[b]The request came in around 11:45am today, I accepted it and drove off to the pickup location upon my arrival, my rider to pickup was completely naked as in no bra, no panties and no cloths on her, 2 other women in her company said pls allow her in ur vehicle and let's drive to area G police station, it was a dangerous case, I rejected and said no way I can never drive in such condition then the two women in the naked woman's company brought out their ID and said police dectective, your are obliged to obey and drive off to the police station as we av a very serious criminal case to handle, you are however mandated to obey our command as your service is urgently required by the Nigerian law
I said thank God I am not in trouble today they all came in and I drove off, while on the trip I informed all my riders that by uber law, no one should be allowed into my vehicle in such condition most especially when I feel unsafe to drive my rider to their destination
They all kept quiet no comment, after I ended the trip, the pay was 900 NAIRA, the detective just gave me 1,500 and said you are free to leave now, upon reaching the station gate, I heard a very loud gunshot gbosha gbosha gbosha 3ice, I looked back and I saw the woman arrested already dead on the floor...

These remind me, of one request I got sometime last year, got to pick up location, called the lady that I have arrived, she came out after 15min of my arrival, by then I had already put off my engine and AC, she got in, I wanted to start the car and start the trip, she said my friend is coming too, so I did not start the car again, she started complaining that I should put on the AC as the car is so hot, I told her that means am starting the trip, she said no don't start the trip, just put on the AC first so when her friend comes out, I will start trip, I refused, she was just murmuring Nawao this kind of driver self, she could not talk to me, I knew 1 star awaited me after the trip, waited like extra 5min, I told her am cancelling as I can't continue waiting for her friend, she said oya start the trip, I looked at her and am not going infact request another ride,
coz I have cancelled, you can't come and spoil my rating

Got a request on Uber, pick up point was Osborne II, got to the location, packed under a shade and turned the engine off. After like 6mins, the woman came out, got into my car and asked me to wait that someone is bringing something for her inside the house, and I said OK. She asked me to start the car and put on the AC while we wait and I told her that means I'm gonna start the trip while we wait and to my biggest surprise, she said and I quote; "isn't the trip already started? The trip should have started immediately you accepted the request" and I said it doesn't work that way. after every, the woman tip me 1k

What is it with you guys and condescending attitude towards your riders, these riders are the ones paying your bills ffs. Doesn't matter if he is paying you N500, they are your customers and deserve every respect even if you feel they are underserving of it.

To think these are the same guys who will enter the bank and rain insults on tellers and customer service officers when they have issues with their almost empty account. We don't see tellers ranting, they simply apologise and pacify them.

If you know you have issues with your self esteem, please quit ehailing. You're a graduate doing ehailing, so what?

See them claiming for a raise in fare, so you want me to pay premium fare while you use your dirty, bland and ugly corolla to come pick me? You guys are just jokers.

Live what.?. RAM and COW inside uber, and you must put on AC for them

My own experience was a particular day at lekki chicken republic to be precise after the place restaurant. A rider requested and on getting to the pick up location believe me that this person wanted to put frozen chickens as in frozen chicken dripping the melted water on the floor. I told him I can't he asked why I said it gonna give my car offensive smell and I can't allow that he replied and said that's how other drivers do pick him saying I'm the first person to reject his request.

At this point it came back to my memory where riders in my car while discussing tells me that cars on uber and taxify now have bad odour and smell as well as mosquitoes bitting them in a car.

Each riders always comment on the neatness of my car.

Another incident was a request on the mainland around Mangoro when the rider had a live ram as in live cow requesting me to open the trunk for him to put a life ram and cow in my car.

Believe me people now abuse using uber and taxify all because everybody I mean majority can now afford to request because of the little amount at the end if the trip.

Na wa o ooo.

Lolzz, don't mind them. One day I got an Uber request at one event center at VI. I drove straight to the place and saw some guys bringing out cooking utensils, big coolers, unwashed plates dripping oil that were used during the event. I called the person that requested she said her boys are there and that she's packing some things inside I just laughed. I didn't tell her I can't carry her stuffs because she will tell me to cancel immediately and I won't shop the cancellation fee. I patiently waited for five minutes to elapse boom I started madam these load is too much for an Uber car naa, she said then why are u still waiting cancel it. See this woman na so I just enter my car and cancelled immediately.
My problem is they won't even appreciate after all, they think as a driver u are supposed to carry anything load.
Some guys rated me 1star because they took me through a rough road only for them to command me Oga open Boot, I came down telling them I want to see what they are loading inside my boot. And it was that iron they used to roast suya they managed to squeeze it inside my boot and the Boot was left open I begged them to add something they said it's a card trip and they have no cash.

