YeyeGbami: Thursday still get me thinking... I got a request from Magodo to Modele street, Yaba. On getting to PU, rider I'm coming sounded so faint and as Sabinus I decide to eat the food in my car knowing fully well I am not the morning food type of person. He meet me half way while eating and I have to suspend the food. As we are going, around Ojota I start to notice this wobbling in my stomach, I try to see if I can gas out to create some balance, no way, stuff getting intense as I move. Rider asked if I can take him back? I quickly do the maths and opportunity of doing 5500 within 2 hrs. So I told him let's see as it goes since he only want to pick something. On getting to Modele street, the thing like a baby has already have it tip out, my kneels are shaking, like I am already sweating told him I don't think I can take you back as the tot of telling him to go I'll text my account number to him lingers. Rider refused to alight sighting he have to locate where he is going to first. So the person ask him to come to zenith bank, no zenith bank on Modele street, but FCmB. He said he saw a Zenith bank on Ojuelegba road, maybe that is the bank... I careless what was happening, I just drove him down to the place, quickly jump down from the car, trying to run into the bank, but no parking space the tot of leaving my car on the road crossed my mind, but I saw the yellow line and I'm like you can't sought one to enter another. The guy was still busy going up and down. I told him, Oga sought me let me go biko, he refused. So I talked to the person he is looking for, only to find out it was Zenith bank Tejuosho Rd. I got angry and didn't exchange words with him again, just told him to get into the car, let me quickly drop him and proceed to my unfinished business. I told him to make transfer as we go, he refused sighting he must get to destination. That pissed me off as I told him today seem to be lucky day for him, if not for emergency and nature call, I won't move an inch from the destination on the app and I'll get my money. We got there, he did transfer without prove and try to alight. Told him he have to wait, he unlocked the car manually and alight. I chase after him and we begin to trade words. Security men approach and a little drama was about to start. I refresh my app again and saw the alert. Tho, people were saying I did the right thing, I should have even lock is cloth till I saw alert. Right within, I felt so embarrassed, like I felt I've gotten to a point I don't want to go physical on anyone and maybe I should have been a bit calm. So these tots cross my mind. What do one do to riders that alight from car with the "I have done it" no prove and before you know they are already a step into their compound? Should one go physical with a rider at any point regardless who is right or wrong? Now I can understand why some drivers door handles don't function, unless they open the door for u. |
davit:That wasn't my hand writing boss ![]() |
Glithronix:No worry, one day you will be thinking what did I do? Where did I go wrong? That's how far Bolt fingers their drivers head. On Indriver, you can easily spot the rider that gave you a star. |
obinoral1179:I have a guy at cleg that fixes my AC, he doesn't sell compressor, but will obviously get a good one for you. Pathetic to say I don't have his number, because he is always available and easy to get when the need arise. |
Otunbalai:Check your fan, even if the fan is working, it maybe working in the wrong manner. |
On Wednesday, after rounding up on the island, got a trip to Gbagada around 4 30pm. Sweet trip, light traffic. Got to Gbagada and saw another ride. Swiftly I picked it as it was towards Ikeja, rush down to PU. As I park to analyse the trip, rider was stepping out of the gate. I found out the trip was around Zenith bank Alausa, my eyes popped as my head rang 1600 for hour plus trip around 5 sometin and I'm yet to get to MBA which may get all choked before I got there. Initially I tot what I saw when the request beeped was GRA not knowing it was Alausa. How to tell rider I can't go as she open the door becomes an issue. Gently slide gear stick to D while I try to ignite the car, but the car won't come up. Case closed The woman head was strong as I saw strain that night. Stayed put at Gbagada monitoring traffic situation. Only to saw on dangling trip for almost 40 mins to air Base around PWd for 2k. I check the map and saw 18 mins, gave her 2600, she accept. In my mind wow call rider and she goes sorry, I didn't know I accept it, please cancel it I only have 2k or will you pick me like that. I'm like sorry... how about Indriver commission, I am at the receiving end here. She goes with that soft voice as if she already knew Pope weakness but I try to pull the hard one and ask her to make it 2200. Beside 2000 is not bad for 18 minutes trip, which she agreed adding 200. The heavy rain caught me as I was about connecting to the express. Gosh! I had a low thinking rider that was on the phone talking about how broke she was and bored, so she went to her friends place to blow some smoke. The rain was something else, I couldn't see clearly, pisses and filled with regrets. Got to her place, she didn't have any money on her and was trying to strike conversation. I just wasn't having any of that as I am mindful of where I with the darkness that came with that night. Finally, she ask me to give her few minutes, went inside, only to return with 2k with plead, maybe if I can leave my account, she will send the balance in my mind, is this girl ok like this? I don't even know what to do, because right inside my mind I was already thinking, what if she didn't return, how do I locate her flat took the 2k and start another journey of finding my way home |
On Tuesday, I already have offline trip to the airport around 2pm. So I tot it fit to do Yaba, Island, make a turn and do Yaba, Ikeja, then go for my offline probably after grossing 10k. On getting to Yaba, I got a trip going to Olademije A. Off freedom way. Approaching Osborne ramp, sound goes off, one back tyre down. I managed to climb d bridge, pull over to see if I can do a quick change before the evil ones sight me. One bolt frustrate the h*ll out of me, so I decide to damage the tyre completely before they toll me for over staying. I was able to find a vulcanizer around Osborne traffic light. Rider that has been calm and understanding in that lonely hallow ramp quickly book a ride and ask me to send my account. His money was the last thing on my mind, what hurt me most was checking on him after I've been able to fix the car and he still ask me to send my account. I'm still waiting for the alert ![]() |
Dedynast:My hand no deh this matter ![]() |

