chucsmoore: If you continue cancelling 4 trips in a day, you might wake up one morning to see your rating fall Yakata. Mind you there is a threshold of 22% on all cancellations, if u pass this limit automatically you will be blocked. All cancellations affects rating whether you want to go with rider or not. You just have to keep it minimal. Accepting Trips request without seeing destination @ times boost rating. These kind of trips are likely to be taking you to bad places, drivers reject them alot. Embarking on such trips can increase your rating. I took out time to study how the system works. Damn the rating bro!  I don’t go to all these bad places and I cancel nothing less than 5 trips daily. Been on 4.97 for about two weeks until yesterday when it dropped to 4.95. Since the closure of 3MB, I have not gone past Osborne and Apongbon, fear they catch me. I fit loose my sanity with the reports of traffic I’ve been seeing

Mjosh1000: Now taxify (bolt) is going crazy. We are complaining about low fare they want to make it lower They started this nonsense in South Africa and drivers there gave them till today 27th to remove the feature or they will shutdown their operation. These guys at bolt don’t care about drivers at all. Meanwhile, in the screenshot below there is a new add on to the App, you deduce from the distance shown whether it’s a long or short trip.

toomush: Most mechanic won't even know they ones that they have worked on, I have relatives that sell spare parts, I wanted to buy tokunbo front shock, they told me is for me to buy new one than tokunbo (because many of the tokunbos being sold are bad ones that were worked on) that the only time I should I accept a tokunbo shock is if I'm there when their were losing it or bringing it out from the container. You are right sha. I don’t buy toks shocks, Na black market. |

toomush: How can one be sure that he's buying a direct tokunbo spare part Tbh, I don’t know. Get yourself a trusted mechanic and you should be fine. What I did was made friend with one guy (mechanic) in Oyingbo. Anytime I need a part, he’s the one that takes me to the place where I’ll get the best. |

chinyce: This is exactly how the operate. I'm certain it was same people that accustated me and my Riders. Same method, same pattern. Except I loss on both side seriously.
I was at circle mall ShopRite Jakande when a request came in. It was alady on corper uniform and her guy friend. Two respectable looking lovebirds. I drove across the spacious packing lot to their position. They were followed by an attendant of one of the restaurant where they just came out. As they entered the guy whispered to me to lend them N3k so they could settle the attendant. I had no problems to assist them, they look very responsible.
Anyways, the trip startd destination was Novare ShopRite sangotedo. Which sounds corky, from ShopRite to ShopRite, but none of my business. The two sat behind jisting away with no worries. They were secondary school mates getting together after a very long time. The guy stays up north while the lady was serving her father land in Lagos.
We stopped at VGC traffic light just before the light turned green, a man appeared from nowhere and stood in front of my car signalling us to stop. They guided me to pack at the side of the road and they were knocking on the windows for us to open. I looked at my Riders the girl was scared to hell, and guy was just normal, for me, I was confused, I thought they were robbers, but certainly not in the open because people have started gathering.
I rolled down my window, they were busy barking orders for us to open the doors, of which I told my Riders not to, I became confrontational. "Who are you" I barked back, "we are men of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC, Have you heard of the EFCC before?" "Eh" was all I could utter. "Good, is not you we after, driver. We are after your passenger, please step out of the vehicle and go and enter that car"
The ordered the young guy into another car and one of them joined us in the front seat, he ask me to drive and follow their own corolla. We drove towards Abraham Adesanya round about, turned and started heading back to Ajah. That was when I said no I can't continue with the journey, they rider should settle me and let me find my way. The guy with us called his colleagues and after the talked, the man asked me not to end the trip that the rider will surely pay me, that we are going to EFCC office at Ikoyi. That the guy has refused to cooperate so they're taking him in. I and the corper girl asked him what has the guy done wrong, the man said the guy is a member of a bigger syndicate of yahoo boys and they have complete info on him and a number of his contacts. He's not the only one, they're taking them one by one, he continued to say.
He began to ask the corper girl how she knew him. The girl claimed he was a secondary school mate, they just got together after about 9 years, so she can't really vouch for his activity. The man adviced her keep far away from him. And she was like why, why must she keep away, he is her friend etc me, I just kept driving. We passed VI, climbed the bridge connecting Ikoyi, got to Gerard road made U-turn, got to falomo under bridge round about turned right towards Awolowo rd, then the guy asked me to pack at the first bus stop. The guy was busy on call with his colleagues, after a while they came and took the corper girl leaving me and the EFCC guy in the front seat. We waited for another 10mins, they brought the yahoo guy back to join us in the car. The EFCC guy Infront asked me to drive forward, when we got to the first Traffic light on Awolowo rd he asked me to make a U-turn. We drove towards the falomo under bridge then parked at a busstop a distance to the famolo under bridge. We waited there for good 1 hour, no one spoke. The yahoo guy was at the back , looking behind me at him, he was like he was almost crying.
Then a call came in the EFCC guy asked me to drive forward towards the falomo under bridge round about, we stopped and waited Infront of the filling station by the right, police men on uniform will appear to arrest us for wrong packing because we were actually causing holdup at the back, the effcc guy will wave them away and ask me to park right there and ignore the horns and abuses from other drivers.
After a long wait they came back with the corper girl, as the girl got in, the guy in the front came down and they asked us to go. I drove us back towards Lekki to a new destination Osapa London estate. The corper girl was frightened and the yahoo guy was furious, calling and alerting his crew. Me I was like my money. While he was on call I overheard his crew member telling him that it was the Uber driver that set you up. Once he ended his call, na so this yahoo guy face me. That he had to settle those guys N200,000 cash, that they used the corper girl to go and withdraw the money which explains the waiting period at the busstop.
This yahoo guy insist that I mustn't drop them at his home. So they alighted along the street. I end trip N5100 +N3000=N8100, yahoo guy said he has no money. Those magu boys took it all and he began to promise that he will surely pay me. He asked that I promise not to harass his corper girlfriend since she was the one that requested me. I and the guy we still chat and talk, but about other things, he said he never hammer.
I simply told him to change his lifestyle. I wonder if he was hushpuppi crew.  What an experience! God knows I’d be so frustrated waiting endlessly for them. This their mode of operation is wrong though. |

