It happened in Alade market Ikeja.
I needed to buy some dollars, one guy came and said he can get it for me cheap. He asked me to wait for him, he collected my money and gave me his own bundle of money as "Assurance" that he'll not run with my money which was like 5x the amount I gave him. A few minutes later, he returned saying the owner of the dollar is requesting that I add more money that hes no longer selling at the agreed rate, so I refused and asked him to give me back my money which he brought out, counted and recounted b4 handing it back to me and I also returned his.

When I now got to one of the offices where I usually buy, the Mallam say my money no complete...that dude half my money...azzin he took half and gave me half. I wan mad!

...and nah company money, not mine.

Oga na you gawk yourself joor, who does that. Why won't you follow him to whoever is selling the dollars and do a direct transaction. Sorry sha

Good day guru in the house , is app on waiting good for like 30min or 1hour or negotiations for waiting time is the best?

this depends to a large extent on the trip to be taken after the wait. I won't wait 30mons to take a 3km trip thereafter. But 30km upwards may be worth the wait. You should sabi your onions

na juju.... u never see something....
Same way i picked 2 Lebanese, at allen ave, we stopped to change just 100 dollars. They agreed 36k. The aboki counted 35k and intentionally withheld 1k.
The guy counted, then gave his girlfriend to count too, it was 35k. Now they told aboki to count, that it was 1k less. This time around i turned to watch as aboki counted and apologised, then brought 1k from his chest pocket to add. Going to fatai atere way, mushin. At oshodi under bridge.... the guy screemed ...... "this is 419, this is 419".
What's it sir? Money is now 20k, they counted over and over again , 20k
I was shocked.
That last 1k was d money grabber from what i deduced.

I just told him to always change his money at eko hotels if he cant go to the bank.
Sir if we go back we wont see him o, should we?
Rider: no please continue..

Issa lie
Abrakadabra still deh work?

slamstanlee:
yea... experience really counts indeed.... luck too is needed. Yesterday i woke up lazy again, began around 10am and still scoop 18k+...
And for the past 2 months i never miss church, resume by 12 noon and still get 20k minimum before 11pm...
May God bless our hustle jare...

Please which network are u using? The past 3 weeks have been dull down here. Network depleted my activity score and drivers around me have been snatching request before mpi.

Each time I boost to 95% village people come with network quams again. Missed 2 back to back this afternoon and Dow to 92 from 95. Chai

Dikachi12:
all. what is the problem am hearing that DIPB is rejecting ppl..after ITA.?
what is thw way forward

Hello, how do u mean reject? Please clarify.

Thanks

crossfire47:
Thanks a lot bro. I didn't even reason things this way in the first place. She called to negotiate a trip worth minimum of 5k yesterday (I was driving home then), agreed on fare, later she demanded I called her when I got home n was settled (this was like 11.50pm) got home n called back as agreed, that was when her intentions were made known. Babe Is a sex starved nympho n a 3some'ist, but as she cant afford a 3some, a one on one would fulfill her fantasies. One of my rules of thumb is to thoroughly scrutinize things that presents itself easily. Proverbs 7 6-27 reminded me of d consequences.,May God help us all.

Perfecto

Greeting from my observation bay.

I have been driving Honda Civic for almost 12months now and I do average of 250km everyday. Sitting inside Honda Civic day in day out. I think I can advise on the car. The car looks small from the outside but the inside is like that of Corolla.

Honda Civic is strong but the issue is that the car is low. You have to be careful on rough road to avoid dent by your side. It's juts like driving corolla sport. The low arm bushing is a major problem with the car. But I have resolved to knack bushing to the other arm since I tried it with one and it works.

Every other thing is perfect. No wiring wahala, no a/c issue since I bought the car. The A/C is mortuary standard.

Which model year sir?

odigiri1983:
Please some one should help him answer the question and answer mine too below.I have a PGD and HND all in civil engineering.I have been practicing civil engineering [road construction throughout my career] for over 8 years now.Kindly advise me if I should tender assessment as a Civil engineering Technologist or Engineer or should tender separate assessments?

Hello please gun for Civil Engineering professional and don't pray to be assessed as engineering technologist. It has become very tough to gain Invitation for engineering tech. And I believe its your experience after PGD that will likely be counted for you because of the skill level of the occupation.


Better still, as @Bellong advised, try making your CDR to apply for Draftperson using HND qualifications.

