Glithronix: Dey play. When I no be Superman wey dey save lives.  Pray make person no go pick person for hospital make something come happen. Last week, I saw one ride for my area going to a hospital and it was super juicy, I still increased the price and the rider accepted immediately. I quickly called the rider to be sure he was real - I was hearing someone groaning in pain underground and the rider was telling me to hurry up and start coming. Baba, I ended the call and cancelled the ride immediately. God won't judge me for that. Not that I have not picked or dropped riders at hospitals before, but I always called immediately to confirm who I wan pick. Can't even remember the last time I picked or dropped off at a hospital. Make we dey always careful in this hustle oh (hmmmm).
Much respect, baba. we need to talk about selfishness that exist in this job towards riders and drivers ..I took a trip from Ikeja gra to awoyaya late in the evening around 4pm , though I didn’t realize what I signed up for but if anything my last experience going through that Ajah the gridlock nearly questioned my mental state ..I took this trip hoping to make some money for the day and i haven’t driven to such area before but bolt made me so ..I met the rider at the pickup location and my mind was telling me cancel this trip ,it is too far and it’s already evening and you might get stuck in traffic and I will start lamenting which I did on our way cause we were half way to awoyaya along the costal road that was yet unpaved ,I drove through the rough road my vehicle was literally vibrating through the gravel lol and she was complaining if my vehicle doesn’t have shock absorber ..We’ve gone pass sangotedo, I asked the rider Omo this your location is far oo haven’t we reached yet ,I was met with a reply ,I’m unprofessional if knew the place was far or didn’t know about the location why did I accept the trip ,why didn’t I cancel the ride..she chose her selfishness over me and she is more concerned with me getting her home safe ,while I will need to figure how to get back to Ikeja cause I hate traffic and I don’t want to be stuck in one ..Well I was fortunate enough not to meet traffic on my way back and we settled 25k for the trip ..rode back home from awoyaya to Ikeja but mehn my body was vibrating and I felt the stress I just put myself through cause I was chasing gains in this business ..so sometimes choose your feelings over this riders cause at the end of the day it’s your story to tell and you will pay the consequences for not listening to your feelings when things go wrong .. |

Ourtruth247: Slaves can't manifest their thoughts
Everything I have explained doesn't matter if you are still a slave
What is a slave? A slave is a soul who believes other souls are superior and he has to worship and serve them to get what he wants
If you believe in the supremacy of a god, you are a slave because you have given your power away to that being
The first step towards spiritual enlightenment is to reject the supremacy of all gods. You have to reject Yahweh or Allah or Sango or Amadioha or whatever deity that claims to be your god
You are actually stronger than them because they are stuck in the 4th dimension, while you have the innate ability to transcend into higher dimensions
You are basically a guy with an AK47, but because you don't know you have an AK47, people with pistols manipulate you into needing their help in exchange for servitude what makes you think humans have so much ability and can be placed above other gods ,who have been here long before we were created into life forms .. |

Ourtruth247: You are not this physical body. You are a soul trapped in it
The demiurge and Alpha Draconians are one and the same. Annunaki is just a sumerian name for master geneticists who have modified the physical form of humans in the past through their understanding of the DNA
Various advanced beings have modified the human body in the past, either to experience life within it or as an experiment.
All of these beings are just souls like you and I, and they love playing god because they have more knowledge about this physical realm than you do
These beings can not create a soul, and hence didn't create you. All they can do is modify our physical bodies, but we are not our physical bodies
This physical realm is a virtual reality created by consciousnesses who wanted to experience life within the physical world. It was created a very long time ago, long before the demiurge even came here
Our physical realm is very old and various souls have modified it and experienced life and left. This present virtual reality is a messed up one because it's been corrupted and currently used as a prison to trap souls
The DNA is the programming language of lifeforms in the physical world and anyone with knowledge of it can modify it to "create" any type of lifeform they want.
Our physical bodies are a recent version of the human body. There have been other versions of the human body throughout the history of this physical world. Some were much bigger than we are, some had wings.
This current physical body is a result of a genetic engineering by the demiurge and I think it's one of the weakest versions ever as it was created to suppress our innate abilities as souls so they modified our dna and bodies through the sperm we deposited in a woman who then procreate the modified versions you assumed or what ? |

tobby98: I suffered from this too when I just started. Reduce your km to 2km. I think there's a setting on that. And don't always accept all rides, if you must cancel, ask the rider to cancel for you by asking them to get another ride. Or just tell them your car developed issues and they would gladly obliged with sympathy sef wish I got informed on time , my act just got suspended for 14 days ..well for now ,I’m sticking with Uber ,need to earn my pro gold status .. |

