There's no need to set destination trip when you're in Festac, it can't get any worse, Festac is a dead end, most trips you get should be outta Festac.

Old Ojo road riders go surprise u

Those agbero task force guys just arrested me at Ikotun immediately after governor’s road junction because I parked to buy soft drink and gala just opposite where I parked. They wrote a ticket of 25k and after much begging and intercession by the person I wanted to pick , they collected 7K - my hard earned money since 9AM and I had to pay to gauge my tires because they deflated the two front tires and that’s after the rider canceled because he had to “go somewhere urgently “. They moved me into their office and you need to see the shady deals et al being perpetrated there that’s while they all reek of cigarette and weed plus beer . The government that empowered these miscreants are still the one shouting that we leave crime and do a legal hustle , I’m frustrated , angry , sad and hopeless in this damned country... everything is a scam eventually . I’ve been on the road since 9AM only for some weed smoking , beer drinking , no lifers to take all my earnings because I parked to fill my farmished self on the same place where vanagons are parked . To hell with whatever ..... Bleep !!!!!!

Be strong boss, this too shall pass.

Please house I need help as I'm low right now, I'm trying to do change of ownership and it seems like job, talk to different 4 people and dis price varies, from 40 - 60k, I don't know what or who to believe again. Please can anyone help wit a legit way to go about dis. Thanks

izzou:
It's not an error. It was traffic

They are supposed to pay for time spent too

U should have review, obviously it's app error, I did a trip admiralty way to abule egba and saw 4400 no toll gate, I have to review and get 5100.

Guys please what can I do about this, I made a request and ask a driver to help drop a certificate from Ogba to shoprite sangotedo, he picked the certificate since 1pm and since then he hasn't been taking calls but has been going to different places running on my card, he was in surulere and now back to ikeja, my trip is still running, David if you're on nairaland and you're seeing this, kindly return the certificate , I have called taxify and they said they can only block his account but won't take further action because riders have been adviced not to send anything thru drivers as bolt is not a delivery company. This is his number of you can help beg him 0803 928 7170

Sorry boss, hope he have end the trip

Gentlelife50:
Go home and come back tomorrow, I try small sha plus 2.5k offline.

Nice one boss... I envy u

peterdrury:
What's the best way to know your route if phone is not hanged, I mean an area you've never visited?

If you don't know your way, I think its better u hang your phone, dough I can't ever think of using taxify map. The reason I don't hang phone is because one is prone to many disadvantages, so mostly I know the major roads, maybe the in street is now the issue, riders take care of that and if we r on d same boat, map takes the lead.

izzou:
This country is messed up and useless

So who do we penalize for bad roads? You can't go to Badagry without passing a one way.

You penalize people for worn out tires when the road alone is enough to puncture your tires back to back....

Rubbish country

Lol! Boss easy easy, all is initial gra gra, it will work for some time and madness will be use to cure their madness. That was how I turn today at the road beside Ikeja high court, set of stupid people don't know if we are doing police and thief. I took my time to look out for any sign nd she was looking at me, before I could finishing turning, one traffic police officer (woman) block me, next she said "U b uber abi? Deh no deh turn here, you go go inside well go turn", I just tell her madam no vex, nah hustle I deh. She went on like "I no go take you go office, cos you go pay 20k, just give me anytin u get" , I was just laffing inside of me, madam nothing nothing... At the end she level down to 200 naira, for my mind I ain't giving u kobo. Las las she let me be

I don't blame dem, there is poverty in the land, if you have a traffic police officer as friend and he/she relates what they go thro on a daily bases, voluntary you will b dashing dem money, but most of them felt they are above the law and d uber question random ppl stop to ask is becoming provocative, I don't hang my phone, I try to stay smart, is it a crime now for one to sit in a clean car?

igwedehxy:
hello guys. i just got a Toyota Camry 2005 a.k.a Big Daddy. i am thinking of:

1. giving it to a fleet management company
2. Putting it on higher purchase
3. putting it up strictly for rentals
4. or doin the Uber myself ( i dont really drive well and may have to go to driving school and obtain drivers liscense)

please someone should suggest wat will be the best investment plan for me.

i will appreciate ur inputs

Option 4 seems d best if laziness won't b ur problem, but its natural, you don't have any1 bullying you, just self motivation. If you are a good driver, its either you are seeing your money or the car, but on the other hand, you may not see both.

BAZ001:
U go out 2geda
Picked a uni girl, she was asking me out.
Dt we should go to shrine anytime I'm free I say no I don't drink n smoke.

izzou:
That public holiday was terrible but I still thank God

Grossed only 12k. Riders were scarce. I patrol Lekki tire. I don't even want to remember that day

Boss and u call dis terrible, stop nah! How much do you want to gross without holiday? Really I came out and did only one trip from 1pm till 5pm, I gently start d car and head home. Its not by force

izzou:
I no call am again

Went to work on my tire. Slept off from there

Lazy driver

slamstanlee:
riders dont cancel anyhow on uber

because they are scared of #400 cancellation fee. Las las I got my bonus, but taxify have been doing me strong tin today dat I have to review my last 2 trips & negotiate 1. From chevron to surulere and churchgate to chevron both end at 1200 naira.

slamstanlee:
taxify n yeye conditions mostly put us in tight corners.

I honestly don't see why driver have to pay for riders ignorance

Epphy:
Ndo...she made you bear the consequence of stupid Taxify conditions (a victim of circumstance).
If you told her what her cancelling did to you, she would say the bonus is small na but she no fit let go of #200 balance

Lol, she ordered for her mom, when I saw her, she should b ard 18, I just over look her, taxify self display error. It is well

I'm in sifia pain right now, one stupid rider just cancel away my 900 bonus after doing 5 trips, she cancelled 3 times all because she couldn't reach me the first time, I called her with my other line and yet she said I most call her with my registered number. On the 4th request, she became soft.

Cooladex:
For offline yeah?

Whenever she needs my services.

Is offline before nah or u want Uber/Bolt to come and take dia 25/15 percent too

Boss enjoy ur tin 100%, Bolt self go get app error for this kind level

darmilolah:

On Monday my offline client that live around CalleCalled me around 8:30pm to come show her how to light has oven. I went to her house to show her. On getting back home. I saw 5k credit alert

Laff just deh catch me as I deh read dis gestures... We r finally moving to the permanent site

Boss when r u going back too?

Cooladex:
Run fire! . She's just a nice lady.

The issue was she was even been charged 20k. And I eavesdrooped her conversation on phone that day and i told her I'll help her with it.

She gave me that cos I helped her set it up in her sitting room.

When are u going back?

Cooladex:
The kind of offline you pray.

Carried this woman last week and she said I 'll help her move a one small chair and a mirror from Vi to Lekki 1. Just some few mins distance.

She transferred 10k to me.

I'm on my way home for today .

And u accepted d money, don't u think this is too good to b true? Hmmm *Run out of here*

peeps4u:
LOL.
You must be deluded to think you do better than the Uber driver driving you because you're sitting at the back seat.
Some drivers do it at their free time to see off boredom, some drivers own the car and even have other cars on Uber and taxify.

It is the disgusting mentality of riders like you (addressing drivers like your slaves) that see many drivers returning same favour to you.

For your info, you're not doing Uber or any driver a favour riding their cars, they offer you services while you pay them.

So, what's the fuss about being taxify/Uber drivers?

Respect people's hussle.

I know some average cab drivers that already have 2 houses and doing fine for themselves. There are countless ways to success. All these "Good is good" and other mass transport operators/owners started somewhere.

Don't despise people's humble beginning, not even when they are doing well for themselves.

God bless u boss
