Hahaha Jaydee... Thank God for the news. You beat me to it.

Guys I just resumed in a mainstream oil and gas today. Never wanted to break the news till I put pen to paper after proper documentations and assessments.

It actually came on 31st of December as I was sleeping my way out at Almiraty phase 1

Good pay
Good working environment.
Good structure.
Nice position

Viewing nairaland from my desk

My mehn! We. Move.

Morning my fellow drivers.. I'm on my way to resume in a blue chip firm. The salary is humongous and working condition is almost perfect.

I will still do my taxifire/uber work weekends if I get strength.

I got this job through a rider! I use this testimony to pray for others looking for jobs may God answer your prayers speedily.

I for snap and send here but I don't know the people I don offend make dem no see me for road come beat me.

It is well.

Gshems:
I am sorry if I sounded so wrong, I am new to naira land. If you have the link to any page I can learn from. I will really appreciate it.

Just go back to maybe from page 1-50 then jump to page 2000 and pick some few points.

That's the story. They don't care about you. (Those who have ears let them hear)

Once you drop them at destination, in 3 seconds after transaction completed, you're as good as a used pad.

Picked up a rider this morning from Happy land going to Silverbird.

Rider: Please can you be fast I'm running late.

Me: Fast to where? The roads aren't free for race.

Rider: Just fast abeg I'm late already.

Me: Madam, I'm not the reason for your lateness, I came as at when you requested the ride. Don't put this on me.

Rider: What rudeness!!! Please this is morning learn how to talk to people.

Me: You can get another ride, we are done with this. Your fare is 700 (Showing her)

Rider: (In shock) You ended the trip? Who asked you to end the trip? What's is the meaning of this nonsense. As in what's your problem.

Me: Madam, this is early morning, I'm going to a class where I will be taught how to talk to people like you advised.

Rider: (Now tired) OK please can we just continue, I'm already late for work.

Me: You'll have to make another request and be hopeful you get me.

She did and we continue. Got to her office, she work with one of the banks in Adeola Odeku. She paid all fare and slam my door. Came down check everything is in order then went from there to mamaput to break the fast.


No be me and bad energy this year.

Chai your own madness no ne here

tojahh:
My guy... Once I do the first stop, any other stop we have to end the trip. I don't care about what you care about as a rider. You cannot tell a danfo, korope, yellow cab or BRT to be waiting for you while you pick up your colleage who most tines isn't even ready for the trip.

Bros, eyes have seen things. No time for pleasantness.

I got a request, the girl was going to ozone cinema. Got there she entered said we should wait for her friend. After like 10mins she showed up with 4 teens! At the end I canceled trip after waiting a whole 17mins.

Guy as I was about reversing na so I hit my tail light for fence and the thing crack.

Please riders to your own peril. The ones that deserve kindness will be shown kindness.

No time to asslick anyone this 2020

Remember this scenario I posted some few weeks back

So I picked her up (elderly woman) started the trip it was ikota shopping complex. Mummy said shes going to gtb. Na so I carry her. Waited outside for like 30mins till she finish. It was a return trip, on our way back we did like 7stops. (Market, store etc.) Come and see me loading Cway inside booth, I carry vegetables, tomatoes, groundnut oil, tailor, etc.

After almost 3hrs we reach her house. Mummy said end trip? I knew it will still take me like 10mins to offload the items to her house cos nobody dey house.

Trip was 1800 God why? I didn't flinch I just continued. Thinking mummy will give a good tip based on our discussions.

Las las, she gave me 1650naira. Cos I didn't have change for 200naira.


Till date, I wont lie she killed something in me, which is showing compassion to riders.

I really don't care anymore. I wont be rude I'm still professional with a 4.80 ratings.

If you (rider) is polite, I will be polite. But if you show small sign of craze. I WILL TAKE YOU TO HELL AND BRING YOU BACK.

Mayorhy you are just an ignorant fool for writing that jackshit.

Is it the driver that gave her the price?
Didnt she see the fare estimate before accepting?
Wont uber take out thier 25% from the fare?
I can go on and on.

When danfo drivers that normally charge 100naira from obalende to yaba decides to charge 300naira on the same trip?

