chibjohn: Apparently someone fraudulently claimed to be chibjohn and collected my gift. This is not me in the picture. I had not made any attempt in collecting the scanner since last year because of time. I normally have time to come around Lekki only on sundays and Radautoworks is closed on sundays. I was planning to go collect it tomorrow and had to call Blessing(the logistic manager who sent me her number via mail then)to tell her this morning. She mentioned that she thinks all the gifts has been issued out but that she will go via her list and confirm. On coming here, I noticed that someone has claimed the gift for winner 5 which is supposed to be me. If the guy intentionally claimed to be winner 5(chibjohn) and it was not out of mistake, then he is a fraud. This isn’t me in that picture. Please email for clear picture of the guy and ask blessing how they knew it was him. |

dru23: Yes agree not for private parties to rent to each other. But that rental option is there for people that can't afford their own cars or whatever reason it might be ....And people are rushing those cars in my state.. It was a friend of mine that told me about it ..
I was shocked when he said it .. He said at times no cars will be available.. He said the company had over 700 cars . This was like 3 years ago..... just like mooove. I'll say it again. Uber wasn't meant for private party rentals |

The company has over 700 cars, so when people say uber was not design for rental model I just shake head.. ... through Uber but not for private parties to rent to each other. Haba dru |

Pearl1910: U may be right but Uber operates differently in different countries even within America, they have different features and modes of operation in the different states. This Rentals style in Nigeria is an intentional plan and design from the beginning . Agree to disagree  |

Pearl1910: Let me speak for Uber Nigeria which I know.
Uber initially had a program that paired drivers that needed cars with partners that needed drivers. Officially.
As a Partner, from your account u can manage your fleet, see all your driver's performance, the trips they took and their daily earnings.
Infact if u want to go the Fleet Manager route, all ur drivers' weekly payment enters your bank account as the partner. Then u and driver will do counter balance as the case may be.
All those functions and systems you are referring to are in place. So we can say without a doubt that Uber Nigeria is aware, designed and sanctions Rentals. While I appreciate the information, that doesn't change the fact that Uber Nigeria was an ad hoc response to something that was never intended. |

Crvrider: I disagree. In this part of the world I think their business model was designed to fit rentals. Without rentals it would have been very difficult for uber to function in this climate. Any other model that is not rentals will not work in Nigeria for the simple reason that the percentage of car owner-drivers will not meet the demand. the Uber model was never designed for rentals. If it was, functions would have been built in the app for transparency to both parties. Nigerians did what they did best and tried to make more money out of someone's business model and this confusion is the result. Why all these issues? Because owners cannot verify renter trips and have no access to view. Of it was, rental agreements could be based on percentages to make it fair to ask parties but it is not. Why? BECAUSE UBER WAS NOT BUILT FOR THIS. Uber would never have expected drivers to rent vehicles for this purpose (and in other countries it actually disqualifies you from driving). Uber would have never expected two drivers to share an account. Uber would never have expected all the creative saka which is why there are loopholes in the software. They never encountered such. Uber would have never expected drivers to request themselves which is why in other countries there is no problem with having both driver and rider app to my knowledge. Nigerians did what they do best and shocked the crap out of Uber  |

Felicity0001: Just imagine the greed in your last paragraph as bolded. So if a driver makes a net of 60k after all expenses so he deserves just 20k alone for driving minimum of 9hrs daily while owner that invested 1.5m then and 2.5m now should take 40k ba! because he bares all of the risk? Can you see how selfish your submission is?
No look at it this way, lasma arrested me i paid 12k, vio I paid 10-15k, police, 2-5k, other like airport 2-3k.
Two nights ago I paid 1.5k, yesterday i paid 2k all to police...in a week no ye ooh... All the time I drove for partners (I've 3 partners here on thos forum) never a time I called any of them to come to my rescue apart from once to my former partner... Some of the times it was 10k, 5k, accident 10k, 5k and so on and so forth. And you're saying I should still give you 40k out of 60k net i made in the week... What can be more wicked than that? When at the end of the yr the car still belongs to you...
Oga if the kitchen is too hot for you pls leave... The business was not design for rental in the first place but due to economic crisis and challenges it's why we Nigerians now commercialized it to job like. .. So if you have a car abeg go with the hp terms otherwise look for something else to do or better still drive all your car yourself. You can register all in your profile and alternate them all different days in a week. Simple! FINALLY someone stated the obvious |

Mind you we also have foreigners who make use of the app here in 9ja and never for once have I heard them asking such questions... What they do is call to inform you of their whereabouts not even asking of your location. IMO, THAT'S the ruder one. "I summon thee to my location.

Felicity0001: You can't ve wrong about this... GMap have a large room to improve i must say, the world is fast developing and people tend to make use of these services and patronage is always on the increase, so a need to step up their game.
I have experience a lot on your experiences shared trying to pick up riders and the smart once always call to inform me GMap will direct me through the wrong path but some wicked one will just request, throw their phones into the couch or bed and jump into the bathroom for a quick shower leaving the driver to hover around finding his way.
To some large extent I like the bolt riders app, for those rider who understand their environs well they watch the driver on their rider's app to see if he's doing the right navigation to them and if he makes the wrong turn they quickly call to redirect him... Ive had several cases like this and have also taught riders how to use it as well.
So in a but share, yje question "where are you?" Without any form of salutation to me is not welcome, it creates a wrong impression about the person even b4 pickup... Off course I won't tell you but I may not rate the person all 5star at the end.
Also, google should do more by updating their app. I agree with bolded. I usually say "hi, where are you?". Never thought it might come across as rude. I thought I was just being efficient. |
