Be guided.

peeps4u:
Correct!

But in engineering, there is no ideal system.

True

surethings:
someone should help me answer this question.

The keyword is "ideal."
The right answer is 100%.

calabardick:
You have a sound business mindset

Thank you sir, for the compliment.

Person say he dey go Yaba left....yu self no reason am

So what's the biggy going Yaba left?
What if rider is a Doctor? Or he's just visiting someone he knows? Or he's a restaurant owner in the complex?

Let's even assume he's a patient. What's actually the biggy?

Sometimes, we miss the best opportunities because they come dressed in overalls and look like hard work.

Early morning (6:00am) offline from FESTAC to YABA for #3,000 is a good deal for a driver staying around; for example, in Festac, Satelite Town or Amuwo Odofin!

(1) It's an early morning ride from a "dead zone" to a "woke" or "hot" area ehailing-wise;

(2) It's a short trip - only 18km! That's the distance from Iyana Oworo across Third Mainland bridge into Dolphin Estate.
Think, if someone posts - Early morning (6:00am) #3,000 offline from Iyana Oworo to Dolphin Estate; it would be a steal, right?

(3) And since it's an early morning trip, there would be little or no traffic and it can be done in less than an hour;

(4) #3,000 is about what the trip would be on any of the apps; but whoever takes this trip doesn't have to give away 20 or 25%!

And to think the rebuttal got 5 likes ...

My own opinion, please.

I remember one of those offlines I did. It was Chillex8 that linked me up with the client.

The offer was to drive someone from Agbara estate to IBIS Hotel, Ikeja. Meetup time was 7:00am on a Saturday morning. Rider offered #8,000.

I accepted; which sounds insane.

But here's how I reasoned it. I will wake up 5:30am, bath and leave my house by 6:00 am so I can get to Agbara by 7:00 am. If the rider is on time, we can leave by 7:30am and be in Ikeja by 9:00am; traffic or no traffic. Let's say I use #2,000 fuel for the trip, I will have #6,000 in my pocket by 9:00 am. I'm not paying Uber or Bolt any commission.

That was exactly what played out on the said day. Plus rider kukuma told me to do airport pickups of expatriates coming in throughout the day and dropoffs the next day plus returning him to Agbara estate on Monday afternoon.

There was enough profit that weekend.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Lol

The trip will not be #3000 on any app, unless there is surge. I have done Festac to Yaba many times and it ends at 2k plus with commission.
3k was a very fair deal for someone residing in Festac.

But then, the thread is transforming. He got bashed for making an offer. Even now, we cheer ourselves up when a driver is rude to rider unnecessarily.

[/color]

My brother, I kukuma put #3,000 so there won't be any argument.

Me that I'm living in Egbeda, I will just call rider and beg him to add #500 for my fuel from Egbeda into FESTAC through Iyana Iba and do the trip.

Sometimes, we miss the best opportunities because they come dressed in overalls and look like hard work.

Bros only you naaa bad guys!

I must confess am stunned. Was the car your personal car or you were on rental? Because one will be wondering how you make up for the lost time spent on traffic, effect of bad roads on your car suspension, how they will eat into you revenue and eventually making your weekly remittance

I was on rental and still managed to meet up; driving 80+ hours every week.

Funny thing is all the cars I used were always in good shape. Of course there will be scratches on the bumpers, but the cars were always fine.

Cars suffer in bad roads when you speed into the roads; but if you crawl into bad roads, the car will be fine.

adsmaster:
Izzou you never Chi something....
I went to ajegunle once brother I pity for my car, I start to speak in tongues oh because rain wan come fall that day and the road was bad.. Also that day bros see trailers carrying container everywhere

I remember queueing behind a trailer carrying container on one of those trips. I was heading towards Iyana Iba from FESTAC. Other cars were behind me.

