Was listening to Jimi Disu one morning like that when this hyper religious fellow entered my car. Dude requested I play him a worship song or I should turn off the radio if I no get any worship song. He also emphasized that it has to be worship song and not even praises.
Since na long trip, I just give am one excuse, continue with Disu. Dude just dey murmur

I love riders that come with their earpiece, they don't care about what you're listening to. They just plug in their earpiece and listen to their own thing. My best kind of riders

I really don't know. Do you know?
I think taxiappguy and carshopper worked with such companies. They should be able to enlighten us

I don't, but it will have to boil down to not getting adverts from companies. So to take a step further, one will have to devise a way to lure companies in

peeps4u:
Actually, their motive is to see how to drive the use of their wallet such that it will become a traditional means of transaction for people. That's why they are coming with many services.

I must say, I prefer making payments using their wallet. Apart from the discounts, it's very convenient, straightforward and fast

izzou:
I'm sure they did all these, but I think the issue boils down to getting drivers to install the screens, how much are you willing to pay, and most importantly, getting the clients to advertise

Those three, to me are huge barriers

This is my suggestion. To succeed where they failed, one will have to start with promo advert (like 2-3 months) for the potential clients and also tip drivers so as many as possible drivers will have the screens in their cars. Once these companies notice that they get more customers from the adverts, after the promo they will be willing to subscribe. In short, one will have to pump in money... like opay

I believe Ocar is trying to sabotage other platform's app... I don't trust these Chinese people, they can go any length to control the market.

I don't really Kia, as long as I'm making money

I wish I could get the girl that scammed me of #1100 from Ajao Estate to Ikeja

I go just blow go TMB, stop for Unilag waterfront, and drag her out of my car.

She can either choose to trek to IyanaOworo or Adekunle

Did you say girl? Before you move 100m another car will pick her up
They will even overtake you

Epphy:
Yea @ tojahh & Tyche

I just remembered an idea that came to my mind recently. Although some companies tried it in the past. It is about bringing marketing into ehailing cabs. Having screens to market products plus entertainment in Uber/Bolt/OCar rides. 'Our company' will be acting like a marketing/advertising agency. Modalities can be worked out if the idea resonates with what we want.

Why did they fail? That will be a good start

pocohantas:
Then unhook the bra. Some of you can do that with just a finger in record time, even without looking. but to locate Deuteronomy- you will use 1hr.

Deuteronomy is inbetween Genesis and Revelations na, what's difficult there

izzou:
Na one person enter car first, say make I wait for someone

Before I know, 3 men Don jump inside. I no know whether make I decline trip immediately

But I dey fear say them fit strangle me, so I just begin drive without complain

God dey save us wey dey drive for night

Driving without complaining doesn't change their mind if their intention was to strangle you. If you feel unsafe you could simply turn off ignition, remove your key and step out of the car. Keep a distance and ask them to come down. Prepare to run fast just in case

kodred:
If the trip fails, use the estimate from the rider’s app and do + or - depending on the traffic conditions.

Then do a review. Deliberately not reviewing and collecting the estimate from the rider’s app is cheating.

People don’t see it as cheating though. They see it as ‘God catch you’ because you lots are too vindictive.

Bros, just mind your business you hear

izzou:
I have never experienced this stones stuff since I've been eating local rice oh

People have been complaining, but I'm yet to experience it

The only difference I noticed about the rice is the grains are shorter(abi smaller) than the foreign types.

Have you been the one preparing it?
The person preparing must have been doing an excellent job separating the stones from the rice

Lazy driver's everywhere there is one woman that sell garri around dia, once I nack d garri for hot sun, the next tin is to position sleep.

I have an offline contact at Ibadan close, that's how I discovered the place. You must sleep if you park there, so cool and quiet

baxton25:
Guys please, stop driving to terrible places at night, especially if your rider is a male client..... my friend was shot early Saturday morning, and he died at the spot, I’m in tears... he was a promising young man....

RIP Wisdom

pope191:
My Oga I somewot agree with u, but we still can't take position away from Both. I have a place I like ard opebi because dia is a tree I use as shade, but deep within I know I am doing myself, because I'll sleep well and tired of sleeping, unless I'm lucky enough to get trip on time. Position is when u find urself ard Awolowo rd ard 4/6pm, if u don't get trip during dis hours, just go back to village, gather all d elders and ask dem questions.

