I have experienced the same thing. Very strange. From Agungi to Lekki Phase I - N400. The rider was on promo, so what showed up on my screen was zero Naira. Trust these girls and freebies, she was all smiles and still gave me a four star. After she left, I checked details of the trip, realizing how big a promo that could have been, only to find out that the actual fare was N400. Uber took N100 and left the rest for me. I have done a review though and I'm yet to get a response from them. I have just finished updatimg my app to the latest version. Maybe that will help.

Am sick and tire of these one sided story always making the news. To me riders especially bolt rider are the worst behaved when compared to drivers.

ornicus:
Guy get on your okada and off my mentions abeg. Business slow?

Mjosh1000:
Let's observe 1min silence for taxify (bolt) cos opay on boarding is their funeral.

My view
Taxify (bolt) shitty app, no good customer service,
Driver is not important to them all they care about is riders
If opay can do a good job in these areas taxify (bolt) is good as dead.

On the other hand

Uber
With opay on boarding and their incentive on riders, uber will be comatose for a while cos opay go take all the customer. Uber been uber will come back strong after opay has exhaust all its resources.

At the end of the day it will be uber vs o'car cos taxify(bolt) will go 6fit just like gokada and maxOkada

SaintHilary:
Based on sum stats,

RunsGirls make up 80% of Bolt Riders

Corporate staffs make up 70% of Uber Riders

Rubbiish:

Was there no agreement?
Was it on rental or HP?

yes, you are right, though somtyms I don't lyk ubers style,

why wud u send me 3km to pick a rider n eventually rider is just going around 3-4km too or just around d street laden wt traffic.

Most of dese apps think only about deir profits n riders( taxify is guilty of this)

Why am I using your app to drive in d first place? Ofcousr, to make 'Profit'.

Sending me all the way to pick someone, I get to d place, rider headed to ICM Ikeja, just across d street, end trip, #375, waited 20mins , no gbagaun. Or sending me to dose those rejected areas n not trying to find a way for me to com out with @ least a trip.

you know how cumbersome ICM is, you HV to park n go n sort deir parking shit @ n all.
Driving in traffic.
I wait in traffic for ONE good hour, engine firing on all Four cylinders , AC in collaboration, stereo in the background too. And all I get in return is #450 !

For one good hour of deploying resources.

This game is a stopgap.....Seriously.

bhoomie:
Thanks. They are well known; and should provide accommodation, feeding and security for the two days. I guess the 20k is not bad then?
... It's just that Berger traffic that scares me

waks1:
Let me share this experience so people can be more careful as we approach yuletide.
Left coker road ilupeju to Ikeja bride but the heavy traffic on ikorodu road made us to pass gbagada-estate alapere to alausa. On getting to alapere before oando 9:33pm, the babe at the back sit called my attention that someone was flagging me down that we even thought somthing happened to my car(a corolla), on seeing the car whose driver was trying to stop me, I can't remember knowing anybody by that car, the guy blocked me in front to the fast lane and came down pointing to his rear bumper that I scratch him. I was surprised because I didn't get close to any car let alone scratching somebody. Came to my driver side telling me to wind down that I scratch him, I refused to wind down saying I did nt, though i was afraid because i knew this guys are robbers with that strategy, he was talking and knocking my glass I did not bulge and the lady in my car was also telling me don't wind down and so afraid and shaky. His car was tinted and wound up and even at that, he was sweating with that his black ugly face and feeling uncomfortable when I refuse for like 1 minutes, meanwhile another car was blocking me from behind which was obvious they were together. When I refused, the car behind me reverse and I quickly reverse and left too. Every other cars were just passing by thinking it was normal I scratch u argument. I drove and pull over beside those police van at ojota towards tollgate, came down and explain the encounter to the officers their. Then I saw the guy's car passing and was looking in our direction. Why didnt he came down for us to settle d scratch argument with the police. He drove pass and I just waited like 5 mins their before proceeding on my journey. Guys pls be watchful. God will continue to protect us, coro boys be more alert and don't loose guard. Peace.

