Damn! I'm stuck on Apapa-Oshodi express way. The rider wey I carry reach here self requested make I end the trip. Na how to escape from here I dey on now. Make I go balance myself for correct area.

Damn!!! Seems you stepped out a lil' bit late, preferably next time, you set out around 5a.m by setting long destination on ur app - mind u this time seems unrealistic most times, considering the level of insecurity now or you tarry till 10:30a.m - 11p.m...(office secretaries, girl Fridays e.t.c move inter CBD's)...

Eh..Eh...make una dey take am jeje...softly softly... Ehn... Make una dey take am easy. I'm not sure this was an incident in Lagos? And if it happens to be, Aaaah...dem go need cough out the money they have been saving all this while...

Some school of thought would quickly rush and jump on this, with the verse.."Ehn...accident are bound to happen"...indeed I agree, absolutely. But how do we mitigate this occurrence(s)...

"I wan move Lagos" "I wan move Lagos".... See wetin kon move them.... The longer you stay on the road, the more money, more stress and more risks. " Life itself is about risk"...I agree, but you have to take calculated risk that worth taking.

This piece is not to discourage anyone, but my overview overtime concerning this rideshare business is that we Africans, especially Nigeria is not yet ripe for it. Its just an act of bandwagon. Much has been said in the past, in which I wouldn't want to bore you with much stories, in other not to stir the hornets nest. But I'm glad, individuals are beginning to look inward in other areas such as : Car wash, bikes to mention a few.

I'll implore Drivers to take a lot of rest, especially if you drive in Lasgidi. Be conscious of your mental health as well, if need arises, take a cursory look about your entire life disposition, a rethink might be imminent. In other to venture into New life challenges that would make life more worth living.

All the best o...

This one small na,I have traveled all the way from Abuja to Yobe before for an interview only to be told my name wasn't on the list of people they called, imagine after sending me a text for interview ooo,some other people were also in my situation. Imagine the risk,this was evenin the peak of Boko Haram attacks in Yobe state . Op shit happens

You gan sef, you suppose wipe you cord for neck. How could you have left abuja - administrative capital, seat of Government and you head straight up North to Damaturu in quest for a job.
I know that route so well, Jos - bauchi road enroute potiskum..
I wouldn't do that by instinct. The indices doesn't favor such places, except the job you applied for is of international repute like UNICEF, WHO,FAO e.t.c
Even with this sef, the interview wouldn't be conducted in such areas, worse off it would be held in Jos.

Lolz, yours is 3 years. Mine is not up to 2 years and he does all these things you mentioned.


He opens youtube on his own tablet or his mom's phone and skips videos on youtube to select his favorite car racing and school bus related cartons



He is even trying to learn to drive car, once you park and mistakenly leave him in the car to get something quickly, before you return, he has jumped on to the driver seat and start pressing horn and twisting the steering with all seriousness


One day I left the car key mistakenly with him, before I returned this young man was already seated comfortably on the driver seat struggling to turn the car key he had managed to insert into the ignition hole, when I came back, I calmly told him to go back to the back seat he said and I quote "Daddy No" , I repeated it go and sit at the back, he confidently replied me again, "Daddy go away, I drive daddy car", I just burst into laughter



I had to forcefully carry him to the back seat.

Because of his smartness I don't ever leave him in the car if I am driving with him with a keyless car lol, before we appear on Nairaland fp



My brother children of this generation eh, wahala de oh

You need to google the word " Smart" , and you all should stop using the word loosely.

everythinggirly:
The curriculum of the education system have changed, that's why kids these days are so smart, they can even engage a full-grown adult in a conversation and talk boldly.





Hit me up for your academic research writing services!

I pity whosoever hits you up for such yeye
academic writing service you claim to offer, going by your aforementioned submission on subject matter.

Quick one, please if you happen to be the bolt driver that took a lady who went to buy groceries at a supermarket over the weekend and argument ensued back&forth regarding change, with the driver claiming he has no change. Please try and do the needful.

