I've waited 40mins before and cancelled immediately the rider entered my car.

mine was on Monday. Uber gave me request 8km 20mins away. I called the rider and politely told her to cancel and reorder. Ignorantly she started if she cancel uber will charge her 400. I told uber only charge if the driver is at your location and u didnt show up after 5mins.

Omo! She say she no go cancel.. me that just came back from 1week suspension? I on taxify got request. After about 1hr I checked and see that this lady didnt cancel.

And I dey around Oniru, she dey lekki phase1. Which kind winch be this? I called her again a d politely and even begged her to cancel, she still no agree. Na so I drove down took alternative route enter lekki to her location. Then I waited for 4mins and called her. She came out, I was like? Madam for almost 2hrs you didnt cancel or are you not going out anymore?
She said she wasnt in a hurry. As she was about to move to the back seat, I didnt open the car. I came down and cancel the trip in her face showed her my 300naira and uber takes 100naira. Entered my car and zoom off!

We are all mad in this Lagos.

Lol .. He only drove for a year ,how come he stop. He should have continue lol.. Trust me during those times he was driving, he was leaving in fear.. Coz at anytime he can get deported... your brother should tell you the truth o ,he was driving in fear .. If you don't have papers in the USA . You are on borrow time , looking for good job will be very limited..

And one thing about uber in the USA . It is not every city that uber is profitable for drivers.. And to even make money on uber ,you have to drive long hours . You will still make money no doubt ,but your body go feel am especially in winter time.. Most of my friends do uber on part time basis...
Don't let anyone fool you. If your brother is illegal, which am sure he still is .. Even if he goes and marry for papers . It will be too late ,in order for you to marry for papers .. You documents has to be currant or better yet you have to marry before you stay expires. The smart ones do it either on a visit visa or school visa. And your brother can't claim asylum either.. If he claims it and he gets deny ,which is very likely.. He will have to leave the country or he will be bundled back to Lagos first class.. When I say first class , I don't mean first class ticket . I mean sharp sharp he will in Lagos before he knows it.

Life in USA without papers is life of fear and uncertainty. Even if you making good money and etc .. The moment you are caught ,they are not going to allow you to pack your loads o .. The same cloth you have on is the same cloth you will be deported.... And I don't want to sound disrespectful.. Am sure your brother is one of those guys that helps connect buyers in Nigeria via craiglist or offerup for electronics like iPhone, iwatch, laptops etc .. And he gets paid like $15 for each transaction and sends it to Nigeria.. I was asked to do that and I told am legal. So I will paid $15 each for transaction that I connect with the Nigeria buyer. A person that is legal and has better job will not waste his time doing such thing. It is hustling backwards . But if are illegal ,I guess you have no choice..

PS.. The truth hurts my brother.. Been illegal is not easy o .... Those are illegal will be more than likely be illegal for life .. There is no ways about that .. Once you over stay .. You stay ,u are on borrow time. Abi you didn't hear about kids that came illegally to the USA .. when they were babies and they get deported back to their country as adults. And regardless if they committed a crime or not.. A word is always enough for the wise...

Yada yada yada Jackshit! Your Ego will be your downfall if you don't caution yourself. *spits*

kodred:
Why didn’t you return the car the moment you discovered the faults?

Did you sign any document before resuming work?

Dru23 and ornicus, na same mama born them.

AngryIgboMan:
You can tell your story to the marines Sir! Any driver that listens to this your advise is at serious risk already. Am a realist and I choose not to be cowed into submission by any bagger rider.

What the likes of you and Dru23 don't understand is that we are all different! It all boils down to temperament. I repeat, IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO TEMPERAMENT. Just as our finger prints are unique, so is our temperament. You don't expect every human being to react same way to similar situations. That same I AM SORRY MA from driver A can become THUNDER FAYA U with driver B.

There are those you will never see react no matter what you throw at them. They are so thick skinned and mean.

But there are people like me who react energy for energy. I GIVE POSITIVE ENERGY FOR POSITIVE ENERGY. I ALSO GIVE DARK ENERGY FOR DARK ENERGY. Thats my principle of survival. I will use 3 different stories of my experience in Uber to illustrate.



