Most of the female riders can’t pay their fare. It’s d guy that always come to make payment. Yet they run there mouth. U see a jobless girl insulting an Uber driver. I don’t blame them olosho girls. I blame d guys that pays as much as 20k to a total random stranger u just had intimacy. With and u gave her 20k next minute she goes to another hotel to meet another random man. Why will u pay as much as that. If ur guy beg u money now u go cry and tell him how u are in serious debt. Some girls in lekki get up to 50k for intimacy. Men are indeed big fool.

That first line is very correct: rudeness cuts across gender, education and status.
As an ex-uber driver, that's the first thing I noticed.

In most big cities, the perverted one's try to make double gains especially with their female clients. Ask those who work weekends, they know better

Their female clients paying them?

Some of the Uber drivers are too nice and it makes me uncomfortable.
All I want is a ride, not someone to have a conversation with.
And when you keeping calling me Sir unnecessarily, I feel you are about to take advantage.
You must be an igbo man.

Funny but an interesting piece.

It's strange how some peeps assume that you have nothing better to do just because one is an Uber Driver (or a personal Driver).

Bro the truth is that if you had something better to do then Uber you would have been doing that instead of driving. From Ex Taxify/Uber driver.

Uber, Taxify and the metro buses and Uber boats and cyclist, should be what should be allowed in Nigeria now, apart from people's personal vehicles, I think all this keke and okada should just be scrapped and all those things used as metals to help strengthen the iron bridges we av, the government should get metro buses that this okada and keke people should be using, d person that brought the idea of keke just took us backwards in national development!

You don't know anything. Obasanjo brought keke under the national poverty alleviation programme(NAPEP) . It was formerly called "keke napep". and it did help so many people and families. From the importers, to the assemblers, to the rental agents, to the drivers, riders, part sellers, mechanics etc. Obviously you don't know what it means to create jobs and to meet a country in shanties as obasanjo met it. If you say, its usefulness has elapsed you may be right, but to say the person who brought it took us backwards? You definitely don't know what you are saying.

The keke napep has overstayed its welcome, I think if obj had used the money he used to buy the those things to get modern metro buses and build underground tube railway speed trains and get more buses and taxi's it would have been so much better but know trying to take this keke and okada out is going to look as though u re pushing them into hunger, it has to be a slow gradual process of phasing those noisy metals that cause accidents, noise pollution and air pollution and get modern metro buses like the BRT or Marcapolo

Do u know one thing with people like u, trying to improve d country is wat u want but the things that re needed for ur city to look like d London u wish 4 is wat u don't want! U can't eat ur cake and have it, I suggested the metro buses to be used, all the keke and okada people would be forced to operate on the metro buses, marcopolo buses, BRT lanes, Underground tube railway system, double deckers! All would be registered on a Union, d Union would oversee the welfare of all its members! Is just like telling all d keke and Okada to drop their vehicles to the government, then d govt would incorporate them into the union, simple they don't lose anything and d job u re saying they would lose, would be further strengthened as government's jobs arent that unstable!

Gentleman development occurs in stages. It does not occur overnight. Remember that Nigerians are certificate getters and not invention oriented. Any development is good as far as I am concerned. So far so good I think Lagos is the most focused on development I am innovator and man it's not easy to create new things plus our country is soaked in the blood of corruption. Forward ever.

It's only secondary school kids that should be influenced by peer pressure. If you're an adult and your friends can still influence you then there is something seriously wrong with that person.

Ish, that's why it is called peer pressure. Anybody can be influenced. The old man singing Naira Marley's song the other day nko?

Peer pressure - influence from members of one's peer group. Age doesn't factor here.

You have a solid point. I guess I'm just speaking from my own perspective because I have never been easily influenced by peer.

My Uber story.
I asked this guy to pick my phone charger I forgot at a friend's place and bring it to me. This dude could not read GPS map! A trip of less than 10minutes estimated at between N400-N480 took him more than an hour. he kept driving in circles and missing the right turns, despite me been on the phone several times. He claimed he didn't know the area. When finally arrived fare was N1,700. I was generous enough to give him all the cash on me which was N1200 and he tried to argue with me that uber will also charge him.
My worst Uber experience.

I just started driving bolt, but I dey get issue with that map ooo...any scope you fit gimme to understand the map

Simply enter the destination on google map and use it as a guide. It (google map) is more efficient.
