EkesonBiafra ...Nigeria is not an organized nation..

Xup

Tfffc6g,

To boycott transport services and punish innocent Nigerians is not the answer. Can Nigerians for once go with the anger and vote for a change in 2023? Our problem is simple and we can all solve if we are ready to. Vote our minds in the elections with all our strengths.

Them go hear mwin,,this is a worn up Agberu government will increase Tinubu tugs

Long due. The menace of the misçreants have gone on for too long n only gets more vicious with time.

Who is behind these illegal levies Nigerians save yourselves from impending DICTATORSHIP!! Better save yourselves now by VOTING IN CAPACITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT etc rather REGRETING LATER and be shouted upon,: 'SHUT UP' when you ask them to do right!!

suffering and smelling

Thiefnubus boys on rampage. They are the thieves on the street if you carry your cooking pot outside they will collect money from you. If you wear a beautiful cloth they will ask for the money. They are thieves in the street of lagos

Who do you know authorize that collection, of course the owner of Lagos who is BAT.

Eeeyah! But na poor people go suffer am.. no be una wey dey use flight

Thieftinubu the insatiable thief wants to fund his presidential ambition with drivers using Lagos roads. Disadvantages of turning Lagos into Agboro state.

Supported!

Ahhh, will this not affect the budget for campaign ni? Those excesses charges was meant to argument budgeted budgeted money to share for every campaign o. Yeeeee

That’s the language that lagos state government understands very well provided that election is at the corner and now is the best way to boycott illegal Levies in lagos

Good.. agboro own don too much

Simple Choice: Let them all vote against their oppressors! If possible, fresh air would be taxed or levied in Lagos!

They should expect hell by the time their godfather wins presidential election next year.

Nothing like transporters strike in Lagos.

Agbero don make commercial driver sit at home on Monday.

The lagos they built... tueehhh!!!

MrPman

I thought Lagos is USA.... Ebhhh officialABAT

Wonderful...... Because I m paying extra money for transport here.... Not because of illegal levies but because of one yeye fuel scarcity wey I no understand for this abuja

Daniel 2:44 and Revelations 21 3-5 has the answer.

The authority should interven to resolve d issues

I hope they’ll be bold enough to do this. Loading fees (owo loading) has been updated for one seat in a minibus (korope) to two or more in bigger buses. A vehicle takes six passengers and someone collects money for two out of the sex 🤣🤣.

Lagos is an Eldorado Country in Nigeria where anything goes. The poor mases will suffer

I dey mind my business now

It’s time to change power in Lagos if not this suffer will continue

How will they survive?

Yes everyone knows where the power behind those agbero came from,and they have the gots to come out for election Tinubu boys

To Be Sincere I Salute This Guy's On How They Are Able To Operate Transportation Businesses Under This Huge Levy Ladden System...It's Pathetic

We keep blaming d MC, d govt & emilokan... We are d problem. Let us all sit in our homes during dis 7days strike in support of their agitations of d illegal levies been collected by them. The NLC have failed... Not until we start dis small small things, we ain't going nowhere

E don happen......Owo da beye🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The people should start demanding for there right. We have left it in the hand of God for too long thereby allowing POLITICIAN stealing the State.

When are they starting o😤, so we can structure our movements. Anyways, the strike and the need for drivers to have their own union/association is long overdue. If they can push this through, touting will be checkmated in Lagos state. The trend today is worrisome.

Na Una gather do 1million match 😂😂 you guys will pay more when Una oga win

Tinubu built his dynasty with the help of all these thugs and the only way to pay them back is for them to be collecting illegal levies from motorists . Its a very difficult menaces for lagos state govt to curb. It has eaten deep into lagos youths

That's Tinubu's Lagos for you. That's what he wants to return Nigeria into, but God forbid BATthing.

Tinubu Lagos! This was his empowerment! It’s happening too in delta state ..