Experience 1 (Gbam Gbam Gbam Gbam Gbam Gbam Gbam Gbam)

Me: Hello Ma. Good afternoon. You requested for Bolt. Is this address correct and where are you heading to?

Rider: What kind of stuppid questions are these? Oga please hurry because am late. I don't have time to answer nonsense.

Me: Madam, begin to trek to your destination immediately. Because if you enter my car, sorry is your name.

The woman fear cancel immediately.




Experience 2 (Tulululum Tulululum Tulululum Tulululum)

Me: Hello Ma. You requested for Uber. Am at Lateef Jakande. I want to confirm your address is 100001 Acme road.

Rider: Why are you not on your way yet? Oga am tired of these nonsense from you drivers. Am very late for church. 2 drivers have cancelled on me and I will be very angry with you if you cancel.

Me: Madam is that a threat? Hope you know this is my car right and am not your personal driver? You must behave well mannered if you want this ride to happen. Be courteous of your next words because you lack courtesy.

Rider: You must be very stuppid for implying I lack manners.

Me: Madam THUNDER FAYA You. Nkita lachagi gi anya dia

I cancelled and blocked her line with immediate effect.





Experience 3 (Tulululum Tulululum Tulululum Tulululum)

Me: Hello Madam. Good afternoon. You requested for Uber. Are you at 51b blah blah blah Lekky county homes and where are you heading to

Rider: Hello sir. Good afternoon. Please am heading just close by to buy food. Please don't cancel on me as many drivers have cancelled. Am really hungry. Please will you come?

Me: Am on my way ma.

After Trip, Uber said I should collect 330. Seems she is on small bonus. Madam gave me 400. I told her to keep it coz I wanted her to eat more.

Its my car after all and I can decide who to give free ride or not.


MORAL OF STORY

Ehailing in Nigeria is more of survival. You can be nice and die there being nice. Nobody really gives a fucck about you in this country especially in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos where everybody is mad and angry.

Nigerians are highly exploitative. Most of them that are nice to you is because they are already scheming on how to use you for one ulterior motive or the other. You mentioned he was asking the driver if he was married. What has that question got to do with anything?

In fact to me, that driver is very stuppid for entering the woman's house after the job. What if she accuse him of rape? What if she is a human parts dealer or a drug trafficker? You mentioned Anambra. Am from Ananmbra and am not trying to stereotype. But what if that woman was already seeing the young man as a conduit for drugs to Indonesia or Thailand? So many what ifs!

As far as am concerned, my work with you ends immediately I drop you. Infact, I clear call log after every trip to avoid temptation of calling you back or "keeping in touch".

In summary sir, Being nice in the face of obvious hostility can cost you your life in Lagos or elsewhere in Nigeria. This is not Europe. Things can escalate pretty quickly if you don't act smart.

By the way if I may ask, Dru23 that has been saying things about being enduring and humble in the Service industry in order to become a boss... What has he achieved with his live aside retailing Mobil oil amd arguing with people on Nairaland?

My Mehn! You have said it all.

Today traffic for lekki-epe no be child's play

Gbas Gbos everywhere!

I think I agree with the earnings posting. I apologise for posting my earnings. Let everybody keep his earnings to his pocket. This is an open forum anyone could be reading.

This week is going to be good.

No loss of lives, no accidents, no issues I pray.

Izzou don Japa go Canada?

Make I no talk wetin dey my mind.

OmoOshodi:
tell us about the fuel you used and time spent

.

2500 fuel. Completed the 3trips in like 4hrs all thanks to surge( Uber is not anybody's mate)

Taxify will drain you mentally physically and spiritually. That 24k you think you made today na "audio".

I do taxify to get cash for fuel to run on uber.

Uber is still the best!

fermlad:
So sorry, bro

Tnx bro, that attitude would have made me to been mean to another rider, that's why I closed.

Today's is a good day! We. Move.

Got a request in lekki today, the name that appeared was "pastor" . Make una hear my today's gist.

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.

I thanked her and left. I drove out and felt really bad and I closed for the day.

