@ mrjaydee
See trip wey dem rob oil for head. shai!
Me dey here for this hot sun dey drag AC vent with one girl wey wan trend for instablog. No be me you go take shine.
Even before the girl enter car, while she was walking towards my car... for my mind I don dey reason say why person go pack all these things put for face for this kind hot sun all in the name of "looking good"
Immediately she got into the car, Oga pls increase your AC the weather is too hot. For my mind, Oh you even know say the weather hot, you come pack all the foundation and pancake abi na wetin dem they call am self put for face.
Rider : Oga this thing (pointing at one of the AC control knob) is in the middle.
Me : That's the fan and showed her the other knob.
Rider : Ah, and immediately shifted the direction of the air flow of one of the two vents close to my side to her side.
Remember say two vents dey blow directly to her because she sidon for front. Me shift am back to my side. Ah ah! two vents no do this girl, she still want shift the third one to her side. And I believe say if to say her hand fit reach for the one wey dey my window side, she for shift that one too.
Nah so she shift am back to her side again. On a second thought, I just let it slide.
I'm very careful with riders. But get back to being me once I go offline.

Was listening to Jimi Disu one morning like that when this hyper religious fellow entered my car. Dude requested I play him a worship song or I should turn off the radio if I no get any worship song. He also emphasized that it has to be worship song and not even praises.
Since na long trip, I just give am one excuse, continue with Disu. Dude just dey murmur
izzou:
Some times, I usually play them without their permission. If they don't complain, we enjoy am together grin

Most times, my stereo is either on CD player or aux. I only listen to Jimi Disu on 97.3 or Ore and her gang on 91.3

I just got home not quite long from my ehailing hustle.

You don drive on ehailing before undecided

I saw a comment on this issue on twitter,

ALL riders should be made to register an ATM card on rider app, but can decide to use cash or card by their choice. I 'liked' the tweet!
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by confusedworld17: 10:07pm On Nov 26, 2019
one of the ways to stop the killing of drivers and all these riders wey no wan pay is for uber/taxify to stop cash payment and let it be only card payment.

Dear Ladies,
Biko!, Ejo!, Don Allah Don Anabi!.
Please anytime you are close to your monthly --- Please always start wearing your guard a day or two days before the expected day in order to avoid stories that touch and there by reducing to lowest possibilities of it taking you unaware.
Monday morning like this na him one rider massively stained my car seat (owner's side). It was my next rider that drew my attention to it. she cancelled the ride immediately and requested for another ride.
I had to go to a nearby store to buy pure water, detergent, hypo, sponge and small hand towel to tidy up. Had to wait for about one hour for it to dry a bit before I continue the hustle.
Thanks.

Not directly connected
northbird:
wat about step 2.

Cos the fan too mite draw power, wc d kickstarter doesn't have. But d little mite b able to start engine .

This is if ur fan is connected direct ( ie cold start).
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by confusedworld17: 4:44pm On Nov 17, 2019
Not yet, one mechanic guy just loose the kick now... working on it so
northbird:
1500 just to start a car. Services in Lagos is price overrated sha..

In Abj, if your battery is down. Standard rate is #500. If someone offers to give deir batter to you.

A lot of times , if its not express, some people WL offer deir battery free sef.

Infactcsome guys won't even collect d money from you.

@ cworld, hv u been able to start d car.
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by confusedworld17: 4:32pm On Nov 17, 2019
I know say na kickstarter. Battery guy don come and go, the thing no gree start.
tojahh:
Quite unfortunate.... Ita 1k on the mainland but as na Island and on a Sunday just run am make you go house. Or stand beside the car and be flagging other cars for help. Maybe you'll see someone who will let you have his battery so you can start it.


Good luck.
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by confusedworld17: 3:34pm On Nov 17, 2019
Did # 1 to no avail. Some one directed me to a battery man, the guy checked and said it ‘s battery and said he is going to collect 1500. Told him 1000 but he refused.
northbird:
have you been able to resolve it.

Hacks that I was advised to use then.

1.Take yr wheel spanner n tap the kickstarter lightly . n try to start it again.

Try not to crank d engine too much so that you don't drain d battery.

2. If you can do it, or wt d help of whoever is wit you. Remove the plug from the mouth of the radiator fan ( that is if its cold start). N try to start the engine. If it starts, put the fan plug back n find your way home.

Good luck

While on the trip, the traffic just dey tie wrapper small small.
Rider : How can I buy airtime now ? I need it very urgent.
Me : Buy from your account.
Rider : Yeah I know that, I have tried it several times now but to no avail.
Me : Okay, let me try from my account. What's the # you want to credit ?. - Could do this cos movement was almost at stand still.
Me : Have you received the airtime ?
Rider : No.
Me : I have been debited.
Rider : Are you sure you didn't send it to a wrong # ?

After reconfirming the #, turned out that I missed one #.
Before I could say anything, rider change am for me say ... It's on you, you put the wrong #.
Waka wey no suppose pass 15 minutes from VI to Ikoyi, took us 47 minutes 43 seconds. Total fare 850.
I Burnt extra fuel to get to pick up point, my 1k enter water untop say I want help rider buy airtime, burnt another extra fuel to get to drop off.

