Crvrider:
The guy was prolly hungry for cold sprite

I'll prefer cold hollandia

peeps4u:
Maybe, may be not
Fried rice and a piece of beef or perhaps a bottle of water wouldn't be too much

That's what I tot, but how d tin arrived at 1600 beats my imagination... Its a little tin, but I'm just not d type dat lyk to over use opportunity, been working 8 to 9/10pm for her since d last 3 dayz, even wheb she offered malt on Sunday I didn't take it

slamstanlee:
shola that yesterday traffic at ikorodu road i was a victim. I suffered. My worst day on this job. Spent 5 hours on the trip. 2nd trip of the day from 3pm to 8pm uber

Typically i explore anywhere if it's a long distance on weekends cos getting a trip out wont be an issue.
Drop a pastor at abule egba and got another trip again.

Me:destination ma?
Rider:ikorodu.
Me:ok hold on..
Quickly check d fare estimate 3800 to 4k+. Check ETA: 1hr 40. Well not bad i thought.
I should get a trip back asap...

5hrs. Trips 6k
Rider was even calling till 11pm to. Check if i hv gotten home.

Both going in and coming out.
Cause of traffic: road maintenance.

For the first time i had to be doing trips within ikorodu. And trips were coming.

Around 11pm i said lemme leave this place. Got to
Agric and set destination. Got one to the street next to my house, rider put a wrong pick up and couldn't explain, got frustrated and cancled.

11.30pm i check ETA to my house 1hr50mins.

12.15am
With one mind i hit the road. Luckily the LRU response bike and trucks were going for a rescue. Na so i followed them one way drive with siren.
Got out in less than 35mins.

I can't live in ikorodu. Maybe if they build the 4th mainland bridge. One way in and out. No alternative route.

Nonsense

This one strong oo... The best is to now check map before going to ikorodu

Inbtw: guilty conscience won finish me here and nah my oga dem cause em. Rider I took to Agbara on Sunday and lekki yesterday, still on another waka today since 9am, ask us to pull over at mega chicken, that was how she ask me to order for anything... I only ask for fried rice, beef, plantain and sprite, I never knew the bill could get to 1600. I just have dis misfeelings like its overdo

We've forgotten issues that should b discuss regarding church matters, see the way they are talking about church like motel ground. Randy pastor and members

Buynowautos:
I don't know how ppl enter these bad streets, is fixing lower arm that cheap? For most of you guys?

No gesture of offence intended, but u r setting yourself for a block doing dis, avoid text as much as u can, phone call is better boss. Have a good trip along idimu road

Cooladex:
Some of them bad riders dey look face o.
Was at ajah late yesternight and I got a trip to Int'l airport, they were 2 ladies and we got along pretty good. They even said it's been a while they met a nice driver b4, until we picked there friend around ikoyi. (She was just seeing them off o)
That one started by saying "oga increase your a.c. abeg", I did that without talking.

As i headed for oshodi to link int'l airport na him this babe start to dey rant "why will you follow here, why not follow opebi, Ikeja side, 'which kain thing be this"

I was like are you normal at all? Do u even know Lagos? Do u know road?. I just parked rake for her wella.
The other ladies had to beg me that she don smoke. I said no wonder.

Una go teach person bad tin for dis platform its easy to spot the rider that will pay when friends r on a trip, the one that will pay is always calm and barely talk, but the one that won't pay will always have some tin to say or complain about. Me I'll just look front after checking my energy.

eghuan1:
There was traffic under those trees by the sports ground at gbagada, when coming from the express.

Next thing I heard was the breaking of the back glass and somebody shouting give me your phone and bag. My rider threw her bag to the front and they collected her phone.

Another guy came to the front, broke the front window and asked me for my own phone, there's one bad phone I keep in the car which I gave them before they left

Sorry boss, be strong... To many unguided ppl in world.

ediku208:

Sorry boss... I don't have the intention to go for the bonus, but since the request is flowing, let me go with it.

