Had same experience this afternoon. Receiver refused to come collect item and na she go pay ọ.
She said I should give to security and send my account number. Las Las na sender did the transfer after I don tell her dey I dey go ọ. Na Indriver trip sha.

Guys, Ajah has been a no go area for hours now.
A car got burnt completely opposite Northwest. Na the cause of the traffic.

Babadee1900:
Few days before Sallah, I did a delivery (diffuser) from Alpha beach road to the last estate on Chevron drive, I asked sender who is paying, she said the receiver.
Got to destination, asked receiver to pay before I hand over the package. Guy said “shey you they whine me ni”... I told him to sort himself out with the sender because I’m not going to drop the package unless I get my money.

The babe later did transferred, meanwhile the guy was already shouting, saying all sorts of words. I remained in my car with doors locked while refreshing my bank app, when I confirmed payment..rolled down the glass and gave him his property before I waka.

toomush:
Nah body dey hear am...I have not really driven this week, body don weak.

No be lie. The kind way my body dey do me nah cos of the traffic on the road these days, no be small thing ọ.

Make I share this experience too. Was at Abraham Adesanya area when a trip request entered this morning. PU about 25 mins. Asked rider to cancel, he refused. He's afraid of cancellation fee. I sha managed to go there since I'm conscious of my cancellation percent. To cut story short, on getting to PU, rider said he changed his mind. That he's not going again. I just weak for body. PU alone is a trip. I sha managed to collect the 300 naira cancellation fee. Just imagine Wetin we dey see for road ọ. And if nay Bolt, nothing sef!

My brother, na the matter I still dey reason Here o. �

toomush:

Any driver to move from spa at Ikeja to Epe with these goods? Contact me on siggy.

Allof them? I m available. When are you planning to move them?

Good day investors. Please anyone here has anything on renmoney? Thinking of doing biz with them.

40 looks good on her.

With all these stories about Onlooker, I think only the gullible ones will still be scammed here. As it is, if you can't get someone to help you verify what you re buying, face the music alone if anything untoward happens.

Escrow or physical sighting of what you wanna buy. Anything out of this, be ready to bear the result alone: good or bad.

Anyone here on Mykab? Uber dey do me strong at the moment. I uploaded a road worthiness that's is not that clear yesterday na so dem didn't allow me to go online again. They said I used fake document. Called the VIO person, they reprinted it and I sent them the new one, still they said I must come and explain I their office. I tire jàre.


Please whon don dey do Mykab here? I have registered with them but no show yet.

chillex8:
You can never know which rider rated you low on uber. I repeat. Never.
Infact, there are weeks on uber your ratings remain same even after completing trips.

You re wrong bro. Kindly watch the rating as they give you stars maybe you will understand what I'm saying. After completing trips and your rate doesn't change, it means the rider didn't rate you. He or she may do so later. But watch it when you end a trip and rwmind the rider to rate you and he or she does so immediately. You will see the difference. Check next time.

But if you insist it is not possible, I rest my case.

eyinola:
how do u get to see when a rider gives u rating?

On Uber you see what rate a rider gives you. In fact, you know who gives what rate at any given time except the person doesn't rate you immediately. All in all, you can monitor your rate easily.

Oga what about your rating? Just wondering if you treat them as you said. The one I still managed to do well yesterday landed me 1 star for not allowing her do shopping inside my car even when trip don end!

Vision2045:
Forget that one o....na who get low esteem them go fit command......u enter me like devil..I treat you like you are in hell fire....u enter me like angel ...I treat you like you are in heaven.......

Mine na Indriver ọ. From Ologolo to magodo. Started past 5 just dey reach. Fare was 4k. After ranting from me, rider added 1k. I just decided to go crash at a friend's place here.

Mine was 4hrs from Ajah bus stop to magodo phase 2.....the fine woman close eyes collect her 100 balance...after she paid for the trip

The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, raised alarm over lethal clauses in Article 8(1) of the commercial loan agreement signed between Nigeria and Export-Import Bank of China which allegedly “wills the sovereignty of Nigeria” in the $400 million loan for the Nigeria National Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Infrastructure Backbone Phase II Project, signed in 2018.

