tojahh:I deh tell u... ![]() |
obinoral1179:You guys came on board when Tojahh don use head clear bush. Drivers have regard and respect unlike before. Barely any driver that will tell you he has not experienced what I post. Before self one is shy to let people know he does e-hailing because the stigma that was attached to it. I don't do offline and my neighbours know I am the wrong person to call needlessly for trip. Book a ride and go your way, I've learnt not to bring familiarity to my source of livelihood. You are in the period of riders begging you not to cancel trips and if you are coming. I doubt if you have ever slept for like 4 hours in search of trips. My brother those days weren't funny, sometimes you go back home feeling so dejected. |

northbird:9k+, trust me, a indrivercan get 7k for that. I have been thro all these before. Just got tired of being in heavy traffic with an irritating rider. Please off the radio or the ones that will make call for two hours as you will have to be listening to an unending convo. |
Glithronix:Nah so boss ![]() |
Pearl1910:There's really nothing to correct, like I said about understanding the game. The problem here is Rida and not Indrive. It get worst that we all scatter it for each other atimes. If I am bidding for a trip like 3500 with an initial price of 2700 and one stupid person come with best bid of 2500, trust me I am going to 2300. Let all of us don't have sense. I leave it there and switch to my Indrive. I once picked a trip from Iju Rd to unilag 2k and the rider called. My question to her was, and you will enter the car if I come to pick you? did you even know the cost of gas? Her response was like eeeehn why did you now pick the trip. To block stupid drivers from s*icide Assuming we only have Bolt and Indrive, trust me Bolt would have close shop. All those trips you are seeing on Rida are meant for Indrive. The moment you start seeing the last display trip on Indrive from 900m away a good trip is coming, riders will be the one beggin you with price. They do know how to add money when they are not seeing bid. |
MoonlightDrive:My problem with both is honestly not knowin what is coming. I understand the cancel and you cancel part. Seem like unnecessary drag for me |
northbird:I don't think Indrive reduce price, but drivers became more stupid. Like I once said Lekki guys are good at spoiling work on the mainland. That let me just pick any price and go back to base after picking sweet deal from island to mainland is one big disease. I am not saying that explicitly as some newbies may be the issue. On Tuesday I cancelled trips till I got tired. Berger to VI 5800, but what I am seeing on the map from oworo to bonny camp won't let me. On Thursday was a complete drag for me, unilag to Island was showing 1:15mins, unless you go thro Surulere for 47 mins and remember the map doesn't see the close road at apogbon. Now riders are putting 3k and if I bid, it will never return in my favour. Deep within how will I leave unilag for island and go thro Surulere, while unilag to Surulere is around 1.8 to 2k from unilag. It means I am going to island for Surulere for 1k or 1.2. Best I could do was go to Surulere for 2k, then pick VI for 3k there. All these kills time... rida is really dealing with Indrive, but I'll still blame drivers. On both app's and it is same ride with different prices you will be seeing. Pick the big price on one and pray you don't get cancel before getting to PU, as rider has seen a cheap price on the other app. Left to me those leaving in Magodo, unilag estate will suffer for 100 years before getting driver. They drag price then any other thing. I don't see why those living around Grammar school will be putting 2k or 2.5k to GRA and those living inside unilag estate will be dragging same. It can take driver 15 mins to get to that place from Berger and 20 mins to come out to Berger, that's 35 mins. That time is more than enough to have complete a trip from Omole phase 1. Drivers should learn the dynamics of this hustle, not just pick trip to feel we are moving. |
Police officer pointing to park. Me : Officer good day sir, nah uber Officer : tai! You uber? You too fresh for uber driver. Me : officer see my app ![]() Got short request within Lekki and drag it Rider : Is that Mr Tojah? Please I am not there, I just want you to help me get food at Foodies and bring to the location.

