The police men at akinpelu police station at mafoluku,oshodi,are notorious in illegal raiding of youths at night and extorting 5 to 10k as bail the next day without charges.Before the station was set ablaze during the endsars protest,as early as 8pm policemen from that station would leave their jurisdiction at mafoluku and come to oshodi to raid passersby.The next day they would asked them to call their families to come and bail them without charges after torture.They also harassed foreign base Nigerians and extort money from them at airport road,who had visited the country and wanted to lodge in a hotel at ajao estate.These are the reasons the youth mobilized to burn down the state.They didn't touch the police station at igbehinadun at oshodi and within the vicinity though.

You mean Makinde police station.

GRIMMJOE:
Other people opinion shouldn't decide your opinion, trailers and pilot episode are.

See Star Wars for example I find it very difficult to watch despite the positive reviews, despite the hype.

Yeah,I know. But some peeps here are more like influencers, whatever they veer towards are what others would stick to. I remembered there was this guy gbola5 I suppose, he was an og on this thread, people tend to lookout for movies he watched cos they believe he has good taste. Its the same thing here. People are swayed and influenced when the see some particular set of people do that.

Na synopsis dey make me know if I go watch the series or not.

It's too early in the year to start being delusional abeg.

Clean the foam on your mouth, it's getting much.

Where did you see me tagging wheel of Time God tier just by watching the trailer?
The only TV projects I've hyped with that tag in recent memory is The Witcher (trailer), Arcane and Lovecraft Country.
Better receive sense... I don't tag something God tier if I haven't watched it or if I'm not very familiar with the lore. And WOT I rarely know about the world until the show aired.

If you can't provide receipts you better stfu.
TF is this one saying that I'm swayed by other known people. Lmao. You got me mixed up with someone else.
If I love something I'll hype it and sing it's praise. If I don't like something I'll criticise it.
If you even knew me the slightest you will know I don't do herd mentality.
I was excited for WOT before it aired cos it has been a long time we saw a new Big Fantasy series.
If you even knew me sef, you'd know my love for Fantasy.

And who's to say one can't change views when he finally sees the end product. So I'll follow the majority to hype nonsense I didn't enjoy.

No one's saying hype what you didn't enjoy, your opinion regarding a movie will definitely differ from mine as we aren't robots programmed to think in 0's and 1's.

But, what you people do without realizing is that you need to let others form their own opinion by allowing them watch the series, but you guys talking down on it won't allow them watch to form their opinion. Many peeps have missed out on shows they'll definitely enjoy cos y'all talked it down.

It's all love bro.

Kaycee7:
Person no even fit change opinion again. Static mindset ti takeover

I'll leave you to wallow in your ignorance, you and your ilk, as anyone having a different opinion from yours and your cabal is automatically an outcast.

abduleez1:
This is how you build a Fantasy series.....

I remembered when WOT trailer came out, you were drooling all over it on this page, shouting god tier series, till it came out and there were mixed reviews and you decided to follow the bandwagon of people saying it tanked.

On this page you allow people's reviews sway you over, especially some known monikers, whatever they say you accept and follow as truth.

Kendoo is really trying in Oshodi lga, before his 100 days in office, baba don reform most bad inner roads in oshodi, while his predecessor no even pour one grain of sand anywhere.

Please, help me with the code for this subscription

I don't think so bro.
Here is a breakdown receipt of my ride today. Riders still pay the booking fee.

Ok then, how do you then calculate the 3% booking fee from a 600N trip, or probably they don't add it to insignificant fares or they add it to fares 1k and above.

The fact still remains that instead of adding 3% booking fee and subtly adding to commission deducted, why not increase fare and then increase commission afterwards, that's a fair bargain.

I bet you they know what they're doing, this is just the pilot episode, wait for when the real drama begins.

northbird:
VERY true.
Drivers bear the 3% increase. It's not passed on to the riders at all.

Dem don subtly increase commission to 23%

Grossed 23.7k and bolt commission was over 5k, that one never pass 25% commission?

