Brethren in the hustle. I think I will need your help to solve this lady matter. Been thinking I would solve it on my own without incurring the wrath of brethren but she has proved me wrong. I picked her and her man friend from Ajah to The Place, Lekki, which will be exactly 2 weeks this Saturday. On getting to Phase 1,trip failed. It brought 500 on Bolt. I complained to them that it is a glitch. They accepted and said they will transfer the money to me when reviewing is done.i managed to get 1k from. After review, price was 1900.
I called her and she confirmed the review too. O ya transfer the rest, she asked me to send my account details. Since then Na story upon story. Now she has blocked my line. I tried to call with another line, it went tru. But she's been busying my call

Neighbours, please help call her to release my money,

08152370900

Bolt has collected their own money since.

Thanks to you all

my hobby


But some riders can b wicked! Today I got a request and I call rider... She asked where r u?me: Airport road
She: Ha! Am in ladipo, I want carry engine, how long will it take u to come
Me: forever ma

AngryIgboMan:
Guys please, I implored you people in one of my posts to avoid arguments with anybody especially anybody on heat. Its that time of the month again. Reasoning is on vacation now and emotions is running riot. Please and please, lets stay focused on motivation.

The issue I want to discuss today is this very fraudulent and criminal company called Tanxify abi Taxify.

I was around Festac town yesterday to eat Nkwobi at my favourite joint and I decided to book a trip to walter Carrington. It was fake of course but I just wanted to check the price because my rider 4 days ago was telling me how taxify is far cheaper than Uber.

Lo and behold, the picture below is what I saw! 1100-1400. What nonsense? Last last, the money will end at 1200 because Uche is a criminal master of human psychology. I checked the distance on google maps and saw that it will take me 38 minutes of my life and 17 kilometres to get there! Here comes the real headache.

Ride Price = 1,200 naira

Taxify Commission = 240 naira

Fuel Estimate to VI (At least 2 litres on corrolla and 3 litres on Camry) = 300 or 450 naira depending

Calls to and fro to rider prior pickup = 50 naira

Data for Bolt and Google Maps = 100 naira

Therefore;

240 + 300 + 50 + 100 = 740

1200 - 740 = 460 naira profit.

So as a driver, aak yourself if its really worth it. You see let me be brutally honest with you. The only reason it seems as if you are making money from this nonsense is because of turn over. Turn over as in if you calculate the gains from all these small small profits, it seems as if you are getting something! But what is the true reality?

CAR WEAKENS AND DIES FASTER. Mind you that I didn't factor wear and tear to engine in the calculations above. I didnt factor in other things like scratch from Keke or Danfo, rude riders, excess traffic, Fuel consumption with AC in Terrible Lagos traffic now!

What is my point then?

Taxify is now fixing there ride prices again! If you must continue with these nonsense business, please stick with UBER. At least, it becomes 3% commission after 20 trips. How I wish Uber can bring down there initial Commission on all trips to 20% instead of 25%. That will be the end of taxify as we know it!

Bolt is cheap compare to uber, that's why they have all kind of riders. A rider even confess this to me yesterday, took her on a trip on surge of 1.6 and get to destination to see 1100, but she was kind enough and said she saw estimation of 2500 and that exactly what she will pay.

In bid to eulogise rider and not just dia negative side always, another lady surprised me, got to pick up point and his friend is already dia to pick her, so she gave me 1k to hold body don't ask me if I reject it.

peeps4u:
Cant you guys stop replying this sexy........? You all have been on this argument with her for 2-3 days now. If no one replies her again, she will stop posting.

You r right boss, but let's just assume she only understood what she knows and dia is need to put r on reality. I've never seen a human so bitter towards other ppl like her, maybe someone she is close to got killed by motorist and she think the only way out is to take it out on others. May we not b a victim of other people mistake.

sexylassie:
Lastma and vio officials get killed while doing their job because many Lagos drivers are heartless, have mental disorder, i will say this confidently, no right and normal human will kill another fellow human just because he is doing his/her duties.
My
Many Lagosians are traffic law breakers, they know the fine they will pay when caught, because of their inability to obey rules, when caught, they do every thing possible to escape even if they have to kill another human.

We blame govt for all ills of our society but many ills in our society are all done by private individuals. funny how this set of people love to criticize govt but break eveery simple rules that can make society run peacefully.

