Bottom line, if you can, just jejely stay at home. If not to avoid stress on the road, to protect your cars.

The situation in Lagos right now is very volatile and anything can happen. Make some hoodlums no come damage person small source of income all in the name of protests.

Babadee1900:
Sangotedo now...
Going back home.....

Na wa o. Boss do you have any idea if there would be protests on that road today?

Y1nka:
Urgently needed, a rewire along lekki epe axis abeg.

Very urgent.


Needed at Abraham Adesanya precisely

Have you gotten one now?

Babadee1900:
Any heads up with this issue bro?

Not yet o... They scanned it on Saturday and CLEARED the codes. Said I should drive it this weekend to observe if it would improve but it apparently hasn't. Na to continue the matter next week. Thanks for your concern.

GAZZUZZ:
The car get name and model?

Corolla 2006

Babadee1900:
Guys avoid Thera Annex as much as you can. The water around that axis is much, if I knew that it rained overnight I would not drive today. Imagine that water removed my front grill while I was driving out around 5am.

I did not see my neighbors car in the compound this morning when I was leaving, I thought baba went to club, only to see the car sitting elegant inside the water on the way out. Tokunbo 2010 Camry wey never reach one month that he bought it.

If you like your car, avoid that area....anything OGOMBO!

Sorry Boss, I didn't know it rained last night too till I drove out this morning. But my area never bad reach your side...

Meanwhile guys, here's my challenge. So my car engine (COROLLA 2006) got too bad about last month and I opted for changing it as against "ringing". Finally gathered the money to buy it this week.

However, one of my major challenges then apart from the 'usual' oil shortening, smoking and noise it was making was that if the car is parked anything more than 30minutes, I can't just start the car and drive away immediately. Once I start the car, it starts JERKING slightly after about 30seconds, then after like 5minutes it 'BALANCES' then I can drive away. If I try loading before the 5minutes elapses or before it balances, the car goes off and then I start the process again.

The thing is, I thought if the engine is changed the issue would be resolved but I thought wrong. The issue still persists, minus the noise and smoking. They tried scanning but the codes coming were P0016, 0300, 0310 (can't remember exactly).

Please if there's anyone with experience handling this, kindly assist.

Na so one day I got ride , near Obalende , all those tight streets ooo...I manage even navigate only to get there and the guy won load me with 4 hefty tires , no be car tire or even jeep, he was going to Vi ...trip won’t be more than 1000, I ask am how much he go add. Baba open mouth say 500....if you see the way I reversed and zoomed off eh

Annoyingly, most of these guys know it's more expensive to use all these cab guys or hire a truck.

The day I went to Ladipo to get some stuffs for my car, the least the cab guys were telling me was 18K. In my mind, how much things wey I buy wey I wan use 18K carry am

I ordered a ride, last last na 5K the guy carry am. Bolt actually estimated the ride to be 4,200, I think, but the guy wanted it offline, so I told him I'd pay 5K, which he was fine with. The road was super free that day so it was a win-win situation for both of us.

A rider wanted to put a full sized bed on my car, plus other luggage o. Nothing wey we no dey see for this work.

Talking about loud...

Let me share a very funny experience I had today.

I picked those 2 guys at prime-water Garden lekki destination was to a bank inside lekki then to ajah and back to prime water .

While they entered one of the guy was mixing a substance inside a Miranda bottle (I later discovered the said substance was "MD" as the guys called it so).

They sha was sipping the mixture while I drive them from point A to B and C...while heading back to prime water from Ajah..the guys request I put on AC..I obliged before we got to the free tollgate same guys asked I put it off.... They were just stretching up and down inside the car (MD at work I guess)...

Then their gist started becoming headless....even revealing their fraudulent activities without minding me as a 3rd party.

The real drama...

one of the guys while approaching freedom way said he is in a savage mode and if he handle anyone he will beat the person mercilessly, to which the other guy verbally approved....for my mind I just they reason make I sha drop this guys make them carry their wahala go.

The one sitting at the front all of a sudden start whistling at people and show them the waka sign...and if anyone waka back, he will say stop stop.... I sha central lock...while I was about entering prime water..this mad guy repeated same thing....and the guy at the end said "e b like say u dey craze" na him this guy just open door go meet the guy o....before I know the one at the back joined him...

I sha reverse to know what was happening ...getting to the scene my riders dey ground with blood coming from mouth and eyes o...

The security called the Tennant housing them...them sha settle the matter I collect my money waka

But really, you'll be surprised at the number of 'big men' who do these drugs (Loud, Colorado, SK, MD and other alphabets I can remember now). If you really want to know, just observe the number and kind of cars, and people that come out of these cars around Addo road, opposite that Ecobank area in the evening. That area is like the warehouse of drugs. If you are not observant, you wouldn't even know what's happening. It big business.

Anyway sha, na their life, nothing consine me...

[color=royalblue]Do you know the worst part?

Even if it was the riders that were cancelling on you, it will still affect your rating

If you cancel, e go affect am
If dem cancel, e go affect am

Any which way of cancellation, the rating is headed for the rocks [/color]

chucsmoore:
It counts bruv. If u can honour at least 90% of trip request u get in a week with good customer service especially card trips, see your rating increase Astronomically. The system is what does 65% of rating and riders do 35%.

Ohh... Didn't know this. I thought the rating was dependent on riders and Activity Score was for acceptance or cancellation of rides.

