pope191:
You and driving in odd time

I do early morning surge and late night surge
Once it’s 12 noon and the sun is out with small traffic, I don run go house till evening to night.
It gives me peace of mind and less stress.
Sun + traffic reduces life span

pope191:
Please temper Justina wit Messi, in this city one can't really tell where d morning weed will hit. It's still our 01 and only Feli Feli in this e hailing city.

Jews priest Good job, you should be a peace marker on this thread.

frubben:
Anybody don start hustle today, how road b now make today bonus no waste

Road free like locked down, but people don dey come out small small...
police doing stop and search and in strategic locations.
Riders dey fear to come out.
The girl I took to intl airport said her flight is evening but she doesn’t want to take chances and no family member can see her off cos of fear.

Slickleo:
Go and ask pedpa members dat where requesting false trips and also report d driver for offline during the strike those drivers where blocked so best is just simply cancel in time

People wicked...
They actually blocked drivers that didn’t join the strike, so all the fake request I was doing na child’s play?
Next time they will join strike in peace and keep their account.

This has happened to me before, dropped a rider at idado estate set destination trip for abule egba, request came in Omole estate 1.5 surge, she was shocked when she called and I told her I was at her gate. I had to wait over 10 mins cos I had the company of another pilot who was telling me his story of how a woman blessed him with 50k for a trip.

My God which soap I go take baff to get dis kind rider.
Picked one celebrity and PA on Thursday (5min drive) only to end trip 1k and PA drop 1k cash d celeb asked how much? I quickly said 1k , looking back and was about to give me 1k too, I just comot face and hand.

But wait, People no gree comot today or they are still watching ?

donfortune48:
I try to come out early this days. (6:30 - 7:30am)

Once it's 3pm, I can only take trips to surulere or Yaba and go home.

If I no see reach 4pm (only when I'm on the mainland) I'm blowing home empty.

I was at MM int'l 3pm today. Map was showing me 45mins to go from int'l Airport to local Airport.
32mins from int'l Airport to Ajao estate, I just enter express, blow down to Cele and connect home.

.

Another lazy driver spotted, how will you now net 100k in a week?
The traffic is something else.
I’m heading home to continue by 10pm and then close for the week, till Monday.
don’t want to hear any story of police or protesters requesting ride tomorrow

Pearl1910:
Omo, how tomorrow go be o...protest again...it's just dawning on me that June 12 is tomorrow.

No protest .
Army , police go full road from this night.

Pearl1910:
Request only when u r ready, it's as simple as that, cos u never know, I might just be outside ur plaza. U keep me waiting, and u r stalling my income. That's not fair. Ontop N500 trip.

I don’t get mad for keeping me waiting for 10mins but, (na Nigeria we dey ) the part that drives me crazy is when they finally get inside the car and say Oga drive fast I’m in a hurry.
Dt thing dey scatter my brain

SokizzRaven:
I did o, one of the most satisfying cancels I’ve ever had

The closest i ve done was to drive off slowly while rider was busy carrying bill electric board.

I got to pick and rider tap booth, so I opened from inside d car and was waiting next thing I heard someone saying e no go enter booth now. My eyes and brain just woke up to see what it is. Fortunately d second guy help to close the booth while they went to bring the bill board. immediately I saw the size I didn’t bother to say anything, I was just driving away gently shaking my head no no.
D guy open mouth dey look me

No be me, make newbies go ahead

deedee44:
From the way you narrated the story,
1. She was also delayed, probably network ish as she was trying to pay or something
2. She apologized

My opinion.. You should have picked her, it's those ones that always feel like it's their right to keep you waiting that deserve this kind of treatment.

Peace

And some will tip you for waiting.
As I dey here inside rain.
I’m waiting for a girl on 1.7 surge , it’s 15minutes paid waiting already.
I just assume if there is no request I will be waiting too.
But now I’m waiting make rain stop and also for rider cos I don’t want to go to an unknown road inside this rain or traffic.
So instead of going offline I will wait and be forming u kept me waiting.

