Felicity001:
Bros abeg make una end this whole lecture jor. We don hear una partnership, dress code, English or vocals all of una make sense biko it’s do.

calabardick:
Great lesson from both of you, how I wish we can learn from theses.

johnwell:
You are right sir,
There's one that took my boss wife from international airport to Lekki, the guy clean up (nice face cap, white shirt, blue jean and a good canvas).
the woman was boiling because my boss kept her waiting for long (more than 3 hours) before I get there. The woman poured all her anger on the guy, I was just watching them, the slightest thing the woman will yell at the young man and all the guy will say is I'M SORRY MA. Me I was tired because from airport to Lekki was abuse upon abuse.

When we get home, the same guy asked me not to bother that he will offload the luggages, which he did to their flat (third floor).

After everything the woman asked him to come into the sitting room, offer him a seat.

She introduced herself to him (she's a nurse in Canada) then ask the driver if he is married and he said no.
The woman said that he is a good man with a good business mindset and a charming appearance.

To summarize the story, she gave the guy 10k for that trip
- she asked him to take her to Anambra the next day (drop off), after three days he went back for her (with her Range R)
- the three weeks vacation she came in Nigeria, its that guy that was her driver and he was earning 10k daily driving Range Rover around Lekki/Ikoyi. One or two trips a day.
- even when she travelled back she still call the guy and sent him some errands in Lagos/Anambra with good pay.
- they became best friends, she sits in front not behind when I asked her why she said the guy dress well and speaks good English.
- she introduced her to her friends, even my boss use the guy as well.

I asked the guy why he didn't abuse the woman, he said he's out there to make legitimate money, so anything that comes he endures, he's after the money not the insult, after all we no go see again, except by chance.

Appearance, Endurance and Approach gives you mega offline trips, you don't have to ask, it comes automatically (according to the driver)

peeps4u:
Leave the guy alone. He's an ignoramus to think partnership means boardroom membership.

northbird:
You still don't get d meaning of a partner.

In Fmcg, the trade partners are the distributors. As big as P& G is. They don't dare joke wt deir trade partners.
All d way from Singa Market, Kano, Adebiyi & sons in Suleja to d Guys @ Oke Arin , Lagos.

These guys ( may look scruffy or their environment not look it) . You play with them @ ur peril.

Cos if you want to move big stuff, get ur SKU's to move like fuel. You need them

some of dese guys do 20 - 30m turnover

So dru23 go figure d meaning of partner.

No one is talking of boardroom here. OK?

johnwell:
On point!
That's the fact.

Felicity001:
Oga which one you no even dey self, since yesterday till this very moment you guys have been discussing and lecturing yourselves on one subject and non of you want to take a bow and have a humble leave and funny enough I read where you claim to be educated and internationally exposed while the other persons not privilege are then what? Illiterate and village boys abi?

If you think you’re wealthy, famous, healthy or can afford travel to any where you can don’t think the other man is not doing h/h best or not working more than you do, so don’t take you privileges for granted thinking it’s your making God has reasons for everything.

A guy here will always say each time I call him “boss” in our private chat, “don’t call me boss, we all are boss”. Such a humble guy with plenty of money and international profile yet you won’t hear it.

Empty can they say makes the loudest noise

peeps4u:
I've heard you. You assumed that for uber or they told you that ia the reason for choosing "partner" word?
Uber can still call drivers employers or workees withiut using the word "taxi drivers" but they chiose partners because in reality, the realtionship is partnership, not boss to servant relationship.

Prince3:
And you think immigrants with incomplete papers don't have a way over all dis procedures u just mention. You talk like you are not from Naija... This same USA is the same place Naija will start selling legit Uber account they got from legit drivers by hacking their account.

2ndly because I paid my landlord for 1year to leave in his house does not mean, I should play music on high volume at night, I should create a third window in his house, I should dirty the yard with dirts and not clean it. Even when you try to mount window unit AC, the landlord will tell you make sure u block it back an paint it before parking out. With all this, that does not mean that he is my boss neither am I his boss...

Dressing isnt in the uber code of conduct and no rider can choose how a driver shoud dress. Who complains about some riders' indecent dressings?

The service is just to take from poont A to point B. If a rider doesn't like a driver's dressing, just cancel and move on.

