Yes boss. I hail thee sir.

Good evening bro, all will be well. Just remain positive and strong.

Sorry bro. It wasn't that deep though. I think the guys were just trying to make u feel lively or sort of. I may be wrong though. As for those girls, don't mind them.

pope191:
Home bond, mo le wa Ku... The kind of insult I receive dis week, well I'll use it as story one day. Yesterday, 9 guys and some girls were going to club, so they ordered for rides, those guys made a mess of my brain cos they saw I wasn't feeling dia groove, at a point they ask me "what the problem Oga, chill! We r together", later ask, what if they give me 10k to join them, drink on them and free babe, the girl that came with our ride yell and say I shouldnt dull too many truck, I can pick one, but not her... I just shake my head on d wheel, chai! My eyes have seen enough for 1 day, if deh gift me d girl for free, heaven knows I won't take. Dairy of a Bolt driver

Thank you. God bless you

From your post, his withdrawal started since his marital choice. I advise the family, siblings and parents, begin to show his wife love. You can't have your brother's ears when he still feels you all hate his wife.

Freshprince91:
It is true bro. The Ford Mondeo has made me bankrupt, i can't even face my people again, despite spending 174k to fix the damn thing, the problem of accelerating slowly when in motion still persist.
The Ford mechanic who have been working on it ( Oxygen sensor ,rare brake pads, serviced transmission engine and shock absorber ) asked me to change the complete fuel pump and filter which i did but sorry is still my case.
My reason for telling him to get the Camry.

ajoks533:
Still on this matter. Any advice?

Let me help you cc Gazzuzz

Your head dey there.

There was a time Otedola took Molue, though some might say it was a public stunt, but it is a confirmation these people also occasionally go for normal lifestyles as every individual.

Beside, I don't even think any top CEO will put his hot line or biz line on Uber or any ehailing platform.

ajoks533:
Please let's forget this argument before it will linger like the last one that Spartacus initiated.

The truth is this, riding uber depends on individuals and the state of their minds and needs per the time of request.

A top notch CEO can decide to ride on Uber and still have his security details with him... Maybe 1 or 2 and you won't even know. Some even sneak out just to have that freedom you and I have, without any security personnel body checking every of his movement... Or do you think they too don't do nkoro things?

It's true a very high profile CEO must and is always advised to follow the guidelines of his security details to avoid stories that touch. However, remember Hon. Rotimi Amaechi when he was the Governor of Rivers State used to ride around the city on a motor bike doing inspection on projects. I had a chat with one of the security men assigned to him then. He said he doesn't give any signal that he wants to move, he just mount and speed off, they have to start making radio calls to track him down.

We just give too much value to people in this part of the world, that's why we don't believe these people can decide on few occasions to live a normal life, even if it's for just 30mins. Moreover, no be everybody know everybody, even when you hear their names on a reg... Like me, If Otedola or any of his child or whatever takes a ride with me, I won't even know, cos I don't know him in person or taken note of how he looks.

Some of you think you can feign brilliance with too much English or words. We were talking of CEO using uber or not, after the fact was confirmed that CEOs use Uber, you came here to say "only a foolish high net worth individual would use Uber". Are those CEOs listed not high net worth individuals?.

Have a nice day Mr CEO.

thelastorca:
is that what you took from what i wrote?

where did i write only foolish ceos use uber?

this is why i said this thread is an insight into thinking processes.

oya, i am ceo of my own company too and i am riding uber . so my last 10 drivers have also carried ceo.

someone was talking about how a ceo was riding in his vehicle and making calls. you think a ceo of a big bank will enter into an unsecured vehicle and start making calls for a stranger to listen in on?so that next thing you will hear on social media how bank so and so is taking over this company?

you don't understand that CEOs are also assets?

you remind me of one day when a bus conductor was saying - the same singlet i wear is the singlet fashola wears. we are all the same. thats the reasoning you are bringing to this argument.

if you actually think that a company that pays a person in hundreds of millions, has security dedicated to him 24/7, depends n him to direct to fortunes of the company will allow him to risk himself/herself, the company's operations and plans, for a ride in an unsecured platform then continue to wallow in your ignorance of i carried the ceo of a lower tier company. if it makes you feel better, so be it.

uber is of no benefit whatsoever to a high networt individual with driver, spy, police pilot vehicle.

ajoks533:
Blother wey mumu. Others dey hustle to make money... Him dey dia dey access the babe to save her number... Mugu 40.

Very mumu guy, and he was even trying to emotionally blackmail the lady by accusing her of looking down on him and his job.
The lady was even coolheaded in that chat, many ladies would have gone more hysterical than that and blasted him.

thelastorca:
I have decided not to bother. From a security and privacy perspective, only a very foolish high net worth individual would use uber. If you want to compare tobi of bbn with a ceo, that's fine.

You realise multinationals have security offices that issue safety warning bulletins? Do you know the amount of risk exposure I would get as a ceo riding uber? My phone number would automatically be available to people outside of a closed circle. That is a safety risk all on its own. You people think all ceos are created equal? You think ceo of gtb bank is the same as ceo of cakes and cream?

