Thanks everyone.
He was confident about it and said its from uber.
And today was the first time I'll check receipt of payment and saw I wasn't even charged.
I'll try to get it off my mind. Its just annoying.
Paid extra 1k I didn't bargain for because I already knew the amount (rate) I always pay.

Since he lied/defrauded you, if you like, you can report to Uber. However, you can be kind enough to forgive him as a bigger person & see the 1k as a tip.

The issue is not about the 1k but about a dubious driver who is taking advantage of riders. He should be reported because he will do it again.

Some people will carry cooler of rice, beans and soup plus other items on top 600 naira fare, still go lounge for owners corner. Even keke marwa will charge higher. Abeg free the driver.
When I see people like that, I tell them I’m sorry I won’t be able to carry the load. Most of them always beg for offline and pay a better fare.

God bless you Sir for this comment. You see, when I see some people pretend as if they know it all in this business, I laugh. Las Las... If they get 1 naira problem, dem no fit solve. No be the same Romeo that dru23 is tellin us that cannot pay for house rent and have a car by now? Same romeo that was always intimidating us with screenshots and I heard he went ahead to defraud partners later... Mtcheeww.

See the stupid argument about reporting a driver! These same animals and basstards... If you tell them to follow and go on strike for better welfare for drivers, they will frustrate it!

Infact last week, I went to pickup an Indian man from Okota coming to Ikeja. Las Las... I knew that trip will not pass 1300-1500. But you need to see the Load this man and his partner were carrying! Even Okada won't take him to Ikeja with those loads for less than 10,000! I mean you need to see load. It will take 6 bikes to move it. Las Las, I told the man am not going and cancelled. He begged for offline and later paid me 8,500!!!

I also rememeber one time I came to Magodo and got a trip to Otunba Jobi Fele Way. I already knew the trip will not pass 700. But you also need to see the load these folks were carrying. 5 Coolers, 2 crates of mineral and one Carton of malt. I told them its 2k offline. They refused and said its there right. That uber charged them 600 estimate. I said in my mind "Kitikpa gbagbuo gi na that uber there". I quickly told them to call Keke! You know why? If my shock spoil, those things won't give one bit of fvvck... Na me go still go repair am!!!

This is same place one driver came and was boasting that he did Onitsha for 30k and was proud saying he spent only 8k on fuel to and fro. I was laughing at his imbeccility. Same Onitsha I know sienna drivers that charge 50-80k to go to!!! Poverty and wealth is a thing of the mind. Skme people have been cursed by God and man to remain poor for life!! To the driver that collected money for load... Kudos Please collect more inasmuch as its over load!!!

That's the job a driver signed up for bro..its better to do the noble thing, reject the trip and further negotiate offline than to cheat the rider and charge for luggage..Yes I get it..it hurts but we must not lose our conscience to make a quick bug...its wrong to charge independent of the receipt...better negotiate offline than defraud the rider..my 2 cents

Lolzz, don't mind them. One day I got an Uber request at one event center at VI. I drove straight to the place and saw some guys bringing out cooking utensils, big coolers, unwashed plates dripping oil that were used during the event. I called the person that requested she said her boys are there and that she's packing some things inside I just laughed. I didn't tell her I can't carry her stuffs because she will tell me to cancel immediately and I won't shop the cancellation fee. I patiently waited for five minutes to elapse boom I started madam these load is too much for an Uber car naa, she said then why are u still waiting cancel it. See this woman na so I just enter my car and cancelled immediately.
My problem is they won't even appreciate after all, they think as a driver u are supposed to carry anything load.
Some guys rated me 1star because they took me through a rough road only for them to command me Oga open Boot, I came down telling them I want to see what they are loading inside my boot. And it was that iron they used to roast suya they managed to squeeze it inside my boot and the Boot was left open I begged them to add something they said it's a card trip and they have no cash.

It's so painfully painful that they rated me low because of what happened.
Since then no more nonsense load or we negotiate

My man this is a far better approach that you took than charging for luggage...I once got a request to carry a woman to the international airport who was running late..as them dey bring out the luggage I just dey look..but it was like the luggage no gree finish..mehn I just told her I cant go alone that she should request another uber make we share the luggage...she begged me and said she was in a hurry..minus the load sef four people sat at the back and two (and adult and a little child) in front..as we were driving I was literally in tears because my shock absorber was speaking to me...I was asking myself how much sef this woman wan gimme wey go equate the damage to my shocks...when I got to the airport the woman gave me an additional 500 naira or so I was heart broken..I just smiled and left very broken...

Truth is some riders are heartless and uber/taxify business dynamics no send driver in that regard..the noble thing is reject the trip and negotiate offline than cheat the system..I learnt a bitter lesson that day and I never repeated same again.

Thanks for your input. I just need to get a car as soon as possible that's why I put the condition there Incase a partner is thinking in that direction.
There are a lot of things in e-hailing biz that you can do with desperation and get it right. Getting a car is certainly not one of them. Working on those terms is like selling your soul to the devil.

My own experience was a particular day at lekki chicken republic to be precise after the place restaurant. A rider requested and on getting to the pick up location believe me that this person wanted to put frozen chickens as in frozen chicken dripping the melted water on the floor. I told him I can't he asked why I said it gonna give my car offensive smell and I can't allow that he replied and said that's how other drivers do pick him saying I'm the first person to reject his request.

At this point it came back to my memory where riders in my car while discussing tells me that cars on uber and taxify now have bad odour and smell as well as mosquitoes bitting them in a car.

Each riders always comment on the neatness of my car.

Another incident was a request on the mainland around Mangoro when the rider had a live ram as in live cow requesting me to open the trunk for him to put a life ram and cow in my car.

Believe me people now abuse using uber and taxify all because everybody I mean majority can now afford to request because of the little amount at the end if the trip.

Na wa o ooo.

Honestly it's really annoying..the fares as so cheap that it attracts all kinds of riders..I still beleive the platform should not be ridiculously cheap as is the case now so that way it naturally selects the riders that use the service..not that it will solve the problem but reduce abuse greatly..

Have you observed the riders that form and want you to drive your car into their bedrooms for pickup or drop them off inside their parlours are the one that don't have cars themselves grin

There assume drivers have low IQs not knowing that alotta guys are graduates and some even have masters...all is well sha
