Agbero means “check-in clerk”
Ero is “passenger-current
Iro is “liquid-current”
Agbe is a collector
e.g. tank placed at edge of a roof for rain water collection purposes. Or “roof gutter”
Area boy means “locality tout” because they are notorious. e.g. indigenous American city revenue collectors in streets of downtown New-Orleans,Louisiana.
Some of this guys should be running in the Olympics they are fast asf 😂😂😂😂
U guys are back 🇳🇬
The Agbero are really a big problem in Lagos. They are mostly around the yellow bus. Normally, they are supposed to work for the bus garage and the money collected through ticket sales help to manage these boys and the garage areas. Things fall apart when people allegedly said politicians started to use them as thugs during the elections and thus they started growing wings to the point where they had become uncontrollable.
it also happens here in kenya in nairobi
@@mjukuuwakwetu356 really?
In 1 day a bus driver is meant to pay for a least 6-10 tickets for him to operate his bus, that is why they try to evade the ones they can
You guys are doing a great job, ❤ from 🇳🇬
Area boys are very important in the transporting system of Nigeria, although they have their pros and cons (in which the cons outweighs the pro in most cases).
The usually carry along two types of ticket; the state owned ticket and the union ticket (this belongs to the association which all area boys are members of).
The state ticket money is meant to be remitted to the State govt for the maintenance and repair of the roads and garage; while the union ticket money is used to cater for the expenses of the union (salary payment, ticket printing, uniforms etc.)
Only the yellow bus transport has this isssue in lagos state
This one is for the Lagos people lol, it's like a whole different world over there 🤣🤣
Yep not in my lovely Abuja.
The reason why those drivers don't wanna pay it's actually because the money does them no good in return
I mean bad roads
No street lights
No security
And I believe this are where those money meant to be spent on 😢😢😢
You guys know Lagos living already without setting foot in Nigeria
It is legit and the money is for the govt but most people don’t know we would rather just believe the money is for the area boys and that’s why the drivers don’t want to pay at times but it’s a compulsory govt levy on the yellow bus transports
😂😂😂😂🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️
This actually happens only in Lagos. Most of those taxes given to the government doesnt actually flow to the economy. We have corrupt a government. Also this method is not supposed to be used in this day and age. We have parks but these agbero guys are normally on the road. There is also no transparency to the public on what they use these taxes for.
The money is for the government actually 😂😂 that’s why they do anyhow
The only thing they sre giving them. Is peace
It's all fraud... one ticket for lagos state, and the other ticket is collected unbehalf of the national union transport which the agberos are part..of finally, all these monies collected are supposed to be used for development but unfortunately none of this happens the money is embezzled, it is a fraudulent cycle that repeats itself over and over😢
@@bamideleolaseni8750 it's taxes, they're meant to be collected anyways, the embezzling of funds is a different matter on his own, the problem is it's meant to be digitalised
Personally, I like to believe it isn’t all fraudulent (We’re in Nigeria so part of it probably is). But i think it’s an initiative to get these street boys working and off the streets instead of getting involved in illegal activities. This job opportunity was created especially for them. And it’s not all bad that they have an association that pockets some of it. The government receives a bigger cut but the rest of it can be salaries for these guys working. So its a legit job
Ticket money is different from Mark money
You buy tickets before you start working @8am then will start collecting Mark money
Don't worry about the manners they are doing it.
Nigerians are naturally stubborn in nature.
Sometimes every living human being in Nigeria need some aggressiveness in order for them to do what they ought to have done.
It may not be normal but it is the reality of living in Nigeria.
The aggressiveness if used in good endeavors, it could make millions.
Look at the Nigerians living in US, UK and across Asia Countries.
We are aggressive and hungry to study and also to make money in every chosen field.
it doesn't go to government, that is why some drivers don't want to pay, it's going to their masters and their masters pay them at the end of the day, it's a day job not mouthly, if you go you get paid, if you don't no payment for you that's all,
It gets to the government lmao... maybe the chairman embezzles, buh notbthe agberos, cos they've tickets
We have area boys all over different parts of different Nigerian rian cities. They take additional fees from drivers. The way they do it makes them suitable for crime. Some people lose phones and other items at the bus stops. They can be very unstable in their behaviours. Today, they are nice and even generous, another day, one boy can empty your pocket without your knowledge
They do this in almost all the State in Nigeria, especially the private commercial busses, The reason they are aggressive is because the chairman can pick them out Job. Most of the remittance goes to the state government,
Sometimes in a pack
I totally disagree with you. It doesn't happen in many state like this. Have traveled to many states in Nigeria Lagos state own is totally abnormal.