Being nice is bad in Nigeria.

How true is this? Wow! I knew him from back in the days at foursquare church alagomeji.

Freshprince91, felicity001. Over the matter.

As for the "Oga" issue, I really don't see anything wrong in it. But the way the "olosho" girls will say it might provoke somebody.

What I do is if you call me "oga" I call you "aunty".

MrDraey:
Morning all,

Please is Umudigi A5pro a good phone for this business?

Does Uber accept it?

Thank you

See the name of the phone sef! Phone don finish for market? Get a good Samsung or iPhone!

temb:
Good afternoon fellow drivers, I met a client through taxify sometimes two months ago, we started doing offline trips at which he paid for the first two trips, of which he eventually borrowed 20k promising to transfer it to my account after the trip, well as it happens both the 20k and the money for trip which Is worth 50k, he refuses to pay. BIKO PLEASE HELP A FELLOW DRIVER. His numbers are 07053134858, 09021008220. His name is david Bricks and in all social media with that same name. He knows me as Benjamin.

You just come Lagos?

Lexit:
Elders in the house please reason my case. I participated in the 6500 campaign by bolt on Friday/Saturday. I ended my 26th trip by 8.58 pm on Sat. I met all other requirements. Mins later I checked my app and saw the bonus added to my money. I was really happy. Fast forward to Sunday morning. I checked again, the bonus is no longer there. My trips also reduced by 1. All efforts to reach Bolt since then not working. All the messages I sent to them are not reflecting. Any way out?

Same thing they did to me, Uche from Taxify anybody know his house?

Ocar has really tried atleast they made uber and bolt reduce thier amount of rides/commissions. I did 23k on bolt and 9k on uber yesterday. Make I use today rest.

Also, i got a call from OCar they said I should come to Alausa for activation. I asked the lady cant I do it in lekki? She said shes not sure imagine?

Ocar need to train thier customer care agents.

Las Las, Drivers seem to be winning.

Wishing you guys a blessed and stress free week

brogxy:
OYO is your case. Accept all trip requests on taxify then slide arriving now and wait for 5mins before you cancel. But make sure you select rider did not show else another OYO will wait for you at the judgment Day.

Noted boss!

izzou:
Chop ko, Chopsticks ni

thier mama, I did 10k plus on uber.. wasted my time with that nonsense taxify. If i put that time for uber i for don enter 25k today.

Uche from Taxify... Your papa!

SaintHilary:

Make I still call Mr Oginni? Ghost1994 shey u don see alert?

Fed up ko Fedex nii.


Day 2, of my Taxifire experience.

1. The riders are majorly "razz"
2. The App is jackshit
3. The fare is ridiculous compared to Huber.
I could go on and on.. (I might be wrong sha)

Uber might not be perfect but they are the best.

As for that OCAR, those ones are uselessly useless!


My 50cents!

Kingpin indeed

I'm very sure this person dey here and knows himself

bolabiyi:
u mean my own experience? Lagos........ the tin just dey tire me.....u go fear lastma, fear FRSC.... make I no use map again?

Use Google map Audio..you can connect to your bluetooth and listen for directions. Keep your phone out of sight. They pulled me over around Osbourne but later left me when they say my SM IDcard. The other uber or taxify guy was facing same issue.

Prince3:
Please I want to understand something, those that are yet to be paid by Uber and bolt since last week. My question "if u were on hire purchase or rental, how would you now afford to pay your weekly delivery". Pls' I need u guys answer, its important for me to know.. Thank you

Always tell your partner you will be remitting every Wednesday to be on the safe side.

It will end in tears my sister

[quote author=okiyi post=84593600]Please has anyone gotten activated on the Ocar platform via their lekki office? Need to be sure the place

ajoks533:
Some of our guys no dey try... How can you drive your car without fuel.
Now I have to sit down under this hot sun to wait for him to run to the nearest fuel station which is like 15mins from here by foot.
Now if I give am 1 star rating now, with a noisy car, him go talk say I be bad rider.

Oga sorry for the inconvenience. Uber and bolt are yet to pay for last week. Pardon the guy.
