Congrats on the golden mail, your wait mehn. Is not here oh, una plent for una yard sha. Go and flourish in the land.

@bolded, we understand the ecstacy

earthsong:
thank you. your explanations very clear. A rider threw 2k at me for a 3.2k trip at night. I don't like plenty wahala. so, I sent d complain to taxify

One of those silly riders that do shit. Sorry

Gentlelife50:
This aunty is coming downstairs, is she coming down from heaven?

did she say coming downstairs? Seems more like ascending/coming upstair from below that water body

aussy4life:
Guys please i dried ugu leaf, bitter leaf, scent leaf and other edible leafs you can think of .i packed them well on zip locks with labels hope it wont be an issue.

Please my igbo brethren what is the English name for OSU that white stuff we grind with egusi couldn't find the name on Google and am coming along with those.

Also can i carry groundnuts and small bitter kola?

Thanks all as am porting this sunday

Port well oh. For groundnut, just place in plastic bottles to avoid breaking. So far it's roosted and normal dry groundnut u no get case. Abi na fresh seeds that can be planted them no want.

kessel:
Yes,but I failed to do that,beside I was already carrying my backpack and one other small bag so the lady refused to allow me

so u had a backpack, a small bag, and another hand luggage? The way I deh lol you, that your small bag go don weight like 5kg sef. Ah, u wan use style carry 2 hang luggage. them catch u. You really packed oh. Pele

earthsong:
this is screenshot of rides finished. y are the amounts different

If you have discrepancy in what u earned on a particular day and the amount showing one your app today's earning tab, the culprit is usually a previous trip that ended in review- if the amount is higher on the earnings tab. But if it's lower on the earning tab, then a particular trip on that day had entered review process. Taxify can review trip for 1 year, such that by the time the price shows up, you would have forgotten you took the trip and they don't even message you to the effect.

Just worry less

joeokoriem:
bros u worked Monday to Sunday no rest!!! Do u have a wife at home? Are u on rentals or HP?

Why are you people always quick to crucify? Even when you can see the Monday and Tuesday earning were meagre. Maybe a thousand or 2? HABA

kessel:
Was given a tag by the airline staff.
When I pay in Australia, it will be sent with the next flight.
So she said.. I really over carried oo

Please how many kg over the acceptable 7kilos was your hand luggage that they had to withhold it? I thought you'd have packed immediate needs within hand luggage to avoid have to unpack and pack checked in luggage upon arrival. I'm not sure I would be able to leave mine.

chillex8:
Do u think those were valid trips
If you know, you know.

I know and I know. The truth of the matter, valid or invalid. He was able to cash out because of the 2.0x boost. Make him try am now. Uber will be smiling to the bank.

thebigkendo:
It's that reason you are looking for that will make you follow the crowd & buy the more expensive corolla ... Follow follow Nigerians.

I will tell you the that reason if you can explain to me why in Nigeria a toks 2005 corolla LE is more expensive than a 2005 camry XLE(full option)

Abroad a full option Camry should be more expensive than a basic corolla LE either in brandnew and used

I follow like this your kweshion. The camry is a more luxurious car and should be more expensive than a corolla of the same year not minding the class.

Naija na different market dynamics deh move us

0ubenji:
something about corolla made it high on-demand despite matrix' existence.
Ppl won't demand to buy something more expensive that is purely similar to another commodity in d market for no reason.

*Ignorance, that they are buying exact same machine except for the box it comes in.

*Hatred for hatchback vis-a-vis love for salon cars

Seriously matrix has a better interior IMO

Mjosh1000:
True talk will not even tell us how much fuel they consume and other misseccleouns

whether he does the 30k in one day or 2 days he would still use about same amount of fuel. Approx 6k for corollas. peg miscellaneous at any amount u feel comfortable with.

Driver had a busy weekend, which is the strategy some drivers use. Take week days softly, and weekend work na till target is met.

Daveonoja:
Remembering the uber milking days...this is almost impossible now..

if you're not "hardworking" with a little twinge of luck, this will be weekly earnings these days.

slamstanlee:
even those that swear dey can never do uber are running back... for me i dey both kampe any one wen come i chop am.... both apps running and updated. Just like one using MTN and Glo lines.... d one wen pay pass at a time naim u go use....

abi oh.

Check out the link, it doesn't count when you move without a rider

Forget link and what uber tells you. In practice your driving time reduces once your moving around looking for rider.

chillex8:
It also counts when you are online and driving with or without rider.
Once ur GPS moves whenever you are online, it counts. Even if its 50m.