According to the reporter (Joseph Faulkner -sportpresenter- lagostalk91.3fm), he said the driver persuaded the rider in forgoing her change or feel the rider ought to leave the change, in which she(rider) insisted on collecting.
The lady made an offer of a bank transfer but her bank app had network issues.
During the course of this matter, argument would've ensued (my thoughts). The Driver insisted on taking the rider back to nearest bustop and source for change, in which (rider) she declined.

Long story cut short, the driver rammed on the rider and speed off, with both the money and the groceries still in the car.
As at the time of this report, the rider is still receiving treatment at the hospital. The rider is a younger sister of the reporter - Joseph Faulkner

This story was aired on radio program sportzone - lagostalk 91.3 FM...in which I listened to... The matter has been reported to nearest police station and on Bolt for necessary action.

Please, if you are the driver, let's listen to your own side of the story ( in house.)

CC: Ushe please dont be too irrational in taking steps, let's hear from the drivers view so we can have an all round balanced analysis.

That's why I said this rideshare biz don gather doves, ravens and chicken together ...ò tí ko èiyéle pò mó àdiyé

As in...A close business associate, 4am she is making a video of her self driving to escape traffic in lagos

Imagine! When her mates for Owerri still the sleep, some are getting the early morning drills while some are at the battle front dealing with satan .

She is already out to work..I had to ask her what of her hubby and family in general, she will say normal normal..Thats stressful living in Lagos.

Haven't you seen a trending video of primary school kids being taken to school as early as quarter to 5a.m in lasgidi.
Don't let anyone fool you, most men that are fully responsible for their family and are hustling in Lagos does not have time for sex. How do you want to do it, you wake up around past 4a.m, jet out 5:15 latest, close by 5p.m ...get home by 9-10p.m.
Abeg, how your preeq wan function?

Are Nigerians the only one involved in this lucrative business over there, how about other Nationals? Their Mistress no charge them much now, since she incurred the cost of transportation, accommodation, passport That's brisk business, but which of the preferred choice do the Arabs make? Mind you, Bangladeshi and those philipinos too dey there o...

Boss no worry, when you return, reality go wake you

Yes, you're right. Reality might dawn on him when he returns to shithole, but it won't erase the memories of how life ought to be (arguably). What GeneralZodd would be seeing in reality now would be synonymous to the pictures of paradise being mirrored by Jehovah's witnesses in front-page of their watchtower magazine.

I remember during my undergraduate days as a katangite, one of my roommate traveled to represent the school in badminton in Botswana, just 2 weeks in Gaborone... He came back and no one rest for a whole session till he graduated. Few sentence from my guy lips, Gaborone must enter....why? He has seen something different from the usual.

73O9:
I think the bolded solved most of the debate going on here about uber/bolt.

I could remember when you were running around Lagos and also singing praises of Uche then, I guess this break gave you a reason to think beyond the horizon.

Yeah..Travelling outside the shores of his country has opened new frontiers. His eyes has opened, like when christ healed the blind.
I could remember Ushe, telling them not to go on vacation, not to go on break, blablabla. Telling them all that if they took such decision, who is going to move Lagos.

Just less than 10days ó in Dubai, his eyes don clear. What if God blesses him the more, he travels to Singapore, Paris, Los Angeles....his orientation changes...

That's why you see, when issues are propped up on this forum, Few can only comprehend what is being said, simply because of Hunger&Poverty that has beclouded their reasoning.
Now see the essence of exposure, GeneralZodd don kon dey wine&dine with Arabian girls, they discuss Gold bars, think big...rather than discussion of "gala in the sun" tales of uche
Its sad

GeneralZodd:
Life is good when you have money. Visiting Dubai has changed my perception,[i]I might have to stop running kitikata when I return to Nigeria

Travelling is exposure and education on its own. There are better ways to make money bro[/i]Someone just gave an idea of buying and reselling Dubai gold. It's fast selling commodity with good profit returns, I still dey deliberate on it. Like I said earlier on I came for flexing and business opportunity survey.