Do you really think Lagos drivers r heartless and mentally not sound? Or is just Newton 3rd laws acting on everyone, including you. When you say government and private individuals, that force me to think who is the government? For real let's get of pettiness, this ain't my opinion or me trying to make you b objective in your reasoning, since I've observed your work has consumed you, your bile is full of hate and you think its war b/w drivers and government agency.

How many lastma officer(s) have been killed by uber drivers? Can you tag the lastma officer that committed suicide at Adebowale house dis month on motorist? If you do your findings well, you will learn uber drivers r d most friendly to traffic/motorist agency, but its so suck when you hear that word "Uber ni, hold em well" kilode! What if its uber? Do they carry two head to the world? An officer will b loose on other motorist, but your phone becomes part of requirment that needs to b check before passing judgement to u, that's unfair.

Almost all uber drivers have complete papers, yet we r exposed to traffic police, lasma, vio, CBD, local government touts. The only force and paramilitary that doesn't disturb r Road safety and Police, they r friendly to uber drivers.

I think the average problem with Lastma is they are egocentric because they feel like ppl look down on them, which is what you are trying to feed me wit Sunday, but I've grown above what you think of me cos I'm d one wearing d shoes, so ur shot and what u think won't foot my bills. I know too many lastma officers that have practically use dia salary for different cooperatives, so if they r not callously apprehending motorist they can't go back home not to talk of survival. it is a pitiable disma pisma, it is regrettably lugubrious that you are not seeing all these, but you r trying to come into equity with an unclean hands, the things you are seeing are heckney, Lasdri, heartless and mentally drained drivers. Change your view, u may see clearer.

Need to know I don't take anything to heart, you came petty and got dosage of it, but I'm over that, all we should seek for is a fair and just society where everyone can live in one harmony. I don't need to leave my house in the morning and see your ppl as enemy and u don't have to see me same way. Hope your heart find light and understand we r all just trying to get by. Kudos to the VIO and Lastma officers still keeping it real and working endlessly for a better Lagos.

Breaking news!!!
My VIO friend just confirmed to me now that we are free to work without any disturbance from tomorrow..order from the above that they shouldn't arrest/impound uber/bolt cars anymore
Great news

So I can drive full time now

Herbert M. Local govt boys almost run me down today, was on a ride and the app is acting up, so can't figure out the right address, rider said we should stop and ask for address, as I pull over niggas block me with dia car as one of them jumped out, I crack a smile... Like angel Gabriel is singing "This world is not my own" on ur head, ard 4 u guys r still operating. Stepped on d gas, my guy clear road, deh no deh tell person.

I have this account for sale, reason been that I moved out of Lagos. Whatapp zero eight zero 2756 1555.

deedee44:
My wife doesn't drive but she washes my car sometimes when I'm too tired/lazy to wash and going to car wash would be a waste of money (when going to a dusty area or when it seems it's gonna rain). In her words.. when you drive, your car is your cloth, I don't want you going out dirty. Hahaha women can treat men like children sometimes and honestly I like it. Lol

Buhari is callin u...

chibjohn:
There is nothing wrong with this o. My wife washes my car. These days she drives it more than I do so why can't she wash it when I am not around, it's dirty and she needs it? Don't get it twisted, women washing their husbands cars isn't bad generally. The circumstance may make it bad.

u said the circumstance make it bad, I'm libre in nature, so its all about live and let's live, your wife washing your car does not make it bad, it only disgust me cos I feel is a strenuous task and I don't really like when women go thro such... I honestly don't care abt many tinz, some men forbids scooping soup from the cooking pot, its more of a tradition fallacy, for me! I can eat directly from the pot self.

radautoworks:
Sick and tired of how men talk to women on this thread whether they are right or wrong. You would NEVER talk to each other in such derogatory terms. The fact that no one has said anything about it is appalling. And it's not just here, it's everywhere on this forum. Y'all can have this thread and maybe even this forum.

Even when talking to each other y'all are quick to say things like "it must have been a woman". Frankly I'm tired of it. I couldn't give a hoot about sexy whatever he/she calls herself. It's the TYPE of insults that get to me. Y'all don't call each other gigolos, prostitutes or sons of bitches. The minute there is an argument with a "female", insults turn sexual, or they are in their period or they are simply naggy/irrational.

I apologise for that madam, its not just in this forum, but the world at large... Women r special being and we must learn to respect that and admit the fact that we r not wired the same way, there is nothing that disgust me than when I see a married woman washing her husband car. I won't tell you I can't b push to break when it comes to women matters, but I am trying to be a better person, but inbtw that I have seen situations, what do you make of a woman that won't allow her husband leave for work on Monday morning and before you know, she grabbed his shirt that's the man have to iron another shirt in dis time and season of morning rush it is well.