According to the agreement signed by Federal Ministry of Finance (Borrower) on behalf of Nigeria and the Export-Import Bank of China (Lender) on September 5, 2018, Article 8(1) of the agreement, provides that: “The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any immunity on the grounds of sovereign or otherwise for itself or its property in connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to Article 8(5), thereof with the enforcement of any arbitral award pursuant thereto, except for the military assets and diplomatic assets.”

Hon. Ossai Nicholas Ossai, the Chairman of the House Committee on Treaties and Agreements, noticed this during an investigative hearing into some of the agreements signed between Nigeria and China, where the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi responded to various questions on the ongoing modernization of railway projects being implemented by the Federal Ministry of Transport.

Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, however, warned the parliament to suspend the investigation until after the Chinese authorities have signed the $5.3 billion Ibadan-Kano rail line. According to him, China continues to monitor the development from Nigeria and might decide not to sign the agreement if the probe continues.

Hon. Ossai said: “I have also seen from the Ministry of Communications where Nigeria signed off some certain level of its sovereignty if part of the clauses is breached? So, when the National Assembly reacts in this manner, to question some level of agreements being entered into by any ministry of this country with any other nation, we have every right to question that because anything that is going to happen will happen to our generations unborn. Whether we get it from China or not is immaterial."

He continued, “The most important thing is that we must save and protect our people as regard agreements, because most of the agreements that have been signed, the National Assembly has no knowledge (of them). Even the details embedded in those agreements are not forwarded to you when demanding counterpart funding."

“You don’t have the details, clause by clause, in line with the Act that established DMO. We need to know those details even before going to sign such agreements. But those details are not provided to the parliament. So, we have the right to question them,” he added.

The Chairman then summoned the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Usman; Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Ali Isa Pantami and Director-General of Debt Management Office (DMO), Ms. Patience Oniha, to appear before the Committee on August 17, 2020, with all relevant documents on the controversial agreements.

Una don start again. Àwọn waybill geng! If anything happens, kindly keep it to yourself.

Sicilyjoe:
Can u waybill, 20k ?

How much then is the new one? Some peeps sha!

omotolsy:
Selling my Redmi Note 8 Pro.

I can imagine the pain of being scammed. But if you cannot go there to pick up, never send money. Most Nigerians are too dubious.

If you do send money without being sure of who you re dealing with, keep it to yourself please. Never be too quick to send money to strangers. This warning has been sounded here many times. Use escrow. If not possible, buy item close to you. Beware of items too cheap to be true! A guy here has been asking me to send a UPS I offered to sell. But since he is in Ibadan and I'm based I Lag, it has been difficult to transact. Whatever I'm selling, you must come and see it where it is. If you can't, forget about it. Chikena.

You wanna be a victim of fraud too?

Guys see Wetin a guy did in my car this evening. He vomited inside and messed up everywhere. He apparently took too much of free drink and pepper soup at his friend's house. We were on uber trip. What do you suggest? Rider not ready to pay for cleaning. Uber indicated a receipt for such in their app. My car is smelling of alcohol and pepper soup that he vomitted.

He is even saying he didn't have money for the trip.

I have taken the car to car wash. Got receipt and sent details to Uber.

There’s a good a case for Africa’s Okonjo-Iweala to be appointed head of WTO this time around. In its 25-year history, no African has ever headed the WTO. Yet, “Africa represents a key bloc within the WTO.

If the current controversy surrounding the search for a replacement for the outgoing director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the Brazilian Roberto de Azevedo, were not global and intense, it would mean that the position was worth little more than a sinecure.

Appointed in 2013, Mr. de Azevedo has served notice that he will step down this August, a year before his term concludes.

Fidelity Leaderboard
Up came eight candidates from all regions of the world, three of which are Africans: Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; the former Kenyan foreign minister Amina Mohamed, who previously was the chairperson of the WTO General Council; and Abdel-Hamid Mamdouhm, an Egyptian lawyer who also had a stint as a senior WTO official. Because the headship of the WTO is not geographically rotational, no region of the world can claim it is its turn to produce the organisation’s next D-G.

However, there’s a good a case for an African to be appointed this time around. In its 25-year history, no African has ever headed the WTO. Yet, “Africa represents a key bloc within the WTO. It accounts for nearly 27 percent of membership and 35 percent of members from developing countries,” argue Professors Mzukisi Qobo and Mills Soko of the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.

