Epphy:
And they will be lying about the estimate they got while requesting the trip. Heartless riders!

I've learn to treat riders based on attitude and manner of approach, I flow with the cool once, but the moment I notice a rider is d rude type dat felt he/she own both you and the car for d trip duration, I just lock up nd face my front jeje, I don't even have that energy to argue wit someone I barely even know.

Gentlelife50:
Sorry for your ordeal Bro, shitt they say happens.
The truth is Uber fare is very low, they should do something about. The job is not easy, sometimes u get short short trips and to worsen the whole thing it will be with long pick up points.
And u end up using the money to buy fuel and start again, and too much cancellation also comes with it's penalty. Otherwise drivers will be able to cancel those long pick up points and short trips.

Completely low, and one person will b requesting from 10mins, only to buy bread at a short distance... The kind swear I dash such rider, in fact I've been off uber for some time now. Thanks to some offline stuff, like on Friday while i was dropping someone at d airport on offline trip, one of my sure business partner requested I get some stuff from him from Ikeja and bring it to Oregun d next day... I billed him 20k and he agree to pay 18k, the way I park the car in front of the office, its like I use stone to shock the 4 legs, enter inside the office and slept off while I wait for dem to process what I came for. There is a need to pay attention to pricing in this business if they really wish drivers well, cos on their part, its more of soldier come, soldier go, its not only the car that will suffer, even the sun is not friendly to the body.

Gentlelife50:
All these drivers using sakamanje and those things to work una well-done ooo.
Rider will see estimate of 1k plus and at the end of the trip 3 to 4 thousands will be displayed.

Bros let them use it, some riders can be wicked, imagine! Today, I pick a rider from Berger to 2nd round about on taxify 2100. I try to talk to this guys this thing can't be the real price, let them chill while I review, they don't even want to listen to me and one even said is too much, he usually take Ojodu to lekki 1400. Speechless me, I just let dem, while I use d money to buy fuel and feel like blowing home because that sh"t really low my moral. But such its life, its a dog eat dog world out dia.

SHOCK7:
hello diamond!

You want to get scammed abi? And who told you she is a girl? Search the money exqueen and her phone number

mctfopt:
There is a good chance the image may not be the scammer. I like that you used guy or girl as the possibility of it being a guy is very high. All these scums that do not want to do a legit job.

Obviously he is a guy, the shuwan11 on twitter says it and d way he relate to political issues. He most reset this account by having another new account that comes with a new that, then anyone that wants to do a business with an account that just got registered will always take precaution. Since they have a platform that can upgrade them and put something reasonable on dia way, but they choose scum life. He most have finish the money by now.

Diamond360:
Liar

Scammer calling someone lie.... Mod u need to take this guy off nairaland, he is a pure thief, using fake moniker

Ioannes:
Wow. It's good that you have raised the alarm now. People will be more weary when they deal with him, if the deal with him.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm good, much like I'm prepared for the worst, because he have been buzzing me for long, d deadbeat even chat and comment like a normal human, I'm glad I couldn't put my trust in him, would have been bad

Diamond360:
and they have not started

So your stupid being can come online and type reasonable, please all, avoid doing business with this moniker with d pix below... Can't tell if she's a girl/guy but she once scammed someone on this site with the moniker Exqueen, now using diamond360 to scam, did business with her yesterday and she went mute with my money . Beware of this phone number +234 808 932 3186

Ioannes:
What kind of business are we talking about here? Expatiate!

She/he is into cryptocurrence and buy gift cards.... Neva really get to dig deep until i found out someone complained of PayPal transaction with her/him... She/he have been on my time line for month, buzzing, chatting, checking my whatsapp status... But I made it clear to her I can't trust her/him, but let me just give her d benefit of doubt and I wasn't surprised. Its nothing anyway, as she went offline since yesterday and surface now, it is best to raise the warning signal to other people. I'm sure she is out again with normal activity online to scam other people.

Please nairaland mod should take note

Chuksmonika:
let me borrow an expression that my good friend and brother Antiriot uses frequently on our other thread....I put it to you that you are the wisest man in Nairaland...

Please we all should learn to give when we can,there is nothing wrong in that,there is a reason why God blessed you will so much money,and one of the reason is for you to help others

I wish I can agree with both of you, his write up is what I am thinking through this morning while having my bath, If I continue like this, only God knows what next. Sometimes we thoroughly want to help and be of help for people that need help, I've you ever place a call to check on someone and you regret the action? Have you ever tip someone on your way and before you get home, his/text msg is already waiting, only because you part with the little you have.

