There's nothing on that jacket they wear that says "if you don't like my driving, call". On several occasion I have seen those guys drive rough and carelessly. Seemingly, their confidence comes from the fact that they wear helmets. The other day one almost had an accident with a rider behind. I just shook my head. Pitiful!!!

Very TRUE, nice observation. but n.a. so Chinko be.

izzou:

tojahh:

Commissioner for Transport, I hail you . In this Lagos you just need to be proactive and not reactive. May the good Lord help us all. it is damn painful to see all your days' earnings go at a blast.

In the words of one former Governor "We know what we know". Well done man, now enter into your rest.

The highlight of my day was picking up Waconzy, interesting dude we kept gisting till he got to his destination, from there i got another request immediately.

Ever since Uche increased my bonus to 26 trios, as if I came to this World to drive Taxify, I just do my daily target and jejely go home, I dash them the bonus, no energy for all that again.

IF you leave your house and come back safely, no incident or accident, shope tie! Kneel down, open your mouth and thank Baba God, even if you're not a driver.

On my way driving home coming from Alapere inwards Ogudu, I noticed some Opay bikes, some people on the bridge and off the bridge looking at something, whatever it was I can't tell, all in ALL it is well

stephenponti:
Who else is experiencing this a message will just Flash on your phone setting you offline. When there was no incoming request alert.

Omo, this thing happened to me last Friday towards evening almost 4 trips o! I started thinking if there was more to it than meet the eyes, because I got fixated on the phone. I had to restart the phone before I was able to get an incoming request that rang out.

ornicus:
..noted

thank you.

@Ornicus, I must commend you so far in one way or the other, however with all your Corporate experience I do not expect you to keep dragging issues here with Eherbal at all. Imagine if your kids could see how you do this time and again (pardon me for the mention). I expect you to overlook this guy and bring something better to the table, I remember one guy talking about E.I (Emotional intelligence) here. That is what I want to see from you going forward, a handful of us have same corporate experience BUT rarely mention it.

Besides, if you do not know a person's experience, nothing is wrong by giving them a chance for a start, Las las it is either a Yes/no.

Please sheath your sword abeg. Tojahh wants to learn/work give him a shot.

@Eherbal, Otoge ! I know you are quite busy that is why when you are free you quote him thereby dragging us backwards. You have almost same "working experience" just like him however in a different industry,

Let's us be civil and bring positive vibes and experience here not all this "Royal Rumble" . E don do abeg. This is a faceless forum, if Seun had not opened or restricted people to any topic, why do all this ? I weak for una 2 sha.

Same thing happened to me yesterday, did a trip from adedosu St off ijaiye road to banana island when I ended trip it was showing 900 naira had to use estimate. I didn't bother to do a price review make them take 15% from the 900 naira. Had these same issue last week I go review naaa so them collect there 20% from the reviewed price

it is well. Na to pray not to meet a mean rider, otherwise n.a. battle of Musanga.

Guys, if you're around Landmark find your way towards Trinity House , the church i mean. There is an event just ending , so request dey.

Are you guys sure Opay is not bugging this bolt App? Did a trip from Ikoyi to 2 different places on the mainland, trip ended at 2k4. #cardtrip. When the lady asked if I could take her back , I told her to change it to cash, at the end it came to N900. I check app, it was even lesser #400, the lady was surprised and gave me 2k5. they can collect their percentage from my #900.

SaintHilary:
Based on sum stats,

RunsGirls make up 80% of Bolt Riders

Corporate staffs make up 70% of Uber Riders

Well, whether Bolt, Uber, Indriver, incoming Ocars o, or the lesser ones, all I know is that at the end of the day I do go home with something, that's hardwork + Grace.Like it's said "whether we pound yam inside .mortar, abi we boil groundnut shells, person wey go belleful go belleful ".

adsmaster:
Thank God nothing happened to you. Father thank you, we are so grateful for your protection over his life and everyone of us here.

Brovthese is the odds that are stacked against us in the biz.. These biz is not a longtime game, it should be a means to and ends, a stepping stone to another..

Men i don't understand how life don't mean anything to some people, they kill at will, cut, break people head and above all Put there life at risk embarking on such fight. Crazy, how did they turn into these monsters, that little baby that there mother gave birth to, very cut and innocent now turning into these monsters..they don't have morals anymore.

. Very true and well spoken, keyword "A means to an end...." This is just a phase for everyone, may God see us all through.

Guys, just want advise those of us that will be driving on Ikorodu road at night, due to the bad roads between Onipanu and Fadeyi, you really need to be careful o, I can imagine those boys robbing at night not even as Christmas is approaching.

Remember Sergeant Moridele is better than General Kusogun. God protect us all. #Happyweekendsir

pope191:
I've been here going 1 hr plus now... D anointing oil I bought is China, where can I get Italian own. Is it a general tin or network?

Lol! deleted and reinstalled mine , now I have forgotten my password Las las n.a. to enter their Lekki office. Experienced such last week as well .

pope191:
Please, who else is having issue with bolt app, my is not coming up and I have to cancel a trip for almost 50 mins now.

Infact, I have done same beacuse I am just grounded abi chilling in Ikoyi pending when it will come up. Try use your anointing, you no fit be Pope for nothing

Please Op simply defer your admission by a year, so you don't drop out or start all over.

