Something happened this afternoon on my way from church, wanted to fuel my car at mobil along airport road, got down from the car with the engine running, my lil bro was in the car with wifey.

Gave my card to the attendant 5k fuel, he inserted his nozzle, immediately my brother called my attention to the fact that the engine was still running, I comot eyes as I no want make dem scam me, immediately the attendant asked me to switch off the engine, my spirit say this guy wan scam me, as I didn't even like his face.

Checked the meter before proceeding to switch my engine off, meter was at 90, as I switched off and faced the meter, suddenly it became 975, I tell my guy say wetin happen, werey say na gas tank wey dem.on cause him own meter to stop, I didn't say anything, werey balance me 4025, I checked my gauge it was not complete, na so I tear for am say he must complete my fuel oo, na so one of him partners came, probably the supervisor, baba tell am straight up that he'll pay for the fuel and he helped me fill 1k again.

Moral of my story is shine ya eyes, these attendants are not your friends.

[quote author=dru23 post=103595770][/quote]I still have it available for sale oo, any publicity at all is good publicity.

Interested peeps should contact me.

Nope, the stadium side linking to college road.

Now I see d Gee in d zyk, u r mouthed... no worry, we go arrange d table back

Pearl1910:
Guys, as a partner-driver, just like u enjoy all your earnings without remitting to anybody, u are also soley responsible for all repairs and maintainance cost of your car.
But my question this morning is which is more painful, between the cost of repairs and the loss of income due to repairs downtime?

For me, it's definitely the cost of repairs oo, you might have been saving the little you can, and then the car develops a fault, then.you have to dig into your savings to repair the fault, once I dig in for repairs, I just lost motivation for a day or 2, then work my ass back up.

pope191:
I didn't need to say dis mama, but on the second tot I feel it's ok to air it regardless. People that never contributed will always take advantage of offers like this for reasons that may seem outrageous. The love in here is not bright, majority of the known moniker's are being mindful and honestly not interested, opinions and reserved opinions are not just mere cruise and let's leave it the way it is for the love of one house, but it becomes unhealthy chain of reactions. Secondly, there is chances of me as a driver having friends that go as 150k in a week and reach out to him to come so and so place, one Dru wants to share money, boom they rush up, upload, claim price and like air, they r gone, they were never part of the fun, fight and buzz here. Do u blame them? No! Someone here hits d alert on them and most known monikers here may not even have interest in any of this.

To everyone, no gesture of offence, it's been fun and I wish we can keep the tempo, we may catch cruise, but purge ourselves of every form of hatred and find healing where need be, heal whatever pain one of us ( if there's us) may have done to each other. Needless for insults as well, yabbing and insults are not the same and for those saying no stories from the previous pages, just jonzing. I'll speak for myself, I've shared countless stories over and over, but someone that have never share one in the name of silent reader is having an opinion (that's funny), why not lead by sharing one, instead of talking down on folks that are embalming the platform. If we all keep silent like the so called silent readers, they won't even b a post to read in the first place. Oga Dru will b so bored

Nice work Baz001 and geekyz I receive block cos of you on Sunday

Good morning everyone?

Baba it's not my handwriting oo.

I've always been a silent reader here till I started the hustle, I believe everyone is mature enough to know when its Cruise and otherwise, one thing I like most of the regular commentators on here is the fact that no matter how heated the argument is, we all find a way to laugh at the end, and its no hard feelings.

Dru, pope, feli, bazz and the rest i can't really remember keep this thread alive with experiences, memories and whatnot. We learn one or 2 here everyday through to the stage where know we're filled.

Regarding the giveaway, I bet you, regular commentators on this thread won't post their dashboard, not that they don't want to, but the fact remains that whatever you say on here can be used against you in the near future, and moreover they don't wanna go against their no posting of dashboard rules. Ballers dey here oo.

But then, it's a good way to motivate drivers by the giveaway, but regular commentators suppose get inside cos they keep this thread alive regardless of their dashboard. How outsiders go dey come chop my family food nah.

Good job guys.

pope191:
U that is still chasing bonus up nd down, how many 7 up u use ur teeth open again for d last family meeting?

If I can count correctly, probably 2 crates cos dem too get extended family.

