Her papa dey find person wey dem go take renew ambition for 2023. For the guy mind...he go they reason maybe the babe like him ....

But everything is actually not rituals you know. Though l'll suggest he use his discretion.

Sometime last week I got a request around past 9pm from igando to ojodu b/stop. Thought I could beat off the police hotspots before 10pm but I was wrong.

After like 4 check points and sorting coming back, I decided to stay put until morning at the last one.

Some few moments later a guy was also stopped and was made to sort before he was let go, all of this happened a stone throw from Radisson blu, just by the GAC auto showroom, in Ikeja.

We got talking and he told me his hustle. He drives a Mitsubishi sedan that he uses to carry passengers for remittance on the car. He plans to use it on e-hailing once his driving license is out.

But something happened one day he came out to hustle. A girl who ordered for uber but due to the long wait decided to ride in his car. Unfortunately she didn't have enough cash on her so she pleaded with the 2h she had. He declined, but later decided to help her and that was how their romance started.

Unknown to him this girl lives in ajah with a car of her own, gives him money every other day and has even promised to assist him get an apartment in ajah before the year runs out.

He played a phone recording they had, and believe you me, this girl is madly in love. There are people out there who are lonely but can't seem to understand why.

Who else notices that taxi scam no longer add toll fee at the end of the trip even after they might have said your toll fee is included. The two receipts attached below are my evidences the first one I passed through Lekki epe toll, while the second was through Ikoyi link even the fare self no correct, between Uber don mad self I took a woman too and fro from Vi to Agungi and back but they only included one toll fee their reply make me laugh. Na make God just save person from this slavery

May be the guy wants you to spell etag with alphabets he understands. For better clarity next time, just take a selfie when next you go through the tolls.

[color=royalblue]When you get to the end of 3MB, you would have climbed up, like you wanted to make a U-turn, but instead of coming down, keep going straight..

You can make a U-turn under Carter bridge and enter Nnamdi Azikiwe

Na so I take dey enter Idumota oh[/color]

Many thanks.

my second day on this job, I miss my way to ado road ajah and i hv to go turn at vgc round about..Rider was a young lady in her early twenties, she was mad seriouly but later she said oga i forgive u because os this jamz u hv been playing, ur playlist is mad ooooooo so she say

Reminded me of what happened yesterday.

Picked up 3young ladies headed for idumota market from ipaja. Relied heavily on the map, so I took the exit at under bridge, turned at akowonjo round about, climbed the bridge and headed towards agege, through Ikeja, oworonshoki na so I face 3rd mainland bridge like no mans business.

On the bridge, the app was just rerouting. Na him I swallow spit like what the fk? Me when no no road for Lagos.

Last, last na apongbo I go see myself. Has anyone ever experienced this on 3rd mainland bridge?

And by the way, for those who know, where would I have exited from the bridge?

D driver was blinded by the outrageous fare he bargained, he was outsmarted.

Personally, I don't get moved by anyone bragging. Talk is cheap. If you have DT kind of money, you shd have an android phone wt a bank app that transfers n not using third party ATM.


riders asking whether I have money , d response is No. Even if its obvious.

Cos I'm not your bank.

Same here. My line is, "I just came out, first trip of the day".

When you hear brother wey mumu, brother wey no wise.


I just feel some people are naturally gullible till death.

How manage naa, how can how can?? A total stranger, just shopping wit ur ATM like say na water

He was given an uncashed check of 1.5m. The thing sef weak me for marrow.

I can't see how much I'm owing Uber oo, hope all.is well

Baba pull the agbada, its in your way of vision.

Sorry didn't get that? The typo is misleading

I mean your guys side hustle? But then again, I think you mentioned he carries passengers at garages.

Bolt and uber will have a taste of their medicine years to come if they keep blocking drivers that have partnered with them for more than a year.

Because those drivers will have better alternatives. I've a friend on hp he has not turned on his app for the past 6months and he's doing great.

Soon a lot of drivers will wake up to their senses to see that these foreigners are only enslaving them in their houses.

Bro what's this you rguy doing that he is still able to meet up without putting on his app?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But do you guys really think Moove didn't do a proper research before they rolled out this plan?

I think they have something under their sleeves. While some are thinking they'll be out of business, I'm thinking they may be staying.

Time will reveal everything sha.[/color]

Certainly the research wasn't properly done. Those cars on Nigerian roads won't last till dawn. Lagos roads are crazy they will give your car a beating. How much will those cars turn in before the next oil change, na Visco 2000 them go use or mobil1? Or will the parts be bought from ladipo or will they import them?