As for uber Riders missing me or me missing them, That one nah Opata you u dey yarn

You no go fit run that Arabian chick O! Can you afford to cough out 3,600 Dirhams for a night. That one nah ₦600,000, 4months earning on Bolt with 1.9 surge . E fit wreck somebody.

I feel like crying right now, because I could remember the likes of BAZOO, Barbiturates raised this issue sometime ago, but they were Crucified by the Ants...

Felicity001:
What do you call under age voting in tje north? Rigging or what? Guy forget story I was IPO1 my polling unit was at Maryland secondary school in 2014/2015 election. Leave all those tramission of result and electronic card reader they used to wash our head.

I ask you a question, did you transmit the results in your unit to the central cyber in that day of election? If i can still remember there are 2 administrative password to the card reader only one was given to us (IPO) shey na IPO them dey call am self I've forgotten... the 2nd password wasnt disclose... Do you know that with that 2nd password you can manipulate the out of accreditated voters?

In 2014/15 and the 2018 or there genereal election, they used the registered voters booklet (What the name of that book again sepf where all registered voters are written. Some people's names are in the book but not found on the card reader.

If we want to go electronic let's go there what's the need of doing both ballot and electronic let people be accredited and vote electrically at the same time rather than doimg accreditation and after 4-5hrs b4 voting starts. Let them do a machine that will display all canditates on the screen as soon as you've been accredited you top print on the face and logo of the party you wish to vote for and off you go... Immediately after an electorate finishes voting tue system transmit automatically to the central cyber and after maybe 60seconds the result is added to the general screen as a count in the pooling centre.

Every pooling centre will have one central screen or projector to display result in that centre then each unit gets at least 2 voting screen touch computer to accredit and vote on.... The general computer receiving the results from the pulling unit in that centre will automatically transmit each result electrically to the sub zonal and also to the state zonal centre and then the 6 geo-political zones and then Abuja the HQ.

All computers are program to stop working at the close of voting period i.e 4pm. And latest 15min past 4pm final result is out.

Broadcasters are televising everything as its going and as the votes result are coming in viewers already know who is winning.

These are very simple things that can be put together but because of corruption they will not.

The only time we will have a free, fair and credible election is when we go 100% electronic with no ballot boxes and papers simple.

You this guy, you dey funny..even in America, in which our democracy models isn't full electronic....not to talk of Africa...

I'm sure you had about Russian involvement in trumps first election, inspite of the tech savvy of the Americans, the electoral process was still being manipulated.

The question we should be asking ourselves, similar to the way fela asked a Journalist in an interview/discussion then, was:
"Is democracy beneficial for we Africans"

It is less lucrative to drive in Abuja than Lagos, the margin is wide. The only advantage in Abuja is that you have less touts to worry about. There are many places you'd drop a rider and you'd never get a trip out, you'd have to blow empty. 600naira yakpa for Abj. So many delays especially when you are picking someone from estate, or places like Nile uni. Getting a trip over 6k is difficult in Abj.

Abj is not same with Lagos in this hustle. To get surge for here na waec. Even during the festive period, surge scarce like competence in GMB govt. The only advantage of Abj over Lag is not having to worry about many touts, security officers don't disturb much too.

Your disposition is a lil' bit flawed to an extent. You can't have it all. How about the good network of roads, less traffic and thuggery*
Abuja is administrative capital of the country, you come in, secure your contract and move. So to balance it up, u might be making a few bucks, but less stress...
Trying to earn a living in lasgidi, using ehailing has a platform is akin to bringing out a fish in a body of water...
But, I'll still prefer to drive in abuja than in Lagos, simply because I prioritize my mental health over money...

Sorry o Comrades, I apologize for drawing you backwards a bit. I just wan' find out about the philanthropic dude with the Monicker British Naija (I guess), who promised to alleviate the suffering of masses, by offering them cars and the drivers in turn remit proceeds to his Mum tàbí Grandma...

Lol....It seems Chillex tabi IFSHR would be custodians of such vehicles when they arrive
