Sopcla:


Bro just here for survey to know the regulated HP payment terms to feedback my company and I’m not the only staff doing survey, this thread is basically for Uber drivers so a lot of people here already have cars they are driving so i know interest will be low here, do you think it’s easy to buy a 2M tokunbo car and give it out on 2.5M HP, a lot of people are out there looking for this offer so I’m not here to look for drivers, in fact we already have over 50 potential drivers trying to have a grab, and Iv even gotten more than 20 calls from interested people who read my post on this thread

chillex8:

That's freshprince. Mine is silver.

adsmaster:


Please one of us here reach out to the lady, according to her you spoke well and she explained and even went further to give you her whatsapp number I think she holds you in high esteem.

I told her you are the chairman of the driver forum group.

I still haven't gotten my money, please help me send her message to do it. She said if I don't get the money before 12pm yesterday she will send it herself. I haven't gotten it yet

Prince3:

@adsmaster won't you confirm for us if the woman has paid you or not. You lay complain come disappear...

Freshprince91:


@1daboi, are you interested?
I'm calling it quit December 31st by God's grace.
Its like one need a special kind of training to drive in Lagos : from LASTMA's trap to a girl stealing my money in my car arm rest to FRSC sitbelt fine.
Nna, i am tired, i cannot come and kill myself.
In between there's something i have observed within 3 months of my Ehailing journey : there are good days you'll get tired of accepting requests. I mean using a 3400 naira fuel to gross 18k like i did yesterday and there were days, that amount of fuel won't gross 10k, you'll just chin up and take it as one of those days.
I think I'll write a book soon titled 'The Perils of driving in Lagos '
Dem don show me pepper for this work.

1daboi:
@freshprince, I've seen and known you. The next people I'll like to see are, tojah,chillex, izzou, pope, in fact,all yo! we all need to chill at a lounge and close this year over some bottles. Whatchu think?

Rubbiish:

@bold it is not only in Lagos my brother, it is a general thing, but I agree Lagos own is worse. It is only in Nigeria u will not see No parking sign & touts will jump out from no where claiming wrong parking and demanding fine. So much lawlessness, everyone is just after money, no prior warnings, In civilize countries, often times when u park wrongly u will be asked to move, but in Nigeria money must leave u, quite unfortunate.

pope191:


We r together boss... Tojahh is not online today, he's k*lling OCar right now, while uncle Izzuo and Aunty Pee r in d ozza room doing rehearsal.

pope191:


boss abeg no make me laff, I don't think sorry can soften ur heart at dis point. How much did she steal? I tot I share my sitbelt experience, so we all can pick one or few things from it. I wish we can talk on some spiritual reasoning, cos if a car owner like u is feeling dis way, I wonder wot someone on rental will do. Las las, dis experience is life, u can't b wise/sound without trying times.

adsmaster:


What a coincidence my message dropped same time you asked me if she had paid and I had not read your message or new you were going to ask if she has paid. I was just having the urge to inform the forum that she has paid.

Thanks prince (the chairman of the forum, "a force man" )

Prince3:

Boss, your 250k too much for down payment. If I have that kind of money I will save and go into rental. When the money completes 1.5m, I will my own car...

1daboi:
I was at o car office today (jobi fele way) mehn, the whole onboarding process looks like a joke to me. Even the training was as if we were in a market.

ajoks533:


Baba my arm and leg dey ready to pay and drive the car away from him if he is willing to let go...

Freshprince91:



You have a point bro.
I don't think my destiny is cut out for this hustle anymore.
The seatbelt issue is beyond me as i do not have words for it : because i made sure the lady strapped the belt before we left Magodo and midway through our journey, she complained of stomach upset and asked if i could pull over and help her adjust her seat, which i did, she even made mockery of me, trying to sneak in between her Legs. I guess it was that discomfort that made her loosed it, hoping to put it back before she fell asleep and I didn't notice because i was so fixated on my phone, trying to hide it from FRSC (Google map offence).
She tried to make a case for herself when my car was flagged down but those FRSC officials were not having any of her pleas, i was just looking like a zombie devoid of what to say.
Regarding the petty thief that stole my 5400 naira from the car arm rest, she must have seen the wads of cash when i opened the armrest for her to make use of the car charger. So, when my car battery misfired and i pulled over to fix it, she stole the money and i had no premonition it happened until the next rider asked for 100 naira to buy bottled water , that was when i knew i have been robbed.

Exactly my question, I thought drivers use to show the fare displayed to the rider?

PuZZyNegro:


My car blows alarm whenever any front seater, be it driver or passenger removes their seat belt so I can hardly get caught unaware.

Please, who pays for toll on Ocar. I argued with my last riders on who should pay. I told them they were supposed to pay since its Ocar but they said that the previous two drivers paid for it.

I want to know if they've integrated toll on Ocar

kodred:


If bolt gave him a discount of 900 for using card payment, how come they still debited his account of the complete N2700? Something is not right.

kodred:


Actually bro 250k is not too much. No be charity work investor come do. He/she needs a form of security. 250k is just 10% na.

Saving on the job is quite hard bro. The way you dey stone figures, e dey be you like say if you see car you go save that money sharp sharp ba? Lol until you enter, then you’ll know.

Babadee1900:
I might end up beating a rider one day . Let me share my experience yesterday.

So I picked this lady and her friend yesterday night inside Bakare Estate, when I accepted her request I called her to tell her I was outside because I was parked just where she booked from, asked her where her destination is but she ended the call, I sensed trouble. I waited 5 minutes to call her again to come out and also confirm destination as I have no intention of going out of Island or go anywhere near Ikate at that time.

When she came with her friend they entered the car and I asked once again where is your destination before I start trip, she said why am I asking her that, shebi I'm supposed to take her to anywhere she's going.

I told her its past 8pm, there are some areas I dont go to at this time, then said okay I'm going to Banana Island. So I started the trip and I saw that we are just 20mins away from destination, in my mind I said this girl must be joking.

We passed through freedom way to link Admiralty way, just around Davida Mall, map said you have arrived, I looked back and told her we've arrived. Na there arguement start.

She said "does this place look like Banana Island to you".. haa to slap you right now just they hungry me. I told her her babe this is the destination you have in your order, and here we are, if truly you are going to Banana Island you would have put the correct location, so you can update the trip or I end this one and you order for another ride.

She said I'm not been professional, because I told her I thought she's been sarcastic when she said she's going to banana Island and all I could see is Admiralty way.

This is someone who was feeling reluctant to tell me her destination and you expect me to tell you map is showing Admiralty way? Not my business.

Told her to update, and she couldn't do that just because she doesn't know how to but was forming posh and speaking grammar, I just engaged her properly, clear am say if she's not updating to her preferred destination I'm ending the trip, this time we are already getting close to Ikoyi Link bridge, she now said she's not going to pay me that I would have to go to Bolt office to collect my money.
I just parked, look to the back and said babe do I look like a joke to you? If I end this trip here and you fail to pay me, I am driving you down to the nearest police station.

All the while her friend didn't utter a word, when she heard police station, she said calm down, can you update the trip from your end, I said yes, she said pls do. I updated and proceeded to Banana Island.

So I noticed that she's never been there before, a guy invited her and she's going with her friend and babe was lieing to her boyfriend that she just closed from work and going home.
