I just skipped about 8pages I miss those days when this thread was about drivers sharing experiences, jokes and tips.

Who we offend? Why do we have this lowlife audio money CEOs here?? Cant they create their own thread and leave us the drivers here??

This is bleeped!!!

deedee44:
Stop deceiving yourself, were you using uber in 2016? No, you're using uber now because it's cheap, cheaper than yellow cabs

With all your threats too, I still dont go to places I dont want to go

Yes I am the owner of the car and I cant park at home because I'm not lazy, and mind you.. the platform is NOTHING without us drivers but we can survive without them. There are offline jobs bro, you know nothing......

izzou:
Yeah. Sounds cool

I remember last year December 25th. I and some of my uber friends chilled at Elegushi that night. It was all fun.... Drinks, weed, and the chilling breeze

Not until a fight broke out the next morning around 3am. Na so dem burst bottle for person head. The whole beach scatter

I'm more informed...

..that I pay my people to much

Just joking. My people deserve all they get and more... Most of the time.

It makes sense why people resort to some of the things they do. But it doesn't change that sometimes it's penny wise, pound foolish. One has to think of ways to cater to that demographic. If it means in the future having a budget brand separate from our main brands that strictly deals in "rigging" and tokunbo parts to keep you going with full disclosure, that may be an option but one would have to do research to see if it is worth the potential problems. Yes, we know how to rig but don't.

At one point, EgunMogaji2 was talking about potentially opening an American style junk yard. If something like that was available, that demographic would be a lot easier to serve.

No not like in Nigeria.

1. Nigerian flood "always" happens because of permanent all year round blocked drainages that makes any little rainfall turn to flood.

British or American flood happens due to a hurricane or a major storm that happens once in a very long stretch of time.

Bros lock up... You know only what is available to you. I gave you the name of the company whose CEO drove on my ride you are here speaking English. The CEO is worth more than 200milion in naira. Go and look it up and stop trying to change the subject matter. You're not the only one opportuned to meet these people if at all.
Note... These people understands the risk of what they're doing but trust their guts! Even a common man like you has value sir

peeps4u:
Your head dey there.

There was a time Otedola took Molue, though some might say it was a public stunt, but it is a confirmation these people also occasionally go for normal lifestyles as every individual.

Beside, I don't even think any top CEO will put his hot line or biz line on Uber or any ehailing platform.

peeps4u:
How dare you turn down rider's request to buy her food?
If you can't please your rider, please take your car off Uber platform

tojahh:
Yes Tino is accepted and its very good with the job. I was with a guy this week in unilag and he uses Tino. He told me it's very fuel efficient and its maintenance is low once you stick to the recommended oil.
Go for it, Go for rest of mind.

peeps4u:
Leave these people alone.
Imagine the audacity "Driver shouldn't cancel any ride, or they should leave the platform"
Why don't they say "Uber shouldn't make non cancellation mandatory, or they should provide the cars"
Why not Uber provide the cars if they want to mandate non cancellation? Who bears these costs of repair, Uber or riders?

Any driver is free to cancel any trip. If a driver decided to ask for destination, it is his decision as no one share in his cost of repairs.
peooke that can't do what they preach

Drivers are entitled to protect their investments (Cars)

pope191:
make una leave me o, they banned me because of him, I wasn't the one even having issue wit him... I just wasn't down with him saying someone will remain a driver forever. Right now I have a target to meet, I don't even have power for all this back and fort tug war, its a cold world out there, Every man have to watch out for his investment as long as you have you conscience intact, it makes no sense getting home at night and feel so useless cos u are working to uber/taxify standard, there's no standard in the first place, we all had our own share of bad and painful day on this job. I'll never forget that girl I carried from ikotun to magodo and she was shouting speed! Speed!! If the man leave the hotel I won't pay you, I even talk to the man when will got stuck in traffic and as well doing formula 1 on a free way, end trip saw 1k, the idiat throw 1k on me and say its her lucky day

Nitigriti said he will start trip and if its not favourable he won't go? I pray you don't jam rider or riders that senior you, that Ikorodu/Sango otta, you shall reach dia. You further say somethings around 8pm you don't do this or that, life is relative and will must learn to tolerate others, if yours start by 8pm (no one made the law for u), someone own starts by 6am. That's life, live and let's live

why are you projecting?

why are you so slow in responding?

oh yes, that lack of brain matter

or did you perhaps eventually sell one of your organs

you think everyone is like a cheap civil servant, looking for where to steal? i am sure if we investigate, we will find you do uber on company time.
small wonder you are so ethically challenged

kodred:
Lol clown!