No one can tell me otherwise that this new 3% booking fee from bolt is not a scam, this is a deliberate and subtle increment of their commission without you really knowing or coming out to fight, they're disguising it as 3% booking fee for riders, meanwhile its the drivers that bear the brunt of it all.

We all know that starting and ending a ride on bolt irrespective of moving from that spot gets you 600N. But how come that 3% booking fee didn't get calculated into the 600N, later on the driver gets to pay for that 3%.

Be like bolt don overgrow wings oo.

Felicity0001:
Only honest people and sincere people share both good and unfavourable experiences.

Most of us here share experiences that will make people sing their praise. So don't expect to hear bad experience from them here.

Spot on.

Ghost1994:
Old people are babies… and being old doesn’t make anyone smart or intelligent… I understand your point but all I know is you can still manage them.

Just take things easy oh… Winter is coming whereby everyone will be dragging 1 rider

Safe drive

Lool, I understand you baba mi, I hope say winter time, everywhere go soft for me, so I no go dey road dey drag 500 naira trip with everybody.

mejai:
We shall all get there o... I mean the age.
And Gentlelife50 no go like this.

Lol old age no be automatic sense oo.

thoollz:
Guyman u did well, let's reason this thing sef, were they expecting you to move that far without clicking on the start trip button? Once you are in my car, it's automatic I start the trip from my side, Nigerians just like trouble sha.

Upon say I arrived when they entered my car oo, and they saw notification that I have oo.

Barbiturate:
You're wise and very matured upstairs.

I'm sorry sir. You were on call when I started the trip. I started at so so time. Case don finish!

I'll say it again; they will give you shit because they feel they are paying for your service......just be humble! Sorry goes a long way! Pride destroys a lot.

It's not about maturity, I have the right to decline you service if its not worth it, you can't mess with me mentally and expect me to continue with the trip while also accusing me of fraud. One day you go chop exactly same breakfast and you'll narrate it here.

Ghost1994:
Bros with this your explanations, in my own humble I don’t think those guys have done something really wrong that will warrant you dropping them at the express.

Have encountered several riders that’ll claim that oga I don’t know when you start your trip with attitude but the best response from my side will be: sir/ma seems you’re carried away with your call/whatever he or she was doing before I started the trip.

I’ll keep my mouth shut till we get to the final destination to avoid any arguments.

Most of the times we drivers put emotions and overreact based on the experience we encounter with probably the last rider or frustrated Lastma.

All in all, we’re here to make money but you lose 8klm from where you picked them to the express you dropped them off

In all fairness, I was VERY RIGHT to drop them, when that talk started about not showing them, the other mumu said, "sebi I wasn't on call, how did I not see" and point plank I told him, if you weren't keenly following your friends' conversation you would have heard me, as i don't need to shout, I lifted up my phone, showed them at the back and explicitly told them I'm starting, but the problem the other was talking about on phone thats making him agitated was logistics, I sure wasn't the one supposed to pick them up as the got messed up by the company's driver, but baba wan transfer aggression ontop my head, I stood firm and ordered them down. They were saying all sorts of rubbish, that it's how we do and whatnot

8km? If it was about that, na to dey jump Okada and bus go visit my friends for abule egba and ogba cos I no wan lose fuel,

I don't want a situation where after calming them down and continuing the trip, and the fare is a bit different from the estimate we go start wahala, so I cut it short immediately, I can't asslick cos they're old men in their late 40s to early 50s. If they were younger, I would have put them through, make another person teach them abeg.

They felt entitled, and I said, not in my goddamn car.

.

My experience yesterday! While I was angry there wasn't surge and na small 9h trips popping upandan, ended a trip on Osolo way and immediately a 1.6x request to V.I popped up, sharperly I turned, called the man to know his exact spot, but the way he replied on the phone was somehow rude, I ignored cos 1 million this December.