Then take the car if it is a recent one, say from 2003 upwards register it on Uber/Taxify, after sometime you can go back to school .Please no matter what do not drop out , just defer.

Olopa; Oga anything for us, do something n.a..
Me; Na person I carry for back o (he bends over to see)
Olopa ; You be Uber abi?
Me; Yes
Olopa : Una no dey ever get , just dey go. (n.a. so rider begin smile, that she's hearing such for the first time)

Picked a young "runz girl" today she was changing hotel to another location and my heart sunk because of how young she was and what she does to stay alive. I just WEAK.

But all in ALL today has been fair, and it's not over yet.

Kept looking for Taxify bonus after chopping the early morning one. the thing no show

Yesterday I was on a trip heading towards Alpha beach road, few meters after turning I just saw 2 hilux in front of me , inbetween was a Rolls Royce owned by a notable Big man, I told my rider that "how can you drive a RR on this kind of road, haba !" E be like say the Chairman overheard me, because in less than 2 minutes, Baba say make dem turn back. Big man Big wahala.

reason am na
company is paying for your car [2019 range/lexus/land cruiser]
company is paying for your driver [fully trained in defensive driving]
company is paying for your vehicle fuel and maintenance
compay is paying for your pilot and police escort

there is no advantage an uber will give a CEO over his\her official car.
not comfort, not safety, not convenience
your uber will have to wait in traffic. CEO pilot will blow siren or drive one way. sometimes, staff will wait to follow ogas convoy so they can make it out of gridlock

you do not even know how responsible or careful or well trained the driver is. it is a roll of the dice.
[not one uber driver has EVER asked me to put on my seat belt]

what comfort can i get in 2003 corolla with fabric seats over 2019 suv with full entertainment system, leather seats, tinted windows?

it is the same hold up you will face going out of the office in your car or in the uber.
the only thing i can conclude is that oga at the top wants to do something off the books

one time our ceo was doing site inspections and no one could tell exactly where he was going [over 100 possible sites he could visit]
he was nitpicky so the plan adopted was always try to fix up as much as we could before he got there.people were running ragged trying to plan. but some people in the loop would simply spool out the info from the man's driver

a driver is a person who knows a lot of ogas secrets and plans and company info. driver will hear ceo talking about sacking people etc.

thats why i see runs as the most likely reason for an oga at the top with fully funded transport to be using uber. because he wants to be incognito and he doesnt want his enemies in the office setting him up or figuring out his habits.

also because entertainment of that nature may be against company policy if official vehicles are involved

we had one useless indian oga one time who was carrying runs girls in company premises. one day one stole some stuff. the guy started making noise and then management gave him the talking to of his life. really humiliated him. from that point on, any runs the guy did was out of town. na so the man begin organise out of state trips to scratch his itch.

all this talk about being down to earth is something simple people say.

as for people talking about otedola - you have no idea how paranoid naija ceos are.

100% True. Don't worry since your office is in my hood , we go reason am one of this days. cheers man. Your reasoning shows your exposure to work environment. Nice one.

thelastorca:
Maybe oga wanted to do erm quick short time on the down low .

. You're a clown.

thelastorca:
I have decided not to bother. From a security and privacy perspective, only a very foolish high net worth individual would use uber. If you want to compare tobi of bbn with a ceo, that's fine.

You realise multinationals have security offices that issue safety warning bulletins? Do you know the amount of risk exposure I would get as a ceo riding uber? My phone number would automatically be available to people outside of a closed circle. That is a safety risk all on its own. You people think all ceos are created equal? You think ceo of gtb bank is the same as ceo of cakes and cream?

Some things are not worth arguing. It is however interesting to observe thought processes and rationalisations.

Theres a thread on fp where a babe started getting calls from a driver. I cannot begin to imagine the nonsense that would happen with a ceo, in this Nigeria, especially with Nigerians wey no get filter. Common sharing my phone no during close meeting, I started getting yahoo calls from the abroad

. To a great extent you are right and because of this public forum, I can't say much but I KNOW(Mark my words) top executives in IOC's that once a while use these platform. However, it comes at a great risk to such a person, and this is based on EXPERIENCE. The only safety net is if it's within the city at a short distance, but even at that there was an issue that came up. (let's leave it there)

I have a brand New Royal gas cooker, about 136k at the store but can still do 128k. Available on the mainland .

Cooladex:
Were you paid??
Cos I don find plenty hotels for riders b4 oo

Nah! I just got more discount for a friend, I thought I could get a double for my friend and I. I know say your experience for hospitality industry no be here. Lol !

Some riders acan be funny sha, I had to double check if I'm driving a hilux abi n.a. pick up sef. Rider requested for a ride going to V. I from Fola Osibo, got there saw the boot of her Suv opened with lots of books. She told me that I'm to deliver these books, looked at the weight and gently declined(on top how much, you wan spoil my car). Tried to convince me, I gently insisted and asked her to cancel, she begin frown. I just drive away not without her saying "I'll get another person". I feel a bit sorry for who will do the delivery, it's just a tough luck on the car to take.

Cooladex:
Hotels plenty o. But I don't know the one that pays.

I Trust you. Done and dusted though. Thanks.

ornicus:
You can't take the heat, get the fk out of the kitchen.now are you up for Driving a Ford Ranger?
