Is this the lady in question?

If she is, you should be able to get your money back if you can leverage on the second screenshot.

Good morning good people. Thanks for the attempt to get my money from the lady, I really appreciate.

I just got to the office now and logged in and I would rehash the questions of what really happened.

I picked her up from an hotel opposite Lagos Business School on after I painstakingly drove for about 25 mins to her because she entered the wrong pick up point. She did not apologize for the stress and I did not care because Ajah to International airport which she set as her destination is a good deal for me and I did not want any issues.

We set out and and upon almost getting to the airport, specifically negotiating the oshodi bridge she asked if she could use an atm to get cash for me. I was in a hurry and I felt what is the point that she could do a transfer. We agreed and we got to the airport. She attemted the transfer, showed me the debit alert. We waited for like 3 mins, no credit alert. Knowing I was in an airport area and I could be towed, I asked her to exit and I would call her if the alert did not come in (This is based on my wrong judgement that she is a normal person as she was calm all through).

Before I left, someone knocked my window, it was the airport guys telling me my passenger wants to board air peace to Kano. I was furious that who does not know you cannot get local flights at international terminals. I asked her to enter the vehicle and we agreed to an additional sum of 1k (including toll) which she paid cash. Upon alighting, I still told her I have not seen the alert and she kept insisting she has been deboted that I should be patient.

After about 3 calls to her in the remaining course of the day, she said she did another transfer and she was debited again and she has contacted her bank and they told her to wait till Monday. Monday came, she said her account has been blocked and she cannot carry out any transaction. She also said about 3 other people have the same issues with receiving her payment.

I continued to message her on WhatsApp till she started getting irked that it is not her fault and there is nothing she can do till her account is unblocked, hence I brought it to the forum.

PS. I reported to Uber by Thursday (late because I felt it was a sincere technical glitch) but they said it more thn 3 working days so they can do nothing.

Afterwards, she stopped responding to my WhatsApp and was cutting my calls up till now.

That is the summary with the chats shots attached.

Thanks.

fdmskincare:
called her she picked immediately I said hello she dropped the call,tried several times she just picked and didnt say anything.....she's good.shes definitely been scamming guys before.

Chai. See life.

It is unfortunate though. Thanks for trying.

My closing remark for this year, Indeed, scam knows no ethnicity.

BAZ001:
Which one be northern lady after she don scam u,
The 419 lady pls, if na yoruba or igbo now everybody go don shout scam but cos she’s Hausa u dey doubt her.

I emphasized "northern" because fellas here were giving her benefit of doubt as a northern lady. Now she has proven that scam has no religion or region.

She was so calm and actually not so smart (did not know there was international and local airport).

Kamikaze42:
Sorry to go off topic. I am aware of the cons of receiving transfers from riders, however I am usually ok with transfers most of the time.

I took this calm looking northern lady from Lagos Business School, she said she was going to the international airport so we moved. She had this cardigan with her, so I believed she was heading to US or somewhere cold. Upon dropping at the airport, she did a transfer from her Jaiz bank, she was debited but I did not get alert.

I was about leaving (with the mind that I would get alert as I have not been duped before) someone knocked on my window, it was an airport official saying the lady was to go to MM1. I asked the lady where she was travelling to as she said Kano. So I took her to MM1 and collected 1k from her (800 after deducting toll). I raised the alert issue and she said we should be patient for the alert.

I called her in the course of the day and she said she has done another one and has been debited again. By Monday, she said her account has been frozen and she has been having similar issues with people not receiving payments from her. She also said until her account is unfrozen before anything can be done.

Now she is cutting my calls and must have blocked me on Whatsapp. I have her phone number and account details. I am not certain if she is a gentle fraud or just a slow poke who means no harm.

The trip is #4,900 and I am in limbo for now as Uber said it is more than 3 working days already.

Good people,

As envisaged, the northern lady has still not made the payment and has put me on a no receipt list on her phone as the calls do not even connect at all.

She also is not responding on whatsapp any longer. It is way past 3 weeks since the ride and she did not oay my #4,900 despite how understanding I tried to be with her.

Her number is as follow:

08064951485
Saratu Ibrahim Sanusi

Kindly do justice.
Thanks.

