I am a rider, so I honestly do not understand why I should be told not to bother with drivers. I have no direct business with other riders (if you get my point). I do get your point though...

Of course you should be bothered about any person behind the wheel when ever you are been driven because your life at some point at that period is hands and the decisions he/she makes while trying to convey you to your destination.

Those riders who provoke Bolt/Uber drivers while driving lack wisdom and are ignorant of their act... So I understand your point.

Pocohantas this your monikar!!! It rings a bell....

fdmskincare:
Thank you dru23,felicity0001,jpworld,radautoworks....I have been truly entertained. Thank you.

It's our work oh.... I'm happy your blood pressure is down.

Welcome boss.

President of the Republic of Hoodlums.

pocohantas:
No, I mean no harm please. I use only Uber, but I realized there are certain locations Uber doesn’t pick- so I had to download Bolt.

My first bad ride experience was on Bolt, the driver was angry over something that I couldn’t tell and ended up transferring the anger on me. Long time ago I was stuck somewhere on the mainland and my friend helped me book a Bolt ride, the driver kept cursing other motorists. Few days back my Uber app was malfunctioning, Izzôu helped me book a cab and it was yet another aggressive Bolt driver. He was also cursing other motorists, in fact, he called them FOOLS and asked if I don’t think they are foolish.

I don’t think it is a coincidence, there has to be a reason. I have never had problems with Uber drivers...

I think you should be more worried about the app and it's riders and not the drivers per say because same drivers drive on both apps. In my own opinion I think it's a function of the app/riders.

Bolt riders/ladies especially (from the eastern part of the country, apologies!) can make a gentle man change within 1 month. I speak from experience my dear.

I used to be a very shy and gentle person before I started driving with Bolt and there after, Uber... It's been almost a year down the line and I know I'm not that person I used to be.

I almost did what I did in 1965 again today but I've changed... Jennifer should thank her stars if not na the middle I 4 kick her out this time. Nonsense

Kamikaze42:
Good people,

As envisaged, the northern lady has still not made the payment and has put me on a no receipt list on her phone as the calls do not even connect at all.

She also is not responding on whatsapp any longer. It is way past 3 weeks since the ride and she did not oay my #4,900 despite how understanding I tried to be with her.

Her number is as follow:

08064951485
Saratu Ibrahim Sanusi

Kindly do justice.
Thanks.

See as we dey rush to work... Job don land... She go hear am... Its been long I spoke Hausa

Bros

LOL, Bros, 10k rent pre covid, during covid, post covid is just like throwing the car "away". Na help the young man help you, or maybe you were able to sweet talk him. You still took the car out of Lagos within that period i guess? To come back and remit 10k? Like i said earlier, nothing STOPS you LEGALLY from taking the car out of lagos, hence , the questions you asked him after he helped you released the car from the officers on the highway.
Did you divide 10k by 7 day? Dru has a choice, he could have parked the car at home and he will be fine, even if the lockdown lasted 1 year, but what about you? Be humble and allow God lift you up!

You just lost a chance to free 1yr servicing of your vehicle

Okay, one more chance.

Honorable god representative;
Kindly elaborate or tell this honorable house how much you paid or were paid for rental during the lockdown.

dapotemi:
You must have been offended, hence, this response.

Bros, in all honesty, all what you put up there about that oil 20W50 in your booth is nothing but an ASSUMPTION!

Your case will not last more than two adjournment, in any court, anywhere sir. Stop assuming things.

You could, atleast check for sludge to verify your ASSUMPTION. Yet you did not. You will rather prefer to ASSUME!

Some of us keep things that we don't even need or ever use. I am not advocating for felicity, infact, i believe "him own too much".

Stop complaining about an empty keg in your booth, it's meaningless. That keg might be there for countless reason, and in fact, it could be that he's using that oil in your civic, just the way you believe, but its an ASSUMPTION, the most foolish way of making conclusion. You did not nail this one sir! Move on!

Driving your car out of Lagos, legally, he has not breached your contract, maybe morally he did! And when it comes to making ends meet in this part of the world, it's been a while i see anyone living on those morals anymore. Again on this one, pls move on!

I think you did not see felicity as a partner, you see yourself, as his helper. Yes you helped him, i have never seen anyone renting out his car for 10k, quite CHEAP. And i think felicity lack respect for you, as his partner, or perhaps, his boss. Both of you should park well!

Use simultaneous equation to evaluate how 10k weekly rent during the partial lifting of the lockdown is equals to help as against initial 25k pro-covid-19. Then use Pythagoras theory to find "lack of respect with 700yrs as duration. Find boss (x).
Finalize by using Taylor's series and elimination method to evaluate profit margin made by rentee within 2weeks of 10k weekly rental with high consumption rate in pms for daily operations.

