/Means "or" but okay

Still, "partner" would have been sufficient.

radautoworks:
How are people not seeing the bolded??

This is how https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe

It was clearly seen. Partner was all that he needed to drive his point home.

pocohantas:
I think you should gather your colleagues into a town hall and ask them this question. Thank you

Sarcasm. What's your motivation, bae?

pocohantas:
I would never understand why some of you are overly sensitive and quick to play victim. Thinking everyone is trying to put you down. So, one needs to drive on UBER to relate to all your actions or disagree with them? Smh!!!



But they are not from the street or I like to think they are a special class of "street".

Maybe you do. The person wearing the shoe knows where it really hurts.

radautoworks:
Stop viewing everything from a "you women" standpoint and we will.

Let me ask, if it had been a male passenger who texted that, what would the return insult have been?

Gigolo, I suppose!?

radautoworks:
Yes oh. My idiotmeter got overloaded

Aunty radu you seem to be all over the place today. Hope you are not using company time sha o, cos that would be unprofessional?

thelastorca:
Gazzuz and Rd autoworks own their platforms.

If I am self employed, I can choose to reject jobs. However as an employee/partner I may not have that leverage, depending on the terms of my employment/ agreement.

And did uber tell you that a partner is an employee?

pocohantas:
Lol. Yes it is. I will be really surprised if a prostitute takes offence for being called just what she is - A PROSTITUTE. Especially when she is on the job and we are all sure she is one

Client: I would love to do it through your a-s-s to night
Prostitute: there's no way I am letting you into me through there.

Client: wetin? No be PROSTITUTE you be?

Context is everything. I am sure if he had his head buried in between a ladies boobs, while his head is being rubbed at the same time he was called a taxi driver, he probably would have laughed his heart out.

She did wrong. Let's call it what it is. If she needed a ride so badly she could have as well coaxed the guy.

kodred:
Well ultimately, that’s what it will come to.

You say you’re trying to cater to the demographics that can’t afford your services as at now by ‘rigging’ and dealing in tokunbo parts.

Those parts (inferior and tokunbo) fail like kilode.

Like it was noted, the upper middle class is growing and people are beginning to appreciate value in these parts.

@45k salary? A bag of rice is 26kplus. I am not sure you realize that there's no such thing as middle class in this country. Its simply the rich and the poor.

radautoworks:
I'm more informed...

..that I pay my people to much

Just joking. My people deserve all they get and more... Most of the time.

It makes sense why people resort to some of the things they do. But it doesn't change that sometimes it's penny wise, pound foolish. One has to think of ways to cater to that demographic. If it means in the future having a budget brand separate from our main brands that strictly deals in "rigging" and tokunbo parts to keep you going with full disclosure, that may be an option but one would have to do research to see if it is worth the potential problems. Yes, we know how to rig but don't.

At one point, EgunMogaji2 was talking about potentially opening an American style junk yard. If something like that was available, that demographic would be a lot easier to serve.

This I think we really need in naija.

nitigriti:
I will call the Police. Whatever they will do, let them do.

Mixed blessings. Don't know how else to put it. I wouldn't ordinarily open a briefcase I see on the road, could be a bomb.

calabardick:
Hahahahahaha
One almost slap me last night, thank God it was a card trip. Before she say JACK, I've already ended the trip.
She asked me to wait for her maid to join me and dump some trash at the estate gate.

Karashikas, God pass them.

Lighting oven is part of the job, but choose your ovens wisely. Some of them may just be frustrated due to kongile or just heart broken. If you can try hitting their g-s-p-o-t, oh sorry, soft spot they will succumb. Take this as advice from a brother to another.

GAZZUZZ:
All pointless to prove a point to just one person . What will you do do the remaining 99,999 ill mannered riders out there? Best to focus on your work and keep calm.

She'll spread the news, however she's [.1%]. The lastorca is also reading who happens to be a rider [.2%]. You also use uber [.3%]. Anonymous riders in here[.4%]. So 99.966% and still counting.

Gentlelife50:
Hmmmm, the thread is now for CEO's

Still on point bro. Aren't you a CEO of your own cab company!?

confusedworld17:
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.

Dude, I think you made me crack something.

Luxurydriverng:
The kin mosquito that bite me the last time I slept inside car for lekki, I give my self brain buy car mosquito net incase the need to sleep street come up again (which can be inevitable sometimes)

Like if you have had similar experience, share if you have never slept on the street in the course of this hustle

God bless una hustle o. But how do you guys manage to sleep inside car, don't you guys consider the risk?

calabardick:
They should better read and learn, in as much as I don't trouble you, you've no right to trouble me, if you try it na 3MB I'll end your trip, treat your fvckup and kick you out of my car. Uber have authorise us to abort any idiotic trip.

