Tinubu is holding Lagos state hostage. But there is always an end to everything, even life has an end. Very frustrating state, I don't pray to go back to. Stay away from lagos if you can, if you got a choice.

Nigerians are wild unreasonable animals. In 2021, there's still no civil way to reasonably tax transport workers. This country is worse than a shithole.

Despite the heavy extortion on the Badagry expressway, the road is crazily unmotorable.

Animalistic Leaders.

For those who don't know that route, the problem is not NURTW(agberos). The problem is police. They have checkpoint every 100 meters and collect #100 per vehicle. That is excluding customs that will ground a bus just because they found a passenger in possession of 5kg of Rice.

Who is to say that Tinubu wasn’t the architect of SARS mayhem? Who is to say he is not the unseen hand that SARS remit money into his account monthly.

It's such a horrible thing. These agberoes are everywhere,at every bus stop,extorting hardworking drivers and their conductors and okada riders everyday!
That equally amounts to robbing every lagosian everyday by proxy!!!
These guys are of no use to anybody,the society, nothing!
Nigerian citizens are all under horrible siege...siege by Hausa Fulani,by the oppressive federal government,by the military,by the north,by agberoes,by house agents,by NEPA, etc....

The extortion is becoming too much Walahi.. My brother is Koropè driver plying Ikeja-Dopemu route. Yesterday, he was at Ikeja park and look for ticket to buy which is 850, whereas, the ticket seller told him there is no ticket available... Some minutes later the agbero came and grabbed him that he don't buy ticket. He even went ahead to call the ticket seller, the guy keep mute. My brother spent 4500 b4 his car key was giving to him. They collected that 4500 because that was all he has with him because d charge giving to him was 7k. The annoyed part of it was that the idiots went to where they park the car and deflated two tyres, what an inhumane attitude. They did it vr close to vulcanizer faa... The engr charged him 500 and he has to dropped his phone wit the vulcanizer. My brother was seriously traumatized that since that yesterday he refused to take the motor out, motor that is not even his... Something he collected last month on higher purchase. After the 850 ticket, u will be pay 100N on per loading and d loading is not even forthcoming because there is a lot of busses available. Lagos State should call them to order because that can trigger an uncertainty. I feel for my bro since yesterday Walahi.

Since thursday no bus, let the agberos feel te heat they should fight once and for all.

Even buses that were trying to pass short cut inside iyanaera were stoped by the drivers union.

They made every bustop a collection point for agberos. Even heavy duty trucks that pass through Igboelerin are taxed.

Bunch of rogues

If you live in Lagos , you'll understand and agree that this people have every right to protest.

Honestly I feel this NURTW should be scrapped because I don't see their use undecided
They risk their lifes by hanging on buses to collect money...
They start fights with bus owners and conductors.
They're thugs and they constitute nuisance to the soceity.

To make it even worse , the money they are collecting sef we don't see the use..
There are still a lot of bad roads, disorganized bus stop and heavy traffic in the state