So Felicity0001 took one way and is looking for OBA of Benin to come get his car out.

Any driver that takes one way should be severely punish. Not just forfeiting of the car, he should serve the 6months jail sentence as you are coming out of jail, owner will be suing you for lost of property.

Obey Lagos law.

Hey Guys.

Some experience with cash (transfer) trips.

Rider said she transferred #1,200, I did not see alert. By the next day, I reported to Uber. Afterwards, the alert entered, however, Uber is asking her to still pay #1,200 before she can request a trip (perhaps they are yet to adjust the fare). Note that I updated Uber that the alert has been seen, she is saying what I did is not fair that I should have been patient for the alert.

The same patience that has cost me #4,900 (I am giving this another rider 2 weeks before I release her number for embarrassment). She should also be patient for Uber to reverse the payment.

Uber however is being diplomatic. I asked them directly what a driver should do if a rider requests for transfer payment, their response

"Driver-partners are responsible for collecting the full fare for a cash trip immediately on arrival at the rider’s destination.

Moreover, we highly value your feedback and we take what you're saying very seriously. As a growing company, we are constantly seeking ways to better enhance the Uber experience from both driver-partners and riders perspectives.

We appreciate your understanding in this regard."

omorkelly:
She may not be a fraud; Jaiz bank inter transfers is always problematic.
I had several failed transfers from a friend using that Jaiz bank and was debited. At times it took days for reversion. He stopped using that bank whenever he wants to make transfer thereafter.
My Advise: give the lady some days, maybe 2 weeks to sort things out first. If she is not forthcoming then we(this honourable house)go the usual route.

Thanks very much. I also wish to give her benefit of doubt. She stopped receiving my calls and responding to my messages anyways.

Her 2 weeks commenced since the trip day and I shall alert the house to do the needful after then.

Thanks for your time.

To b an overall driver with excellent performance, u need a matches, incase u want to light some tin or ur rider wants to light some tin.

I have seen some mentions on lighting "oven" on this thread. That would actually be funny if that is what is being reffered to here.

Anyways thanks for the advice.

5 yaff knack. Make I go online.

Hello Brethren, i don what is happening to our Sun in Lagos ooo? It’s like it’s targeted at Lagos only.

When i started ride sharing i started having serious waist pain that no amount of of pain killer help. So i stopped for a while nd d pain intensified, so i talked to my parents, they sent me some herbs nd after taking it for 3 days everything stopped till today. Am still driving even as at now i de jibowu traffic

I do not mind a plug to that agbo o. In fact I am researching on non alcoholic opa eyin or something like that.

peeps4u:
At number 7, dont be a lazy driver. Why should you have a back pain? #jokes

Not a very bad one but you can still do better. If you consider fuel, your net income might be around 100k for the month or there about. Hope the car is yours?

That's BTW, why didnt you register with bilt also? There might be some areas where bolt will come in handy. I once waited for about 30mins with uber at Unilag and no request came in. This was before covid oo.

Sorry for your back pain, hope your legs arent aching and vibrating during sleep? Mine did in my early days

Take care of yourself, dont joke with back pain. Good luck

Yes the car is mine. If I had my way, I would rather give the car to a driver and ensure I get to the office by 8 and back home by 6 so that it can keeop making money within 8 and 5 when I close.

He can drive and then we share the money accordingly, but you know the rest. Story story would start immediately and I may regret, so I am kuku managing the free time.

northbird:
You are doing well for starters... With time, you will have a grasp of how traffic situation works and how to exploit it.

Back pain? Watch your diet, don't sit too long at a spot,.

Only Uber? Try the Bolt app, you will get a better bang for your buck on Bolt especially weekdays. ( specific destination trips.).

Cheers!

Imma try out the Bolt app too and compare. Albeit, the longest waiting time I have had so far has not exceeded 10 mins. However, bolt may yield more money for the same driving time and stress.

Thanks.

Dovehorizon:
...


You are doing well.


Get an orthopedic mattress, yeah it is expensive but gonna help you in the long run...

Thanks bro.

I usually get the pain when seating in the car. I would try using extra pillow on the seat. Office too na too siddon

BAZ001:
Be careful with that pain, watch ur driving posture and when you are not driving try to stand and stretch outside the rather than sitting in the car.
you mean u only do two trips to & fro your office on weekday and weekends to net 130k?

