Uber accepts third-party insurance, but why put your car on the road knowing it is not covered, buy insurance and get peace of mind in return. How much does your insurance package cost for a car and what are the types you have. |

ZUBY77:
Chapter 137
The troubles i was encountering in Nigeria was becoming too much. It was almost as if i didn't know how to live in my own country. I was being too careless with words that could put me in trouble. I was getting too involved with people who could harm me. I had managed to escape most of the troubles unharmed but i also knew that it was only a matter of time before i got into a trouble that could land me in serious harm. I tried to recall how i got myself into some of those thing
Almost all my troubles were avoidable at the initial stages.
I could have forgiven the Landlord's wife after pouring water on me, perhaps i would have still lived in their house.
I could have forgiven the area boys after slapping me but i didn't want such life, i never did. I had always believed that Africans would not abandon evil ways if nobody punished them for their sins.
I could have also ignored Clement and his threat but i had chosen to attack whether he meant it or not.
Everywhere i went, there was always someone to step on my toes. Was it that it was me who stepped on people's toes? Or could it be that i didn't know how to live in the World? Why did i always chose the revenge path anytime i felt that i had been offended?
It was clear to me that i had been able to win all my revenge fights because while my enemies rested, i planned on how to revenge.
I took them unawares. It was time to start behaving like millions of other inhabitants of planet Earth. It was time to abandon revenge and start turning the other cheek. Yes, it was time.
First things first, i called Clement.
''I called to apologize for my behaviour'' i had said as soon as he answered the call.
'' You stupid boy, you have the gut to call me?'' he shouted.
''I am serious Clement. I think what i did was bad and i am sorry for that'' i said again.
He hung up the phone.
Damn! It was going to be too difficult to convince people that i had changed for good, that i had turned a new leaf.
I made a mental list of the people i had wronged. I needed to apologize to them one after the other.
First of all, i called Stella.
''What do you want'' she had said.
''Stella, i want to apologize to your mother for what i did to her'' i said.
''Has your new landlady asked you to leave like my mother did, you are not wanted in our house again'' she said.
''Stella i am serious about this, i think what i did was very bad and i need to talk to her. Please send me her phone number'' I said.
She suddenly hung up but a few minutes later, i got a text message with her mother's number in it.
I called Stella back. She answered and reminded me that i also needed to apologize to her.
''I am really sorry sweetheart. I think some kind of revenge evil possessed me but i have changed now'' i said.
She advised me to go and visit a certain Prophet T B Joshua for deliverance. According to her, the prophet would cast the revenge evil away in a few seconds and i would become a new leaf. I gave it some thought.
I had decided to visit the prophet really but i needed to apologize to people first.
I called Stella's mother. She hung up when she found out it was me. I tried several times to call again but she never picked. However when my phone rang four hours later, it was her.
''Why were you calling me'' she said.
I figured Stella had discussed with her about how i wanted to apologize.
''Aunty I am very sorry for pouring dirty water on your cloth. It was deliberate and i think it was wrong. Please forgive me'' i said.
She was touched. I heard her said a few inaudible words to someone and when she talked to me again, she said she had forgiven me. However she wanted me to visit the same prophet her daughter had suggested.
The next on line was Maria. I called her and told her that i was coming to Surulere. She said she would be at home in an hour, therefore i used that opportunity to drive to Ago Palace way and picked up some money in the Diamond bank along the road.
I drove to a super market and bought a flower and a card. Inside the card was written in blocked letters ''I am very sorry''.
I took them to Surulere and waited inside the car in front of Maria's house. She was on her way back.
She returned some minutes after i had come and packed her car behind mine. Maria tapped on my car to alert me that she had returned but i sat motionless, looking at the sky through my windscreen. The flower and the card were on the passenger seat. Tears were gathering around my eyes and i was struggling to keep them at the back of my head where they belonged; men don't cry.
Then all of a sudden, i jumped out of the car and hugged Maria right there on the street. People were staring at us but i didn't care. I had drifted away from humanity, love, care and forgiveness. If i was really going to return to all of the above, hugging and kissing in public shouldn't matter.
I entangled myself from Maria and walked across the car to get the flower and card.
'' Here is for you'' i said as i handed her the items.
She looked up and down the street and finding out that people's eyes were still on us, she held my left hand and dragged me inside her house.
''What is this all about'' she said while looking in my eyes.
She must have thought that i was about to propose marriage to her.
''I did something to you out of anger and revenge. The items were to ask for your forgiveness'' i said.
She tore the card and read it.
''What exactly did you do to me Austin'' she asked.
''First of all, my name is not Austin. It is Azubuike. I lied to you about that. Secondly, i was the person who told the area boys to attack you at the Emmanuel bus stop'' I said.
She kept her gaze on me for a long time and when the realities of what i had revealed to her sank down into her head, Maria began to cry. She didn't ask why i did it. She only asked for her phone when she stopped crying.
I didn't know how to tell her that i had sold her phone but i didn't want to lie to her anymore.
''I sold it''