It's so painfully painful that they rated me low because of what happened.
Since then no more nonsense load or we negotiate

Some people will carry cooler of rice, beans and soup plus other items on top 600 naira fare, still go lounge for owners corner. Even keke marwa will charge higher. Abeg free the driver.
When I see people like that, I tell them I’m sorry I won’t be able to carry the load. Most of them always beg for offline and pay a better fare.
Ur 600 naira will not fix my absorbers

Epphy:
Since he lied/defrauded you, if you like, you can report to Uber. However, you can be kind enough to forgive him as a bigger person & see the 1k as a tip.

Yababoy:
Its in Lagos....Price is 1.9m

osars:
I was charged extra for load and it didn't reflect on the receipt?

They are still here with us, if you know you know.
But seriously, you need to understand that business advice is given here in anectodal manner, but it's advice that should be taken seriously.
Note that conversing anectodally is the culture, not just on this thread, but on Nairaland generally; and of course, in the Nigerian society.

No offence meant, please.

dantewest:
On what grounds are you judging the young man?

Is it because of his other interests he has as shown on his previous nairaland posts or you people have previous history?

I'm curious

emmancecute:

Leave them as the thing still dey sweet them because them still young, By the time them enter 50yrs+ When Stroke and other Ailments dey show face. Them go understand say Khaki no be Leather through through.

franksam2009:
the guy too mumu lol ,. It's possible he has other motives sha

uchemac2:
Don'tmind all these ones forming James bond and misleading people. Nothing is as it seems. There are expenses to be made, bills to be paid. I guess they don't know the meaging of contingency. .. Leave talk for matthias if you are doing well, na for your pocket. If you are not God help you. Las las, we go dey alright

Gentlelife50:
We no go quarrel today?

chucsmoore:
Bro nice one. I got an offline too worth of 12k today. Ketu - Akute, Akute-ketu, ketu - ikorodu within 3 hours completed. It's all Gods grace. He deserves all d Thanks

Tgiirl:
Lols...

Me self get time to note my expenses in my jotter...

More reason I laugh at those claiming 120k net.. good luck on that....

jaybim:
I think one of the places guys miss it is thos point you raised. Suppose you were doing a 9 to 5 and earning 140k a month. Note thats that's what you have if you net 35k weekly. You'll fall sick like every other person, your house rent, fix car, feeding and all other bills will come out of the salary so wheres the big difference. If you save like everyone else you'll most likely live like everyone else. On the flip side, how many people actually earn 140k a month? Not as many as you'd expect.
Driving means I'm always liquid, like one man I carried some time ago (He owns a school in festac) who also drives part time said "its like having a tree that grows money". This may not be accurate but i got the picture.
Also talking about tolls, shebi na rider de pay, your toll payment is reimbursed na...abi? So i dont get it when guys calculate tolls as part of their OpEx.
That's my account book and book keeping system

mistadayo:
I've been on a trip since 12.... Guinea insurance markers booked me. We have gone round Lagos o. I don tire. And they only put gbagada. Thank God it's card trip and Uber. I must make over 10k from this trip.

Tgiirl:
I'm sorry to disappoint You, net earning is the same as net profit

Please, what makes it net?

If you 're considering debuting commissions only, u 're so wrong

Tgiirl:
288, 895 / 4 weeks = 72,223 - fuel = net

My point

brogxy:
Don't blame him, e-hailing has affected both drivers and riders thought.
Like one rider negotiating N3k for ipaja - ifo just because Uber app was charging N2.5k atmost.

BillGoldberg:
You guys are daft. That same screenshot from chucsmoore was during Christmas because I remember him vividly posting it during Christmas last year!!!

Surge was high and drivers were using Lockitor a lot on Non Lagosians who were in town then. Lockitor is the mock location app you guys use for salt and pepper and make such amount. Everything will now be double or even triple depending on how much jaga jaga or line tou draw. Lets now shake this table properly!!

To end this argument, let that 377 guy post a acreenshot of that amount yesterday alone. I will give him 10k and stop posting on this thread!!?

Gentlelife50:
Maybe you forgot what led to his posting the figure you saw but let me not appear a bad belle I won't reply u again
