Please house what's it with being on a trip and 3 other trips came in and it eventually impacted my activity score for not either accepting them or not meeting up?

And all along I've been hearing about village people here i thought it was a joke.

Had back to back trips from 1-4 b4 dem start.

I think this uber/taxify driving can be an hobby for me.

Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion so pls I still stand on that based on my experience as a driver and as a partner! Everybody are not the same. There are bad ones and there are good ones.
We add too much sentiment and bias in things and further wanting to extend it to business and that's why most Nigerian thing(business) doesn't succeed, for example see konga(sold), dealdey(sold), jumia(strong). Running business like family affairs.

Although i did exactly what you said for 2 drivers previously,

First driver: Made me pay extra aside what uber charged for getting my goods in his boot, I've seen here where someone said in uber you dnt talk to your rider unless you're spoken to, but driver kept making me uncomfortable with talk like a talkative with Ac not chilling on an evening o, with just a staff of mine at the back seat. Thought about rating him bad but didn't rate him at all.

Second driver: This one came out helped me carry load into the boot, ok that's nice. Then i entered the finished muscle camry, i was surprised such a car was on uber, this one started using me to peep into fuel stations that he doesn't have fuel and then Ac no work. Didn't rate him too since 1 star was not nice. Actually 1 star befits.

Left both of them without rating just because i didn't wanna give them negative one. But that's probably wrong of me.

2010 accent, please take a pic of the engine, I wager you have the wrong engine installed.
As soon as you put mouth for this my car mata, also asked for the pic of the engine, i had to pause from further reply as the engine pic became the benchmark for further convos. Well i wanted a good read of those problem codes and not a change of engine suggestion.

I found out my friend who went for same car has alike engine(Same friend calmed the ish for me after you suggested i sell it after just purchasing it. That verdict was harsh as after more check and consideration, the situation with the car was manageable) and at such even if changing engine could solve most of the problem i needed to minimize cost as i believe that's not the only and possibly final solution. As it is now most of the work i earlier complained of are now balanced, only need to check the Ac and then when work starts i see if fuel economy is intact.

Something to take note of about the car is that, aside when load isn't much on the engine and it vibrates, it never misfires. I'm willing to start with it like that and learn with it before i have the boldness to invest more in the business. So unless this car fails, i would consider there was never an ish with it as per my conclusion. Thanks

Some drivers are devil, black ones!

And am not exaggerating.

I am really angry!

Earlier when I see people like dru23 saying things about drivers, I felt he was too harsh, had I known

I added a Toyota Corolla, I was unlucky, engine knocked before it even made one naira. Changed engine, changed evaporator, condenser and a host of other things.

Changed almost everything on the legs from shocks, brake to tires. Spent over 300k for these.

Where possible, I use oem or new parts, I buy them myself or order online.

That's not the story, this is the story

I gave this cha cha Corolla to an experienced driver referred by someone I happen to know. I checked his profile he had 4.6 as his ratings I was cool but there was one problem, he had no phone.

said he had some challenges, he had to sell his phone.

Because of the person that referred him, I asked him which phone and how much, he mentioned one infinix with 2g ram, the price was 38k, I transferred 40k to him.

Filled the car to half tank and handed over to him on a Wednesday.

Come Friday, he wasn't still paired with me on Uber, called him, he gave some cock and bull story of how he needs to go Uber office and do it, well for other cars it only took minutes, so I gave him 24hours to that. He did it in 18.

Come Tuesday, Uber didn't pay me, I've forgotten about him to be honest, since I used a different Uber profile/email address for him, I checked his profile, he was in debit of about 10k, he was owing Uber, I called him, he gave some stories, pleaded I give him till Thursday, let him pay one full week.

I agreed

Had I known

Thursday, called severally before I reached him, another story, his ac was bad he hasn't been working I was furious, did you call me?

Asked him to go meet my ac guy to fix it. I like doing ALL my repairs, for fear of substandard parts.

immediately, I logged on my GPS tracker, this guy was a bloody liar, he's been all over Lagos especially at night.

Gave a benefit of doubt even though my tracker says otherwise. Asked him for my money he said next Tuesday, I chilled, this point I was boiling but I needed to chillax, thanks to Heineken.

Tuesday, oga didn't pay, he didn't call, I didn't call

Wednesday same thing

Checked GPS he's been all over Lagos

Thursday morning by 10am, I stopped the car.

Went to the location, collected my car keys and phone.
Mechanic was already over the car thinking it was a mechanical fault, he didn't call me ooo.

Took the car back only to discover the following

1. Booth was permanently locked
2. ‎passenger door has been bashed, the glass is broken inside
3. ‎the car stinks like sh*t
4. ‎the new phone screen was broken


All in 2 weeks

I repaired the spoilt things and am looking for a driver, but this time like the yorubas say

Ojú ánu tí fọ!

He called me, I didn't pick cos if I swear 'for' him, it will be so bad that he would prefer his village people romance him than for my curse to kiss him.

Other drivers have even noticed a change self.

Why am I typing this long epistle

[b][/b]I just saw the same guy here asking for a car, on this thread, promising no stories. Yepa! Am angry!!!
The same guy, same phone no!

The thunder that will fire him ehn, is still using Yokozuna as dumbbell.

Dear partners, before you accept any driver please ask to call their former partners! Simple
if they say no, da wọn nù bí omi ishanwọ̀

Plus collect upfront payment ooooo

If you don't have, ja kúrò ní waju mi jàre, mi o ráyè radarada pálapàla.


Datguru, abeg send me that your HP agreement, am considering it.

Udo!
I no like to dey talk or put mouth for mata here until i enter the business make pple no say i too forward, well this is common sense.

But obviously someone like you is the type dru23 always talk about and would always laugh very hard.

The average Nigerian would always take advantage of any generous gesture they noticed let alone lagosian driver, you obviously weren't considering your investment before shining ur 32 at d driver.

Checking inside the oil cap to determine if it is clean or not.

Did the car come with the code, or the code came on after you bought it? If after you bought it, how long after?

By the way that oil is too thick for that engine. If you must do mineral oil, pls don't do more than 3,000km.

That engine costs a fortune.
Bought with the code as it's not really been used

So the code came with the car then? Or it just came on. How about the oil cap test? Bought toks or Nigerian used? Which oil was used to service?

Can you check for sludge? Open engine oil cap, is there some grease like material inside the cap? Or is the inside of the cap very clean?

How frequently do you do your oil change and which oil do you use?

Smoking is a sin.

Allah condemns it, but not directly. He said "avoid that which is harmful to you"
Did he say smoking? No. But smoking is harmful and if you smoke, you are disobeying Allah and it is a sin.
This is the same position of the bible and why it's a sin. Other than that it's not direct. It's a sin