SokizzRaven:
It’s raining and there is no surge in Lekki phase 1 , I’d rather stay put than drive through those Lekki lagoons for stipends.
Meanwhile make I drop this gist here

Yesterday I started the hustle (I started very late though) with a resolution that no matter how tempting an order to mainland is I wouldn’t take it, in the process and amidst other blacklisted destinations my cancellation rate shoot up to 65%. Then I said to myself I have to stop canceling orders now

Few minutes later a request came in, not far from where I parked. Destination Lekki phase1, pick up Cmart admiralty way.

Just before heading to pick up, I called rider I’m outside already (don’t want her delaying me for long for a ride of #500) she said she’ll join me in a minute. Drove down to pick up, still no sign of rider. 5 minutes later I called again,
Rider: I’m checking out now I’ll be with you shortly (I was already fuming but I been no wan spoil my gentleman, so I kept it cool)

10 minutes later I called again
Rider: I don’t know why this guy is this slow, but I’m next on the queue, will be out soon
5 minutes later still no sign of rider

A thought of zooming off in anger crossed my mind, but then I thought would she really understand the gravity of what she did if I zoomed off? So I made sure my doors was on lock and waited till this daughter of eve came out

Some minutes later, Saw her through my rare mirror checking out my plate for confirmation, then she proceeded to open the back door but oops! It’s locked
Came a little forward to the passenger side window to knock, I looked at her with a smiling face and wind down a bit. These were my exact words to her
‘’Oh! You’re finally out (she said sorry bla bla bla....please your door is locked) you see that wait wey you been no wan wait, you go wait am. You wasted my time but it’s fine (she said but I’ve apologized now) It will just be nice to give you a doze of your own medicine’’
Put my gear in reverse and screed off ( saw her standing with her shopping bags, looking at the car in awe through my side mirror)

Hey felicity001 spirit don dey enter people for here.
But who later canceled you or her?

seyicodes:
Please what can I do.. I started with 5 star ratings. In just 2;days my rating just dropped to 4.00 wetin I do na.

I have always been respectful to all riders. In fact I dey come down open door for most of them , with all these my rating still drop gbam.

Wonders shall never end, you mean am or U dey whyne us? So u will come down and open door on 500trip or na dem employ you ?

Check your car interior and exterior, is it clean? Your sound system, your AC , do you drive fast or extremely slow? Do u have car freshener , do u dress well and smell nice too.
I know you will be a gentleman and very sweet temper.
What model of car do u drive ?
Even me wey lick riders ass na only to come down help put bag in booth, as ratings keep dropping na so I go open booth put ur bag urself.

See new levels .
Bolt no wan gree at all at all
I gave a girl 1* star and I got this immediately.

Pearl1910:
Learning fast...I like this guy.
Na ur type go play and discourage other students but u hiddenly jack for night, when ur friends dey sleep.
U will argue and downplay advice, meanwhile u r adhering to them secretly.

I’m learning from you and your mentees, maybe one day i will net 100k in a week and see at least 90k in my account. So I’m working day and night round the clock, I want to leave d league of lazy drivers yet my dashboard and my account keep playing hide and seek

geezyk:
Be like pepda no wan relent, dem sha wan form union by force and we all know how unions end up behaving in naija. Dem don partner to launch indigenous app too

https://www.nairaland.com/6595557/lagos-cab-drivers-set-ditch

No mind them, even Uber is queuing behind bolt as it is in terms of more riders, bonus and the commission they charge. Uber still on 25%

The height of it for me is the destination that shows. I don’t call rider to ask where are you going again.

Pedpa and indigenous app will be crawling behind inDriver

pope191:
11.11 pm u r still driving? U and pearls sometimes I wonder if u guys r drivers? but now I know better, nah real follow who know road for this life.

Back to the matter... follow the matter up, once they let them go, u will still b d one to take them home and u know what that means.

Na night sweet pass , constantly on 1.7 to 1.9 surge with riders begging and saying thank you.
I no get strength for hold up, touts,Lastma and hot sun.
As I was about to open my gate yesterday request came in going to ikoyi 11:54 pm with the guy begging to tip me. I told him Oga na mistake say my app dey on it’s almost 12 and there is curfew guy begin beg I just off phone.

Riders are humble and fast to come out or stay outside waiting for you in the night.

