So today midnight(12:30am) I had my own too good to be true Uber story grin. Last trip of the day, from Landmark to Lugard Ave Ikoyi, ended the trip and it was 1300, the rider had just 1k cash and asked for us to look for cash point close by, told him he’d have to pay me extra as I don already end trip, dude was like “no problem, I’d pay you double or whatever “.

After hitting two ATMs with no luck, Baba just vex say I have some foreign currency, brought out 500 dirhams and kept it on my dash, happily dropped them back at the hotel. I’m resting today cheesy
I don't understanding, u r resting today? What happen to resting for d week? Oh! I forgot, u r not part of the LDG cheesy

It's one of the tactics they use to cheat drivers on indriver. Another common one is entering a major road without number as destination. Most times map will automatically pick the beginning of the road as destination meanwhile rider is still going 2 miles further down on the same road

U will embark on another unpaid trip inside a trip cheesy unilag main gate number 2, u will end up at senate house grin I hate anything estate wit that their stupid waiting for code of a thing.

Even the surge money no sure again, Bolt don cut am into pieces with discount. Once every where red, I sharply put on Indriver and take advantage of the pricing. If I do 3 - 5 good trips, 15k raw cash don enter my pocket. I don belefu, nah house straight. I can't be driving my expensive car for a very long hours and be collecting peanuts. That car will die untimely, with current inflation in the country spare parts prices can wreck someones bank accant

Imagine what this one will say if it was 1.9x trip on bolt.
Indriver has tot me how to act like a tout. My last trip today, 2 ladies, deh input wrong pick up and destination, tho dia destination is ard country club, while deh put Isaac John. Approach isaac John, they start to bring that funny attitude if the address is right, I didn't even do like I can hear them, since they r not talking to me. I jejely pack the bus at the d destination they input.

Rider: Oga this is not where I am going to nah
Me: where did u put on the app?
Rider: ehn! But we have not getting to where we r going too nah

I crack smile, told them I don't have energy for this long talk, if they r on bolt or uber they r very free to b doing all this, took me almost 30mins to pick up because of wrong input, now destination too is wrong. They flip, if u want us to add more money, that is what u should have said nah... nothing piss me off more than those words. Told them straight I am not begging for money, u have reached the destination I have here, if u need another ride, please book. Case closed

Pls how do you, use style to tell a guy that you just picked his babe from another guys house.

I picked this fresh buttyish looking girl with lil accent from an estate in Land bridge and a tall guy accompanied her out but didn’t get to the car. She came in looking tired but soft voice and very cool. She’s been very cool even on phone. Looks so decent damn (e dey pepper me)

Long story short immediately she got into the car she called someone and started apologizing “ I know you angry with me, I’m sorry my phone was on silent . I’m already on my way in Uber I’m so sorry.”

Got to TPPD estate on lekki conservation and she told me to pls wait she wants to change and I will take them to ologolo hmmm.
Gbam she came down with a fresh guy like yankee freshness. Na so then dey do love birds inside car , she put her head on his laps touching and all. I was trying to cut eye for the guy dt nooooo na lie but guy man no send me. I waited maybe they will kiss so I can shout and say that was how you kissed the other guy but the girl was looking at me smiling like why you dey stare.

Finally I realized they were going to house agent but of them wan move could they be thinking of marriage? So I stopped cutting the guy eye as d mumu guy no even send me.

Well I’m doing my bit here, incase the guy is on this thread, who knows but I don’t understand the way girl switch or fake emotions.

This hustle is already messing my mindset about ladies. Chaiii... wahala for who never marry

Pension is a scam.

Pension never takes into account inflation. Pensioners today that we know and see are paid a stipend monthly. From a pension scheme that invests their hard earned money and pay them monthly peanuts like they're doing them a favour.

Many pensioners have been receiving 20k monthly for the past 10 years. If they had taken their life into their hand, they would have invested their own savings in businesses, real estate, etc that they control themselves. Trust me, people like me will never get a 20k monthly pension in this life, or the next.

Slavery na choice. What I post isn't for everyone.
Pension is not scam, as much as I feel most of this insurance policies r needless, but that old age and housing pension is kind of necessary due to the political instability will have in this country. The basic thing is perception, u as a soul must do what work for u, not everyone can handle business, just as not everyone can sit in the office. The basic thing is plan your retirement well... all my life I've been a risk taker, even when bitcon was dipping, I wasn't even bothered cos I've lost way beyond that. What am I trying to say in essence, in this journey of life, I learnt to appreciate the little things, you will never know the value of eggs in different basket, till u lost all ur eggs in one basket cos u want to take big shot at once. Lost ur millions in bid to gain billion, trust u will appreciate thousand. Honestly the saving grace some old men have today is d pension, that's why u see them queue and fight all they could to have it. Imagine if those things weren't there? They would have lavish it, just as the lavish their salaries and there's always a saying that if one can't manage little, such still won't b able to manage much. 3.6m is a big figure, but in reality chop suya, drink 2 bottles of odeku, money don deh dip be that cheesy I always tell myself if pension is my last hope of survival, then I failed woefully.

