Felicity0001: That was how one stupid guy with a silver color big daddy yesterday tried to enter my lane at 7up/Toll gate B/s yesterday. I was just beside him slightly by his back door position and thus idiot guy was still pushing abd trying to push into the dish be my left I horned and horned and horned 4 where? Na him I say anything wey won happen make e happen because if I step on my break there will be multiple hit behind as the car behind me will hit me and the one behind will hit him as well. Na so I increased my speed into the tight edge close to the convent passing him. This stupid idiotic pig started to insult me. enh! Me??! You're mad! I swave into his front like I was to hit him na so the both of us did it oooh... My offline rider who is base abroad was trying to calm me down to leave him because she saw everything right from the onset and was even the first to say what's this guy driving? Does he want to push us into the dish? Me i don vex already, I'd already passed him and was to divert towards Ojota and at this time I've put him on my left and as he bracket me I wind down he too wind down and was still insulting his generation while me too was adding to the insults to his generation na so I carry the bottle on my water can holder throw at him... He was lucky I was diverting.
You needed to see his car self, the right sid le of his car from the back door to the headlamp broken I believe similar thing must have happened and the driver must have hit him.
If that driver is here and can read this I say this to you, you're very very stupid...
Do Nigerian drivers know what actually is a blind spot? Like u said, most dents on ones car in the traffic na this. And the claiming right aspect of it gets me mad.
@donparosky, please can I use container ( locally constructed) to store palm oil in an open space in a compound? I wanted to construct a wooden store but I want options. I am looking forward to storage next year, also buying and selling too.
YeyeGbami: I got one request from papa ajao around 6AM this morning on uber, as i call the rider say make i drop story say i can’t come cos i dey far.
Omo this bros dey plead with me ni o, say make i try come. If no b say mushin na my turf i won’t go that early, naso i reach picked him and his woman with two cooler. One filled with better shayo and the other fried ram meat.
He said they’re going to atan lmao! He say make i cancel the trip say make we do offline , if una see how these people fragrance dey ooze freshness. Young couple, see gold everywhere Naso bros say make i bring aza and he sent me 20K that morning and promised to balance me on our way back.
To cut story short, na house warming we go. Lowkey inside compound party. 20K bal hit my aza after i drop them around 5PM.
Unfortunately, tomorrow i dey go buy brake disk and pads.
First one, google maps already told me I have gotten to the riders destination, but the rider said no o, and still kept on directing me for like 5 mins till we got to his exact place, so I told you him that he should have just used his exact house address but he said bolt don’t usually bring the exact address that’s why he do use the address which googles maps followed. What should I have done in this case. End trip ? Or Extra mins means extra money?
Second experience was at shop rite, I carried a lady from Magodo but google maps gave me a direction which I was following from magodo as we got closer to shop rite, the rider(a Lady) just started shouting that I am following the wrong way by going straight just as google maps showed, that I should have turned some where else, but I calmly responded to her that I have been following the map since the beginning of the ride and all, but she just kept shouting that it is because I want the money to increase and all, she even asked me to turn back somewhere where they boldly placed a signboard showing no U-TURN and I refused to turn, this lady just wasn’t having it, so she then asked me to end the trip, I ended it but still carried her back to the shop rite gate since that’s where I will be taking back home and I was already done for the day. So I remember that someone once said on the thread that they pay for parking, so I then told her that will she pay for parking so I take her in or she alight outside. She then alighted and by then I was already on the shoprite entrance road. And I just had to enter so as to turn and come out through the exit. I didn’t know that the card I was given at the entrance means I have to pay 200 naira( I thought it was just they way they give tag in Unilag when you enter and collect back when you are going out). So after the delay in going out back for like 10 minutes. That was how the security guys collecting the card just shouted that I have to turn back and park, then go and pay the 200 naira.
Omo had to turn back again, pay, before I was now able to go out. Luckily for me, I got a matching trip back to Gbagada which is just close to my house.
Just did that and close.
The elders will advise on this ur case. Me still na toddler. But for the bolded.... U did well. Never ignore road signs. Imagine a situation u obeyed the rider to turn and u were caught and forced to pay 50k, do you think the rider will assist you or the rider will abandon u and continue? I always say, ur car is ur office. Do all u can to protect it. Better to discontinue a trip than to risk ur car.
northbird: Why not corolla or matrix or the earlier civics, 03/04. you are new to car issues,the corolla has a strong point there, no serious issue if you service on point.
If you have enough experience under your belt, you can then upgrade. Cos it's the same fares even if it's 09/10 Accord.
olukaygold.... Heed to this. Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you. Also to avoid Accord K-leg oooo, since u are new.
olukaygold: Good day riders...have been following this thread quite a while,im just a silent reader. Pls can I use Honda accord dc(2006-2011) 2007 for uber? And how strong and fuel consumption its conpare to corolla? I'm looking looking purchase one soon
Are u maintenance balanced and ready? Corolla na small engine so fuel side, Corolla wins. But if everything dey alright, u may not feel it.
In other news, summary of the news Sha How una get mind use all these memes for Pearl1910? Na so una heartless reach? One person..... Still join coconut head add.

[12/9, 10:58 PM] Bobby: Na so I drive o!.. e be like na cocain joint sef [12/9, 10:58 PM] Bobby: I charged them 2k after trip making total of 3700. [12/9, 10:59 PM] Bobby: Mean while at the destination in ring road, they were cashless. Asking me to give 3k so that transfer go be 6700. I say I no get [12/9, 11:00 PM] Bobby: So they did not buy what we drove to ring road to buy. [12/9, 11:01 PM] Bobby: Reaching medical, oya pay.