Remark: question carried 30marks (1yr free servicing with 20w30 mobile oil).

Riders with eating in the car.

Currently around ogundana and she just came in with a plate of food.

Please join me ooo, she said politely.

Ooorrrhhh... Im sorrrrry i dont permit eating in the car plsses....

Oh...really?!
And in just packed the food so I dont keep you waiting ooo

Me: ok, let me wait for you right here while you go back and finish up okay. Is that fine?

Okay, its fine.
But what is the implication of eating in the car does it has any meaning...?

Not really, only that the next rider may not like the smell of the food.

Okay then.

3min after she returned.

So fast, hope I didnt make you rush your food? Sorry for the inconvenience okay.

This is like the first rider I've meet with great understanding.

freshvine:
Is the 02 Camry a V6?

V4

calabardick:
Good analysis, you really study the vehicles.
The bold part >>> that's due to the fact that Civics are equipped with CVT drivetrain. It's one of the factors that increase fuel economy.

Nice one bro.. Thumbs up for the enlightenment.

I don't just drive but also take my time to understand the modus operandi of every car i use[b]. I love fast cars and like speeeeed[/b]

Really miss my V6 EOD. I remember doing just 6hrs plus traffic from Ph to Lagos some yrs ago.

Reason I'm enjoying my current car- 02 Camry. Though spending more on fuel But more spacious, rigid, heavy, and elegant a good ride for family too.

Kozil2:
Guys pls I lost my wallet and my drivers license was inside...pls I need a sure plug to get a new license.. Your recommendations will be highly appreciated..

If you have the laminated copy or a picture of the original just keep using it till it expires then you go for a renewal but make sure you get a police report for any eventuality.

Good luck.

Kozil2:
. Na we dey do ourselves.. Calm down carry passenger put money for pocket you dey form big man

I won't trade my respect for money or for a plate of porrage.

Ehailing is not a personal driving job but a ride share, you request when you're ready.

All the time I picked up foreigners I never waited instead I find them waiting at their PUP. But the black man don't value time and you expect God's blessing at the right time when you've missed used the time given to you.

Change the way you do things.

kanuisagoat:
One thing I'm starting to realise is, most riders who keep you waiting and hop into the vehicle without any form of apology are usually trouble and the ones most likely to give you a low raring.

So once I wait for you for quite sometime and you come in without any form of apology, i'll just tell you to please come down and get another ride before starting the trip.

Those that ask why, I tell them a little courtesy is not going to kill them. When you keep someone waiting, you should apologise.

Dont mind them... You needed to even see the way she was doing self... How Will you keep someone waiting for more than 20mins, you just dropped your bag at the back seat and all you could say was I want to get something.

A well trained person would first apologies first before even stepping into the car or will keep calling to say what's keeping them long and one stupid hypocrite up there @ mejai is spilling out rubbish from his smelling mouth to say nonsense. I believe you where not brought in a proper way. Fufu like... God's advocate.

@ felicity0001.
I will like to make some enquiries abt the big daddy Camry u are currently using..
I know very well that it's a good ride for this job bt is it as rugged as the corolla or the Civic u previously used? .
What is the fuel economy like compared to ur previous car?
Does it burn or short oil badly like the 07~09 models.
Wat are the pros n cons u have found using the vehicle?
Just give me ur rating base on ur experience

Every other opinion n contribution is also welcome.

Okay. This topic was debated here some weeks back about which car is best I wanted to put d9wn something but something kept telling "hold it you're not ready yet".

So far so good I've use
1)Honda EOD V6
2)toyota Corolla 04
3)Honda civic 03
4) Toyota Corolla 2010
5) Toyota Corolla 03
Currently using 2002 Camry (big daddy)

Honda cars are fuel efficient, rugged, strong body and parts, if you're the type that love music Honda will serve you with good and quality sound, its engine is strong and has a long life spam. Beautiful interior. But you don't wanna be faced with dislocated arms while on the road. This is a common problem with Honda cars also with its power steering pump. That guy can frustrate the he'll outta somebody.

I usually buy 4-6k fuel daily using my V6 EOD then And could gross with 18-22k. These were my 1st days so the spirit was still strong.

Fuel consumption with the Toyota corolla and Honda civic is almost the same only that in a long distance journey the civic will save like 5-10ltr more than the corolla if all driving conditions remains constant. Another observation I have noticed about these two cars is their "initial". The corolla is a champion in that. It has the ability to move out of rest very fast than the civic but once the civic has gathered momentum on a long distance race it can zoom pass the corolla like a Ferrari. Reason for its lesser fuel consumption on a long distance and on the other hands, the corolla its good in traffic movement and manoeuvres just like the saloon 4matic Benz. You don't try that with the civic else trouble for you and other road users.