Radautoworks, You don come again with another link. The last one I read from you, my eyes begin dey turn me. I need milk and malt by my side before I start reading this one grin grin grin
radautoworks:
She was rude, definitely but let's try to see the other side for a second. It's 12am (there are legitimate reason why she could have been out at that time before criticism starts), she needs a ride in a somewhat remote location, she thinks she has one then the carpet is yanked out from under her. It's possible he wasn't the first one she had gotten who had also cancelled, she's frustrated and he just got it. She may have just gotten in an argument with her man and was upset and just wanted to go home, etc..

Again, she was definitely out if line but it doesn't necessarily mean that was typical behavior for her. Before you respond, read below and think.

Though the thought of asking people around did not come to me at that moment but nah Sunday night, all the shops around there were under locks and keys and no much people around.
okiyi:
Going by your story the money is obviously yours but next time bro at least try to ask people around (You don't have to reveal the amount to anyone in case you come across someone claiming ownership) cos if the story was different that may have been someone's monthly salary you picked up you never know and losing it in such a manner'll have spelt doom to such a fellow. At least if you had asked around (assuming the money wasn't yours) and you were unable to locate the rightful owner u'll have had a clear conscience spending the money. My Opinion tho �

No be everybody like to show say dem get money.
Those sounding so condescending should go and read " THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR" and give your selves some brain.

Meanwhile, yesterday after I don close for work around 10pm. Na so I arrange all the cash wey I collect put for my pocket, about 12k.

I pack like 4 to 5 buildings before the place wey I want by bread and akara, after buying the bread and akara, getting close to where I pack, nah so I see folded money on the ground, I quickly pick the money enter car and zoom off.

While inside car driving home, for my mind, I don pick better money. When I enter house to count the money wey I pick, e come be say na my own money fall for ground.

That night I no come know weda make I dey happy say no be another person pick my money or make I dey sad say money wey I think say I pick just vanish.

After driving a minimum of 5 days a week for the past one year, I decided to take a deserved break from the hustle and bustle of lagos life.
Came back on Saturday, hit road Sunday morning.
The usual drama started around 4pm - Oven guys make una gather here... grin
Got the request in lekki 1. Rider called almost immediately and her voice was so calm and direct to the point.
Got to rider's house, rider came outside wearing a short dress, obviously not looking like someone that was ready to go out or far.
Rider : Pls I need you to come inside my compound to assist me with something.
Me : I followed her like say she put jazz for mouth take talk to me or nah her manner of approach sha. But from the look of things, the girl nah complete butter. So I will call her "Pino Pino"
Got into the compound, pino pino say make I wait here that she's coming. Already before that point, me don already make up my mind say I no go follow pino pino enter their house. Make e no go be set up.

Lest I forget, Pino pino don already tell me to start trip Ooo..
After some minutes, Pino pino came out all smiles wearing one hot bumper short and one top that is revealing her belly.
As she was approaching towards me, I just dey wonder for my mind, What is going on here ?
Pino pino: How do I look ?
Me : Was num and staring at her for few seconds before she cut my thought... I just want you to help me select the best outfit to go out in.
Me : Oh! no problem, you look good in this one.
Pino pino : I'm coming let me change this one.
After changing like three times, I just tell pino pino say make she wear the second one.
Pino pino : Why did you choose the second dress.
Me : That one can turn head.
Pino pino : Did I turn your head ?
Me : Well, you know I'm working now and so I can go into that. Pino pino smiled and left.
Las las pino pino wear the one I suggested. Turned out that pino pino was going to see one guy for the first time.
Pino pino dash me 1k untop the normal pay.

Request don enter and nah one hour plus trip. I go continue the second drama later...

Are there drivers who feel inferior if a rider sat at the back seat? Picked up this girl and she was trying to explain to me that she needed to sit at the back in order to change her dress, needs space to arrange her stuffs... Had to interrupt and jokingly told her that the fare remains the same no matter where a rider sits and as a matter of fact, I prefer make dem sidon for back so that everyone go answer him or her papa name.

My mind dey always cut anytime I get to a pick up location and see that kids will be in that trip.
They will either mess up your car or be fighting themselves, and their mother will be shouting at them - SIT DOWN! STOP THAT ! and other irritating things sha.
And at the end of that trip, I will heave a sigh of relief.

Feel free to add your own ....

But on a more serious note, I doubt if a married man (or even a single guy) on rental will be able to save enough money from this job to buy his own car.

I'm married with only one child for now and I don dey drive my own car, 5 days in a week for over one year now, so... I'm talking from experience.

SEVEN THUNDEROUS GBOSA !!! to all the GOOD drivers out there on rental. The hustle no be moi moi.

Though I never join UBER wen the biz still be "ELDORADO" But I wish it's still like that till now. My point is - even though the biz go dey saturated, I prefer to do two or three trips in a day and go home with something good and my body intact than this one wey person go dey road morning till night looking for wetin no lost grin
