pocohantas:

This pikin you too get sense. There's vacancy for a second wife, feel free to apply, will consider you sharp sharp.

pocohantas:
My car isn't available. Not like I would have used it though, I only drive to places I am very familiar with- like work and my boyfriends houses

Could make myself available for offline if you don't mind. clitocurrecy is not allowed sha.

ajoks533:
Have been to one repair shop.. They claim to have a Chinese man as boss... Ended up spending my small hard earned money that year and still left with the car at a worst state.
Whereas, some Kazeem know their job.

Wetin make local man talk? Lets pray!

pocohantas:
Pls don't. Your friend will most likely phone another friend, I do not have much calltime

Just tell me how to set my destination or best route via bus - with Surulere/Ikeja as my take off.

Pocco why you no like to drive your 2015 SUV na? Ask aunty radu, to park moto without driving for long time dey knock engine o.

So I got a user beep me up that he wants to buy my V6 Highlander... Called my guy to bring back the ride as he has been sampling it at his shop for sometime now.
He brought it and it was misfiring. Oga buyer said he can't detect if gear is selecting due to jerking. I told him to take 50k off my final asking price and fix the misfiring. He said no that I should go ND fix it. Then he can know if he would buy or not.
So my stressful ordeal started by asking my kazeem to fix the issue... He said it was Fuel pump and Starting coil... Oya buy and put. Las las it was still having little misfiring.

Me :Kazeem I want this engine to be stable, I don't need to be on the defensive side during this negotiation.

Kazeem: Oga, it will clear. Na fuel dey cause am.

Me: Oya buy 3k fuel put am.
The misfiring comes to clearer when AC is on and car is in traffic and kinda 20% on speed).
Took the car home yesterday and was not impressed.

Me:Kazeem am bringing this car back, plz check the plugs you said you changed.
(Took the car to him today)

Kazeem: Oga mi, the plugs dey fire wells.

Me: Wetin cause the misfiring na, abi you talk say na fuel and I don buy enough fuel. Moreover, the fuel gauge stopped working wetin cause am, it was working b4 you changed the pump.

Kazeem: Oga, na electrician go check am.
(I was just tired and I needed to go home and shower then have something to eat. Drove the car few poles from his shop and entered one bad pothole and the engine just went off... Just the normal indicators showing on dashboard. Tried to start car again, no show)

Me: Hello Kazeem, your car just stopped, engine to gree start again.

Kazeem: Oga leave am make e cool small. E go start. I dey come meet you.

Me: I don't understand, is this not a routine for faulty fuel pump? What nonsense is this Kazeem.

Kazeem: Oga I dey come.

(Kazeem Came, tried all the magic in his power, said fuel pump is not pumping again and finally I told him I want to call my brother who sales spare parts at Alaoji)

Kazeem: Oga tell him to bring Belgium V8 pump. I no just trust all these new pumps.
(I just open mouth dey look Kazeem)
Me: Brotherly, abeg you get V8 pump for my ride? Kazeem say na V8 better ooo

Bro: Wetin happen to the one he bin put.
(After narrating to him what happened)

Bro: Tell Kazeem to call electrician to check that car.

Me: Kazeem, plz call your brother to come check the electrical side of this car.

Kazeem brother came finally, did his magic and the car started to work. Was so tired that I just drove my car and stopped at Akwa Ibom woman's place to by Editan soup with fufu. Came back to start the car, put key in ignition, opened the ignition and was hearing some humming sound from the fuel pump chamber. Tried starting the car and hard a cranky sound as it started, then it went off again. Tried it again, same thing, finally on the 3rd try it started. Discovered temperature was high and compressor wasn't coming up again. Got down, check engine room and saw that radiator fan was disconnected.

Kai!!! I feel like killing Kazeem right now.

I am just at home and thinking how to handle Kazeem and him brother

Certain car issues can really make one run made. Sometimes you'll wish its a really bad dream and it will all go away once you wake up. Ditch these kazeems and look for a better repair shop to go. Sometimes googling also helps to narrow down the issue.

northbird:
Seniors, pls ' okota' , is it also like 'festac'

Road and terrain wise.

The major road from okota round about to apple junction is drivable however, quite a number of inner roads is what I can't vouch for, most are terrible. The traffic too sometimes can give brain tumour.

radautoworks:
Thank you.

@aunty radu: I would say 120k

Clitocurrency!!? Hmmm, I wonder if this currency can buy shocks?

mrjaydee:
Poco can come and fill form if she like.