Now talk of parts. Due to popular demand for the corolla it has made it parts to be very expensive when compared to the civic. But on the norms with say 2016 Honda abd Toyota the Honda parts can be more expensive because these cars are known to be for some classes of people with flair and elegance. I may be wrong though but I'm talking from experience.

One thing about the corolla I dislike is that it's not spacious and the body is so soft that putting a child on top of the roof can compress the body. Dont even think of resting your body on any part of a corolla else you would need a panel beater and a painter's work...

To be continued

mejai:
Hmmn!!!
No cure!

Its dog eat dog... No time for mercy. Doing everything I can to aviod 1 star rating

Was some where around Egbeda this evening when I received this request.

1.3km pu, did about 3 turns b4 I could get the right direction to go. You know how Egbeda roads can be so annoying with lota of turns. All this while, rider didn't call... I arrived just about 100m away. 3min later rider called.

A lady's voice at the far end sounding so hash like she just finiahed having a fight.
R: why would you arrive when you're not here yet?
Me: I'm outside.
R: talking plenty... Hanged up.

Paid Waiting time had got to 9min, I ranged her.
Me: hello, are you still going or not
R: pls give me one minute to pack my things
Me: 1min you've got, if i don't see you 8n a minute I will go.

Paid waiting time 18mins plus. I started my car and started making a turn, the road was so badddd...

phone rang...

The voice sounded more rude this time.
R: where are you parked
Me: pls request another ride I'm going already.
R: no form of remorse or what ever she just hanged up.

I'd already seen her standing and holding a bag. I pulled over like 30m away then thought of it... Let me just pick her since she's heading towards my residence I can just close with that.

Me: hello, are you the one standing holding a bag?
R: yes

She walked down while I opened the doors and she opened the back door and put her hand luggage in the back seat without even saying a word like "sorry for keeping you waiting". Next thing, I'm c9ming let me get something.

I was luke really! I hornedeven called her but tje insolent wouldn't answer. I stepped out of my car and a million taughts entered into my mind.

Went to the back door... One mind said throw her things out and zoom off... But thank god for the good mind... "No wait till sje comes then cancel right in front of her eyes.

I went back into the car, at this time paid waiting time was already counting about 30min.

She finally came with another young girl like her. Standing behind the car wanting me to open the trunk for her to put her other luggage.

I wind down, 2nd lady was already at the passenger door asking me to open the booth...

Me: pls take your things out of my car...2X
2nd lady helped resounded it again to her.

She open the door and picked her things... Without saying a word.

Me I just drove off jejely.

I know it will be difficult for her to get a ride because I was getting ling distance PU from there but declined.

This hustle done dey cast... May God open new ways for all the good and h9nest hustlers.

Thanks at least i still have peo0le that would still love to share from my verse knowledge and experience in the job. I'll respond when I get home because I'll need to settle down to do justice to your enquiries

1daboi:
Na man you be

1daboi:
I beg to disagree with the bolded. You narrated here on this forum how your former boss gave money to beggars on your way to radautoworks but refused to pay for your Jamaican rice. You were very disrespectful.
Apart from that, the way and manner you address your former boss doesn't show you respect him sir.
All the same, be the bigger person by tendering your apology because tomorrow is a mystery. Cheers

I've always know you to be a man with two mouth. Please sir kindly find your bearing.

jpworld:
Another hi profile uber driver, probably a SAN.

No wonder IFSHR they attack me left and right, please i will be needing your service.

I'm planning on suing Lagos state Gov, regarding that one way law, stripping car owner of their vehicle, bc of an offense. That law is most likely breach of fundamental right.

Lol... What's fundamental about the law? A law you stood here to defend a few days ago?

You're joking I supposed.

dru23:
You can help him read whatever parts he wants to read. I was minding my own business and obviously you didn't read that part or you fail to read it ......

Now what I expected from you as a friend to him , for you to pull him aside and caution him . This is why JP does not tolerate nonsense from anybody, his approach might be overly aggressive, but that is transport business for you...

back to my point if you don't call it as you see it and be honest and candid about it .. You basically encouraging his bad behavior ... I dont have issues with him at all.. But when he came at me and poke at me ,which he evidently did and I presented that to you .. I have no choice than to give him what he is looking for .. I don't do it out of malice , I do it cause am very comfortable in my skin .......

Baba is do na... Oya sorry na no vex. Sorry okay... It's okay...