I'm an advocate of dressing well but i dont think that is the call of riders, another driver might just decide to dress casually which a rider doesnt see as "dressing well" so should such driver be subjected to insult or foul attitudes from riders becuase he is not dressed in what is perceived as "dress well" by the rider?

I agree we should all speak responsibly and that involves riders

peeps4u:
Comprehension again.

He meant they can't/dont treat their fellows who do ubers with disdain like that unless the immigrants due to racism or who they feel might even not have a complete paper.

topsydee007:
This issue of rider-driver relationship.

Most times before a rider will behave rudely to u..they would have accesed your dressing, countenance and the way u speak. If u dress well, speak well and have a good carriage. 98% of riders will respect u.

Rubbiish:
@bold which USA are u talking about?
If u are not an American citizen do not expect them to treat u same as one of their own. They know u are an immigrant probably with incomplete documentation, so they can trample on your right and nothing will happen. They don't treat their fellow citizen same way. I will encourage everyone to watch the video below to the end especially uber drivers, to see how the average American will react as an uber driver and how immigrants reacts. Most of these minor customer service jobs are done by immigrants, trust humans to always trample on their right, but it doesn't mean it is how things are done.

Gbas Gbos everywhere!

Izzou don Japa go Canada?

Drivers are partners to uber or bolt.

We've already dealt with this "Drivers are employees to uber" several times.

Drivers are partners and that is why they can choose to work with any platform any time. I can decide to abandon bolt or Uber for months and stick to Ocar and abandon same if i want again.

Drivers arent employees to uber, at least at present. Even these platforms call them partners.

Just becuase uber/bolt can remove any driver doesnt make then bosses, drivers have same priviledge to abandon any platform at anytime for another.

The average American driver in the USA don't tolerate what other drivers tolerate in other parts of the world. Except for immigrants doing uber over there. YouTube is there to back it up. They don't even tolerate rude talk in their cars, they kick u out of their car

radautoworks:
.

One does not negate the other. Yes, they paid to be the boss from point A to B but even bosses have rules of decorum. It's the reason why bosses shouldn't be slapping employees. They are still in charge but are expected to behave a certain way. This is the service industry. If one cannot humble themselves and give service, they are in the wrong industry. This is the wrong industry for someone who wants to be in charge all the time.

peeps4u:
I agree with your arguement about service being rendered, but there is no boss anywhere. Riders arent bosses to drivers. Services are only rendered and paid for, no bosses anywhere.
It is the "boss" mentality that makes some riders want to order drivers around like their employees.
That someone renders someone services doesnt make the other a boss, so far the service provider isn't employed under him.

Y1nka:
Another gibberish?!

Sir dru23 , with due respect sir..... you talk too much! And I hope you know that too much talk they say, leads to too much nonsense?!

But what do I know? Compare to a Satguru like you.

Chuwaa:
Drivers here have always experienced nice treatment and attitudes from foreigners because they dont have an iota of boss attitude in them. Recall how Uber started; as a ride sharing service before it became full time work. The philosophy behind ride sharing is about driver A picking a rider going his route, such rider can be a car owner too or fellow colleague at work and there is mutual respect... without bossing. If we go all the way to boss those in service industry, then this nation would have been aflame. I still ask why they don't feel bossy when they get to the airport. No excuses for bad behavior and mindset

Gentlelife50:
Exactly, unfortunately they have to feel that way because they lack orientation.
If u try to talk next thing u hear is 'is it not my money'?

rapheal5:
Hello boss can i have the link of Gazzuzzz

Gentlelife50:
Bros u get time dey reply am, he has quoted me before to say same thing I kuku ignore am. No time for baseless and unfruitful arguments because he knows it all.
Well I understand he has been here doing this because of his investment, anytime we say something that threaten his investment it doesn't go well with him.

Emusan:
Thanks for your input...

I actually asked someone yesterday who has used Civic '11 for uber and the man gave a good testimony about the car, he even said the car is cost less in maintenance than corolla.

Thou only complain about the car not too high which can easily be affected by high bumbs or rough road.

Chuwaa:
Hahahhaah, simple divergent point pain you like this that you had to spend hours looking for arsenal and yet can't find,.... only conjectures.
Why don't you show what you read that made you write the bolded. Well i'm not surprised, your belligerent and narrow minded nature is well known in nairaland.
