Make una dey try use correct english abeg. Some of una english dey cause headache.There is nothing like sticked to. Use stuck not sticked.
Also know when to use full-stops and comma. After that your gbagaun sticked to, a full stop should follow and not a comma. Same issue after you still owe me MF.
I come in peace.

E come be like say na come in opposite.

Barbiturate:
Heard cars were not allowed to enter or go out of banana due to the protest against the demolition of their club. So it caused serious traffic on Alexander to link bridge and other surrounding areas

Lagos and wahala everyday.
I just say make I check how road be on Gmap, na so I see red for there.
It is well.


Much respect, boss.

Wetin dey happen for island this morning again?
Why everywhere red like pepper?

Omoapena:
in essence, you're actually making money but your bad car is the one taking most of it, someone using a very sound car won't experience what you're experiencing.

The car might even be in perfect condition, but the question should be: when was the last time he spent such amount on maintenance, and was it on the same issue?
You know say some people go dey cash out steadily and when the tool they use come ask for small maintenance, complain go burst out and dem go start to dey condemn the hustle.
Like say the tool suppose work till the end of time without requiring any anything at all. 😁😁😁


Much respect, baba.

Barbiturate:
They will come for you!
Let me guess the line......"he's not using the right tool"

I have spent over 200k in a month fixing my car. If it's not engine, it's cranshaft or cranshaft sensor. Just changed tyres this afternoon. Got a trip on bolt to ajah for 16k. Another from Ajah to Anthony village 17500. I don dey happy say the day is going well until tyre kpafuka. 50k don go for tyre and alignment.

Don't get it twisted....people are making millions in this same hustle 😊

@the bold, would you spend this same amount next month?
Nobody go come for anybody on top say person talk about wetin everybody dey face in the hustle that is normal.
Na when someone come and condemn the hustle wahala dey gas, which I no dey get myself involved, anyways.
Na encouragement that brother needs, no discouragement.
Cos no matter what one expended in a month, you go make your money back in multiple folds in that month.
God no go shame us.

Much respect, boss.

Sure, maintenance is the soul of the hustle, but all those things you fixed, no matter the amount, you won't do them every week.

Maybe in the next 8 - 10 months, you won't touch those things you just fixed.

Now, tell us, would you make your money back in multiple folds or not?

It's a business like every other out there, there is always cost of maintenance.

Move on, boss.

Djdamian:
But why should this be the case?

Why should an owner cry for entrusting a vehicle to someone to make a living for himself and in return pay a certain commission to the owner? Are you implying that all drivers are wired mentally to cause pain to owners?

@the bold - no, sir.
That's why I didn't generalize by using 'SOME'.
Some people don't know how to pamper and take care of a car.
If you see the way they use cars ehn, and when it starts demanding for huge cost of maintenance, na there wahala go start.
Owner would be forced to drop huge money due to agreement while the driver balanced it up, whereas, drivers dey make x3 of the remittance.
As time goes on, owner go dey vex say maintenance dey collect all his money while him driver dey ball - but agreement is agreement nah - 50/50, 60/40 - 40/60? .
The worst of it all na drivers wey no sabi save - that one go ruin the car, the owner and himself and end in premium crying.

When I was doing rental, the only major thing my oga did on the car was buying me a new DC radiator (30k+ plus fixing), when the one inside got weakened, I took the whole of maintenance upon myself.
Na me dey take care of everything till I bought the car from the person.

Now, the question is, how many drivers can take 80% of maintenance on rental agreement knowing fully well that he's saving x2 or x3 of his remittance?

They would rather make owners purge the money out until he gets frustrated.

Mind you, na the driver dey abuse the car.

But some who get fear of God go give their owner peace of mind.

Some, not all.



Much respect, sir.

Obedibombedi:
My OOTT, na joke i dey ooo.
Driver-partners are the crux of this hustle.
Whether owners like it or nay.

Abi oooh.
It is well...

Omoapena:
lol, that cry is unavoidable, if you like collect 10k weekly, you go still cry.

Obedibombedi:
Rental fee dusted this morning.
And someone expects me to not demand 100k weekly
Not gonna happen

Make Una leave rental guys alone nahh.
Whether u demand 100k or 50k for weekly remittance, some drivers go still make some owner-partners cry, but crying get levels.
There is premium cry and low-budget cry.
Na you go choose yours.


Much respect, boss.

Omoapena:
see the foolish girl, happens she's just an hair stylist and a make up artist sleeping around with officers and feels she can intimidate people cox she knows officers, e pain me say I no hit record for my camera.

This gender shaaaa. Dey too dey do.
She wanted to intimidate our mushin legend because she dey 4nicate with a uniform man?
Sorry for the experience, boss.
I can imagine how frustrating it would have been.
I'm sure say all drivers dey encounter her type once in a while.
Despite their attitudes sometimes, me self no understand why I prefer taking them than taking male riders.
From the time she show dat negative spirit at the PU point against the 'paid waiting', if na me, I go cancel the trip straight and drive off.
Me I no dey take nonsense again ooh.
Lastly, some places I no go ever pick riders, that Sam Ethan Airforce base dey among - including ICM, Ikeja Cantonment, Bonny camp.
I've only taken a trip to that Ethan once, cos I just wanted to see how that place looked like, since I neva enter there before.
Omoh, it is well.