Remember that little boy we meet in traffic that day? Selling some stuff? That you gave Some money?? I believe you know what I mean.

Is it because of the gallon of 20w40 or what ever its called palm oil you find in the trunk that got you pieced? That gallon was just for buying fuel for the car and for the generator set. Or was it taking your car outta state that was the issue? Had you mentioned it to me before trust it wouldnt have happened. The police man spoke to madam via my phone, I have 1000 and 1 women I would have called for a defense but I didn't do that... It was after the call madam informed me you don't permit outta state journey. Trust that was the only time and it was mainly because I'd to move some property I left behind...

Could there be something else? Apologies please.

Thanks.

dru23:
... You can recall 1 driver was saying I didnt give him notice before I collected my car from him etc .....this is tough business

Baba stop playing the victim card... Who where you trying to drag here? Now wh9 was rhe first to poke thw bear? You woke up a wounded lion Bros so bear what ever you see.

Please who needs Mobile1 synthetic oil 5w20 possibly for topping against oil shortage drop an address let me uber it to you free of charge. If I dont get any interested person I'll dispose it in 7days.

radautoworks:
I don't think he should. Why?

Both dru and Felicity contribute a lot to this forum. Felicity has moved on and is now driving a different vehicle and dru has moved on and sold his. Further dragging this will only cause a divide and/or ostracize one or the other.

I feel Felicity should apologize GENUINELY for anything he may have done that shook dru's trust in him whether it was intentional or not. I think it was not telling dru about it not the actual going out of town that originally pained dru. I know I hate it when I find things out from third parties.

In turn, dru should apologize for using ogbon agba to collect his car from Felicity why? Because he left Felicity in a state of uncertainty as to a source of income when he could have simply told him immediately after he seized the car so he could go seek a new source of income. I think that is what pains Felicity who had a pregnant wife at home.

Once that is done, both men should have a drink, bury the hatchet, NEVER speak of it again and go back to contributing to this thread.

So, who's going to be a bigger man about this first?

No, that's not whatbreally pained me. My pain was that I felt betrayed by someone I hold in a very high esteem. You needed to see the way I respect this guy, even without letting him know. I was down to earth to him, I did errands for his wife, we discuss other businesses and I offer my experience advice and even put in little efforts. I can remember a timenhe called me to seek advice before buying one civic he shipped down. I've been a Honda fan for many years so i know a few things one can bank on. Even during the covid19 lockdown I was the one who informed him about the evacuation by the united state government which he left with the following week. I didn't see him as just my boss but like an elderly brother. I never for once cheated neither did missed used the priority I'd.

The ine that broke the camels back was... How can you make a mockery of somebody that trusted you by relating his personal worries to you?" He said something like, literally, "having a spot for his w*f*". Menh... I was like. Really??!! That was where I think our problem started.

But I Thank God its all in the past now chai b4 them go come accuse me of what I've no knowledge of ooh... Thank God he even retrieved his car because I believe God used that to rescue me from bigher problem ahead.

Anyways, I've apologise to him even when i know I did no wrong and I've long move on but it obvious my Oga is still pained. If that is the case baba please im sorry for anything, every where i may have wrong you please sorry.

God bless you.

Peace.

radautoworks:
red grape sir

Noted.

dru23:
The question is how did he get Mobil XHP that cost 5k naira .. This is same guy that complains that he is broke and I should reduce the rental.. For him to (buy )Mobil xhp for 5k naira ,but he can't say Oga, don't worry I will pay the mechanic 1k or 2k naira for changing the oil ...

Liar! Continue making a fool of your self.

You better stop dragging my name before I screen shot every of our conversation and post them here because I still have histories of every of our conversations. Mind you we never talked on the phone but chatted all along so I've records.

Its obvious yiure the one mostly pained by the foolish decision you took but what is my business with your business decision? I've moved on long ago and i have even a better partner and a better car. Yes you heard me right "a better partner" so dont think you're thw only nice guy out there.

In any case, peace!

I've time for better things not for people like you and jpworld.

sharpk007:
First time U stylishly stated what Mobil XHP keg was doing inside the car..

I have to make the scene interesting to keep members coming back na

But wait oh did that man just called me mentally derailed? Well, just like I've said before I will say again... I'm but a change person, won't engage him or swim in the mud with a pig because I'm more honorable than that.

for the records na only once we change oil for the motor ooh all tru out the 7months car was in my constudy and his mechanics did the oil change themselves not me. The oil currently under my possession was given to me by his wife 4days b4 Mr. Perfect retrieved his car and it was mainly for topping... I topped it that same morning b4 driving down to his house that morning so what is left in the jerican should be like 3lts or so but since he has confirmed he doesn't need it I'll dispose it as soon as I get home today because its junk to me. As for the spare keys, I've thrown that one away the day after I saw the car put up for sale.

