hacking permit? Hmm well na naija things like this they happen. VIO hacking permit is commercial ooooooo make Una leave us are alone

25k bro since na go/come which I believe is going to take all day 08113579999

Pls be informed that the main reason behind the VIO PALAVA is that the Lagos state govt. and UBER had been at loggerheads since 2016.

Lagos state govt had wanted UBER to obtain operating license since 2016, but up until now, UBER has been dribbling Lagos state govt. This is why the government has decided to get the revenue from drivers directly.

If u are stopped by the VIO, even if u have the hackney permit and lasdri, they will still ask you for your operating license which obviously nobody has.

The shocking part is that even if u pay the 20k fine for not having all these, your car would still not be released. They would now charge you for another offence which is "using a private car for commercial purpose"

Their main aim is to regulate the e hailers by giving all the drivers a tag, so that they could start generating revenues from them or make them fall under NURTW by forcing them to obtain the red plate numbers.

So , guys, what I think we should be talking about is how we will massively go offline on Monday. By this, even the riders will cry out, thereby putting a pressure on the govt. When moving around becomes so hectic, they will come to their senses I know there are some drivers that have had covenant with poverty. They would feel like dying if they don't put on their APPS in a day. Pls tell those people that we need our unity now like never before.

If we had a solid union or association, this is the time it would have been useful.

From these e-hailing business, UBER and BOLT make more money than any driver. So, if there is massive logout, they will surely lose more. They should handle this.

This is my own opinion;

Let's begin to talk about massive logout.

You are on your own ooo, bolt pay kee?

Among all the thread of Business section on nairaland, this thread is the most lively and active thread of all. Always at the first page at all time. Going by that, it means uber/taxify is what lagosians invest on most. Virtually everyone is now complaining about government policy that is making the business unbearable.

Treasury bill thread used to be the second most active thread. Guess what, Government policy is also killing it.

How person wan take survive for this naija self

No. That news is stale as ambode is no longer the governor.

The govt should leave its citizens alone and go for the tech companies. This country is full of shiit.

Didn't check

I thought what the problem is was shown in the image

Dropped a female rider off at shades V.I some minutes ago and she gave me these.

I’m seriously fighting the urge to open the Heinekens, it’s so chilled.

Good morning to all guys on the road out there. This is what I think we should do. For all Nigeria to hear what is happening on the road, with the VIO parking private cars for hacking permit which is unlawful for a private cars. Is time, to make it viral..... not just in this group, because nobody see your talks and comments on this platform only drivers here does. Go to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube.... Tell Nigeria what VIO is doing to (Private plate numbers) with this, I know something most done.
Thanks and God bless us all

Put it plainly, this battle cannot be won.

The government will probably not force Uber and co outta the country because they pay tax (not just theirs, but tax for every driver). That’s huge revenue for the government. The government wants more, so they need Uber to be registered as a taxi service in order to have them pay an operator license. Uber is claiming not to be one, the government’s solution is now to take it out on the drivers.

If you go ahead with the hackney permit, you shoot yourself in the foot. You cannot do that without changing your car registration from private to commercial, because if you do, the next “offense” would be “ why is your car private and you’re using it commercially”? Another fine.

If you do go commercial, then you need an operators’ license to work.

If the government decides to clamp down, it is a lose/lose situation for drivers.

I see alot of comments here makkng a case for uber and bolt. Why dont you guys approach bolt and uber to go and face the govt themselves if they fell they have fulfilled all righteousness?

I listened to a VN recently where a bolt customer care was telling a driver whose car was impounded to go back to VIO and amshow them his app to prove bolt has licence which they can check on their system, after which he should threaten them with court if they dont release his car.
Doesn't that sound stupid?

1. Does procuring services of lawyer come cheap or free?
2. How does a driver prove bolt has operational licence if VIO denies it?
3. How can a driver go to court with a claim bolt has a licence when the driver doesn't have a copy of such licence?
4. Isn't bolt, which claims to have hard copy of licence, supposed to be the one to fight for every driver whose car gets impounded?
5. Would bolt have told his driver to peesonally sue VIO if the cars are theirs?

I can go on and on with many questions.

The truth is that, bolt and uber, if truly they aren't owing any fee, need to make strong public statement regarding this development. As it stands, drivers are confused between having hackney, Lasdri and operational licence or not. There wont be such confusion if bolt and uber make a public statement to addreas this issue.

These platforms are feasting on drivers' docility to protest/approach them and greediness of searching around for requests rather than taking time out to go to and confront uber/bolt at their offices.

For as long as you so have failed to mount pressure on these people, they will be watching you and let you risk your cars on the roads, their prayers will be before your car gets impounded, you make something reasonable that day from which they take their commission; they have nothing to lose.

I am really waiting to see what your strong heads will do when VIO starts baiting drivers with requests and impound their cars. It will be very interesting.