No need for that....All they need to do is block Bourdillon where all state levies end up. D money go comot one time

If you know how much this people pay as levies . You will be shocked . Just try ask any of them . By the time you calculate the daily levies in a month . It will be like 30k plus for bike rider and 40k plus for buses

Protest is allowed! Na protest when we dey fear make things bad like this if not small group of people no suppose dey control us like this.

😂 building on IGR lol 😂

Blue print of Tinubu

This is just the beginning

I am completely in support of this decision; enough of the exploitation.

Fake news! How dem wan do am? Na daily paper dem dey spend!

finally una don dey get sense

Will this ever end .. ?

Let the strike hold and its obvious the state government do not care about the drivers plight

Na shege we go see oooo for Lagos

If the said Group can just observe their warning strike, it may give them opportunity and this will bring end to lavishness of Agbero ìn Lagos. Lagos need to wakeup! This stealing by trick is too much

When you go to other states transportation are lesser put for Lagos is something else

BAT encouraged hooliganism in Lagos. MC Oluomo and his top guys have become role model to some teenage boys and don't see education as road to success anymore.

That is BAT Lagos of shambolic example. Taxes, levies and Agbero terror. Despotic reign.

If the said man that they claim will bring good tidings and good governance can put people through such when he is not yet president,what and why do they still think he will care when made president?

I love this, let these touts go ND look for job, same should be done in Ogun states that borders Lagos

As a kolope shuttle bus driver, I paid agboro at least 10k in a day, and struggle to go home with 3k

End Agberos

Make una help us, that never have motor

BAT is working

Suffering and smiling people’s in Lagos me no pity anyone in Lagos bcos they prefer slavery than freedom

Sowore, thank you we don't need you write about it.

Una just dey get sense 🙄

Una just dey

MC Oluomo should henceforth take operations directives from Makinde as interim president Oduduwa Republic of south west or go down with Tinubu.

Tinubu era in Lagos State and Yoruba land is over. Makinde is henceforth interim president Oduduwa Republic of south west within Disintegrated Republics of this territory natives.

IGR people. This one’s for you.

I was made to understand that Lagos is the second worst city to live in the World, repeatedly media houses has confirmed that

It's going to be hard on ppl, but to be honest, the money these motor park touts are extorting from drivers on daily basis is much, this is monkey dey work Baboon dey chop

Honestly most times i feel so bad, seeing the way their hard earned money are been extorted from them forceful. Nigeria deserves better Commercial drivers deserves better. Vote wisely, for a better nigeria Lagos is seriously under bandage. Peter Obi is the only solution💯✅

Lagos state wants to start collecting fee for car parking o, very soon we go dey pay to enter markets.

That is d Lagos dey want to make mega city, rubbish 🤣

Anytime Tinubu makes donation he comes back to drivers in Lagos for payback. Nigeria will be hell if this man & Shettima gets into asorock 🤷🏿‍♂️

Agbado boys no let them work. Agbado master will recruit jobless people in the name of task force to dey disturb and frustrate people that have work.

Are they Govt. approved or into individual melting pot of ............ ?

God has granted the solution to our demands. Will we let it slide?😳

These drivers and the Lagos state govt should tell us what the legal levies are and which are illegal. Also we need to know what the actual fares should be too for we commuters. Govt of Lagos pls use this opportunity to weed out all the bad and rickety vehicles from roads

If tinubu enters as next president na suffer ooo. Cuz agberos will have the liberty to do any how in Lagos not only in Lagos, transportation will be more costly

They cant

The other time, someone posted a short video where some drivers where been task to pay money for sticker cos of someone contesting for an election. But the lagos state park manager came out to dined it. Now, drivers protesting cos of illegal levies.

