Braaaaah!

Say it isn’t so!

That is daylight robbery men, how can they tow a vehicle in trouble, not as if they are towing to your mechanic for you, but they are towing you as an offender.

Gosh, everyday, I hate Nigeria more.

What were you supposed to do? Like ensure that your car never ever ever breaks down while driving? Who can guarantee that? Not even Elon can guarantee that as some Tesla’s have broken down while driving.

Chai...sorry man

No nau. It's you guys that have been shifting the post since.
First y'all said it was impossible, then it's not sustainable, then your body and car will break down. Now you've separated cheerfulgiver. At least you've accepted his own.

My position ESPECIALLY regarding posting dashboard has always been, don't legislate for anyone what they can and can't post. It's obviously viewed differently by different people.
Secondly, I have an issue with rent being 25k AND drivers still telling stories
Thirdly, be balanced in your narrative. If you have bad days you must also have good days, say it.
Then allow the reader weigh the pros and cons as per his own unique situation and then decide.

Now if someone comes here and sees cheerfulgiver's 200k a week and based off of that ALONE he thinks the job is easy and without its cons what do you think of that person. He's either a fool or a thief.

U better not get yourself into big wahala with a stun gun. Even a pen knive sef is money if police see it on u or your car.
Someone slept in cell and parted with over 200k because police found a cake knife that fell out into this car when he made a cake delivery.
If na gun, fake or real, they go just tag d person armed rubber, family will be billed 1m for d person's release.
One popular movie director sef was arrested like that even when police saw all d cameras, gadgets and crew and that it was obvious they used it for acting a movie. For where...them no gree o. Na station they settle d matter with 300k

I swear, their wahala too much.
That's my prayer everyday cos being on the road 24, u can never be perfect, u must make mistake one day, but my prayer na make them no see me.

"No enforcement eyes will see me" my God understands that prayer point.

I really don't know why we really make things hard for ourselves in this country

One day I was driving along Lasu Iba road.

Just after Iba junction, there was a police checkpoint. Immediately after the police checkpoint were Road Safety officers. Immediately after them were VIO officers

Ahn Ahn... Within a distance of 1m, three group of unarmed thieves were milking road users.

If you see that spot that day, it reminded me of how Toll gates used to be rowdy and filled with cars and people here and there.

I am not religious, but to be honest, I pray every single time I sit in the car to drive.

Wahala no dey end as long as these people dey

FuckEveryday:
Omo... Suddenly my AC no dey cool for afternoon as usual

In the morning and night it's cool Wen idle...But Wen on the move by these hours it's the usual mortuary standard cooling.

But afternoon it's almost useless.. What could be the cause abeg

It does boss, everything in life is product of age. Some times a good sleep, a good environment and purify water are just the best medicine. Take a good look at the Afghanistan's top decision makers and look at the Taliban, you will understand the true meaning of peace of mind.

What a day! I picked someone from passport office Ikoyi to ijaiye(Oko oba estate precisely) and the trip came to 2500. Was so angry at the price, so I decided to go back to Yaba and I choosed yaba area trip destination. As I was going, I drove through the bridge and immediately I came down, I didn't notice I had entered a brt Lane. They stopped me and took me to their office at lamata ketu. They said it's either I pay 70k or face mobile court at Oshodi. I decided to face court, then they gave me a paper. It was already 4:30pm, so I said I'll go tomorrow. My car is parked in their compound. .

What a frustrating day! And to think that I was happy for making 20k yesterday, minus fuel.

This Lagos life is just frustrating I swear!

XGhost:


In addition, as you're driving be very very observant, if there's a local government or lcda secretariat close by, be extra careful about where u stop. If you notice tow trucks around, be very careful where you stop. If you notice uniforms or local govt reflective vest/polo-wearing touts around the area... You know the drill.
If you're entering a street, check for one way signs, if there's none, take note of the direction most cars are facing whether moving or parked cars. Don't be afraid to tell your rider you can't stop or pass a certain place.
You'll be fine

Exactly

I remember a common trick we apply here.

When you are not familiar with a particular terrain, just tell your rider that it's your first day of doing Uber driving.