It took us about 15 minutes before we realized the trailer had parked and we were supposed to to find our level.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]But if you actually went to Kirikiri or Ajegunle back then, you tried oh

Did that trip twice, and I regretted. Got trapped in the container queue

[/color]

I remember one trip to Ajegunle from Surulere. It was difficult getting there. The roads were bad, but I managed to navigate it and dropped off rider. Fare was like #2,000.

Then I got Lekki trip - about #3,500.

I also remember another Ajegunle trip. Got to destination around 8:30pm; then got stuck inside trailer traffic. I finally got to Oshodi by 11:30pm. I just went home straight.

I love diverse experiences. They build my tolerance and resilience. That's why I never rejected those kind of trips even though I knew what I was getting into.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He's definitely joking

He listed the whole mainland [/color]

Abi ooo

This is quite misleading. There's no place mentioned here that I didn't take regular trips to during my 2 years as an e-hailing driver.

There is none I can't take a trip to during my normal work hours - 6:00am to 8:00pm.

To every aboki, his kettle.

AngryIgboMan:
Guys am back again. Hope your xmas banter is going on fine? All thanks to God!

One guy asked an important question of where not to go in Lagos and I will do justice to that question here because nobody has answered it satisfactorily.

As an Uber or Bolt investor, advise your driver not to go to these places. Believe me when I tell you that cost of maintenance will come down sizeably. Even if it means telling him to remit 20k weekly but reject trips to these hellish zones. Money will come down but then he makes 20k for himself and 20k for you! Your car will last years on Uber! You will hardly visit a mechanic workshop if you don't go to the places below.

As a legend in the business, I want to teach newbies and intending investors a few things regarding areas you shouldn't go to in Lagos.

Some of the places I will mention are actually nice estates but the roads to them are quite terrible and horrible. IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAR OR YOUR PARTNERS CAR, NEVER YOU GO THE AREAS I WILL MENTION BELOW.

There was this Eastern guy I met in Ikeja one time when I began work newly and he taught me most of these bad places!

Before I continue, Please be you aware that 70% of Mainland is bad and terrible. 70% of Island is nice. Infact, what you should fear on Island is only flooding and Pools of water. Again, Sanwo Olu is doing a nice job now on Mainland though patching up some nasty places e.g Akilo in Ogba Town. Let me use this opportunity and give;

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO SANWO OLU.... MY ADOPTED STATE GOVERNOR. HE IS REALLY TRYING ON ROADS. MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE BUT THIS GUY IS SILENTLY WORKING. A BIG TUALE TO YOU MR POINTUS PILATE.

So here Goes my List;

Ago Palace
(Good road to it through Orile to Festac onwards Ago but Terrible inner roads. 90% of Ago inner roads are dead.

Price is 7,000 naira from anywhere at all.

Ajao estate

From Succubus, Incubus, Tricubus down to Asmodeus and Asmoda live here. Once you are here, just know that you are in Satans Anus and behave well to avoid death. God has forgotten them too. Infact, Ejigbo is not on Gods map of the universe. Satan carefully moulded here on a saturday when God was sleeping. Believe me Brother. Another terrible fact about this Zone is that THEY ARE ALWAYS ANGRY AND READY TO FIGHT. I love to fight too. But The Upper Cut an Okada rider nearly landed on my Chin after scratching my car with his bike oo would have sent me to Orthopedic Enugu. IN THE WHOLE OF LAGOS, NO PLACE IS AS UNPLANNED, DIRTY, HOPELESS, USELESS AND WORTHLESS LIKE EJIGBO. A LOT OF CRIMINALS LIVE HERE TOO. BEWARE SOUL BROTHER. The major source of income here is Okada riding. This is one place you will go and see more than 1 million bikes swarming on you like stray animals in a zoo. O boy... Na die be dis.

