Please house, what does it mean if app (uber) requests for riders code before starting trip? Last night, carried a pretty Hausa lady from airport junction to vi and when I tried to start trip app started requesting for riders code. Rider had to call the person that ordered the ride and before the code was sent, I was almost at illupeju. Ended trip and instead of airport junction to vi, I saw illupeju to vi...weird.

Ok guys I want to ask this question. On Monday, I was at lekki and set destination to Berger, got omole estate we began the journey and I checked g map and gmap told me to go through Broad street (marina) as it is 22mins faster than Osbourne. Lo and behold, I took Broad street, before I knew it I found myself inside balogun Google will tell me to turn left to a street that's not motorable or overtaken by market ppl.
We later spent almost 3hrs before reconnecting to 3mb via Adele adeniji.
Yesterday, I set destination to Berger, got ogba from lekki 1. Decided to face normal ikoyi to 3mb. Still spent 3hrs on Osbourn Rd alone. N:b the 2 riders weren't happy with the journey, thinking I intentionally drove them to traffic prone roads. So my question is, since this 3mb repair is on, how do you go to the mainland from the island from 5pm without offending your riders?

I always prefer 3rd mainland bridge to access mainland. Albeit last night I used eko bridge while heading to somolu. However on many occasion I just ignore gooogle map and instead force it to reroute to my preferred route to avoid stories that touch.

What I find challenging most times is knowing which direction to face when a request comes in. Sometimes map says, "head south" , and am like, "which one be south now"? Sometimes I end up giving myself headache trying to study the blue line but to no avail. Other times I drive some distance to know if I'm moving in the right direction and if I'm not the headache is increased a notch when the blue line is redrawn.

To that federal g.o.a.t that claims to be a millionaire catfish grower and still drive on Bolt coming from Anambra, who do you think you're deceiving? Fish farm requires more time than any other livestock farming the earlier you go back to your village and take care of your fish the better for you, else your supposed workers will feed your fish with gamanin while you're here trying to move Lagos to Anambra.

Nonsensical nonsense

This shii is about to serious.

radautoworks:
Haba na. You? Bother?

Thanks for the gesture, honestly, you warmed my heart. Will probably take advantage of the end of year offer.

AngryIgboDon:
Crvrider, be aware too that you were billed 18k because the person that recommended him here has a share in that money. Maybe 10k or so.

So much for brotherhood.

You are quite right about this.

Anyways, I already dropped his number but there's not wrong in dropping it twice: oyingbo rewire 08096551676 (saheed)

radautoworks:
Glad you got it solved. Trying to figure this out remotely was not going to work. I thought you would take advantage of the free diag

I think the problem started way after the offer. Didn't want to be a bother.

Dem de list am for am.
I am here till a trip comes in...

What happened to "customer is always right"?

Felicity0001:
May God always direct us to those that has the solution to our problems

You can say that again brotherly. Funny thing was I was driving around looking for a good spot to park when I got to the end of one road and two little boys approached asking me what I wanted, uninterestingly I just said rewire that was when they called the guy.

IFSHR:
Abeg gimme him number

08096551676 his name is saheed. Find your way to oyingbo, Honda parts market and give him a call for direction. At first he won't strike you like someone who knows what he's doing, but truly the guy is grounded.

Felicity0001:
I've a kazeem whonis good at what he does, I can vouche for him... Dele by name and you can only meet him at his workshop Ladipo.

Let me know if you'd like me forward his contact to you. I can talk to him not to collect workmanship from you but after 1week of work done.

Thanks. Appreciate. Issue already resolved. Was at oyingbo today.

nitigriti:
Call Bolaji 0802 297 8408. He is a genius. His workshop is in Akoka area.

Thanks mate. Saw this late but issue has been resolved.

Its been a crazy week since on Monday. Reached out to madam radu and gazzuzz, even went to visit a mechanic I met on nairaland who diagnosed that I had to change the throttle body of my car. After trying two throttle body and the entire day in his shop with no solution other than he saying I have to change all my coils and plug, I had to leave bittered and angry for wasting my time.

Got a connect to meet with a rewire at oyingbo who charged me 18k to solve my cars predicament. I thought that was entirely outrageous. Anyways, got to oyingbo non the less but decided to meet a random rewire guy, took a chance on the guy. He had no fancy equipment, or fancy shop. He was just a guy in a shackle called a shop, or did he!?

Guess what in less than an hour this guy was done with only his screw driver with flexible copper wire attached to the bottom end.

He asked me to turn on the engine and viola the multiple misfiring had disappeared. The only thing he did was to service my cars vtc oil control solenoid.

I tried two throttle bodies
My cars entire coils and plug was written off (thank God I didn't listen to the mech)
I was asked to pay 18k by a rewire who thought himself as a god

for something a kazeem used 5k and under 1hr to fix.

See image of the culprit below:

Posted this at the beginning of the week:

@aunt radu; @gazzuzz, the bolded, copied from a site, best describes my ordeal:

the misfire is only at idle, under no load, and disappears when i press the gas pedal. So to keep the engine alive, l need to constantly keep throttling. However, to prevent this my mech has had to raise the rpm

@the bolded has also been suggested as a probable cause:
Or, the better approach, is to test the resistance on the injectors to make sure it's not an internal electrical failure

Also got a code reading from the bolded:
Do you have other codes, especially for engine management sensors like MAP/MAF/TPS/EGR?