In an article entitled Why one of three African candidates fits the bill as the new head of the WTO, Soko, a Professor of International Business & Strategy at Wits Business School, and Qobo, the Head of Wits School of Governance, strike a mighty blow for Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s candidacy: “In our view, of the three African contenders, none is better qualified than Okonjo-Iweala to lead the WTO in the next phase of its 25-year history, which is poised to be the most fractious and challenging.

“The WTO plays an important confidence-building role in the global economy, and the interests of poor countries will be best served in a stronger multilateral trading system that is responsive to their development concerns.

“The nature of the institution requires a leader with significant political heft and who commands the respect of all member countries, rich and poor…

“Okonjo-Iweala is suitably qualified to serve at the helm of the institution. She is a Harvard-educated political heavy-hitter with the skills and experience to cajole, knock heads together and break logjams. She is regarded as a consensus builder who enjoys the confidence of governments, business and multilateral institutions. As Nigeria’s finance minister, she successfully spearheaded the negotiation of an $18 billion debt write-off for the county with the Paris Club creditor nations.

“Her political acumen and extensive negotiating skills could contribute towards restoring the multilateral trade agenda. This has collapsed amid the Trump administration’s hostility towards multilateralism.

“With her origins from a neutral developing country, she could be the right candidate the embattled WTO needs to broker truce between the US and China and end their trade conflict, which has led to institutional collapse.

“Okonjo-Iweala also boasts a credible tract record of economic reform and political sway. Following a long stint as a senior executive at the World Bank, she twice served as Nigeria’s finance minister between 2003 and 2015. During this period, she took on vested interests and implemented far-reaching reforms. These included overhauling a corrupt fuel-subsidy scheme, cutting delays at the country’s ports, creating an oil fund to stabilise the economy, increasing transparency by publishing the government’s monthly finances, and introducing an electronic tax system that curbed illegal diversion of funds…

“Her global finance expertise, in particular, would serve the WTO well given the nexus between trade and finance in the world economy, accentuated by the current economic crisis. By not being a WTO insider, she would bring a much-needed fresh perspective to the institution.”

It is apposite to state that much of Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala’s assessment across the globe accords with the views of Soko and Qobo. Strikingly, Mr. Patrick Lumumba, the well-known Kenyan lawyer and former managing director of the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission, whose country has a candidate for the WTO job, has singled out Okonjo-Iweala as the most qualified to clinch it.

Again, Forbes, the global media company focusing on business, technology and entrepreneurship, is already quoting with approval Okonjo-Iweala’s view on a way to end the US and China trade conflict that Soko and Qobo mentioned. She has said that “demonstrable effort” by the WTO to address China’s industrial subsidies could prompt the US into a more favourable look at the organisation. It is thought in informed circles that the WTO’s future is tied to US-China relations.

Inside Nigeria, however, there is a twist. An Okonjo-Iweala spokesman has alleged that “powerful and well-connected forces” are sabotaging her chances by peddling lies and linking her with a secessionist tendency. In an article entitled Who Is Afraid of Okonjo-Iweala, Reuben Abati described the saboteurs as “sado-masochists” propelled by impulses that include sadism, the endless search for people to pull down, mental instability, the “Luciferian complex, mischief, ethnic, or religious reasons or plain wickedness.”

Characters of Dr. Abati’s categorisation invariably operate by stealth, a point that places them beneath contempt and wholly deserving of disregard and/or excoriation. However, there is a strident Nigerian voice openly opposed to Okonjo-Iweala landing the WTO job. He is Owei Lakemfa, a known journalist and trade unionist, who has written two articles in quick succession to sell his market, and thereby place himself squarely at an antipodal position with the national predilection on the subject.

It is logical to assume that an argument against Okonjo-Iweala’s candidacy should systematically knock down those premises that are of the Soko-Qobo hue. Did Mr. Lakemfa do this?

His first piece, Swimming Against WTO and Okonjo-Iweala’s Candidacy, rails at the structural liabilities of the Bretton Woods institutions and the WTO vis-a-viz Africa and the rest of the Third World. The title of the second article, The Fruitlessness Of An Okonjo-Iweala Leadership Of WTO, indicates of its thematic thrust.

Can’t be fixed. You have to change the screen and it is over 100k.

In short, if you take it to a Samsung service Centre, you’d be advised to manage the TV cos changing the screen isn’t worth the cost.

Talking from experience...

