Na this kind trip pope dey enjoy

Lol… nothing go make me touch such trip

Glithronix:
I bring this to you, pope191.

Fuji house of commotion. Everybody won go out at the same time.

Glithronix:
It is well.
There's nothing I hate more than hearing a rider telling me he/she wants to branch somewhere, or pick someone up somewhere, or dropping something somewhere which will definitely increase my driving time and most especially, complete off the route to the destination.

The fact that I can simply impose extra charges doesn't solve my problem, cos most of them don't have the intention of adding extra.
The ones that want to add will be telling me some annoying extra they can add for stopping/branching. I've got 1/2 stars because of this and that one no concern me.

I tell em straight that I don't do branching/stopping, if you insist, I will give them outrageous extra charges if it's a must.
Some will propose a good extra and some will get you mad with nonsense extra. Smiles.


If you want to be doing all this branching/stopping, kindly switch onto bolt, abeg.

Funny enough, all Indrive riders know that In-drivers hate hearing branching/stopping, but they will want to throw it to you maybe you're one of the meek ones.

Much respect, baba.

I get… there’s no such thing as I’ll add to it. I’ll ask how much and the minute they are willing to use.

Glithronix:
And when you give them offline price using your discretion, they will think you charging them too high and start complaining until you send them to go online and they see the price themselves.
The same reason I no too like offline too, cos I hate argument and too much explanation.
Some offlines I do are those riders who don't care about the price and don't want to stress themselves by ordering and waiting for another ride.
my neighbors as well, and referrals, offline comes from them, too.

Much respect, baba.

Almost all concept in life comes with demand and supply. One have to understand the mindset of the person you are dealing with and value of commodity before dealing.

All is in the power of presentation. Most people actually dont care about price, but safety, trust and security. Not saying we don’t have the kaku ones, but the principle is to take your shot, if it works fine and if it doesn’t? Fine.

One of the mistake riders make is to ask for a stop or take off route on indrive. Once he or she ask me what do you want me to add? You’ll hear me saying, no you talk. And they will go like you talk, if it’s not good we don’t have to go. I’ll be like madam, I have problem oo, the money I’m looking for is 2 million, I can mistakenly ask you to pay 2 million or you want to help me subtly. I’ve already create jokes and ease the person mind. If I am expecting 5k, I’ll thro 10k. The haha will enter. Las las we will end it at 6 or 7k. Most times I analyze cost of gas and ask them to do the maths.

13 Olabiriro Street.

IFSHR:
You no go collect money for your ride....cos they might delay him and so u can go...they will ask you drop your details....in my own situation back then...me I collected my money on the spot before them carry the guy dey patrol up and down....cos na money them self wan collect....

Gbam! As much as I may want to have mercy on the rider. The street is military. Everybody is hustling the next man, so a guy man should also learn the act of not lose guarding. Not supporting fraud tho, but we are where we are right now.

Sometimes I wonder why we have police stopping cars few meters away from African Shrine, while they are seeing them from far. This country no just balance.

Gentlelife50:
Nigerian police force are something else, you arrested a rider and was telling driver to send his account after billing the rider heavily, you claim he's got something in his phone and he's a fraudster.

Nothing new here, either you are having pity for the rider or both of them should handle each other. I understand my clients and before we move, I ask them if they have issue with the popo, because this route? Hmmm! If e happen, I won’t get myself involved. You will carry some clients and they will be oozing all choko, some will even hold it with the mindset that nothing will happen. So far, our police have been doing their job. Barely any driver here can say they harass him needless. As long as you don’t have anything to warrant being harass? Lagos police hardly disturb.

And for that lady I carried going for a church program yesterday at Adeniyi Jones from Yaba. It’s only the gods that will judge you. How can someone play Asake from Yaba and change it to worship songs on approaching Allen? The most painful part is when he was about to burst Lonely At The Top. You will obviously slip out of the spirit and won’t know when you will voice ololade Asake in church.

Gentlelife50:
People can't just pass without hitting your car, what's wrong with Nigerians?
Na waaooo, even adults won't keep their hands one place.
One even hit the side mirror as if they have been quarreling before, this Tinubu Lagos sef.

lol… school children never resume you don deh complain. Try park for any place wey public school children just close. You no go even fit talk.

