Changing from Hybrid to?

GAZZUZZ:
what is wrong with it?

guzenaira:
I follow this tread because I wanted to invest in the business but then I can see over time that it’s going down or let me say it doesn’t work on rentals.

Hire purchase is the real deal for investors but let me address why I came up to talk.

In US and Canada, you can’t see drivers on rentals. It’s either they totally own the car or currently paying it off in a more convenient way.

Will you tell a guy on rentals to go on strike? Or a guy on hire purchase in a country where the owner of the car doesn’t even want the guy on hire purchase to see out his contract.

That's why i said i has to be a concerted effort between car owners and the drivers. At the end of the day, both will be happy.

Also this issue of pray for your own breakthrough and move on is what's killing this country. No selflessness. Until people see the need to fight for the greater good we have no right to be criticizing our leaders because we are then all the same

If all car owners on ehailing go on strike, a guy on rentals will see it as an opportunity to make more money.

Association cannot be formed because nobody will back such in Nigeria.

In as much as the leaders of Nigeria can’t do something about the future of youth as regards unemployment, so many foreign companies will come and take advantage of the situation of the country.

My brother, forget strike and union. Just pray to God for breakthrough in all areas of life and move on for good.

It's another wonderful week.

Any driver that is not paying his rental or keep giving excuses is either greedy or lazy.

They keep saying no money in Uber, but every week you go home with 20k after your rental fee.

sammirano:
Lolz. All these questions unto what na?

I never said low fares is good. I only said thats the Coy obj. And equally never mentioned drivers making noice. What's the point of complaining what you can't change. You cant compare personal car rarely used to business car maintenance requirement will defer greatly.

sammirano:
You guys need to understand a company's objectives before criticizing them E-hailing is aimed at providing the most convenient ride at the cheapest price. The business model.

Im not a driver,, but a frequent rider. Im just fascinated at the discussion on here.

mrsage:
E hailing companies will not adjust unless the drivers and partners come together with a common voice.

Then again most drivers get carried away with 10-18k daily earnings so we feel its all good.

CityNGR:
Location?

Something just happened now and am in civia pains again.

I took this barney from Lekki to somewhere in Ikeja. All throughout the journey, I couldn't concentrate because this girls shape, perfume and gait was killing me. Just look at the backside in the picture! Whooooooo......

This girl was so soft looking. She has this thing about her that says... Please Fvck me badly... I need you inside me. She was also very soft spoken and applied wet lips.

I wanted to bite her lips as she spoke. I just wanted to rush in without warning and start kissing her. But as usual, I remembered that Uber has my details and maintained my cool.

At a time, something was telling me to change destination to Lekki conservation forest where I will be alone with her and watch animals. Maybe... Something happens from there.

We continued the journey. As we got close to her street, I couldn't control myself again and I decided to shoot my shot. I told her boldly that I liked her and would love to marry her. I asked for her number and The girl said am a crazy man and rebuffed me.

Las Las, she told me to end the trip that she will trek the rest. She also said she will report me to Uber. That am sexually harrassing her and highly unprofessional.

I decided to snap this picture as she was leaving for evidence and future uses. Evidence incase Uber asks me why I decided to toast her. I will simply forward this pic to the Uber manager and ask him... If its him, won't he try his luck... Am serious. See shape... See height... See Waist... See Colour.. Abeg... This girl set Jare. I will even insist she dressed seductively and Uber has a strong policy against seducing drivers.

Again, am also keeping this picture for future uses when am Alone.

Brothers, was I wrong in shooting my shot?

slamstanlee:
Last night i
after a 10km ride, expecting up to 1000 as trip fare, i ended trip and saw 5626 Was surprised but rider was calm.
Me: ma do u have an outstanding debt?
Rider: yes
Me : are ready to pay all now?
Rider; yes but i don't have N26.

This carry over debt cant happen on taxify.
They are so wack.

Talking about riders with bad attitude...


Some weeks back, I picked a rider from ICM going to Dolphin Estate. I was listening and humming to one of my best tracks of Lucky Dube when the guy broke the silence with, "Do you know Morgan Freeman?"

Me: Yes I do
Rider: I saw a picture of him with earrings

I was like, so?

