Nigerians are very stupid & crazy! I have a friend who has a younger brother and he used to work with Jumia but not anymore.

He said some assholes would order products on the Jumia website (sometimes fridge, but usually gadgets) using "Pay on Delivery".

And when the products get dispatched with a handler, the assholes who placed the order would come out and say: "Bros, I am very sorry. I just wanted to know if the Pay-on-Delivery" is really working.

My friend's younger brother said it is one of the reasons why Jumia had to cancel "Pay-on-Delivery" in addition to bastards who would order products from its website - using "Pay-on-Delivery" and then killing the despatch rider on delivery & making away with the products.

There's no innovation that can come to Nigeria that will never be abused.

When I was still active on the e-hailing, I went to Uber's office at the Maryland Mall to update my drivers license.

I was on the queue when I heard some guys (drivers) discussing how people were cashing out big in the Uber/Taxify hussle.

When I did not come to Lagos to count bridges & flyovers, I quickly - systematically moved few steps close to them and then amplified my surveillance radar & antennae.

The guy said they would install an app called "Lokitto" on their phone and as soon as a request comes in from a rider and the Trip gets started, the Lokitto app would automatically inflate the "ride's fare".

For example, if a rider orders a ride either via Uber or Taxify and the pick-up point is Ikeja City Mall while the destination is VGC in Lekki.

Usually, the fare from Ikeja City Mall to VGC shouldn't be more than 5k depending on the traffic but the Lokitto App would inflate that amount to 10k or even more.

So the guy telling us the story said a rider reported him and Uber blocked his account, hence the reason he had to visit Uber's office to see if his account could be re-activated - because he said once you get caught, it is an automatic dismissal from the e-hailing platform.

If not for the spirit of Orunmila, I was tempted to collect the app from that guy but the consequence far outweighs the benefits.

I stopped driving on the platform the day I picked a rider from Fola Osibo Street, Lekki Phase 1 to Unilag - and the fare was 1,800Naira.

I sent Ogun (the god of iron) to butcher all the staff of Taxify including Uche - their oga with katana samurai sword.

How many 1,800Naira do I have to glean to maintain my vehicle every month? Fvck their bonuses - I don't chase that.

Until the day Uber & Taxify get back their senses, I will remain seated on the fence and allow the cannon-fodders (new anxious drivers) to be wasting their time, energies & vehicles - Good Morning!

Blackbishop:
Imagine I got a request from 12 temple to deliver food to a lady at lekki phase 1, no problem ba..... On getting to d delivery point the lady was telling me she tot they ve paid me on top 1200 pere, I tried nd explain to her ooo this bitch asked me to send my account details I did up till now she never pick her call ooo.. I don attach her pix
Her na IBK Aledo nd d person dat requested fr the ride is one DJ Sammie. So guy beware of 12 temple deal

eherbal:
Uber will be reducing fares very soon. their agents are here trying to ginger "lazy drivers". this here nigga is their handler. pls stop giving credence to him.the more we respond to his post ,the more we fuel his aim.most of us here have made more than he did in a day in 6hrs.we didn't come here to show off.
let's wait for Ubers reduction,then we know the next move to make.pls ignore jesusson2020. he's a mole,and we should be careful what is divulged here.thanks .The Almighty bless our hustle .

Gentlelife50:
Today just dey somehow for my side, I blow empty go home jare. How can I be fighting with all my riders since I came out. Huuh?

jesusson2020:
This problem might not be about driving Uber.

It could be marital problems? Downgrading problems, lack of progress.

Whatever the problems you are facing, God will take control. Stay strong and stop drinking.

God bless you.

Megadrop:
Please, why is it that most gals/oloshos going on a date especially in the night always have this strong weed smell oozing from their body immediately they step into the car. Got home yesterday and wifey was like what's that smell, have you starting smoking!

Megadrop:
Situations like this will only make you stronger so cheer up bro and fire up. Back2back trips fall on you this weekend.

GforGee:
Sorry about the loss sir. At least we've learnt something from you. Do try to check to make sure your car is in good condition next time. Have a profitable "rest of the week".

izzou:
So sorry brah....Its just a bad day you had

How did you manage the situation with the rider?

Saintoscar:
Its all your fault bros. Its advised that before going out in the morning make sure to check your car and confirme its in good condition. If you had check you'd have known your extra tire is bad and fixed it. In that case you wouldn't have damage your new tire. Take it as a lesson always check your vehicles before moving out. Car wey work perfectly today fit disappoint you tomorrow.

Gentlelife50:
Even though the trip was on surge I still wonder if it's supposed to reach that amount, did they travel outside Lagos?

jesusson2020:
I know they will come for me, because frustration have destroyed their belief and weakened their ability.

If I have follow nairaland advice about rental fee, I won't have this vehicle

Plenty of drivers are looking for vehicles, some got frustrated and do other jobs.
So at 22 you are still sucking ur mom breast. With no brain. My big bro work hard. Stop forming what you are not.

Meanwhile Monday was not bad

olusola2bello:
Chief you totally make sense.

Truth is we all have our different goals, approaches and attitudea to the business and that's what determines one's success in the business. I have been reading this thread for a long while even before i joined as a driver driving mg own car. Reading the comments i was already discouraged that it was going to b a bad business venture but as i jad just lost my job i decided to ask more folks outside of nairaland.

I started driving april 2nd and honestly i was suprised. I was expecting to net like 5k but surprisingly i was netting way more than that. ..and i only do uber.

My point is it as bad as some folks say the business is now, it definitely isnt aa bad as the picture that was painted....ofcos u also dont turn a millionaire overnight.

Its a tough hustle, body pains, long hours, good and bad riders, etc but with prayer, diligence and favour..
All will be well.

deedee44:
Well I've achieved what you're just dreaming to achieve but without making so much noise like you. I have seen clearly that your mission here is just to promote uber so this is the last time I'm quoting you. Like my boss said, we know people like you, many have come and gone before you, you will soon join them.

dru23:
My dear brother, ever since I got rid of my old manager and started managing the cars myself it has been good o .. I even have a female driver ,that nobody wanted to take a chance with..
Now do I challenges at times? Of coz just like any other business, but overall am doing much better than before bro. The point here is good drivers and good cars and good owners.. If you can mash those things up and a little bit of hard work.. The sky is the limit..
And keep in mind when everybody was jumping ships, complaining ,uber this and that joining the fence, uber is not designed for rental etc.. Am still here bro still doing it .. Correct me if am wrong .uber has been in nigeria for 4 years now? But me have been in the business for about three years now .. On business at times, you need to change your strategy and adapt to the business currant environment.. So many changes with uber up and down.. I change too ,I took better car of my cars, look for good mechanic and drivers.. I had to start from the bottom all over again.. When I say from the bottom, I sold all my uber cars that were under bad manager.. Bad oil completely destroy all my fleet.. I basically started with tokunbo cars all over. Lost millions of naira etc.. But look at me am still here .. Like 2chain said, " if you start from the bottom, you can see the top " it is not easy ,coz if it was easy everybody will be doing it . This is not a race for me ,but a Marathon.. TMC ... The Marathon Continues .........

Gentlelife50:

jpworld:
Soldier Come soldier go, barracks remain.
