This is ignorant.
The disposable income in London alone is bigger than Nigeria as a whole.

Car requirement : 2017 and above

There's something wrong with APC in Lagos. They do things with impunity. Who can afford 2017 Corolla or Camry for Uber.?

They've killed Gokada and co, it's time for them to kill Bolt and Uber

Rubbish, sanwo olu no wan make like bearable for this guy's oh, 10m, 25m for wetin still tax on all passengers nawah oh. Still insist on brand new cars or not less than 3 years of manufactured means 2017 to 2020 cars nawah oh

When your next door neighbour with much better ease of doing business has a special task force whose only aim is to draw companies from your country, then you know you are in an economic war Zone.

Unfortunately, Nigeria don't know what time it is yet.

Hasino2258:
Ease of doing business in Nigeria ehn is nothing to write home about laslas na the drivers go hear am

Drivers or passengers??

Someone needs to sue the company collecting people"'s data without their permission.

Nigerians like yapping about our big market.

A market can be big and useless.

Dstv makes twice more money in South Africa than it does in Nigeria.

Nigeria is gradually becoming a big market of very poor people which is not useful to any serious investor.

OralB:
This a survey.
Do you still enjoy OralB like before?

Who did this to you?

Wow! e- hailing cab companies are finding it tough from regulators all over the world.

But Lagos should have waited till next year to implement this. Ground no level now.

VP Osibanjo will be busy shouting ease of doing business AND Economic sustainability plan upandan how does this amount to EASE of DOING business?

Imposing all sort at a time businesses and individuals are trying to come out of COVID-19 pandemic sutuation do these people think through things at ALL?

What is the essence of governance to provide safety for citizens and enabling enviroment for businesses or TO PUNISH US ALL?

Becuase that's what LASG and FGN is good at doing.......GOKADA CEO might still be alive today if LASG ban did not get him out of here....

Certainly they are making one for someone SOON IT WILL BE OUT

Don't mind the joker, let him continue churning out draconian dumb policies and be doing irrelevant press releases with "Calm Down", las las he will end up as a one term governor like Ambode. No be d same Lagos wey I dey, . Why can't d mumu tell danfo transport union to buy 2017 Vanagon bus? Oh I forgot, na der partners in agbero business be dat. Danfo can continue using 1982 Vanagon buses that are moving coffins, dat wan no consign dem. Useless Agberos government

that one off me bro.

Regulating them is not a bad idea but govt should also know that uber,bolt etc have and are still providing employment for Ngerians and should be encouraged


Your home is incomplete without good quality furniture thats why we are here for you

What's the difference between Uber and a guy with a car that can easily gets called up whenever his services is needed to go drop or pick somebody up, and still gets paid?


Has Uber not been paying taxes to the government before?

Seems the government isn't tired of some vices going on in Lagos.

For every company driven away, over 10 good guys becomes bad guys who are ready to cause havoc and see it as a norm, just to ensure they survive.

Little things the government turns away from, are the little things that are causing massive problems all over the country.


Life in Nigeria is not easy. Those in power do not know this, because, they have enough to dwell on.

As things stand the enlightened wealthy can see that imposing hardship on the populace can bring problems to their front door. Only the determinedly foolish believe that wealth can insulate them from social problems. But lets even take this regulation apart. Why are you regulating? Is there a particular risk to society from the ride hailing? If so, why not address the particular risk? Why eye their revenue when these companies are doing the following:
1. Making a difficult city a little more livab;e
2. Reducing the amount of vehicles on the road; and,
3. Thereby cutting down on carbon emissions and road wear outs.

Its a stupid decision by LASG to compare London or NY regulation of ride hailing companies - In those locales, there are excellent alternatives with the black cab and the NY taxi service respectively. What is the alternative in Lagos? Is it those clapped out yellow cabs?
LASG I hope you read this because you act like the mafioso - you squeeze every legitimate private business and yet derive your revenues and reputation from them at the same time - a clear case of spitting in your own well. Those lazy researchers (most of them fellow millennials with people on this page) who lift regulations verbatim from more developed climes are not doing you a service. How well are you regulating the danfo's and agberos by the way - how is that going? I am sorry for venting on your response my bro but this piece of news just makes me angry.

ayoomo9:
No!

What changed please?

How many passengers have died using Uber and Taxify? But Danfos that kills passengers with their reckless driving and dead dilapidated moving coffins of a bus killing Lagosians every other week HAVE NOT been regulated. Life doesn't matter, na money matters ~ "Lagos State Agbero Government"

Ok







Pls someone should save me with something, nothing is too small, i need to go to work, thanks 6027315640 keystone bank.

I don’t understand why people reason this way.
A brand new vehicle for a taxi?! In Nigeria ?!!...within three years of manufacture?!!!
This makes almost no sense.
If the operators/drivers can afford a brand new car or at least a vehicle within its first three years of manufacture, then almost nobody will be running cab business.

babajeje123:
This is wickedness of the highest order. Uber and bolt drivers couldn't work for months due to the pandemic, and now that things are getting normalised, the state government is coming with this BS. the most painful aspect of it is that the money they would raked in will be looted and not used for the masses. Lagos hasn't been bad as this Sanwo's tenure. The man is not in touch with the masses.

...

Entertain yourself Now!

I doubt there is a 2017 car that cost less than 3.5m especially with the current exchange rate. This seems more like a strategy to reduce the number of drivers on these apps.

Draconian laws, modern day slavery equivalent. Lagos model of taxation and Tripple taxation is beyond tax it is economical and business destruction to put Lagos businesses in perpetual bondage.

Nigerian politicians are very covetous and look for ways to destroy successful businesses so they can bring in their poorly run businesses.

israelmao:
Lagos in the lead

in the lead?? u are about to pay 2ce the amount u pay for bolt & uber and ur happy with it. this would have made sense if all our roads are good but the roads are not even worthy of the cars

Nigeria goes overkill on regulations but zero initiative on meaningful investment. We're going to be here for a long time

Life does not end in Lagos.

Thank God there's Abuja, PH, Kano, Owerri, Enugu.

Infact, there's even Ghana and other w/African countries.

If Lagos and by extension, Nigeria's policy doesn't favour us, we move!

mamaafrik:
So they reversed land use act only to introduce these,Sanwo olu........., Tinubu why??
People are suffering for crying out loud,under this harsh condition try to meet end needs.
Lagos has no soft loan,no special fund for S&MEs ,not to talk of Research and special infrastructures,l agos should be owning strong companies in Agric,car assembly plant,Industries,oil and gas etc
Let's all have fear of God.
Lagos need to start a census and documentation of all her citizens with an i.D,he get whyoooooo

You voted for them. So enjoy it while it last.

This is madness
why re they doing this
all they re doing to just to say
monkey dey work baboon dey chop this
APC regime is a thrash
just them selves alone
how many drivers can afford
such amount of money
hahaha
they are just talking millions like it's kobo
na waoo

https://techpoint.africa/2020/08/11/lagos-ride-hailing-regulations-august/

let me help out with what this means. uber and bolt might not comply (esp uber an international coy) and might force them out of biz which will lead to the govt rolling out their own cab hailing services kitted with all the accessories.

It must be brand new

Where the vehicle is not new, the vehicle must be within the first three (3) years of its manufacture as specified by the manufacturer


The bolded is pure wickedness, how are people meant to make any money out of it?

Donedeal1:
Well thought out policy.

Y do u say so?

To me before a government comes up with things like this they need to have analyzed the net profit of these companies to know if they are making the kind of money they are trying to ask them as fee
