Buffers, those things are pretty hard to come by.

DEGREE2466:
Ma'am, I need your assistance to ship a phone from the United States to Nigeria. I will order the phone on eBay/Amazon and have it sent to your address so you can help me send it down to Nigeria.

All costs will be covered by me. Please, let me know if you can help.

Let me help Aunty RadAutoWorks reply.

This is not right for several reasons.

For one, you are soliciting someone who you don't know personally and who doesn't know you personally too to help you ship a product from the US to Nigeria. It's a security risk no one - including yourself - will take on behalf of someone not known to them.

There are shipping services out there you can use — UPS, DHL, ShoptoMyDoor etc. They will help you get your product down to Nigeria from Amazon even faster than @RadAutoWorks will do.

Lastly, I'm not insinuating anything. Please don't be offended.

Anyone's got a vehicle and is willing to partner with a driver on bolt?

I'm available in Lagos. Kindly quote this to get in touch and I'll be with you shortly

This is exactly how the operate. I'm certain it was same people that accustated me and my Riders. Same method, same pattern. Except I loss on both side seriously.

I was at circle mall ShopRite Jakande when a request came in. It was alady on corper uniform and her guy friend. Two respectable looking lovebirds. I drove across the spacious packing lot to their position. They were followed by an attendant of one of the restaurant where they just came out. As they entered the guy whispered to me to lend them N3k so they could settle the attendant. I had no problems to assist them, they look very responsible.

Anyways, the trip startd destination was Novare ShopRite sangotedo. Which sounds corky, from ShopRite to ShopRite, but none of my business. The two sat behind jisting away with no worries. They were secondary school mates getting together after a very long time. The guy stays up north while the lady was serving her father land in Lagos.

We stopped at VGC traffic light just before the light turned green, a man appeared from nowhere and stood in front of my car signalling us to stop. They guided me to pack at the side of the road and they were knocking on the windows for us to open. I looked at my Riders the girl was scared to hell, and guy was just normal, for me, I was confused, I thought they were robbers, but certainly not in the open because people have started gathering.

I rolled down my window, they were busy barking orders for us to open the doors, of which I told my Riders not to, I became confrontational.
"Who are you" I barked back,
"we are men of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC, Have you heard of the EFCC before?"
"Eh" was all I could utter.
"Good, is not you we after, driver. We are after your passenger, please step out of the vehicle and go and enter that car"

The ordered the young guy into another car and one of them joined us in the front seat, he ask me to drive and follow their own corolla. We drove towards Abraham Adesanya round about, turned and started heading back to Ajah. That was when I said no I can't continue with the journey, they rider should settle me and let me find my way. The guy with us called his colleagues and after the talked, the man asked me not to end the trip that the rider will surely pay me, that we are going to EFCC office at Ikoyi. That the guy has refused to cooperate so they're taking him in. I and the corper girl asked him what has the guy done wrong, the man said the guy is a member of a bigger syndicate of yahoo boys and they have complete info on him and a number of his contacts. He's not the only one, they're taking them one by one, he continued to say.

He began to ask the corper girl how she knew him. The girl claimed he was a secondary school mate, they just got together after about 9 years, so she can't really vouch for his activity. The man adviced her keep far away from him. And she was like why, why must she keep away, he is her friend etc me, I just kept driving. We passed VI, climbed the bridge connecting Ikoyi, got to Gerard road made U-turn, got to falomo under bridge round about turned right towards Awolowo rd, then the guy asked me to pack at the first bus stop. The guy was busy on call with his colleagues, after a while they came and took the corper girl leaving me and the EFCC guy in the front seat. We waited for another 10mins, they brought the yahoo guy back to join us in the car. The EFCC guy Infront asked me to drive forward, when we got to the first Traffic light on Awolowo rd he asked me to make a U-turn. We drove towards the falomo under bridge then parked at a busstop a distance to the famolo under bridge. We waited there for good 1 hour, no one spoke. The yahoo guy was at the back , looking behind me at him, he was like he was almost crying.

Then a call came in the EFCC guy asked me to drive forward towards the falomo under bridge round about, we stopped and waited Infront of the filling station by the right, police men on uniform will appear to arrest us for wrong packing because we were actually causing holdup at the back, the effcc guy will wave them away and ask me to park right there and ignore the horns and abuses from other drivers.

After a long wait they came back with the corper girl, as the girl got in, the guy in the front came down and they asked us to go. I drove us back towards Lekki to a new destination Osapa London estate. The corper girl was frightened and the yahoo guy was furious, calling and alerting his crew. Me I was like my money. While he was on call I overheard his crew member telling him that it was the Uber driver that set you up. Once he ended his call, na so this yahoo guy face me. That he had to settle those guys N200,000 cash, that they used the corper girl to go and withdraw the money which explains the waiting period at the busstop.

