Me nko

tol8u:


Yeah me too. How often do you do your oil change ?
What car?

Luxurydriverng:


Bolt/taxify same thing. Uber to meet premium riders but few times u meet the regular, bolt/taxify more of regular folks some few times premium riders. Bolt to get out of ghettos like agege ejigbo akute etc. Uber back to back trips on the island. Taxify will also give u trips back to back though. Taxify night crawlers use it alot like olosho etc. So mix the two to your advantage

Freshprince91:



My Oga, i did 13 trips yesterday though they were short trips and grossed 10k, i was pissed off because my darling Taxify usually gives me long trips, with just 4 or 5 trips, i would have made that amount.
So today i have done another 7 trips, fares better than yesterday, that's 20 trips already.
Will i get a notification about the reduced commission (3 %) or Sundays don't count for a new week trip count? or should i write them to ask how its done?

confusedworld17:
No be everybody like to show say dem get money.
Those sounding so condescending should go and read " THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR" and give your selves some brain.

Meanwhile, yesterday after I don close for work around 10pm. Na so I arrange all the cash wey I collect put for my pocket, about 12k.

I pack like 4 to 5 buildings before the place wey I want by bread and akara, after buying the bread and akara, getting close to where I pack, nah so I see folded money on the ground, I quickly pick the money enter car and zoom off.

While inside car driving home, for my mind, I don pick better money. When I enter house to count the money wey I pick, e come be say na my own money fall for ground.

That night I no come know weda make I dey happy say no be another person pick my money or make I dey sad say money wey I think say I pick just vanish.

Going by your story the money is obviously yours but next time bro at least try to ask people around (You don't have to reveal the amount to anyone in case you come across someone claiming ownership) cos if the story was different that may have been someone's monthly salary you picked up you never know and losing it in such a manner'll have spelt doom to such a fellow. At least if you had asked around (assuming the money wasn't yours) and you were unable to locate the rightful owner u'll have had a clear conscience spending the money. My Opinion tho �

calabardick:


They should better read and learn, in as much as I don't trouble you, you've no right to trouble me, if you try it na 3MB I'll end your trip, treat your fvckup and kick you out of my car. Uber have authorise us to abort any idiotic trip.

I see one lowlife punk downgrading drivers because he feels he's working with a heavenly downstream or whatever.
I personally work with an upstream - E & P (Automation Engineer, studied and certified in Brazil ), works offshore (2 weeks in/out). I resigned from a reputable military service to further my studies. Instead of staying idle I decide to romance uber, it's fun and stressful out there, it resets my brain as well.

Driving with uber have expose me to both angels and demons, it really shaped my life in so many ways, I've learned a lot.

Drivers deserves to be respected, it's not easy.

On Friday I picked one nasty lady that was insulting and commanding me to drive like James Bond, I ignored her and she tapped my shoulder from behind and said "mr. Man I'm talking to you", I didn't say anything and she began ranting, I ignored her. According to airtel THAT THING DEY PAIN.

When we get to Blenco she mannerlessly asked me to stop for her to shop, and I did.
She get inside, I followed her, we shopped at the end of the shopping I purposely stood behind her, my items were 10x more than what she picked and she asked me who I am, I humbly showed her my IDs when we entered the car, that's when sudden humility overshadowed her she now switched to the front seat, I ended the trip there , gave her a free ride to gulf at lakowe, without collecting a kobo from her for the entire ride.
When she asked me why I offer her a free ride, I told her UBER DRIVERS AREN'T POOR.

She called around 11pm, I didn't pick her call, she dropped a message [just checking on you]

I use iPad for uber, fuuuck CEOs

The kin mosquito that bite me the last time I slept inside car for lekki, I give my self brain buy car mosquito net incase the need to sleep street come up again (which can be inevitable sometimes)

Like if you have had similar experience, share if you have never slept on the street in the course of this hustle

Hmmmm, the thread is now for CEO's

GAZZUZZ:


All pointless to prove a point to just one person . What will you do do the remaining 99,999 ill mannered riders out there? Best to focus on your work and keep calm.

Crvrider:


God bless una hustle o. But how do you guys manage to sleep inside car, don't you guys consider the risk?

Somebody drop Bobo & all of them swallowed it

Driver of the year ko!!! Driver of the day ni

nitigriti:


If anyone sees money on the floor that doesn't belong to him or her, don't pick it. Just leave it there and waka pass.