Thanks for the feedback.

I do max of 2 trips (seldom 2, most times 1) in the morning as I resume 8 am. And I do max of 4 to 5 in the evening, sometimes just 1 or 2 sef, but I do longer rides on weekends and I got about 11k or more in bonuses. The 138k is before fuel o, after fuel, e fit no pass 80 or 90k.

pope191:
You need to buy matches, 359 degree can not make a complete circle, 60/100 so far

I am not certain I understand the matches and 359 degree part.

60/100, where do I need to improve? At least, I would ensure I have masks on all the time now.

My few experiences in my 1 month driving with only Uber.

1. I ride on my way to the office (Lekki to VI), going back home and then weekends. I have done 128 trips (Trips request: 303, Declined: 78, Cancelled: 16)
2. I am currently on 4.81 rating ( 5 Star: 65, 4 Star: 4, 3 Star: 1, 1 Star: 2 (No Nose Mask))
3. Total net earnings: 130,524 (Including fuel)
4. Got a tip of $30 (#14,250) from a rider rushing to the international airport
5. Still struggling to get #4,900 from a woman I also took to the airport but with issues on bank transfer (Jaiz to Zenith)
6. Met different kinds of people, mostly normal. The rides are usually silent with only radio as I do not talk much.
7. I am already developing lower back pain and my odometer reading is just rising at astronomical rate.

How would you rate my 1 month report?

omoalayo:

Felicity0001:
I just sent you a mail now

Hello fellows, please i have completed the info session on uber and waited for more than a week now and my account is yet to be activated.

I cant afford to go to the green light again as it will be my 3rd time since I started this.

Please what can I do.

Any phone number or email address I can contact would be appreciated.

I already sent an email to Partners.lagos@uber.com not certain it is valid

Thanks.

donfortune48:
You too dey support bad thing.

Uber said assisting the passenger open and close door, put and retrieve luggage from the trunk would make them give you 5 star. Na true?

Also, seems most people here do not favor Uber and na only Uber I register, yet to start though.

I want to be doing the riding after work and weekends alone. IS Uber alone ok?

Duke111:
Go to Maryland, do the training den boom ur account will b activated

Thanks brother. Is there a specific way of booking for the training or simply booking an appointment as usual is sufficient and i tell them it is for training when I get there.

I want to avoid wasting time as those guys are somewhat haughty. I would like to use my break time within the next week.


Thanks

eyinola:
its not an excuse to reject or cancel trips,, for me i even prefer to do card trips only, it save me time, energy and headache

Hello guys. I just completed uploading all my documents on the uber driver app. I thought i can go online immediately as all documents have been accepted, but I realised my account has been disabled.

What may be the reason and solution please.

Thanks.

Kamikaze42:
Thanks bro for the response.

It is very valid and issued in Lagos. Like I said it is the re-printed copy and I am informed that they do accept the re-printed copy.

Someone advised me to visit their office physically. I hope that helps. They may not open tomorrow, till Friday.

Chillex8 can you please share your number. Mine is 08067878552. Thanks

chillex8:
Ensure it's valid.
Secondly, hope it's issues by Lagos state?

Hello Good People.

I am trying to do Uber registration but it has been difficult. My documents keep being rejected and I am not sure why. Particularly my road worthiness for now.

Although it is not the original, it is re-printed and it of course carries a Private Vehicle Tag. Could these be the reasons for the rejection.

It is very frustrating. Please help a brother out.

Thanks.

