Good!

Wike must be uprooted so Rivers can have peace.

GAZZUZZ:
It's good to own your own property. Sometimes it is not wise living in it. You are better off collecting rent for it and living somewhere else. But let's not derail the thread.

igbos are sore losers, no shame and they can't even hide their frustration..one thing am sure of is that Igbo will never rule Nigeria until North, south South and south west decide to give them a shot and that's if the igbos can have sense and stop thinking like Bush people they actually are

I must confess that you are very stupid sir. This is one of the most useless and irrational posts have read on Nairaland. In fact I strongly suggest that you visit Yabaleft as soon as you are back for mental accessment. Does ur system run on some cheap Niger Delta kaikai. How could you label drivers on this thread as being lazy simply because they were not out to take you to that god forsaken place that you and you cronies went to. Did you bother to know if the offer and timing was good before coming here to conclude. Without the input and experiences of these drivers you are calling lazy you won't be here to paint them black. There's no gainsaying the fact that requests is on the decline now but it doesn't translate to one being forced into embarking on what won't pay him. So 15k trip is an opportunity to you ba? Did you know how many drivers on this thread made double that amount today? I think you are one of those irrational and entitled car owners that play god to their drivers. For the records, what will work for Driver A might not work for driver B. You put the driver in an hotel so kini big deal.

izzou:
A very unnecessary line to use

The driver is providing a service, and you are paying for it. Stop making it look like you are paying him for free and doing him a favor

Before you start seeing 15k as 15billion, I've taken someone offline from Dolphin to Alpha beach, to and fro, and he paid me 15k without any negotiation

The guy's offer was 15k....Simple. What has laziness got to do with that? So no uber driver made 12k today Abi? Or going to Abeokuta to and fro for 15k is the best deal someone can ever encounter?

This is business oga.... Make your offer and whoever it pleases will take it. Dont make people look stupid because they declined your offer.. Over a thousand offline trips were done today. Your own is just one

BillGoldberg:
You guys that are not lazy, why can't you guys drive yourself and leave we lazy drivers in peace? Is it your lazy?

Chuwaa:
See how people miss opportunities. When Farehz talks about positioning and being smart, some will eat him raw.

Ikeja to Abeokuta is 103km, to and fro is 206km. A smart driver knows that the hours of 10am-3pm are the less busy times and would have explored the opportunity first instead of dismissing and dissing the plan.

Anytime I enter uber, I try to engage them to see if I can meet anyone on this forum and I rarely do. So this forum is just a microcosm of the whole.

So my trip was a bit uncertain and I could not contact the first guy that indicated interest here till after 9am and he was on a trip far away. He was very courteous and I've just saved his number for offline trips.

Anyway I just booked a nearby uber driver and we negotiated. He knew Abeokuta and took me at 15k, I didn't want to press down the charge cos I know where it pinches.

Now a good 1.8l or less car will go to and fro with 4k fuel and have 12k without Uber or taxify cut.

Anyway we left by 10 and are back now (3pm). The roads were okay. The guy will probably continue his hustle and make 100k before the day ends.

Such is the world we live in

@Tyche

I'm still begging and hoping you come to my aid but if you have decided not to help me at least I deserve to know so I won't keep texting you daily

tunlapapa:
So it's a journey of 3km you are booking down, better go and fly bike

MoonlightDrive:
Taxify/uber are not here to please drivers. There primary focus are the riders! is it not ironic that even in this era of low fares, pilots are complaining of low request. New apps coy are coming onboard because they still believe this is a high margin biz. Taxify/uber must turn the biz model to low margin with high frequency of riders request.
The low margin will keep potential new entrants from wanting to join the biz. Just pray that prices do not crash further. It is a dog eat dog world.

Vellichor:
As in you want to drink only water for one week, no food? Is that due to your circumstances or for weight loss? I wouldn't want you to injure yourself doing that

I'm going to start the fasting. I wanted to start this morning but I've just eaten breakfast. Yikes. I said this was going to be hard. Me and food are inseparable

Iykesmooth:
Tyche

Please don't do this to me. You gave me hope please don't take it away

I did not do anything wrong please help me , even if it's 1k it would really do me a lot of good. You have no idea how much I need this

Please don't abandon me too bro

lol
pls sorri for intruding, do u know any local rice mill equipment fabricator in the north?

Iykesmooth:
Omg reading your post made my mouth watery

It's been long I had such delicious meal

Vellichor:
I would like to try this but it seems hard because I love food and sometimes eat 4 times a day. OMAD sounds similar to fasting ( also good for weight loss ). For fasting, you eat your first meal at noon (12pm), dinner at 6/7pm, then you don't eat anything else till noon the next day.

Iykesmooth:
But you do it because you want to. For me I got no choice

There are sometimes when I want to eat more than once but I can't and I sleep with a hungry stomache... it's not easy as I wake up feeling weak and depressed

Even before now I was already slim and now I'm getting slimmer. That's not what I would call a healthy lifestyle but it's not like I have a choice