0ubenji:
as regards the emboldened, if u often pay up 30k remittance 2-3days b4 the due day. Then, 35k a week wasn't bondage in any way for u strictly on the issue of disbursement.
Statements like this are real suicidal, it can give the car owner 2nd tots on d weekly remittance. If u knw, you know.

If you like think 20 time. Lemme see the car owner that will request 40k rental this period.

kneo:
It was one of those contracts you go into out of desperation.
Owner said he will handle only engine and gear box repairs while I took care of every other repairs. For 1 year and 3 months, there was no engine issue neither was there any gear box issues.
I remitted 35k/week.
I was in bondage.
Luckily, robbers rescued me from that contract.
I am now on a 30k/week contract with a 2010 corolla. NO ASSURANCE DEPOSIT demanded from the car owner and we are having a wonderful relationship. I even pay him on Sundays at times before taxify and uber settles.
There are still reasonable persons here on nairaland

How? Them tif the or or them tif your partner?

crossfire47:
I no fit fire married woman abeg , she went ahead to say she won't pretend to be holy n that her husband must be getting it were he is so y shouldn't she. Also said if she gets d chance, she would just go and pay for a hotel n fire down till morning multiple times, I just use style increase volume of music. konji na bad thing finally.

julietromeo:
Thanks bro. I was able to do 3 trips after the repair. Will push more tomorrow. On another note, need you to cheer me up on this: got positive assessment from vetassess last year but minimum 65 points as from July 1st is holding me down. I hope u can relate bro.

Sire I relate perfectly. What occupation did u nominate? I have sent u a pm. Let push it from there. There must be a way.

Tgiirl:

Oga no worry, airtel will always bleep you around alausa and some other coded areas in lagos. Numerous times I have found it hard to end trips with airtel at alausa

odigiri1983:
Good day all,please i need your advise.I want to make application for skill assessment with Engineers Australia .My question is can I go ahead to submit my application for assessment without test of English?

can't do that, can't do that; NO NO NO

julietromeo:
My village people visited me this morning. Woke up around 4am to launch out weekend and jackpot campaign by 5am. But my car said no. Still battling with it. I'm not sure of meeting up with the bonus again. Its well.

Ehya sorry, all this village people and their unannounced visits. You can still get it, change the target to 11-12 trips for the remaining 9days.

It's difficult but not impossible. I will be cheering you.

40k on my mind. But no difference between us. 10 hours online just 2 trips. Request are being hidden by same village entourage I guess.

Well 2 down 98 to go. Friday night, let's see what you hold.

slamstanlee:

Alausa is something else when it comes to network. E be like say lagos state code that area make dem no fit use the coordinates bomb them. . I have missed uncountable trips there.

teelacruz:
That’s how I use my church mind to go meet a rider after telling me that she won’t tell me until am here only for the app to fail to show me the destination until after few KM away and I saw Otta. Chai......I won’t make such mistake again.
It was the brother I took to CU. I almost dropped him on the way but I felt I’m in it already since I couldn’t cancel when I got there even with her attitude.

Na all those kind places them no go free tell you. I will end the trip instantly. That's ogun state. I only work within lagos- that will be the excuse

brogxy:
Just want to correct the misconceptions that any driver that doesn't meet up is lazy. It requires luck at times to get long trip requests.
If I were to be on rentals, how would I meet up with today's target.
See the next trip I got

At the bolded, unless they arrange 25 trips today tomorrow, and hundred in the next 9days.

slamstanlee:

profjo:
Am going through an agreement form now, and there re two parts there, 1. The owner is responsible for repair below 5k, any repair above 5k would be shared by both driver and owner. 2. Weekly remittance is due every monday(am aware uber pays on tuesday). Pls i need your advise on these two clauses. Thanks

is the agreement for a rental or Hp contract?

Regarding weekly remittance I prefer you negotiate for Wednesday or if possible Thursday. Monday is a No No. Because sometimes weekly deposit will even come on Wednesday.

As per repair unless it's a HP agreement, that owner is a crook. It's actually suppose to be you whose take <5000 repair and owner fixes other major issues. Your owner wan try you see

taxiappguy:
Is it true Taxify have now merged lite and comfort trip requests?

personally, I have noticed some cars appearing both on the taxify and lite options. I want to believe they are the borderline model year and a system error is causing this. Maybe the 04/05 cars. Guess they are at advantage for now
