Please guys who has ever taken trips to Monkey village around Agboju before? Where is it? I can't locate on the map?
What's the terrain like?

Cc: Felicity0001 izzou

So that means they stopped you for the front windows?

Crvrider:
Yep, that's correct! That's why I had to remove the front windows which are not factory.

I think AIG said no issuance of tint permit for now. And that factory tint should be exempted. Read this https://www.nairaland.com/6650000/permit-ban-cars-factory-fitted-tinted#103688971

Felicity0001:
What are they saying... Try negotiate with them don't try to be in a hurry just relax your mind in fact leave them go find somewhere chop food then come back and talk with them... The last and only time I was stopped by a DSP at okota junction it's 10k I gave them after it was satisfied the tint permit was actually fake. I'd to remove it the next day without even informing my partner. Yes! Na me dey drive d car and sufferingnit as well.

So have they satisfied your tint is fake? How was it done? If you too know it's fake then you've no other option but to beg them and negotiate a price.

Mind you all old tint b4 the IGP place a ban on tint are still valid provided its authentic with medical report so no new issuance for new tint that are not factory fitted. Those cars that came factory fitted after the ban are given 14days ultimatum to get a tinted permit for the factory glass but that tint permit issued only covers the factory, meaning no doctor's report is needed so can't go ahead to put the lynon tint in the front glasses.

Know these things so nobody will use you chop ignorantly.

BTW, they have no reason to disturb follow come tint. I guess the back is tinted in Nigeria?

Crvrider:
The back windows are. Have had personally remove the ones in front.

Thanks for your concern. I don solve the issue.

Try Piggyvest

bjtinz:
Have been debited, but nonsense as far as am concerned. From my calculations I got about 7% for 365. So pissed off.

I will be shelving TBs for now.

They should focus more on those almajiris children on the Lekki Epe Expressway. They should be removed from the road ASAP.

Broadstreet close to freedom park

Crvrider:
Good morning comrades. Please anyone with police connect, I've been held up at onireke police station at ojo for tinted permit issues.

Thanks.

No way

Riders like her will drag your rating back, but trust me. So to avoid such, Na to ask them to come down.

BAZ001:
Pls how do you guys do this ?
Send people out of your car, once you seated I can’t or don’t know how to tell an adult get down from my car.

Yesterday I was abused by one yellow owambe sisi eko, I sensed it from phone conversation but it was 1.8 surge and couldn’t resist the temptation.
Rider: where are you ? (No greeting)
Me: I’m at (she cuts)
Rider: you say you arrived but not here
Me: I’m at Campbell street st nicholas (raising my voice too )
Rider: No ooh, not St Nicholas. I’m at cambell event hall, ask people around pls.
Me: (dis na troublemaker) just cancel
Rider: (called again ) come to 3rd floor
Got to third floor car pack, she kept calling all this while but didn’t pick.
Me: (picked ) I’m in 3rd floor
Rider: shouted I said 4 not 3rd, 4th floor, 4 ooh
Me: ( my spirit telling me to jappa and cancel, but surge won’t allow me listen )
Picked her...
Rider: wear your mask oooh
Me: (looked at her so she would see my mask is on)
Rider: be fast ohh ( then she started spraying disinfectant in the car speaking both English and Yoruba, wanted to ask what she was spraying and without permission)
Me: ( just dumb and numb, who sent me)
We made several stops but I just held me cool.
We stopped to tie gele, stopped to withdraw money. In all the stops, she was commanding me with attitude as if I was her driver and she owns me and the car.
I was sure of giving her 1star cause I don’t want to ever meet her again but mistakenly or unconsciously I gave her 5star, pained me.

But how do you look at an adult and say pls come down from my car ?
I could have parked and say pls I no go again, but don’t think I have it in me right now.

Seen. Tnx

Pearl1910:
Lolz...Where do u think the bonus came from?

Note that only my first 5 trips were charged 20 %

donfortune48:
They didn't touch your tip and bonus.

You made 30.2k gross.
The tip and the campaign bonus made it 31k+

Check the image below.
What they charged you as commission is just 20% of the 30.2k gross.
They didn't touch your tip.

There you have it.

Pearl1910:
Just do the calculation.
Or post the earnings for that day let's look at it together

Yeah sure.

I ve even managed to cover it with celotape to avoid water spoiling the bulbs. I hope VIO and road safety guys no dey disturb for things like this.
Thanks for the concern.

pope191:
Boss u have solution to ur problem at least, think of someone that doesn't have such solution to his or her problems, you will b grateful is not more than that. Cheer up my oga

Where do I get the tokunbo please? Wish I can fix it today

Pearl1910:
Sorry brov...It can be fixed. But will u like d outcome? Good tokunbo na around 15k

Bro I tire o. The idiot refused to wait for traffic light. I didn't even see him at all. Before I parked to check, he has zoomed off. Kinda downcast now

pope191:
I was about asking how this people sleep at night a day before yesterday. I don't think an average dispatch rider go a day without denting someone's car. They now have this habit of not stopping, look the dent and just zoom off and it's crazy how they gather once one of them have score to settle.

I dont think so bro.

Pearl1910:
Commission is only calculated on trip fare. If u do the calculation for gross and net for that day that day, u will see ur tip is extra income which reflects in your Net.

An okada guy caused me this just now and ran away. Abeg can it be fixed? Or what's the cost of replacement for used one.

No be lie. Some drivers are the ones making these riders think sey dem get power.

One rider booked me this evening. Getting to PU, I tired calling her but number not available. Meanwhile she was outside looking at my car. There were many of them there. I used inapp call too, no response. Mins later she came close to my car and started abusing me for not calling her.
I tried to maintain my cool. Showed her the no of times I've tried calling her. I asked why she too didn't call. She began schooling me on why only drivers MUST call. I jejely asked her to get out my car. The thing pain her o. But I no care. Twas even an opportunity for me to go eat.
We should stop taking shits from these riders guys.