Pearl1910:
This offline of a thing ehhh...my offlines are mostly with elderly men and women who don't have the app or want to stress their children to book. Or people going out of town or extreme ends of Lagos that drivers don't like going... Within town offline get as e dey b with young people, why not request? is what I always ask them.
A man, guy, young guy, or boy must never seat behind me at night especially if he is d only one on the trip. Beyond hiding things in the car, it is suspicious.

That is where the guy messed up, if he was in front with me police wouldn’t have stopped us.
Had already put on my inner light and passed before they spotted him at the back and screamed park park, if the guy had said don’t stop I will just move on. Guy man go seat for back dey form fine boy.
I don wise up now I will be on d look out during and after any trip.

davit:
Wetin your rider do?

That he doesn’t have a SIM card in his phone
I tried dragging but they told me to shut up dt, I be Uber driver I should face my job and let them do their job. Before 2secs dem don put d guy inside car. They searched all my car to the extent that they saw two drugs one viagony or something and another one like blue / piriton.
Police shout : See Uber driver see where ur passenger dey hide drugs. I weak cos I never imagined drugs could be there with all dis vacuum cleaning.

At some point I was getting scared let them not go and see drugs forgotten by riders.
So I will be driving and monitoring riders for keeping drugs. God oohhh

emmancecute:
tell police sey you be uber say the guy never pay you. Them go allow am pay you.

I try that d guy wan do transfer with him phone but dem no gree release him phone.
I used that opportunity to go meet d guy inside car where they locked him and handcuffed him with another busty yellow lady.
I asked him to give me a number of someone I can call but d guy no smart at all, he said all numbers are in d phone with them na so police come pursue me to leave the car.
I pity dt guy

Police don arrest my rider handcuff am
Abeg wetin I go do to trip.
Veterans wey still dey awake.

Pearl1910:
Yes, number 1 and number 3 points are correct...Bolt App is more stable now than before, all those short-paying and miscalculations have stopped...
ALso they aren't doing upfront pricing again, so u get what happens in reality, not estimates and theory.

The bolded is not true, surge is applied from where d trip emanated from and continues throughout the life of that trip until u end it, irrespective of where u go or how many times u update it.
Would u say if there was no surge when trip started and trip is updated where there is surge, surge will now apply to d rest of the trip? That's not correct!!!

Elder I hail o
I agree with you on this 100%
I wanted to say it but dt Dru23 will soon say I spend all my time on nairaland.

Felicity001:
I felt for this rider I swear...

From Oando Marina to Tejuosho, yaba where he spent about 30min
Stopped again alonge ojuelegba rd to buy a face cap, spent abt 15min
From there we move, stoped again at Admiralty way(office) spent like 10min, came out and enter chicken republic to buy food.
Then we moved, to Ajungi... Come and c traffic... Tried following that back road that comes out at back of Agunji but road was totally right of due to downpour, we had to made a turn because two coro don sink already...
Link express and arrived at drop off point.

End trip: boom!

Guy man humble.
It is my fault that surge was 1.9?

olamilarks:
Na man you be o! If na me run this trip, I'm so taking ₦18k to ₦20k regardless of app pricing! The 12k is very small in my opinion, bolt no try even with the surge

Na sakamanje u go use Or increase the surge ?
Money is 12k u still saying it’s too small

You and Feli shock me dis morning.

You will get it back by sunday.

To dey do major car fixing in dis hustle dey pepper body.

olimilove:
Good morning,

My passport expired in March and I also got married in April.

Please, should I apply for just change of data due to marital status or Passport Renewal?

Or am I to do both?

You will have to go to Abuja to do change of name and that means you are doing a new passport. They only do that in Abuja

tunlapapa:
There was a day I took a disabled, at first, I was angry for the delay but the anger disappeared when I saw him.

He was carried by two men from his church into the vehicle and left alone for the trip.
On getting to the destination, I had no choice than to come down and carry him on his wheelchair. I pitied him as he could not even move himself.

One has to be grateful when one is abled.

Most of the time we take it for granted and over work the body.
Heard there was shoot out at costain/Iponri and robbery on eko bridge today.
Only God has been helping us in this hustle

Felicity001:
Continue you hear so? No call me for help like you called the other time lastma held you at Oworoshoki if you go carry person wey motor jam ooh.

Felicity001:
