If you don’t mind the queue, NNPC is still selling but I have been on the queue since 4:30pm, this is 10:14pm and I’m still at ikoyi club, almost at NNPC gate. So this is not funny at all.
May God be with us all. (Amen).

His vexation is against Nigeria and Nigerians in general. I think we’re all allowed to rant against the systemic failure of this jungle once in awhile . It is currently 5:45am and the son of man is about to go join an already long queue.

Gone are the days where petrol station dread DPR. Infact a single phone call to DPR can shake a fuel station. But now, nobody cares. Everything goes. I just bought fuel for 250/ltr from a regular filling station few minutes ago in this Abuja. They’re so bold to even publicly adjust their meter to read 250/ltr.

Drivers in the house, do you guys fill your tanks or do you just buy 1k here and there?

I have to admit, I have been buying 1k here and there partly due to my budget and partly to measure just how much I can make from a certain amount of petrol in the tank.

However, e be like say I vex today at Mobil and bought full tank.

Since my car has been jerking after buying from multiple petrol stations, I figured Mobil is a name I can trust, and since there was a queue, I just filled her up( that’s what she said).

It’s a good feeling seeing my gauge read full and knowing I won’t have to struggle to find petrol before a trip for a while, but spending that much at a time for petrol left a sour taste in my mouth, lol

If I were u, I will not pay, they will drain back their fuel. If I know my cars tank is 60litres and I say fill up and u r putting upto 65litres, u will explain the magic that is happening.

I got many advises and i can see attacks too, but i have narrowed my choice of persons to work with and are verifiable, i stated clearly why i wanted to start this business from the embarrament i got before seeking help for my mum.
One thing to know, its my money and i'm the one taking the risk and i'm not forcing anyone, the cars i can decide to sell off, but decided to give a try about uber.

I invest what i can afford to lose and thesame time do put strict restrictions to protect my interests, its either you take it or leave it.

I will not allow anyone make mockery of my capabilities anymore.

After reading all the comments on the proposed strike by Bolt drivers I just SMH in dismay.

The truth is there's no driver weather driving with Bolt/Uber/Indriver or any other that is not been affected by this dracula policies being dished out by these EH apps.

Just last week here Uber blocked my account permanent again with the reason that I rejected a card trip.

Now, I flashed back to some of the requests I got the previous day's and I deduced it was one rider that reported and without any form of consultation they just released the sledge hammer on my account, gbam!

The night b4 that day that my account was blocked I was still at lekki at around 9:45pm Uber would not let me set destination and all the trips I was getting was just around the island and I was tired and was desperate to go home, I'd been waiting for over 2hrs hoping to get a trip to the mainland even if na ikeja self I wouldn't mind but non came.
My Bolt was on set destination for several hours it was the next day I noticed my temporarily drivers license had expired reason I didn't get a single trip all along and they couldn't even notify me instead they just stop request from coming in.

I finally decided to drive empty all the way from Chevron or thereabout and on getting to Bank Anthony way, Maryland I got this request with 2.0x on Uber I'd even forgotten my app was on. The rider was not too far away.

Where is this one going I thought within me so I put a call through and she said Ikoyi... I looked at the time it was past 11pm already.

Me wey don blow empty reach house already? What kind of temptation is this? I'll blow empty again come back if I embark on this trip oooh... I thought!

I asked her is it card or cash? This is fuel scarcity session and I've been doing card all along wont I take some money home? The next thing I heard was a man's voice on the background telling her to lie it's cash and not card but already the woman/lady had said it was card...
Me: pls who's going on this ride because I just heard a man's voice on the background and the man said what's all these question with this guy, pls tell him if he doesn't want to go he should cancel.

I hanged up and turn back facing home and then she cancelled.

Next evening I went online and all 4-6 requeats I got all "rider cancelled" even b4 I could get their number to call or chat them. I was frustrated and went offline and didn't go out again that day.

The next morning trying to go online I got a message that my account has been blocked.

Me self I deleted their app straight up, deleted Bolt too. Installed my indriver and powered up my Rida app.

Yesterday I netted 12.5k on both apps with just 3 trips.

What am I trying to say here? Drivers are servants to these app companies but we drivers needs to wake up and tell them we are not servants but masters because we pay them and not them and the only way to change this narrative is to have a Union otherwise nothing will happen.

The idea of having a RS app is good but trust me it won't solve the problem because only one app can't serve the market and they'll at some point monetise it... E.g indrive, watch out for Rida now. They already "pay to app" on their app self so it's just a matter of time b4 they roll out their commission.

The union will have the government backing, belong to the NLC and a policy will be passed to every app coys to make sure every driver are to submit a Union ID b4 they'll be able to go online. With this every driver will be compared to join a Union and this will inturn even reduce the numbers of drivers on the platform because most drivers are part time drivers and this will discourage them or stop them from driving.

From there we can begin to engage these company properly by negotiating as partners not as customer that we currently are to them.
