Those guys working at that toll enh they’re inhuman and wicked.
I’d a situation with one I think a month ago at the ikoyi link bridge. That was the night UBA had a show at admiralty road in Lekki. I just passed the toll with the last 5h cash on me so I was left with 200naira cash so needed H to complete the toll pass, I begged the guy to let me pass he totally refused, ok is there no other means of payment let me use my MasterCard. For where? The guy no even answer me, all plea fell on deft ears. And I was trying to go pick up a rider. Na so the guy say make I reverse and clear well for others to pass. I obeyed him thinking maybe he’ll reconsider after sometime. After few minutes this guy came out of his cubicle and ordered me to reverse and look for alternative route to my destination else he’ll call security. Shuu! Call security?! Like, are you serious?! Na so I enter my motor drove straight and blocked the road and it was d only toll opended that night. I came down of my car and told do your worse, call heaven call earth, call even ur papa or all the red beret soilders wey dey island. I’ve cause a little queue by this time.

All the while cars have been passing and I’ve been trying to wave some down for help but non bothered to stop to even ask what the problem was.

The stupid guy has gone to call one of his colleagues, that one came with a walking talking on his hands, I just looked at him and laughed inside my belle. The guy asked, sir what’s the problem I explained everything to him and how I’ve begged him and asked for other alternative means. I was even thinking this one will remedy the situation I no even know say he is another broke ass fool. He just talked and said I should clear so people could pass. After he said that I just ignored him since he was not there to solve any problem.

Las las, na one gentle guy come waka come didn’t even say a word, gave the guy 5h and asked him him to give me the change of 100box.

That was how I passed that night o. As I picked up the rider I just went home straight.

So that card I think it’s a welcome development going forward to save one from such embarrassment but they should also make cash an alternative as well.

Please is there anyone with OGA GAZZUZZZ number? My Elantra swerves off the road on a little over 40km speed, EPS light is on though.

Wheel balancing and alignment has been done twice.

Steering is electric.

Thanks in advance.

This una talk of
winter is coming
January is looming
Next month is dreadful
Yen Yen Yen always makes me laugh. But I tell y'all, in January, nothing changes. Its quite an attitude from personalities that determined what is winter for them. For me, bring on the January!

I only dread rain season because it's a trap for drivers.

Brah! That app monitors your every movement o. The app is given sufficient permissions on your phone and keeps running? Hmmmm

Frequent phone battery charge because of app is annoying too.

Someone agrees with my thoughts finally

Let me log into the MI6 site. I'm qualified already [/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.

[color=royalblue]But the app is shiiityy
Their customer service is the worst sef

Before Ocar came out, I've been reading on China, AI and the future of technology. And just recently, I'm starting to get convinced that these guys are up to something

One of the reasons of the US clamp down on Huawei was that they suspected the company was sharing data with the Chinese government.
And already, The Chinese president has said his country would be the AI giant of the world before 2025. And what's the major requirement for AI? DATA

I think these guys are up to something. Not just Nigeria, but China is trying to get Africa on its side when the Cold war starts

Sorry
I just felt like typing this rubbish thought somewhere. Make una no vex for derailing [/color]

As a would be Uber driver, he should use his Google map to locate it.

I kinda agree with Felicity001 about these ceaseless questions

[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]

oluwashola4me:
Thank you, brother.
Where in Maryland precisely?

nitigriti:
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.

oluwashola4me:
Good evening, brother.
I took the Uber online test last week, please how long do I have to wait for a response from them?
Thanks.

Prince3:
We didn't hear from you again. What happens, didn't you collect the car again and was the outcome of ur journey?

nitigriti:
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.

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

Mugu!

Guys, it is real.... let us all endeavor to always check our cars after dropping off riders. (or riders that seems like bird of ill-omen). Took 2guys to Baruwa inside area,dropped them at their location (area which doesn't a residential), I re-parked to clean my car before embarking on another trip, found a bottle drink under the front chair, what it is I don't know, seems mixtures of liquid drinks, threw it away, cleaned up and just 2minute drive away from the street, Sars stopped me and questioned me, they couldn't get on my nerves despite their approach because I was so calm with them with positive response. Decided to check my car, no issue. What baffles me is the way they searched, to the extent of opening my footmart. Infact, lets just be careful even as we pray for protection. I thank God because the story would have been different by now. I hale everybody + Uber barred me today with 6% cancellation rate.

It seems this is the first major job you will be applying for. You are talking about letter of appointment when you've not even gotten feedback about the test you took. The test is just the first hurdle to cross after shortlisting from the thousands that applied.