Below is the solution the site proffered:
the most common issue on older cars is a vacuum leak (or dirty throttle body / idle air control valve). Best first step: clean the throttle body and IAC.

Your input is highly appreciated.

Its been confirmed that its an electrical issue, expecting to meet with a rewire tomorrow at oyingbo and he's billed me 18k. I feel its on the high side, anyone with a contact of someone who is good at this rewire thing should please drop his/her contact. Thanks

I have never picked any rider from local airport, just drop off and face GRA.
I like pick up from the international wing. Well organized and simple. Drop off at the top, pick up under.
Not the chaos they usually have at the local wing where drop off and pick up are so close.
There was this back to back trip I did. I got this request from badore to international airpot, after dropping rider, I decided to go make a uturn at nahco and then join the light traffic at the drop off zone just to see if request go enter. Lo and behold, request enter, another long trip to chevron.

Female Rider : Where are you ?
Me : I'm on top of you.
Female rider : You said what ?
Me : I... I wanted to say that I'm at the top... where... where they drop off passengers.
I turn to stammerer by fire by force for saying " I'm on top of you. "
Me and rider no talk till I drop her at her destination.

Why you self go climb her without her consent?

donfortune48:
Those guys are wicked.

I had a terrible encounter with them 2weeks ago.

Got a request to chevron drive from mm1.
Got to pickup, rider was already on standby just after the car park entrance. But there are cars at his front so he directed me to drive forward a bit. I have to move just out the small gate at mm1.
Immediately I stopped, one of them clamped me with those their big iron wager. And rider was just about to open the door, I locked my doors back immediately, reversed back to escape, they clamped my back tyre with another one.
I climbed the one in front with speed, and it got stuck under my car making serious noise as I drive and there is little traffic at my front.
People started shouting that I will spoil my car, but I no send any one. I kept moving small in the little traffic till the thing got out from under my car, but affected my right fender.
They rushed me immediately, trying to open my door. but luckily the traffci at my front cleared and I sped. One of them by my right side dragging my door handle fell down and rolled on the ground. Those in front respected themselves and cleared. I drove straight to the Conoil just before the express, rider called me and apologized, begged me to wait at the Conoil, he'll treck to meet me.

I waited till he got there and proceeded with the trip.

Those guys are heartless.

I don't undeunderstand, is it that drivers are not allowed to pick riders at the airport? I picked an elderly man at mm2 terminal without the other day being harassed.

eyinola:
They just arrest me at the airport now

Boss wetin you do?

majekky:
Hello, Please does anyone knows if uber greenlight Maryland is open or when it will? Urgent Reply Needed because i been there like 5 time during lockdown.

jaymejate:
Your safety and that of your car is important. You fight hard another day. Take care

Ghost1994:
Moove never ready yet

Imagine driving only Uber In fact most of moove car driver wey I always sight for traffic, always carry angry and kinda Strong face while on steering

Uber wey sabi give long distance pick up with plenty short trips.

Thank God for Bolt

Ubers short trips can make man impotent. The thing dey kill libido. Started today with 5h trip on uber. The next 2 trips, riders didn't show up...collected cancellation fee for both request. Las las na so I switch to indriver.

Blackbishop:
Hope you are safe?

Thanks for checking up. The car gave me stress today. Something to do with the throttle body. Had a mech do some management repairs. Car is home. Am home...and with a sad face. Planned to go all out today and tomorrow but the issue stopped me on my track.

Boss, i really would have loved for you to lay hands on this car. December I no want f-up.

Please anyone around cele bustop aguda surulere, changed my fuel pump this morning, everything was working fine up until this evening. Now car just keeps going off when I take my leg off the gas pedal.

chillex8:
As seen on inDriver .

It's actually 4.9km from A to B. 14km is your actual location to pickup and it reads 49min.

This how i do my analysis when accepting a ride on indriver:

If my location + pickup + destination = 1hr then do 1100-1300
If my location + pickup + destination > 30min & < 1hr then do 700 -800.

In a nut shell I need to be making anything from 1100 -1300 per/hr and 600-800 per/30min

This is how I filter rides but destination counts a lot

abefeabebi:
Boss how long does this take to get report in ur mail, finished my around past 10 today and the guy said in the next 1hour i will get the report., but till now nothing in my inbox.

You need an OND to drive

An OND in what exactly, driverpreneur management!? Even the presido of Nigeria only needs a waec certification.

I hv actually used both savings and current, same story

That is a wrong swift. The swift you should use is something like this GTBINGLA. This is for gtbank.

toomush:
You don't pay into any account(to the best of my knowledge oooh), I once was owing Uber 7k+.... I also met a driver who was owing uber 20k and their were still giving him cash trips

Thanks. Its more like they don't collect commission then?

IFSHR:
That's their own way of telling u say this life no balance

U dey owe them commission

Okay. So how do I pay? Had two trips yesterday that where card, is that how they collect their money, or is there an account I'm to pay into?

In the uber app under "earnings", what does it mean to have a negative balance?
