Instead of embarrassment from anyhow riders, there’s option to just buy vouchers which they accept at the Lekki ikoyi link bridge. Attachment below. I bought 10 which is 3k. Due to slow systems in getting etags

Let me share an experience with you guys.
3months ago I picked up a rider at the airport and dropped her off somewhere around Ikotu.

Madam said she liked my services and my car AC so she booked me up for an offline trip to drop her at the airport 3-4day after.

She doesn’t mind my distance from her house since she could hardly get a ride that early morning from her area to the airport. She has tried severally according to her.

We settled at a and pickup time was 5:30am meaning I’ll have to wake up as early as 4:00am and definitely leave my house latest 4:30am on Saturday morning.
As guy man concern wey get responsility and rental to pay na I decided to do TDB on the island on Friday and along the line I had a puncture on one of my tyers. One thing I don’t joke with on car is Tyler and breaks so I Tried to get a vulcanizer on the mainland but couldn’t I then got a trip to surulere then from there found my way to Maryland junction.
Vulcanizer yapka everywhere, I bought hot tea y baba dey Bleep nonsense commot for the tyer body. Under 30min he was done.

I enter Allen from there do one or two trip within checked my time it was just 2am or there about, Ikeja was going dead even with my two apps on over 30min no request. Menh! Oya na, na to enter house be d next tin. Got to Abule egba within 5min road free like the way that leads to heaven.

Had a quick shower, enter bed, jumped up after like 1hr+. Do one or two enter road. Was very close to madam street only for me to get a text message from madam “I’m already on my way to the airport please don’t border coming again”. The cold wey enter my body enh I almost run enter trailer....

Ok I thought wise since I’m out very early make I just start hustle na... on a trip to the island lasma arrested me and I ended up parting 11k that morning.

Since that day I vowed never to do offline trip again unless the person pay me part in advance.

Felicity001:

Yes the seller said car was bought brand new by Guinness from Honda Place here in Lagos.

Chai! I’m feeling guilty now for advicing him not to buy it but I asked to ask the seller how he has been driving without duties he didn’t give me reply to my question.

Felicity001:

Plus other ogas and observers in the house I hail.

It me your guy please I need you good advice.

Take for instance you’ve an offer to take an HP on a 9ja used Camry (big daddy), 05. Investor spent 1.3m and needs 2.3m in 2yrs.
Do you think it’s a fair deal for driver? Or how much should be reasonable for this Nigeria used car?

Or would you rather investor get a direct tokunbo and everything falls within 1.6m how much would be fair as return in this condition?

Urgent response pls.

Thanks all

Very tough decision, brother

Personally, i always like to consider THE DURATION. Two years is a really long time to drive a Naija used Camry, and then own it.

If I'm an investor, i will delete the idea of buying a tokunboh. The reason is because most drivers dont end up finishing the plan, and the car will end up as a Naija used; Rejected and stigmatized

I'll prefer getting a naija used that is very okay. I mean Very Sound. Lets say it ends up at the 1.3 million. Instead of putting it up for 2 years(104 weeks) at 2.3 million(I'm guessing 25k every week), i'll put it up for 2.1 million, (35k every week for 60 weeks)

The shorter the duration, the more realistic it is to complete the HP plan

My Opinion

Felicity001:

Ma’am you won’t blame us oh it’s the situation of the country that tailored us to be like that. The person I’m even trying to assist with this information believe me I don’t know him and never have I meet him but we belong to same group on Ocar WhatsApp group.

The guy in question is married with kids and he’s in a HP and he’s finding it very difficult to meet up with just taxify baring in mind Ocar is not meeting up to drivers expectations. I just pitied him and promised to assist him by ranking my head and asking people with better experience than I.

So don’t blame us blame the system which is cause by our leaders.

peeps4u:
I sincerely think AngryIgboMan is right to an extent.
A driver who stops a trip becuase of several stopovers or a lengthy stopover is in order.

It Is in the driver's discretion to either accept or reject stop over. Any driver who rejects stopovers hasnt done bad.

That a driver accepts doesn't mean all drivers should. We have different targets in this hustle and stopover is a cheat and enemy to acheiving daily targets.

While I may accept stopover in some occasions, I could still reject it in some occasions. Depends on mood and the riders.

My advice is just that in every issue, even when rejecting riders, let's just handle it with all civility.

Good luck to everyone

I don't know when some of us will have sense in this life. Do you know the major reason why we are so messed up and useless as a people and a nation?

ITS BECAUSE WE ARE TOO INDISPLINED. WE DON'T LIKE TO FOLLOW RULES AND WE ALWAYS LIKE SHORT CORNERS!

Any rider that takes you on Multiple stops is being smart and you the driver is BEING STUPPID. Riders are aware that if they end the trip while on a stop and request another one when they are done, they will have to pay another base fare which will start counting from 500 on Bolt. What they are avoiding is the base fare.

THE VERY WICKED ONES WHO ARE ENTITLED ALSO WANTS TO HAVE THE FEELING THAT YOU ARE THERE PERSONAL DRIVER WHOM THEY CAN ORDER AROUND AND USE AS MUCH AS THEY WANT.

As a good driver, unless you know how to deal with them with SAKA TINUBU AVENUE or YOU CAME TO LAGOS TO CARRY LAST, DO NOT ENGAGE IN MULTIPLE STOPS OR A STOP THAT WILL TAKE MORE THAN 3 MINUTES.