If all the drivers decided to go on xmas break do you think the "yellow cab" will have mercy on you?
Do you know the kind of attitude drivers face everyday.

Yes, some drivers are full of sh*t but not all.

Lemme stop here cos I don dey vex, no let me find you.

*spits*

That means he will 1billion times richer than the richest person in your family

Abeg who don pass any of the toll gates? Hows the procedure?
I'm on rest till next week

Angryigboman dey para oo... I don laff tire.. but this true sha, some riders can make u mean.

peeps4u:
Bro, you seem a bold man.

Sorry to ask, were u ever in military?

Are u from Niger Delta Creek?

Lol military ke? I grew up with 4 elder brothers dem don drill me tire as the last born. Also, it's not boldness na just reflex.

In the words of 2pac " in times of danger dont freeze it's time to be a Gee"

Be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best that's my mantra.

Happy New year in advance my people.

Guys be careful tonight if you are working around lekki/ikoyi/Vi.

I picked up some "marlians" from jakande area enroute Eko hotel. On my way back cos of traffic I used the alternative route. Lo and behold as I was navigating the bad spot of yesufu abiodun street na so some men try to jump me.

Meanwhile I rolled down my glass cos i needed air..next thing na gun i see.

In that split second i didnt hesitate... I reversed, revved my car and face the guy with the gun. Honestly I don't know how or why I did it. I hit his back with my side mirror and i just bent down my head speeding away.

I stopped at silverfox. Omo local man has retired for the day.

kodred:

BTW, Ornicus, how are you bro. Hope you good?

Ornicus wey dey road dey hustle to complete 15trips taxify bonus

tojahh:
I for dey bring beans an bread for you on a daily for Kirikiri na

U no even say rice and chicken....wicked man.

Anyways I will be at elegushi beach tomorrow if you dey around . Whisky on me. Offer open for the house

Today was sweet and crazy.

Sweet: earnings made sense.
Crazy: I was to pick up a rider in an highbrow estate in lekki. This Overzealous security was definitely on his period cos he was so rude and arrogant.

I reach gate and parked by visitors parking. I called rider and she called the gate. Na so the security dey do "open your booth" I saw the way he slammed the uber driver infront of me. I warned him when he was coming for mine not to bang the booth.

The guy banged the booth I heard (broken sound). The speed I take come down.. even Usain bolt go fear.

2secs everywhere burst. I wanted to slap him but I changed it to blow.. next thing the guy fall.. see blood like Tap. To cut the long story I no fit ask for money for repair of the booth, the guy sef no fit ask me for hospital money.

My rider gave me rope to tie my booth.

Morale of the story: anger no good..what if the guy die?

Chai!

Felicity001:

tunjity26:

25k weekly.

Today work soft no be small.. as them FBI and EFCC say make we no post earnings.. make I keep am like that.

Uber will give you 8km 20mins away to pick up a rider, taxify will give 20km 45mins to pick up a rider.

I just kuku off both..make I go relax.

dru23:
But what you fail to understand is that just because 5w30 is suitable for hot climate, does not mean you use 5w30 automatically for all the cars .. Some engines are not design for it ..
Again follow owners manual at all times . Some engines are design for 5w20 and 5w30 only . My elantra either takes 5w20 or 5w30 per the manual.. Corolla 2010 engine is 0w20 or 5w20 regardless of weather conditions. It does not mean you automatically put 5w30 inside a 2010 Corolla........ And some car manfacture will tell you if 5w20 is not available use 10w30 and the switch back to 5w20 on the next oil change....

We just don't go on assumptions all the time .. All these oil stuff I never knew Jack sh@t . Until I started managing the cars myself, after the fleet manager was fired.. The guy destroy my cars and I had to start all over again ... And I did some simple findings through reading. Reading is fundamental, Google will help you too .. But we fail to do that . I encourage you again to always read the owners manual.. I read owners manual to the point ,that some car manual tells you not to use fuel additives. I can recall people were using and selling it on the forum . But hey what do I know, I figure we know better than the car manufacture ...

Well Merry Xmas to everyone reading this. Am done on this topic .....

