Guy na so I carry one elderly man and two babes last Saturday, after arriving the pick up point, mans told me my car is dirty and they ended up leaving it lot dirtier, spilled drinks on the floor, cans everywhere and shwarma wraps. Smh. One star wasn't enough

Xneg:
Hi guys, hope you're enjoying your holiday, yesterday started out well but ended in a funny way, I'll like to hear from you guys.

So I picked a lady from access bank close to shoprite at the palms, she was going to magodo shangisha, traffic was very bad yesterday, while we were struggling with the third mainland traffic, should saw her colleague driving beside us and she said I should park and end the trip.

Me: sorry ma, I can't end the trip here, it's not a convenient place for me.

Rider: raising her voice.. What's the meaning of this, you mean I should continue and waste my money when I can join my friend. She made move to open the door, I just quietly cleared to the right and the colleague was right behind us.

My plan was to continue to her destination and end it when I get there but as soon as she got down she ended it from her end, which is one thing I dislike about uber allowing riders end trip on their own.

I was very mad because I spent almost 2hrs to get to the mainland when I could have just remained on the island and do short trips. I complained to uber and they said rider has the right to end trip if they feel uncomfortable, I was like, una de mad, who is talking about rider being uncomfortable here. Seriously it's very annoying.

Anybody that is using tokunbo corolla at this stage of the business, needs prayers and difference... may God help them

Talking from experience and experience only.... I had three Honda civics ,just sold 1 few weeks ago 03 .. The rest is 04 and 03 .. All bought tokunbo.. Very solid cars and strong and good on fuel..... Civics from 03 to 05 ,is what I know and what I recommend.. I can't recommend something that I have not used.... And landing cost for those cars should be around 1.2 to 1.3m .... If you can a tokunbo from the start, maintain it well, good oil coolant etc .. And the resale value of that car is not bad. I sold mine last than two weeks when it was advertised..

I think you need to respect people's opinion, yes civic is a good brand, strong and reliable for this job, if people prefer to use corolla, then so be it... Everyone gat their preference.

And that was how I was blowing an empty car from MMIA passing through Obafemi Awolowo way when the phone beeps

After exchanging pleasantries,

Me: Where are you headed to
Rider: Ogombo road

(Heart leaps for joy)

But the guy know even fit give me any better landmark for Ikeja under bridge

Na so I near computer village car park. Dem say #500 to park. I speak small igbo for the guy tell am say na sharparly I dey comot. Give am #200.

I park go find my rider. This was the end result

Epphy:


How much were you expecting? You paid toll huh. You should always expect to have #200-300 less on long distance trips on #taxify. Them sabi scam drivers

Xneg:


Me: sorry ma, I can't end the trip here, it's not a convenient place for me.

izzou:


That brings me to the next question

You take a rider to Lekki for example
You pay the #200 toll....

When you end the trip, you see #2000 including toll

Why should your earnings be #2000 instead of #1800..?.

franksam2009:
like WTF did I just read ?? People will be misbehaving and be claiming right

julietromeo:

Your earning is not 2000 neither is 1800. Its actually 1500. Taxify do remove commission from the toll also.

Rollitout:
I am getting more card trips than cash, out of about 9 daily trips, at least 7 would be card. Even more request coming in on Bolt than Uber.
I noticed that most Uber riders have migrated permanently to Bolt.

Why these people dey like this?

Gentlelife50:

U no as e dey go naa, u no go understand sha. I was checking the fare and it wasn't adding much I had to do what I gat to do.

Animals are just better than some people, picked this couple at the airport. The messed my car real bad, ate chips and chicken from TFC I don't know what it's called. They started eating as soon as we left airport, they pushed the footmat and the small rug under the foot mat under the car seat don't know if it was on purpose and every kind of particles was just on the floor. Had it been they allowed all the mess to be on the foot mat it would be bearable, my car was just like a garbage bin. I managed to trash the whole nonsense and couldn't clean the rug, had to use the foot mat to cover it.
I would have reported to Uber at least the will be debited for car wash but I remember I used saka when they were delaying me and making several Yeye stops.

Second rider this morning

Made calls from pickup to final destination. Always talking and talking. I couldn't even listen to Jimi Disu's political analysis on 97.3
