I have a question....

Why isn't the Prius a popular vehicle for e-hailing in Nigeria considering it's brilliant fuel economy, sleek interior and exterior design, great handling and control and other things it's good for.....

I could Google it but I'll most likely get a diplomatic answer, i just want to understand the experience of someone who's used it or something like it.


Thanks

The truth is Prius fuel economy is top notch atleast I drove one from Abeokuta to Lagos with less Dan 7 litres of fuel.

But wen it comes to the technician around and battery parts you will suffer it.

And again 99% of Kazeem can't handle it wen it comes to electrical faults.

N.B my bro still has one parked since last year after he got tired of it

Felicity0001:
So we still have people who knows and like good things like me... The last time I bought a car perfume of 2k many criticised me saying I lack good savings skills and will hardly prosper in life... Can you imagine?... Poverty has eaten deep into d minds of many. The g.o.a.t even advised me to use the N200 aboki perfume he uses... Inside life... When people can fit into your shoes they instead wish you downgrade to their poor low life. God forbid!

Greatness is in the mind. Its how you see and place yourself you will become in life.

Just about 3weeks ago I went shopping for some clothing, bought some nice suits and pant trousers, I wore one of the suits to work after Sunday service and all of my riders rated me 5stars without asking.

I read how a lot are emaciating like small letter "i" simply because they have decided to be selfish and wicked to their own stomach by eating junks like gala and coke, very soon they'll be diagnosed of diabetics. Make una eat Jamiacan Rice from radautoworks you say no (its just 3k), ok I offered to buy for them only 2persons mailed me and got their meal, heaven no fell. Eating healthy and eating well doesn't make one poor rather rich. Health is Wealth.

To you that has been eating gala, N100 meatpile prepared with rat meat and sold by those obalende Ghana boys and you that is using N200 aboki perfume, watching your car by yourself after driving for almost 18hrs daily, have you build a house? How many cars do you have on rental?

To that federal g.o.a.t that claims to be a millionaire catfish grower and still drive on Bolt coming from Anambra, who do you think you're deceiving? Fish farm requires more time than any other livestock farming the earlier you go back to your village and take care of your fish the better for you, else your supposed workers will feed your fish with gamanin while you're here trying to move Lagos to Anambra.

Nonsensical nonsense!!!

Hmmmm dis is another Royal Rumble in d making.... Chaiii chaiiiii.


*Grabs my seat and popcorn*

davit:
My people, I eventually took my car for allignment this morning which solved the issue I complained about. Thanks to all who showed concern.

Good for U... Uwc

Hmmmmm.... Dis felicity self... Just take a deep breathe, cos for d last 7 pages, dis thread had been fantastic.


Biko resist d urge to shalaye

davit:
I changed the ball joint and linkages today before the experience.

Bros do d allignment first... Cos dats is what I feel is d major culprit

Felicity0001:
How would you call an experience someone had twice false? Always learn to pass your views, descriptions or opinions euphemistically when you're speaking or trying to make an impression or correction.



Anyways, let's leave it at that. Maybe I was having some bad days.

Not once not twice, change of destination wit surge and d multiplier effect is still same.

Logically, it's not ok for d multiplier effect to change, unless is anoda Uber App U re talking about

shollywendy1:
Where did you get this info from abt uber?
I still picked and dropped off on 2.0x surge on tuesday from southerview estate by conservation center to agric ikorodu.
She decided to update the trip back to southernview wen we got to ikorodu, still carrying the surge estimated fare.
Trip was showing 16k- 20k when she tried to update back before she begged for an offline back to lekki. And it has always been like that for the past 3 yrs i have been driving on uber.

I wonder where dey usually get all dis false info, on Uber I can say it, anything U carry on Surge either rider changed destination or You changed destination, d surge multiplier remains constant all through d Journey.

I once took a trip from Chevron drive on 1.7X to Ojota, from Ojota I changed destination to Marina, from Marina to VI,from VI back to Chevron, in all dese stops, I was d one changing d destination and wen got to Chevron, I calculated the distance covered and Time spent on trip manually, so as to Knw if am going to do fare review but lo ans behold UBer calculator was 120 naira higher Dan mine, so I ended trip @17,150 rider paid 17k and I move.


Like I said On Uber I have tried dis well we'll, but BOLT app I don't trust dem too much priority to Riders ( so best shot on BOlT allow d rider to update)

PuZZyNegro:
Why 60k? How much will court award for such offense? Is it the fear of the unknown that makes people agree to this outrageous fees.