dapotemi:
Today, i am one WEEK old on uber. I have followed this forum for 3 years b4 i finally decided to take a bold step. I will like to share my experience.
I commend all d drivers on ehailing, the job is TEDIOUS. I have a 9-6 job and sometimes i close early. I bought a car that i intend to give out on rental/HP but i jus wanted to try it out first. Went tru all d reg process seamlessly. The truth is if u follow dis thread diligently you already have 99% of everything u need, less d experience. I enter road on friday for 5 hours and i did abt 4k net, after deducting uber fees/fuel. My corrolla seems to do btw 8k to 12k on 2k fuel. The second day, i did 14k net, i close at lekki almost 2am, i was getting bck to back so it was tempting, wifey was madt wen i got home so late. I completed I tink 15 trip and uber reduce fees to 3%.
After service on sunday, i got a trip to Abule egba frm ketu (3k), got a return trip to Mende in Maryland (1,800), i was shock cos i was expecting 2500 at least, though road was free. I finally close on sunday around 10pm wit 11k net, i did 2500k fuel. I pick some chinese in sheraton to ZEN restaurant in isaac john and my whole car was smelling so badly, thanks to fragrance wey i carry. On monday i resume at d office and d pain was REAL, serious body pain. Everyone notice i had a hectic weekend. After work on Monday i took a rider frm Palms lekki to Radisson Blu, it was jus 12 mins trip and fare shows 1,480 . i knew something was wrong but i don't know what. Rider flare up that she pays 650 on d first leg. I ask her to contact uber. She jus dey para, threw 500 inside d car and left, i almost loose my temper. immediately she gave me 1 star, note that i already have 23 five star on 26 trip. Then d next day i got a mail frm uber tht i have been flag for fraud, and immediately they suspend my promo. Up till now i dont know exactly what went wrong. The only tin i notice was that my uber map was showing d pick up location of the rider i took b4 taking d radisson blu rider, byt because i knw d drop off point, i did not use d map.
Na so uber bounce me for promo o, i only get 100 naira after each trip and 3% service charge. My Advice;
This job is not for d lazy, faint hearted, u need to chin-up.
Secondly, ur first target at d begining of d week is to reach d first 15 trip and reduce uber charges to 3%. The 25% is outrageous. By tuesday evening dis week, i have done 15 trip and on 3%.
Thirdly, dress neatly, clean ur car, clean YOURSELF. I have met some drivers and i felt so disappointed. I understand if ur car is dirty, due to d areas we ply, YOU should not be DIRTY. A lady entered my car and she said are u sure youre my uber driver, and i smile. At the end of d trip, i ask her if shes now sure am her driver. She said ALL uber drivers are always looking scruffy, i scold her for that generalisation tho.
Fourthly, my first 3 days I was accepting trip to anywhere, that was a MISTAKE. Some places are no go areas henceforth due to bad road; inside surulere, aguda, ijesha , idi araba after luth, part of lawanson, part of ikosi ketu. ISLAND remain d best place. For me, best place to get trip is Magodo, i hardly finish a trip b4 getting another. On d island is Admiralty.
For me, i HATE cash trip, riders are always Hyper when they are paying cash, less wahala if its card. Easy for me because i have some residual cash i can always use for fuel. So much to say.
At the end of my first week, i net 64k after ALL deduction, i owned my car. Someone showed 17500 on a 3500 fuel here. I got motivated and i did 17k on 3500 also. The job is abt determination and motivation. If its to keep body and soul together for a while, its not a bad job. PLS ALWAYS REST, i saw alot of drivers sleeping on wheels, i had to use my horn to wake some of them up! Pls always have enough SLEEP. I met some female riders too. I doff my heart for their spirit and huzzle. They're d real huzzler. Today, am resting at home.

Nice one, I like d temptive part.I have a wedding by 3pm, but here I am looking for short trips

pappy2000:
I bought a car for close to a million naira and someone idots will want me to blow ac with five people then still give me 500 naira, I just regret ever stepping into this business, for the unemployed, I am sorry u got no choice but as for me, I will look for other type of business, I carried one olosho yesterday from ikorodu with the very bad road network to a place , she asked for music n ac to the total fare was just 1k, thisis supposed to be a premium service not just for rif raft, it's even. Better to do the yellow taxi than to do this ehailing ride, ithe beauty of it is that I am now a car owner back n I got a very fuel efficient matrix but for me after 5 days in the business of ehailing I will say I am done, I will look for something else to do, I just imagine if I have actually resigned my job face. Ehailing squarely it's just like death penalty , as for the car owners I understand what it's means to being out cash nbuy a good car with the hope of profits, those drivers are failing hell for those who say they make 70k a week at what expense the road network in ikorodu is extremely bad , I made 2k yesterday I don't know how much I will spend of the car today to fix the shocks , it's a crazy world out there , I now understand what the drivers are truly facing if I were just a driver who took a car from an investor some will call me lazy but no I saved up for this but I can always use the car for personal use then most of the people on bolt are ladies I mean the riders and they want premium service at almost no cost , I am done finally with ehailing,

You are somewhat on point boss, but if you follow the situation out here, you will agree wit me that what we all need is understanding. Let me use bolt lite as an example, when the lite thing came up, ppl on bolt always have a field day sleeping in dia car, it wasn't easy to get trip or meet up with bonus, so it tends to say the lower d price, the more drivers get request and the higher the price, d less drivers get request. Which will you prefer? Stay in your car all day and sleep till you can't sleep any more? What they could have done (both uber/taxify), is too spot hot areas where service is inevitable like malls and airport put a reasonable basefare like from 3/5k to any destination less from d regular taxi fare, while the normally reading starts from the basefare soh if you are going to phase 1 from airport, you are sure of 7/8k unlike the 3500 from airport to phase 1.

A lot of tinz have to b put in place, I just feel will have more cars and the company can't really help it but to keep reducing price, so they can accomodate everyone.

Crvrider:
So how did you deal with the situation?

I ask em to use change destination, he was just a novice regarding how the app work.

All dis riders self... Pick one on d island on 1.4 surge and he ask me to go drop his girlfriend on same island. Got dia and he was like "OK! So can we end this and start my own trip". I just look at em from straight face, hoping he doesn't want to b unfortunate in life. So he want me to cancel 1.4 surge from island to mainland

xana101:
It’s like most Uber/taxify drivers take poo. Got to pickup point at Ago-palace way. This lady came out. Said I’ll take her to Ido market and come back. I ask her hope we won’t wait too long at d market. She just got angry. That I’m d first driver to ask such question. That she can keep a driver waiting for 2 hours. It’s her money counting. I just ask her to go down that I can’t wait. She came down and I canceled d trip. Immediately another request came in and She was was going to Ajah. Some riders are making this job get frustrating. If u do legit, they look down at u. If u decide to do otherwise, they worshipped u.

She will accord d next driver with some dignity, when you see a rider being so reasonable, its a function of one driver not feeding her ego.

pappy2000:
I wish to write my expereice on my 2 days journey on uber. I will say right away its not worth it i started yesterday i got my first request around spar in yaba a lady said i should bring stuff for her at unilag then i got a request from unilag to alapere then i close for the day
today i got a request from magodo to ikoyi...... then after waiting for request for such a long time then i decide to go back home then on getting to uba i got a request from uba to vi then from there i headed back to the arms of my lovely wife but i must say its just not worth it. I am using a matrix 2003 xR. I think what i saw today tells me the levels of unemployment in this country. today, i am so grateful that i have a job i am doing uber is for the lion hearted. omo come see insult
