Road can never be free by this time, it's from 30, 31 and early next year because companies and offices would be closed.

Haba bros, not even on Christmas Day?

I think road will be free from Christmas sha, but given how Lagos is, I could be wrong.

I just hate traffic whether or not I’m getting paid to be in it.

But I thought road is supposed to be free this Christmas period

Or is it after Christmas that road will be free?

Felicity0001:
Lol...

Guyndey para but why e b say na Benz you come use as analogy and not tye popular Corolla Benz in ur mind i guess.

About the question [b]where are you [/b]I think I'm beginning to get over it because it's seems it's a default on the bolt app because that's the same question these riders use even when they chat you up. So tye thing no dey bother me again

Lol I don’t know why ooo

and yeah, I guess we can’t let it bother us, after all, we do have to provide a level of customer service.

If every customer service rep got easily irritated over stupid questions, they wouldn’t get to keep their jobs for very long.

Ttalk:
That's what they deserve

Beat them wella Please let us see the video those people get liver ooo

How can Nigeria ever be great with citizens like this that support their oppressors?

Barbiturate:
Tell them to wait in your car till you get the alert.

Dropped a girl at unilag(science) she transferred and showed me hastily. Told her to wait till I get the alert. She started complaining that she was late.
After about 10 mins I told her that I can no longer wait, that we should go to GTB or access atm. She asked about the one she transferred, I said I've not seen any alert, and she can't be wasting my time and that if I get the alert I'll transfer back to her. She followed me to the ATM, gave me cash, then I took her back to the science fac, and then collected her acct. Till today I've not gotten the alert.

The other one that happened at Dmatel, I explained it here. I didn't get the alert, but then I allowed him leave the car cos he was checking into the hotel. I later went to the hotel to collect cash. He even added extra 2k.

Make sure you get the alert before they leave, cos some of them Na scammers, just like that girl up there.

And then also, let them show you the app receipt. Better still ask which bank App they want to use, cos some banks delay or prob network issues. Like access bank. If they use access to transfer to GTB, it takes a whole day, and sometimes, they send back to the sender.

Sometimes it just seems like asking them to wait is a waste of my time and their time, because I know some legit transfers can take a while for whatever reason, but it seems this is the better approach. Or best yet, I will only collect cash.

Anyways I have been paid now. Yay!

I don’t know if it’s cause I reported both rides to bolt.

Riders need to understand abeg, it’s not easy to drive someone up and down for free. Then still pay for petrol and pay for bolt commission out of pocket because you didn’t get paid.

One of them was telling me to calm down, and I usually am calm. I once let a guy pay me after two days no stress and I let a lady out the next day.

But sometimes you need that money like NOW!!! Like even to buy petrol!

Anyways matter resolved, but men, I was nearly hypertensive cause of just 3k but it was my sweat abeg!

YeyeGbami:
Tell them you have fellow hoodlums that will frustrate dia life, if them no pay tomorrow drop their contact.

Na to post am on twitter say call this numbers to get free chicken and rice giveaway.

Lol, as in... really put their numbers on blast.

But I have been paid sha, yay! Time to hit the road again.

I mean technically, aren’t we supposed to even collect cash? If it’s not a card trip?

I don’t mean to be a hoodlum, but I just can’t be at the mercy of someone telling me network issues after they have already alighted from my vehicle.

Me I always carry change, so there won’t be any excuse.

I’m still so pained, I had to go home.

They should pay me my money or I will start calling them non stop and if the block me I will use private numbers.

This is my last day accepting any useless bank transfer, I will call and ask if they have cash before I accept the trip.

2 people today now owe me 3,400.

It’s just a weird feeling, like I’m driving for free. Gosh!

How do you guys do it?

Do you accept bank transfer?

They’ve been saying network issue as I have called both of them now.

If another rider asks me “what is the color of your car?”, I just may lose my mind.

I was so frustrated yesterday, my ratings on bolt have dropped from 5 to 4.9, na wa...

I can’t tell who gave me the one stars but I know for sure this one lady did.

First she called and asked “where are you?”, and I was like can’t you see me on your map?

Then when I got to her pickup, she was like what is the color of your car? My head just dropped.

I mean unless, the ride was ordered for you, why will you ask me for my car color when everything should be on the app? Or isn’t it on the app? I haven’t used bolt as a rider before, only Uber.

I kept mute when she asked for my car color, then when she finally entered my car, she was like you are rude. I knew the one star was already sure, so I just dammed the rating consequences and told her that it’s a very annoying question if she was the one that booked the ride. I told her all my information including my name should be on her phone.

She then said what if I came with a different car? I was like why would you enter a car that is different from the one on your app? Why would the app show Benz as pickup and the driver shows up in a Yota and you will still enter?