Pope your mouth no good at all.

ifec92:
Guys please be careful out there..I was robbed on apapa oshodi expressway few days ago…it was around 3:14pm inside traffic…they took all my money

Thank God for life

Which section of the expressway? Oshodi, ladipo, isolo, cele or which side.

pope191:
Boss we been hold u in high esteem, no they Fall our hands like this. All ur write up is honestly not making any sense, all you say is you r going to make profit in the long run, yet you still say I might wonder how you make profit, is it not in long run again? you are in USA, we thank God on behalf of you, how is life over there in Jupiter? Do they give u cars for free dia? If no, in good faith state ur total cost of landing a car to earth and puttin it up to ur deceptive "uber standard".

Naija used won't last 6 months on a lucky hand, and mine is going 2 yrs now, whose report do u want me to believe like this?


You get money pass me Dangote self get money pass u, nah so me self take get money pass Baz001. Is there any sense in this? 7 billion people on the face of the earth with 7 billion different realities. Wake up menh! Wetin face me nah d back u go deh see. No emotions, just reality, if I go emotional on u, I'll use foul words.

U say a busines man will never reveal his trade secret? And you measure or access me within the horizon of ur window? U still support someone displaying dashboard here, that's dumb boss, get of dat powder, it zaps thinking

Na only few people know the meaning of this meme wey you post oo.

You just break table wey everybody dey manage, table wey people dey break small small, e reach you turn you demolish am.

Felicity0001:
Yeah I've noticed something because I really don't know how this their commission thing works.

In two different occassion I topped up 1k each and my balance was showing -N550.

Current balance started same way now see my balance.

That -999 is the amount you're owing them, while that 1444 balance is what they're owning you, probably you accepted a request and canceled afterwards, the money is deducted from your main balance.
You still have 445 as your main balance though.

Be like indriver is now giving out ride request even if you're owing them commission. Been owing them almost 1k now and I still dey receive requests, this is really a good thing coming from them though.

This bolt tariff increase na dust, imagine from Orchid road ikeja bus terminal ended 4700, with that mad traffic yesterday on the 3rd mainland oo, used almost 3hrs but indriver is very lucrative on the island, took a trip from Orchid to toyin for 4800 today, smooth journey, just only that Maryland traffic.

One has to work smart on this hustle oo, or else.

IFSHR:
Guys lets be careful out there..

Just saw on instablog....2 riders on bolt almost killed their driver. One sat at the back and one at the front....na from back the rider use rope tie the driver neck, after much struggle and disfiguring of the drivers face he sha managed to escape but the two riders zoomed off with his car.... All happened in PH last night..

I pray God's protection on us always....I don't work late into the night though...but anything wey go make me pick rider for late night....if it's two guys I am canceling immediately. And if na just a guy, if u are too big to sit beside me, you will have to order another ride...infact for me o going forward any late night trip, I won't pick more than a passenger except the other riders are kids.

God protection on us always...let's be wise and vigilant

Baba mi, that's why no matter where I am by 6pm, I'm heading home, trip or no trip, home straight.

If God is watching us make we dey watch ourself too.

Una wey dey 3rd mainland bridge i hail oo.

Be like military police (MP) are now searching cars for military paraphernalia, saw them at charity oshodi today stopping cars with any military paraphernalia.

Felicity0001:
I like what you did but you shouldnt have dropped them off like that instead you should have cautioned her and ask her dad to talk to her daughter and any more word from her you have no other option but end the ride.


I had similar experience too some days back and I'd to stop and told her in not interested in going on the trip again but that one has sense so started begging instantly and finally we got to the airport even b4 the ETA and she waz happy then i told her "just try to be nice to drivers", she apologised again and I wished her save flight and las las she smile with a thank you.

Baba mi, most people going to the airport are generally rude, both genders and alphabet people. They're always in a rush, always complaining about your driving wanting you to speed to hell.

When she started complaining about the lady's voice on my maps being mute is where I know shell be a problem, complained about driving with one hand, started saying how will I know where to turn if I can't hear the voice, I just dey laugh, the father was mute through that, took me to a wrong route and still blamed me for the maps voice, father was mute.

Was even making a joke out of it all, but she carry wahala for head like tomato basket, the trip was to even take me home sef, but as she was rude, threatening me about not paying like say I be beggar,I dropped her off like a fly and left her to her woes and zoomed home with my speakers blazing.