Much respect, sir.

Omoapena:

davit:

Barbiturate:

Are you talking about car here, or make I mind my business with my dirty mind?


Much respect, sir.

Barbiturate:
How is the traffic now? Can someone go now, abi make person just dey mainland. I'm seeing trips to the island

I dey always check all Lagos roads on Gmap before going out, or picking a new ride order.
I don't joke with this.

Much respect, boss.

AutoTechDoyz:
Omo I pity them.

It is well. 🙁

Much respect, sir.

XGhost:
Was in the traffic... when I accepted the trip I thought, worst case scenario I'll finish by 6 and head home. I'm completely knackered

Inside life. 😟

AutoTechDoyz:
Omo Lagos drivers wey don enter that island traffic this morning, ehn, go nearly cry. One thing I don't miss about Lagos.

Baba, my heart was weeping for those who were in that traffic.
I dey house dey view the map and I was shocked.
Have we ever had it that bad on the island? 😮
I'm not driving until Friday.
My sympathy goes to those who drove today, una be the real MVPs. 🫡


Much respect, sir.

Jaysharp:
Good day comrades,
Please is this car suitable for e hailing?

A fantastic tool.
Enjoy the adventure.

Much respect, baba.

Omoapena:
indrive riders will never seize to amaze me, you made a request and put 7k, but you didn't get anyone to accept your offer for over 40mins then you went ahead to now reduce the price to 5k🤦‍♂️


the one that even annoy me most is the one where 2 or more people going together will be requesting from same PU to same destination with same offer, like don't they know drivers can see all the requests from different person 🤦‍♂️

Na weyrey full indrive app.


Much respect, baba.

SHOOPSYN:
I saw a Tiktok video of a guy that was fined at 3:50am on that MBA road, same thing he said, will he be moving slow at midnight. But I still believe the fines is extortion because no road sign whatsoever, atimes you forget speed limit when you are in hurry. Imagine, Omoapena was fined at 65km/phr. Moreso, 80km/hr on 3MB is not fair for such highway.

Thank you, my brother.
One this I know be say, sooner or later, this stuff go cause wahala between motorists and the officials (law).
Cos clearly, it is pure extortion.
That 80km on 3mb dey vex me, feels unreasonable.

Much respect, boss.

Omoapena:
my brother, I can't tell of other places but you see that Maryland one, avoid it like a plague, that one dey work 24/7.

It is well.

Much respect, sir.

Omoapena:
not everyone is aware of the speeding camera or the enforcement yet, by the time VIO stops them or they want to renew their papers, that's when they will know...

Inside life.
But at night, just like most traffic lights stop functioning that you can drive without their caution, shey the speed limits also stand on late night driving?
Like, one would still get captured if they exceed the speed limit even if say na late hour for night?

Much respect, sir.

I just remember something now.
Abeg, this speed limit of a thing, doesn't it also count on night driving?
Cos I notice say people dey speed anyhow at night on 3mb while me go dey trek with my < 80km/hr motion.

Much respect, bosses.

When that lagride came, some drivers were already pissing in their pants that it would ground Uber/Bolt/Indrive.
But with my little understanding of e-hailing as at then, I made a stand that lagride would never succeed.
I talk am here that time nah.
Lagride kó, Caprice ni.
I just feel for those who had been paying already, anything government like this, na fraud.
I have no single trust in this government.

Much respect, bosses.

Wetin dem dey take palm oil do?
They want to make soup? 😁😁😁

tojahh:
No be to hold buy suit and tie like this so?
This short Nika wey I dey wear maybe na why them no dey dash me money o

Smiles. 😂

Much respect, sir.

I picked one order where I was positioned around kajola road, Iju ishaga.
Upon arriving at the PU, the security opened the compound gate for me to drive in.
Due to the narrow compound, I made a turning to drive in with reverse but unfortunately, there was a sharp protruding rail at their entrance, punctured my tyre and damaged it instantly.
While the madam dey blast the security say dem never fix that sharp rail since, me I just dey sober inside of me say which kind wahala be this...
Buyin a new tyre just dey ring in my head.
So, while I was trying to replace the tyre with my extra, the madam say make she call her tyre guy that we go sort the money 50/50... I happy small say well, I no lose much be that.
Tyre guy came with two types and I chose one.
We got a vulcanizer, tyre fixed and madam say make I no bother that she would sort everything.
Omoh, I happy die.
The points the woman raised as her consideration were;
1) That all through the moment of the incident from be beginning, I was very calm and had no reaction at all, and I was very patient.

2) That since she had been ordering on "In drive", my car was the only clean and neat car she would ever see.

3) That the way I looked and dressed was very nice and attractive.

I appreciated her compliments and took her people to the destination on the app - Victoria Island.
When we go to the destination, madam sent me money and still added 10k extra.
That really brightened my mood. Me wey fasting dey hold my blokos already.


Much respect, bosses.