Ikenna351:
Stumbled upon this thread because i was mentioned and here i am. I have few things to say, since i am here.
Ogunvic41 sounds like my client, even though i don't know his Nairaland username, but from what i have read so far in this thread, he sounds like my client whom i know is Abuja to pick up about 3-4 Peugeot 407 for the past 3 days from Lagos. So, if he is the one, I would say the below:
Yes, he owns more than one Peugeot and running UBER with them in Lagos. He comes to Abuja every once in awhile to buy Peugeot 407 for his colleagues or for himself in UBER business. I know this because i am the one that inspect most of the Peugeot 407 he indicated interest in and would ask me to inspect before coming to Abuja from Lagos for purchase, possibly. He pays for the services and i render them for him. So yes, he owes more than one Peugeot 407 and Peugeot 406 he is using in Lagos. One of the guys he came down to Abuja few days ago to pick Peugeot 407s called me to confirm if i knew him and his intention and i told him yes. I inspect, evaluate and advice him on Nigerian used Peugeot 407 he can go for or walk away from he indicated interest in. Even from the pictures they posted, one of the 3 Peugeot 407 pictures they attached they purchased was one of the ones i recommended to him was in good state when i inspected him.
Well, as for those with opinion that Peugeot 407 reliability and durability are ferry tales, i would suggest to you Nigeria is made up of number of regions, regions, states, towns, etc. Lagos is just a state in Nigeria. Using what goes on in Lagos as a reflection of what goes on in other states or regions of the country is a limited way of thinking or living. Stop living in a box and online. There is so much going on outside your belief system, your phone and your environment. Majority of Peugeot vehicles in northern Nigeria are privately purchased and owned, not government vehicles or previous official government vehicles. I am not talking about just used Peugeot vehicles, but brand new as well.
The question is, is my client really making big money from UBER with his Peugeot cars? yes. Are his Peugeots serving him well in the business? Yes, because i know their history/update till date.
I am not here to manipulate you to use Peugeot cars for UBER, but to point out that words don't teach, only life experience does. In otherwords, if you have never experienced any of these Peugeot cars in discussion on this thread, then you have some belief systems to deal with.

Bro, I use a Peugeot 307, for about 2 years now, I have never had issues with it. I used a Toyota corolla before this, the corolla parts are more expensive than the Peugeot and repaired it more frequently. For example my my Peugeot engine is #100k, that corolla costs over 200k. Bro. Every car is good in it's own way, but largely depends user(s) maintenance history.
Someone wants to sell a407 for me, pls how reliable is it... Peugeot 307 2006
And is it OK for uber and taxify...
Can u tell me the pro and con

| Business › Re: How Can I Receive Payment Through Bitcoin In Nigeria by FKBZ: 2:24am On Feb 23, 2017 |
PussyKrook:
Hi OP,
It depends what you mean by online transactions. Do you have an online shop? Or you are being paid for services? If you are offering products online, you can integrate Bitcoin on your website as a payment option.
If you are being paid for services, you would still be able to be paid in Bitcoin. All you need to do is open a Bitcoin wallet. However, Bitcoin does not have a specific domicile, like your bank account. Secondly, it is not like your normal currency like naira. You can't withdraw it and hold it in your hands, for e.g. To be able to hold the Bitcoin, you have to convert it to another currency like the dollar and then transfer it to your account.
If you receive a lot of Bitcoin, I mean a lot like 5 btc or over, we could work something out that would be mutual to both of us. But let me say that, you must be legit, I don't have time for scammers and dishonest people.
If u are serious, reply to this message with your phone number and I will get in touch with you. Hi can u kindly put me through the bitcoin process,need something to invest in. |
