Boss nah anointing I deh do and anointing no cover ignorance. Even the water wey will deh use do anointing don cost. Someting wey we deh buy 5k is now 25k. The last person wey I anoint em car, nah the apple biggie wey I deh drink I use complete the hustle. Abi u go let your client go, because you no see water buy?

Quite hilarious coming from a driver...

Losing one mind is a terrible thing. The people around you ignoring your vulnerable state is one of the worst thing that can be sum as man unkind to mankind. So I’ll overlook your ignorance. Else, it becomes a case of two insane folks.

Check for the meaning of “Reprobate Mind”. That’s the state you are right now. It can only be reset by a therapist. If you or the people around you let it linger more, you’ll get to soliloquize stage and from there to the stage where you start hurting flies as appetizer. I hope people out here put you in prayer. That’s another man wasting away so fast. Substance abuse I guess.

For need of therapeutic! Who in his right sense will say this economy is the same with the previous. Like think about it? Calculate the cost of food stuffs, how much you spend on fuel weekly and stress of even being able to get it. How much were they selling cars during GEJ era? How many wedding events do one observe lately? No gain saying the economy is in a state of shame and limbo, where we can’t even differentiate our left from right. I careless the pity you support, but don’t try to play on people intelligence. That’s an insult to the already pains people are facing.

Dapo take your medication and you’ll be fine.

There is NOTHING that I am experiencing now that is new... Honestly I am yet to see any "new suffering"...lol
Why I agreed that things are bad, we should not be acting as if it was any better off before...I am not sure we were enjoying before... Everything I have achieved, I STRUGGLED to get it, year before, years after and NOW! More reasons why I don't VOTE!!!
I know quite well that Nig situation is beyond redeemable and you voters are just wasting your time, reason for the tears every four years since 1999!!
Politics is not my forte, as much as I can, I avoid discussing it because I don't like what it does to seemingly intelligent people... Very early in life, I learnt that people who are trying to vote out a thief sef na THIEF!!!!

I’ll advice you take out time to check your mental state. Don’t know if there’s a machine that does that, but on the honest side, it is necessary you do.

Sorry for your ordeal sir.

Uhmm AC wahala. All these expenses go don pass 100K.

How much was the evaporator you bought?

40k


I’ve spent way above 100k, but costly mistake by those guys. They don’t calm down to fix things and end up making one to fix another problem. I have bought belt twice now. One they put belt on alternator. I was just hearing that stupid sound around 10 and so tired to do anything. I managed to get the car home and by the time I drove to mech place, belt was far gone.

In all of these, I come deh petty for people wey deh use Camry. I pray they don’t see ac issue.

Pearl1910:
Lolz... U know the code na. AC needs gas before u know u don spend 200k to put gas.

Wetin my eyes don see for AC matter this year, my mouth no fit talk em finish. Still on it.

On a very good day, my gas just go down. Felt there’s a leakage somewhere, so I went to the repairer place and he search thro. He couldnt see leakage checking thro the pipes. So the culprit should be the evaporator. He removed it and we weren’t crystal clear on it. Let’s just change it, he said. After 3 days of doing that, gas out again.

So I calm down and check thro myself, only to realize there’s hole in the pipe the power steering oil bottle is resting on. Fixed it and use the ac like two week. Then, I start observing noise from the compressor. When it’s not on, the plate will be rolling and making some kind of funny sound. Logically, I have to use ac to stop the noise, till it became unbearable. 23k went down the drain for that.

Used it for some time, but frequently have fuse cuts, till I use wire to bridge fuse on a day I was rushing to meet up with some things and the compressor fried last month. Oga compressor don go, we go buy another one, change drier and flush the system. I get choice?

Ac was mad and we thank the lord. After a week, I don’t understand the blowing, top gas and after 2 days nothing. They didn’t tight this discharge hose well. Oya! Take it out and change the rubber, refill gas… I didn’t even get to Yaba from ikeja and the thing don show em color.

Change ac man, he have to bring everything out. We agree to change hose and the compressor seal was leaking. Took it back to the guy that changed it and the seller told him, he can’t take it back, but will fix the leaking seal. No wahala, just make it work. Do did it and before I got home, no gas again 😂

Another man now. Let’s check the condenser. See let’s just change it, so we did. Drove from surulere to island. Perfect, my hands couldn’t even stand it. On my way back, ac did not work cha cha. I use smile enter house. Next morning, I tried it and it seem manageable, but I observe ac won’t blow while in motion, but a bit chill while in traffic. About last night, it wasn’t effective at all, but feels ok this morning.

I’m suspecting the compressor, but right now strength no deh me. So anything gas need to be top? My hand no deh atall 😂 peace tho, not out to knock any man hustle.

Na today d scarcity start? Scarcity has always been with us since Day 1 of this administration even when we were made to believe subsidy was the problem and if it goes we will buy fuel at a high price but it will be abundantly available and the end to queues.