Some things are not worth arguing. It is however interesting to observe thought processes and rationalisations.

Theres a thread on fp where a babe started getting calls from a driver. I cannot begin to imagine the nonsense that would happen with a ceo, in this Nigeria, especially with Nigerians wey no get filter. Common sharing my phone no during close meeting, I started getting yahoo calls from the abroad

That's your own view. From "No CEO can use Uber and now to only foolish CEO will use Uber"
The truth has been confirmed that CEOs use Uber as against your initial argument. No need to overflog it again with "only a foolish CEO will use Uber" blablabla

Y1nka:
Lmao, the guy is myopic jare..

About 6 months ago, I picked TOBI , the one from big brother (kohinor) to Lekki phase one. He sat in front , and just on call with his friend (a lady like that). I’ve picked Down to EArth top executives too. Sometimes issues happen and executives don’t fly.


Plus I prefer them to all this girls that use their one week savings on UBER/bolt. Lmao

I think he has realised he goofed with that argument. Baba no argue it again.

ofime123:
bros I understand small but not all can pls explain to me were the 80 is coming from because I no too know maths

May be this will help;

11200 - 300 = 10900. (300 being toll fee and 10900 being the real total earning)
10900 * 80% or 10900 * 0.8 = 8720 (remember 80% is yours while 20% is uber's)

So 8720 is your own earning minus toll fee after uber's 20% share deduction.

8720 + 300 = 9020. (9020 in total, that's plus toll fee, will be displayed on your dashboard)

baba say av got nothing to lose.

Naso, since u na go kuku go home on Friday via same road.

Gentlelife50:
Meanwhile this neighbor wants me to drop his family at badagry on Friday then come back on Sunday to take them back.
From Shangotedo to badagry.
I told him 40k, he shouted. I told him the road is very good.
Asked him if he have been there recently he said yes that he was there yesterday with his car that he doesn't want to go with his car, for my mind na my own car good to suffer.
If any driver is interested he wants to pay 20k, let me link u

If any driver takes that offer for 20k, I'm sure the cars isn't his.

This is the same thing some riders do; they leave their cars at home and hope to take Uber to God forsaken roads, but when drivers reject the trips, they become furious and start ranting about how it is unprofessional

DUBES:
I have seen a third video of the same woman in another church again for the same miracle. I won’t be surprised if a 4th video surface again. Yeye Dey smell

There are already about 5 different pastors.
Go to wale gates twitter handle.

And to think drivers will suffer bad rating, not because they are unprofessional or err, but because they refuse to run cheap errands for riders, which isn't the purpose of ehailing.

northbird:
Boss, don't be dissuaded some riders are like that. Since you didn't go, though it cost you.

I salute your resoluteness. Your mere act has implanted an impression that not all drivers can take any kind of shitty errands.

If she encounters 5 or more drivers that display the same kind of gentle but firm refusal to degrade the partner job on e-hailing. Then it wud b d standard.

Sometimes I wonder, wat is wrong with some riders, you are not handicapped/physically challenged neither are you an invalid, yet you refuse to run your own errands.

I will write uber and Bolt a message on the need to address their riders in mails and texts on the purpose why the platform was created : ease of movement from one location to another in Lagos.



That is beyond customer service, the other day, a Lady too asks one dude here to buy her a pack of protection.



I don't think uber and bolt regularly sensitize (in mails n msgs) their riders on inappropriate behaviour towards the driver.

All I see them doing is sending messages n bonus and certain discounts to bring in more revenue.

There is a certain level of professional distance that has to b maintained, we r meeting for the first time n you start sending me to buy you food.

Bolt and Uber needs to up their game on inappropriate rider behaviour, not rating this time.

Gentlelife50:
Bros no vex u get small stature?

LOL, see question.

How dare you turn down rider's request to buy her food?
If you can't please your rider, please take your car off Uber platform

pope191:
My last 2 riders r just funny set of people, my rating have dropped so drastically, but its all good. The drag with the first was passing the toll gate when it was opened freely to all motorist, so she insist not to pay for toll gate and I made her understand, I'm meant to take what the app display. The second one went to mart to get some stuff, from dia to 2 different banks, then to get shawarma, as we r driving on she saw a local food vendor and ask me if I can cross over to get food for her... I turned to her in funny manner and ask what? She said food, I crack a smile and politely tell her no, I don't do such. I drive on and she saw another place and ask if I can help her get food nah, other drivers do help out, I'm wicked, dis dat, I'm going to get a star... It is well, this too shall pass

OGHENAOGIE:
veron once said that what made some of them come to Europe is not to learn football but for the money... better talents de any where let's agree we lack good organised league...

And isn't the very good players that find foreign clubs? Do you think all local based players would stay in Nigeria if they receive foreign offers?
What keeps them still in naija is that many of them are yet to prove how good they are on consistent basis, say like 2-3 seasons, and foreign clubs are yet to come for them. If they are good enough or put in just a lil above average performance like Musa, Odeh, Sunday MBA, Etebo etc, foreign clubs will come for them.