Glithronix:
Baba, alignment always comes last after anything has been done on car legs nahh.

Boss @pope191, wetin dey sup for your Ojodu Berger nah? Dem don finish the express ni? Cos I no dey see traffic there on map again like before.
Shey to-and-fro of the express don complete?
Make person dey take order go there.

Much respect, baba

Why you won carry trip come here? You deh see me for Ketu? Abeg make everybody deh em lane. Trip wey never do us. If you see traffic for Berger yesterday, e reach 5 hours

dharmie13:
Have been using old plate number all this while...the plate number in blue..but it's not faded

If there’s Nigeria map on it, I don’t think they should be any issue.

konkoabove:
Thanks baba. Na Lagos state latest threat about faded number plate dey bother me.

I get boss… I’ll find way to go about mine too.

Glithronix:
Baba, so you want make the thread enter front page, too?
Heheheheheeee - I laugh in Burundi style.

Much respect, baba.

Just attending to HEr request. This trend they own is on lane.

MzCynthia:
This thread should be on the front page

Where is oga feli
Pope, bazoo, dru23, and the rest?

@Larry sorry I don't do dead threads, I prefer chatting here in the open

Cc Seun

konkoabove:
@Pope191 baba, still on the number plate reprint, can I walk into any of FRSC offices to do the reprint or they have special centers for it?

I don’t know if they have special center, but I know they do it at ojodu office. Best you try anyone close to you boss. Yet to do mine sha… I gave them 5k to start process last year December, but never went back. The lord is my helper.

Glithronix:
Baba, no be small thing.

Hmmm

Glithronix! Hmmmm hmmmm

ReadaDream:
Pope, no they disguise. Which grass them they burn?

Lol… hibiscus nah

YeyeGbami:
No be by that one boss. It is unfair to hardworking ladies

I’m indifferent, there’s nothing new under the sun. When person burn grass, e normal to see the world from another angle.

YeyeGbami:
That mentality won’t take you anywhere, there are tons of hardworking girls out there. Change your circle

Lastly, you have the right to your opinion

This must have hit you different for you to leave meme. Guess you have a daughter.

Same way mothers feel for their sons is how fathers feel for their daughters. Weldone

konkoabove:
The best bet is to prevent indrive's auto-start and tapping call icon. I don't have the energy to be doing back and forth with support.

Yea, but sometimes I want to lock the trip or avoid lateness. A girl cancelled what could have been my last trip yesterday. From surulere to charity 4600. The time was around 9:30pm, I’ve driven like 4 mins from the 5 mins, so I called as I was about entering her street. Next I hear is, oh! Sorry I book both on Bolt and Indrive and the Bolt is here.” The thing pain me enter bone. Later saw 3100 to ICM from Tejuosho around 10. I didn’t even bother to price her, driving home empty won’t be fun atall.

konkoabove:
I guess you tap "I'm here" before getting to the pick up location?
They will issue refund if it's in your refund wallet. If not, write support and prove your case.

So support still reply, indrive ain’t returning nothing. Those guys may be worst with time

BAZ001:
You dey mind that clown
Another olalekan loading just dey watch

Wetin deh say Lekason do again.

Me gently listening to Kizz, no time.

Bros still never swear say em no use proxy moniker.

konkoabove:
Effect of fastest finger first, I guess. Sorry for your experience.

I'm beginning to suspect security breach on indrive app as a result of this incessant "Ride has already been taken" stuff or maybe indrive can't maintain the surge in users.

For ikeja? You are talking about fastest finger, do you want to give price even with picking rider’s price, the trip is not certain. One have to use speed of light to survive Ikeja.

konkoabove:
Thanks pope, I appreciate. Although you quoted the wrong person.

Please can I walk into any of their offices to do it or they have designated place for the number plate reprint?

No vex, today don drag me, I deh ikeja for 2 hours no trip. I’ll pick and cancel. Traffic on Ikorodu road. I don’t know if I am the only one feeling the low trip today. Target must be met.

mejai:
Check what I highlighted in that Felicity post and my comment there. He went back calling u pope bro, not the other name. I was like next post he will change the name. Me and u never dey fight nah.
Moreover, I supported pearl1910 decision, which I stated up there. Ur decision, ur mood.
All I know is that I can never take a request to or from hospital (if I know b4 hand). But if u beat me to that, who am I if I can render them help? After all, I may be a victim. So it depends!