Watch them guide you like a baby that can't walk well

Pearl1910:


Na waooo. Sorry for your experience Brov... but u only agree to go to court when u know u didn't do anything wrong. If they have evidence of u driving inside BRT lane, then this may not be a good choice. U for beg them and negotiate the fine Let's pray u find favour before the Magistrates.

He will find favour in Jesus name

I really feel for the guy already

They are the one testing the new uberGo, they are only working within Ikoyi, Maroko (I guess VI and Oniru) and Lekki Phase 1. They won’t get trips outside that radius. Hope you understand now.

Conner44:


No oh. I think they saw me. They just wanted to first position their towing truck wella first before coming to talk to me. They saw fresh and unaware bushmeat and didn’t want to spook me until I was cornered.

And their plan worked. As in ehn by the time I stood up from under the car to see what’s going on one of them had already entered the car and gabbed the keys.

All in place

northbird:
Third Mainland Bridge. Inward Island

Pitfalls during rush hour 6.30am-11.30am.

Offence. Shunting of lanes.

1. Adeniji Adele exit.
TMB typically has 4 lanes. As you approach Adeniji Adele, avoid the last lane rightward. Cars most times won't allow you to get back into the 2nd and 3rd lane. Before you know it, you are already at the Adeniji Adele exit intersection, the lastma guys lurk around harmlessly, once you get there, they pounce on you.

Action plan: maintain 2nd and 3rd lane after adekunle.

2. a. Carter Bridge,
b. Osborne/ikoyi,
c. Tafawa Balewa square exit.

You will always spot a lastma guy with their rod of perdition carefully hidden in plain sight at Carter and Osborne. If there's mad traffic, At TBS exit on TMB, they park their van at the intersection and wait for whoever is going to shunt the line from the 2nd lane.

Action plan:
During rush hours, the 3rd and 4th lane are your safest points.preferably the 4th lane. Don't be ABSENT Minded especially during morning rush hours when entering these points.

Let's keep the flame burning.

Pearl1910:


Baba, if there was no surge, then ur money is complete

Ride is 1800
Rider paid 1600
Bolt will add u balance of 200

You are welcome

izzou:




Your mind is being sharpened with these experiences.

I thank God you escaped.

Never ever park on the road for anything. Even if your rider says he's on the road, look for a safe place to park. Always have that in mind.

Also, always central lock your car. Get used to it. Somebody comes down, lock. Someone enters, lock. Always lock, lock, lock

Lastly, learn to use your side mirrors all the time. Be vigilant. Always look out for any danfo or korope lurking behind when you want to park.

Above all, pray to your God not to let these people see you. Their wahala too much

eyinola:
who say a video on Instagram today? A lastma guy fell off a moving truck

Felicity001:


Baba yes o... No be everybody body sabi forget incident like you and I oh... E.g
Somebody can walkout of an accident car unhurt whereas the person sitting next to h/h had just died the next day or two that same person is on his way to a long journey by road. Another person can have such experience and will never travel again on a car for the rest of his life.

Look at R. Kelly he now uses ship to travel just because his gf Aliyah died in a plan crash.

So not everybody is d-same.

Oleez:


Is this still available? How much?

This issue no need prolonged arguments, you want to drive all day and make 40K to 50K. It is possible just know that your body and your car go suffer am.

The only reason that i will drive from 5am to 11:30pm everyday na if i collect the car on rental and i get target to drive like 6 months straight and drop the vehicle.

Car wey i buy for personal use, i can’t try such with it. Forget say you dey make money, after 2 yrs na you go wonder say shey my car be this?

I started this bizness full time with 07 camry CE in 2016 when uber dey pay well, joined bolt 2017. I work like mad fast forward to 2019 the camry just say oto geh.

Sold camry add some money buy toks corolla 07, since then i don make up my mind. Offline trip majorly and some metered trips cos na you go suffer your loss alone after you don drive all around lagos.

Some of my guys wey dey chill around hotels for ajao estate, they will say they can’t do e hailing cos to them na shit. One trip in a day they fit see 50K if hotel guest wan commot, the other day fit dry but at least they know say dia car dey parked and resting.

Las las all man for himself, whatever decision you make na you go enjoy the outcome. This group na to share experience not to shut anybody down or look down on each other.

Please wey angryigboman? i miss that guy analysis. E.g offline to Badagry 25Million naira lol