Oworoshonki
This is one funny place I will like to talk about in detail later. AVOID THESE PLACE LIKE A DEVILS KINGDOM! SO MANY TERRIBLE ROADS AND PLENTY ONE WAYS. The funny thing about here is the ONE WAYS. Because the people here are poor and they barely have cars. This place barely has traffic but the local government Iddiots there woke up one day and decided to make everywhere one way! You know why? I have it on good authority that Police officers and LG Chairman here make good money here everyday through one ways. If they catch you here, 20,000 Naira straight. No begging. You know another funny thing? They must catch you if you are not familiar with the terrain. You know why? GOOGLE MAPS WILL FAIL YOU HERE ON ONE WAYS BECAUSE IT WAS SUDDEN AND UNPLANNED! Google maps will never take you through one way on VI But you see Oworo? Forget it. All the one ways here are NOT GOTTEN BY GOOGLE MAPS AND IT WILL FAIL YOU TERRIBLY. Infact, Police Officers here will hide and be watching you... Praying that you take any of the plenty one ways here. It will take only the residents here to save you from taking one way here. Pilots, NEVER EVER TAKE A TRIP TO OWOROSHONKI. BLACKLIST HERE WITH PASSION. TERRIBLE ROADS AND PLENTY ONE WAYS) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 100 MILLION naira.


AbuleEgba
Dead Zone. No arguements. Offline straight. Price is 15,000 from anywhere.


Ikorodu
I can't even shout. Once a rider requests here, simply tell him 1 BILLION to scare him or her away. If they have the mind, let them pay the 1 billion. This place is so dead that you will blow empty to come back. I pity you and your car if a rider takes you to Igbogbo or Ishawo. God forbid.

Oyingbo
These Zone has a reputation for being driver killers. Plenty of animal human beings play here at night. If you receive a request to go here at night, please run. High chances of being robbed. They will request you here at night and kill you! Your car is gone. Your life is gone. I don't even have offline price for here. If you request me to this place, I will arrive your pickup location, beat you up and then leave. Case closed.

Lagos Island
This is one Funny place am yet to Understand what really goes on here. The people living here are not serious. THEY ARE SO HAPPY AND ALWAYS PARTYING FROM YOUNG TO OLD. EVERYDAY, THEY ARE ALWAYS SETTING CANOPY AND WHITE CHAIRS AT ONE PARTICULAR LARGE AREA LIKE THAT. I can bet my balls that 80% of people here are JOBLESS. THEY ARE ALWAYS PARTYING, DRINKING AND EATING NON STOP. If you doubt me, TAKE A TRIP TO LAGOS ISLAND TODAY. YOU MUST SEE PEOPLE SETTING UP CANOPIES AND CHAIRS AT THAT SPOT! You know what I find weird about them again? They will party from 10 am to 2 pm. By 2 pm, they will remove all the canopies. Coming back by 4 pm, they are setting same white chairs and canopy again! Weird right? Like... Why scatter what you will assemble again soon? This circle continues daily till the year runs out. On a dark side, there roads are very small and tiny. You can barely drive well here. WHATEVER YOU DO, NEVER GO TO LAGOS ISLAND AT NIGHT. THEY WILL ROB YOU. I HAVE NO OFFLINE PRICE FOR HERE COZ I FEAR THEM A LOT.


Apongbon
Please don't go here at night. YOU MAY DIE!

Mushin
I RAISE THE BLOOD OF JESUS ON MY LIFE AND CAR AGAINST ANYBODY THAT WILL REQUEST ME HERE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. You will collect beating. A lot of criminals, touts, animal human beings, Boko Haram, ISWAP and Bandits dwell here. If you love yourself, don't go here during the day. If you must go, let it be with Police or Army escort coupled with offline price of 350,000.

Ijesha and Lawanson axis of Surulere
Surulere is generally a good area with good roads. But one thing I hate about this area is that just like Lekki, they will turn your car to Okada. Ask me how. Someone will request a trip from Akerele to Bode Thomas to eat cake. If you end it, another trip will come. Where to? Stadium surulere. If you end it, another one will enter. Where to? Animashaun to buy fruits! Ending that one, another one will enter. Where to? OFADA BOY to eat Ofada rice! All these trips are 500 naira each! Very annoying but I endure because people here are civilised and mature. Believe me WHEN I TELL YOU THAT GOD IS ALIVE IN SURULERE. ANGELS ARE ON GUARD HERE TOO. Very good and educated folks. Surulere is always on surge too because they are always moving around eating cakes, meat pie and ice cream. They don't want trouble and trouble doesn't want them. Just like Lekki people, they fuccck a lot too. But always beware of Local government boys here. They are not smiling. Again, if you get a trip to Ijesha or Lawanson axis, cancel immediately. Unless you can endure terrible roads. Ijesha, Aguda and Lawanson boys are always mad and do drugs a lot.