Once U re guilty of One way traffic offence in Lagos, d penalty is Property forfeiture and 20hrs of community service.... Stay alert

I once paid ova 200K for such offence after court appearance.

Car was placed on auction but miraculously I was helped and later paid dat Fine

dru23:
Thanks bro.....send me your number via my email dru23@hotmail.com , I might need new drivers in the near future.....but for now all my drivers are doing ok with their 20k rental .... 1 of my driver is married with kids and family, he seems to have sense and I doubt he will drive out of Lagos without informing my team ... The other seems ok for now and all paying 20k naira rental ....So far no issues at all ...

How I wish , I would have love To drive for You, cos I just like d way U do ur biz with open hands and d maintenance on ur cars re top notch.... But Local Man is out of Uber/ Taxify Hustle till further notice.

Thumbs up Sir!!!!

But seriously I was shocked d way @Dru managed d situation, U really amazed me, keep.it up

pope191:
U forgot to blur the first pix and it's unfair protecting yours and leaving the man's plate number open to d world.

Boss u have lot of work to do I guess, being defensive always, is a sign of nothing, but weakness. I need to get some rest, but I want u to bear this in mind as u shut ur eyes to sleep tonight "There's always a room to grow".

But ur first step is learning to ignore and focus your energy on what's important.

U said it all.... All dese explanations back and forth to me is just rubbish. #peace out#

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I wished I drove for Dru back then.

I don't know, but he seems like a very good partner.

Anyways, today go sweet for here...Make I focus on top this matter

[/color]

Hmmmmmm na dis matter ooo but I will Neva put my mouth tillll further notice I remain a spectator on dis mata

deedee44:
God bless you. Our people panic too much, confront these maniacs and watch them crawl back into their shells. *Just make sure they have no evidence against you*.
You could have parted with a huge amount just like that

At the bolded... Extremely important, Arrest me illegally I will make sure U also feel the heat without paying a dime.

Small gist

I was in Census area sometimes around February, very close to NYSC Secretariat and I knw dat d side of dat NYSc Secretariat U can park but d other side na No parking, chilling and waiting for my rider, dats hw d council guys jumped on me... Follow d convo

Council man: roll.down ur glass, Y did U park here bla nlaa...
Me: I answered him is d Oda side U cannot park
Council man: (with dere normal gist ,let's go to our office, if U re first offender U will go)...

Fast forward we got to there office and instantly dey brought out 20K ticket, I just laugh, dey asked me to bring d money or dey deflate my tyres, long story short..,I said dey can deflate it.

I told Dem I am coming to get the money, went outside to buy drinks and relax my head,came back and asked for dere legal office, last last I gave Dem 300 naira Dem tell me to carry my wahala and go...

One thing do not panic and always be sure of ur offence.

mrjaydee:
Pay the driver 1200, if he insists report him he's a thief.

Seconded

jpworld:
1st option.

Vision245 might be preparing fake receipt for his defense, reason the delay.

2nd option

He is married to a village girl that doesn't know how to operate fone with camera, reason the delay.

I followed dis whole saga from beginning and all I can see from ur comment+s) is/are just hate and bitterness and whereas one naira U no contribute.

So just safe urself of HBP sir and leave anoda person's mata alone . Thanks


NB: I will Neva respond to U even if U like throw d abuse of d whole world.

Cheers

Luxurydriverng:
Who has experienced this on bolt app?

Cant accept incoming requests despite having good network. See screen shot

Go on airplane mode, force stop all apps and start all over again or simple one restart ur fone

chillex8:
No.
Same reason you can’t receive an Uber request on a bolt driver app.

Simple direct and concise answer

northbird:
The 2017-2020 model of cars won't work.

For crying out loud, this is a developing country with a state that is still grappling with infrastructure.....

The economy of Lagos state can't support it.

States with advanced economies , California, New York ,Helsinki. don't even make such categorizations.

Any money miss road investor that buys 2017/2020 cars for dis biz will whine n sulk for a long time.


As an operative of any ehailing app, you have to keep moving from one point to another intermittently and that subjects the car to d rigours of wear and tear.

The Baba's with d rickety Volkswagen n Mazda and the traditional airport/ car hire know this Eternal truth. Hence, they park and only move when there is an order/ reservation.,that way they can reduce wear and tear.