The bargain make sense, Akure is cool but I go enter one pothole. My hub don dey make one funny sound

Take am easy driving in an uncharted territory make car repair no come sink the cash. Go well.

pocohantas:
I don't think we feel it is out of line though, we just do not have the needed car-maintenance- support for it. Not forgetting resale value. We buy cars we can resell at a good price.

By the way, how is the road to Ikotun axis? I'll be needing to go there soon. I don't want anyone to cancel on me or tell me to cancel. Let me just know what I am getting myself into

If you have to go there avoid accessing ikotun through isolo/egbe rd. Depending on where you're coming from, best route will be through idimu--council roundabout--liasu rd. If I may ask, where in ikotun?

mrjaydee:
Abeg make una put me in your prayers, I just pass Ibadan enroute akure.

Was going to ask about you. So you took the request? Pocco go dey somewhere dey shake her head for your almost married wife.

Hope the bargain is good or abi na pity you use enter road?

pocohantas:
Please don't put pressure on us. We are taking our time, to avoid creating thread in Family section

Its called a family tree, nothing to worry about. Your baby is really going to be guided...enough uncles in here.

pocohantas:
I don't care how much, I don't care if she is traveling with Jupiter and Uranus. My own concern is that you wouldn't go.

Don't ask me biko, ask others.

A little foundation and oil.

seyosci:
Thanks for sharing this scenario and yes a valid concern.

The driver doesn't have to "cajole" the rider.

We will direct traffic to the rider to be aware of this.

And honestly, if a rider has a bad day, hopefully scanning a QR Code to get a reward brightens their mood

@the bolded. How do you plan on doing this?

Conner44:
where you?
Hurry
see you
Oya Reverse
enter
park
Cry cry baby

Why the poor guy no go run away

Did you read what he said? Got his biggest tip and the lady linked him up with someone he's been longing to see in a while.

She might not be that bad, probably the guy chickened out.

I thought things like this happened only in the movies. But then again, movies are a % of reality.

dannybrasky:
Another bottle of origin opened! Dru is your driver having a side gig behind your back? How can that be?

He can't drive, so said thevisit.

dru23:
I dont recall drivers delivering 40k at the year u mention it was 35k that I recall and now is 30k. . And u said uber keep crashing their prices and am curious to know which prices they are still crashing.. Plus uber has added incentives ,that has been going on for the six months plus.. And also we had a guy that does it part time and he makes good money doing.. The guy gave a step by step how does uber on his way to his office..
Also I have a driver that drives for me now .. He has driving for me for the past 4 months now .. The driver before him did well and complain the job slavery etc. The new driver has been doing a great job. He does A lot offline trips and he delivers on time.. He seems he knows how to space himself.. We normally do inspection every two weeks on the cars.. But since the drivers are good and they know what they are doing . We no longer do the inspection .... The only time we know the condition of the cars is when it's at the mechanic for one or two repairs.. Than my mechanic gives us a feed back on the car.. So people that are making it ,they are making it .

@the bolded. Just wanted to point that out. Remember how orca wanted to bring this whole place down because someone requested he go offline? Remember how you supported his rants as well? Guess what, that uber driver was actually your driver.

Freshprince91:

Wizzoe360:
I understand that feeling, presently doing self tutor on Java and got stucked at Array. At this point you will have this feeling that maybe you are not just good enough for this. Bro, its part of the process . Check out other materials online

Depending on what works well for you. I'd rather you use books instead of video tutorials at first, because books have a way of working the knowledge slowly into you without being in so much of a hurry.

Video tutorials have a tendency to want to squeeze to much within a short time frame without so much as considering the learner. However, there is one guy on YouTube that seems to be quite good. His name is kudvenkart, I think.

As for Arrays they are quite easy to grasp if you are a bit patient and see it visually in your head when building it.

As for me, my challenge was regular expression.

Elxandre:
I need encouragement.
Stuck on python OOP and got frustrated.
I'm really frustrated. Can't get the hang of it.

You are your own encouragement. What topic exactly are you stuck on?

seyosci:
Apologies for the delay in response.

Drivers benefit from the engagements users have on the QR Code.

For Example - A brand wants to promote their business, they contact us and we deploy their campaign to every QR Code on the system. For each unique scan, a user makes, we pay the driver who owns the QR Code a fee.

Hope this helps.

