This guy has paid his dues in ehailing

nofij:
Mr izzu I really like the way you address issues sha

deedee44:
Do you know his exact destination? How are you certain it's not one of the areas you mentioned above? Only he and the driver know

AntiBrutus:
Very wonderful. That person should be made to live in Abia state for life. While working as a civil servant...

Maybe Na Ikpeazu wife get the firm wey dey share the award.

the charge has already been reversed.
my anger is at employees and partners trying to defraud employers/partners

you are all complaining about uber, low returns, bad roads etc, as a justification for cheating uber
so if uber decides nigeria is not profitable and leaves, who loses?

you or them?

this is EXACTLY how nigerians destroy companies. they will all shout government, governors, but most of them are all scheming on how to cheat their employers into oblivion. they will tell you it is because they are hungry or some other story

deedee44:
The bolded may not be true. The driver might have had a bad experience with festac inner roads before, that's why I asked if he was willing to end the trip at the bus stop because majority of their inner roads are very bad.

AntiBrutus:
Go away joor!

AntiBrutus:
No, that is not what "WE" were defending.

The first person that hopped on his post like what I don't know, didn't even have a word for his colleague. You guys signed a pact to defend yourself in every or what?

ornicus:
You are still missing it.
If I called you directly. Then it is a transaction between the two of us. if I call you via Uber, it is a transaction between myself and Uber. once you meet me you say, forget Uber let's do this ourselves you are defrauding your partner. Uber gave you the opportunity to provide me a service. I would not have met or engaged you if not for Uber.

Would you enter a strange corolla who claimed to be running a taxi service? The Uber platform is what creates the trust.

Ornicus and Izzou start executive designs Ltd, and we get a contract from mtn. I go to mtn procurement manager and say guy, forget ornizzou Ltd, just do business with Ornicus straight.

What is that?

AntiBrutus:
You guys should call a spade just what it is and stop defending bad attitude of one of your own.

The driver obviously didn't know it is his steady route, that is the only reason he came up with that bad road story.

I have noticed that on this thread, the driver is ever hardly ever at fault. It is always the rider with the bad attitude and everything.

When they call you out for yours, you start giving the story of riders not knowing what it takes to maintain a car. If you feel the platform isn't favourable for you- get da fûck off it.

mrjaydee:
That information is confidential you need a level 6 clearance

I totally understand

nairavsdollars:
hypocrite. when Osinbajo, APC man accused the old man of lying yesterday, you didnt call it fake news.

ornicus:
So I go dey open phone line up and Dan?is it that convenient?

You keep missing the bad roads issue. The roads to festac are not bad. at least not between gbagada and amuwo. what the guy was doing was trying to pull a fast one on me. Most drivers in my direct experience know very little or roads inside festac

A fast one on you? Nahh

Infact, that guy is straight forward. He went straight to the point, and you cancelled. C'est fini

If he had carried you online, and you see #5800 at the end of the trip, what will you call that?


As for the matter, let's just let it rest.

mrjaydee:
Driver decides to go offline mode with you due to bad roads to festac is not been fraudulent. If only this rider spewing this crap knows what it takes to keep the car running like izzu pointed out, he would reason with the driver. The probability of getting rides out of festac is 50/50 I stand corrected. The rider should just cancel and order for another ride. Another driver might take the trip. Enough of this back and forth.

Oga

You no even let us know how much that man drop for that day

Person fit need the estimate tomorrow

ornicus:
i would not say that if several drivers here did not start trying to defend or justify the guys actions. what is wrong is wrong
broke shaming, you don't have pity, you don't have a car.
the best you can do when your guy has obviously done the wrong thing is keep quiet, not start trying to somehow abuse his accuser, or justify his actions.

what the guy did is what i have seen different people do at different times in my life / career. attempt to undercut their partner/oga/company. lets do this business together. i will give you better price.



well, hang around festac in the morning, or gbagada in the evening and lets run an experiment to find out. dangerous riders can always be blacklisted. it is why snoop dogg is banned from British Air. it is why companies issue disclaimers against some staff. if there is a series of verified complaints against a problem rider, he will simply be banned from the platform. no biggie

Like I said, your route didn't warrant such. I'll be pissed if it was done to me. But negotiating offline because of BAD ROADS doesn't mean one is irresponsible or a thief.
Like I said, you really won't understand. No vex for the driver sha

And concerning being blocked by uber, how does that change anything?
Snoop can't fly British Airways because they have a picture of him, probably his biometrics too. Does uber have a picture of you?

All it takes to open an account is a phone number, and a mail. Banned from the platform doesn't checkmate a violent rider. He can come back as many times as he wants

Billiodollars:
Thanks boss izzou for the reply. My clients cancel makes my activity always not rise above 95%. I don't know if most people are just testing the app then cancel when i pick. Its just strange on how the cancelation rate keepa dropping when i build it up. For now no active PH group so i stick to here for knowledge.

A lot of people are still trying to get used to the platform, maybe that's the reason.

Maybe you can start the PH thread here. . You'll be surprised with the number of drivers that will turn up

ornicus:
for anyone who has issues with drivers or riders, you can make full complaints via their webpage

https://www.uber.com/global/en/sign-in/
you will have to confirm you account and set up 2fa

any joker who feels he can hide information should understand that this is the information age. One of the key benefits of platforms like uber is that you can track everything. you forget something in the car, make a complaint.

no need for any social media story.

rather than complaining about issues with law enforcement, you can also lodge a complaint with uber on the rider's behavior.

ornicus:
People have told me on some journeys I no dey go. Which is not fine for me, but is thier choice. But to come and say oga, I am not going unless you go offline is an ethical problem.

More so when a driver tries to make up a story of bad road. On occasion, I have entered festac and told the guy stop here, I will find my way home from this point.

It is really annoying and sad that Nigerian culture has entered into this as well.

Keep in mind, this was from ikorodu Road(Anthony) to festac. Not festac to agbara. I know how the agbara Road is as I once took an okada all the way from third gate to agbara because I had a job to do and I knew the road was fked.

Uber has provided drivers with a platform. You want to charge full 8k, then you register with a taxi cab organ9, pay your dues and sit in a car park. You do not take advantage of uber, which pushes drivers to you

I actually quoted you because you said the driver the driver wanted to defraud uber, and was irresponsible.

From your comment, you wouldn't be angry if any uber driver negotiates offline from Festac to Agbara because you know that the road is terrible. Your anger is because he tried to negotiate offline with you to Festac, which to me doesn't have terrible roads. That to me is justifiable. I would also flare up if a driver wants to negotiate offline with me from Festac to VI, with the reason of BAD ROADS. But at least, you agree that drivers use offline to make up for the little fares that can't cover cost of damage caused by bad roads

And can you kindly stop using that Nigerian Mentality line? Please

The picture below are uber drivers in the "HONEST PEOPLE KINGDOM", creating artificial surges. A cheat is a cheat. It has nothing to do with our culture

What determines the frequency of ridea on taxify? Activity? Rating? Or location? Cos the way this week has been dry in PHC. Less rides dey worry me. I dont know if its general.
Secondly me and a felow rider can be in same spot and a ride comes, what determines who geta it. Cos las las na the guy they get am this week that my rating dropped to 4.83

Firstly, location is important. I don't know about PH so I can't give examples of good locations

Secondly, your activity score matters. Try and accept requests as they come, and minimise cancellations

Thirdly, the closest person to a rider gets the request. So when you go to a shopping mall, say SPAR, don't sit in your car and wait. Take a stroll into the mall with your app on. That way, the request comes faster

You seem to be the only PH driver on this thread.