They said transfer. I don know say nothing they with them. Food sef, the vendor no see alert. [12/9, 11:02 PM] Bobby: Oya transfer, I call my details and I come hear the usual "DONE" [12/9, 11:07 PM] Bobby: Me: let me see alert Guy: e never come( was busy editing) After minutes, Guys : see alert. Me: I'll confirm on my phone app. Na so I wait with them no alert.
They said its network. I'll get it. I don already loose hope but doing my last fight.
Na so them start dey Waka. As I shout reach, no human being came out. Na so I just let them go with the 3700 [12/9, 11:10 PM] Bobby: The 2 of them carried big stones asking me to follow them.. 3700 is not worth the risk
See wickedness. Na dis Kain thing go make person jam dey with motor. Na hospital and police go settle the matter.
geezyk: In all fairness, I was VERY RIGHT to drop them, when that talk started about not showing them, the other mumu said, "sebi I wasn't on call, how did I not see" and point plank I told him, if you weren't keenly following your friends' conversation you would have heard me, as i don't need to shout, I lifted up my phone, showed them at the back and explicitly told them I'm starting, but the problem the other was talking about on phone thats making him agitated was logistics, I sure wasn't the one supposed to pick them up as the got messed up by the company's driver, but baba wan transfer aggression ontop my head, I stood firm and ordered them down. They were saying all sorts of rubbish, that it's how we do and whatnot
8km? If it was about that, na to dey jump Okada and bus go visit my friends for abule egba and ogba cos I no wan lose fuel,
I don't want a situation where after calming them down and continuing the trip, and the fare is a bit different from the estimate we go start wahala, so I cut it short immediately, I can't asslick cos they're old men in their late 40s to early 50s. If they were younger, I would have put them through, make another person teach them abeg.
They felt entitled, and I said, not in my goddamn car.
We shall all get there o... I mean the age. And Gentlelife50 no go like this.
Ghost1994: You can’t relate and understand the logic but I’ll help you… well as for shoprite, before you make your request come outside stand very close to a good landmark eg entrance 1/2, kfc, chicken rep etc…. Let a driver know you’re already in front of entrance 1 or kfc.
For blenco, always be outside the exit gate book ride especially bolt they most times 1-5mins away… tell the driver you’re already waiting for him at the entrance. It’s help in looking for cars in the parking lot like someone wey lost money…. Naija parking lot no get number or any good order try these above methods and come back here to let us know your experience.
White man go Dey outside waiting and tracking the drivers movement but naija go enter mall without buying anything yet and book Uber down to waste his time after finished for over 30mins they’ll begin Dey call oga where did you park in a very big parking lot
Once I see these name pooping on my pickup screen: Xe, Xao, Jin, Mei all I needed to do is tell them i am driving to entrance 1 or 2.
Their reply most times is okay my friend I meet you there…
We’re not really ripe for technology yet… Don’t even talk about delivery bikemen those one Dey suffer from riders end
hardex10: Thanks for your advice sir I work Monday to Saturday but my boss too dey quick vex small thing e don vex and that thing dey make me fill bad like if I dey do ulber I will not face that and I can work anytime I wish and rest anytime I wish
If u have read this thread thoroughly.... Be ready for such
Another thing sef... If u are driving that thieves and murderers magnet ( 03-08) Corolla, may ur prayer request be to change the car to the one that is not in demand and expensive. It better to be alive and hustling in another model and brand, highest u go dey visit workshop, but u go dey alive for ur loved ones. Than to be cut short of life.
Wishing everyone a bountiful season as Xmas rush is approaching. Fight nor quarrel with no one. If e no click, bounce the request and wait for another.
Men! To get a car dis period to drive no go easy o. I feel for guys looking out for cars. If only Nigeria and Nigerians are transparent and sincere, most of these car sellers should come to rescue. Some cars have been on car stand for years looking for buyers. But sellers and HP guys go dey fight. Greed go enter!! Nothing pains to know u can do something but tools no dey.
After all, I hear say oyibos no dey pay fully for cars to acquire them.
Nigerians with self entitlement mentality. They don’t want to do anything at all
My experience so far for this December is hell… Rider will be asking shitty questions like:
Where’s your car? Where are you? Reverse back Go front Turn left Open booth Come down Is this you What’s your number plate What’s your car color Is your car yellow, orange, lemon or limca? Is this you? Your car is gold but it’s doesn’t look like gold Can you carry 2 bags of rice? Don’t follow map I’ll direct you (gbam una both find una self inside traffic) Noooo I’m in number 2 not 5 turn back (but it’s just 2 houses ahead now) Oga why are you driving sluggish (80km/h is sluggish) Oga you’re over-speeding
You can’t satisfied Nigerians
The summary of it all. Crazy riders. U see that speed of a thing, it is hard for me to go above 80km/hr. At times, I go accelerate the car make e be like say I wan speed, next thing I drop the speed. If dem talk, I tell u no be expressway we dey and other road users are on the road. If accident happen, them go discharge continue their movement.
This una group needs a well maintained 240 or 244 oooo. Spice it up with such. And it should be in the middle of the convoy to show some respect to the brand. U should own one (just for display) cos of the maintenance and u are detailed.
I have a friend in the east that still drives a 240/244 with turbo and ac functioning well.