Thank you

Remind us again how the thing works? Is the driver suppose to cajole the rider to scan this qr code, if so that means the driver is responsible for doing the bulk of the work?

I am just trying to imagine a rider who's day has been pretty rough, and here I am trying to tell them to scan some qr code.

Some drivers here complain that the business is getting tough by the day, considering haven to deal with some unruly riders. bros, this your qr code can make person chop unwarranted slap o!

radautoworks:
Yes, I'm sure this is a necessary trait to be a successful one. All the greats share this trait

But you really need to think outside the box to be successful and not the other way around. But your success came with the latter then you'll be a first.

deedee44:
Motivation is the word bro, and focus as your friend rightly said. I don't see any better motivation than a mission to reunite with your family. I'm happy he made it and wish him best of luck in the next phase of his life's journey

Some people will see it as an excuse to start complaining on how their village people has caught up with them.

This guy played his life like a chess game. He found himself at a tight spot, instead if whining and complaining, he looked for the next best move.

House, please adsmaster has given us an opportunity to change the tone of this forum. Please let's seize it.

@adsmaster this your guy must have been a motivation to you?

adsmaster:
Rental bro...... As a matter of fact he brought me into the game when I was having issues at my place of work and needed a new landing pad before relaunching...

He remits 30k and has always been Consistent,no Saks as a matter of fact he drive on uber platform. His target is 20k, yes 20kper day and he has 95% success rate in achieving that figure every day of the week. He said its mindset when I asked him how he does it, he said once you focus your mind, it becomes easy to hit it, nature will find a way to bring it your way. Please don't take away the fact that he puts in the time, lots of it if need be.

He is leaving for Italy on Saturday. He is going to school.he enrolled for a masters program in Rome business school, so with the one year visa in Italy his wife and kid will come to visit and spend time with him while he works on a strategy to settle down in any parts of Europe.

So it's possible to achieve it, that which you have set for yourself that requires finance from these hustle all you got to do is put in the work

Please its stories like this we should bury our heads in to remind us of where we're heading, and not mindless arguments about CEO' this or CEO' that.

Bros where you dey all this while, you mean to say you have this kind tory, na him you keep am to yourself?

izzou:
You keep arguing back and forth like you're in the game.... Like you were ever in the game. Haba

I don't know your area of expertise, but I wouldn't argue with you when you speak if I have no real life knowledge about it.... But in your case, you keep assuming and assuming. Not fair

I have hung out with drivers countless times at Chevron, VI, Allen, Ikeja GRA and others. I can't count how many times I've slept in a car. Drivers die... Not one, not two, not five sef. I know a driver in a whatsapp group that was killed at Oshodi. We even contributed in the group to assist him wife.

Stop arguing about what you've never experienced. This job is very risky at night. People who drive their cars alone at night are robbed and kidnapped, how much more someone picking up somebody he doesn't know

Bros I beg save your precious energy. You guys should know when to call it quit. You won give brick wall sense?

adsmaster:
I want to share a story about a guy who does uber for a living like us. These guy came into Lagos last year, a pastor and was assigned as my zonal leade and I was to work directly under him.. He needed a place to stay a few weeks later reached out to me and I said sure you can move in with me.. He was struggling for a while, till he completed his DL registration and started these uber hustle. These was last year around August.
These guy has a wife a d daughter who are in the UK, he was there too with them briefly before he was sent back home because of fake papers that one so call agent did for him, he didn't know. He was to stay away for 10yrs before he can re-aply. It's over six years now and the little daughter he left behind in the UK is now over 6years old, when he left they just gave birth to her.

With these hustle he diligently gave his all, I watch him pay half of his school fees for Rome business school(2500€) pay hostel accommodation 550€, pay 250k to a financial or loan shark to lodge 5M in his account for a month, bought plane ticket, all with these uber hustle. It took a year plus to achieve these with these same hustle that people look with disdain.

These job is like a cash cow, that can be fattened(by putting more time, energy, into it) and slaughtered or milked when the time is right.


Now we have folks like izzou and others who are gradually pushing there's. Let's not be discourage brov, no matter the challenge, keep your eyes on the goal.......

That is some guy with a vision! I think what some of us lack here is information. For some, they have the drive and tenacity but without the right information, while some are just content with using uber to put food on the table which really shouldn't be.

donfortune48:
I'll take it to Uber office as forgotten item.

Couldn't muster enough courage to comment on the guys post, cos his action weak me.