On his/her matter, like I said I'm seeing bobrisky in him/her, but let's assume she is a female. If she is so incline about seeing a transport system where everything work and use USA as a standard then let her address issues begging for answers

1. What's the role of agbero in a Mega City
2. Why will lasma apprehend a car when d passenger beside the driver refuse to use sit belt (In a developed nation, they hold the passenger responsible not the driver)
3. Lastma have been warn severely to stop jumping into people's car, if d driver refuse to oblige, take the car number and that's all, yet! You see them displaying all manners of madness with drivers on the road
4. If Lastma apprehends one and you get to dia office, b4 you say jack, they have toss you key to one tout, vulcanizer will less your tire immediately... After settling with Lastma, you still have to beg vulcanizer with 1/2k and tout with 500 another 500 for the people at the gate and she is saying uber drivers don't like doing the right thing.
5. Bolt drivers have been victimise in different ways, from riders not paying to all many of vices and car theft, what is d government doing to put life and security in check? since that is the first paramout thing in any success driver society

All these may sound like story to her, but if she careless about the transport system orderliness that seems to be her hobby, but only hackney permit, then I see another heartless and greedy fellow that only cares about the gain in it for her.

Felicity0001:
Honestly my brother... I'm seriously dazed with most comment I read here. Well, I dont blame them, Baba Fela already said it "my people too dey fear".

BTW,

Last night was a lucky day for me if I must say.
Picked a white girl on the street where cool FM operates.
Babe handed over her phone to me to talking with the person.
Dude on the sound sounding authoritative, asking where exactly we where... Long story story short. I took her to one Jonny something, forgotten the last name close to Eko hotels VI, this was around 10:45pm.
Babe asked md to wait, left my engine running with the AC on d very low button.
Entered a convo with the white girl, shes is a Morocian and d dude on the phone a Nigerian, chia!!! My spirit didnt tell me it's somebody with great power. Menh...this our work enh, you will meet people you never thought you would ever meet in your entire life.

Someone said there other day he had Genevieve on his car and people called him bluff. Guys lets be professional and be friendly as we can in our dealers because you never can who you would be picking up the nexf minute.

Las las, after about 10min, i'd to switch of my engine because I hate keeping my engine on in idle for too long.

Babe called dude again and I talked with him again on the phone addressing him as "bro"... Dude called again after about 2min and asked babe to hand over phone to me.

Dude: ...dont address someone on the phone as "bro..." Thats was the line I heared clearly. I didnt want to say so.ething I would regret later I just simply handed phone over to the babe as he was yet speaking. Looking behind, there was a siren escort babe said that's him, follow them...

...finaly, it was the President's son, he was inside a Rose Royce. Drove inside his compound there in VI, dropped babe move ahead.

Don't mind them jhoor, they have a way of belittling someone here, I picked Genevieve Obieke is Genevieve not Genevieve again?

shollywendy1:
They do. Have a friend using it

Kk boss

sexylassie:
yeah, you are done for real but keep asking me silly questions.. Gosh, nothing you won't see from emotional Nigerian men. abeg make i go prepare for work. people that have jobs need to be at their jobs tomorrow instead of arguing all day. abi na cardboard paper you won carry tomorrow.

I b think say u open vio branch here, if I pass dem tomorrow and deh no stop me, come impound me. Emotion ko emersion ni, sanwo-olu cousin

sexylassie:
no reasonable questions have been thrown at me except how do you know uber drivers? i find the question hilarious because it makes no sense

everyday, uber drivers cars are been impounded by different agencies in lagos state, so how did the respective agencies get these drivers and their cars?

Mr, nobody cares if Uber drivers have complete particulars or not, the main issue is uber deceit not to have a license to operate in the state. Uber has no intention of doing the right thing, even though they knoww the law, they keep selling stories instead of doing the right thing.

as i have written, we can argue from now till next year, the law is the law, before you can operate a taxis service, you must have permit and license to operate,

even in NYC city, Uber has a license to operate and uber drivers get special license from the TLC (Taxi and Limousine Commission) to drive with Uber.

as someone wrote that i am part of the banana republic, why is uber obeying the law in NYc but cant obey the law in lagos state

Lasly, when you get your hackney permit be ready to change your plate to red.