I took one lady to the airport from osapa 2 weeks back, has a 6 o'clock flight and we left past 4, she was even calm that she'll meet up, but for one mad traffic at gbagada, told her I would take Maryland, she said oshodi through airport road will be faster to mm2, and the map was showing Maryland was fastest, I obliged and we got into another stand still after the airport toll gate, she wan mad, started complaining with her tiny voice, I felt bad too, but we got to the airport 5:56, she just dashed out, didn't pay and told me to text her my details, she paid extra before being boarded sha and we both texted and apologized later.

Got home and saw a key on my back seat, I just left it at home. Forward to 4 days later, a call came through and it was the same girl asking if I'd seen a key, omo I just laughed and said yes, she was happy, asked if I could bring it to her as it was her apartment's key, told her no issue, flight touched down 9:30 she called, I just left home to give her the key as I stay close to the airport, later on she did transfer of 3k for my troubles.

We're good friends now, airport waka na somehow sha.

pope191:
Its not good oo, so u will allow someone to miss her flight like that

That one concern her and her maker.

InfinityEstates:
Abeg people wey dey use iPhone, if you put your phone for "Do Not Disturb", if person call you, e dey be like say you block the person?

I get gist. I dey come...

Yes nah, na line busy till forever.

Got an offline trip from iwaya road to ijako after Sango for 15k, I quickly rushed it, journey was smooth after escaping Maryland traffic, ekoro through old Otta road, to burst out Sango under bridge was where I encountered bad roads it was now raining heavily again, omo my car suffer oo, I sha managed to drop rider.

On my way back got a trip to ikeja, rider is just before Sango bridge, I accepted, came out with her dad and sis, started trip she now said I should drive fast (first red flag) that she doesn't wanna miss her flight, I was just laughing cos everywhere na red light, followed the bridge to toll gate, mad hold up there, turned back to follow the oju ore road as she directed. Later she started complain that I was driving with one hand, that my Google map is supposed to be talking out loud, I know say I don enter am today.

I was just silent and didn't oblige her, on the way the map directed me to a round about, as I was about taking a turn she said its a wrong way, told her the map was correct she said its the other way that if the voice was on she would have directed me well, she started shouting and the father couldn't even caution her, followed the way she directed, and we were headed towards where we were coming from, she started shouting again, I tuned and went back to where the map suggested and told it to her face that the map is almost never wrong, she begin shout again oo.

Wetin pain me pass was when she said if her fare increases more than what she saw she wasn't gonna pay me. Omo! I just park for one side and told them I'm not going anymore she started shouting that if I ended the trip ill not collect shishi, I said its fine, abeg you and your family should getat. I reported her immediately to bolt and left her there.

Most of these girls are uncouth, but you just need to exercise patience. I wan see how she no go miss that flight today.

emmancecute:
bro, if na biggy your money reach, buy am without blinking. Just know the pros and cons of the car. Corolla sef get im own wahala, I used big daddy for 9 months on ehailing and no major issue. The issue with the car is engine shorts oil and you might need to top up oil with 1 ltr weekly. For your information, the 03/04 is more rugged for the hustle than the 05/06 cos of the 10pin gearbox as against the sensitive 13pin in the latter. Corolla sef na thief magnet, and e dey spoil too.

My own 03/04 no dey short oil at all, maybe cos I'm using a synthetic sha oo.

Download samsung smart switch on your system, connect your cable and plug your phone, it'll search for system update, if it doesn't work, you have to flash it to android 10 using Odin.

Abeg I on app today , I dey see only 1 category which is bolt. Abeg anybody experiencing such. Bolt is even owning me 1200 self

Personally, I won't buy a car previously used in Nigeria as taxi.

Baba na luck oo, my own car just be like toks and na naija used, previous owner barely drives it, he's an old man, said his son bought it for him and baba really didn't like it, dem never lose any bold from the vehicle before, used for like 6 months before getting into uberbolt, since then ehn, na repairs back to back, shocks, linkages, brake master, are the major things I've changed, engine excellent. Ac mad gan. When I changed the brake pads, it was still the one used while the car was in jand.

Buying naija used na luck oo.

Pearl1910:
Baba...if it's in ur control, u know u will finish in d said time...not when it's not in ur control, like waiting in line to be attended to. She knows she will definitely not be ready before the driver arrives.
Secondly, I am being sarcstic about 30mins...which driver will drive 30minutes journey to pick up

walahi I did yesterday oo, bariga road to unilag, mad traffic over 30mins
