You don’t provide jobs for us, you called the youths lazy, we went and racked our brain to form a business to make ends meet, instead of trying to make it easier for us, you are making it difficult with stupid ridiculous policies #SayNoToNipostFee

All this country does is take , take, take, take , take…. you’ll think with all they collect from the already suffering population, they’ll at least be able to provide the most basic things but no. Nothing is working, but yet they keep taking & taking & taking #SayNoToNipostFee

There’s a pandemic, there’s no money. People are out of jobs already; especially in Lagos where bike hailing & keke riders were put out business. People are tryna set up businesses to create jobs & survive, yet all you do is cripple them constantly, why ?? #SayNoToNipostFee

This shit affects EVERYONE because prices for delivery will be spiked in order for courier/logistics services to pay for this thing. Spoiling business for people & frustrating people’s lives even more. These guys are so essential especially in a place like Lagos #SayNoToNipostFee

How can you be a regulatory body and also a key player in the game?
If Nipost was effecient, we wouldn’t have a need for dispatch riders.
The Nigerian government is hell bent on destroying every means of survival for the ordinary man. This is pure evil. #SayNoToNipostFee

NIPOST hasn’t been able to sort out themselves with all the money they’ve been collecting. Either packages will come broken, they’ll bring the wrong package, your item will go missing etc. Now others are tryna get it right & you’re robbing them in broad daylight #SayNoToNipostFee

Let’s begin by addressing the fact that NIPOST is ‘regulating’ businesses they’re directly competing with. Businesses that only exist because @NipostNgn is one of the top 5 inefficient institutions in Nigeria. #SayNoToNipostFee

It doesn’t matter if you are not a business owner. Even as a consumer, it would drastically affect the amount you’d pay for goods delivery. That’s the ripple effect.
Let’s all join our voices and speak up against this ridiculous & business-killing fee. #SayNoToNipostFee pic.twitter.com/aViQh38Qy8

Buhari’s government wants dispatch companies to pay ₦1,000,000 to them before they commence operation.
The same Government was supposed to provide good roads and supportive policy, but No! They’ve done nothing more than enslaving the people.
It’s pathetic! #SayNoToNipostFee
