Crime / Re: BRT Bus Crushes Five-Year-Old To Death In Lagos by thoollz: 9:10am On Mar 04
Honestly can't fault the BRT driver, we are too stubborn in this part of the world. Is the pedestrian bridge for beatification or for use, why will you be holding 2 kids to cross a very busy road? KAI officials were placed on the road to deter people from crossing, yet some will walk a distance far from the bridge to avoid using it.

Crossing the road is risky, it as well causes traffic. Yellow buses shouldn't be allowed to drop passengers on the main carriage because there's no provision for climbing the bridge from that part of the road. They should use the service lane,but Lastma officers will overlook that and arrest any private vehicle that tries that.

We all need to work together to get things right. Everything isn't always about the Govt. If she did the right thing and tragedy still occurred, it would have been easier to blame the govt.

Education / Re: Zookeeper Devoured While Trying To Rescue Woman From Lion – NASU Chairman by thoollz: 10:34am On Feb 21
Nigerians are funny, so this man was still alive in the video footage?!!! Why was he not rushed to the hospital before even neutralising the animal? They probably would have saved him if they did the right thing, social media is a blessing and a curse. All because you want to post something that won't give you money nor fame. What a shame.

The message must have been misinterpreted, maybe I should have said, " I wonder how they still keep a happy mood after a long pickup ".

I drove and I know how I used to feel with long pickups but these guys will drive more than 10km to pickup and still not frown.

Bro, there's little or no discrimination where you are as long as you are not a thief or a fraudster. They'll gladly pick you up from >6km away because things are working as they should. Look at Über and Lyft for instance, if a rider cancels, über will compensate you for the cancelled trip and deduct the money from the rider's next trip. Bolt will refund you a certain amount if a rider tries to scam you or refuses to pay the amount. These are not Nigerian companies. There are labour laws protecting the drivers. Why won't they be happy?

We complain in Nigeria about long pickup while I have requested several times where drivers will come from around my destination, yet they will be with all smiles when they arrive. Although, I always tip them whenever they come from far places.

This screenshot was taken late but see how far he is to me. I'm going on a 15 mins ride but pickup is about 13 mins.

Àlàyé the road to your place good àbí ẹ No good?
Unwarranted traffic jams?
You dey cancel unnecessarily?

Just a pick up of 7 minutes here after letting the rider know you are on your way, they'll cancel before you get there. Some will even call you and assure you that they'll wait for you, only to get there and they've blocked your line. You think most Nigerians are sane?

Most times when they complain online I just laugh. Everyone is innocent online. This doesn't mean we don't have crazy drivers too.

Mancity is just too good for other teams, no matter how hard they try, they fail. Liverpool successfully achieved that feat once. Unless you are leading city with minimum of 18pts, don't get too excited.

A team without a proper LB and letting very solid players leave(sterling, cancelo, zinchenko), yet still as strong as ever. The EPL is a one-horse race.

Boss, hope no be me wey come carry the stuff you saw. cheesy
I showed up with a gold big daddy and both my front and back bumpers dey even scratch the road as I was leaving.
You come shout, wéré-wéré crazy driver! On top my head. abi? grin

But seriously, all this wey you talk no go enter some drivers ears at all. Even if na 10bags of cement, some go still carry am with mumu fare price. sad

Like today, I dropped a girl at unilag, as I was driving to go position myself, na so orders popped up and I picked one, the passenger accepted me and I arrived at her PUP. I called her and she said she was coming; I waited for over 20mins, she no come. For my mind, I have concluded I will cancel her ride, but I want stress her small.
As she came out, she asked me to drive front a bit, as I drove towards her, come see load; bags and cloths. I just dey laugh say well done.
I allowed her put all her belongings inside boot and back seat, whereas, I already cancelled her ride while she was doing that with one girl helping her.
When she was done, she begged make I give am 2 mins say she wanted to take her room key, I no talk. She spent another 10mins, as she came out to enter car say she don ready, I asked her to pack all her loads out, that I have another order waiting for me.
She and her helper were surprised. I just dey look both of them.
Dem pack all those things out and I just shut my boot and door, they didn't expect such attitude, from their faces, you would clearly read it.
I just zoomed off go position for Abule Ijesha road.
Wetin vex me gangan na that delay. She come get plenty loads join am. I was just laughing.
Much respect, boss.

Guy you be correct gee, you see these riders ehn, they're very anyhow people. How will you place an order for a ride and delay the driver? He's wasting valuable time and money waiting for you, some of them don't have courtesy, neither do they care. They won't apologise neither will they tip you for the time wasted.

I've a friend that's in Scotland, the way d guy dey miss bus, I dey always laugh am. We're not time conscious in this country.

Funny enough, riders can't take the shit they give, some can't wait 8 minutes, they'll cancel before you get to PUP.

Pilots, read this to know how to manouvre your ways in the coming weeks and months within Lagos State.

Motorists are notified of the traffic diversion at Old toll gate/Berger axis from Monday 30th January - Friday 15th April 2023.

Traffic on the Ibadan bound carriageway will be narrowed to two lanes in continuation of the ongoing road rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

In view of this, U-turn in front of the Lagos State Emergency Centre will be temporarily closed to traffic.

Motorists on the Expressway will be diverted to the next U-turn at the Old Toll Gate by the Control Point.

Alternative Route for Trucks Only
Trucks and heavy duty vehicles will be diverted to Ojota interchange.

Diversion Point 2 and Alternative Route Options.

Motorists from CMD Road intending to connect 7-Up and Motorways on the Lagos bound carriageway will make use of the Old Toll Gate/Traffic Point U-Turn.

Motorists on CMD Road inbound the Expressway will be diverted to the entry point beside the FMW Weigh Bridge to access the expressway.

The exit route to the Expressway by Caleb International School will equally be temporarily closed.

Diversion Point 3 and Alternative Route Options.
CMD Road will be used as alternative for the displaced Ibadan bound traffic.

Signage with directions will be mounted along the road to guide Motorists through.

Very stupid government, constructing roads everywhere, making it difficult for motorists. Yesterday was the construction of the ikorodu interchange from tollgate.

A mechanic did small work on the car, after finishing, he noticed that the fanning system runs on thermostat. Which is true. He then advised to remove the thermostat and work the fan direct.
Yesterday, a rewire also helped with plugs work. When he was done, he also noticed and advised the same.

Is the engine unnecessarily hot? That is whenever you turn it off, even after say 20 minutes your engine compartment is still hot? If so, remove it, if not leave it.


Reason is cause the high temperature can damage other things.

Business is business, there should be no emotional attachment or friendship in business.

Just because you have the means or you pull the major resources in a business doesn't mean you should breach a contractual agreement.

What exactly should the hirer be doing when the car has been taken away for 2 weeks? He has a family to take care of, he has responsibilities to carry out and if he's making payment as at when due, I see no reason why issues like this should come up.

Most Nigerians don't show their true colours until they're in a position of power.

I'm not working for free, same lady would have told this guy to turn on his AC, or follow her desired choice of route and is unwilling to pay one hundred naira more the price she thought she booked the ride?

Na sọ woman go dey drive dey stay for middle of a 2-lane road, if you horn or signal her to leave, people will tell u to leave her that she's a woman. No Learner sign and she has her car on the road.

Women are also adults that should take responsibility for every action. I won't show you empathy because of your gender, I treat everyone equally.

Guys be careful, there are some able-bodied boys known for notoriously begging motorists and commuters at the end of the oshodi/gbagada expressway heading towards Ibadan in traffic. If you refuse to give them something, they'll either throw something at your car or insult you.

If care isn't taken, those boys will soon start robbing people.

Oga if you tell your boys to stop stealing from innocent individuals, nobody will lay false accusation against them. A thief caught red-handed will suffer for previous crimes even if he had nothing to do with the crimes.

I'll give you a tip concerning knowing your destination. Always ensure your GMAP is opened at all times, once you input the name of the street, road, close or drive you aren't familiar with on GMAP, it'll show you the location.

For instance, if you input Kusenla road, it'll let you know your destination is Lekki, or Olu Holloway in Ikoyi etc. That'll help you make your decision to embark or disembark on such trip.

The game plan against city was wonderful from klopp and his tacticians. I've not seen Liverpool defend so strong like that in a long time, all thanks to Jota and Elliott that helped Robbo and Milner respectively. Keeping salah up top for counter-attack was also blissful to watch.

I hope we bag the 3pts today.
