yes, you are right, though somtyms I don't lyk ubers style,

why wud u send me 3km to pick a rider n eventually rider is just going around 3-4km too or just around d street laden wt traffic.

Most of dese apps think only about deir profits n riders( taxify is guilty of this)

Why am I using your app to drive in d first place? Ofcousr, to make 'Profit'.

Sending me all the way to pick someone, I get to d place, rider headed to ICM Ikeja, just across d street, end trip, #375, waited 20mins , no gbagaun.

you know how cumbersome ICM is, you HV to park n go n sort deir parking shit @ n all.
Then d waiting time too.

Although am in retirement stage already, Uber will never penalize you for "not accepting" trips.
So you can ignore trip requests with long ETA.

I just resumed this Monday and my acceptance is @ 51% already.

Noting fit happen.

JonAutoGuru:
Just when i was hoping my money ll b complete Nov ending and id comman pick it.... You're still flogging 1000kms on it again...

Expect nothing less than 10,000km extra by January.
Engine wey sharp must cover mileage.
Na dead car's dey fear to cover mileage.

JonAutoGuru:

Then I can now re-list the car for sale @ 600k still

Already I have flogged over 1,000km since I first advertised it.

Golden rule of corolla ownership:

Never park a corolla outside the gate, no matter the circumstance, time of the day or predicament.

Sorry for your loss, and yes you will get a brainbox to match.
50% possibility you might even get your old brainbox.

O ye lazy drivers of nairaland

Look at what your mates are achieving, and y'all keep rejecting trips, cancelling at will and closing for the day as early as 11pm.

Am not a newbie on bolt and uber app...

If you aren't a newbie, you should know both apps calculate your fare using distance covered in km and time in mins

Look closely at both screenshots
Uber screenshot- the destination is spot on at la campagne.
Bolt screenshot- the destination is at ogombo area of ajah that's why the fare was calculated to be that low.

In reality, both apps charge almost same fare.

YOU can never pay 3500 from your pick-up to lacampagne. It's not possible.

Infact if you doze off, an amateur driver will drop you at Atican beach which is the destination am seeing on your bolt app.

princetom1:
Are u just using bolt? Why will i be dropped at atican wen i point at la campagn tropicana on the map?

Check your destination on the bolt app again.

You will gladly be dropped somewhere around ogombo-okun ajah road. Atican beach precisely

chucsmoore:
December is around d corner. Everyone should be careful of their movement, most especially at night.

Most especially corolla boys.
I can't drive that car past 6pm

princetom1:
Trying over uber is a waste of time... U should have tried Bolt... See below

Lol,
The bolt app will drop you at Atican beach.
Over 70km away from la capagne

Body go tell u

nextstep:
You guys are so disgusting... so that's what you could find in all these pictures?




Na lie, I been dey think the same thing.


But on a serious note, one needs to go to these places once in a while, and I'm happy to see more of us touring in our own country. Just to stay on the beach for 2 nights would be so relaxing. I'm currently saving up for a 1 week stay in Idanre Hills. I may do this for the Christmas break, away from the hectic celebrations.

Idanre is another sweet place
Been there a couple of times. But am sure it's not as it used to be.

When I visited idanre, climbed to the highest point on the hill where very few people have settlements.
Don't know if people still live on the hill as of today, but Gulder ultimate search held one season on the hill, I remember.

Tourism was sweeter a decade ago.
Not sure I will ever visit any tourist site in Nigeria.


Pics of idanre hills and Erin-ijesha water falls 12 years ago. Lol.

izzou:
Lol

Whispering palms still dey exist?. I visited it when I was little

Beeen there over 20times. Lol.
I so much love the serenity.
If not for bad road, surulere to whispering palms na 2hr30min max, 10 years back.

All these beaches and resorts are over hyped

The best time to visit is when they just opened shop(when they re just starting out).

When I Visited La capagne in 2010, it was so exquisite and lovely. Will try and get pix from my archives.
It was also cheap to enter lol.

Talk about whispering palms, LCC, and the likes. They were very cheap over a decade ago.

Perhaps inflation also attributed to their exhorbitant fees.

Exclusive pics from JULY 2010.

Abeg These uber chiefs.
Na car I wan sell.
Make Una no troll here.

laivwire:
But the photos are saying something different

Because you didn't calm down and see that the odometer is calibrated in km

tojahh:
Hahaha. Nna no be small thing jare...


Happy Sales my brother.

I thought they found a car for you on the uber thread
Abi na audio car

greatbrian:
It is from the original owner bro. The only problem is I knew after payment. The said owner purchased it, registered it and left it till he will finish payment. Few months after he couldn't conclude the payment coz he ran out of funds and he decided selling through the same dealer he bought from.


all this came to my knowledge after payment

My last paragraph will cast you. It takes less than 2weeks to register a tokunber car.
So eventuarry, you will be caught.

chillex8:
If the transfer of ownership is not coming from the original owner(the one the car is registered to),return the car.

There was a case like this sometime ago, and police was involved to retrieve the car.
Cos the original owner layed a compliant.

A tokunbo car should never be on the MVAA systems at all.

Now, it will take you approx 3 months to register that car again as Nigerian used.

greatbrian:
Its not stolen. I have all the particulars

rationalmind:
Corolla users in the building, what's the average mpg you achieve within the city?

I dont need EPA ratings or anything of such please. What I want is real life Naija figures

My Corolla does 10km for every 1litre of petrol in lagos.
Have never done highway driving with it before.
Can't trust corolla on the highway.

rapheal5:
Pls can i get 2005 toyota corolla tokunbo for 1.6m?

Yes you can.