You should be talking about when you'd be invited for interview. Abi you think this is an admission into a university?

calabardick:
I think drivers suppose to have a platform where they post any salvage/lemon car they've driven, this will help other drivers avoid such vehicle when call for inspection, or it will also help them to know what to look out for during inspection.

Salvage cars everywhere.

A car given to an innocent driver yesterday is already giving him serious issue today. I have to tow him from Jakande (ipara) to the owner's house at sangotedo.

On my way back this evening, I was behind him at Chisco traffic light, as the light turns green we moved, suddenly his car began to jerk till it finally stopped. When I noticed the phone on his dashboard I knew he's a fellow, I overtook him, reverse then park in front of him.

The rider started to hala, i explained to her that cars can go hairwire anytime. She ordered for another and left. (The driver that came to pick the lady didn't even care to come out at least to see what's wrong with a fellow driver that warrants his passenger to request for another vehicle, even when he saw our hazard lights on, he was relaxing inside his 4 inches Corolla)

When I asked the guy what the problem was he said that today is his first day with the said car. He has no idea of whatsoever. He suggested contacting those guys at Ipara to come and check, I told him to abort that idea, but rather let him call the owner. When he call the lady I noticed the change on his face, I asked him to come inside my car so that I can hear their conversation as well. The woman asked him if she's a mechanic, if he can't sort himself out let him sleep there with the car, she drop the call.

I was angry, I got her number and call her;
Me: Good evening ma
Madam: Na who be this?
Me: Madam Funke, your car and your driver are obstructing traffic, you may come to LCC office tomorrow to claim your car.
Madam: no sir please, let me talk to my driver please
Me: Please not with my phone ma, call him.

She call the driver, by this time I've already paired his phone with my car Bluetooth so the both of us can hear.

Driver: hello ma
Madam: hello ma too, olorubruku, otiyawere
Driver: excuse me ma
Madam: so you called LASTMA to come and tow me car away, ehn? Ee no go better for you, all of you are the same
Driver: madam I don't like the way you're talking, I didn't call any LASTMA, the car breakdown at the traffic light, they help me to push it, they overhead your response when I called you, that gets them upset.
Madam: my response kill all of you dia
Driver: madam what's the way out? Are you going to call your mechanic?
Madam: young man please can you bring my car? I don't blame you, that's how the previous driver destroyed my engine, now you're planning to destroy this new engine I put at Ladipo? Please return my car, I will call Ladipo tomorrow.
Driver: please ma, how do I return this car now when it's not even starting again?
Madam: anyhow you want to do, if you like push it but I need my car here, tonight.
Driver: but ma, I (she interrupted him with a question)
Madam: how much dey your hand?
Driver: 3500
Madam: since morning? 3500? Ah, wetin I no go see for Lagos? Who sent me to do Uber business?
Driver: have you forgotten that you asked me to do alignment and balancing today, and remember there was no fuel when I pick the car, I've spent more than 10k today
Madam: look for someone that can tow you for 5k, when you get here I will pay the balance.
Driver: okay ma, but no one will collect such amount by this time plus the distance, let estimate 10k, because of traffic
Madam: 10k? Are you towing the car to hell?
Driver: I'm at Jakande, it's far
Madam: and so? Is Jakande at sango? Is Jakande at ibafo? Is Jakande at seme? Oga please bring back my car.
Driver: let me look for someone that can tow me
Madam: whatever, I'm waiting.

That's how I tow him to united estate, the basket mouth woman came out and was ranting

Madam: where the towing van?
Driver: I didn't see any so I asked someone to tow me
Madam: how much? This one isn't a towing van, it'll be cheaper
Driver: her said 15, I didn't have a choice because LCC have already positioned their van to tow the car
Madam: oga, na 7k dey my hand, he will balance you, thank you
Driver: but I told you how much I have on me?
Madam: and I told you how much I can afford, please can I have my car key?

He drop the key and we left her house, when we get to the road he gave me some money (I don't know the amount since I didn't collect), I rejected it, I told him to forget. I told him that I wanted to make sure he get some bucks from the woman, in order to recover his expenses. The guy was so excited going home with 10k

I've advice him to run away from that car and the madam, they don't worth it

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.

Prince3:
Hmm, wow. What I have been searching for?. Hold it tight, don't miss it oo. This deal looks too sweet. According to how I was advice by someone here who happens to be my inspirator in the hustle, 3m naira is the highest it should be.