N.B
These are my personal opinions. Understand it however you want. Am sorry. But its the truth. Some will take this as a JOKE. But believe me when I tell you that 90% of what I said here are accurate. You may be joking with your life if you see this as a Joke.

ajoks533:
Compliment of the season everyone. Hope we enjoyed ourselves and remember... Don't drink and drive this period.

Firstly, my partner decided to flex with his car this period, as it was Christmas day. So I am still waiting on him to release the car.

However, happened 2 days ago as I was trying to navigate through the city in an attempt to get used to the road network here in Abuja, which is going fine. I discovered that my phone was showing warning of over heating. When I tried to pick it up, I was so scared as it was terribly hot. A toddler can easily get burnt by the heat.

I had the Google map running and the screen was at 40% brightness and charger was plugged in as the battery was running down. It's an Infinix note 4 phone.

Please, has anyone noticed the this same issue? I had to switch off the phone and allowed it to cool down before turning it back.

You need a phone hanger you can attach to an AC vent in your car. It costs #1,000 only - just ask those boys that sell phone accessories in traffic.

Hang your phone to your AC vent using the phone hanger. Even if your phone is 1%, it will charge fully to 100% within 2 hours. It won't be hot again. But make sure you have a casing for the back of your phone so moisture doesn't enter into it.

If this doesn't solve the problem, I owe you #20,000. Just come back on the thread and claim your cool cash.

Felicity001:
Shuu!!! Rude ke? Abi u b rude boy? abeg invite me for Xmas chicken jare... abi u no go host us again like U promise?

Izzou and Pocohantas are supposed to host us ooo. Make dem show quick quick.

The year is still young.

peeps4u:
You're mot nice.

Merry Xmas; all d same.

Merry Christmas, bro.
I was just saying it wasn't practical.

@Felicity001 I'm sorry if I come across as rude. That's not my intention ooo.

Felicity001:
Let me help u out with this.
Anytime you find urself in such a situation and the rider refuses to cancel. Put in your bolt app and set destination to the location of your Uber rider.
You could be lucky you know and you won’t loose anything.

Does it make any sense? Abeg hit d like button

Actually, it doesn't to me; with all due respect. No shade or pun intended.

Seems not practical.

peeps4u:
I heard that driver came to your office yesterday with soldiers?

Don't mind my amebo

No ooo, he didn't come.
We settled amicably.

kodred:
5k to travel to IB for this festive period? Kuku kill me.

Eroticestasy charge nothing less than 20k for that trip. No need for welfare and Transport back.

I absolutely concur. What the driver is putting into the deal is his (safe driving) skill and time. The time, especially, is very valuable this season.

I will manage 5k to drive someone from Lekki to Ikeja. Manage ooo ...

ajoks533:
Good morning guys, will hopefully be entering road this week by the grace of God.

Please, how do you deal with butt pains, butt sweat, back pain and back sweat which comes after driving for a very long time.

Have been trying to see if I can get any thing to help reduce them... Saw one Silicon Seat pad and one other Car seat cover with inbuilt fan.

I think you should Google and learn how to set your seat at the right height and right angle. Once you get that right, none of these will be an issue any more.

peeps4u:
Actually, I read sometimes ago, just after the launch of Oride that Opay's original motive is their wallet to be the traditional payment system for many. With the launchings and introductions of various services and may more to come, with time, it will be hard not to see any ody not engaging the use of any of their services. This will definitely make the adoption of their wallet easy and encompasing.

