FamilyRe: Promiscuous Dad by Barbiturate(m): 2:17pm On Oct 31, 2021
It depends on your rapport with your dad. If he's not strict on you, he pets you and he talks to you freely and jokingly and you do same. You can have a heart to heart discussion with him about it. Tell him to stop(difficult) or minimise it and he should pls respect you and not do it in your presence. If not, just ignore and live your life. Make sure you don't do the same mistake as your mom.

*Variety is the spice of life cheesy
If I sabi chase and get wella like your dad, wouldn't mind having them in quantum smiley
Even when some women were asked what they will do if they were men...... majority said shinọ

NB: It's your mom that's in the best position to talk to him!

I don't need to be tutored by any tout on how to be uncouth.

I started this way back before 99% of you. I was there when this thread started. I am one of those that started uber/taxify in Lagos. I did uber when I lost my first job. I am far older than 99% of people here. I graduated 2006. Served 2007/08. Got my first big job 2009. Did uber in 2014.

I ignore nonsense post, but I chose to correct you.

Let's be guided pls

My last rider(lady) yesterday, refused to pay me after getting to her destination, using Google map. She said it's not her destination. I told her she must have put the wrong destination because I followed the map. She said I should end the trip and she will get down, carry her load, and not pay me a dime. I didn't argue with her. Told her "No problem"!
Reported to bolt. They said they will refund me in 5 days if she doesn't pay and that they've blocked her.

My crazy experience today….

Got a request around tejuosho yaba to ebutte metta.

This woman entered “oga good evening” I replied madam good evening…

Me: am starting your trip
Rider: you can go on.
Rider: take ojuelegba….. by the way, are you a born again?
Me: no and I don’t do any religion.
Rider; please turn the music off…. (I know already say wahala don Dey like this)
Rider: you see there’s hell fire and in the book of blabla bla…. You have to accept Jesus as your ……

This woman kept talking…. I’m too tired to listening to anything even I was happy when she initially told me to off the radio…

After the long preaching one driver wanted to enter my lane madam shouted oga no give am space oh shocked I thought she’ll stop naso she continue oh…

I just kukuma shut her with “MADAM YOU SEE THIS SACRIFICE, MY FATHER SENT ME TO DO IT TODAY AGAINST TOMORROW…. MY FATHER IS OLUAWO OF EGBA LAND”

Rider: shocked lipsrsealed
Me: so please ma I’ll appreciate if you can preach to the next Uber driver .
Rider: ok sir please end my trip by costain bus stop…

I was very glad she dropped and slam my door also dropped rhapsody.

I don’t know why some Nigerians can’t respect people who doesn’t believe in whatever they believed in… we need love and we need to be preaching and practicing love not hell fire that you’ll later be maltreating your housemaid….

Below is the sacrifice have had earlier (I snapped this along bajulaiye/fola agoro road inward Abule ijesha…

That was my savior today
I saw that sacrifice on Tuesday morning at that round about along folagoro/abule ijesha road. Passed Akoka road.

Here we go again.. Camry v4 meaning 4cyclinder from 2007 to 2010 are factory defects bad piston had a recall. This is factory defect and Toyota knew about it and they try to sweep it under the rug.

That been said, Toyota told their customers to take the cars to the dealership for testing for oil shorten. Those that were knew to have issues Toyota fix them free of charge etc.

Some owners were using heavier oil to fix the issue.. But don't quote me on this , I recall that Toyota advice to use heavier oil .. But it does not fix the piston issue. It was more like putting a bandaid above the wound...


I sell cars myself . A friend once sold me a Toyota Camry 07 . He sold for me at about $1500 , this was when naira about 380 to the dollar . I bought the car thinking I got a deal. When it was time to put the car for sale. I notice that oil almost dried up , oil level was very low . my mechanic said something like this Camry are know to short oil . I than did my research and find out that it short oil.. It now dawn on me why my friend sold the car to me. He was in haste to sell the car fast fast. I was very highly upset , lesson learn.....

A good friend of mine does uber in the states. He bought a 2010 camry for uber. He was complaining about the car and how keeps taking it to the mechanic and list of other problem. And he stated that he has to keep checking oil level for daily anointing. He said keeps extra gallon of oil for top ups. He said the car is good on fuel , but oil shorten is too much and tedious to be checking all the time.........He said it is factory defect........

When I do talk , I talk from experience . I will never buy those Camry v4 07 to 10. But the v6 is a goal , I love the v6 .......The are fast and strong and good on fuel ......


Ps .. I also notice that v4 rav4 short oil. I was told to stay away from them . I bought a v6 for a client back than. When I couldn't find a v4. I dodge the bullet lol again I talk from experience and research....
You're right bro. I use a Toyota Camry 08 (muscle). The engine oil shortens so often. Even the fuel sef dey short. Corolla uses like 4k to 4500 for a day hustle. I use 5 to 6k a day. I complained to my mechanic about the engine oil shortening. He said it's the dryness of the brake oil, Abi Na gear oil! Changed it and it's still the same. Checked it this morning and it's short again. I already called him and he said I should bring it tomorrow. I don taya! Should have bought a Corolla instead. Camry 08 to 10 no good for this hustle at all

Nobody cares if you carry the whole Lagos in your trunk. Being nice is for you and you alone, the blessings is also for you and you alone.

About this, don’t blame them for blaming it on the app. Tbh, it has never happened to me on Uber, but that Bolt ride to Ikeja, I put the exact address where I was and it picked something else. I never knew that could happen. When I saw it, I tried to change pickup but I no couldn’t. I had to call the driver and explain.

I don't take comment serious. The more reason I add funny emoji, but I have taken urs serious because there's simply no need/use for ur comment.