Tinubu’s Lagos

....... If deciding to lock down for 1 week with determination and purpose of mind will work in Lagos given all support for all and sundry, it will spread like wildfire to send signals to others across the country. This is Nigeria, it's my home and my stake

......... increasing poverty parameters in the country but double taxations, illegal fees, touts and thuggery, miscreants and other unofficial or extrajudicial chaos has sent many youths and forthcoming generations into hopelessness and vulnerable groups

In mine personal thinking, I had always wished that these commercial workers deliver themselves from those persons, institutions and processes that have turned out to be mining them illegally. Its not only that the misplacement of governance priorities have added to the poverty

Tinubu is trying to raise money for vote buying by extorting traders and commercial drivers Drivers now pay over half of what they make as levies

The handwork of jargaban and agbero's. This is one of d reasons why transport is too expensive in lagos

One day, the Bush meat will catch the HUNTER!!

May God Almighty help his people to unbundle APC.

Tinubu is looking for money...

Tinubu boys nawa oooo

I fear for dose people thinking that apc has something better to offer this time. I also feel a very big Bomb is inside there head☑️

Tomorrow they will still vote APC

TrekkingMalakum

Una no wan fund tinubu campaign?

KBT_BANKOLE Very good, so someone could come up with this idea in this Lagos? The amount they collect from those guys are too much, speaking from experience as I once did that job, they should even block the road for people who would want to take E-hailing app

Not only in Lagos all Port Harcourt also

Are you talking about the Lagos tinubu built?

Monkey dey work bamboo dey chop.....

And you think Lagosians will vote for Tinubu?

I hope jidesanwoolu and drhamzat can see that governance in Lagos is bigger than them. Those boys control the whole of Lagos

How will MC Oluomo and cohorts feed?

$

Mc oluwo want to collect money from bus driver to fund officialABAT campaign

Tinubu's Lagos

And this is wat will befall the whole of Nigeria if a certain candidate becomes President come next year….

God abegoo!! More hardship for the poor masses.

Tinubu Lagos

Una mumu don do!!!

And so it begins till 2023

Yes oo , they need money to support their presidential candidates- so, anarchy every where

How you wan go work Nyigbajohnj 👀

This is the kind of lagos tinubu has built, tinubu and his agbros ,APC IS EVIL

And illegal misamangment of Traffic signs. lastman. Government of lagos state has carefully removed all traffic signs that show oneway just arrest drivers. Wicked government everywhere

Tomorrow go hot pool

Jagabagbado instructions

Illegal levies by Bola Tinubu APC party to use it to buy voters cards to rig elections

They need to raise money 💰 for their Landlord Atoole (bedwetter) for election na

The Levies collected from the bus driver, Keke and Trucks is total madness in Lagos. That is why transportation and moving of goods in Lagos is very high , putting hardship on the people while the thugs and there political Boss smile to the banks in people's PAIN.

In

But, na Dem do follow mc oluomo do 1 million march in support of Emilokan. Why the sudden complain?

Commercial and private car owners should be very careful jidesanwoolu sanwo adanwo has instructed his guys LASTMA, LAMATA, AGBEROS, TASKFORCE to be extorting the innocent masses to pay out of their emaciated struggles to pay for something he himself can't even explain.

officialABAT wan to become President by all means using different Levies on Lagosians if by mistake officialABAT lost d election both Lagos and Abuja he will commit suicide bcoz all d corruptions and looting going on in Lagos 4 d past 22 years will open d scandal wil be 2 much

They ain't see nothing make Tinubu be president first Oluomo will show them shegee.

When they are done with their strike, the levies will triple. Their task masters get coconut head.

It's getting more interesting!

Na so we de here am since last week

Please start on Monday & take it seriously like asuu

Tinubu and his agbero are really frustrating transporters in Lagos.

Tinubu wants the money for campaign they must pay

THE POLITICALLY INSPIRED STRIKE HAS EVEN COLLAPSED BEFORE IT TAKES OFF. LAGOS COMMERCIAL DRIVERS CAN NEVER SIT AT HOME FOR A SECOND.