No, it's a Lagos thing. Everyone knows this.
Only Lagos nobody get time for this kind of thing in delta state
@@adeelijah1608Mr man forget story Agbero full Sapele Warri everywhere,go okirigwe amukpe for Sapele,go oghara junction
❤❤❤❤
Owo mi da means where my money at? in Yoruba language.
It’s all criminalities of which the government is aware of, it’s heartbreaking 😢, I lived in Lagos and this is one of the reasons people are leaving Lagos, very sad, this guys are used by the government for political thuggery and after that , this is the only work they can do 😢
Those ticket monies is suppose to go to the government, either local or state as revenue, but unfortunately most people believe the monies doesn't get to the government. Because of the bad system we have here.
First to be here
We appreciate you!
First
We appreciate you!
Sincerely this topic is not something we can explain in the comments cus it’s a lot. A Nigerian needs to sit down and give deep explanation. So when u hear Nigerians complain about agbero, a lot is involved. But we have a few good ones though.
Such nonsense used to happen to our matatu industry but it took one cabinet secretary of government to bring sanity,its actually backward,they should benchmark in Kenya
Our current president got to power through these boys. They are outside the polling and voting stations beating people and stealing ballot boxes
Gosh, Lagos, this video is actually giving me anxiety that I had to watch in two parts.
With all the good things Las Gidi has, the stress level is just way too high.
Such an aggressive environment.
The system needs to be sanitised and mafe more orderly, even if it us not digitalised completely to save jobs imho
If agberos are taken off this "duty" it will be worse as they will be forced into straight criminality if they are not retrained and out inti paying jobs.
They need to overhaul the "system" though.
I honestly don't think they remit those cash to the government tbh
And the violence sometimes is just something else
Plus there's agencies that conduct traffic so where did they get that job?🌚
Let me break it down… Agebro is definitely AREA BOYS, area boys are organised gangs and they mostly recruit touts, street muchins because those are the only people willing to engage is such degrading jobs to find ends meets. The association work indirectly for the state government by remitting money “levy” to the state government. Now the problem comes from the fact that it’s widely believed that they don’t remit the funds to the government and if they do just a little and mostly packet it to themselves and the chairman of the parks and enriches their pockets. Another major problem is they take too much money from drivers without being accounted because they can’t see why they pay. No good roads or any sort of support to be paying such funds. Bye
Explaining further agebro now tagged has area boys but originally means “agba ero” which means “receivers of commuters”. This system was created to take levy, toll for the purpose of building infrastructures for the commuters and drivers. However no such thing is happening and government can’t discontinue it because they need the support of these street muchins for their campaigns during election to do their dirty works.
First it's legit, though they're usually aggressive,and those buses are registered, that's why it's advisable to take a bus at the park cos they're registered, let me tell you something, majoity of us Yorubas living in south west Nigeria trust these Agberos than the police officers, they safeguard the community, though there are bad eggs amongst them, and they're different from the homeless folks that rob on streets, though the present president is trying to digitalize and streamline it, to prevent fraud and limit agberos
Such nonsense 😂
Understand that no such thing as welfare in Nigeria like what u Guys called what? EBT card? That does not exist in Nigeria. u got to get to that money. way your ticket? Means where is your ticket. u gotta be aggressive when you are dealing them if you are too soft, they will step on you. These are hood buses in Lagos, just one state
Everything about this video is a lie.
Conductors exist all over the country. Agbero js not a Yoruba word that means Area Boys its literal meaning is “one who calls passengers to a vehicle”
Actually agbero doesn’t mean area boys, what it actually means in Yoruba context, these are people who look for passengers going to the location where the driver is heading too, then after getting passengers, he tends to collect money from d driver, but if the driver refuses, then that’s where the problem is.
Am actually not a lagosian, but with the little idea I have
This all I can say
Thanks for sharing.
