you denied a fellow man and still paid 3k fine

Who has the lyrics of that song- You carry woman go club; you spend all your money................... continue till you get to your verse.
#spits

I never denied him uncle, please you guys should stop reading unnecessary meaning, if you have an altercation with someone and behind you another person stabbed the person, you honestly don't have to hold yourself responsible or admit to know about the scene, when in honesty you don't know about it. You guys really know how to unsettle someone conscience, but I'll let it slide here.

If you need to know for clarity, the man was charge for assault and mine for traffic offence (Obstruction), now the traffic boss which in dia department was saying I collided with the man to harass an officer, if I admit to that, we will both b charge for assault and handed over to the police, do you want me to admit to sometin I did not do or even aware off? Men u guys scared the hell of me with ur judgement tonight. I felt bad I couldn't stand for him thats what I meant by deny. Part of me wasn't even happy with him, I may be wrong here, but I felt if he had not gotten into issues with the officer, this case won't have gone beyond 10/15mins and I would have been able to work that day, but after everything, I just drove home and stayed restless for d rest of d day.

You for just manage stay the first lane...

Sure boss, everyone does this things if one lane is long enough and you saw ppl following the second lane, we sometimes follow suit. I really felt bad with what does 2 guys wrote up dia, cos u don't know half of what I can do for the next man, ask ppl that do know me very well. For me to b grounded to know all d lasma from Ikeja to Berger and b so at sure nothing can happen to me in that zone, it must taken sacrifice. Before they could call a towing van and ticket me for obstruction are they aware how much I am going to pay? Now they ask me to go, what do they expect me to do in case like this.

Tonight I really saw how hypocrite people can be

franksam2009:
so how will you feel if someone else does same to you? That man might still be behind bars Cos of d way u handled d issue, this is why minding self biz pays more in this Lagos sha

Its so bad as ppl read things without digesting... Like I said I wasn't aware of what was happening around me and it is crystal clear the man had transfered aggression on that particular traffic man, at no point should he get into violence to the point of cutting his button, if u know what that means in law? If he have not flip outrageously, it would have cost me nothing or 5h to buy my way, I followed the second lane cos I was grounded, not making excuse for myself, wisdom they said is profitable, let's stop being to holy or crying more than the bereaved, I wasn't fighting or having an escalated issue. The case here is that the man is pushing for the traffic officer to b dismiss from service, which I think it has not gotten up to that and what I meant by witness is the reason they delayed me, buy I never bear witness to or against anyway, the traffic police boss only ask if I know the man and we are both accomplice, what do you expect me to say, I have meet him before? As much as police hate going to court, I honestly don't think I want to start picking court date on issue that can b maturely handle.


About the man being detained, its a police case and I can 100% guaranty you dia language is money, the only thing they are scared of and dislike is snapping them on duty, which I don't know why people do that. I have had an encounter of being check and rider was infuriated saying is uber... In my mind, I was just praying she won't put me in trouble, she brought out her phone and start to video, they end up telling us to drive to the station, I know the kind of beg I beg that day. I felt bad for whatever happened on Thursday, the police lady apologised and her boss blast her and she regret her actions, but do you have to hold me responsible for what I don't know or witness? I only heard wot happened BTW the man and the officer when I was forced to appear at the station, is not as if we set eyes on each other, even if I see him today, I honestly won't recognise him.

northbird:
Oga pope, pls share so that we can learn. Thanks

I'm yet to see any traffic police in Lagos like the ones in omole to Berger, those Berger traffic police r just cooperate beggers. I was aheading towards Ikeja from omole, the queue on d main lane is long enough so I join d second lane driving slowly, before I know they jumped out from dia cubicle, d guy in front blow straight to ogba and I was with a rider, so they land in my front, rider didn't waste time he opened the door with an excuse of being in rush, the police woman took advantage of that and entered the car "Oga to the office'... Before I knew it, a man came down from his car and start snuggling out with them, I've done nothing, he took it soh personal to the point of snapping them, this lead to physical assault. I wasn't even aware of all this as I was still battling with the lady calling towing van cos I refused to follow her order, on my part I'm placing calls to my connection as well, while the man and the other officer have dragged each other to area G. When its all said and done, they can't let me go due to the case becoming an assault and they need me as a witness, so I was referred to the station instead of lasma office, from 10am, it took me 1.30pm to leave as they detained the man and made me to deny him if we are not accomplice, I felt bad, but at the same time felt the man blew things out of proportion. Las las the lady was begging me and ask me to exercise patient cos DPO is involved in the case, I was just looking at her like " I don't care". At the end I drop 3k willingly when leaving since they ask for atall stall.

Rider: Local airport first I want collect something. We got to airport and he called someone on phone, the package he's waiting for is on a flight and d flight jus left Abuja.
Me: I check time and it was 6:30pm. I knew we will be there till 8pm or so. I check my money and it's reading 820.
Rider: why u dey check ur phone.
Me: jus to be sure my money dey read sir, sometimes d tin dey stop.
Rider: ok end trip but u go still carry me go back o. Jus stay for car park.
Me: ok sir, I wanted to initiate negotiation but something in me says calm down. Na so we park switch on AC o for one hour 15 mins. Oga finally got his package. He also use my phone for like 2 mins. He had a low bat3.
Rider: you know Domilos.
Me: l almost LOL, u mean Dominos Pizza sir.
Rider: take me there.
Me: drove down to Joel ogunaike. Oga enter dominos and wasted another 15 mins. He came back with his OWN pizza only.
Me: at dis stage, I don dey boil inside, request dey enter I no fit pick, pizza I no see chop.
Rider: take me back to d hotel.
Me: drove like formula one to hotel, in 2 mins we reach.
Rider: why u dey run like dis.