"Why should he?" Was his response...
Me: He's a movie star and its allowed for him to look the way he likes, what if they ain't earrings but just studs for the photoshoot?
Rider: Why?
I just ignored the question and faced my front...
After about 5mins,
Rider: What song are you listening to?
Me: Lucky Dube
Rider: Who is he?
Me: You don't know Lucky Dube?
Rider: I don't know him.
Me: Well, I can't help U here.
Rider: Tell me about him
Me: Sorry not today.
Rider: This is what I hate about Nigerians, you can't engage them in a simple conversation without them being and acting stupid. Damn.
Me: Nigerians?
Rider: Yes!
Rider: It's rude and I can report you for not responding to my conversation.
Me: (already pissed but try hard to suppress it) Guy, I decide which question(s) deserves a response.
So for you info, I don't respond to stupid conversations...
Rider: You are a fool!
We were getting close to his destination, so I just ignored him till we got there, I ended the trip and he said he wants to transfer, and I said ohk but you have to sit here till I get my alert o...he said OK.

While we were waiting for alert, I turned to him and said...I am sorry for you...look at U, bitterness written all over your miserable face...so please, get your miserable self out of my car and go drown in your misery somewhere else.
Rider: Idiot! What if I don't?
Me: I'll take you to the nearest police station and I'll make sure you pay me for time wasted.
He just hissed and got out reluctantly...
I reported him and gave him 1star.
I'm still waiting for taxify to call me and tell me rubbish...maybe nah dis one I go take leave their yeye platform.
Nndi Ara!

Uber/Taxify drivers in Nigeria don't speak with one voice whenever issues like this arises. Drivers needs to form a Trade union registered with Government inorder to protect their interest. Then collective bargaining should be adopted instead of strike. It remains the most effective way of settling dispute and grievances, it is a process of negotiation between employers and a group of employees aimed at agreements to regulate working salaries, working conditions, benefits, and other aspects of workers' compensation and rights for workers. The reason why ehailing companies keep taking decision Solely without consulting driver partners is because they don't have a Union. I know forming a union has its disadvantages, but it's best way to handle the situation on ground

chucsmoore:
You guys think Strike is the best way to go here in Nigeria. I just dey laugh. India and Nigeria is a different terrain. What worked in India might not work here. Did U all remembered what happened when Uber reduced their fare by 40% last year April. Drivers went on strike and protested. but nothing was done about it till date. Drivers went back to work. Uber became more resolute and adamant and stocked to their new prices. Am not in support of fare reduction or other grievances drivers may have with Uber/Taxify. But I think there are better and reasonable ways this can be handled

Fahrenz:
By and large. Disgruntled drivers should park their cars and we that want to drive will have more to do.

deedee44:
Don't just open your mouth and talk, if your wife reports such sensitive matter to you, you don't laugh it off, you take it up and do something. From your comment I can deduce you're not married, when you finally marry your match and partner, you can keep laughing it off when guys start harassing her outside until she's raped, well you can laugh that off too. Shit happens anyways right? No shaking

iyaegin:
This is so not true.immediately a driver cancels even after accepting it automatically goes to the next driver except there is none in the vicinity.

Gentlelife50:
Sometimes I just feel like making small trouble and catch fun.
Just rolling out and the three apps were on, request enter on Uber.
Called the number I saw there the ruder picked, I said good morning Sir.
He didn't respond and the next thing he asked where are you naa? I just end the call, how can someone be that rude?
He called back, I greeted him again he asked the same where are you naa? Without even responding to the greeting.
I decided to catch small fun, I now replied.
Oga I am here he said where?
In my car at legend bar road, do you want to come?
He now said please come to Doreen wellness center, I said okay that's better than asking me where I am and u won't help me with directions after.
Done with the trip still expecting my one star.

"and make any trip during 1st of October would not be counted as the promotion is till the midnight and not the end of the day
from the second statement, the 7 trips made during 1st are not included... Means you made 13 trips within the time frame of the promo

In other words, promotion ends by 11.59pm, 30th Sept.. Which was referred as midnight 1st Oct....

SoapMactavish:
Oga, that's not right. From that message, midnight of the 1st of October means 12:00am 1st of October, that is 12:00am Monday morning. That was when it expired, and that means all the trips that counted was the ones you completed until 11:59pm, 30th September.

The person further explained that all trips on 1st of October wouldn't count. And when does 1st of October start?.....12:00am, Monday, 1st of October.

xana101:
Please I need an English person to explain that midnight of 1st to me. If 1st is not inclusive. Maybe I'm d one not getting d English correctly. Thanks