Rider call : Oga I forgot, I am dropping someone first at south, but it's not on the app Driver : but you are going to North, what do we do as it is not included in the price Rider : can't you drop her there? Don't worry I'll cancel. Before jack, cut phone and cancel ![]() 3 ladies book ride VI to Abule Oja. Enters and start silly talks how one dude is richy than the other and the roles of each in their lives. Few mins, "I never chop since morning, nah the indomee wey I eat last night deh my belly. Ah no get money, abeg later you go send the 900 wey we take come, make I use buy spag. One will raise alarm, wey the driver they follow. You where you go stop? Surulere, make e follow stadium.

Me : going with the map Rider : ha! Please enter thro surulere , drop her at stadium, then you will stop the two of us at Abule Oja, she will take keke. Me : long route. Riders : face each other, oga face wasn't inviting atall. Rider drag price for almost 30 mins, both of us compromise. Got to destination, rider make a call "I am at the gate, payment". Oga came out to make transfer. Me looking at rider, like only God will judge you. Surulere to GRA 2k and you kept dragging this price as if the man won't pay 3k. They go devalue your price too when una finish. Waka ![]() After waiting under the sun for long. Request banged, we rush it and victory at least. Me : quickly call rider this time to show some sense of responsible driver. Rider : I booked for a friend, wait! Let me give her your number Me : OK! Waiting for call... After few minutes Rider call : she say she's not ready. I have to cancel Moral down, werey don hear real price ![]() Rider : I just booked your ride, where are you? Driver : chevron Rider : come to Agungi, call me when you get to the gate Nah the gate we still deh like this, rider is not picking her calls. ![]() On a trip. Rider : please I need to get food at Chicken Republic Driver : OK Here we are at Chicken Republic Rider : please can you get the food for me? See what I'm wearing is short Me : I'm not meant to leave my car for any reason. Inside my mind, you mirror break for house ![]() Some riders will go get the food, while some we get angry and say don't worry, let's go. Strong face all through the trip. Your problem but one shock me, still went in and get coke and meat pie for me. Don't ask me if I wack em. Driver : Good day sir, ma? I am at your office now, please come and get your cake. Package owner : enter the reception ask for kike Me : Madam, my job is to bring your stuff to you and not be stepping out of my car, if you are sending someone or not to come get it, let me know. Package owner : cut call Sender call : please oga be calm, I am arranging for someone to come and get it Me : me that I am not happy before, you went to be telling me to come up or come to your hotel room. Dispatch rider will take same amount only to show up the next day or go rest under tree at bonny camp ![]() And for the ones that will book and end up being 5/6 when you get to PU, only to tell you that's how we came or that's how we've been taking it. I go get una time one day. Diary of an e- hailing driver ![]() |
Barbiturate:Got 6500 out of the 8k. |
Barbiturate:Mine is like 8k in total... but 2 of the riders seem understanding and we can both work it out if it doesn't drop. They have sent receipt, while one still calls to know how far. |
stacyadams:As in 3 pending on palmpay. The thing they give me headache. |
samobaba4u: copied you... he really hold you for work boss. Next time you should disassociate yourself from things like these immediately. It is well. Hope there's head way so far |
ReadaDream:We have newbies |
Benarding12:Indrive can't block you for no reason and if they do or this is your first time? Write support. |
samobaba4u:1. You didn't write anything 30k in your post 2. Half information is never enough to pass rightful judgement. 3. All the back and forth, is he not in contact with people or would one just go to site and no one is there? 4. All the businesses he was trying to sort out, was it done over the phone? 5. You said pay for properties by 9am. How is that your business? No offensive gesture, we are all here to watch after each other and not to blindly defend each other. I believe before they can be a sense of self- indictment in one statement, then there most be more yet unsaid. And that is what lead to the incomplete and incomprehensible post. Did he buy drinks for you in between? And both of you get on like jolly fellows? No disrespect. I still believe you can trace him, both of you can't go through that back and forth without a link not bridging somehow. He should have use his ID at the motel/hotel/apartment. Find a way to coerce them and get his info. Go back to the properties and dig more. I don't want to believe he took you thro those stress only with the intention to scam you. He probably saw the naive side of you and damned you irrelevant. You didn't even say if she paid the lady or not. Looks like he paid for the place he passed the night and also paid yours or how did yours went. The story get plenty comma We all get scammed, no one is immune to such. This can man? Even if you see him, you may not be able to get your money from him. When you start hearing how much is the money that you won't let me rest ![]() |