Am I supposed to apologize now for misinterpreting your ambiguous post? Let me know if you want apology. I only post this, honestly not because of taking someone to hospital, but car as a bed space is where I am confused and wish we could figure out a best way to handle it. If Felix wants to judge, he can be my guest. I don’t take him serious, he has been looking for issues. Not scared tho, but I have better things to spend time on.

MrReeseG:
I don laugh tire today


Abeg, what should I keep an eye out for on these requests? I don confuse o

25k FrSC

mejai:
Finally... Next post now u change.

Change in what way? What’s the different between you and Felix. Am I supposed to take unstable character like both of you serious? Someone that just said no right or wrong. Someone that can’t remember if it’s a he or she. Someone that is trying to beat curfew but have his app on. Middle of the night and no police road block, while we have road blocks scattered everywhere during this period. Someone that tell lies needlessly. Someone that said rider will die in my car and will eventually mock me if the eventual happen. I don’t want to attack you, if you have a view or as a driver that have been in this position. Tell us how to go about it and stop being a coward hiding behind monikers.

I took them to the hospital, waited till they got cleared and even offer to take them to the other hospital, but won’t be waiting. It is not a thing of force uncle. I have already spent an hour on a trip that should not be more than 5 mins. If there’s emergency, I’ll gladly help…. But if riders now habitually turn driver’s cars to bed space as it is becoming a norm, I’ll beg to leave.

If you think I have not help riders, you don’t want to know the things I have done. 3k trips on a 4.9 rating, even Felix can’t attain that in life to come.

He Felix should come out and swear that he didn’t benefit from Larry’s giveaway by proxy. I laugh for quoting to take that Akamu serious.

Pearl1910:
If u say it's no longer an emergency then why do u still fear if the man passes on in your car.
Why were they rejected and refered to Lasuth if it wasn't a serious emergency?

Well, Like I said earlier, ur decision wasn't professionally, ethically or morally wrong. U are right that in sane climes, the first hospital should provide an ambulance to convey the patient. But we are in Nigeria. I only said what I would do if I were in ur shoes. Not judging u brov.

And you don’t care to know why the doctor won’t accept him. He prolly went back to his office to watch some tv and felt ok, because he is doing his job. I knew they won’t accept him from get go, only took them there to fulfill righteousness. How about if they also reject them in the next hospital, I have to keep going in circle with them, so I can appear as Mr Nice guy. Like I said it wasn’t a case of emergency, as I have seen thro that. Now it’s a call for them to do the right thing. I can’t make decision for them and it will be unfair to put me in the position of what I already knew. They don’t even mind if the man go at that moment, as one of them said, he has tried. Hearing such words from them is enough for me to think far.

My question is how right is it to use Uber drivers to replace ambulance, as this situation is no longer a peculiar one. Same goes to the riders that will send drivers on delivery and one won’t have choice but to enter receiver’s sitting room.

dav1002:
Don't be a FELICITY my friend
Much respect

Lol… Knor vex. Send your account, let me bless you.

Pearl1910:
Pope, like they say, it's different strokes for different folks. Our mood might also influence our decisions per time.. It's not cast in stone.

Asking them to get an ambulance in a time of emergency is wasting precious time. Since they aren't coming from the hospital per say and moreover client might not be bouyant enough to hire one. If ur fear is that (God forbid), the patient dies in ur car, u have done nothing bad either, nobody will hold u or ask u to write police report. U have tried ur best. But if the man didn't make it because they couldn't get to d hospital ontime, u will not be happy with yourself. Just for a moment imagine it's ur family member and u have a car, will u say they should get ambulance?
Like I said earlier, your decision isn't bad, it's ur choice, but in going about our business let's not forget about humanity.

Not ones not twice, I have been in this situation, and my day ended because even my mental health and moral will just go low. Life is fragile. I have carried accident victims from d highway and drove 140km/hr top speed risk my own life for over 100km
distance looking for hospital that will admit them. When I was still in school, I carried a guy that fell off a pickup truck during SUG campaign to the hospital...omo the smell of blood didn't leave my car for months...I used jik, hypo, kleen for where, d blood was much but what can I do I will still help.
I know we can all do this, because of human sympathy and we will do it for free.
So why not at the least even charge them if necessary and let the life be saved first before we think of car being messed up or time wasted. That's my take sha.