I see one lowlife punk downgrading drivers because he feels he's working with a heavenly downstream or whatever.
I personally work with an upstream - E & P (Automation Engineer, studied and certified in Brazil ), works offshore (2 weeks in/out). I resigned from a reputable military service to further my studies. Instead of staying idle I decide to romance uber, it's fun and stressful out there, it resets my brain as well.

Driving with uber have expose me to both angels and demons, it really shaped my life in so many ways, I've learned a lot.

Drivers deserves to be respected, it's not easy.

On Friday I picked one nasty lady that was insulting and commanding me to drive like James Bond, I ignored her and she tapped my shoulder from behind and said "mr. Man I'm talking to you", I didn't say anything and she began ranting, I ignored her. According to airtel THAT THING DEY PAIN.

When we get to Blenco she mannerlessly asked me to stop for her to shop, and I did.
She get inside, I followed her, we shopped at the end of the shopping I purposely stood behind her, my items were 10x more than what she picked and she asked me who I am, I humbly showed her my IDs when we entered the car, that's when sudden humility overshadowed her she now switched to the front seat, I ended the trip there, gave her a free ride to gulf at lakowe, without collecting a kobo from her for the entire ride.
When she asked me why I offer her a free ride, I told her UBER DRIVERS AREN'T POOR.

She called around 11pm, I didn't pick her call, she dropped a message [just checking on you]

I use iPad for uber, fuuuck CEOs

You should turn this into a book. I read it twice!!!!

GAZZUZZ:
pointless, the man was clearly intoxicated. All you had to do was be nice and leave. Hope you will not be begging last last when the charges are read .

Self defense.

calabardick:
One drunk punk (with a bottle of Sprite mixed with some substance) took me from one estate off admiralty (NITEL) to abijo back to estate, at the end of the trip after delaying me with some oloshos he came and drop 1k, asked me to call him later for the balance. The bastard claimed he's davido's boy. Police (FSARS) even block us at jakande because of how he was doing with the oloshos inside the car.

When I told him I will not call him that he'll pay in his next trip, the guy come para, get liver come push me as I was peeing for gutter, tell me say if I no commot for area him dog go eat my carcass. After peeing about to enter my car he held my shirt and asked me to repeat what I said and I told him that Uber will pay me for the trip, while he refund Uber when paying for his next trip.

the bastard slap my back, I ask both Angel and demon for strength, as he was holding my shirt pushing me, with all my strength I gave him uppercut, the guy sumersulted and enter the gutter, the oloshos shouted in an unknown language, I zoom off, report to uber and they pay me with interest.

The most annoying thing is that he wasn't the one that booked the trip, the person that booked the trip switched off his phone when I tried reaching him.

This work needs some kinda madness!

Jeez, the CEO' are reading this na.

blissbliss:
You’re a joy to read lacorsa / nitigriti. Radautoworks, you’d agree with me that the word CEO has really been abused.

When you see intelligent arguments, you’d know one. My advice is throw aside sentiments and get better in your thought process. Uber isn’t the end but just a means to an end for a lot of people.

I wouldn’t say beyond that.

Remind us again. Bros, who is lacorsa

mrjaydee:
Bro, I don't think it's my job to tell the rider, except in cases where the other driver showed emphaty to the ride. I'm here to make money and not run a charity. If I carry you with surge of 6.5x best believe I go collect my money complete when we reach your destination.

Noted. Thanks for clarifying.

northbird:
I HV had mine fixed before, though a Nissan. N not SUV. The water pump is located behind the pulley on the right side of the engine block.

So he removes the front right tyre, removes the pulley, n fix.

I used a kazeem, then maybe 2 or 2.5k service fee , but it depends on ur mech.
My mech charges fairly.

Thanks. Appreciate.

mrjaydee:
You did well, atleast you showed empathy. Good job bro!