True. True

kessel:
Extra 23kg and my supposed hand luggage was withheld also for being over 7kg� so i will have to pay for that one again or ask someone to go pick it up at the airport. Because of tight schedule,had to ask someone to book my flight and the supposed agent didn’t help matters. No reservations for 18hrs layover,had to pay $198 so I can atleast sleep small.

I don't get, are you not meant to carry your hand luggage by yourself? Was it left at MMIA or where? In whose care was it left?

Travelling tip: if you can avoid travelling with the trolley boxes please do, it gives some edge in kg as boxes already weight 3-5kg if not more being empty. Light leather or sport fabric bags can do. IMO

Travellers can also use a bathroom scale to check their luggage mass while packing. So you're not caught unaware at the point of exit.

kessel:
Thanks
I did but not picking,I paid through my nose. Spent over 100k and the stress involved too. It’s not an experience I wish anyone

how many kg extra did u have?

wapu:
That's a lot.
What did you carry?

Honestly I don't see myself carrying any sort of foodstuff when I eventually travel.
[b]Just the clothes [/b]I'll need and few personal effects.
Shebi people living there don't have food I can but to eat.

Shebi people living there don't have clothes you can buy to wear

Well I believe you just need to be moderate in packing stuffs generally. You done wanna land there and start buying buying everything at rates unimaginable when u could have helped yourself with some from home. Whatever is a necessity to the affected individual should be provided for.

There are many more expensea to think about upon arrival.

brogxy:
Important lesson;
Always hold Ur phone with you while at work.

A lesson all drivers learn. Or if network wan do you, while your phone is even with you taxify will log you offline for not responding to request; something that didn't even enter your phone or beep. I got drop from 100-94% this week. Network ish.

Airtel is killing

kessel:
@bellong, l@solitin and other Gurus in the house,please anyone ever had an experience of excess luggage with South African airways and what is their charge,am flying today but just finished packing and discovered my luggage’s are above specified 23kg x2
Thanks

You could have called the airline to clarify what their excess luggage charge is. Or you can do away with certain item that can be purchased easily over there.

Safe flight

Gentlelife50:
And the trip will be #380 then you don't have change and the rider expect you let go of the small gain. The journey to the pickup point is even more than the actual trip.

True talk

brogxy:
I was talking about the pickup distance. Who will compensate me for the 4km.
I check distance most time before accepting

At the end the rider might just be going to the supermarket down the road.

xana101:
why didn't u quote corolla? I tot corolla should be on ur first list

cost of purchase I guess. Quoted cats that can match his sale price

olystic:
It's quite unfair because sending transcript from school was not part of the requirement. I only uploaded a scanned copy of my transcript.I mailed them for further explanationwhy i was assessed as unsuccessful and the reply was that my school did not reply them when they tried to verifly my academic records. very useless school

And it's like TRA are in habit of not contacting applicants until final outcome. Had it been they had, you could have known which buttons to push to get them their desired reply.

Sorry about the outcome. All this kind thing, man suppose sue/petition the school. They would be giving emails addresses that they don't have correspondence for or they simply ignore emails. Chronic ineptitude

earthsong:
still waiting for a reply guys.

3.5L SUV. You get mind oh.

If you don't have any attachments to the car, better to trade it in for smaller vehicles like yaris, matrix, kia rio. Those are friends of the biz

DidoKev:
Congrats Misoke.
Your patience has paid off at last

Quoting gone bad... I suppose.

But you have congratulated her, so the Eagle is around the corner, prepare runway for landing Misoke.

BADNEAT:
Thanks ...they better do..i no wan renew this study visa

Hopefully, you wouldn't have to

slamstanlee:
lol.... I don't even need lockito or any app to pull that.... But do i do it.?Nope. Only test run it once... Fear lagos drivers

My phone even does it by default once a while if the head don hot. OS not upgradable. I need buy another phone ASAP before e put me for wahala.

Once I notice it, I discount the trip though

lymelyte:
I have some Chinese American I picked today from pearl garden and they said my car is fresh and clean and they would want me for offline trips(pick up and drop off). I currently waiting for them at a dropped off point at one eatery spot in Vi..my brethren, Is there any standard fee I can bill them for these trips let's say within VI? I don't want to feel cheated..please gurus help..

Try 2500 per hour

Olesekeniwoye:
You say?

I said, the driver cannot make 100k after all expenses weekly, week in week out. And I will say it again and again.