Rider: so na how much nah.
Me: I looked at rider, I say driving to airport, waiting for that long, paying parking space, for using my phone to make call, and for d pizza wey u no buy for me, EVERYTHING na 50k.
Rider: bursted into one big LOL. U want kill person no, oga take wetin I get joooor. I enjoy ur ride. Brought out some mint 1k note, he did not count it.
Me: I quickly did a mental calculation, d tin go reach 30k. I drive go park for car park make I count d money, I was shocked, it was 43k. I was expecting maybe 5 or 7k maximum for d trip. I don close. I might not work tomorrow. But first, am going back to Domilos (lol) to get my own pizza, and for wifey and kid too. Grace follow me waka today.

at Domilos.... This one is a big jackpot. Nice one

xana101:
Taxify don’t want to come out open and tell us they’ve stopped bonus. How can u do 8 trips from 4pm to 9:59pm on a working day with heavy traffic.

I've been looking at the possible of someone meeting that bonus, sometimes all I get is just 1 trip out of the 7

drmikeadams:
. Been very slow,,but e ne like some riders don join indriver

Indriver that have bad publicity, I dislike when you tarnish other people imagine just to sell urs.

Inbtw, I'm in safia pain right now, lock down in police station with traffic officer issue, it wasn't serious as the officers was just being over ambitious, before I know the man behind me get off his car and start fighting them, taking pictures, before I know they have drag dia self to police station, now I can't go because I'm in the centre of it all.

Gentlelife50:
My last trip this woman litter the whole car with the fruits she ate and even hid some of them in that hole by the door, immediately I end her trip I saw the mess I didn't waste time I offloaded everything for her in her waste bin before leaving she was fortunate she had waste bin I would have throw everything in front of her compound next time she will have sense.

Can't someone feel at home and bite fruits peacefully in ur car again

Gentlelife50:
Don't be deceived many drivers are into it, I said so.
But they all pretend not to be doing it, if you even mention it they will all pretend not to know what it is all about.
Only few drivers don't do it, the truth is if u work legit at the end of the day after expenses you will have little or nothing left and headache, waist pain, back pain and other little illness will also be there. That's why many drivers do it though codedly, but if your conscience is still alive it will always disturb you

I really wish we can look at dis from all angles, saka being bad is relative. First rider kept me waiting like there is no tomorrow with promise that he will settle me at the end, he gave me 3k at d end of d trip, i look at him like what are you waiting for? U don't have any change. Second one, the way they mess d car up on a 2k trip, I have to park somewhere and clean up like I'm about to set out for the day. If I know saka outside the high accuracy, this people have push me to give it consideration.


Inbtw sometin interesting happened tonight... I'm on the island ard 5, so I set destination to Ogba, as fate we have it I got a trip going to ogba and drove straight to pick rider, as we approach 3MB, the traffic seem like what d rider can't stand, so he said he is going to stop after 3MB and take a bike... Inside I'm boiling already like "Why do u push me this far". Before we got of 3MB, we engage in chat about Nigeria and politics, that was how we got to Ogba unknowingly. Nigeria truly get problem to say d least

Gentlelife50:
Lol, na so. Nothing do you, the last I have done Babcock is 15k.
Anything below I no go, unless from places like Ikeja or environs.
If there's no traffic at mowe you can pick passengers at shagamu toll gate or challenge but you have to be smart.

I just pass kara and my destination is Berger, soh I think is good enough.

cakewalk:
Carry along the league of angels at Dilabo Hotek

Lol, ah don't know Dilabo Hotel oo and request no gree enter

Gentlelife50:
Not good, 12 last. You're coming back empty

Already here boss, took 11. taxify is not a company, mc oluomo better pass them, I got a request and the rider said he is going to Babcock, my ears open wide, u say? Babcock. Check price, its around 5plus. So I told him I can't go on taxify app, but offline and we settled for 11k. Just thinking possible way I can maximise my return, app is on sha, who knows

A trip to Babcock from ogba for 10k is it making any sense

martyns200:
Hmmm, ogunvic and romeo

Chucmoore comes to mind.

Joee2932:
One of ur drivers started my trip and its a card trip. Bot charged me 500 box. He called and i told him where I'm going and he started without me and refuse to pick my calls. Should i report him so he loss his job or i just let him go.

That's if he will lose his job, where r u going to inbtw? Just asking for a friend.

As an Uber driver, im used to hearing stupid things, bro. These days, I just smile it off and move on, so far you are not insulting me

Lol, wetin man go do, the ignorant ppl I carry today almost made me to wear a frown all thro d trip from surulere to mushin, they ask me to use luth and drive pass palm ave on that bad road she was still asking me to speed, I just ignore her when she was telling the woman beside her the faster I go d less d money, I know what I am doing for driving slow (on a bad road o). Las las trip 1100, she paid 1050, using d drag as excuse for high price. I just ignore her.

Maax23:
I said it before. By year 2020 the business no go make sense again. More people are coming and fares are reducing drastically. E-hailing is gonna be a weekend hustle for me soon. What I enjoy most about dis biz is meeting people and knowing places in Lagos. It's time i diversify and channel my energy to more lucrative ventures. I can't be working like elephant and be earning like ant. Never!

I'm wit u on dis boss... The most stupid tin I hear was a rider asking the person that request for a ride if he use cash or card and he said cash. Next I hear "ooh don't u know card is cheaper to cash" I just smh face front, I don't want to say my mind.