I don’t know why bolt keeps complaining about my driver score.. I’m not allowed to check on trips I accept and cancel at will cause I can’t drive to such destinations, said it is against their rules..They will advertise a trip so fast and expect you to accept a trip going to Ojo or ogun state and you can’t as a driver cancel the trip yourself..Mehn it not really cool and the only chance you get to see where you are going to properly is when you are well leveled up in the chain of driver score and ranks ..I’m still at bronze lol ,just did a weekend trip after fixing my abs sensor cost me up to 550k ,need to recover this funds asap .. |

tobby98: Contrary to what I expected that January was going to be very dry, I think it is not that bad, I did a lot of offline trips from people who I mostly carried during Xmas. So hopefully February is better. I already totally abandoned Indrive for now, their prices are ridiculous except for destination trips. Bolt is not any better but they are manageable, we driver's can create surge by not accepting ridiculous prices, it would naturally come up(price).

northbird: Are you on any of the WhatsApp groups. You could easily get a referral from those who had experienced such.. I'm sure it can be salvaged pending when you can get to buy a new one. There's another option to bypass it., this is a last resort , your mechanic will advise you better.
That's the reality, the app companies don't show you when they advertise huge earnings on social media. Huge maintenance fees for certain vehicle brands. Car repairs is on the high side.. it literally competes for your earnings if you are not careful. As a driver , going and driving to all destinations in Lagos is not advisable.
Mechanics and spare parts dealers won't share the same sentiments app companies use in crashing fares. no I’m not in any of the group .. pls care to share the link to one .. yeah I was told by one that I need to bypass it by connecting the oil pipes directly and removing the abs sensor .. still working on finding a fix for the abs or connect it directly ..if I have enough money I will replace the abs … |

My car just got a abs sensor issue problem , break lights keeps going and off and making it hard to break when a loud siren 🚨 sounds comes on and then it goes off ..checking the engine I saw that oil was leaking under the abs .I was told the price of a Camry 2008 hybrid Abs , mehn I’m quite out of enough funds to afford one now , so I’m asking if the abs can be repaired or part replaced for easier repairs than buying a new one or how do I fix this issue , cause I need to get back to work ..

lexylexy: First things first, are you owing Uber? Did you do any card trips or all were cash? Check your wallet balance to know your status. If it's in the negative, means you're owing them. yes wallet says -1,997.00 says it will be settled on the next trip .. |

Glithronix: @the bold of your last statement - this is exactly what I like to read from new drivers. You need the on-field experience, cos that's what will definitely build you up. Not the questions upon questions wey I dey see from aspiratants.  Though, the question stuff is necessary, but too much question is not what is required, as long as you sabi drive, you'll learn the hustle on field.
Now, to your payment issue - if you had already linked your bank account with your Uber profile, wait till tomorrow and work again, the app will bring the option for you to make their payment.
I just hope you already have linked your bank account with the app.
Lastly, what do you mean by "... you already received payment offline" in the first bold statement?
Much respect, boss. collected transfer through bank acts .. I haven’t linked my act , it was requesting for a swift code /Bic don’t know if that is needed for a local Nigeria act ..how do I go about it ? Thanks |