I agree with dru23 on this.. I have been using Mobil extended in my car.. its expensive but the best. Maybe cos it's my car and I can afford to use it. Sometimes I start my car I wont even hear any sound until I touch the bonnet that's when you know the car is on.

Drivers if you can afford it go for it and peace of mind. I'm not saying the other is bad, but it means you will be servicing the car every 3000km do the maths.

Merry xmas!

safarigirl:
You mean Uber in Lagos abi Uber where?

Only Lagos Uber make this plenty money and it is because they spend half of the day on traffic and the prices are surged, even at that, the market is currently saturated and the pay is not worth the stress finally.

Let's be guided, Uber money is not 'a day money'

Yes I'm taking about Lagos uber drivers. Babe those guys are the real " a day money" traffic or no traffic, surge or no surge.

People that work when they need money? They could decide to wake up 12noon on a Monday!

Alzirida:



Ikey de driver.

Tacha could have at least sit at the front.

Uber man

Do u know how much uber man makes in a day?


He makes more money than those that work in bank or all this companies.

Uber man is " a day money" after them na Yahoo boys... let's be guided.

Uber a d taxify them struggle for who mad pass.. giving me ridiculous trips. 10km, 18km to pick up riders??

Me wey just wan make like 15k cash.. use am go beach tomorrow for my guys end of year party.

Their fadas!

[quote author=tojahh post=85201212][/quote]U dey Lagos u know now wetin be skushi?

No wahala..after the fight..we settle am with some cold bottles

ofime123:
egbon u like fight sha ;Degbon u like fight sha

Yes some drivers are full of sh*t also the riders too. But you need to hear both sides before concluding.

I know like fight lol, I dislike downgrading... I fit die for there.

Funny enough I'm rated 4.80 on uber after almost 1800trips.

I'm very nice, I joke a lot, and also compassionate. But if you bring craze come, i will gladly welcome you

Zoharariel:
Nitigriti,

Please do not pay the fraudulent bastard a kobo. Even his 2,600Naira - do not pay him.

For attempting to defraud you in the first place, tell him to come meet you at the Bolt's office to collect his money.

And I trust Bolt to block his account & dismiss him from the platform - with immediate effect.

I find it difficult to understand why 95% of Nigerians are inherently fraudulent.

For the guy up there trying to support the fraudulent bastard saying he could have had a trip failure, the fact that he was reluctant in confirming the Trip for 45minutes showed his fraudulent intent - and I'm not surprised a bit because Birds of a feather flock together.

As we have fraudulent riders on the platform, so do we also have fraudulent drivers - and they should all be weeded out from the platform.

Lastly, I swear to Ogun, Sango & Obatala - That bastard would not get a kobo from me[b] if I were in your shoes - and I would even go to the extent of beating him up with my boyz if Satan ever pushes him to come to my office.
[/b]
And then we would all end up at the Police Station - and I trust, with the evidence at my disposal from the receipt & chats - we all know who would be at the receiving end.

Awon set bitterlemon.. this is my kind of rider.. las las one person go give up.

Just come here to make noise, what if the driver comes to your place and beat the hell out of you and your boys?
Mugu!

tojahh:
Please drivers always try to be your brother's keeper, it might happen to you tomorrow. Even when I have a rider, I do slow down to ask what's the matter.



Quite impressive bro... But you see these [b]Corolla boys ehn, they always have same spirit especially spirit of rough driving and I no go gree make you enter my fron[/b]t

I actually pity the owner, she must have been deceived into buying an agama lizard thinking it's a crocodile.

Meanwhile, I do stop once in a while when the spirit is willing and on a more luminous atmosphere.



*Meanwhile avoid Awolowo Road as at the time of filing this report.... Road blocked!*

What of the Big for nothing Camry boys? Whey be say na only thier small heads you go see for sterring

calabardick:
She even want to enter the car, after more than an hour of request?
She no get sense, risking her life because of 400.

But waitooo, where Una dey get this kind moral from? You get liver no be here. Choi

bro, I could have cancel with the unsafe option, but cos she was stubborn and didnt give a fuuuk?

Me like that person, I will come to your house and show you myself. I remember that Ornicus guy wey I tell make he give me his address he say he go arrange thugs beat me.. Oga me go die there.

Madness full this Lagos