samobaba4u:Your post is not comprehensive enough boss. From my understanding here, you got greedy on your own supply. Maybe I am wrong tho, but that is what I could understood here. With a stranger from Mowe to Island, took a turn to Arepo, then to room in only the maker knows where. Like who does that? Did you read the story of the guy that his body was found in Kute. I got trapped at Yaba on Sunday looking for Berger trip from 7 30pm. Had to blow empty till I got to CMD before I could get one around 9 30pm. Come and see interview over the phone ![]() In between sorry for the experience boss. It is well |
You they on rida, still deh tell rider make una run em offline. I'm speechless |
obinoral1179: ![]() |
obinoral1179:Lol as I reach house, I park, the trip no worth em atall. I just deh look the girl form for back as madam, they laff. As I drop her, I know she go deh aspect me to reverse I was just going straight, I guess she will understand like that. |
Welz:Regardless of one knowing his riders, we still have to be patient with these people. From far I naturally don't have smiley face till we talk and you understand I am such an easy person. I have been having funny crazy riders for the past 2 weeks, maybe it is because I don't really stress on the hustle these days. 1. She booked a ride and on getting to PU, she remember sometin. One thing I like about Indrive rating? Pay attention to riders rating, that sh*t don't lie. I look at her rating and I saw 3.9 on a ride that is not up to 20, then I knew who I am dealing with. Took time for her to be out that I have registered 1 star for her in my mind. She came out and apologise. The normal me don't respond to such, so I didn't. Half way we get talky talky talky. Real talks that I learnt so many valuable lessons from her and she even request I save her number and free to call anytime. Extra 500 on her fare again.... that was how 1 star turned to 5 ![]() This same week I hit the back bumper on a blank spot while reversing. It was late around 8pm. Got this rider that just won't let me be and got me talking, laughing all thro the trip. Got to her destination and we were still chatting as she walks away, while I reverse. Gbam! My bumper don climb small stone and she stood laughing at me for not seeing the stone. I just face my front before she put me for wahala. Been long I had regrettable trip. |
TOPMAN4LIFE:Yep |
GeneralZodd:3 ladies infuriated the h*ll out of me last night. On my way home, I saw trip from secretariat mosque to street away from mine. Normally I don't do such trip, but yesterday was kind of drag for me, so I decide to run a trip of at least 2500 for 2k after like 5 attempts of price drag. Got to PU, rider won't come out, keep begging "I'm coming". She came out and still have to wait for her friends. Immediately I knew it was all these contribution trip. I keep my cool because I can tell these people will have preferred route, but it have to be my way. 2 ladies joined her to make it 3. They ask me to take Lateef Jakande road with full blown traffic, while Berger is absolutely free. It won't work, I'm using Berger and no option of cancel, as I have already step on gas. One have to alight half way. It took them to start agreeing what each will pay when we get to Berger, because another need to alight. The whole process was just getting me upset inside. I belive there are better things to invest money on, then the nonsense riders feed drivers atimes. |
lilkech:I can't use 4 million to buy car on uber |
Pearl1910:Boss make we try to dey motivate ourselves. |
SeyiJay:Impossible is nothing and to every journey is just a step to the end. Our inner voice should preside over any form of discouragement. |
Masterkleenlaun:
|
Barbiturate:2.5k for gas 2.5k for feeding. 20k straight into the bank with good sleep. |
ReadaDream:I deh Yaba, looking for a trip home. |
Juwonmania:Tojahh can this violence fly?
|
ReadaDream:I'm in island now, I'll pick 500 naira back to mainland. Nobody should beg me.
|
ReadaDream:Walahi! The price drivers are picking... I can't even comprehend how they do it