Part 3

Patiently I was searching for Island trip, gbam! Something harbour flash, I didn't even bother to check well, thought it was the habour around Wilmot Point, even till I got to PU and pick d rider, my mind was still flashing VI, until she asked, if I know Apapa very well. I gave the app a second look and saw Habour Rd NNS, hmm! Dice map and saw 43 mins, smh on 3600. Well! One thing must kee a man, we move. The man she was supposed to meet kept calling, raking for her, me I don't even know the NNS is related to Navy until I got to the Harbour Rd, that's how this man change em for me, ask the girl not to pay and we should come inside d base. Unfortunately he was waiting by the gate, when I drove passed the main entrance to another gate, he called and asked if we are the one that just pass? The girl say yes, he ask us to turn back and I told him I am following the map abi? I will see sometin today. Got to the gate, the girl was scared to pay, she have to follow his instruction. Me: thinking will I leave my money or dare the devil. I entered d Naval yard, oga say make I come down "u r wasting time so that ur money will increase abi, that's how u ppl do". Me I was still cracking a smile like is not that serious. He goes again "you they laff inside military base abi, u go know where u deh now" call boys, I begin speak for Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa grin he said I'll have to run round their parade ground. I am already getting set to do my time, when one of them sight me, ask me to come, I told him what happened and he was angry and request for the man to come, right inside of me, I was like oga! Abeg no add fire for this matter, cos I don't know who senior who. Before I knew they pay me my money plus 200 on it. What happened to the man, I didn't wait, if not for car, I'm sure my leg will b hitting my head. I'll never carry anything military again, those guys sick. Thanks to Bro Nnamdi Ewenighi, never knew Agu Neche Mba can calm nerve like it did today.

PART 2 & 3 of my story grin

2. I spent the better part of yesterday to fix car (nothing major), I didn't go online till 3pm, so I end up staying out till late in the night. On my way home from the island around 10:30pm, I got a request from Tejuosho Rd to Omole phase 1 for 2k. The fare was kind of poor, but the road is free and I have 2 coconut head dragging same trip with me, so I jumped on it on d second roll (either way I'll have to blow empty to Ogba). We got to destination, rider gave me 2500, cos I told her what she input is omole gate and that's where I ought to drop her, next time she should put the right address, so the money will b accurate with distance covered. Few miles away, I received a call from rider, oga! Please come back, I need to buy something from the super market, please I'll pay you, my ear on hearing I'll pay u, opened wide like those antennas that uses remote control, that was how I put my car for reverse. She hopped into the car, oga! Abeg I just won buy Craig David and drinks, d host hand over 3k to her and ask her to get drink and Craig David. As we r about to exit the street, d host left a msg on the girl phone asking her not to bother coming back, his wife is around (guy man don use me discharge the girl cheesy). Time is fast shooting up and she don't know what to do, oga! U fit carry me go back? To where? Where u carry me from nah cheesy me: u no know say curfew dey? Make police catch me, collect all the money I make since morning. We were in the girl car for 20 mins beating ard what to do as drivers wont pick her request, she refused to alight, I felt for her, but the situation was so hopeless and made me think thro what this girls go thro in d line of their hustle, I've seen cases like this where the guy won't turn up and the lday will have to eat dia humble pie (maybe one day we all will share our experience on this and how will handled it). Las Las I help her find baba iyabo and didn't wait for them to agree on price, b4 I pick race, I felt bad somehow for doing that, but I check on her later in the middle of the night to see if she's home.

I want out, my eyes don see since yesterday shocked

1. Got a trip from adeniyi Jones to Oniru 3800. I check the map and it's 40 mins around 5, my mind say make I run em. That is how I embark on it... the guy was practically calling everyone on his contact list as I was blowing full speed about how he doesn't have money and need to sought himself for the night, as well pay the cab man. In my mind, I sha know this matter will end somewhere. Got to oniru, he went to meet his friend, that one gave him money, how much? I don't know. He hopped into the car back and plead I use one of the road he need to get something. On getting dia, I don't know d kind of expensive sh*t this guy got for 10k, b4 I know someone don light something that looks like all this old man pot stick and start doing like Tony Montana. Bros how far my money I asked? He gave me 3k and try to alight, I quickly tell him, my money remain 800 naira. Ha! He exclaimed, I no get money again nah all the money I collect now don finish (acting like someone that's dozing off). Silent for like a minute, and he said oga! Text me ur account I go send em later, me: I can not b calling u cos of that. Las Las we settle for him to use the 800 naira to send card, we tried from 800 to 400 before his account can beat the insufficient fund. What's left? No point dragging 400h with him again, I let go. Deep within I was just thinking how wasted this generation were... 10k on drug and to cap it all, he have to beg to stay high lipsrsealed

When people say that agreement is agreement, the image below comes to my mind.
Why will you rent a car, rough handle it and bring to the owner to fix?

