Good one there. Fine she'll give you 1 star but you've saved the next driver from her stupid attitude

nitigriti:
I can't help you if you cannot understand; plus I don't have the time to trade words. Please stop quoting me.

Thank you.

Okay this is the last time I'm quoting you on this issue, and I understand your point but you're the one who doesn't understand my point. Plus I'm not trading words either. Have a nice day

nitigriti:
This is Nigeria, where options are limited and people use that as an excuse to cheat; thinking it is a way to survive.

This is what Ornicus was against. And he is right, I dare say.

Since cheat is what you want to call it, ask your friend if he doesn't cheat too, even you too. Like that ijebu ode that you said you would cancel, if rider now offers to pay you 30k just for you to drop him off, won't you accept?

Lmaoooooooo

Gazzuzz haters won't see this kind gesture

Dru will give us free oil in December

[quote author=dru23 post=83340046][/quote]This is how you respond when you know you're busted

nitigriti:
I don't understand your point. Both of us seem to be flogging a dead horse.

Let's allow the horse rest in peace.

Okay

dru23:
I own the car he was using ...So in that your little toy brain of yours, I was working for him

The rented apartment you're staying, if your landlord decides to stop renting out his apartment to you, would you say your landlord sacked you?

eherbal:
when at his auto shop,I kept trying to se seer if it was not a dream.no catch.no terms. nothing.im grateful,happy and glad.words just don't cut it.

That is the difference between empty barrels and the real big men. One speaks with big loud mouth while the other speaks with action

eherbal:
thanks for asking bro.it remains just one last detail.he insist on repairing everything.EVERYTHING

He's like that . Its either all or nothing.

nitigriti:
Then we should leave their platforms for them.

Or who still uses NITEL today?

This is Nigeria, where options are limited, so we find a way to survive instead of leaving

nitigriti:
Let's not try to be holier than the Pope. In my hey days, I never ask riders for destination unless it is night; say from 8:00pm; because of security.

If during the day I accept a trip and I start the trip and see a destination I don't like, say, Ijebu Ode, I will simply apologize to the rider and tell him or her I can't go. I will tell the rider I am about to cancel the trip so you can request another car and also let the rider know he or she can sit in my car with the AC running until the requested car comes.

In this, I have not cheated the Uber or Bolt platform in any way, which is the point Ornicus was making. We shouldn't cheat the platforms.

So which is better?

Ask for destination and decide what to do on time,

or waste rider's precious time (who's Probably late for a meeting/flight) by first driving down for minutes wasting fuel, then spend several minutes requesting and waiting for another ride (who will probably also cancel and request another like you did), and also making rider go through the stress of getting refunds from uber which may come later than when rider needs it.

peeps4u:
Haba bro. Is he the same person?

I dont know o but since that's how that one too came, besides this person said cars available but sent several pictures of only one car

How much is your background check fee?

nitigriti:
You can't cut Uber or Bolt out of a deal it doesn't have in the first place. Let's say you request an Uber to Enugu. You, I and Uber know Lagos to Enugu trip is not possible on the app. This is an opportunity the platform is bringing for the driver. Rider knows he or she can link up with a driver through the platform. Rider wants to go to Enugu. The platform cannot deliver that service. Rider and driver negotiate a fee. Uber and Bolt tells rider and driver that the trip is at each party's risk despite the platform bringing both parties together. There is nothing fraudulent there.

Rider doesn't know taxi park to go and chatter his car abi? We're just deceiving ourselves. As long as uber is responsible for your meeting, uber must be involved. If you must condemn one crime then condemn all crimes

ndubuis:
Let's just understand one thing. The Uber rule that requires drivers not to ask or reject trips is worldwide, developed countries where things actually work, not naija. If you have ever driven your car across Babs Animashaun, Community Road, off Ago Palace Way, entered a deep pool of water, end up spending hundreds of thousands to fix it, you will understand why you should ask. A request once came my way of a man going to Epe on Uber. So, should I accept it because I want to be a nice guy and drive back empty? Uber does not care about what happens to you or your car, truth be told. So, why do I have to be a slave to the system? I turn down request to places that I deem as dangeous in terms of bad roads and otherwise. I will continue to do so. Accept such trips at your peril. This is Nigeria, not America. What applies there cannot apply here. That professional balderdash cannot and will never apply here with the road, security and economic situation.

I dont know why they fail to see the reality or they just want to be inconsiderate. I once rejected a trip that would give me more lost than gain, rider rudely threatened to report me to uber, I gently told her it is my car and not Uber's. It's like they believe uber bought and maintains the cars for us

medd422:
I don't blame the drivers or the riders. I blame the ehailing companies.

Some few months ago, I drove on uber, picked a rider from general hospital igando to super bus stop. The fair was 1350. Few days after, I rode on gokada bike from d same igando to the same super bus stop, the fair was 1250. So the difference between a four legged air conditioned car to a two legged sun-beating bike is 100naira.

If the pricing was right, no driver will cheat d system. Simple

As for me and my household, I won't go to any outskirt of Lagos on the platform. Offline or I move on, that's how stars do

God bless you plenty plenty

nitigriti:
Trust me sir, Ornicus understands the challenges and I do too, at least I've worn the shoes severally. What he is saying is, no matter how hard the ehailing driving circumstances are, we shouldn't forget a platform links us to the riders and that we owe ourselves a duty to deal honestly with the platform. And if we aren't satisfied with the services the platform offers us, we should revert through official channels. We shouldn't take it as an excuse to undercut the platform.