As we roll into the weekend, it has been a bitter sweet trips week tho. First trip on monday morning, I was in a rush around Berger, time going towards after 6. A request to Surulere from Nerc road beeped for 2400, I tab on 2600. With top speed I blew to the area, only to find out it was Africa shrine. I make a turn and rider call and plead, no problem, I should show. The tot of when to get another trip before the Monday madness and Indriver removing their commission crossed my mind, so I obliged. Got there, a guy approached the car, drop a boom box speaker inside the car, while he open the front door. Told him they shold be quick I have to go before the whole place got blocked. He return it in weed voice, I should calm down, he is only trying to call his second. We were there for like 10 mins, dude was trying to sought his way out from crowded weedite before they allow him leave. I saw how punch is so easy to trade than words that morning. Any little exchange of words, one two one two will flow in the air someone's son. I gently maintain my peace before they will serve me one two breakfast, while all I'm craving for was hot tea and bread dude eventually hopped into the car, but they won't let us go, they cover the car like a celeb trying to find his way, he kept dashing out money as he ask me to speed off, but I am scared those boys were hitting on my glasses. Gosh! What have I gotten myself into this morning, somehow... I zoomed off. We start talking, Egbon! Those guys will kill me, all the money in my pocket, is it a crime to have some money, he kept talking... it wasn't easy on me, I swear, alcohol odour plus not brushing is the worst recipe anyone should inhale like that we got to Maryland, only to realise these peeps are going to Mushin road and were already strategising how to handle the Mushin touts. In my mind, Pope! You enter this one live, so it ingrained in me the guys told me to avoid police and traffic. As I check the map and saw clear cut to Mushin road from Ilupeju and traffic from Onipanu to Yaba. I didn't think it twice before blowing full speed into the traffic. My guys couldn't wait, as we got to Fadeyi, they drop 3k and seek using bike as alternative. Thank God, that was how I escape the trapp I got myself into ![]() |
Pearl1910:Pearl1910 dot com... how u won make e take drive car if e remove steering? But on a serious note before e reach the last option, e go don solve the matter.

OJURONGBE1:From my ignorant point of view. I don't think they get request on the mainland. So for the drivers living on mainland, that have to go home at night and find their way to mainland? You know d answer boss ![]() So find a driver and strike a deal with him. Inbtw, I learnt peeps are dropping dia cars for the suzuki and somewhat they have a way of pulling offline trips. |
Otunbalai:Open your bonnet, remove the radiator cover. Start the car while you have your eyes gazed towards the rediator. If the content from the radiator gush out like fountain of spring, then your gasket is long flat and gone. Make such the content in your radiator is filled before trying. And if it passes that and no leakage, change the cover of your radiator. If same happen, change your water pump and if that did not work, change your four tyres. |
Pearl1910:Are you for real

MadamVanessa:Love? Yes! Respect and regard? No... when you have respect and regard for people, you wont hurt them. It's not that he was forced to do anything, he intentionally did what he did, because that's what he want regardless. |

Blackbishop:You are singlar out of plural ![]() |
samobaba4u:What is obtainable is different from standard remember it was once 50k. Same thing goes for football and music, they will use monkey to lure you and if you accept by signing such deal, then it's on you. If there's one thing I have learnt about us, we are not good at honouring contract. With time people will start calling and begging for review like we didn't enter into the contract with clear eyes. Same thing Mikel did with Chelsea. |
Pearl1910:If he has budget to spend 200k from what I've read up here and should be able to sell his old engine for around 40/30k. That is like 240k on assumption. How much is borale? Let start from that if fixing engine may last 6 months... it's a waste of effort spending close to 200k to wake to same issue 6 months from now. 6 months from now is peak period and having car issues is not the best in anyone interest. |

. I will only go to Ekoro if it's a long distance trip, I'd rather stay put. That place na dead zone... You will never get any reasonable trip except by luck.