Now, has Govt started selling Crude to Dangote? NO.
Do u know how long it will take from crude supply to PMS distribution? Dangote Refinery is not even in the picture, don't try to shift responsibility.

The matter tire me.

Glithronix:
A whole 4hrs just to get fuel?
I no get the patience to dey queue for that long. That's why I have my 30L keg in my booth permanently.
I went to Jibowu and just went back home straight, I just wasted my time.
Northwest on that gbagada express service lane had a queue long wey reach mobile for Obanikoro.
Wetin dey cause this scarcity gangan?
Cos I dey confused.

Much respect, boss.

They no deh sell for keg. DPR don warn them

Glithronix:
Abeg, na where dem dey sell fuel?
The filling stations for alapere here no sell and queue everywhere is longer than a donkey's life span.
Any updates, make una throw am here oh.

Much respect, bosses.

Nnpc around ojodu is selling. Spent 4hrs just to get fuel today. I gently drove back home to sleep. Out now and seems like I’ll still have to go continue with my sleep. The fees on indrive can give a man nightmare.

Barbiturate:
Thanks my brother. It's part of life. I thank God no life was lost. It affected the lady rider in the head. She was just screaming; "my head". She said she's going to the hospital to check her head. The panel bitter charged 30k. The guy paid 25k. I'll balance 5k.

Omo, I dey one place dey drink beer. Something I've never done in a very long while.

This is my very first accident for about 15 years or more I've been driving.

God is still on the throne.

Hmmm… this will obviously give anyone a bad day. Lets thank God for life.

Glithronix:
Not just Monday morning, the whole of Monday.
Wait, did I just read you say 'Sunday morning'?

Sunday morning can be boring after taking ride to church zone. One will have to chill till after church before proper trips.

Barbiturate:
Mad traffic on 3MB inward island. They've completed the other one inward mainland. They've moved to the other side. Just go through oyingbo.

Pearl1910:
No discount for only 1 offence.
Except it's more than 1, then u can get the fine reduced.

Yep

Kaymaxi2222:
how can one push for discount?

I think it’s not official boss… just meet with someone that runs your documents for you. I have seen and that’s why I am saying it.

BAZ001:
lol
Visiting date na like 2027
But with extra change men go still find u recent date. Only be say no visa guarantee after spending so much.
You way suppose don Jappa since, I no know d kind village people wey tie you for Nigeria.

I no b japa freak.., I don’t even have passport. Nah balablu deh make me reason the matter lately.

Pearl1910:
Lobatan!!!

He will still pay before even if he didn't contest it.

If you dont contest? You may push for discount and won’t have to be within a specify period. Once you contest, there’s nothing like discount again and you have to pay within a stipulated time.

Barbiturate:
He's talking about interview date. You know some wait for almost a year for interview after applying. So I guess he's trying to say that you can now get early dates with money.

I get what he was saying boss, I just want him to affirm his post.

BAZ001:
Bro have travelled out of Nigeria before ?
You need to dis virgin your passport before applying to US
US visa is one of the easiest to get cos it’s plainly psychology they don’t need to verify your bank account or school fees, unlike Canada and UK.
Pls travel to France or Dubai first and apply for US and see if they won’t give you.
You also needs to emphasis about your strong tie in Nigeria, don’t sound like you wan Jappa the interviewers are psychologist you go whine dem small.
Though I must agree it’s tougher now and more expensive but people still get it. I get archive of testimonies baba I no Dey cap.
To even get dates now na money.

I said if he can he should Jappa

How to get date take be money? Because visiting is already out of touch.

Barbiturate:
Bro, I love the fact that you try to encourage drivers to Japa, but do you know how hard it is to get a visa.....I'm not even talking about the high amount, but the number of people they deny on a daily basis is so alarming.

I've been rejected 3 times at US embassy. 1stly, it was through school(masters). My cousin paid some good amount of the tuition but I was denied visa.

2ndly, It was an invite from him(cos he's a citizen) I was denied still. Even his nurse wife that is based in Nigeria, has not gotten the visa, with all the filing!

3rdly, it was his friend whose daughter wanted to wed. The guy sent me invitation as a cousin to the girl. They are all citizens. I was still denied. Omo, I gave up!

It's really not easy bro. My cousin spent a whole lot for the school stuff.

You go just dey talk this thing like say if you just go, dem go stamp U visa

I stopped replying Baze on this matter, because it seem like using one effort to mock them.

Who really wants to wake in the morning, put ignition and start driving up and down. If things work out for you, the rest people will seem both physical and intellectual lazy and nah careful man deh observe. Should one bring or write all his problems on Nairaland, so people like Baze will see that one is trying his/her best? Many people get problems. I don’t even believe in bringing my personal life to online and no be Baze they share destiny.

Baze I understand your meant good, but they calm down. The way una deh kpaff each other self no deh make me reason una side again. It’s all good, everybody go deh alright.

