if I am not mistaken, the FG has given phone companies a deadline to get rid of sims not tied verified users. abuse of sims goes way beyond matters like bbnaija

unfortunately, Uber is probably doing it naija style - waiting for someone to get killed on their platform before they roll out policies that ensure all riders are properly identified.
Oh so you're not aware, well.. several drivers have been killed, nice drivers that didn't reject trips to awkward places, and nothing was done by uber/bolt, not even a simple compensation to the family they left behind.

He is a boss, and that's why he has the liberty to do that which he can't naturally be able to do if he isn't a boss.
BTW, drivers can still cancel and get paid for it by just waiting a lil above 5 mins. Asking you to cancel is to safe your cash and time.
If you as a rider think you're a superior boss, cancel from your end and go sack the driver from the platform as a boss.
NO STORY



The bolded is the reason I said

Nigeria no go ever better with the way all of us dey do sha, we always give excuse for our wrong doings.

We commit fraud and justify it with a reason grin grin

I use to be a part time/destinations trip driver when Lagos roads were good.. My last trip was December 2018.. The rates & roads are not worth it to me so I stopped driving on Uber.. I did not start complaining & giving poor service with excuses that road are not good or rates are poor..

Boss that can chop ban grin grin

I still don't understand why people need multiple... I've had one for the last four years and definitely do NOT want and/or need another way for people to reach me!
Not everyone is like you, we have notorious riders out there that changed our (drivers) mind set so try and understand if we behave the way we behave, it's not our fault ma

Interesting.

When we had a death on a site, the fallout was massive. So many things were changed.

I am frankly surprised that uber has not made any changes (or so you say) to their operations.

Then again, if they were able to catch the thieves immediately, it tells you they actually are tracking riders even if you think they are not doing so

Yea I know about those set of people. I select people based on the prompting I get from within. You 100% correct though I have never had any issues with people transferring to me. Almost 7 days ago I dropped a guy at the airport and his fare was 4600 he said his banking app was giving him issues. So I told him to go that I'll send my account number to him. The next day I got an alert of 5500.

I am selective based on the voice inside prompting me.
So yes may God not allow me meet people that will make me change my mind about transfers
smiley

By the way, a thought just occurred to me. Let's organize a day and get to know ourselves in person at either the beach or somewhere. I mean the guys on this forum. Those in lagos o. Like a get together. grin grin
Just a thought
We have a telegram group and we do it monthly wink, NL version will be a welcome development though. I'm in

So am at one fleet management company where I went to have a meeting with one of the manager and the driver I want to take over the car he is driving. What I saw gave me a chill down my spin on the situation of the country bro...... They are having interview for drivers mass, men there is over supply of drivers and under supply of cars to drive. What am seeing in the atmosphere is the employee employer mindset, it's suppose to be a driver car owner partnership under the facilitation of the fleet management company..its a though terrain put here. God please help me to qui

PS.. I just drop or return the corolla that I was complaining bitter about, after hanging on for as much as I could- what broke the camel back was when car owner refuse to replace two tires that have twisted, with bomps(coco) and the wires already showing.

Funny enough Nigeria is not even uber's biggest African market.. So losing Nigerian market is not a big deal to them in my opinion .. Egypt is the biggest market for them and Some other African countries .. Those market are more important to them than Nigeria.. The only thing here is that uber is trying to get a strong grip ahead of everybody else regardless if the market is big or not ..more like a monopoly control.. We can agree to disagree at the sametime
That Nigeria is not the biggest market doesn't mean it won't be a big deal losing Nigeria

Uber added the SOS button and also sent some security advice warning/advice to partners
They also added the "share your location" thingie for drivers & riders

Dru, Nigeria is ranked amongst the top 3... the Egypt u mentioned is beneath us.
The aim of every investor is to grow (largely acceptable), losing one out of your top 3 stronghold should make u sit up and yes losing Nigeria is a big deal to them.

I like uber because it brings structure to riding. No arbitrary charges, better safety, means of arbitration, tracking.

Like most things in the internet, you are a vocal minority making ineffectual noises about how important you are. In spite of all the gragra on here, I get rides every single time

That’s all that needs to be said.

We are the owners of the cars. So park them at home and stop forming boss. You are NOTHING without the platform but a fellow with an idle car

Stop deceiving yourself, were you using uber in 2016? No, you're using uber now because it's cheap, cheaper than yellow cabs

With all your threats too, I still dont go to places I dont want to go

Yes I am the owner of the car and I cant park at home because I'm not lazy, and mind you.. the platform is NOTHING without us drivers but we can survive without them. There are offline jobs bro, you know nothing

let me break it down to you in terms you will understand

UBER is why people enter your car. without uber, you are simply a dodgy looking guy in a corolla
take you car round lagos and offer people rides and see how many will enter

or let me put it a different way

there are a lot of independent fuel marketers out there.
the moment an independent partners with a major marketer, brands in the marketers colours, his sales can go up by 50 - 70%
that is the strength of the brand
what brand do you have?
do you have anything that would bring a rider to you?
or you think the sole factor between uber and yellow cabs is price?

why do you think uber insists on AC, and that your car is in good condition and not below a certain age

because that is part of their brand

I want to share a story about a guy who does uber for a living like us. These guy came into Lagos last year, a pastor and was assigned as my zonal leade and I was to work directly under him.. He needed a place to stay a few weeks later reached out to me and I said sure you can move in with me.. He was struggling for a while, till he completed his DL registration and started these uber hustle. These was last year around August.
These guy has a wife a d daughter who are in the UK, he was there too with them briefly before he was sent back home because of fake papers that one so call agent did for him, he didn't know. He was to stay away for 10yrs before he can re-aply. It's over six years now and the little daughter he left behind in the UK is now over 6years old, when he left they just gave birth to her.

With these hustle he diligently gave his all, I watch him pay half of his school fees for Rome business school(2500€) pay hostel accommodation 550€, pay 250k to a financial or loan shark to lodge 5M in his account for a month, bought plane ticket, all with these uber hustle. It took a year plus to achieve these with these same hustle that people look with disdain.

These job is like a cash cow, that can be fattened(by putting more time, energy, into it) and slaughtered or milked when the time is right.


Now we have folks like izzou and others who are gradually pushing there's. Let's not be discourage brov, no matter the challenge, keep your eyes on the goal.......