Very true.

OPay might get so valuable that it would begin buying up our traditional banks.

That scares me.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Another line of thought

Don't mind me sha...I guess China has been on my mind lately. I'm starting to fall in love with that place [/color]

Actually, it validates the point you made earlier about China wanting Africa under her wings when the Cold War starts. Getting Africa under China's wings is the general strategy.

OPay is one of the tactics to achieve that.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Quick Question

We have Uber, Bolt and Opay as the three major ehailing companies in Lagos

But why does Opay demand more information to use their app?

Is it because they want to protect the driver, or is it much more than that? [/color]

OCar is part of an ecosystem (OPay). The more the valid information of users of an ecosystem there is, the more valuable the ecosystem is for the purpose(s) for which it was established because trust in the ecosystem will be high.

A good example of trusted and valuable ecosystems are PayPal and Amazon. My thoughts are that OPay is positioning to be a payments ecosystem. There is nothing you do that doesn't require a payment - go to work (OCar), visit the Supermarket one bus stop away (Scan QR), urgent meeting and need to beat traffic (ORide), hungry (OFood), broke (OLoan), rich and want to invest (OWealth), want to gift someone cash (Transfer); etc.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The moment you revealed to him that the rider was a JJC(an honest statement though), offered him an offline deal, and suggested to pay via transfer after the trip,..... That was when the Devil crept into the car and started advising Mr Pilot

Compliments of the season sire[/color]

Thank you sir and compliments of the season to you and to everyone on this thread.

Bolt says I should pay the driver #2600.
From my calculations:
1) Base fare #200
2) Distance is 23 km, not the 35 km Sakamanje he did #65/km * 23 km = #1495
3) Time: He got to the foot of Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge in traffic and then turned back into VI in traffic, spending more time on the trip than was necessary. In fact, the app estimated 50 minutes for the journey; my man spent 2 hours 47 minutes parambulating. Let me just pay him for 2 hours: #10/minute * 120 minutes = #1200
4) I'm adding Lekki toll gate (Ozumba Mbadiwe) fee = #200
5) Total is #3235
6) There is a #300 discount on the ride #3235 - #300 = #2935.
7) I sent the driver my analysis as well as #3000; and messaged him that I will pay the "remaining" #1900 if he makes a convincing case to me.

Thanks guys.

chillex8:
If I were you, I will send him the #2,600 now or asap.
I can see you had a discount of 300 naira also.

Let Taxify do the fare review themselves. It's not your business.
They will eventually message you if you are to top up or not.

Thank you my brother. I will send #2600 now. Let him escalate the trip. I will top up if Bolt asks me to.

Jaydeehena:
@ Nitigriti, don't you think he suffered a trip failure and don't know how to go about it? Distance covered shows 35km, that's over 2k not to even talk of drive duration.

Update.
He probably used Sakamanje. My office to the drop off point is 23 km according to Google maps.
And I didn't even report to you guys that he took a longer route; probably because I told him the client is not familiar with Lagos.

He got to Alexander roundabout just before Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge and refused to climb the link bridge. Instead, he turned off into Ikoyi and went back to VI (Ozumba Mbadiwe).

When I noticed the deviation, I called him. He said the rider told him to take VI route. Rider that is JJC in Lagos.

He just set out to be fraudulent.

chillex8:
Did he later come to the office?

He wants to come on Monday.

On second thoughts, I will manually calculate the trip after Church and send him what I arrive at. Then I will call him.

It's possible the trip failed. I never thought of that.

Jaydeehena:
@ Nitigriti, don't you think he suffered a trip failure and don't know how to go about it? Distance covered shows 35km, that's over 2k not to even talk of drive duration.

Actually, you have a point there. But there are ways to resolve it. For example, we can both manually calculate the trip and come to an agreement on a trip fare; rather than the path he chose.

I'm not the reason his trip failed. He's either not using a good phone or he's not connected to a good 4G network. Nevertheless, this can be worked out; rather than him threatening to come and cause trouble in my office.
