Only God know how you meet all this ridiculous riders.
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.

Uber is a no for me right now, I can't imagine getting into the berger gridlock without getting a heads up initially.

Took a trip from v.i to magodo yesterday on Bolt, took us 3 hrs to destination. Trip ended 9k+.. I know there's no way any Indrive rider can quote that initially. It was a very tiring drive, the traffic n all.
It's suicide to plunge into that berger gridlock without adequate compensation,
I sensed today's traffic was going to be hellish. I was already at home by 2pm.
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.

Transient and ephemeral monetary gratification made many of u guys to rush to Indrive and give Riders illegal advantage.
Then I also blame Bolt for blocking drivers, if not u will not see the crowd of desperate Drivers Indrive and Rida are enjoying.
Left for me, Indrive will be better than Bolt in terms of pricing. I see it as offline and I can never price offline cheaper than online trips. Thats why I have very very few offline clients. But many short sighted drivers spoilt that channel when they start comparing 25% and 10% and picking anyhow trips.
But the biggest blame goes to drivers who used to drive on Bolt, still have their bolt account but go and use Indrive and be giving nonsense prices, then now that that side has crashed they now turn around and come back to Bolt. Same people shouting Bolt is dead. If Bolt was dead where them for go now? I wish Bolt was a person.
U guys have bent ur two hands, I wonder how u intend to correct this calamity.
God no go shame us, may we continue to flourish and excel in our endeavours and no matter how forest dry, make lion still see antelope catch.
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? grin 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 grin 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.

Since Indrive has reduced fares, I use more of Bolt now, it's a hard choice, but it's better to pay 25% of a just fare than to pay 10% of a slave fare.

How do you go from ogba to v.i for 3k in the morning? huh... Honestly I'm lost with the way Indrive run things recently.
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 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 grin

Driver : OK

Rider : please can you get the food for me? See what I'm wearing is short
Me : grin I'm not meant to leave my car for any reason. Inside my mind, you mirror break for house grin
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 grin 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 : grin 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 grin

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.

I Took him to some Agents in Arepo. Those agents took us around to see some properties cos he said her sister is coming from abroad and asked him to get some properties for her. The agents treat him nicely because of the money involved. The lawyer prepared documents for the property (3 buildings) worth of 200M. He forwarded the soft copy to him and copied me. One of the owner of the properties is in abroad and the Estate management put a call tru cos he requested he would like to talk to the owner for him to be sure about the authenticity of the properties. My brother. My brother, this man is being on this for long cos the way he operates u won't believe he's into such. During all this time he continue making calls negotiating with other people with his phone on speaker. He even called his wife and talked to his wife that he would soon finish with the deal and join them on Wednesday morning once payment is effected by the account officer and he collected necessary documents. My brother, the story plenty. When I told all the agents involved he's a scammer they did not still believe me until one of them was called by the short-let manager to come and pay the bills the man incurred cos he's the one that took us there. I was trying to ask the manager on Tuesday If she got alert of the money the man said he sent to her but that one think I was asking too much and decided not to answer me. Make I just stop there.

Bro, I don't think 30k per day is too much to charge on offline within arepo. And if you called that greedy then no problem.
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 grin

[b]SCAMMER! SCAMMER!! SCAMMER!!!

HELP FISH HIM OUT BEFORE HE SCAM ANOTHER INNOCENT SOUL OUT THERE.

This man requested me from Mowe to Lekki. He was making so many calls on our way and his phone was on speaker when he made the calls. When we got to Law school, he said I should turn back to Arepo to inspect a property he was speaking with someone about as we were coming. So I turned and he said we should do that offline. On getting to Arepo, he inspected many properties and hired a Lawyer around to do the necessary documents cos he said he wanted to zeal everything before leaving that his sister (owner of the properties as he claimed) is coming from UK in a couple of days. He collected a account numbers of party involved and including my own and forwarded it to a number he saved on his phone as Account officer and put a call through that he should credit the accounts before 9am on Wednesday. This was Tuesday evening cos it was late before everything was shorted out. I managed to take his pix when my spirit was seriously disturbed and sent it to my relatives. On Tuesday evening, I put a call tru a police family friend in Dolphine Estate informing him I would be coming to his office with a suspect. My plan was park at the station along orsbond once the scammer failed to pay for the properties and my services b4 9am on Wednesday morning cos I know he may give some excuses. On Tuesday evening, he requested one of the agents to organize a babe for him and that one did. That night I locked all doors when he went inside with the babe and kept the keys in my room.

Reasons
1. I thought he may do something bad for the babe and ran away before morning
2. I thought he may be wounded by the babe and the babe may run away before morning
So I wanted to know we are all safe before anybody open the door in the morning.
In the morning, he knock on my door to come and open door and I saw him wearing only boxers and his polo. I asked if the lady was ready to go and he said NO that they just wanted to do Road walk. After like 3mins I checked roud the Estate and could sight them so I ran inside, picked my key and drove towards the exit gate. Unfortunately it was only the lady I saw coming back. When I asked her she said the guy said he quickly want to see a business partner waiting for him in kára. I shouted, the man has escaped. The lady was telling me to calm down that it's not possible. I just told her to quickly go and pick anything he has in the room cos I suspected he never pay. I was asking the lady in charge of the apartment if she had seen alert previous day but maybe she thought it's non of my business that's why she didn't answer me. By the time I tried to call him, he already blocked my number. This is how I was welcome back to business after a short break.

His NO: 08071131690

Please safe some of our innocent colleagues out there from falling to his trap.
I am just imagining if I am on rental or HP and this happened. How would I coop?

If you sight him or pick him as rider you can call 09061430247.

Thanks

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 grin

these past few weeks has been difficult to keep your cool as a driver, riders are really out to frustrate with the chicken change they pay
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 grin

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.

Stupidity ! Waste of money
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.