Vote wisely

Hnmm park management caucaus is the real problem of Lagos state

Dem.never see anything, they should wait till emilokan become president of his village, dia sense go reshuffle

The same almighty Lagos you all said Tinubu singlehandedly buit? Hope he still claims responsibility of this as he does on every project his successors have done.

Read this lines.... People Tinubu keeps for himself.

deldavid94 Tinubu’s legacy

Is this supposed to be News Zoogeria Remains Zoo,😢

Who cares isn't that your plan .

Ask Old Agbodo jagaba what's happening thanks

fkeyamo realFFK abati1990 officialABAT elrufai OfficialAPCNg

This is the hardship some individuals wish this country

At this point, anyone still supporting APC hates Nigeria.😒

Na so e-go be if BAT enter upper Chamber. Vote wisely...

Good.

Another blue print😀😀.

About time

Go and beg them not to, u campaign with that foolish

Agbero is now a very big problem in Lagos State...they are more powerful than police and soldiers...

Boycotting is not the answer, vote against anything that has to do with Tinubu in 2023 and be free!

There have been allegations of forced and illegal levies on Keke and others to fund the Apc Presidential candidate Bola Tinubu. Inec should have to step in before things turn ugly. It's illegal for such undue levies.

Al least one way drive go reduce

The question is, where is the illegally collected money going to🤔🤔

Lagos generates the biggest IGR 🎉🥵

The Lagos he built!

This is getting too much

Social media agbero's, please tell your other branch collecting illegal levies to desist! No government licensed agbero's as official tax collectors pls..... this APC.....

The oppression is unbearable

Tinubu and his family.

Very private cars will be paying the same levys in Lagos and other States in Tinubu become Nigeria president.

APC doings. Many BAT supporters are seeing this. They know will be greatly affected but they're blíndfóļded to see the truth.

I hope it will be effected

Lagos state was bought and paid for a long time ago. That clueless govt. they shuffle around and repackage every four years doesn’t mean a thing to well meaning citizens. We must stand up & fight for a better Lagos... One devoid of godfathers/kingpins/tyranny

They must pay Emilokan's election money 🤣

Eko tinubu 😂

Lagos they built

This is what Abuja will look like if batish win ds election

Thiefnubu, Ode Sanwo Olu and MC Oluomo the killers in action

Didn't they just do 1million match for Tinubu? Abi no nurtw again 🤔

I built Lagos under the mud. MC Oluomo go hear am😂

Tips of Tinubu presidential wannabe. God forbid!

Good.

Perhaps they're being extorted to fund someone's campaign. I'm sure we all know who that someone is

Most of them will take advantage of this and increase the price. They will load Ajah to jakande for 800naira..

This is Lagos tinubu built useless people

Veec_toria_O

Na hangry go kill them

Wow, so so nasty

Hmmmmmmm

Election levy to the lord and savior of Lagos

why is it that Abia state people cannot be their own police commissioner? All the time fulani commissioner.What sort of nonsense is this? Police commissioner should be an indigene of that particular state not a stranger.That is how u do policing.

Lolz. Una oga wan be president Na. Shey una no go contribute?

The money commercial drivers are paying is to much government need to do something about it

Okay

Tinubu this is ur legacy

Agbero State

Mad people everywhere continue shouting APC Jagaban.

I'm not convinced LASG can stop the criminal activities of MC Oluomo boys, who are the masterminds of illegal collection of levies from commercial drivers in the state 'built' by Emilokan himself.

How will the drivers survive for a whole week without income?

Yes I like it since they no want get sense

Nigerians don't know what they're playing with. From one pole to the other Agbero collecting money for Tinubu

They can't do it. It will not even in last. People that don't have savings 😁😁😁😁

As if all of them will align with this boycott.most of them will take the opportunity to exploit stranded passengers if really that commence,they have no collective cause.

Vote apc out

This illegal collection levies is what who we know wants to move to federal level. Vote wisely. Ire o!🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️