Family › Re: I Need Your Advice As Regards My Family . by capetownboyz(op): 1:44pm On Jan 28 |
Onegai: Capetownboyz
Welcome to Adulthood.
Life is tough. Marriage is hard. Parenting is difficult.
Hooray!
You have 2 roads in front of you.
One road: you keep focusing on all the problems with your spouse and how you felt you "settled" for her. Remember the 3 sentences I started with? Yeah, that will keep affecting you. Eventually you'll make some money and tell yourself "I deserve to be happy!". That's when, even if you didn't want it, your marriage or relationship will end. You'll become a single Dad, start dating "your choice" and find out that what you were looking for in Sokoto, was in your shokoto.
The end result is that it will be too late, but luckily for the rest of the world you'll hide your regrets very well.
I know someone who did the exact same thing you did, went down this road, "tolerated rubbish" for years. He's separated now, he went haywire at the end (blew up his reputation with his family and in-laws and good friends, bad friends were telling him to "keep choosing his happiness" and I see glimpses of his regret, he uses anger and pride to hide it. But God is faithful and we are all working on things, to hear good news soon.
2nd road: realize that if she was good enough to date, she was good enough to marry and MAN UP! You're not better than her, get off that prideful horse, she's exactly at your level. She is your woman. Go home and tell her that "the only way out of this marriage is via death so better get ready".
Tell yourself that every day, choose her every blessed day. Make up your mind and every day keep choosing your wife.
Money will come. This too, shall pass. And when the money comes, thank the Lord and do not discard the wife of your youth. There's nobody out there, there's nothing better.
Just ask Tuface and all the men who were hailing him for "upgrading" and are now quietly using him as teachable moment.
Whatever she writes on social media, discuss with her calmly, try and get some maturity abeg. You're a husband and a father now.
Everytime money looks tight, go home and play with your wife and little daughter. They're all you have in this world, nothing will make you richer. Blessings are in their hearts for you, you only need be kind and faithful to them, to unlock it.
This too, shall pass. Remember that. Thank you so much for this wonderful advice..Noted 🙏🏽 |

Avoid long pickups. esp on Uber (most riders are impatient and will cancel) Ask rider for directions if unsure (but be careful) Experience is a good teacher, esp with positioning & how you start ur day Thank you so much for this wonderful advice..Noted |

SHOOPSYN: Boss, learn to buy fuel right, get fuel only at confirmed stations (mrs ahmodu, Mobil Agidingbi, Total Gbagada etc. Avoid these locations, Alakija, Amuwo Odofin Orile Iganmu, Ojo Mile2/Apapa Amukoko, Bagadry Oko Agbon Igbo Elerin Okokomaiko Ifelodun Ajeromi Shigbiri Oko afo etc. If you miss road or bridge, you will certainly find your way out, no matter what. Lagos route is very interesting. Facing traffic, burning fuel or losing few bucks is better than been at the mercy of the vampire law enforcers, no revers on highway oo, no mind riders advising you to quickly use one way. Any issue with police, always sort it on the road, no drive go their den. Don't do offline deliveries. Don't go inside any warehouse or store to collect delivery on behalf of rider, or using code on their behalf. Na smartness and luck, especially this period, no be hardwok. Is not about number of trip you did daily, is about number of goodfair trip you did. Becareful of one way, especially around Shomolu, if you are sensitive, something will tell you, you are entering a one way, study the road and car positions. For this period, stay with bolt and Uber, no go drag ride with Glithronix and co oo, you won't get any trip. Minimum fare for this "period" should be 350/400 per km. Divide trip gross by km to have 'idea' because traffic time should also be considered. ALWAYS PARK AT SAFE PLACE... if you need to drive 3km to find safe place, do. Yaba, Ogba, Olowora, etc have more safe places. And if there is traffic to drive to safe places, enter any bank, eatery, find seat, queue up and enjoy AC while looking for another trip  DONT PICK UP at airport for any reason. Only drop off and zoom off to Ajao estate. If Jesus stops you to pick Him up, tell Him to come to designated car park.  If you have butter face and cool person, you go need Feli001 , small, chinchini touch of agbero vibes and words (not really necessary). Lately, interms of earnings, saturday and sunday is overatted, but they are good days to build confidence. Lastly, have exiting plans, either long, medium or short, plan na plan. I wish you best of God. Thank you so much for this wonderful advice..Noted |