Are you aware that you make more money by the kilometres you covered and not the time you wasted? Why do you think the money increases as you are moving rapidly? ITS BECAUSE YOUR APPS HAVE SPEEDOMETER COUNTERS THAT WORK WITH GPS SENSORS TO KNOW YOU ARE MOVING AND INCREASE YOUR FARE. Once you stop, THE CLOCKOMETER kicks in and starts counting time.

Uber charges 11 naira per minute and 60 Naira per kilometre.

This implies that if you stay one place on a trip for 20 minutes, you earn only 220 naira. Two hundred and twenty naira!

Are you aware that if you take a rider to Maryland Mall and he or she goes shopping that lasts 20 minutes (Some wicked riders do this), that same 20 minutes is enough time from Maryland to Victoria Island and earn like 2500?

Uber clearly stated it in there rider app that "Stops should be kept at 3 minutes!"

This implies that if you are on a trip, a rider is only permitted to make stops and pickup something quickly and continue on the trip!

Yesterday at Maryland mall, I was at Uber office to sort out some issues with receiving requests. I met a driver and one way or the other, we started talking. I discovered that he was on a trip and the rider told her to stop at the mall for shopping! Not an offline oo BECAUSE HIS APP WAS ACTIVELY READING AND RUNNING. I went into Uber office and finished what am doing which took over 30 minutes because other drivers were there.

When I came out, this DUNDEE UNITED of a driver was still waiting like a MORRON in his car. I asked him sarcastically if he is alright .... The MANCHESTER MUGU UNITED retorted if HE LOOKS SICK TO ME.

I jejely went into my car and decided to observe. 10 minutes later, THE FAT BLOB WOMAN OF A RIDER THAT LOOKS LIKE WINNIEH THE POOH came out with her shopping and I watched the driver rush to help her load it into the boot. The woman asked the driver she hopes the app is still running and the MORROPY driver replied yes.

I shouted "Chineke (God)" in my mind.

Probably, this one is being nice because he expects to win a CONTRACT TO SUPPLY 1 BILLION BAGS OF CEMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF OSHODI APAPA EXPRESSWAY.

Lol

The trip will not be #3000 on any app, unless there is surge. I have done Festac to Yaba many times and it ends at 2k plus with commission.
3k was a very fair deal for someone residing in Festac.

But then, the thread is transforming. He got bashed for making an offer. Even now, we cheer ourselves up when a driver is rude to rider unnecessarily.

I've been thinking my thinking was wrong because I thought I was the only one surprised by the cheers.

I remember one of those offlines I did. It was Chillex8 that linked me up with the client.

The offer was to drive someone from Agbara estate to IBIS Hotel, Ikeja. Meetup time was 7:00am on a Saturday morning. Rider offered #8,000.

I accepted; which sounds insane.

But here's how I reasoned it. I will wake up 5:30am, bath and leave my house by 6:00 am so I can get to Agbara by 7:00 am. If the rider is on time, we can leave by 7:30am and be in Ikeja by 9:00am; traffic or no traffic. Let's say I use #2,000 fuel for the trip, I will have #6,000 in my pocket by 9:00 am. I'm not paying Uber or Bolt any commission.

That was exactly what played out on the said day. Plus rider kukuma told me to do airport pickups of expatriates coming in throughout the day and dropoffs the next day plus returning him to Agbara estate on Monday afternoon.

There was enough profit that weekend.

Nice write up bro. Thanks for the info. Yesterday I took a rider from Ikoyi to jakande 1st gate and she asked me to wait let her quickly rush up to drop her items and that I should take her to cadogan in jakande. While she came down I checked the fare it was 2k, she spent about 10minutes and when we started moving I checked again the same 2k, we got to her destination and I ended the trip still 2k. I told her that I have to do review. I did review and put 2500 uptill now it is still on review. However, I she gave me 2,200 that whatever it is I should call her. I was really angry. Same yesterday, in the afternoon I took a guy from karimu kotun vi to eko hotel to change money, from eko hotel to the palms and waited for him 15minutes then to friends colony in jakande to pick up something and from there to his final destination inside jakande when I ended the trip I saw 2,300 I was mad!!!

Abeg!!! Anybody with saka should help my ministry. Pls, call me 07059962728.

Thanks

NOW, LET ME TALK ABOUT ME, "ÏŽŹÖÙ, AN UBER DRIVER

I switch on my app, and a request enters

Me:Hello, good morning. It's the uber you ordered
Rider: Oga where are you? Follow your map immediately. I'm waiting
Me: Sir/Ma, at least you should respond to my greetings before dishing out orders
Rider: I don't have time for this. Okay Good morning sir. Be fast Abeg. I'm late
Me: I ...will never pay. After my first bad experience, I swore never to return any item. Even if I see a Rolls Royce Wraith key in my car, I'm flinging it outta my window


This is me, and this is how I survive everyday

mrsteel:

You are very right @bold. The big question is who pay for the time wasted during stop over? These riders will never compensate u for your time wasted. That's the truth. Some drivers accept stop over because they don't have strength for arguments, not that they approve it. Stopover is shortage to drivers, regardless of the time. Riders who engage in frequent stop over also have the intention to cheat drivers & women are mostly fond of this. Bank is at d front of ur house, until u order uber, that is when u know u will withdraw. Why not stroll to d bank & withdraw before ordering a ride? Some of these stop over are avoidable, but they will want to make u their personal driver for 500 naira trip & at d end of d trip they will still be dragging 50 naira change with u. Forgetting u have sacrificed money & time waiting for them at stop over.