Ghost1994:
As seen on group

Na so I se am o

Springboot:
Bolt takes commission on drivers tips? They must be criminals.

I have noticed that anytime I get tips on card trips, bolt usually adds it to my money and takes commission from it. Guys is this alright?

Truth is most girls of nowadays see themselves as sex objects. Is so sickening!

I'm with you on this.

CheerfulGiver:
I've said here before that only ignorant drivers sleep on the streets. And yes, any street uber drivers sleep in they mess it up.

Next will be alternative route chevron and Shoprite axis, jakande.

How will full grown men congregate, brush teeth, bathe on the streets and parade in their dirty boxers early in the morning and expect residents to be cool with it?

I hope you've learned your lesson. Always go home at night.

Update

davit:
Thanks. The trip is actually on offline. So not bothered about Uche . I if the 500 Naira is for 1hr I can then go there once it is 6.40. Landing time is 7.20.

Who has he DEFORMED? slowpoke!

OwenJesse27:

What an interesting time to be alive!

No surge, but no bonus too Everywhere dey mad.

samobaba4u:
No more surge, no time to read or reply all posts. To net 900k, someone need time online not on nairaland. Abeg make ago on Mai app money must be made

Felicity0001:
I really don't know as I've only pickup at MMA2 once since the pay lot was introduced and i made it clear to Uche and his team I won't pickup again till they add the pay lot fee to ride fares... But someone I think cheerfulgiver posted a screen short 2weeks after my experience of the fee being added to the ride fare (don't trust any of that guy's post though), so I haven't been there for some time now. But what I know is you must not stay more than 15min after making payment, as for waiting for very some minutes/hours, that I don't know.

My advice is just drive down to Bensam which is behind Concord or mafoluku or better still drive into Sam Ethnan Barrack, tell the securities you're going for pickup and wait for your rider, the moment you get a call from h/h it will take you less than 3mins to get there if no traffic, drive into the pay lot, pick them up, pay and drive out.

Good luck.

Ok. Thanks

ReadaDream:
Think it’s #500 for the first hour, extra #100 every additional hour spent

Abeg people wey don use local airport car park, what's the fare? And if I stay for more than 1 hr how much is added? I get offline pick up this evening to VI. Already charged 8k for everything. So need to know what's at stake. Thanks. Cc: Felicity0001

Wish I could give you 1000 likes for this. Very succinct!

Felicity0001:
Well, its a good thing you're already thinking and mapping out plans on what to do with your life after graduation and its also applauding you're already an undergraduate enterprenuer, i must say I fancy your courage, enthusiasm and mentality especially in this country Nigeria where there're limited opportunities.

To be honest it not easy getting a job after school even if you're lucky to have one most of them the pay is nothing to write home about, parents are dying in silent after spending their youthful life and money training their children only for them to graduate without a reasonable job... It very sad. Many graduates and undergraduates because of that have resorted to go into internet scam and other unthinkingable and unimaginable crimes like kidnapping, car hijacking among others. A few that were lucky get laid off may be after a few months due to bad government policies, contract jobs, companies folding up and the likes. This and Many more reasons are why most of us are found doing the uber driving job not that we enjoy it, no! But we have to make ends meet and then hope that things gets better with the state of the country for our children growing up even if not for us again because our own parents didn't suffer all of these we are currently being faced.

Yes of a truth you'll make money driving with uber/bolt but another truth is you'll have to put in several hours of your time driving morning till mid night, 5-6days and most time 7days a week. You'll be expose to both good and toxic humans, many will be ungodly while few will be pleasant, among all of these things you'll try to be calm for the sake of your account getting blocked because you wouldn't want to loose your source of earning. Even with the hundreds of thousands you pay as commission to uber/bolt you're still at their mercy because they have thousands of drivers paying even higher commission than you to them. You'll loose interest trying to apply for jobs because you'll have the thinking, how much can an employer pay you? After all I'm grossing 980k monthly driving. You'll loose weight, you won't have time to hang out with friends and family neither would you want to go on holidays because the surge are tempting so you want to be online at all time. You'll start having sight problem after some time because of flashes of light and your eyes being focus all the time...you'll start feeling your legs shake while walking or sitting down due to long hours driving, some will start having pot belle due to late night eat so constipation is inevitable, many will develope hemorrhoid popularly known as pile, late night eating, indigestion and long hours sitting down to drive can cause this this problem... The unfortunate drivers get robbed, get involve in an accident some their cars taken away and sadly a few once lost their lives to either sickness, accident or to car hijackers, never to be found again unless with God's intervention. Yes something must kill a man but people die in their sleep in their old age so why would a man die while on duty or to diagnosed sickness? Sad!

So my dear friend(s)[newbies] these are most of the truths celebrity driver aka cheerfulgiver and many others with little or no knowledge about the hustle won't tell you, know it now b4 making that decision to join the hustle.

Me i go speak my mind, I stand with and not just by the truth. I will die for it! I've lost a lot for this same truth oh but I've gain more than I've lost.

So like I initially advised "the bolt/uber shop is another man's idea" you are already an entrepreneur so think something bigger so you can stand among CEOs and not among celebrity drivers with unrealistic dashboards.

A word is enough for the wise.

Reason a country like Indonesia will disrespect our diplomat. Sebi Na so our force people dey Bleep us here.

pleasureosondu:
Actually, she disrespected you. And you opted for your dignity rather than the money involved. A great lesson for all drivers. It's not always about the money. If drivers don't show some form of dignity to this job, don't expect your rider to respect you. Hopefully next time, she'll be much courteous..