This yahoo guy insist that I mustn't drop them at his home. So they alighted along the street. I end trip N5100 +N3000=N8100, yahoo guy said he has no money. Those magu boys took it all and he began to promise that he will surely pay me. He asked that I promise not to harass his corper girlfriend since she was the one that requested me. I and the guy we still chat and talk, but about other things, he said he never hammer.

I simply told him to change his lifestyle. I wonder if he was hushpuppi crew.

moral of the lesson; EFCC now receive bribe like police. it's finished

Na today. Let's not even talk of selective justice. Mind you chasing evry tom dick and Harry entering Uber
and all everything they are doing is illegal but of course the so called Yahoo men can't defend themself. They must shake cos thier phones reeks of mess and they can't reason invest

Buy direct Toks and rest, except you are buying genuine OEM new part then you can buy the new one.

How can one be sure that he's buying a direct tokunbo spare part

Felicity0001:
You dey talk lile say touts no dey ph, c I schooled, live and hustled in ph for many years, ph touts n9 dey reason u weda u wear the oooh.... Dont even do the mistake to pick passengers at ruomokoro, ruomola, artillery, waterline, eleme junctions if thwm catch you na council you go c urself.

I once paid 15k to their secretary who happened to be my set mate in Uniport just because I tried to do solo at ruomokoro junction.

Apart from that, there're lot of dead zones in rivers state you dont dear drive to else militant will kidnap you and can even kill their victim simply because of 20k ransom.

One of our drivers was beheaded somewhere in ogbagry (I murdered the spelling) for trying to go rescue a site at night.

Though, rivers state has good roads and rivers women sabi body well well. When oil was still oil a lot of taxi guys built house within 6months in RS (that's those wey no belong to set awon oven lighters gangs) but right now, with schools under indeffinate lock down trust me Ph, RS is not the place to be because no Uniport no movement in Ph.

Like I earlier said, they harass local taxi's that do pick and drop along the road. For cars as clean as what we have under bolt, never have I heard of harassment. For now most drivers know the no go areas of the state due to the insecurity issues. Myself just commute within the state capital and to other nearbys where I know its safe. Despite closure of schools, uniport and ust as u said, we still get relatively good requests even though its not as it used to be. The drought is relatively felt everywhere so it's not as if it's just ph. I don't know when you last visited this state but alot has changed.

The money cannot be compared to Lagos due to how wide Lagos is. For now we just work in the state capital and close environs.
For your driver that got beheaded, I believe there is alot to that story to what you are telling us cos I don't see how they'll kidnap and behead someone unprovoked.

Tbh, I don’t know. Get yourself a trusted mechanic and you should be fine.

What I did was made friend with one guy (mechanic) in Oyingbo. Anytime I need a part, he’s the one that takes me to the place where I’ll get the best.

Sorry about this ordeal. But I don't think anyone has the right to order you to come along with them or convey a criminal or their associate in your car. I repeat, NO ONE HAS THAT RIGHT.

Next time, once police or EFCC get into your car and start interrogating a rider to the point of arresting him, end the trip there, demand your fare from the suspect and tell them to leave your car. They came with their car, let them deal with the suspect whichever way they want. Walk away from it as fast as you can. No need of you following them up and down which can even land you in court as a witness and more legal tussles that may follow.

Maybe, it's just me though, but I wouldn't move an inch with them in my car when I have no business with the suspect other than him being a total stranger and a passenger.

freshvine:
I for like we talk on this bolt thing. I stay in ph.

okay. Send a pm

What a terrible experience?
SARS, EFCC, LASTMA, VIO, POLICE, TASK-FORCE, CARJACKERS, FRSC & TOUTS are all targeting any Corolla they sight on the road, the risk involved in this ehauling hustle far outweighs the penny that comes out of it.

Pls house , does uber and taxify accept this ??
Its 2003

ThuGnificenX:
I don't work everyday, but on average u can net above 15k daily. Na positioning. For accommodation, ph right now is far better than Lagos, u get the value for your money. Houses here are cheap and cost of living is relatively lower than Lagos. Forget the stories of old, 300 naira meal can get you by on a daily. The best thing about ehailing here is that no distractions whatsoever. The roads are good too in the most part.

oh, really? have been thinking of relocating to PH or abuja, no I'm a potential new driver, kindly advice...the car will be on HP

thanks
