I hope this is an attempt at sarcasm.

No sarcasm bro; Coro is a hoax, doesn't exist.

Felicity0001:

I actually thought I've seen it all only for me to experience the height of them all just few minutes back.

After buying and changing two tyers at ladipo, I got this request going to ketu.

I put a call through immidiately I entered the PU area. Rider said he was off the street but walking down to my location so I should drive down to No8 on thw street. Made a turn and parked in a safe place waiting.
After like 2min rider was no where to be found, I called again but this time he said I'd past him so I should come back a little, I was like but you said you're already coming why not just walk down and meet me up because this street is so narrow with double parking on it but rider said he was carrying a pot of soup along.
Me: a pot of soup?!! Sorry I'm not going.
R: ok, cancel.
I cancelled with the option of I don't wish to serve this rider.
Immediately after his request came in again, I've to accept with the vail of wait for 5min before cancelling but he cancelled. This happened like twice. The 3rd one I did likewise and while waiting for the 5min to cancel I saw a littlw boy within the age of 16-18 years.

R: with a rude voice, why do you keep accepting my request when you already said you're not going, can you cancel the trip.
Me: still trying to think of what to saynto the little boy due to its smallishness and rudeness and I that could entered my mind to tell h8m while he was still ranting at yhe top of his voice was "I'll cancel when I'm ok to do". It was like that was a bomb on his ears
R: are you fucking kidding me I said cancel.... He was still shouting and insulting.
I just looked at him and then started my car engine turned on the AC and rolled up.

This time it was like I fueled the whole thing. Boy started to hit my side glass, like he knew it will break he then started to hit the door and aide mirrow to an extend that the croom guilding the glass pulled of... At this time people around that knows him started coming n calling him.

One Bros he explained to walked to me to ask what happened but I just kept quiet didn't say a word for like 5min.

To cut it shot, everybody on the street gathered begging me and almost beat him up na me com dey beg for am las las.

One elderly Bros said, baba any action I want to take I should let them know they will support me.

I then said, "the society we live produce the kind of people in it, if an arm rubber comes out of the society part from it being a personal choice it's also a function of the society because some persons in the society support and encouraged that child when he started stealing before growing up to became an highway rubber, in a nut shell, you all didn't support him so that's enough".

I arranged the little damage he caused, thanked all of them while they all both old, age mate and young thanked me, entered my car, took a deep breath, drank the remaining bottle water left in my water bottle and off I went.

Why didn’t you just go offline so the young man could book another driver?

Assuming you were in the midst of the wrong set of people (his guys), what would be the story? Them go arrest them surely, but how you go be after the assault?

You know what? I’m sorry. Flog any rider that errs. Discipline their soul join.

Nawa oooh...and I do park there ooh

abi I should go for bus?

Managing a Transportation biz is not an easy task. It comes with alot of challenges and requires due diligence and time. I dont know much about bus transportation but as for taxi like uber and taxify, patronage is very low at the moment, fares are not encouraging for someone to invest 1.5 million naira now. To recoup your investment is going to take you a long period of time because of cheap fares. And getting an honest and a good person is the soul and heart of this business which is very rare nowadays except if you wanna put the car up for higher purchase. Auto parts are very expensive now due to $1=N450. Bear in mind you will responsibe for repairs, if anything happens to the car you might spend alot from what the drivers delivers to you as weekly rent, which usually 20k-30k. If measures are not put in place you end up with out savings. In this Covid-19 period most drivers delivers 15k. Is not reasonable to put a car of 1.5million on the road and you re collecting peanut. From the looks of things business might pick during ember months and I would suggest wait till then or look for more profitable business to invest

I think today is my worst day ever on ehailing but in all I thank god1.

After driving out of that toxic situation with the little boy I stopped over at mobile filling station which is along the mushin-oshodi road just after NNPC close to Kappa bus stop. Bought fuel 2k. At the exit was where I waited with my engine and AC on to type while sharing my experience on this thread and reporting the incidence to bolt because the same boys request came in again, so I'd to cancel after 5min while reporting.

After all of these I off my app and head straight home, I went through agege link to Iju ishaga road, picked up a disable friend and droppes her at home before going back to Abule Egba. Just as I was about driving into my compound my fuel has gone back to reserve where it was b4 I refuel.

Brother man, run from anything mobile along that road.

Those yaba boys are at it again, they said my offence was, I wasn't putting on nosemask(I was only one in the car, and the AC was on too), they said I broke the law. Las Las nah 1k I spend there

N500 for gate
N500 to pump tyre

Bro, it has nothing to do with ego. No one with ego does this business in the first place, let alone doing over 1500 trips. I have met the good, the bad and the ugly. At the end of the day, we are all humans and can't keep eating shit because of money or to avoid being judged.

We also have a duty to change our community the best way we can. Sometimes, force may be the only option left. If we just sit there and keep watching our fellow humans behave like animals and mistreat us, then our reason for existence becomes irrelevant by our inaction.

It doesn't make sense to keep serving a community that abuses you. You have to make an effort to keep it in check, the smallest of effort may go a long way. Using a whip on an adult may not be the best, it's on the extreme, but don't sit there and watch yourself being bashed just because you only have money on your mind.

As for pepper spray, it's my first line of defense and everyone should have it. You just have to know where and when to use it. If you arrest me unjustly and I see that my path is clear, I'll pepper spray you, push you out of my car and make a run for it. Lagos is not where you allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to ram you up and down.