Well, that explains why my ratings dropped badly. I've been declining and cancelling a lot of trips of late. Today, I even tried not accepting a trip, I was thrown offline immediately with a teasing message telling me that another driver has accepted the trip...

These days, morale just low. Today, I just vex go offline go house after lots of cancellations.

It is well sha...

@ izzou thanks Boss.

chucsmoore:
Baba u offend person, I mean rider? and how many request do U decline and rider cancellations in a week. These things counts.

Do cancellations count for ratings? Me I don't understand again o...

My rating dropped from 4.90 to 4.70 in a space of two weeks. And I no too work like that o.

Long pickups, very low fares, traffic everywhere... Local man is tired. E be like say I go just hang boot for now.

Babadee1900:
Back to this...

I picked my rider from Doculand Awolowo road, cool working class guy. He asked politely that I drive a bit fast as he’s running late for an appointment somewhere around Ologolo.

I got to work and was moving swiftly in between cars, got to freedom way when I sighted a black corolla with tinted windows driving to march my pace, I thought he wanted to play and I was more than ready, he flashed his lights at me twice but I ignored him.

When we got to Jakande traffic light, he pulled up beside me, a police officer in full gears stepped out from the car and two other guys in mufti. I didn’t pay much attention to them until one of the guys in mufti stood in front my car brandishing handcuffs , I looked back at my rider he wasn’t using face mask, different thoughts began to run through my mind. The one with the cuffs came to my side and displayed his ID for me to see.

I was still trying to process everything when I noticed that my rider has already opened the door for one of them to come in. The one at my side later joined his colleague at the back seat leaving my rider in the middle. They ordered me to drive and follow the corolla.

They introduced their self and began to question the guy. Collected his phone.......

Interesting... Come finish the story o.

So it was Sangotedo market demolition that caused the traffic this morning. Why was the market demolished? Nigeria sef... Their matter don tire me o.

Felicity0001:
It is what It is. I've warn us about using the ikoyi link bridge b4 and how using the etag or any of the toll gates don't count, reason I stopped using that link bridge and using my tag as well because you won't be issued a receipt.

Dont be disappointed with the response from uber it's a normal thing and due process to take.

You don't expect your office to pay for any expenses that has no receipt.

Another thing is, the lekki-epe toll gate charges N230 or there about while the Ikoyi link toll charges N335 or so where as the rider pays N200 and N300 respectively. Meaning you're looking 2-3 toll pass in every N5000 recharge you do.

What then is the need for using an etag or ecard when one is paying commission from his pocket.

To my own understanding, Lekki-Epe toll is N200 normally, but N180 when using the e-tag while Ikoyi link bridge is N300. Or are there some hidden charges I don't know about?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So,

Headlamp: It is scarce sha. Someone told me 20k, but the rest told me 23k. I don't know if the 20k person is sure

Fender: They don't sell only one side. The price for both is 19k, but someone said I may see the passenger side for 14k...So it's best I buy both

Bumper: I saw 14k and 15k respectively

Radiator casing: They said it's radiator coat they know and it's 9500...I don't know if that's the casing...Help post the pictures biko[/color]

Thanks Boss... I went there myself this morning.
Posting receipt now for others who may want to get later... I got the fan casing for 7K...

Felicity0001:
Moral of the story ought to be, no matter the matter never ever take a case to police station

Very funny experience, you would have used your military guys to intimidate the guy by so doing he would have paid you right there or better still drive go one corner go settle the matter.

No matter how careful you're it will still happen if e won happen, las las na God! We live and survive bybhis grace my brother.

But wait oh, no be your hit sb the other day? If so, I think you should go see a pastor, alpha or aladura alagba for washing of head of head oh.

Anyways, sorry about your ordeal. May God c u tru.

Nope, no be me...

Oga watin happen? You get accident?

My brother, like they always say, no matter how careful you drive in Lagos, if you don't hit someone, someone would definitely hit you.

So on Tuesday evening I just drove out to get some few items at the mall. One AC repair guy was given a Highlander to fix. There was traffic and on the process of trying to negotiate to the express, he hit the vehicle in front of him. The owner of the vehicle came down and accessed the damage and it was not bad and so he drove off. Meanwhile the guy had already loaded the gear in reverse instead of drive and I was behind. The next thing I heard was "gba"!!!. Bumper, fender, headlamp (passenger side), radiator casing gone.

Oga ok o, as e don happen, how we wan take settle this matter now, the guy was saying BROS ABEG NO VEX.

In my mind, e be like say you dey mad.

Last last sha, made some calls, military guys came around, drove the two cars to the police station, owner had to come, he said he didn't have money and that the guy who drove the car should be made to pay and all.

Finally, he pleaded and settled, police collect their own and I'm left to fix my car.

Bottom line, no matter how careful you are, it could still happen, but still be careful.

P.S: When coming back home that same night, we saw a smashed corpse on the road. Head gone, intestines littered on the road. I nearly vomitted. Later saw the driver who hit the guy. Apparently, he ran away immediately the accident happened and later went to report himself that same night. Family of the victim said they didn't want a case so they settled. Less than 24hrs after the incident, the guy was released and he went home, but who don die don die.

Everyday you go out and come back, don't take it for granted. Just be grateful and be careful.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Friday is the next market day

Is it too late to check?[/color]

Not too late boss. If you have any reliable contact to help me purchase the items and send them over, it would be appreciated.