"I Don't Want A Girl Child!"
"I don't want to have a girl child", someone said, and, when I got the knack of his excuses, I couldn't but think twice over my dream of having, at least, a beautiful female child. I used to picture her pretty, slim, intelligent, natural and innocent.I used to visualize a girl child, who would perch on my shoulder while I tell her stories of the tortoise and the hen. I used to see a future daughter, who would be fond of me and shout Dad! Dad!! in the house.
I had desired a daughter, with whom I'll play football in the compound. I used to want a girl, whom I would adorn with expensive clothes and jewelries. A daughter I would treat like a princess and worship. I wanted to name her Ewatomi, But, now, I'm afraid!
Did the girl child, all at once, realise she's without value? Does she now see herself as made for men's buzz, and that alone? Does she think she's made to make boys feel good? Was she designed, just for boys' amusement and turn-on? In the strippers' club, you would see without-clothes girls, gallivanting and selling it cheap.
They would allow you handle their boobs, if you can pay. They would allow you do most nutty and slaphappy things with their bodies for a valueless naira note. The other day, A girl wrote this on specialspesh(Davido's friend)' s wall on instagram, " D Bleep way you Bleep me for free way you promised me toyota Corolla car way u never still fulfill nah thurnder go strike u one day."
What has come over the latest girl child? In the University, almost every girl is a hoe! Some are in the sex business, while some lay around just for the fun of it. Seeing a young boy take tramadol, cialis, levitra, viagra codeine etc, one would wonder who the victim of such make her cry anal rampage would be. She's the innocent-looking 17yrs old daddy's girl.
Isn't It demeaning, that 10 unclad, grown up ladies would twist and bunny hop around a fully clothed boy, all in the name of shooting a musical video? Isn't it worth crying for, that some 5 ladies would pride and joy in being baby Mamas for a small fry celebrity? Isn't it sorry and touching, that a girl would, with zeal, pose Unclad and 24 carat original for a shot? Haven't you seen a pretty young girl, expose her almost-bare vulva to the coldness of camera flashes? Isn't it pesky, that ladies now delight more pleasure in twerking than contributing anything intelligible to the society? Isn't it ugly? If a guy would boast, he would, of the number of girls he's had free sex with! He would boast of how recklessly, he bleeped that hijab-wearing girl.

He would boast of how he, without mercy, ravished that lady, who doesn't wear hear rings. He would, of how a Pastor's daughter came begging for more, after a war-like bed session. Ask some guy out there, He's got more than fifteen girls shouting for help.
Someone seems to have untied the girl child into nothingness. Someone seems to have primed her on being a low-grade mortal. She seems to have endorsed and taken stock in being made for men's pick-me-up alone. She seems aware of herself being only an easy mark for sexual pleasure. She now understands how the best she can offer is her curves and boobs.
She's like too afraid of being irrelevant, that she wants to lay bare, what's under her pant, if that would bring about attention. Let those punching out for gender equality stop wasting time, the girl child has accepted defeat! The ministry of women affairs should change name, ladies seem more comfortable as mere blow jobbers.
I would have said, that I would
instill in my own daughter ethics and ideals, but, will it make a difference? I would have sworn to bring her up very religiously, but Pastors' daughters seem not too good. I would have planned to give her a sky-scraping education, but, those ladies who went to Cambridge, don't they end up in the street nude? I would have decided to make life so comfortable for and give her every little thing she needs, but, daughters of rich parents are not different. I would have promised to shower attention on her, but, those of caring and tender parents also end up giving free sex.
I would, then, have promised to be tough on my own girl and always flog brain into her, but, daughters of such parents end up living couples' lives in school, cooking and receiving Bob doles on a daily basis. Nothing seem enough to stop a girl from going wild. Nothing seem enough to make her see herself as special and the best thing that has happened to the world. If you chastise her, it's trouble. If you don't at all, it is problem. So, Isn't it better not to give birth to a girl at all?

The only comment made with the soft tissue in the skull so far.

These youths are just perverts with low self esteem.

Guess their mums and sisters got same but just spew thrash for ego.

And lastly, if wayward lifestyles were the only cause for the so called saggy boobs, female masturbation enough would not do as much harm, it is the same set of disgruntled elements that squeezed and pressed daylight out of these same set of breasts they are here insulting.

Humans are incomprehensible.

Shame on you guys and get some dignity.

May Allah ease our affairs.

Please contact any of these people. They are scholars and if Allah wills, they'll be of help.

A very little knowledge of Islam from the right sources would help you clear your misconceptions about 'Wahabbism'.

Wahabbism is just a name coined by academists to describe classical Islam ie the real Islam that has been forgotten and it had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism and violence seen today.

Talking about Saudi Arabia being at the fore front of Terrorism via their Wahabbism ideology is also being ignorant and taking information from Western sources hook line and sinker.

Learn Islam from Islamic scholars and not from Wikipedia.

Assalam alaykum.