It is the ethical thing not to do.

Please drop yours let us swallow too.
Thanks.

Gentlelife50:
Meanwhile this neighbor wants me to drop his family at badagry on Friday then come back on Sunday to take them back.
From Shangotedo to badagry.
I told him 40k, he shouted. I told him the road is very good.
Asked him if he have been there recently he said yes that he was there yesterday with his car that he doesn't want to go with his car, for my mind na my own car good to suffer.
If any driver is interested he wants to pay 20k, let me link u

Taymi:


I mean after a trip the total amount on the driver’s page is different from that of the rider and that of the rider is higher

donfortune48:


Just forget what happened bro.
Your rider was a hungry man/woman.

I once took 3girls from Marina to Farmcity admiralty around 9pm.
They entered and said Oga please be fast, follow the fastest route, please don't enter traffic.

I went through Ikoyi link bridge cos it's the fastest and even the shortest distance. On approaching the toll one Shouted, oga why did you follow this place?

Me: what's wrong with this place?

Rider: cos we will pay extra #100. You should have followed the other one.

Me: is #100 a problem to you.

Rider: yes. Do you know if we have money?

Me: I will discount #100 for you at the end of the trip.

Rider: Thank you sir.

Some things are negligible bro.

Perkins1:


No bother bro... Whenever Gazzuzz don't support a thing.. Always watch the space for his asslikers to follow suit. Or you think he just read the Bobo just this morning? Nope he didn't. He had to wait for the validation of his Boss before he could take a stand.

Meanwhile expect him to start mentioning others to come see and throw shades like they're known for.

Cyberpeace bro

deedee44:

That's how one rider told me before she even came out that "it's a short trip and estimate says N500, if it's above that she won't pay"
I told her to come, when I start the trip I will do manual calculation and give her my own estimate.
When I calculated the fare manually it was 600 and I told her, she insisted that it was 500 they showed her, I just realized madam had only 500 and didn't know how to say it.
I then told her "don't worry, since you've informed me beforehand I will collect 500"
I ended trip and it was truly 600, I showed her but collected 500. She was grateful and all smiles

okiyi:



Haha I thought u were with me until u said:
It is the ethical thing not to do.

Fam I'm not here to start another "moral/na me holy pass drama" though as the recent ones unnecessarily and annoyingly dragged for too long when those who brought it up started digressing. At least I'm a driver partner myself so I'm not here to form bad guy. I know this thread was created for Uber/Bolt driver partners to share their experiences/challenges on the job but it shouldn't always end there. Let's always put ourselves in check when we see the next man doing something improper as that's the only way this country would be a better place someday. I only felt the need to react to that user's contribution because he said he "picked the money, hurried into his car and zoomed off" without caring to know if the rightful owner had been somewhere around looking for the money (assuming the money wasn't his).
The average Nigerian blames Buhari for EVERYTHING currently wrong with this country yet the average Nigerian is a more horrible "Buhari" in the community they live, at their place of work, church/mosque ETC.
Do you know most local government chairmen frown at residents/resident associations that try to fix damaged roads? You know why? Because they spend less than half the amount allocated for these community road repairs so when you fix the road and they are unable to make demands to higher authority how do they embezzle?
The average policeman despite being paid salary on time still goes about harassing and extorting innocent Nigerians.
I recently heard of a case where a doctor in a public hospital referred a patient to a private hospital because he claimed they couldn't handle the case there (in the public hospital) .At the end of the day, that same doctor was the one to handle that patient's case and the private hospital actually belongs to him.
We all know of the 999 other ways Nigerians aren't doing what's right but they keep blaming "the government". WE ARE ALL THE GOVERNMENT.
About 3 weeks ago,after I dropped off a rider(female) I looked back only to realize she forgot her phone (iPhone) on the floor of the back seat. Fortunately I hadn't gone too far and immediately turned back to return it.. Na small remain make she dey roll for floor dey thank me lol.
Omo let me not make this too much of an epistle and just end there cos there's so much more to say but let's just all always try to do what's right.
Bless.

It's all about know your terrain. I dare not sleep in the streets of mainland but anytime I find myself on the island (the true lagos) Admiralty, Chevron, Abraham Adesanya, Ikoyi and I cant burn fuel driving through the horrible roads and traffic going home without achieving my daily set target. I strongly believe that is the way to hit big figures driving on this platforms.