Godfather10:
Nothing ventured nothing gained it its a tie up withUBER though it will be a win win for all parties with UBER sending their best customers to riders using these cars

But you also still have to consider positioning. Will these cars be everywhere? Only time will tell.

davit:
2000 for car inspection

Thanks.

davit:
By booking inspection on uber app, drivers onboarding is still taking place. Take note of that.

Please what do the inspection centers charge?

pope191:
You go pay me b dat for Ali Babaring u.

So today I took a stop at uber office and decide to check the Moove thing, I saw Corolla 2016, fear no let me near their door, I was just having too many imbalance in my head & imagination... But Vegas come to mind, so I rest my case

Your reward dey heaven bros. I can't fit pay you in naira.

Took a request somewhere in Igando today (indriver), the road was hellish. A 2016 corolla for that kind road? I rest my case. Aunty radu you may want to pull out your letter headed paper...

I thought I should give this ekocab a try and this was the mail they sent me which was later followed by a text msg. So for those looking for a car could also try them. I am sure your riders won't mind if you show up with a neat yellocab.

northbird:
For corolla, my experience is using Mobil 1, it's I think ₦4,900 or so in d mkt.
Everty 4 weeks, I drain the oil whether it is dark, sticky or not.

I put a new one with new filter.


I don't believe in keeping engine oil in a car for more than 4 weeks esp. If the car moves about daily.

If 5k monthly can prevent me from shopping for a tokunbo engine replacement, why not?

How many quartz is this?

pope191:
Lol, d cross tour is Honda, my own is Under

"Under" bros you crack my ribs there.

pope191:
Boss don't get it twisted, cross tour 3.5L is not dat easy... Not all drivers r out for d money, some r drivers in Mrjaydee's & Tojahh's clothing.

as well as calabardick

pope191:
Lol, just pack ur corolla for front of lush mall and claim u r not Uber driver, u'll explain urself tire that day. It remind me of the day I pack my korope behind one cross tour, the rider came out and head to the cross tour, I just deh inside my car, deh look d oloju nla trying to open the cross tour in my mind is like, goan embarrass urself, cos if u r the owner of dis fine car, u'll put it on uber. Only God knows d eyes she will use to look my korope after realising her mistake.

Na torch light phone she use order for the ride, abi she no see the type of ride when suppose pick her?

olaboyeh:
I can get the engine replaced there also yeah?

He can also get you an engine. No p. Oyingbo is the head quarters of Honda.

olaboyeh:
abeg you get any reliable Honda Mecho pls. my engine needs replacement

Why not go to oyingbo. Better still hook up lovinghubby, he sells car parts at oyingbo market he will definitely arrange for someone for you especially if you buy parts from him.

peeps4u:
Sebi all these are easily verifiable on frsc portal?

I've once seen a car whose plate number wasn't captured on frsc portal when I checked.

Eye opener. It never occurred to me then that I could do that.

Gentlelife50:
Thank God it's sorted out, too much nyama nyama for this our obodo

Thanks. Glade its behind me now. A piece of advice for those who intend buying Nigerian used car. Besides going along with mechanic please verify that the license plate is valid and the physical properties of the car (colour, engine number, chassis number...) is what is represented on the system, otherwise, hands off.

Gentlelife50:
Where did you get the former plate number?

Came with the car I bought. The former owners insurance and customs paper panned out but the license doc didn't. Scary ish.

Gentlelife50:
I think they used to check cars with Lagos State plate numbers on Lagos State portal not road safety portal because at a point Lagos State was issuing plate numbers then later it will be moved to federal road safety portal, so if you are looking for it in the road safety portal you may not find it.

I later went to alausa Ikeja "ministry of transportation" and it was verified as fake. But issue has been resolved, I was given a new plate number today. Really stressed out! Been there since morning just got home. Though had to stay back a bit because of traffic.

Anyone with experience on how this issue can be dealt with: Went to vio office to renew vehicle papers but after running a check on the plate number it returned a different vehicle information from the one I am driving. The car was bought Nigerian use. Its been over a yr since I've been using the vehicle.

Good evening house. Please anyone with contact where I can do police character report, and how much will it cost? Thanks.

davit:
Yes it does. But if there is traffic like I experienced yesterday, you bear all the losses. Price is fixed.
Rider may not add to your fare. Best thing is to check the road tru map before embarking on the trip. Else, ur case na sorry.

Thanks mate. Appreciate your input.

famousguy01:
It’s commission free, I think they might start charging in the future

So does that mean everything the driver makes goes to the driver?