Got to pu at chicken republic, he was busy checking out my car, plate number and all, I was just laughing, he hopped in with his friend, both putting on senator wears, I dey happy say na better people, immediately the hopped in, I swiped arrived, then proceeded to find my way out to the road. As soon as I positioned on my lane I showed them at the back that I'm starting he trip, but it seems they were both carried away cos the orderer was on a call and ranting like mad. But I'm less concerned cos my own na kowope.

Immediately we climbed the oshodi bridge and right in the middle baba just said that "Oga you didn't even show us you were starting the trip" my head rang aloud immediately, Omo I change am for am oo, told him if he wasn't aware when the app told him I've arrived in the car, baba still dey talk say I should have told him. I say no be you go spoil my day, oya I'm not going again, come down biko, we were just passed lasma office to the front, baba say I should take them to bus stop, I say No, I manage take dem a little before we climb the bridge, dropped their senator wearing asses in the hot sun and zoomed off. Went straight to gbagada, and made a comprehensive report and still told them they didn't pay before bolt go block me unnecessarily. Omo mad people dey Lagos oo, but the next rider was so full of joy, a lady and we gisted till we got to her destination at ikeja.

Ejoor how much is renewal of car documents now, cos I heard there's no grace period whatsoever. My documents expired yesterday.

Flamemignon1:
I'm not talking about his tweets. I came across his IG and in a now deleted post, he said it was a prank and it was for Halloween

Go check his Twitter handle bro, and see for yourself.

Flamemignon1:
The blogger gave you an half baked yellow journalism and you thoroughly ingested it

Lool, please say something else bro, you're the one defending a lie, the blogger is actually right, go through his TL to see the truth.

Flamemignon1:
He actually did it as a joke, he's straight and this was for the recent Halloween

Please show me where he did it as a joke, I'm waiting... someone has accepted who he is and you're here defending what is not.

davit:

BAZ001:
Pls what’s d code to sub 40G for 5k on mtn
Or mtn dey scam me ?

But you must be on betrayals. The sweetest part of this plan is that you get 13k for calls, which lasts for a week though after the 5k subscription.

Pearl1910:
Which plan is this Sir?

You need to be on mtn beta talk before you can activate this plan, its actually 20GB + 16GB bonus and 4GB for YouTube.

Once you've migrated to betatalk, use the mtn app and you'll see a button with Mega deal zone, check the contents and see the one that suits you, 3500 for 24GB also

Lollll that was how a rider preached to me from beginning to the end of trip and along the way she kept boasting that if I decided to give my life to christ she would pray with me and I would start speaking in tongues immediately.
We got to her destination and there was heavy downpour so we had to both relax in the car, because of boredom and out of curiosity I asked about the speaking in tongues again, she said she received hers on the phone (someone prayed for her from abroad) and everybody she has prayed for started speaking in tongues immediately.
Me: Oya, I want to give my life to christ
Rider: let us pray
She started praying and I was saying amen with my eyes open as I wanted to see how the spirit would be released
After a while
Rider: start speaking
Me: (just like that? )
Rider: it may not make sense but just open your mouth and speak
Me: I opened my mouth it was amen that was coming out
Rider; put more effort
Me: I just closed my mouth, no more amen sef
Rider: (after noticing I no longer give a damn) you will still receive it, maybe yours is slow. I will be calling you everyday

I am still waiting for the first call

This same thing happened to me when I was invited by a lady to fountain of life church's crossover service.

Pastor Taiwo say everyone should begin praying in tongues, Omo! Na party scatter oo, whether na curse sef i don't know, I was just mute, till dey announced that if you don't know how to pray in tongues please come to the altar, na so this girl push me go oo.

Getting to the altar different pastors were in charge and when it was my turn he asked if I was born again, I said no, he asked if I would like to be, told him I'm not sure. Baba proceeded to ask me to repeat some words after him which I did, after the recitation, Baba hold my head, blow breeze and said I should start speaking in tongues, omo I bow my head, smiled and started saying names of football clubs in Czech Republic Poland and Lithuania. Next thing baba said was that I know you don't understand what you're saying right now, but when you've joined a ministry we'll cultivate it for you.
