One drunk punk (with a bottle of Sprite mixed with some substance) took me from one estate off admiralty (NITEL) to abijo back to estate, at the end of the trip after delaying me with some oloshos he came and drop 1k, asked me to call him later for the balance. The bastard claimed he's davido's boy. Police (FSARS) even block us at jakande because of how he was doing with the oloshos inside the car.

When I told him I will not call him that he'll pay in his next trip, the guy come para, get liver come push me as I was peeing for gutter, tell me say if I no commot for area him dog go eat my carcass. After peeing about to enter my car he held my shirt and asked me to repeat what I said and I told him that Uber will pay me for the trip, while he refund Uber when paying for his next trip.

the bastard slap my back, I ask both Angel and demon for strength, as he was holding my shirt pushing me, with all my strength I gave him uppercut, the guy sumersulted and enter the gutter, the oloshos shouted in an unknown language, I zoom off, report to uber and they pay me with interest.

The most annoying thing is that he wasn't the one that booked the trip, the person that booked the trip switched off his phone when I tried reaching him.

This work needs some kinda madness!
What a story. Can you please share the name of the street you picked up this bustard so that one can be on the lookout. You did the right thing. Hoping that uppercut Of yours took out one of his teeth. I'm always ready, any tout, not in uniform that tries to enter my car or any rider that dares a physical confrontation is simply putting his LIFE on the line. It's called self defense. Good job bruh.

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?
Bro don't be deceived by gross that taxify displays, always check your net to determine your hustle so far.
That by the way. You can Imagine being on 3% by Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday latest and you have the rest of the week to make more for yourself. But the taxify will keep you on 20% all through, deceiving you that you can make more through bonuses that are not certain.
Bro abeg use Uber for two weeks and see the difference.

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

Nice guy, we interacted and gisted all the way, trip was 2,900, guy gave me 5k and said I should come pick them at Eko hotel by 6:30am this mrng to the Int'l airport.
Picked them at 6:20 and dropped them off at the airport, guy gave me 6k.
I headed to local and got a trip around 8am to awoyaya. 6,300.
Immediately I saw a trip from awoyaya back to Int'l airport. 5800.

I decided to go see my mechanic around fatai atere way, and then head home, na so Mushin LG boys double crossed me with towing van while waiting for the mechanic
We started doing james bond driving as i was ready to risk it all, I almost broke there legs sef. Na so the guy shout. "mad man mad man"

I just thank God sha if not all the money wey I make for go.

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]

For their information, I use iPad for uber, fuuuck CEOs

Lol. Just like one girl I picked at Skye bank ilupeju, very nasty and uncouth lady. She told me I'll never make it in life.
I told her i spent 8 years working with Skye bank and I make her salary 65k in just a week and this is my car.
She just weak! grin

Mine has been overdue for a while but riders' complaints got me blocked without prior notification due to recent AC challenge (though AC is fine now). I didn't get a similar message, mine is kinda different due to the peculiarity.

I was planning to ask here if any had his account blocked due to similar reason and if the person was unblocked without reinspection.

In your case, since there's a definite date and time (unlike a mail & an in-app message I got last week that wasn't definitive), you may be blocked after the time elapses.

Hello House,

Please does anyone know the registration process of Bolt in Ibadan? A friend wants to join the hustle. Is it similar to Lagos?

Also, what is the hustle like in Ib now?

Go to Bolt office at Samonda and you will be directed to inspection center which is opposite Ventura mall when it's confirmed your vehicle is acceptable. Pay ₦2k and get your car inspected, return to office to have your profile activated...

Welldone namesake.
Please bro, can you please share the Airport parole?
Last time i took a rider to the Int'l airport, told her I've never been there, she said I shouldn't worry that she would help me navigate. I was reluctant at first, because of the stories of towing vehicles and parking wahala .
Picked her up on my street and she asked me to drive in through the local airport and i drove straight down to the Int'l airport parking lot where she alighted, immediately Taxify calculated her fare, she jumped out, i didn't know what to do (navigate my way out), I was apprehensive, had to ask a gun wielding police officer for a way out.
When I got to the exit, i was told to go back and pay, Local man was stunned!
Got to the pay point and was told to pay #500 .Gini !! I haven't spend 5 minutes here, the cashier said that's how it's done. Local man was flabbergasted, 1300 naira trip, now I have to part with #500.
After making payment, i was about to head into the car when a request to Lekki came through, i was excited but i had to ask how pick up is done.
The Police officer said i should tell the rider to come out and avoid parking on the 'Arrival no pick up point' . Did as instructed and was told to keep turning round until i spot the rider.
What I'm asking is : next time i get to the parking lot, can i go down the 'Arrival no pick up point ' and help rider with their luggage back to the parking lot or keep driving round till rider comes out or what?
And for the local Airport, if I drive in to the parking lot and request comes in, can i come out to help the rider with her luggage or ask them to come into the parking lot? Where can i pick them?
I am scared of their towing vehicles and penalty fees .