Orisirisi! I would not open my doors if it were to be night. And I believe my rider will not be silly enough to open the doors, I go even tell am before he try am. I will roll down my glass to a level where we can both hear ourselves, will tell them to drive to the nearest police station, I will drive behind them. |

Babadee1900: Back to this...
I picked my rider from Doculand Awolowo road, cool working class guy. He asked politely that I drive a bit fast as he’s running late for an appointment somewhere around Ologolo.
I got to work and was moving swiftly in between cars, got to freedom way when I sighted a black corolla with tinted windows driving to march my pace, I thought he wanted to play and I was more than ready, he flashed his lights at me twice but I ignored him.
When we got to Jakande traffic light, he pulled up beside me, a police officer in full gears stepped out from the car and two other guys in mufti. I didn’t pay much attention to them until one of the guys in mufti stood in front my car brandishing handcuffs , I looked back at my rider he wasn’t using face mask, different thoughts began to run through my mind. The one with the cuffs came to my side and displayed his ID for me to see.
I was still trying to process everything when I noticed that my rider has already opened the door for one of them to come in. The one at my side later joined his colleague at the back seat leaving my rider in the middle. They ordered me to drive and follow the corolla.
They introduced their self and began to question the guy. Collected his phone....... He gave them the password to his phone, the one with it was searching through the phone while the second was asking questions. Rider is clean and well spoken, told them what he does and every necessary details about himself. He was with his laptop, he offered to turn it on for them if they are not satisfied with what he’s told them so far or seen on his phone. When they saw that it was a bad market, nothing to use against him, they changed it to why didnt we stop when they flashed me and trying to run away from them, he told them he was rushing for a meeting, that we’ve been driving fast from Ikoyi. One of them turned to me and said ‘why did you not stop for us’? I replied him saying: I’m just doing my job. He didn’t say anything. They requested to search the car, and the guy, they did their thing and when they didn’t see anything incriminating. They said we’d let you go because of your cooperation. ...……................... This experience almost gave me a heart attack, my heart was beating really fast when one of them stood in front of my car with handcuffs. Different thoughts ran through my mind, like what have I done wrong , I didn’t commit any traffic offense or is it now a crime to drive fast ? Immediately I completed the trip, I went offline and proceeded to the nearest bar to drink chilled Guinness to calm my heart  These people no go kill me. .......................... |

Harddiskng: Iphone 6s plus 16gb Price: 50k Location: Lekki
Disclosure: It is my old iphone. It was bought brand new. -Home button is not working. -Cameras are working. But on very few occasions the focus of the back camera fluctuates (flex issue). -There is a crack that didn’t affect the display at the bottom left of the screen. With screen-guard and pouch you won’t even know its there.
Note: both home button & camera can be changed for less than 10k though the phone is working perfectly well even with stated issues. I can provide you with the contact number of a good iphone repairer in Computer village, if you want.