P.S you see those slay mamas and Yahoo ($200 iTunes boys) don't inform then till you are like midway to the journey. Heck, it's not even your job to inform them. Just follow your guts

Tongue in cheek. But is it professional to inform riders that they are in a surge trip?

thelastorca:
is that what you took from what i wrote?

where did i write only foolish ceos use uber?

this is why i said this thread is an insight into thinking processes.

oya, i am ceo of my own company too and i am riding uber . so my last 10 drivers have also carried ceo.

someone was talking about how a ceo was riding in his vehicle and making calls. you think a ceo of a big bank will enter into an unsecured vehicle and start making calls for a stranger to listen in on?so that next thing you will hear on social media how bank so and so is taking over this company?

you don't understand that CEOs are also assets?

you remind me of one day when a bus conductor was saying - the same singlet i wear is the singlet fashola wears. we are all the same. thats the reasoning you are bringing to this argument.

if you actually think that a company that pays a person in hundreds of millions, has security dedicated to him 24/7, depends n him to direct to fortunes of the company will allow him to risk himself/herself, the company's operations and plans, for a ride in an unsecured platform then continue to wallow in your ignorance of i carried the ceo of a lower tier company. if it makes you feel better, so be it.

uber is of no benefit whatsoever to a high networt individual with driver, spy, police pilot vehicle.

This dude. So you can't think of any scenario where a CEO will request a ride on uber/bolt?

Get creative, bro. I told you earlier, you think with one side of your brain and by now it should be hurting. My sincere apologies if you see this an insult.

Any number if issues could happen that could warrant him to ride on uber. Even if that reason was to help someone. The universe writes it's script differently bro. The universe is creative. The universe is complex, yet simple.

The problem I have with you is you use long epistle to explain simple things.

Who is a CEO if the universe has created his/her fate to meet with someone in an unusual circumstance?

Greeting Uber/Bolt Partners

My name is Seyi from Znap. we provide QR Code as a Service.

We operate a QR Code Manager solution called ZnapQR. With Znap, you can create, track and manage QR Code Campaigns for brands.

I have a proposal for the house which can drive additional revenue. It is a QR-Based in-Car Advertising Service.

How it Works
1. We will generate a customized QR Code Sticker for each Driver
2. Each Driver will stick it in a strategic area in their vehicle to catch the attention of Riders
3. For each unique engagement with the QR Code Sticker, we will pay the rider a fee.


How to Apply
1. Registrations is FREE, No fees
2. Riders don't need to pay for the QR Sticker, Znap will cover the bill for it.

Please let me know if you have any questions or email support@justznap.com.

Thank you

I am sure I read this thing clearly. The rider!? What about the driver?

Gentlelife50:
Meanwhile this neighbor wants me to drop his family at badagry on Friday then come back on Sunday to take them back.
From Shangotedo to badagry.
I told him 40k, he shouted. I told him the road is very good.
Asked him if he have been there recently he said yes that he was there yesterday with his car that he doesn't want to go with his car, for my mind na my own car good to suffer.
If any driver is interested he wants to pay 20k, let me link u

Isz a simpu sturv. Tell him you can drive his car with lesser charges.

Gentlelife50:
Ill informed drivers do, one came to group one day to narrate how a female rider took his car key to a meeting because she left her bag inside his car and because she didn't trust the driver she had to go with the key.
The driver became worried because the lady was taken time. Chaii, e just be like make I slap am

Tomorrow when another driver refuses she will say, "but other drivers use to do it".

metrecube:
The first rider is right. You are not meant to collect the toll you didn't pay for.
I'm happy you didn't disappoint me with the second rider. No to condom purchase when you are not the guy using it with her. No to yam purchase when you have two maids. No to food purchase when you won't even taste the food.

Yes to lighting of oven!!! Uber drivers have been called to do all sorts. Even some have been called to do "how do I look". @pope, you prolly need a stargazer to look into your past life. Cos I am suspecting some past life activities wey no pure.

Eizenburg:
Unfortunately, drivers don’t understand how much power they have. I don’t think 3 to 5 days of not driving would kill any driver, but 3 to 5 days of zero income and Uber would be forced to acquiesce to drivers’ requests.

My brother I tire for the matter.

Sometime last week I complained about a whining noise that I thought was my power steering pump; turned out it was my water pump! So I got another one for N5000. To say the least, my mechanic told me N10,000. Jeez!

Has anyone got to fix a water pump before? What is the average labour cost for this type of fix?

brogxy:
From nitigriti's point of cancellation. Once I get to pick up and see a riders comes out of another Uber car, first is to ask for the destination before the person even settles down. The driver must have rejected the trip for a reason.

Imagine if more than five drivers where to cancel, the guy go blow ac tire onto being professional. This people just throw discretion out of the window.

nitigriti:
No, Izzou. The driver should not damage his car because of the customer.

He should take his car off the platform — Uber or Taxify; since he is not okay with the services the platform is providing for him.

So long as he keeps his car on the platform, he is obligated to provide service according to the terms and conditions of the platform.

#StrictlyBusiness #NoSentiments

People are just so quick to talk about taking ones car off the platform. Do you guys think uber will succeed without the drivers? Jeez.