Don't mind them.
They wanted to cow the drivers with "how will you survive if uber leaves" to have drivers dance to their tunes like they are slaves to uber and riders.
Like we said, uber, bolt, Opay and the rest aren't doing any drivers favour by coming to Nigeria, they are here to make money and they need drivers to make that money

lin3r2:
Hi guys I greet you all. All the elders on this forum, all protocols observed.

Please I'd like your unwatered down opinion on this matter regardless of how unpleasant it may sound. The Bible says "in the multitude of counsel there is safety."

I was driving a corolla 2004 a month back but had to return it to the owner because of the many issues it was having. The last being that the brakes failed.

Now, the owner bought the car Nigerian used for 1.25m with the odometer reading at its last which is 299999 (yea I know, right) anyways, when he told me about it and I took a look at it, I had my doubts the car would be a smooth ride on the platform but I still took it because I like trying things out before concluding.

Fast forward two weeks after putting the car on the platform and driving for just one week I noticed the car shorts oil which i mentioned this to the owner and managed it again for another week where it develop another issue. This time the issue had to do with the noise coming from the adjuster. I took the car to the client who then decided to change the engine and after engine change everything was smooth except for increased fuel consumption which was due to the fact that the car on idle mode read 2000rpm.

I took it back to him and the mechanic adjusted it and everything was fine. Though, prior to the change of engine the hub of the car, as I was made to understand by his mecahnic needed changing because it caused a loud wooing sound when I am on 60kmph and was somehow uncomfortable for riders but I totally ignored that.

The pattern became a week on, 4 days off at the workshop because a lot of issues were just coming up. Now the car started developing a fault where it goes off when I am on the move, that I have to shift to neutral while in motion to start the car again. Though God helped me all the times it stopped that I didn't have issues or accidents. I reported it to the owner who got it fixed by changing the remote box and fuse controller or something like that.

This change seemed to work for a while but later started again until God helped me to spot the issue that was causing it to stop through a rewire who was at shoprite trying to shop. The rewire came out from the mall and saw me trying to start the car and asked me to pop the bonnet which I did and he immediately touched somewhere on the fuse box and the car start immediately. I thanked him and he advised that the fault is an electrical issue and not something a mechanic would fix but a rewire I took his number and thanked him again. By the way, this rewire was properly dressed and seemed like someone who was making good money from his job.

While I was wondering what that rewire at shoprite must have touched to make the car start, I later realized that there was this fuse that is labeled 40 that always go hot because it was fused using a wrap of wires. All I had to do when the car stopped was removed the fuse and change the position the other way and voila! The car comes on.

The last time I drove the car was when it failed break on my way to lekki with a rider in it. Though the rider didn't know what happened but after I dropped the rider, I just jejely took the car back to the owner. I told the owner to change all the faulty parts and fix all the issues before the car can work on the platform because the car was now smooth driving after the engine change save for all those small issues that could take a man's life.

The reason for this long epistle is to give a general idea of the cars history which would enable you all make your suggestions.

The owner has fixed everything wrong with the car and done some body work as well. Repairs has cost him over 400k. Now he wants to sell the car out rightly or hire purchase.

Now my questions
1. Would it be wise to even consider this same car for hire purchase?

2. If yes, given all that has happened and the amount of money that has gone into repairs, how much can this car go for hire purchase if at all?

Please your candid advise and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Cc: GazzuZZZ @tojaah my guy @radauto and all other bosses.

Thanks

tojahh:
Good day... I will like to ask.

1. Is the only ready to count his loss?

Then back to the issue of HP, I don't know how the owner would want to recoup on such car, for HP I will say nothing more than 1.8m not spread within a duration because something tells me the car will start sakamaje again.
Besides I will advise you not to go back to that car because you may not derive satisfaction driving it as it has always been an "Evil Spirit" to you. If the owner would want to sell it outright then 1m-1.2m would be good.

In all... Advice the owner to Sell it that's all.