Bought 25 ltrs from NNPC Sabo, even though they don't sell for kegs, they sold to me codedly cos they know me well. They collected 500 on it. Then bought another 25 ltrs from NNPC Folagoro, Omo the guy insisted on 1k. Though they don't sell for kegs. I had to talk to one uber guy to help me.....though it was the attendant that told me to attach to a car and he would have to sell it codedly. Keg inside car.

As I dey......I don ready for Monday and Tuesday work, God willing!

Nice one. Mine can only last tomorrow… and I didn’t even work today as MTN cut me off when I was gearing up to work.

northbird:
One wanted to try that shit with me, he just showed me a blank screen n wanted to leave.
I told him " O men, no be so dem dey run am. You go wait till I see my money" he did it again ,i made sure i saw d alert from my app,before letting him go. They have no moral compass, they are ready to fleece anyone.
The other day,I quickly abandoned the ketu guys..

I think NNpC attendants are the new yahoo men. Those guys are just sometime else. From 500 for 25 liters, they are now pushing for 1k. The way they are acting like god, I really wish there’s a way to mess these guys up.

Barbiturate:
NNPC Sabo is selling. NNPC Folagoro is selling. No kegs, only cars

Thanks boss… bought 20 liters at Omole.

Omo police makes so much money from yahoo boiz o! Picked 2 guys from that train station at yaba. Map showed me oyingbo-iddo. Police stopped us after iddo, trying to make a U-turn to Eko bridge apongbon. The police oga didn't even search their bags. He just collected one of the guy's phone and searched through. I was already angry cos they were delaying me. They found fraud activities on the phone and told me to drive to their office, after contain. I refused and told them to take them in their car and allow me go. They asked if I don't want to collect my money, I said No. That I picked them from the train station and they are going to landmark. I can't collect any money now. Their oga begged me and I later succumbed. To cut the long story short, we got there and they collected 500k from these guys. Their money is about 7k. They transferred 20k to me when I got to landmark. The police oga collected my number at the station and sent me a text to send my account. I sent it and he transferred 20k to me. I actually felt bad for the guys but I blamed them for leaving such info in their phone.

Boss! Please, next time don’t send your account or take such offer. I am not asking you not to go with them, but if you have any transaction, it is with your rider and not with the police. If anything should go wrong tomorrow, you’ve exposed yourself as an accomplice. Right is right and left is wrong in this case. There’s no wrong way that leads to right. The police men are not magistrate to judge how a case should end.

I was in this situation on Sunday. Sacrifice for these craz* bastard, instead they found fulfillment in saying it’s not their business.

How did it happened? Got a request from Sweet sensation Yaba for 3700. The guy was going to ebutte Meta and the map picked a long route. I knew once I climb the bridge, I’m done with the trip. So he ask me to take him back to same place, but know with additional boys and I bill them to round it up to 8500 reluctantly. They agreed and just felt like trip of 24 mins in total for 8500? Not bad, let me run it.

One request I go thro train station. I don’t like the road, so I stuck on turning into Kano road via Oyingbo. Lo and behold we saw our Oga’s at the round about and they start talking and murmuring. Deep within, I knew we can’t scale thro and I am not ready for all these stop and such of 4 persons. I just face iddo road. Had to go make a turn at Tejuosho and all they could say to each other is “shebi nah Indrive”. The price no go kuku change. I didn’t even bother exchanging words with them.

They don break my head oo… wetin I do? As I deh drive go, I come see space for front of filling station. As a sharp person wey I be, nah so I rush fill in the gap. See mending! Pa po pa pa nah em I just they hear from different angle.


Abeg who get update for fuel make e pity me.

Omoapena:


At this point, I'm just confused.

But, this man is willing to help me with japa o...


I just don't wanna disclose full gist yet

I have been trying to avoid commenting on this, because whatever we say here is somewhat based on experience, fear, stereotype and it may not be factual. His intentions maybe for real. Howbeit, there are rules of engagement in all we do. One should be above don’t be stupid at some point in life. The japa thing prompt me to type. Why you? Don’t he have people around him for ages, cleaner, gateman, staffs that he is indebted too in one way or the other? Jakpa sha! To what country? On visit, school or Pr. Did you weigh the cost of each? If it is visit, can’t you afford it? Instead of hanging around someone you barely know over such?

Atleast, I have 2 client that has been putting me on japa pressure. Even to the point of willing ti pay for passport. They pay for their service when rendered and the only promise they made was, if I am willing… They can help me with how to go about it and assist financially. They didn’t say they will pay thro, but be of help if necessary, but u should really consider the move.

Like I said, it maybe real or not, be careful and use your tongue to count your teeth. Nothing is actually free in Freetown.

Every year na... Yearly renewal
Lasdri maybe 4k or 5k yearly renewal. They do it in Ojodu now. U don't have to go to Oshodi.

You can deregister hackney anytime u feel u aren't using the car again for ehailing and want to stop renewing yearly. This u must do to avoid 20k fine for driving with expired hackney permit.

Nah why I deh avoid this thing be this. Small time, light will catch one for this too.
