So i picked up this female rider from her office in V I this evening. She was lekki bound. We were chatting as we drove. Along ozumba road, she asked me to drive into Grandsquare supermarket. She needed to get some stuff.

She came back several minutes later apologizing for taking my time. She blamed it on the cashier. She bought "cabbage", but cashier kept saying She can't find cabbage on the system...

It was later found out that cashier had been typing "Gabbage" all along.

stay tuned.

This diary has a twin on the diary section where i post, but i think this space here will project the diary to a wider audience.

Runs girls are heartlessly heartless...

Only a heartless girl who knows the kind of business she is into, that will still keep a boyfriend.

I dont get their logic, at all.

So you see a fine girl and approach her. she doesnt look runs girlish. You toast her and she agrees. You go out on dates and snap instagram photos. She allows you fall in love with her. But she knows the truth about herself.... how do these girls do it? how do they willingly enter a relationship with someone they will always lie to, and deceive? Wht cant they just face one side?

That was how i was taking girls to parkview estate from ikeja one evening... From their discussions, they were going to go and service a client who wanted a 3sum.... Now, one of them begged me to lower the music volume, so i kukuma off am for her. Next thing, she calls her boyfriend:

Baby...(yawns) i am soooo tired. you know i have been with wendy since morning and we have been having some drinks (yawns). i think i am a little tipsy and i cant go home tonight.

in my mind i was like, wtf!!! i held the steering wheel tighter mehn. trust girls at your own peril.

she continues.... and you know i told you their light isnt stable so i will switch off my phone now so i will have battery to call you tomorrow morning (yawns) i love you baby... hope you had something to eat...






why why why why why?!

Hi Romeo3,how can I go abt driving for Uber without having a car of my own and besides how does Uber generate their own income?

Papi501:
Hi Romeo3. I just started driving on Uber again after a long while. I have done over a week now and it's not making sense yet. Please, what tips can you give me to help out. Need to make this money back. Not the 300 & 400 naira I am getting. Did 9 trips today and I didn't even make up to 6k. They were mostly short trips. I even had a trip of N260 worth. imagine!

Let me start by saying I am a fan of your diary. I Crack up every time I read a new entry. I'm glad you opened it up for interaction.
I however like to bring this issue of 'change' up. I see you constantly try to mock your riders for requesting for their change. I mean you are in the business where money is exchanged with your customers daily, you should know certain customers will always demand for their change no matter how little it is. I might be taking this issue personal because I have experienced it quite a number of times with taxify/Uber drivers.
They try to guilt trip you into leaving your change with them. Most of the time I usually let it slide, but when I come across certain drivers who sound condescending when it comes to this issue, I gladly give them a piece of my mind.
Yes, broke a $$$ give me my 100 naira change

Thanks Romeo for opening an interactive diary

Just want some tips to avoid major faux pas riding uber Lagos

From different uber threads- can you decline a ride just because it's not cash? My uber is linked to paypal/debit card. Thought this would be the most ideal method as there's less stress for the drivers faffing around looking for change

Do drivers get pick up and destination details when they accept a ride? I notice a lot of drivers saying they call to confirm destinations. Then cancel if they dont want to go that route. perhaps taxify?

What does a riders rating do to you as the boss, i notice you rate almost all your riders. Do you check a riders rating before accepting a ride?