I have someone that begged money from my friend and I, and I guess d purpose is aso-ebi, only God knows the number of people she down just for a party. Nigerians have made habit out of social begging, just load one nice pix and if you don't lock up, you will pay for that pix. Let's learn to cut our coat according to our cloth.

pafo:
But seriously, this activity score nonsense is a scam on taxify o.

Requests will enter your phone and the rider will cancel immediately while still counting on your score.

How is that your fault?

It makes reaching their bonus quite difficult.

She has a right to defend herself. That you are a police officer doesn't mean you don't have a right to defend yourself against bullies either online or offline.

I'm not saying she doesn't have a right, but there is always a best thing to do in every situation and can you truly say this is the best she can come up with, if PMB choose to react to every insults both on and offline, hope you will see it as normal as well.

The police woman lack manners, in as much as she have a message she's trying to pass across, the best way to handle such issue is to ignore considring the position she is occupying. How do we say police PRO that is supposed to be making peace is d one caught up in petty act, what is she trying to prove actually?

As for the big L, I think she need it more or she should remain in the police force forever... Just like Regina, Vicky has done her part in the entertainment industry (Hint front page, collectibles ad & more), they are just a product of failed nation (Pat attah, Liz Benson, Dora, Sandra achums, etc), that's why they have to find a place where they feels the ground is greener, let's b grateful they are not into drugs.

Greatest of all time

Happy birthday Boss. Just use am do birthday souvenir for we we

Gentlelife50:

That's how they do, they want to do big man but don't want to spend money.
If possible some people will even ask you to come to their room to carry them.
I have noticed the difference between oyibo riders and typical naija riders.
Oyibo request next he calls to give you further directions and will also tell you his destination.
Sometimes they may even come out of their gate to enter your car and engage you in discussion unless they are two.
He will always help with directions during the trip if they know the place.
I mistakenly passed the supermarket a white was going to he told me not to bother that he will walk back to the store but if it's our people the next thing is they will shout at you first telling you you have passed where they are going to and insist you must reverse.

You can neva compare a foreigner to an average naija rider. I've missed not driving much this month, sometimes I just miss the madness and the unforeseen events.

Few of dem: I'll neva forget d humble beginning, when I used to b naive. I picked a man from lekki phase one, going to airport, the way d man shouted at his maid before entering the car made me breath deep (I don enter dis one). Next I hear, see I am late already, you have to b very fast, he was totally controlling d steering from d back sit, I was just doing 130 on 3rd mainland and yet dis man kept shouting you are not fast enough till we miss the bridge linking to Anthony... He kept putting pressure on me while I was busy trying to navigate my way to ojota so I can turn back to Maryland, before I knw was up, I turned to ikorodu ramp... Here we are facing ketu oga kill me if you won kill me

Another was the day I picked a girl from osapa going to LI shop at lekki phase 1 (obviously her sales girl). She requested for 2k, I gave her when we get to her point of alight, she told me; I need to use the ATM, I let her. She came back with an excuse the ATM is not working, she's late and can't wait, maybe I should take the ATM and withdraw, then return it when am done. Laugh almost tear my stomach, see me and camera wahala... Since I knw her office I let her go, it took me 3 weeks with insults to get my money back.

Still fresh the day four girls mess with my head, taking them from one eatery to another on admairity way, they careless with dia stupid talk as if I am not a human. Time to end and pay for trip #1500, dis girls brought out 500 and plead they don't have cash on dem with promise to transfer 1k, I'm still waiting..

Once picked a guy that wants to buy food, this dude turn and turn me around the whole place, eventually got food he like, if you see the way he was tearing the turkey inside d car, long throat nearly finish me. Time to pay 2500. Next I hear, boss! I no hold reach like dat here nah 1k I get here, just drop you account I'll send it later... I took the 1k in good faith, 4 days later he transfer 3k5 to my acct.

Still fresh, the day I picked a girl from ejibo to magodo on taxify, dis girl heap insult on taxify based on the first driver she had pick up issue with. On getting to magodo, app issue and the trip displayed 1k, her response was so inhuman "Wo, luck me ni". I was just looking like mumu, crack d engine and head home straight.

God help me, the experience so far is worth the learning, hope it won't get beyond that, like the day I asked an army man to get down from my car because he was insisting on a particular route around 10pm

damola1:
You better go to oyinbo country.

What I find irritating is when a driver calls and ask where I am going to? I mean that question should be for the app not me. You take the job, simply focus on doing it.

