ornicus:


most of you can never think anything through for the long run.
your sim is registered in your name, not so?
when you are constantly changing jobs or company name, you are reducing the opportunities available to you

it is like undocumented work in the US . you may feel smart at the time, but the end result is gaps in your CV that you cannot explain.

so you continue misbehaving up and dan and reregistering with uber.

even if they dont catch you, you will forever be an entry level low end driver.

nigger behavior. think about long term

izzou:


Bad? Yes
Very bad? Depends on your definition

So far, the places I know that are very bad are 4th Avenue, 7th Avenue, parts of 23 road, 21 road and 51 road, parts of Ist avenue, and few others. Their major roads are not bad

And from his complain, the route to Festac is good. From Cele-2nd rainbow-Apple junction to Festac is okay.

Only the driver knows why he brought up the issue of offline for that route sha. Maybe I don't know anything

deedee44:

Do you know his exact destination? How are you certain it's not one of the areas you mentioned above? Only he and the driver know

nofij:
Mr izzu I really like the way you address issues sha

ornicus:


the charge has already been reversed.
my anger is at employees and partners trying to defraud employers/partners

you are all complaining about uber, low returns, bad roads etc, as a justification for cheating uber
so if uber decides nigeria is not profitable and leaves, who loses?

you or them?

this is EXACTLY how nigerians [yes izzou, nigerians] destroy companies. they will all shout government, governors, but most of them are all scheming on how to cheat their employers into oblivion. they will tell you it is because they are hungry or some other story

deedee44:

If the fares are normal no driver would think of offline trips. Drivers are already being cheated by these ridiculously low fares forced down their throats. If you want to talk about being fair then you should suggest to Uber to hands off price decisions and focus on taking their commission from whatever price the driver charges riders.

Cooladex:
The kind of insults one receives daily on this job ehn!
But uve developed a thick skin tho.

I got a request today at agungi, immediately she called she already sounded rude. And then she said her 2 housemates are following me to go pick her children at school and I bring them back. I said okay..

On our way back , this woman called me that can I buy a tuber of yam for her on the way, that she'll reimburse me my money when we come back..

I just jejely handed over 5h to one of the girls and she went to buy yam.
This woman called back and started raking/shouting for me, that she nva sent her houseful, that it's me.

I told her i cant buy yam, I don't know where they sell yams. She dropped the call on me Nd hissed.

After the trip, the woman gave me a 1start just because undid not buy a tuber of yam for her.

I'm just weak
..

Well baba... What do I know

ornicus:

if you cannot cope with uber, get yellow cab
who knows what nonsense you would have gotten up to as an employee

i worked in a downstream major. I was just thinking about some station managers who had been promoted to station dealers. several of them have been sacked. because they were all adjusting pump like there was no tomorrow, spoiling the brand of the company for their own gains. these fellows had been employees of dealers, and they had been elevated to become dealers themselves. a little self discpline, a little patience - but no they immediately went all out on a pump adjusting spree.

my point - there are always excuses. guess what - everyone knows where shoe dey pinch. you do not want to manage, you do not want to live within your means. you will rather complain about your employer and look for how to cheat him.
it is also the same way we kept hearing of managers robbing the dealers blind. dealer will be disturbing you - i am not making returns, meanwhile it is the useless manager doing sharp practices. stealing millions from their oga.

deedee44:

You're the one always seeing everything, you're giving examples of others cheating someone else but you've not mentioned where you once did it. I know you're very holy, you've never cheated anyone in your whole life

ornicus:


well , we thank God. i grew up middle class to responsible hardworking parents who instilled values in me, not as a hungry pauper whose first lesson was steal anything that is not tied down

Debosneh31:

If u can take Toyota Avensis for 30k weekly, quote me

deedee44:

If you care so much about others' well being your conscience wouldn't allow you to be paying that token you're paying for such a luxury and still be threatening drivers who go through hell just to make ends meet. You don't care about him defrauding Uber, you only care about the higher fare you would pay if trip was done offline.

Uber's nephew will come and say you're cheating Uber now, ode ni won like (na mumu dem like)

Ogbunigwe2018:

How much worth of repairs does your car need?

KakiP:


Hmmm....where do we draw the line now?

ofime123:
I want uber agent to come and beat me am in another offline ikoyi to OTA back to ikoyi. because I don't know when offline has turn to defrauding uber or bolt.

radautoworks:


Alas in an environment not so in line with common practice. Common practice would dictate verifiable addresses where people can be found. Common practice would dictate some system where someone's creditworthiness could be assessed. Common practice would have laws in place for recourse.

The reaction was based on experience and was supposed to elicit a smile about the country we find ourselves. While I certainly empathize, my reaction stands.

ornicus:
How does one report irresponsible drivers? This driver started saying we should go off Uber because he claimed the road is bad.

ndubuis:
What the driver did was certainly not right, but the way you are going about this, the know it all attitude does not speak well of you as a human being. You strike me as one difficult rider I do not want to meet. While you go about this, bear in mind that the uber thing is a source of livelihood for a lot of folk out there. Don't come with the pretence of being self righteous to knock other people's hustle.

ornicus:


Who are you calling poor? Oga stop projecting. Face the fact that your paddy is a THIEF who attempted to defraud his business partner. He further attempted to deceive a customer with a cock and bull story.

It is people like you that destroy businesses because of their greed

This sums it up

lin3r2:


Oboy e
How much you charge for the trip?
Me I don dey magistrate court since 11am no request. Very disheartening.

eherbal:
honestly bro festac roads are bad,just that the driver handled the situation wrongly.
from 1st avenue down to 2nd gate.31rd, 21rd down to Anglican church and beyond.22rd to 512 junction by nitel and environs.7th avenue is also not left out. festac town is a ghost of its former self.the only person that probably agreed to take you there was the AC-less fella.you do the maths. apart from that,getting request outta festac Is near impossible,except early morning trips to the island or airports,or weekend nights. it's a no go area for drivers. sorry for the inconvenience,but reporting the driver is off.

ornicus:


i suggest you read everything i wrote. i take uber rides three to four times a week . all return to festac. it is only once someone has said i can't go to festac.

it is actually interesting as this is a glimpse into the mind of the average nigerian. Perpetual justification for wrong doing. you may as well be a mechanic or housemaid defending stealing from your boss.

AntiBrutus:


No, that is not what "WE" were defending.

The first person that hopped on his post like what I don't know, didn't even have a word for his colleague. You guys signed a pact to defend yourself in every or what?