So some drivers still loan their riders? Una no dey hear word. No matter how nice you re to me, I no dey loan you! Carry your money when leaving home.

chinyce:
This is exactly how the operate. I'm certain it was same people that accustated me and my Riders. Same method, same pattern. Except I loss on both side seriously.

I was at circle mall ShopRite Jakande when a request came in. It was alady on corper uniform and her guy friend. Two respectable looking lovebirds. I drove across the spacious packing lot to their position. They were followed by an attendant of one of the restaurant where they just came out. As they entered the guy whispered to me to lend them N3k so they could settle the attendant. I had no problems to assist them, they look very responsible.

Anyways, the trip startd destination was Novare ShopRite sangotedo. Which sounds corky, from ShopRite to ShopRite, but none of my business. The two sat behind jisting away with no worries. They were secondary school mates getting together after a very long time. The guy stays up north while the lady was serving her father land in Lagos.

We stopped at VGC traffic light just before the light turned green, a man appeared from nowhere and stood in front of my car signalling us to stop. They guided me to pack at the side of the road and they were knocking on the windows for us to open. I looked at my Riders the girl was scared to hell, and guy was just normal, for me, I was confused, I thought they were robbers, but certainly not in the open because people have started gathering.

I rolled down my window, they were busy barking orders for us to open the doors, of which I told my Riders not to, I became confrontational.
"Who are you" I barked back,
"we are men of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC, Have you heard of the EFCC before?"
"Eh" was all I could utter.
"Good, is not you we after, driver. We are after your passenger, please step out of the vehicle and go and enter that car"

The ordered the young guy into another car and one of them joined us in the front seat, he ask me to drive and follow their own corolla. We drove towards Abraham Adesanya round about, turned and started heading back to Ajah. That was when I said no I can't continue with the journey, they rider should settle me and let me find my way. The guy with us called his colleagues and after the talked, the man asked me not to end the trip that the rider will surely pay me, that we are going to EFCC office at Ikoyi. That the guy has refused to cooperate so they're taking him in. I and the corper girl asked him what has the guy done wrong, the man said the guy is a member of a bigger syndicate of yahoo boys and they have complete info on him and a number of his contacts. He's not the only one, they're taking them one by one, he continued to say.

He began to ask the corper girl how she knew him. The girl claimed he was a secondary school mate, they just got together after about 9 years, so she can't really vouch for his activity. The man adviced her keep far away from him. And she was like why, why must she keep away, he is her friend etc me, I just kept driving. We passed VI, climbed the bridge connecting Ikoyi, got to Gerard road made U-turn, got to falomo under bridge round about turned right towards Awolowo rd, then the guy asked me to pack at the first bus stop. The guy was busy on call with his colleagues, after a while they came and took the corper girl leaving me and the EFCC guy in the front seat. We waited for another 10mins, they brought the yahoo guy back to join us in the car. The EFCC guy Infront asked me to drive forward, when we got to the first Traffic light on Awolowo rd he asked me to make a U-turn. We drove towards the falomo under bridge then parked at a busstop a distance to the famolo under bridge. We waited there for good 1 hour, no one spoke. The yahoo guy was at the back , looking behind me at him, he was like he was almost crying.

Then a call came in the EFCC guy asked me to drive forward towards the falomo under bridge round about, we stopped and waited Infront of the filling station by the right, police men on uniform will appear to arrest us for wrong packing because we were actually causing holdup at the back, the effcc guy will wave them away and ask me to park right there and ignore the horns and abuses from other drivers.

After a long wait they came back with the corper girl, as the girl got in, the guy in the front came down and they asked us to go. I drove us back towards Lekki to a new destination Osapa London estate. The corper girl was frightened and the yahoo guy was furious, calling and alerting his crew. Me I was like my money. While he was on call I overheard his crew member telling him that it was the Uber driver that set you up. Once he ended his call, na so this yahoo guy face me. That he had to settle those guys N200,000 cash, that they used the corper girl to go and withdraw the money which explains the waiting period at the busstop.

This yahoo guy insist that I mustn't drop them at his home. So they alighted along the street. I end trip N5100 +N3000=N8100, yahoo guy said he has no money. Those magu boys took it all and he began to promise that he will surely pay me. He asked that I promise not to harass his corper girlfriend since she was the one that requested me. I and the guy we still chat and talk, but about other things, he said he never hammer.

I simply told him to change his lifestyle. I wonder if he was hushpuppi crew.
