Guys see Wetin Uber knack me this morning ọ. I have never had reason to cheat them o.

Below is my response to them.

Dear Uber,

Please note that I have never done any of the things listed above. Since I got activated on Uber, I have been more concerned about delivering excellent service to my riders.

You can get in touch with all my recent riders please to clarify this.

I believe this is an error from your system. Kindly look into it speedily. I'm not a cheat and will never be one for whatever reason.

I'm only concerned about your number 2 and 3 reasons. I know on some occasions riders might ask to be taken to an address different from where they indicated on the app. I ve had reason to pick riders too from a different place indicated for pick up. But this I know Uber had sent them codes to be assured I pick up the right rider.

I look forward to hearing from you please.

Warm regards,


Guys Wetin you think ọ.

But how did we get to this point in this country that local government illiterate, touts, mechanic, vulcanizer and Co can arrest cars on the road, taking the place of police officers. Removing road signs just to lure their prey into their trap. Are the activities of local government tout backed up by law or is one of those abnormalities that will dance along in this country. I was at one of the local government in Lagos, you need to see how these bird of ill-omen tout are mocking drivers about drivers begging them, money negotiations and how they strategize and stuff. Is really worrisome because is more like NNPC work for them. I really pity some uber drivers yesterday at their mercy, begging them with 20k+ despite the inconsiderate uber fares. Lets just watch out! 1luv!
I had run-ins with these clowns at Yaba the other day. About five of them surrounded my car at a junction, I asked the person in the car with me if it was a one way, he said no. I became angry and warned the fools when they attempted to deflate my tires. I completely ignored them and was driving away while hoping they don't touch my car to avoid chaos in the area since I didn't commit any traffic offence.

These touts are having the upper hand because some Nigerians are lily livered. People should learn how to stand their ground for as long as possible. If it's means fighting, stay there and fight.

It's also one of the reasons one should be wary of mainland Lagos. Touts rule Mushin, Yaba, Oshodi and many other busy parts of the mainland. No government or police presence in most of these areas, anarchy and lawlessness is the order of the day.

Beginners experience!
I could recall blowing empty for almost a week from Maryland to Dolphin estate, ikoyi just to get my first trip because i was so scared of driving on the mainland.
Each time i get to Ikoyi, within 5 minutes of arrival, Victoria island ,Lekki or Ajah trip usually come through and I was content with it but it was a foolish decision until i read most of the content here.

If its possible to join the morning train, take people going to Ikeja/Maryland around 5-5.30am ,drop them off and go to Opebi /Allen/Isaac Jones /Ikeja GRA, set destination trip to the island and if you're lucky to be around Maryland around 6am ,drive into Sunmola, or Mudi Lane at Anthony and set your early morning destination trip to the island.

Please be very vigilant when next you park your vehicle beside Maryland Mall. I'll advise you to drive into one of the streets (Sunmola ,Ajayi, Igbile, Abisoye, Ajose or Abi) and find a safe place to park.

Those cab operators usually feed council people to come and harass Uber/taxify drivers.

Yesterday was really something else for me. I took a rider from Ogba to Lekki phase 1, when I dropped her and checked the time it was 5:30pm. So I set my destination to Magodo as I stay around that axis. I didn't get any request until I got to Falomo bridge. The PU was just 7 mins away, the rider was in V.I. I picked her up and started the trip. She was heading to Maryland, I was looking for the fastest way to get to her destination using Google maps as I wasn't too familiar with that area but this map bleeped me up. I just drove round and round only to end up at ring road where there was a horrible traffic. The rider started complaining that I was just trying to cheat her then I tried explaining to her that it was just a mistake but she wasn't taking it. Next thing I knew this lady started crying o, saying everyone has just been cheating her that day. She started calling all of her friends, crying and telling them about her uber driving was trying to cheat her. We were stuck in traffic, next thing I know, this lady opened the door and said she was going to walk. I said walk ke? We're on a bridge ma, you're not supposed to even open the door here. She said she wants to jump inside the water and end her suffering. I was so shocked, I started begging this lady not to jump and that she should come inside, she didn't agree. I had to end the trip there and told her that I'll take her to her destination for free, that she should just come inside, then she did. She kept crying and crying for almost 2 hours until we got to Maryland. I was so exhausted that I don't think I'll work for a few days.

Omg,
People can be so weird sha.

Was she just acting/faking it or you saw seriousness in her action?

Bros, you ain't cabu cabu that moves around waiting for passenger to flag them down.

Stop moving around and be looking for request, its not done that way on uber/bolt.

Just wait in a safe area and request will surely come to you, don't be carried away when you wait for too long (an hr or maybe more), still wait there and definitely a request will take you out of there.


And also, try identify movement time in your area, i believe residents are within your neighbourhood, make sure you don't just drive out without request, put on your app anytime you want to work in the morning and make sure it is request that will take you out of your house to anywhere and if you observe where the request take you to is industrial area, then look around for the close residential area and position there for the next trip....

Patience is key in this work o....u might think you having a bad day and then boom long trip back to back might just come your way....as at 1pm on Monday....my gross was just 2100... By 7pm... Gross was 14500.....

That your area get trips well....Key Areas

1. Progress college
2. Jonathan coker environ
3. Abattoir environment.....so many B grade estate surround there
4. Charity bus stop environ .

When setting destination.....if you desire lekki, Ajah, Vi, Lagos Island or maybe Surulere... Just set Eti-Osa as your destination..

Above all pray, believe and embrace patience....If you have to burn your fuel....ensure its strategic.....Driving around for request is a big NO NO .

Very soon na you go off phone say u no do...

The 'some' are not really a coward, the unfortunate, weak system put in place to protect the right of every citizen is the problem. The weak system makes most Nigerians to lack courage in doing the right thing. So some are trying to be safe. But I know the system will surely put everybody to the wall one day.

Just chill, their are lots of request at ogba, if you can stay on Yaya abatan road close to ogba, you will definitely get, it's just a matter of time.

Of lately, in the last couple of days trips have been scarce. I'm currently at magodo, it's been an hour now since I got here, no request. I have done only 1 trip since morning (ogba to magodo)

Where is everyone going? What do Lagosians use uber for most?

Total trips by venue type
Shopping 28%
Hotel 26.1%
Party venue 22.8%
Business District 5.5%

Though you could argue that all these are numbers, but if you'll agree, numbers don't lie. So if you find yourself in an area position close to the aforementioned spots. People who've gone out will definitely come back home.

However, lockdown has affected this business a lot.

I will gladly end the trip and have them remove their nonsense from my car. These tiny little girls have no self respect to begin with. I don't talk to them o, I just ask them the quickest way to their destination so as to avoid the argument that I took a longer route to defraud them. When they've started fvuking our fathers mate, why will they not look down on themselves
