Depending on the spec of your corolla .. Yours might be an isolated incident ..

I just bought a 2010 Corolla Sport .. It has 155k miles and the car runs beautiful and no noise at all .. The car is just a beauty .. The motor vehicle inspection sticker is still on it till October 2021 .. Meaning the car is still road worthy.......

That been said , instead of putting a bandaid on the problem .. It is better for u to really find the reason for the ticking sound of the motor. It seems the oil you using is covering over the noise .. There is a problem somewhere ......
Rust every where

This your number 7 though. I seriously disagree. I interact a lot with my riders except those that sit at the back and I don't see anything wrong with it.

Infact, once you sit at the back, we have nothing to discuss. We will keep it the way you want it, strictly official grin

Nice posers all the same, good work.
I won't b d first to talk to a rider, no matter what, if he or she ain't chatting me up, then I let them b and the reason is because some riders r honestly not willing to talk at that point in time. While some feel u may take advantage of that convo, so I try to respect myself.

Should I say I'm seeking for advice with what I'm about to write or validation, cos deep within it seem like I've already made up my mind.

Got a request this evening from unilag gate around 7pm to first gate on Lateef J. The trip is not really favourable for me at 2400, due to traffic, but since its my last trip and as good as destination, plus what Ghost1994 said about 8pm, I decide to go on the trip. On getting to pick up, with d mindset of liaising with rider to be considerate, saw two guys hopped into the car with her, I just respect myself and face my 1 hr 10 mins. Somehow trip didnt end till 2hr after pick up, with traffic from Onipan to MBA. Deep within I wish this folks will b human enough to add something to the fare, and on d other hand I didn't bother cos that's what I signed up for. They didn't add anything, tho I felt, but can't complain , my gas level broke my heart after d trip. Got home and saw 2 bottles of groundnuts... normal me would have called or find a way to take it back to them tomorrow, but as it stands now! I'm not just in that mood to waste 1 km on those folks, unless they are willing to pay for return trip.

he picked her online once. She saved his number cos uber app shuts down 12am. She needed a trip past 12am and called for an offline trip and then the above happened according to her. Truth is, we have some fraudulent and dangerous persons posing as uber drivers same as some riders. It goes both ways.
There's no such thing as offline Uber driver and inbtw, b4 saving a driver number, tells both of u had a good flow and somewhat sense he or she can't u. Not absolute tho, but at least to some extent.

Carried one woman from her house. As I was about to make a left turn from her junction as advised by the map, she asked which route I wanted to take and I told her.

She said no, the route is too far I should take the right turn that she she told the person she's going to meet she'll be there in 10 minutes. The moment she said the route was too far, I knew what she was implying. I wanted to pass a longer route to increase the money so I just said no wahala.

Meanwhile the map already told me that the route she wanted me to take was 11 minutes slower. I normally would have advised her against it but I wanted her to learn her lesson.

As we got to where the traffic was, madam begin complain. I don't need all this traffic, what kind of traffic is this? And you people, when you knew there was traffic here, why did you not insist we follow the route you wanted to follow. I no even answer

Took her to the destination but not before the person she was going to meet almost blew up her phone with phone calls. I collected my money with a straight face and saw my rating drop drastically not long after. Good riddance

Had an interesting fight wit rider tonight. She book a ride from surulere to ICM, got into d car and was driving it, I decide to let her have her will since its my last trip and don't have d energy for bad vibes. She got on phone casting herself, careless talk on d phone, saying all manner of rubbish, how deh went to club, the guys sprayed 2 bundles of 200 naira (in my mind how much is bundle of 200), she picked 15k out of it, blah blah... Until we got stuck in 30 sumtin minutes Maryland traffic, sister now say she want to come down, dat she's running late for her date, how much she should pay me thus far grin I just form deaf and dumb, aunt repeat herself again and I asked her, how? I'm not understanding, like you pay half and how do I get out of here? After all the take here, take dia. That was how she flipped, she will come down and leave. Me: if u leave, I'll surprise u here, e b like say u never jam madness... we got into hurt for words trading, tho! I try not to use words on her, just made her understand I can't relate with her, cos I won't try to explain myself to someone who think highly of herself and won't stoop that low. That's how my sister hit me hard, say ordinary cab man like u talking to me, ordinary 2k, I deh shout. Aunty! Pay me my money, I may later transfer it back to u, but that 2k I'm not letting u go, without paying it. So I kept mute and let her continue doing the talking. She transfer my money and next I saw, went calm, so we r from same tribe, why r we fighting nah? Me: I'm not fighting you, just trying to explain to you, but realize you can't understand. Took her to destination and she plead for me to accept extra 1k.

What really interest me the most is the illusion out dia, on a normal day I can b of help to this lady, but life is life. At some point I felt pitied for her and feel like being part of her life, I just let everything slide and call it a day.

one big odeku for u, a bad day is a bad day no doubt, e.g I might net 10K working from 8am to 3pm on a good day but on a bad day it might take me 8am to 10pm to net same 10K, someone like me once I notice a bad day i just drive home dem possibly monitor I driver for a long trip from my bed if am lucky i get if not next day is another day, meanwhile this pay as u go on indriver no make sense ooooo, after a trip yesterday na so dem hammer not to take more trips grin

Na so o. Pope191 talk am well. For instance, yesterday wasn't going well at all until the attached trip came in. Rider put 6k Lekki Phase 1.I no even negotiate am. Gbam she accepted my offer. Getting to PU, she told me Na Sangotedo axis she dey go. I renegotiated. She agreed to pay 7k. Las las I collected 7500 from her. Mind you that was my main online trip for the day around 6.30pm. I drove empty come back to Ikeja. At the end of the day, was still able to hit my daily target.