Cool! Maybe you didn’t get the picture well and my question inbetween. I carried them to the hospital out of thinking it may be an emergency. Getting to the hospital, it is no longer an emergency, but decision. I have family and aged people. So I won’t leave them or anyone in bad state. Family or not, I don’t place life over life as we are all human. I don’t believe in saying things that I have done, but if it is a person with disability, I always help till I get them to point of comfort, I may take whatever they give me in form of money, even if it is not worth the actual trip price. Anyone that has been thro this will tell you mostly they don’t pay the actual price, but understanding and human should be the key.

If I am not mistaken this people don’t have money issue as presumed. Even the woman make it clear that she have siblings scatter everywhere and they can decide to charter me for the whole day (sorry ma, I don’t do such service). It may end up being a process of using Uber for everything and it comes cheap. The mans health does not start that morning and it wasn’t anything close to emergency. Hospitals should have ambulance at get go and bed space. We live in a failed society where we try to rest our inability on people conscience. If the man should d*e in the car? Obviously I am going offline for like 2 weeks at most, I know my kind of person. Am I ready for someone to d*e in the car? No. Charge them? Can’t put money on life. Police report? Death is not as picture, if you ask me. They may not want to take him home. From there to mortuary, to one unforeseen place or another. Boss I am not that strong. If this man should pass today(God forbid) aso ebi will go round, people will flew in from different places, event center will take million. I don’t think Uber drivers should be the one dealing with health related issues, except in a case of absolute emergency.

Thanks

Pleaser I’ll like to ask this, if I can do better when next I face with such.

On Saturday, while waiting for a trip around Omole. I got a request from there to county hospital for 1k. So I tot of using the trip to reposition to Ogba area, since Berger gets block in blink. Called the person and she wasn’t at the bus stop as put, but like a minute away. On getting to her, she need to take her aged father to the hospital.

Hmmm! This kind of trip scares me and all, I honestly don’t appreciate all these drive inside package. Due to her saying her daddy and hospital, my conscience won’t let me cancel. Lo behold, they carried him into the car. Can’t talk, can’t walk, just banting. I wasn’t comfortable, had to speed off to the hospital. We got there and the hospital madness start. They can’t admit him till doctor gives go ahead, so they have to reach out to the doctor first. He came and said, they can’t admit him, he should be taken to general hospital. All this while, he was inside the car. I dash them the car for the moment, while I hang some where for them to work things out. So the lady called me and point, Oya oga! General hospital. I nod my head in no, I can’t do that. She flipped and blab on are they no going to pay me for the service, blab blab. I wasn’t mad at her, because I understand. Straight up I told her, madam I honestly don’t have to do this, but life is involve and it seem like emergency was why I did it. Right now it is no longer emergency. Get the service of an ambulance or you people should charter a vehicle that’s ok with health related issue.

She saw thro what I told her and kind of mellow…. But how about my time they are taking? Madam take all your time, I’m less bothered about work. The only option I can give you again is if you have relative with car, tell them to meet us at the General hospital, my own is once we get there. I am leaving immediately. So they start doing deliberation between them. The man’s children abroad and co, while I watch. Eventually they choose to order another ride and the driver did not flinch on arrival, but took them to general hospital.

My reason for avoiding such after first consideration.
~ Doctor understood his reason for not admitting. Driver no choke head
~ if anything happen on our way eventually, I have become part of the family for the day. I go where they want to go.
~ The lady wasn’t even certain, as his health that’s start failing that morning

I have been on these shoes twice before this. Got to the hospital, they have to go take card and so, to get doctor wahala. Doctor admit, but no bed space. So I have to wait endlessly. Car got messed up inbetween. It is well!

Life humbled me… saw 3 old school Benz, I believed the papa own them. No one around to drive them, so cars get damaged.

I’ve been thinking a about the values of life since Saturday and what’s the best way to handle situation such as this. Should drivers really be attending to such situation as well.
