I don't know about you but what I learnt from this is that Feli and Dru can write quite coherently when they choose to

The hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob.

Kwantinue... Las las e go end in "The spirit is willing but the body is weak."

I was at one event center to pick up a rider. 
Rider turned out to be the chef for the owambe. Rider wants to pack all her loads into my car. Even gas cylinder and that big iron burner that they use for those big big pots. I was so furious  that I wanted to react and tell her that I'm not going but the little asshole in me whispered and gave me an idea of what to do.
So I allowed her with the help of two of her boys to load their stuffs inside my trunk and the remaining one at the back seat to the extent that there was only a space for just one person at the back. Even the little space would not contain one person comfortably.

As if that was not enough, madam chef told one of the boys to lap the other one. Me was just standing by the side watching them do their thing because I already knew what I wanted to do.
At that point, my rear bumper was about to kiss the ground.

Chef : Oga we are ready come and start the trip.
Me : I'm not going again because of too much loads.
Chef : But it was a driver like you that brought us here with all these loads. 
Me : No vex. I no know say the loads plenty like this.  
Chef : So why did you allow us to take the time and pain to load and now you want us to unload everything ?   
Me : No vex.  
They started unloading... me return to my watching position until they were done.
As them suffer me, make me burn fuel to come do the work of a truck, nothing do me if I make them sweat small.
The thunder wey go fire that driver wey carry all those loads still dey do press up for national stadium.

I waited for one rider for over 20 minutes, Just because request scarce. Paid waiting don dey enter 20 minutes by the time rider enter car.
Me: Showed rider my phone say I wan start trip.
Rider : Wait a minute, Who is going to pay for the paid waiting ?
Me : I don't get it, you of course.
Rider : NO way! I'm going to cancel and request again.
I was already boiling inside, thinking of what to do next. while she was trying to make another request, one thought just hit me like a message from above.
Me: Emm... you need to step out of the car in order for the request to come to me.
Immediately she step out, na so I find my square root.

Dear Drivers,
In all your doings, try as much as you can to avoid wahala riders. It is good for your sanity.

Mine was a mistake from the fuel attendant.
The guy go put 20k for the meter instead of 2k. The guy was busy discussing with one of his colleague while I was looking at the meter.
When it got to 1,900, I then went to get the money from my car and delayed a little bit sef.
Only to raise my head to see the meter still reading. Ah! I now tap the guy say... na 2k I say make you sell, but this meter don sell more than 4k to me.
The guy open mouth shout, then stop the meter. Na so the guy started pleading that I should please add the extra 2k plus fuel that he mistakenly sold to me.
I just told him to thank his stars that I had extra money that moment.

Felicity0001:
Yes but I can't share his contact here without his concept do well to reach me for his contact.

I don send you mail

@Felicity

UNENDING DRAMA for this huber hustle.
Abeg you get the contact of the person you bought tires from ? I want to visit there this Saturday.

Guys lets just be very careful with those lastma guys.
One of them told me that, they are placed on target to deliver a certain amount of money every week or else their OGAS at the top would banish them to sambisa forest.
Even with my contact, I parted with 2k the other day just because, according to them, I didn't wait when the light showed yellow.
Na one yeye truck dey my front that day, if not I for don reach where I dey go.

..

My destination trip today sweet ehn...
So I carried a heavily pregnant woman that has a very large stomach. Due to mad traffic, na so we blow one way Ooo..
Lastma just dey clear road for us. We would have been in that traffic for more than two hours, but it didn't even take us more than 30 minutes to get to her destination and then like another 10 minutes for me to get home.

@Babadee1900.
You no comot huba/bolt commission

Traffic dey dance azonto for bank Anthony way

Situation report from Ikeja GRA.
Only one trip done so far on Huba.
I can sight about 5 drivers in their cars as usual, “Na pi phonu “ pressing their phones

Tell us D person wey want get high blood pressure ?

Gentlelife50:
Rentals 15 to 20k?
You guys just like to be sharing high blood pressure anyhow.

Looks like UBER is not going to open shop this Monday.

radautoworks:
As far as rentals, I think you guys should wait a week and see before deciding. Many companies are not returning to work or returning with skeleton crews and polls of my employees say they plan to take their usual mode of transportation if we resume which is why I'm not resuming. Also, very important.

BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR CAR BACK OUT, CHECK ALL YOUR FLUID LEVELS, CHECK FOR OIL SPOTS ON THE GROUND, TURN ON YOUR CARS FOR 30 MINUTES FOR BATTERY HEALTH AND CHECK YOUR TIRES AS SITTING FOR LONG PERIODS AFFECT THEM.

YOU DO NOT NEED A MECHANIC OR SHOP FOR ANY OF THIS.

This time around I can understand if fokaniza (vulcanizer) told me that my tires need air. But before the lock down, fokaniza go everly tell me say my tires need more air whenever I go for tire pressure check.
Something must drop sha

Transportation is about moving people/goods from one point to another. Remember that there is restriction of movement. Social activities no dey again, which also requires movement.
Some workers are working from home now and the ones that are going to work are not expected in full capacity, 60% at a time or so .

Bigleaf1006:
Lekki flats have always been premium even when majority could not afford them,did the owners reduce rent? No

Central Lagos appartments have always been on the highside, have they all been empty? No

Air plane tickets have always been sold out despite many not being able to afford them locally,did airlines slash fares? No

The market will sell it self and transport business has always been a seller's market and not a buyer's one. Transportation is a need and not a want.

Things are not the way they used to be and you expect rental to still be the same ?
15 to 18k would be fine for now.
I so much love evening and night work.
I love seeing few cars on the road at night, no plenty lastma and police. You can get away with some mistakes at night and can also commit some deliberately just for the fun of it.

15k rental for now is cool. My opinion though

abuabdrahman:

deedee44:
How much be 95 Naira wey dem no go fit afford

It’s N-Ninetyfive. If you are not being sarcastic

The thing is; Our politicians no dey help matters. They don’t mind exaggerating the numbers just to get high intervention funds.
But it’s still a mystery to me that dead bodies are not everywhere here in naija

NYCnextStop:
bro I didn’t argue if you are a Man U fan or not

I only said it’s obvious you didn’t watch ‘99 team to conclude that ‘08 team was better

That ‘99 team had most Man U legends in their prime. It’s not even arguable that 98/99 was man u’s most successful season with the most complete squad

2008 the year C. Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or for the first time. Many legends too in 2008 team.

Felicity0001:
Hmm... See lie

How old you think say I be ? I will not even argue with any one that said he watched those games live in England back then, not to talk of dish.

hefelove:
You forget to add Howard Webb for 2008 set

Similar to what they always say about Barcelona. Uefa dey always support them abi ?

NYCnextStop:
i guess you didn’t watch ‘99 team. Well you will always go with what you saw so not surprised

I’m blues tho

Before now, do even know if I'm a Man U fan or not ? But you just concluded that I didn't watch 99 team.
I don dey watch Man U since 92. Days of those big big dish. Some of the dish then are net like.

@Felicity, @Radauto and other MANU fans.
Which of the MAN U team would you take as the best MAN U team of all time. 1999 team or 2008 team ?
Me, 2008 team all the way.
