List of 6 Reasons to Hate Danfo in Lagos.


Danfos are the pariah Volkswagen commercial buses painted yellow, the official colours of Lagos State. They are always on the road for nearly 24 hours every day. For Lagosians who are yet to own cars, the danfo is an effective way to move around the ever busy and bustling state.

Besides, if you are always on Lagos roads, you would have noticed the shenanigans of these drivers which can be very frustrating and annoying. Thus, their hatred for them. Jumia Travel shares some of the reasons why Lagosians hate danfos.

Danfo drivers are very reckless
Danfos are self-acclaimed kings of Lagos roads. They are uncontrollably reckless when driving. They will never listen to the caution of anyone except that of LASTMA. If the Lastma officials are not on the highway, it’s a free-for-all. They will even tell you to take over the steering if you attempt to caution them.

They don’t respect anyone
The Danfo drivers and conductors don’t respect anyone not even the elderly. They address you with so much disrespect that you wish you will never board one again. It is even worse if you don’t have change. To avoid trouble, you should always have your correct change.

The Danfos are always dirty
There is no argument about this-danfos are always dirty. Only a handful of them clean their buses.


Indiscriminate fares
Whether there is a fuel hike or not, the fares of the danfos are always fluctuating. When they observe quite a number of people at the bus stop, they immediately hike transport fares. With a horrified façade, they either wave the danfos away or board it.

They can delay…
If you are in a hurry, you should completely avoid danfos because there is a very high possibility that you will miss that appointment. They will always stop to buy fuel, pick up passengers as well as stop passengers to alight.

They are the major cause of traffic
Although everyone is culpable when it comes to Lagos traffic, the danfo drivers take a large percentage of the blame. They stop in the middle of the road indiscriminately without minding other road users. In fact, danfo drivers only think about themselves and how to make quick money. That’s all. So, you have to be extremely patient!

president Buhari is likely to return to UK in 3 weeks

Following his return to Nigeria on March 10, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is likely to go back to the United Kingdom in three weeks. It seems the President is not back in the country to stay for long as sources in the Presidency and his medical team have reportedly said the President will likely return to the UK to continue treatment for an unnamed ailment, Sahara Reporters reports. There are reports that the president's medical team did not necessarily give him a go ahead to travel but he reportedly went against medical advice to travel because some members of his political circle were afraid that their influence was about to slip and they pressured him to come home and reduced anxiety among his followers. A source reportedly disclosed that the president finally succumbed to his people's pleas that he should leave the UK late yesterday, adding that the schedule left little room for preparation. Due to the unplanned decision to leave UK, the presidential jet ...

Check out The World’s First ‘Autonomous Aerial Vehicle’ For Transportion.

A Chinese drone maker has revealed a giant quadcopter big enough to fit a passenger will be buzzing through the Dubai skyline in July. Dubbed EHang 184, the drone is described as the world’s first ‘Autonomous Aerial Vehicle’ for transporting people. The rider punches in a destination on a touch screen in front of the passenger seat, then the drone would fly there automatically. Mattar al-Tayer, the head of Dubai’s Roads & Transportation Agency, made the announcement about it flight in Dubai today at the World Government Summit. ‘You know how it feels to sit in a Ferrari? This is 10 times better,’ George Yan, co-founder of Ehang said in an interview with DailyMail.com last year. Unveiled at CES in Las Vegas last year, the all-electric vehicle has four arms with a total of eight propellers at the end. The company says the 184 is autonomous, so all the passenger has to do is enter in their destination in the smartphone app, sit back, and let the drone take over. See more...