Afolabi awosanya off agbaoku?

kodred:
So because they fall short, we should go down to their level? No bro. You have to be firm.

You can't go straight if the road bends otherwise you'll hear gboassss!!!

Foxie:
Christmas Bonanza!!!

In the spirit of Christmas, I'll be doing comprehensive insurance @ 1.5% of car value with a well-known insurance company.

This will be for a limited period. It starts from December 21st. Contact me for more details. 0708-884-6626. For Vehicles in Lagos only.

N.B: You know if you're driving without your vehicle comprehensively insured, you're doing yourself a lot of disservice, especially in a place like Lagos.

Why are you hiding the name of the well-known insurance company? The name alone can further boost people's interest in your offer

InfinityEstates:
Please elders in the house, where can one 'position' on the Island to get clients? I don dey burn fuel since morning, nothing yet.

Today is Saturday, people will take time before going to owambe and market

Characteristics of a uber driver
Earphone
Phone holder
Corolla, Camry, Honda etc
Add urs

Looking like a driver

izzou:
God bless the pope

I remember when I said I don't use phone holders. Some said it was pride, but I had a feeling then that uber work go soon turn goldmine

As you get familiar with routes, don't hang phones. When you start a trip, scroll through the map to know the suggested route, and keep your phone. If anyone stops you, tell them that you aren't an uber driver. Simple.

Na corolla people dey at risk sha. Every corolla is a potential suspect

I saw them at eko hotel roundabout yesterday, my rider sat beside me so they were confused. The guy was looking at me I no even shake. Sometimes they read your face if they notice fear they will stop you. They ended up stopping the car behind the one beside me

IamRx:
Make una help me look into my condition and advice ma na

Apply for a month leave, do uber for a month. You'll get all the answers you need

nitigriti:
It is possible. Please give me a day or two to arrange something. I will let everyone know about the arrangements. And it won't cost anything too.

Space still dey? I want to upgrade too. Thanks

Gentlelife50:
I can't wait for Opay to launch O'air so that I can finally fly to Canada with #1,280.

Wait for Ovisa first

tojahh:
They arrived but not with branded cars... So we are good to go.

What's their package like? If it's HP and reasonable like the bike deals let me drop my car and hustle for one

tojahh:
Winter is on the HP Guys... But an insider told me they aren't coming with their own cars because NURTW stick a ban on them to remain with Bikes and Marwa. But we are watching keenly.

Another insider told me they're coming with their branded cars. Anyhow we will still survive this. Survival is our hobby

Freshprince91:
I experienced such this morning, had to wait for 30 minutes after 2 restart .
Bro, what can i do in a situation whereby i took a rider somewhere and he's in a hurry for a meeting (Visa interview) and at the end of the trip, the fare reads 2800 on a 2hours journey (23.8km)?
He obviously can't wait for a review, so he paid 2800 , if I were in such situation, i wouldn't jeopardize my chances of getting a visa out of this shithole country but my mind tells me the fare should be 3k because of the previous trips with sane distance and time.
Or is the fare correct? Maryland -Walter Carrington.

Sadly, that's the correct fare sir

Cooladex:
Who else experienced this evil traffic around airport today?
I spent 4 hours from lekki to MMA2, fare read 5,700 rider gave me 8k. (200 mints)
Immediately I got a divine trip of 2.0 surge to my area (ilupeju).
Tomorrow is another day

I spent 2hrs+ from akowonjo to ikeja. Map incorrectly gave ETA as 28mins. Sometimes I just wish this Google map was a man so I could give him a knock on his head

Chuwaa:
I guess that's the tyres it came with.
We changed ours to R16 225

225? I'll love to see how it looks on your car maybe I'll upgrade further too.

ebiye55:
Hi guys, please I need tips on how to increase ground clearance of my 03 camry. It's very close to the ground.

Any tips on tyre size to increase height? Any dangers?

Change your rims from 15 to 16, tyres to 215/65. I'm enjoying my camry that way

radautoworks:
