@ chijioke

Sorry about your ordeal at least your own even better self you still got paid.

I was at Mobil service station when I got this req in indrive.
Destination was showing a street similar to ine in mushin. Called rider she said she's in front of UBA, I tried to ask her where is this street she's going to she refused to say. 1st red flag.
Got to PU on the map I couldnt find rider, called again she said it's the uba at ogba b/s and not the one at acme rd. 2nd red flag which I still ignored.
Drove again to UBA ogba b/s, I saw them and then I checked the destination on the map 1hrs 30min+ to destination; price was 2800. I asked them where is this place she said she doesn't know the place they're only going for a video shot. But the diatance was about 30km I tried to check well it was taking us towards mushin but I wasnt too sure.
Me: can you call the person to know where this address is?

R: ... His No isn't going through... Another red flag. That i still failed to listened to.
I said I can only go this place for 3500, she offered 3k last. Stepped out of the car after much deliberation. 1st girl was very calm and respectful in her address, she's the one that ordered the ride but 2nd girl was a stupid cat. She said that's why I don't like dis indrive bla bla lets order Taxify abeg b4 they stepped out of my car.

I'd already cancel at this time, and the devil whispered to my soul, "why not take it 3k without commission". That was how I obeyed the devil's voice not knowing I was heading for destruction.

Trip started, everything was going smoothly with great music and discussion that I didnt even know when we blow pass 1st rainbow on getting to 2nd rainbow access bank road that was when it was done on me destination is somewhere across mile2... Come see traffic, map was still showing like 1hr despite 8km left.
Me: pls can you try and call this person again to know where this address because this doesn't look like the mushin I thought initially. At this point my countenance has changed immediately
R: its Ajegunle.
I Just quickly pulled over, so you guys know where you're going to and you deceived me right, okay no problem. Me I'm not going more than this place because I cant go to that side.
This was where the whole problem started.
To cut things short, I offered to accept 2k while they book another ride since I'd already covered over 22km.

The wicked friend said lie lie they'll only give me 1k. I told then I'd rather no collect a penny that accept 1k.
They booked a Taxify and stepped out of the car.
I looked for a place to parked, came down and saw them already in the Bolt driver's car explaining to him. I walked to them, knocked at the window and the driver winded down.
The still refused to give me my money. I left them, walked to my car and drove off, after like 100m i stopped, off all app, put an inspirational song while leaving the AC to blow at the maximum, to my can of water and tried to take renew my mind for the next ride.

Next thing I heard a knock on my window, raised my head it was the driver that was supposed to take.

I stepped outta the car and where staryed gisting... I felt relieved. Put on my app and got a request on uber.

PU: mega chicken, Access road
Destination: Anthony

As I dropped off I just off app drive go house.

So any rider who doesn't provide to me adequate information about your trip, sorry I'll simply decline and look for a suitable ride.

So I had one crazy experience this morning. Got a request at ọwọrọ, destination wasn't showing. Called the rider, told her I was less than a minute away from PU, she said okay. Got to PU, expecting she would be out by then, waited 5 minutes, before calling her again, then she said she is coming down now. First red flag. I shrugged it off, she got in, I asked her destination, she said yaba, I said okay, we started the trip. I went through Bariga, on getting to akoka, I asked where exactly are we going. Cos the map was showing something else. She said community road. I said, but that's not yaba, she then lied she didn't know the destination, that she hasn't been there before. I swallowed and continued. Got to the street of her destination after so many bad roads, saw rivers of water that got to the bonnets of SUVs. Told her I can't go through that water with my car, madam asked why. I told her cos my car would go off if I try it. She just went off and off, I ignored her, eventually she asked what I wanted her to do, I told her since you can see the place you are going to from where we are, why not just end the trip here and walk less than 100m to the place, if you are too weak to walk, you could take a bike. Madam started shouting again that did she tell me she wanted to take bike that she knows why I'm saying all this, that it's because it's a card trip( I had no knowledge prior to this time that it was a card trip cos I don't bother to check). Then I told her, okay let me see if there is an alternative route, unfortunately there was none. At this point my patience was running out, so was my fuel. She started shouting again, that I want to put her through stress because I don't want my car to go off in the middle of the water. At this point I lost it( I don't know how to yell or shout when angry, infact, when I'm angry, my voice goes lower and I smile more), I told her point blank, so you knew your destination and knew the road was bad but still tricked me, as if that wasn't enough, you want me to risk spending tens of thousands because you don't want to go through stress, there is no amount of money this trip would give me that can take care of the damage the water will do to my car. I then told her in clear terms, I'll end the trip and refund you whatever it gives. I'm not a beggar, I'm a well paid nurse who does this for fun and extra cash. At this point madam went mute and told me to take her back to the junction of the destination. Took her there and ended the trip, I was trying to bring out my wallet and give her back her 1400 and she just came down, banged my door and started walking away.

Some people are actually rude and think lowly of e-hailing drivers.

eyinola:

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Wait wait wait

Let me get a clearer picture of the story.

She ordered a ride
The driver accepted
She(We) went to meet him
He refused to go unless it is negotiated offline..


Then


He suddenly called her stupid
And threw a bottle at her.

Does this make any sense?[/color]

Slickleo:
E-hailing is not paying dis few weeks if am wrong someone should prove otherwise.

To be honest with you, if I was driving only on uber in this Lagos without my Bolt driver app, I would have gone back to my village long time ago. That I am still doing big boy na Bolt ooh.

BAZ001:

In fact I feel comfortable when ladies sleep in front and rest d car seat and we gisting like pals not like driver n rider

shollywendy1:

deedee44:

famousguy01:
It will tally with the vehicle number on their app

emmancecute:
you're the architect of your problem all because of fastest finger first. the rider does not owe you anything extra. before I accept a trip on indriver, I check the pickup/destination then check the time estimate for the drop off, even in some cases I check the routes to ensure it is traffic free. take only trips that's convenient for you, una no go hear.

benitdavid:
good afternoon. pls I have a question to ask and I need honest response.
can someone build a house doing uber/bolt?

pope191:
If nah Felicity, u just waste ur call time

nwizu042:
My candid advice is abort mission except.....

I had to. Take an agbalagba lady to agungi this morning. Eko bridge was blocked by hoodlums, made. My way to oyingbo to access carter bridge but still same thing.
The lady who is a lagos island agbalagba spent 2 hours begging her own boys at different road blocks + paying/tipping them.
They almost broke my windscreen sef. I got scared as some point but she kept giving me courage.
See, if you are not one of them don’t bother.
Only my car was allowed.
At some road blocks sef they refused her money.

Me I know I won’t be working this week.
What I saw this morning made me realize that truly things might escalate soon.
Very soon...
But for now #endsars #25for25.

northbird:
Brethren. Updates. Pls.

Chillex, babadee, jaydee, pope, davit, don fortunate, toomush, eyinola,
If you r out there, Abeg tell us something.

davit:
Shortly after posting this, a bolt driver pulled over by my side without even stopping him. He asked me if it was battery problem. He immediately parked and brought his battery for me to use. I was really amazed. I barely picked his name as he drove off immediately my car started. This is good, guys. I ve vowed to stop and help any driver I see on the road henceforth. This is the Nigeria we yearn for. We mooveee.