What friends do you have? The ones that are pitying your life and paying for your uber trip?

Ignorant guy!

Every HUSTLER has a payday

ornicus here.

i am once again in gbagada. for all the BS spouted here - ubers are NOT hard to find.

i suggest you get off my diick before i give you a proper fking beatdown that will make you run to the mods like a crybaby

I worked in a major [/b]downstream[b] company for 14 years. i have no need to lie about things like vehicle ownership

my PFA is 10 times that 2m you are carrying on your head for loans and whatnot. if i was to use the PFA with treasury bills, the return would still be more than your crummy 2m. if i was to use it in combination with my severance, i would employ your bitch arse for 5 years easy.

accept that you are a fking pauper batting above his league and move on.
ediat forming detective

small wonder you have never amounted to anything and never will
copious lack of matter between your ears

be warned.

respect yourself and let this go.

donfortune48:
Dear ornicus,
Everyone here agreed that the driver was wrong for requesting for an offline with you, even those attacking you. But what many are trying to explain to you is that, reporting him to uber seems somehow, quite harsh do to some justifiable reasons in relation to our experience on this job.

Over 70% of uber drivers (even those that supported you) don't like going to festac, satellite town and amuwo odofin for some reasons. rubbery incidents, heavy traffic, bad roads along that way.
you'll likely pass through Babs Animashaun going to festac from gbagada. Which is one of the worst roads in Lagos.

Most people don't negotiate offline just to cheat Uber.
Most times we negotiate offline to justify the risk we're taking for that particular trip. Risks related to possible robbery along that route, or not getting a request back, or passing through bad roads that will possibly damage your car, or getting stuck in an unexpected traffic that will affect your day etc...

I've once negotiated for an offline to amuwo odofin cos there was traffic from Orile to Festac. So I explain to my rider that I will like to follow middle lane to alakija, then go through Festac to amuwo Odofin. We got to the destination rider was so happy seeing the traffic we avoided and added 1k to our agreed fare.

We're not trying to justify Evil. We're only trying to tell you to be flexible in reasoning.
That driver must have had over 5trips on uber before your trip that day, but he didn't negotiate offline with them. So you just need to understand that there might be a reason behind his request for offline which could not be exactly what he told you.

I know you may not accept this explanation cos you don't do Uber and you don't know what we see daily.
[/b]I know it will look like convincing Dru23, who sees the job as a blessing, that the job is not easy, when he don't know how to hold a steering....[b]

...but please think otherwise and don't be stiff in reasoning.

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.. [/b]I sacked him on the spot without saying anything[b] ... 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

peeps4u:
LOL, another twist. Where is the thread to that story abeg?

ornicus:
i have been riding on uber for the past four months.
before i could register this complaint, i had to COMPLETE my registration on the website and set up an email address.

https://www.uber.com/global/en/sign-in/

prior to this, i had NEVER had any notifications outside of the app
the moment i did this, i started getting notifications in my email of every trip i had done.
i hope this clarifies.
this is also applicable to anyone who rides uber for business trips
for anyone riding uber for business trips, this is how you generate receipts that can be tendered
this can be presented as a receipt - something most of the dodgy jokers herein will not understand

obviously every Driver has to do a COMPLETE registration, since the driver is the one in a business relationship proper

this foolish response is precisely why i say so many of you are unemployable . you continue to demonstrate a complete lack of logical thinking

nice attempt at trolling, though. lets see what your next step will be

we have moved from broke mofo to you dont ride uber to festac to wow so you are registered on uber

keep on with the mentions, but don't bi-tch about the responses
