It's about to go down, cheeeee. We need videos. For the culture.
The Acura is down!!! Car down!!!

First, needing new lifters after using non Carquest oil some months back when GIG logistic's madness reached it's peak. Then driver got t-boned by abattoir junker. Glen most recently somehow managed to smash side mirror and door. He's been beating himself up about it. Na Christmas tree I dey look so for cluster. I'm getting 8mpg! cry

The crappy part is to get my car into my own shop na problem. I no get appointment LMAO. Customer car is always chancing me.

So far list of repairs:
1) lifters -might as well do full rebuild
2) oxygen sensors
3) catalytic converter
4) front and rear shocks
5) pretty much everything suspension related front passenger side
6) air bag light (cousin dropped car in gutter)
7) power steering light
8 ) traction light
9) tpms light
10) drivers side mirror
11) driver's side door
12) full paint job (my baby don suffer in my absence chai)

Maybe I should accelerate buying a new car and not let ANYONE drive it SMH

I don't know o.. But fake they everywhere my brother.. The point is we now have a new customer.. the guy bought 5w30 for his Rx Lexus.... What got me surprise is when he said that they sell those fake oil at trade fare.. I didnt really think trade fare sells fake stuff like dat.. I heard about it,but was not 100% sure.. I guess we learn something new everyday
Don't laugh but my head was badly burnt by fake relaxer from trade Fair. I got excited to see my usual brand there without having to import and bought... never again.

I hope you can say that again if one of the killed drivers were to be someone dear to you, how can you compare our job with yours? Is there anything life threatening in your line of work? Drivers died because they went by the rules and didn't ask for/ couldn't reject trips to destinations they shouldn't have and you expect us not to learn from that all because of Ts and Cs.
Nigerian soldiers that ran away from boko haram in sambisa, was it in the contract they signed that they should run from insurgents?
I've carried uber staffs before and I asked for destination not even knowing they were staff, yet they didn't block me because my way of approach didn't warrant being blocked so I dont know why y'all are fighting the fight for uber, leave them let them chase us from their platforms if they're not satisfied with our level of professionalism, it's not in riders place to tell me to find another platform, is it ya platform? undecided
If it's that dangerous then don't do it!

I told them to stop 3 UBER cars with those documents they mentioned and i will go my way . They couldn't. They said it is the driver they have business with and not me. Because driver was kinda scared.

They offered to book another uber for me. I refused. Told them I only trust the driving skills of this particular man.

One of them said this kind man dey put person for wahala.

Na so they free the man. Baba don call me taya to thank me.

This Lagos?. We die here!.

Do you think drivers derive joy doing that. A lot of riders are just mannerless. Back then, I went to pick someone in one of those estates, I took uber route because I've never been there, only for me to get to the gate and I was told it's for only residents. I called back the man, and he gave the phone to a lady who directed me where I should take and that would mean coming out of the Lekki expressway, go down the roundabout, turn and follow another route which was quite long. I explained to the lady and asked her to kindly cancel and she refused saying I ought to know that the gate is for residents only. I just drove beside the fence and canceled and surprisingly saw 400 Cancellation fee and whistled away. Later she texted me to return the money or else she will report to Uber. I didn't just reply and Uber did nothing. By the way that was Surge period and she will definitely get another driver. If it wasn't for the surge, I may as well have refused to cancel so as not to affect me activity score.

Just before quitting the hustle, I once set destination to Lekki, and Uber gave me a lady going to the airport early in the morning around 5:20am. I followed the map and realized that due to road construction, the road to her street had been blocked off and I called her to verify, she so shouted on me that she's late and bla bla bla and ended with 'my friend follow so so and so Street and come here fast' [s](I guess 'my friend' here is a compliment according to some of you) [/s] I simply drove away and she started calling after after I had crossed the bridge towards 3MB. She sent text about reporting to Uber I just laughed and didn't reply. (maybe I should have called her prostitute grin).

Now after that first scenario happened accidentally, I then knew how the cancelation can work in my favour. What does it take for a rider to cancel; nothing but ego!
No, it hurts the rider too to cancel. Every time an Uber tried to charge me like that by hovering nearby for 5 minutes, I filed a dispute and always got my money back. That's overseas Sha

You want good shocks and you also want drivers to always take you through bad roads, with the peanuts you're paying. It's like you dont know this is business, you think we're good samaritans doing charity work abi. If uber can be maintaining my car there's no road I will not ply to get you to yodestination
I don't think you guys are hearing us. We don't have a problem if you want to cherry pick. Just don't do it after signing a contract that addressed the exact situation. Nigerians will be told the conditions of a deal and will accept with the midset of re-negotiating after service or adhering only to the portions they like. That's why before we do any work customer must sign estimate or email acceptance of estimate. One company did and still came back when payment was requested telling my staff they will be by to negotiate the bill. I took over the transaction and informed the company there is no negotiation after signing estimate and I would reject their repairs in the future. Na Kia Kia full payment remit. Mmmchew

Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't look for loopholes. I don't half commit to things. Either local man can or local man cannot. There is no local man cannot can.

If you signed the agreement posted above and know it doesn't work for you, find another platform.

It only takes 5 minutes of my time, I'm doing you a favour by asking you to cancel so as not to waste your time. If I'm to cancel, I will slide "arrived" and wait for 5 minutes, it won't have any effect on my activity rate
And it's dishonest but apparently acceptable to you guys. So when a mechanic tells you he spent two days instead of one and a half I hope you won't complain

You don't use research of a product from the company that manufactures it. What is the percentage of nicotine in your product?

I want to assume most drivers don't look at the riders ratings again. Once I see u have a low rating and you are a lady, I will just prepare my mind, if your tune on d phone is somehow
I will either cancel without telling u or go their and ignore any insult.
I've dropped a unilag girl before with plenty loads in d booth and she said oga pls help me bring my bags to d house and she went inside.
I sat in d car for minutes not knowing what to do?
Las las I carry bag inside oh. Saw her gisting with her friends on bed.
Uber says I shouldn't do that, but did it for peace
I never expect Uber drivers to help me with bags because I know they are not chauffers. They are private individuals giving people rides for a fee. Overseas they don't help you with bags and we don't expect them to. Some nice ones do but it's not part of the job description. Rider's protect their ratings there because no one will come carry you. I suggest you guys start doing the same if you're not already doing so. Rating can be seen BEFORE accepting the trip