As if they would listen, some have tried but failed. In Nigeria, it is always all man for himself because no one really cares about anyone without caring about themselves first

nitigriti:
True sir!
Even Uber and Bolt understand drivers will reject a few trips. That's why drivers are only penalized when their rates of rejecting trips goes above a set limit. It's not professional to tell a rider, "I'm not going to your destination because the roads are bad; but I will go if we negotiate the trip offline." It's not professional and it's not right.

My opinion.

It's also not professional to ask a rider for destination, you see?

nitigriti:
I love these questions!

1) I will accept Festac to Agbara online on a dry day so long as I can be back in Lagos (Egbeda) before 4:00pm. If I check Google maps to and fro and I see that I can't make it back before 4:00pm, I will reject and cancel the trip and let the rider know my reason.
As it is raining now, I cannot take the trip from Festac to Agbara.

2) I always did my trips online. If I feel a trip request will not pay me, I reject outright. I never try to convert an online trip to an offline one.

You mean you end the trip after starting? Because that's the only legit way to know your rider's destination, or you would ask rider for destination? Remember that's against Uber's rules and regulations too just like asking for a trip to be done offline. Whichever one it is, you've gone against Uber's directives thereby committing an offense that suits you, so why frown at others for committing an offense that suits them just because its different from yours
The same thing goes for Mr holiness working upstream, everybody is a sinner, but not everybody will commit the same sin as yours so dont criticize. Leave that for he who has no sins

dru23:
For your information whether offline or online a lot of you drivers will still complain and stories.. The drivers that work for me do not pay a kobo for maintenance. One of them started giving stories ,I had to warn and he knows he will not get a better deal anywhere else ..... I could have had close to 20 cars on my fleet.. But am taking my time to make sure I hire good drivers that are willing to work .. They are out there, but person has to be patient and be calm....
Six months ago I got a driver via NL.. I gave the driver the car in excellent condition, I introduce him to my mechanic.. The first day on the Job the driver bash the car and then drop the car at my mechanic.. The fool than called me and ask when the car will be ready.... The damage was over 40k naira.. I sacked him on the spot without saying anything... And few weeks later he came on NL looking for a car .. I just kept quiet and didn't say anything on the forum....
This ehailing business is like a game ,you have to know what you are doing.. Nobody will come and hold your hands in this world.. Only you and yourself can make a change.. Think outside the box to make changes, and don't over do things.. Even if you are giving out cards for offline job, be discreet about it .. Give good customer service.. And know when to offer your service and know when not to .. If your presentation is good ,it is the riders that will use their own mouth to ask for offline services ..
It is a jungle out here ,everyman for himself

So what are you saying, offline is a fraud or not?

ornicus:
i guess i can understand why a lot of companies use aptitude tests. no point in trying to engage people whose thinking is so faulty that they cannot even grasp basic ethics.

a lot of the rubbish i have read here is also a revalidation of the fact that most nigerians are unemployable.

Please stop quoting me

dru23:
You shall live long my brother..... U said it all

If your drivers are not doing offline you think you'll be getting paid every week without stories?
You encouraged someone to print cards to win customers for offline trips and you're here going against offline trips. You are

XGhost:
@ornicus pushing your narrative to most folks on here, right as you are, is like hitting your head against a wall. people confuse being fraudulent with being smart, allow them, one day monkey go go market e no go come back.

So asking to convert unfavorable online trip to favorable offline is a fraud? You need to consult your dictionary for the meaning of fraud again. For instance I get a request to eputu town from lekki phase 1 around 11.30pm, I tell rider I cannot go there at this time because I can never get a return trip unless I go for a particular fare that will compensate for my return trip. Now what would you have me do, leave rider stranded or give rider option to up the fare (cannot be done online ofcourse) and get a ride home. I've said it before, its mumu you people like

Crvrider:
In the joke of things, who condom help? Madam fit do some pounding with that yam and offer am with better vegetable soup for good behaviour.

Madams these days have trust issues, she can also ask him to come and test the condom if its original

dru23:
I just want positive vibes and people that can motivate me only.. Good week or bad week uber is changing lives bro.. Thank God for uber ,I make more money on my uber fleet than selling cars up and down...

Okay

OmoOshodi:
Quick advice ...I rider is about to request me 3rd time for a different trip today ...hope Taxify won't block my account sha!!!

She refused to go on offline......kindly advice ASAP

Why are you ending and restarting the trip, why not let it run till rider is done. Taxify can be funny especially when bonus is ongoing, they will think you're doing it on purpose to complete trips for bonus therefore withhold your bonus and possibly block you

eherbal:
Presently at gazzuzz workshop

Whole exhaust down for replacement

God bless gazzuzz

Eizenburg:
But you can do Egbeda to Ajah online?

Why not? Probability of getting a trip back to egbeda is high. From Ibadan back to Lagos is less than 1%

dru23:
We need more people like you to motivate others.. Good job bro .... Just only part time and you completed 20 trips already.. You made the impossible, possible respect man

When market is not sweet we don't see your comments, you only come when people are having a good day week and start singing praises