The fact that car owners take responsibility in fixing the car, simply means that how much you make using that said car should concern them. No one should compare this with house rent and Landlords.

The more hrs you spend online making more money, the more likely it is for the car to brake down. And the owner takes responsibility of repairing it from the fixed rental amount while you're smiling with more money in your account.

My own advice to car owners is to find a way to make drivers solely responsible for repairs. Even if it means collecting only 20k/week rental. And before the driver drops the car, he must fix and repaint the car back to the condition it was when he rented it.
That your last submission is everything, told my driver when I used to have one in our agreement that before he dropped the car, a mechanic most certify it is OK. He dropped car with tricks by saying he want to travel, I use police to go after him the next day, nah beg dem beg make I drop the case when he find himself behind bar. Oga dru don't understand when I say partners r at the mercy of drivers, when it's time for litigation and most of this agreements flying up and down are not lawfully stamped, u don't have C.A.C, then and only then you will understand how frustrating the court process in this country can be. Bolt of you will just b dashing ego filled lawyer that feel he knows everything money.

Let me be honest here based on my experience on this hustle.

I got my Corolla back then on higher purchase just 2 years ago. Have finished paying for the car though.

I’m responsible for 100% repairs and during my 2years contract, I had accident ooh cry because I used to work like Jacky I mean i used to sleep on the island sometimes and I used to see heavy earnings 181k sometimes but not reflecting on the account nevertheless I don’t owe my partner.

Problem start arising during the times of repairing I’ll hustle for a month straight and spent almost 100k to fix car. Bushing leakage hub brake pad changing oil and so on just name it. cry

Suddenly I realized that I’m just paying bills which I’m grateful to god and paying my partner too but Mechanic is getting richer off me. To the extent that I drove my car to mechanic and the mechanic condemned the engine that was how I ended up driving for Moove to gather money buy engine (a story I shared here).

Fortunately for me, I had occasion in Ibadan and one of my friend apprentice drove my car to hit another vehicle just my bumper got scratched but I don’t know that grace of God just found me that day.

Am sorry for my story to be too long but kindly read digest and learn a lesson from it.

Getting to panel beater, (anybody that has been to Ibadan mechanic yard will understand how big it used to be. You’ll find everything you need panel, Rewire, mechanic etc.) naso mechanic approach me say my brake pad is low I say how much him talk say 2k or 1500 I said go and bring it he showed me I told him to change it gave him 5h and he appreciated.

I called mechanic aside and started asking him prices of part Corola part oh. I got shocked shocked brake disc tokumbo 6k for both side . Engine seats 4K each labor is so cheap. Let me stop here before Lagos spare part dealer come for my head.

I started fixing my vehicle in Ibadan afterward or buy part and told them to send it for me which I’ll use 1,500 collect and pay Lagos mechanic max 3k for labor.

Below is what I notice that’s eating our earnings most

1. Mechanic is the major problem here
2. Expensive part dealers
3. Fake part dealers
4. Driver saving culture
5. Still mechanic
6. Type of vehicle you’re using.

You can add yours….

My revelations so far, I’m working on goal to get second vehicle to give person to drive for me.

Who say you can’t build house with Uber money? Tell that person say he or she is stupid. Although not that house in banana island oh but eh get reason why I Dey go Ibadan every 2 months for inspection.

Below is what I’ve saved in this July alone and I shared some screenshots TOO.

Here’s my target a day I jet out
1. I must save 5k aside drop 1k in kolo and whatever remain will still go into savings

2. If I don’t eat at home before leaving or carry food along, i would branch chicken republic buy 2 refuel mill just 1250 naira. Or any nice restaurant but I don’t do this everyday.

3. I set my target and goals on daily basis

Kindly see my post and screenshot as motivation not for lazy I’ve got stories to tell when I finally achieve my goals grin grin grin grin

Saving app 154k
Cash on hand 70k with 5k each
I lost counting of kolo money cos it’s more than six months have been saving on it. Till December before I could get how much I’m saving.
I don’t need to share my account balance make nobody come for my head.
And that was my monthly earnings

I rest here wink
Ur money can't move me, ur money and my money no mate. My money and ur money no deh d same rate.
