Can't wait for Uber to delete the rating app and an e-hailing company that only connects passenger to drivers and they both negotiate the fares before they start the trip and the company gets a flat fee every month.
Most of these riders on uber cannot even afford the yellow and black taxi but would be forming big person that a/c is not working like they gave birth to them with air condition. If they are really pressed on a/c they should go buy their own cars and maintain it not complaining about other people's cars and giving low ratings.
They should be thankful they are paying that low for riding in a good car.

What is d use of rating, if I cannot use it based on d service I get?

Mind u, yellow n black taxi r still on d road, I cld easily ride wt one n it cld be cheaper but I chose uber. I'm sure u know d reason!

Do d right thing as a driver n don't blame anyone if u get blocked.

True, but the time, the cost and the possibility of making an error using fake parts passed off as original makes buying a direct tokunbo more sensible

Abeg, what's up with Oga taxi. Do you get frequent requests?

Funny since I activated my taxify, I seem to be getting more request on taxify than uber which is kinda surprising to me.

I think general riders believe is that it's cheaper to use taxify than uber. Make dem hold onto that believe o. E dey sweet my belle.

This is wicked if you do so! You don’t need to spoil another man’s life even when you know the consequences of your action. The only thing I expect of you is advise him and move on. I take UBER most time and am always happy to rate 5atars with good comment cos that’s the only way to encourage them.
Though the purpose of the Uber rating system is to promote good driver behavior. Poorly rated drivers with dirty cars and bad attitudes are naturally flushed out of the system. But when I have a bad or even mediocre experience with a driver, I view the situation pragmatically by assessing the risk and reward by giving that driver a low rating but what good does it do me to give him a low rating? It will make him a little upset, I gain nothing.

ridwanadedapo:
Am not here to argue this but the rating system is very wrong! I am saying this cos I know better but sometimes people rate not cos of drivers attitude or conditions of the vehicle but rather rate based on their personal life and which is very bad. Any car can develop fault at any moment, and the driver might not know until a rider notified or he get to know himself and I don’t think a rider needs to judge him with that by rating him low.

Some drivers are devil, black ones!

And am not exaggerating.

I am really angry!

Earlier when I see people like dru23 saying things about drivers, I felt he was too harsh, had I known

I added a Toyota Corolla, I was unlucky, engine knocked before it even made one naira. Changed engine, changed evaporator, condenser and a host of other things.

Changed almost everything on the legs from shocks, brake to tires. Spent over 300k for these.

Where possible, I use oem or new parts, I buy them myself or order online.

That's not the story, this is the story

I gave this cha cha Corolla to an experienced driver referred by someone I happen to know. I checked his profile he had 4.6 as his ratings I was cool but there was one problem, he had no phone.

said he had some challenges, he had to sell his phone.

Because of the person that referred him, I asked him which phone and how much, he mentioned one infinix with 2g ram, the price was 38k, I transferred 40k to him.

Filled the car to half tank and handed over to him on a Wednesday.

Come Friday, he wasn't still paired with me on Uber, called him, he gave some cock and bull story of how he needs to go Uber office and do it, well for other cars it only took minutes, so I gave him 24hours to that. He did it in 18.

Come Tuesday, Uber didn't pay me, I've forgotten about him to be honest, since I used a different Uber profile/email address for him, I checked his profile, he was in debit of about 10k, he was owing Uber, I called him, he gave some stories, pleaded I give him till Thursday, let him pay one full week.

I agreed

Had I known

Thursday, called severally before I reached him, another story, his ac was bad he hasn't been working I was furious, did you call me?

Asked him to go meet my ac guy to fix it. I like doing ALL my repairs, for fear of substandard parts.

immediately, I logged on my GPS tracker, this guy was a bloody liar, he's been all over Lagos especially at night.

Gave a benefit of doubt even though my tracker says otherwise. Asked him for my money he said next Tuesday, I chilled, this point I was boiling but I needed to chillax, thanks to Heineken.

Tuesday, oga didn't pay, he didn't call, I didn't call

Wednesday same thing

Checked GPS he's been all over Lagos

Thursday morning by 10am, I stopped the car.

Went to the location, collected my car keys and phone.
Mechanic was already over the car thinking it was a mechanical fault, he didn't call me ooo.

Took the car back only to discover the following

1. Booth was permanently locked
2. ‎passenger door has been bashed, the glass is broken inside
3. ‎the car stinks like sh*t
4. ‎the new phone screen was broken


All in 2 weeks

I repaired the spoilt things and am looking for a driver, but this time like the yorubas say

Ojú ánu tí fọ!

He called me, I didn't pick cos if I swear 'for' him, it will be so bad that he would prefer his village people romance him than for my curse to kiss him.

Other drivers have even noticed a change self.

Why am I typing this long epistle

[b][/b]I just saw the same guy here asking for a car, on this thread, promising no stories. Yepa! Am angry!!!
The same guy, same phone no!

The thunder that will fire him ehn, is still using Yokozuna as dumbbell.

Dear partners, before you accept any driver please ask to call their former partners! Simple
if they say no, da wọn nù bí omi ishanwọ̀

Plus collect upfront payment ooooo

If you don't have, ja kúrò ní waju mi jàre, mi o ráyè radarada pálapàla.


Datguru, abeg send me that your HP agreement, am considering it.

ridwanadedapo:
Quoting you doesn’t mean am against you fam! I just continue where u dropped it.

oluwaseunla:
I feel the said driver's monicker should be named to save others from him. Besides, that will give him an opportunity to defend himself.

dru23:
But according to Stealth 100 rating does not matter now ... And even Oga Gazzuz is using 1998 station wagon on uber oops sorry I mean 2009 Toyota station wagon. Me self I want use 1997 yellow station wagon for uber.

On another note one of my driver just drop my car ... Am sorry dump my car. We thank God the car is still in perfect condition body wise and engine wise. Some driver sha jumping from one car to another. Well I guess that is how lazy people operate maybe he will be home praying to God to answer his prayers. People forget hard work, just pray and jump from one job to another hoping to land something big..... Nigerians are the most lazy people..... We can agree to disagree respectfully, but if you start to judge me by mine comments be ready to fight o ...

dru23:
My guy did all these just come out of your mouth... ?rating system is wrong... just advise them .... etc

dru23:
My guy we need to ban you. Fellow nairalander after fully reading this man posts on uber. We need to get the moderator to officiallly ban him not only from the uber thread, but from nairaland in general. Your attitude and statement are the reason why Nigeria can not go forward at all . I am boiling hot blood after reading all your comments. Reason for the official ban is as follows
1. Advice the uber driver
2. Rating system is wrong
3. The drivers too have family
4. Car might be bad etc
5. You want to spoil their future. Etc and etc
Over to the moderator for further and final review... but before that please take 1 , I meant 2 no sorry just take as many as possible

medd422:
So when a driver drops your car, u call him lazy. The dude got a better offer and has moved on. Deal with it.