If you don’t want the trip then don’t put up your app

Thank you for your comment, but let's be reasonable here as a human. You requested for a ride, the driver notify you of the traffic ahead and you oblige. Let's assume 10 mins into the trip, you start feeling unease due to d traffic and you start giving 101 reasons why you have to alight. "See you have to cancel d trip, I'm running late, the money is accumulating, see just cancel it", trip got cancelled and the price is #500, driver spent the next 3hrs trying to nevigate his way out of where you lead him too (Nothing hurts more then when d driver have a route in mind, but you kept telling him follow here, turn here and end using the phrase "cancel d trip". As a business oriented person will you take such request next time? Even think about the driver accepting a request where his safety is zero and you expect him to put you and uber/taxify first?

Yes! A driver took a job to take you to a destination, both of you have mou to get to a particular point, morally I just felt it is wrong for you to back out at a point, because you felt its no longer favourable to you again. So if such continues, I felt a business like mind have the right to ask and protect his/her business. Uber/Taxify says only operate in Lagos and I don't think drivers should accept request leading them to other states or courrier service, but it's the same riders that will ask for such service and even expect you to drive into their bedroom (honestly we have inferior complex and abuse privileges in Nigeria). I am still looking for where it is stated in any app to make payment using transfer, after a trip, some would just say it with a complete attitude " Give me your account", as if both of you agreed on such before and expect you not to roll eyes on him/her.

Can't remember the last time I drve during the week, but I think you riders should stop trying what you can't try with yellow buses on the platform. We are human and some people are out here for the fun. E get where e go reach, forget suit&tie (app), we go both come down and swim inside that mud, if that's the only way to get clean.

Nairaland destination trip


Why am I feeling lyk dia is no different btw taxify comfort and dis trip

Gentlelife50:
Are lite drivers not complaining too? Besides these days almost all the riders now know the difference between lite and taxify, they know it's corolla that will still come and pick them after all so why pay more?
And me I am on taxify category but almost all the trips I do these days are lite.

There will always b complain, but we obviously can't compare Taxify and lite.

Aside dat; how do u get lite request on taxify cat.

@Ifyeez & Brogxy! What is happening now is called the principle of supply & demand. I have read so many comments here, how some drivers are having free flow and just don't care about future doom. Drivers need to come together, understand the power within, this no corolla, no business in my opinion is rubbish (from d onset, it wasn't like dat, but shift in price begot dat). I think one should be able to use reasonable low cost car and still make something out of it. Drivers r too quick to adjust to whateva being thrown at them.

Taxify change the game wit dia lite package and riders r adjusting to it daily. Uber did not keep constant 1.1 surge, because deh care, taxify lite wit dia 10 minutes drive is just the reason for low request on uber. Now they even call drivers for feedback & any adjustment to note.

The best bet is either to find a way to join lite, accept the low price in good fate or wait till 5pm when demand is high on all app.

dru23:
Funny enough this is what I was explaining to the bakery /purewater guy earlier on. Basically has a uber driver you get a lot of chances to meet people and network.. It is up to the driver to make the best out of it .... You people for nairaland no dey respect my views at all ..when dru23 speaks they talk say I smoke something again

As long as one is open minded, good sense of humour and knowledgeable, the opportunities r endless.

@Meme... Boss! Stealing is not corruption

Reading all d argument about business all day sadden my heart to see someone or people playing monopoly of wisdom. As much as i try to avoid any issues, due to the fact that the advantage and lessons learnt so far can't be comprehend to the disadvantage and folks trying to foster their idea on people. Which some times push to react, but out of respect for those we run to like Oga Gazzuzz, Ogunvic, etc makes me held back. Luxy44 please find passion in what your love & stick to it, not everyone here is into this business for the dough, the so called business u mentioned above have sent people to early retirement and had I know, so please enjoy some big Cole & bread without dragging people. What you forgot to ask yourself... Where were they b4 uber/taxify? Where are they now? What's dia plans like? Uncle if they are making headway for their life, then stop wasting your business plan on them, folks do sell that for absolute living.

Thanks for this prayer. God is indeed blessing the work of my hands.
I now partially own a Toyota Camry 2005
How?

Picked a rider from Ikeja GRA to Surulere.
I commented on how I thought he was a female from his soft voice over the phone. We got talking: e hailing, business etc. He saw a Toyota corolla 2000 model on the other lane and started gushing about how he loves that car. He intends selling one of his cars to get that. How it is portable and very economical and fits into his daily waka. I quickly chipped in 'what car do you intend selling'? Big daddy, he replied. I am interested
To cut the story short, the car is parked in my house now. My car.
There are angels moving around to bless you. Try to recognize them when you meet them.
The man is a barrister. I still owe him 100k and he has given me up to September to pay him at my convenience. Gotten on a platter of gold

Nice one