So in essence you are saying if u earn well u will definitely die early or ur car will not last?

I am not dragging highest earner o...but I know no matter how bad a day is I must net 10k no matter how bad. It may be partly due to luck but u can't ignore the importance of positioning.
Earn well is relative, there's no survival/ success without some level of sacrifice... if u think I'm lying, ask K.O.K

I'm not dragging positioing with you, all I'm saying is yesterday was a drag for drivers. Let's sight Monday morning for example, positioning has got nothing on monday morning or Sunday evening. 24hrs make a day, it may take 5am to 11:55pm for u to make 10k on a bad day, because it's a must, some can't stand 5am to 1pm not making same, the day is already showing sign of bad day for them and they just want to call it a day, we have different level of tolerance.

Okay o, but I net 12k yesterday, despite starting work around 11am cos I went for car inspection.
Today now so far I don gross 10k.

Maybe I am lucky but positioning is very important.
I knew u will come up wit this, but let me burst your bubble... you r not the highest earner yesterday. One driver's best day is another driver's worst day. Pope191, 2021.

Wot u made yesterday, positioning or not, does not change the fact in low request for ride (even d app companies can testify to this). In this job, we know the scores and stressing is one thing I don't engage, yesterday I was lost in tot and I just smile "so nah me once carry person go Igondo on app & not offline?". I don't stress Saturday's morning or sunday's again, not because one can't get best of trips like to and fro 8k, but on Sunday morning? Your chances of short trips (700) plus wait, we r still waiting for someone is much.

So boss I've grown pass figures, what's the driver health and condition like after making such figures r the questions that matter to me.

Indriver should enforce minimum fare.

A typical rider would abuse any privelege. Look at that one going from Chevron to Iju Ishaga for 3k after collecting tens of thousands of naira @ Chevron. grin. People get mind sha.

Their courier arrangement is also wack. You want to charge 60-65naira / km for speed delivery in a city like Lagos, too low now. It has to be on a special rate.

Even local logistics can only guarantee same day deliveryi.e at least 12-14 hrs., and they still disappoint sometimes.
Indriver wants to charge rock bottom fares for delivery within 2hrs grin and they still want to take commission.

I hope they get it right sha.
Delivery within 2hrs? grin madam! Nah anything your package reach dia, you gree or u no gree? Even the riders know it's just an along trip

indriver is now a shitty app, before now u can't put a fare that's below recommended price, I don't know why they remove that feature, so yesterday i was at Chevy view i got this request just name if the street pop up offer was 2500 i tap 3000 and rider accepted and called immediately, I had to on my bolt riders app to check it was 5100 -5800, I check indriver too recommended price was 5400 cash, I input the street name on Google map only to find out is somewhere in iju ishaga, I just vex cancel to even thjbl thr was traffic yesterday ard past 5pm
I just don't understand the 30 days stuff, ever since they start charging commission, I've lost my flow, the fares are so bad that I begin to wonder how do drivers get by. This thing is not so hard, drivers should learn to use uber app to balance indriver price. U will see chevron to unilag 2500 and from phase one to unilag for 2300 or 2500 as well, while from chevron to phase 1 range from 1200 to 1500. In fact the whole thing can scatter someone head and I've come to understand rider don't want to pay beyond 2000 to 2500 from core mainland to yaba or island. So I break it down for them, ogba/berger/ikeja to yaba, yaba to phase 1, phase 1 to chevron.

The buck blame still goes to driver, use uber or bolt price to select the kind of trip u pick and ignore stupid ride, but drivers that are going to work, need to get to sane destination won't think twice... to them, anything goes.

They used to have a limited fee rider can put, but now is just pure rubbish, got an offline trip to addo road this evening and I'm trying to find my way back... I've been here for 30 mins now, just can't pick the stupid fare I've been seeing, VGC to Ogudu 2500 and drivers r picking it. Today one lady bid 1500 from magodo to landmark, I pick it wit the mindset to ask if she will truly embark on such trip, she just laff and cancel it. I pity for partners, ur drivers will do anything to meet up, but the car will have such a short life.

Either the riders are playing or just stupid, I also blame drivers for this nonsense, though it can b understandable on their part in most cases, but there should b standard in all that we do. Picking Lekki for 2500 from Berger is absolute madness, even oil change is on the raising side, not to talk of other factors.

I set destination on Uber to AE and was to get Ikeja immediately and in surge, uber surge wey2dey para like DOGE.

Got to pickup in less than 5min, called the girl she told me she was coming, 5min later called aga8n, "please kindly give me 5min to tidy up I'll be with you soon".

Me wey don meet target even b4 4pm so I was ready to go home. Ok, no p.

I started cleaning my car in and out to while out time. As I got to driver side, let me even check to see how long wait time as counted, 35min. Before I could have a 2nd blink, "rider cancelled". What?!!!

Next thing I saw one baba with big daddy packed behind me, we where still exchanging pleasantries and I was trying to asking the name of the person that ordered him since he said ikeja, then when the young girl jumped into his car. Na so baba zoom off with the same rider I'd been waiting for.

Chia!!! I finally left lekki that day past 8pm empty as I couldn't get another rider heading towards my direction again.


Some of these girls can be very useless.