Mr. Andrew with all due respect please don't insult my person ever again please I beg you in God's name because I know I've NEVER NEVER done you any wrong neither do I own you anything so please live and let's live. Because I see no reason you of all persons with your level of exposure open you mandibles and call a fellow man like you "mentally ill" unless you want to tell us you're sick or going nut in the head because only sick people identify a sick person.

InfinityEstates:
You'll be surprised that nothing would happen. Na online most persons dey get mouth and power. When e reach physical, dem go japa.

Bros forget... We at warri we flap b4 saying it.

na that Jamaican rice wey we at dru no gree pay for me na him dey pain am ooh... Nothing else.

But thank God we at hoodlums drivers we don't beg for food rather we loot

samobaba4u:
Taking you serious will skyrocket the bolded so let me just continue the way i see it cos it's been helpful. Thank you

Okay... No problem...just enjoy it anytime it comes...

BAZ001:
I come dey wonder who dey behind dis moniker this morning?
someone woke up on the right side of bed dis morning or trying to calm d gbas gbos.
short sentences and no epistle.

Your disappointment just started... I'm only but a change person... No time to shalaye jor.

Happy to be a "hoodlum driver". But pls ask that man if he saw slurg inside the car b4 selling it off?

Do i need to state how many times that his civic stopped me on the highway due to high fuel consumption? So having a jerican of Mobil xhp in the trunk for eventuality is now a sin abi? Rubbish people pretending to be saint.

jpworld:
Lol at least i have family land to sell to start business. I no apply for ass licking job

Today the final of the u13 tournament i hosted was played, Winner goes home with 100k second place 50k. This is done every year.

I'm still hosting another one in Reddington school in sangotedo next week Sunday is the final, you're welcome to celebrate young talents.

I still go to my village to host more football tournament. As a football lover, i support the youth, not adult hoodlum, and social media miscreants.

go inform @radautoworks i won't use my business to do giveaways.

Why is that all i can see in this post is a babalawo table and some cup filled with concorsion or is JP now into money ritual?

Lush100:
LMAO ROFL.



I won't be there Sha.

Bcoz the gbos gbas on NL is manageable.
To have it in real life.
One advice never ever mix a party of jpworld, Felicity0001, dru23, angryigbodon and radautoworks.
If you do, police will come and investigate the happenstance thereafter.


I will not be there oh,
I only came for the scanner.

Wow! Like seriously!! I'm mentioned among kings? This is really good. Thanks to all trolls you guus actually sell me

radautoworks:
This is your problem. You are so desperate to hide your true self. You found picture of a knock off while mine is an Autel. You also "failed" to notice the minimum order quantity for that price on a KNOCK-OFF is 100 units- which doesn't include shipping or import either. So how much is the real one Chai, so envy causes blindness!

You were challenged to give back too since my methods don't meet your approval and are too cheap. We are waiting. Lockdown, I was here. Where were you? Christmas I am here, where are you? In between, I've been here quietly doing my piece. Where have you been? My case is like an iceberg. You only see the tip and it's giving you heart palpitations. Careful not to run into the full thing.

As far as why I don't buy car for drivers, dru23 already answered you. THAT IS NOT MY CORE COMPETENCY. And it seems neither is it yours.

As far as ThatNiccur, if being happy and speaking the truth makes him an ass licker, where are YOUR ass lickers

My issue with you is not how you run your "business". It's your condescending attitude to the members the thread is meant for and your constant denigration of said members. I really hope you are not like this in real life. There is no way your personality can be this lousy... Is there?

Anyways, eyin guys your thread don derail for a few pages but Oga had to be put in his place. The guy is not all that to be coming here insulting people upandan. 4 more "N2k" scanners are remaining and next challenge is tomorrow. Back to regularly scheduled programming.

Twalle to the boss jor... You did justice once again... Knock out!

Madam pls off your mic, it half do

jpworld:
I'm not on the same field with radautoworks, until she invest in a car then she can now understand how the business works.

Just as i have not invest in mechanic tools, i cant tell her how much her workmanship should be.

She can't come here because she is giving out 4k scanner, and tell me business is not about money. Is about sefless effort, meanwhile uber drivers are saying they cannot afford her services. You have them in heart, make ur services affordable to them. Buy cars and give them, then you can start talking @Thatniccur is just an ass leaker, his opinion never count.

As for that driver, he is just a hoodlum.

Lol... Baba abeg allow me to loot your warehouse na