Exactly!!!

shollywendy1:
Lol great observant. It was just coincindence.
You guys are just getting my point wrong on this issue.
I never liked nigerian Govt talkless of LASG. Because they never got anything right. I was only disappointed in Uber/bolt for claiming to be paying tax from the 25%/20% commision they charge on every trip. Reason why i said if they can charge such % from us easily, why cant they pay the govt the 10% tax?
If you have met me in real life, you will know how much i hate Nigerian govt and every uniform men in naija. I dont listen to nigerian news because all their informations are bad news.
Anywhere LASG and uber/ bolt like make them drag demselves go. They are all slave masters.
You guys should calm down. Im not on the side of both uber and LASG.
That was just my own opinion on the matter.
Though, we all look but see differently.
Angryigbodon calm down.
Chucsmoore je bure
Sainthillary it never reach to abuse me.

Legend show!!!!....

Felicity0001:
I just did something very bad now but if I can handle it to the very last I won't regret it all.

After my last post I got a trip to magodo via set destination to Abule-Egba. 1.5km to drop off another request came in 6.3km (had I known I wouldnt have picked it.

Rider didnt call till I droppes of and time was 9:51pm already. Dropped off and the. GMap says 3.8km to pickup ETA 18min; 10:03pm.

Put a call through to riderer.

Me: hi, gudevening pls where you going to pls?
R: Berger
M: pls kindly req another ride it's off my path
R: Okay

I thought this guy waa gonna cancel but he didn't.

I calles him again.

M: pls sir you still haven't cancelled.
R: I'll be charged you cancel.
Me: you still have time to cancel without being charged pls kindly cancel so I can get a ride towards my destination.
R: Okay.

Guy still refused to cancel.

I then drove down to pu, waited for about 6min could see it was a card trip na there devil come enter my Godly heart and I said let me teach this guy a hard lesson since you want to spoil my own make me help you spoil your own too.

I started trip, got to Berger did solo 4passengers to ogba. I then decided to end trip at excellent hotel.

As I reach out the stupid guy sent me a textbwithin.

How do I report to uber now is what I'm trying to think now.

If you a good and constructive lie I can give to uber pls help me out.

Well, whatever happens, U will definitely learn ur lesson and Move on, though wat U did was bad, but me I will just say.... Next Tym don't let riders action(s) be a tool of frustration for You.

Beng1234:
Just finished an annoying delivery trip.
When I got to pu, the girl that ordered brought a cake that was to be taken to cmd . I started the trip in her presence to confirm the address. A mosque was used as address *maybe for landmark*. I moved, immediately. Got to the mosque, called who I was to deliver to.
Me: good morning, ........... I’m to deliver a cake and I’m at the mosque.
She: look for number 8
I looked round and number 8 was just after the mosque. I told her I was in front of number 8. 10mins after, I called again to inform her I haven’t seen anyone.
She: what are u saying! U are not in number 8.
Me: ***surprised** ***abi no be number 8 I Dey see? And I already ended trip ooo.
I had to call the lady that ordered to explain. It was then I discovered I was a street away. immediately,I drove to the street, after getting the name.
Called on arrival, she was too harsh. Hian!
I saw someone come out to carry cake.

Me: my money is 2250 *showing her on the app*
She: ok, lemme take the cake and collect money from madam
Me: go and collect before you pick the cake.

As if I knew something was about to happen*

When she left, madam called and said she can’t pay 2250 and will pay 2k.
I just locked my doors and was chilling. I guess people around noticed and came to ask wassup. I explained and someone paid the 250 for her.

U re doing well.... No money no delivery.

U needs to be sharp and streetwise even if na 100 naira ,I can only leave if ur attitude is good.

A funny one: took a rider from Lekki to Ikeja(3 friends 2 guys and one lady), d lady was busy complaining about almost everything from speed to movement... I just kept my cool, luckily for her she forgot her slippers inside the car after d trip, she called almost like 5mins after( in my mind I said God don catch U).

I told her I am on anoda trip and I can't turn back. She said she stays on d mainland bla nlaa blaa, I told her is either U order anoda ride to bring the slippers for U and just pick it up at Taxify office, she threatened me ooo.

I messaged taxify straight away and promise to drop the slippers at dere office at Lekki... And dats it... Dropped d shiit dere, if she likes she can go dere or just forget d slippers.

NB: dis Happened around January

Felicity0001:
Sir enough of all theae your talks. Do you have a tok you would want to give out on rental I'll pay you 35k, Provided all maintenance will be on you. Shay u said uber rexommended me to you the other time? Now I'm coming to you direct. DM me let's talk.
