Ipobs please.
Not igbos.
Kindly take note!


ipobs, not igbos!
So Mba,
Only some sets of cannibalistic fraudsters giving our whole tribe a bad name,
They are less than 2% of our Great Igbo tribe.
Just as Boko harams are less than 0.05% of the Northerners.
So, It's not about our tribe at all.
Please next time....... biko we beg you,
Next time don't use we sane, honest and hardworking igbos, use the word ipob terrorist organization..
we sane igbos love our Darling nation to the moon and back.
Don't get it twisted biko.
We true, sane and hardworking Igbos love our nation to the moon and back.
Please take note Chief Olam!

BTW,
We no be Daddy o,
We are simply WE.

We Rise.

You remind me of 24th of December last year. I was jejely taking advantage of the period, till I start noticing some kind of uncomfortable feelings. A/c won't feel good on me, I put it off, same thing. Luckily for me I was going to Eko hotel and I'm feeling so tired, but I managed to get there. On getting to Eko hotel and riders alighted, I start feeling feverish and was shaking like shaky shaky daddy. From 2pm, I slept inside the car right in their park till 6pm, then the fever has subdued. I rush down to 1004 to get Paracetamol as I can't take any medicine or even treat malaria, I don't want anything to weak me down during that period. I managed to get home.

The next morning 25th, I woke and check my body. Seems like I am good to go. I hopped into the car and start moving Lagos. Around 8pm I start feeling feverish and so tired. Got home and slept off without doing anything. The next morning, I was boxed to bed, real knock off, I couldn't stand, eat or do anything for the whole day. I gathered strength on the 27th and go take a bed. I didn't leave that bed til 30th.

I still hustle, pending on situation on ground, I've not had time to rest this week and don't think I want to use Sunday to rest, but any time I find a free space I don't hesitate to rest

Glithronix:
Boss man, you don finally got a ride?

What's wrong with you guys here?
You forgot to also add that ants hardly fall sick.
BAZOO1 please what else did he forget to add to the list?

peeps4u:
All you can do is to ask from people. I have asked police and LASTMA for direction before.

peeps4u:
Having a car of your own, you're about 80% ready.

Go for inspection at accredited bolt and uber centres.
Get your road worthiness ready.
Register online with uber and bolt and updatr all necessary docs as requested.

Once your account(s) is/are ready;
1. Avoid one way; always ask people around to be sure of one way if you observe cars are parked facing a particular direction on a road or cars are only coming from a direction.

2. Make it a habit to ask your rider if he/she has a preferred route or you follow a Gmap before starting your trip, dont be shy to say you're a newbie, it saves you from stress as long as the rider agrees you use the Gmap, he has technically agreed to the fare after the trip, there will be no issue like "driver dubiously takes me through a long route to increase fare".

3. To be on a safe side, if you take an airport trip, don't bother to take any trip back from airport, leave as soon as you drop your rider, even if your car is giving funny sound, leave the airport premises before you stop. There are airport WANDERERS who will arrest you if you wait a second. Once you leave airport, you can always drive into Ikeja GRA and wait for trips (that is my most peaceful area to park in ikeja, no Lastma harassment). If you want to pick trips from airport, go to park and pay for parking while waiting for trips.

4. You dont need to be unnecessarily chatty with riders, be as professional and accomodating as you can. Simple "good afternoon/morning/evening" when rider steps in is okay and face your steering. Don't fight it if rider replies or not. However, you may cancel the trip if your intuition says so. You may also bid a rider a good bye with "thanks and have a nice day/night" if you want. These things are naturally my habits though

5. Don't asslick rider's ass because you're looking for mysterious helpers through uber, that might make you work like goats for no pay because of help expectation from riders.
what will be will be.

6. Dress well and be neat to command respect and even boosts your self esteem and confidence that you wont be afraid to confront any rider or shy to enter any environment with your dressing. Not necessarily, but I'm always on pairs of jeans/chinos with shirts/vest and shoes (simple), you can't catch me looking dirty/unkempt and riders don't address me anyhow.

7. Eat well and take care of yourself.

8. Be careful of bank transfer payment, insist on card or cash, if you're to accept bank transfer, before accepting, tell the rider he/she will not leave the car until you get your credit alert. Also, you may use your discretion here as to let the rider leave or not.

9. If uber still does 3% commission after 20 trips or so, Ikeja GRA at evening/night is one of the places to get quick/successive short trips to quickly increase number of trips.

You will learn more on the job.

Ogas patapata will add or substract to/from what I've said so far

Good luck.

peeps4u:
Bro, try to contribute to some discussions as much or little as you can asides this your repeated post. With that, people will see you as one of us and probably recommend you or give you link

See, I was very active here years ago long before I joined the hustle that some people even thought I was already active then. I was even replying to inquiries based on what I've read from experienced drivers.

Take a clue from Johnchrix, Glithronix and others who were/are active here while seeking for cars. Some of them got cars via recommendations from here.


My cents, good luck in your car search bro.

Glithronix:
Good morning, chief.
Not at all, I don't have. It was through connection I got mine, boss. You can continue posting here, bro. That's how I did and I got several offers but one thing or the other didn't make me get one here, but there were real offers from here. Stick around, boss.