I find your answer funny too, I've been driving for more than a year, I drive pass 2 VIO's station everyday, yet I've not been impounded or seen any driver go thro such... Its either you don't know what you r saying or the vio officers you recruited do not know dia duties. You have failed to answer why ask hackney permit from a blue plate number, but keep saying b ready to change to red, please will heaven fall if a plate number is change to red or the car will consume more fuel? Cos I can't comprehend your logics.

Please experienced fellas, can bolt accept 02 big daddy? Though I've not seen any difference between 02-04?

Izzou, pope191 and all gbogbo ogas

I think bolt is from 03 boss, not certain.

sexylassie:
Mr, i am not interested in your stories and their is a difference between the future of e-hailing in Lagos-state and the future of lagos state, know the difference.

Sir/ma get d fvck off again, ur greed have blinded ur sense of reasoning. Future of whatever, you try to correct me all day and pretend as if you don't know what I am aiming at. Try to know the difference b/w there and their b4 u school me. Done with you for real anyway. Mr/Mrs Lagos

Madam I have never disrespected you and I'll never do that. Please on this mattar, let's not play the gender card, I can change my profile to female does not make me one, bobrisky changed his/her look does not make him less of a male. Everybody should learn self respect that's the key, I can't remember the last time I use words or get at loggerheads with anyone here. I don't tolerate injustice at any level, if is done to you, believe me, I'll stand for you even if it means my last breath... As far as I am concern, dis person in question is a mole with a questionable character and they do come in any form, so don't b to quick to place a gender on him/her. That's if you post is about the mole.

sexylassie:
angry over your tantrums, i am bigger than that

You live off emotions, a logical man would have seen the big picture by now and the future of ehailing in Lagos

you write lot of garbage but it seems you dont know, i guess they sound intelligent to you.

Broda/aunty what am I saying? you say a lot of shit that mirrors ur reflection, I keep repeating it, you can't answer a reasonable question thats way you keep sounding like a programmed robot... Future of Lagos! Future of Lagos!! Let me tell you a story, a man was coming from work(V.I) on Friday, got stuck in TBS, you need to see the crowd out dia, as he showed me the video, he manage to drag himself to surulere and look for hotel to pass the night, I don't want to imagine the cost of a room. Yesterday morning he requested for a ride going to omole phase 2, barely any route I didn't try, I have to drive around, all he want was just to get home since Friday, trip end at 5k, I felt for him, probably spending 17k after close hour, is that the future of Lagos? Or did I just write garbage as presumed by you? You need to get off your greed and stop seeing things from the horizon of your window.

sexylassie:
sermon of low quality men, they cant stand opposing ideas without throwing tantrums, they act tough online but pee on their pants when vio, Lastma and police arrest them. we know your type.

If you can stand opposing ideas, you would have answer reasonable questions being thrown at you. You really let me down with you last statement, I try not to insult any officer cos I have them as friends and family, but dis your one man mission reek of stupidity.

Tomorrow, do me a favour, stay on agege road and stop danfo drivers as much as u can, ask for dia particulars, let's see the outcome or go to dia park and tell them the need to have complete papers, let see if you'll come out alive. Do you know how many times traffic police stops car and at the sight of him/her knowing he/she is an Uber driver they wave go or ask for something, hardly you'll see an uber driver without complete particulars. Yet! You have the effrontery to say they don't want to do the right thing, you honestly didn't come with a peacful mind.

Do you think if uber block all drivers and add hackney permit as access to go online, drivers will not get one instantly?

sexylassie:
Mr, i didnt come here to come figure out drivers like you, i came to give my own opinion.

Then how did you get stuck trying to figure out if I drive? Whatever! Fvck ur opinion, it doesn't add value in any capacity.

sexylassie:
i didnt intend to cal him any name, i came peacefully until he started the abuse.

Don't get high on ur supply, a brother is just watching out.... I'm still asking you who have a mental disorder b/w us when you don't know if I drive with uber or not, figure that out first.

The last thing I'll do is to abuse you.

Monkeyprick:
I have followed this argument keenly, even though you made few points but calling my brother that sort of name is disgusting .
Some high profile UBA Officials were disengaged some weeks ago. Well read, vast and well travelled amongst them also fell victim, he lives on my street at Ikosi ketu but because he wouldn't just sit and brood his life away, he's driving his Toyota Camry 2007 on Uber till fate smiles on him again.
People like Pope have been on this thread for quite some time, updating and reaching out to people who's been struggling with the hustle, so you watch what you say to him.

Brotherly code

dru23:
Young lady it seems to me you are supporting lawlessness .... Am sure uber has paid the necessary tax to Lagos government for them to operate...