You’re supposed to be intelligent or street smart. When you call a rider, can’t you guess from their tone how their attitude might be? Yet sometimes after the perceived notion that this might be trouble, you accept the trip and come here later to lament how the rider maltreated and abused you. What were you expecting?

You can’t keep eating shit, simply quit and never get to deal with any ill-mannered rider. You want to use force to treat your fellow man or else your existence becomes irrelevant lol

Take deep breaths with your diaphragm bro. It’s really good for the mind and body. Cheers

Lastma guys are out to frustrate drivers this time around. No joke!

There’s this road off Ahmadu Bello way in VI that leads directly to Edo Liason office, it’s one of the regular spot you can park as a driver. I was there this afternoon but very close to the major Ahmadu Bello way that leads to Eko hotel.

I have not even spent upto 10 minutes there when one tout walked up to me and said ‘Alaye, O ri nkan ton shele abi ? ( Guy, can’t you see what’s happening?)

A quick glance through the side mirror, I saw lastma guys and their towing van behind me, they already blocked other drivers at my back.

The speed I used to start the car and zoom off from that place is legendary. I didn’t stop till I got to Lekki

Make una they careful o.

No offence intended nor meant please.

We're only trying to rub minds but if you feel offended by my words please I apologise

One love bro!

Ba wahala, that won is in d past, I only say so cos no one is above being blocked... Bolt head is doing over heating right now, if they block someone for this reason, how long will it take before everyone get dia fair share?


And for the issue you have today, I don't have d right to tell u what to do or not, but let's say in the spirit of one love. We need to b careful, Nigerians are emotional and aggressive folks, common false alarm of thief! Next u see people don bring tire and start to beat the person, sometimes we underestimate the power of peace. No one is perfect not even me, but when God give me grace to think twice, I ask myself if I'm normal... I once gave a car hot chase from ogudu to motor-way, until sometin rang in my head like, what if u let dis b? Another experience that crack me up was one happy day, as I try to avoid pothole, dis okoda came from no where, that kind of hit the rider on the okada with his wife blast on d car provoked me, I gave them a hot chase like I was about to knock them down... As we both pull over, I step out and go straight for the guy, damn! His wife was beating the car, no one borrow me sense, before I rush into d car and scared her away with the car, the devil in me still want to find a safe place, so I can come back for return leg, until I saw someone with big stone heading towards me they no they tell person, the highest I can get when we get to police station, is dragging agreement on how long it will take for them to pay for damage.


Note: As we keep saying riders r acting up, is same way riders r saying the same about drivers.

Nobody will have such impetus to pull such stunt without being in his/her area let alone a little boy that knows I could easily crush him like a tractor.

Guy, the matter happen for him area Adedokun Street, Mushin and if unfortunately the matter set trust men go show. As a matter of fact I don already place call to one or two persons b4 stepping out of the car so leave that talk about assault my mumu no reach that height.

Anywhere I find myself either in lagos, outta Lagos or Nigeria first thing I do is pin a tent of human defense, if e set na settlement go end am las las

Guy some riders are a disguise in their approach on phone why some are not.

Why are snakes regarded as one of the most dangerous animals on earrh? A cobra can hide in the sand just attack, how about a green snake? So drop it!.

2days ago a lady with calm gentle voice and with good manners kept me waiting for over 15mintues that was after several calls I'd put through to get the right PU address and even pee after arriving, came back to thw car call again. After about almost 20min of waiting I'd had to cancel after driving out. It took her another 10min before calling asking me where I was, still in her gentle and calm voice on the phone.

So guy hash all those preaches, you probably didnt meet the ugly once or maybe the good hadn't gone bad during the time you rode; I encourage you to do a 1 week test one of these days then come back and tell us how far.

Bafter option on transportation to invest in now is mini bus.

Before The ban on keke and bikes that bus used to be sold around 500-800k, right now I'm sure it must have gone as high as 1m. So you probably would want to consider that, daily balancing in some areas like GRA ikeja is about 5k. HP is about 2times the value. All you need do is carry out a comprehensive insurance and pray to get a good person.

But most importantly, pray about any business you want to go into this period because I heard in the news LASG is making plans of bringing in those mini busses next month or there about in large quantities to help fill the loop by the ban of bikes and keke.

So pray my dear friend, pray.

Looks like Uber have forgotten their rules. Just rated this fool 1star on Uber after I rejected her request for me to wait for her and take her back. A very rude bastard. Already on the express, another request came my way, didn't think twice about picking it, I was shocked it was the same girl I just dropped off. I didn't want to cancel because I have not been driving for some time, asked her to cancel and was met with serious insults plus death threats. Drove back to where I dropped her, thinking I'd still meet her there but she was no where to be found.

I go dey carry koboko for my car from this day forward. Koboko to flog stupid riders. Pepper spray for touts and Lastma. I really do not care if I get removed from the app. If you act any how because you are going to pay me peanut, you will be met with serious fire and fury. Fxxk that crazy talk about rider being king.

Ku ku ma stop driving!! Just tell everybody say u have tired and u can't can again

Fuel Pressure Regulator

All fuel-injected engines have fuel pressure regulators to maintain a regulated high-pressure level.
So, Fuel pressure regulators must keep the pressure constant; in order for all of the components of the fuel injection system to work properly.
And, If the pressure is out of this range then the vehicle will not run or will run inefficiently.