Local league isn't where to look for talent for National teams. It is not only in Nigeria, every African country with large proportion of their country men playing outside always recruit from foreign clubs into their national teams. Cote divoire do it, many of their boys are foreign based, they even brought Zaha into the team despite plating for English youth team before.

I agree with you. Drogba, Eeto, Toure, Okocha, KANU, Weah, Diouf and others were all playing local leagues even at the very tops of their career forms. Good players are mostly found in local leagues, only the bad players move to Europe and foreign clubs.

Good morning all,pls I still need help on d below,I use a samsung s7 and spectranet

Change to mtn (as its coverage is wide and most reliable).

OGHENAOGIE:
then stop saying home based players ain't good enough etebo was already a super eagles player in 2015 while at warri wolves before moving abroad... ur statement makes it look like every player in the Nigerian league is thrash... odey left as finished product and is doing well...

Yes, few that are good before moving abroad get call up, like Ezenwa, Etebo, Enyeama, Sunday Mba etc but the reality is that you can't have sizable number of local players in Nigerian national team because they rarely stay back home once they are good. It is a rare occasion when you have local players good enough for SE.

Can we still have local players in SE? Yes, but it can't come often since they don't stay at home. That's it.

We can't force mediocre home based players on national team coach because we want to promote local league players when in reality, many of them would have moved abroad if they are truly that good enough.

Take it or leave it, abroad is where better talents are. Local talents also eye abroad, so how can you now think the best talents will now be found in local league? This isn't underage category but senior national team

OGHENAOGIE:
good points which shows we talent in d league despite how poorly organized... afelokhai sikiru alimi are good prospect in the league.... reality is even if our league is well organized so long our players travel out then the bulk of national team stars ll be foreign based...

Every country has talent in their leagues, no matter how small. But the fact is that every African country whose good players always move abroad has most or all their national team players from foreign clubs, except few countries like north africans and SA whose players don't flood abroad like us.

OGHENAOGIE:
so when Holland failed to qualify for last world cup and euros it means they are shits or when Egypt after 3 AFCON win failed to qualify for 2.. Nigeria didn't make 2 afcon after 2013 triumph did we throw away the likes of Mikel and musa...?

Hello, CHAN didn't just start. Which CHAN tournaments have local SE players ever put on a superlative performance that was seen to be above what we see with traditional SE. This isn't about getting knocked out by Togo alone, but about local based players aren't ever good enough because very few food ones among them always move abroad.

If you were a local based player and topped scorer chat this season, it would be apparent you would find foreign club following season and move. How can you ever think such league will be looked at when looking for national team players? Except few exceptional ones that may come once in a while like Sunday Mba, Enyeama, Adenugba etc. And like I argued, these players moved abroad almost immediately they got noticed. Goog players don't stay long in local league here.

CONFAMA:
Very old pictures. Dey no born am well to dey flex anyhow at this moment

It might be old picture but you're wrong to say he can't flex at this moment, they guy still pose infront of his luxurious cars with caption he no fit fold, just after Mompha was arrested.

Eizenburg:
Unfortunately, drivers don’t understand how much power they have. I don’t think 3 to 5 days of not driving would kill any driver, but 3 to 5 days of zero income and Uber would be forced to acquiesce to drivers’ requests.

You're right. It irks me seeing people posting as if Uber if doing drivers favour. If Uber or bolt leaves today, there are many more willing platforms that are ready to take over. Uber needs drivers more.

ATTemi:
There’s this diminutive player in Enyimba, he plays 10, the young lad is very good.
His name is Chukwuka Onuwa.

Did he get call up to local based super eagles that just lost to Togo?

Many of these local guys aren't as good as your portray them. Do u people know we local based SE and they do play CHAN, how more impressive have they been above our national SE squad?

Yinkerb:
My Name is Yinker Babs, am an Uber/Taxify/Bolt Driver. I was kidnapped and robbed yesterday at gun point at closing of work at my gate at ajayi bankole street cele egbe. They made away with the car and all my belongings. Please my people help me watch out for a white Toyota Camry EPE951EZ, big for-nothing. You can reach any police station or call this number 08167576408. Thanks

Sorry for that bro. Hope you've reported at police station?

HeadNigga:
The NFF doesn't give our local league d attention it deserves that's why they are blind to the talents we have in our local clubs. Always waiting for England to discover first then they poach. This was why my Cuz opted for England

Mention one local league player that deserves eagles call up.

Any above average local league players always leave the league to foreign clubs after a season or two, that explains why we don't have much local league players in eagles. Once you put on a good performance in the local scene, you move to abroad. Musa was the top scorer in local league before he moved, this mountain of fire striker few years ago also moved abroad after good performances, and so many more.

Decolonel:
I too like this guy. Nobody knows what he does to make his money. And guess what?.. He doesn't give a fiok

He actually has a business, he owns a club house.

hatchetman:
they wont get the message becos its naira marley.. hypocrites

Leave them. Naira Marley is the cause of BH, Buhari's failure to pay minimum wage, high prices of goods, high unemployment rate etc.

Bro, why don't you have a single thread for these cars instead of creating threads for each? It can be easier for prospective buyers to see the varieties and choose. My humble opinion though (might be bad for the business)