That's my issue with him/her, if government have issue with uber, let dem shut uber down, but asking driver to go bring 60k for bail out is nothing, but lawlessness and the greediness in him/her won't see thro dat.

sexylassie:
you are suffering from a mental disorder called schizophrenia, your symptom is all written in your write up

this is what i hate, dump commercial drivers like you who cant adapt to the environment

anyway your job is a repetitive job doesnt need some one of a higher iq to be qualified for

you drive, turn right and left, say yes ma and yes sir, get angry for bad services and then go home.

you are not concerned about material stuff but go on bragging about the imaginary 1 million naira you made, what a life of confusion. your fragile ego is at the highest level.

Are you even a uber driver, you cant be angueing all day online full time and riding uber at the same time, it is impossible

someone of your type and caliber and mentality cant make 100k even if put in a profitable business.

Lol! I know u r angry and think I'm insulting you, honestly I am not insulting, if I say you r silly and stupid that's not me insulting you, I'm just being honest with you. When you want to come for me, make sure its fact, I don't live off emotions or have time to give you guidance, same you is saying I'm commercial driver and yet not sure if I am a commercial driver.... Now tell me who has mental disorder called schizophrenia and inability to think proper? Never mind! A mad man/woman is right in his/her world. Bobrisky jnr, I wish u can come straight with you gender.

Talking about IQ, u left me thinking what r u doing here, is nairaland now VIO sanitising hall, where u gather people and tell them what is right or wrong? Why don't u just leave and let government agency to the needful? Damn! Las las I don't think I can match ur IQ with that of cockroaches, with the way your've been trying to foster dis permits as a one man vio with hate eating you up, its safe to say you flow on same IQ frequency with mosquito.

sexylassie:
yeah that is what they say, material stuff lives outside the line of my reality if material stuff isnt important, you would as well just be a monk, instead of looking for cash to buy material stuff from uber

What's your business with d money I made from uber? You are begining to sound like a robot programmed to recite Lagos state laws, u malfunction d moment u drift. Your expectation was for me to start bragging about dashboard and such, sorry! You hit the wrong button, I understand life better than that. I have family and friends which your colleagues r part, if I choose to drive uber so i can be dia for dem, do I have to equate them as material stuff, just to please ur chicken head?

adeniyiHansome:
Please help a friend. Na me help this guy the LG phone he started Uber with just a month ago, he took only 45 trips in total. This guy is clean, no rubbish cheat app, no issue but Uber deactivated his account. No specific issue was given for the deactivation. He went to their office, they told him there nothing they can do, with no explanation.

no room for appeal. i dont understand. please help advise what can he do. Man must hussle. Has VIO taken over Uber's Deactivation console? abi which kind wahala be this. Please advise please help

@pope191,@Dru23, @ Carshopper
@peeps4u @okorotalkative

Boss he still need to go back to dia office, maybe he will meet the right person that will listen to him and explain things to him in details

Carshopper:
Wrong approach again...that I develop an application that allows u ride-share doesnt make me a taxi service. We should embrace technology rather than find a way to roll the country backwards.

One mumu, that has created park terminal, identification number, registered uber drivers under union with ID card said is a taxi service and we know his/her reason for that, for the love of the state and country.

famousguy01:
Pope “ma pa mi now”

The self righteous mumu is just disgusting, how much is the permit? I don't think is what drivers can't afford. There is a diffrence between doing the right thing and trying to do the right thing, what he/she is doing is just trying to do the right thing in a shamble manner.

sexylassie:
when you start using red plate you will know the reality of being a commercial driver which you are.

we can as well go back and forth, abuse each other, it wont change the law nor change lagos state policies, the law is there for every one to read and see, it is public, any right and smart person can easily understand that.

Have a nice day, uber slave, and dont come bragging about the hell of money you have made on the platform and how you can feed me.

Silly ass dumbo, what is wrong with being a commercial driver? Who cares? Guess its bad, yet! Your colleagues get off work and can't feed on the meagre salary to hop behind danfo wheels, putting different shades of identification to break traffic rules... Like I told you, I don't find pleasure in material stuffs, I just live and try to do that which is right. You came in here as one of us, I fish you out, if you have problem with that, then your problem will b forever. Won't stoop low over the internet justifying who has more money or living a better life than the other, that's all spam. If you call me Uber slave? Uber must have been the one feeding me since inception, I must have made my first million using Uber #Odeson! Like we don't see u guys on the road, give me your name again, I need to check forbes.