Anyways, bad mood is hopefully gone and I can get back to 5 stars, cause usually I don’t let things like this bother me, but yesterday, I was so short fused and was tired of all the stupid questions.

Where are you?
What is your name?
What is the make of your car?
What is the color of your car?
....

Broken my rules of night driving

Still stuck in lekki epe

Never again, never ever!

Indriver is soooo annoying

Why will they charge you when a passenger cancels?

So you burn petrol and time, then rider doesn’t show and you have to pay?

I think I will start driving less with them.

chillex8:
Na to face mainland back. No time

I wish I was at home, I’m stuck outside now.

1 hour to cover 4km

Lekki epe blocked now, avoid if you can.

Moferere:
If we conduct a proper research on you now, it will not be surprising that you are from one of the states from pọtọpọtọ Republic

What does where I’m from have to do with the subject matter?

It’s shameful that we are in a state in Nigeria where road commissioning is seen as a huge deal.

We are so used to mediocrity that we sing the praises of political leaders for constructing tiny 5-20km roads.

Then the governors will come out and cut ribbon, just because of a road that is supposed to be done by a local government.

These guys have so ruined Nigeria that they feel you, yes you, will be elated on seeing the new road, that’s why they throw parties, hire dancers, and the likes, just so they can open a road that has been constructed with tax payers money. They even sometimes have a so called “high table” for the so called V.I.Ps, to talk and talk and receive praise for doing just a tiny percentage of their official duties.

Then again, what do we expect? When the road to your house has been bad since you were a child, and it’s just now getting fixed when you are already an adult? I guess it would be time to throw a party, as per, thank God our slave masters finally deemed us worthy to give us roads, one of the most basic aspects of governance.

Sometimes, even two or more governors will abandon their post to join the commissioning party for that basic 10km road. To them, they have done you rats a big favor.

God have mercy on us!

remele2:
I think if ladies will understand that this guys are rending service and not one slave u command up and down without respect,,.... U will see why guys dnt complain much the way we ladies do...

Lets take for instance the ambiance on the out side is about 120 Fahrenheit which is about 49 degrees Celsius which is almost half of a boiling poin forgetting that the car is pure pan... And u start( shouting Oga, is ur AC On)? But u are seating the back seat with all the make-up on ur faze like helmet,, how will the AC touch you biko.....

When i need that AC and i am on heavy make-up i go to the front seat ooooo to enjoy my money.....

Car that u cant stay for 8hrs u are already behaving like the owner, and ordering the driver around with commanding Voice...

Lol, so what if an Uber driver is ordered around?

Why do we have so many animals living in this zoo called Nigeria?

So because they ordered driver around, driver should become so annoyed and start beating people?

Chai!

When the driver can simply end the ride.

The thought process of Nigerians is indeed fascinating.

DonAlexi:
Start with justice for men because it’s stated there that the woman abuse the man because if he didn’t maybe the men won’t have get angry many people don’t know how to control their anger and women shouldn’t always think they can say anything to anybody anyhow and come online to play the innocent game

So when someone says something bad to you, the consequence is beating?

Chai! Animal!

Animal in the zoo.

BRATISLAVA:
The misogynists and women batterers are out in full force. The total comments when a woman is the victim of violence from yet another driver.

The reason why this always happens with women in Ubers is because of people like the commenters on the last 4 pages. They hate women so much that driving them around has them triggered. They are so triggered that once she says something they have their fists out.

Of course when faced with a man like themselves, they know they cannot beat him to a pulp and get away with it by claiming he had a sharp tongue, even when they pick up drug addicts who don't want to pay them. This is why it's called gender based violence.

This thread is opinionated by bottom feeders who have come out with their usual skewed reasoning. The only people who can make these comments must be so embittered that reasoning is lost. If it were a man in that picture, they would believe him without doubt. Of course he is completely innocent.

And for those who say that the driver wouldn't have such high ratings, you clearly are lying to yourselves. There are some terrible Ubers who aren't rated, because it is better to just be done with them than have anything to do with them once the ride is over.

Whether or not she started it, she is bleeding and that should tell you enough about the animal that drove her. He should be in jail in a country with men who have brains, not men who reason through their private parts and ego. That driver looks ugly, evil and violent .

Real bottom feeders men!

I was shocked reading all the responses and everyone seems to be supporting the driver.

Bottom feeding roaches, I can’t even imagine what all these commenter are like in person.

ajumma:
Police and security personnel that you people lynch and hated most?

Bunch of indiscipline and lazy youth dotted all over the country

So what is your solution? That the chaos and lawlessness continue?

This response is probably the thought process of our leaders; they just don’t care, sad!

Btw, why are you acting like you just landed in Nigeria? When has police ever pulled people over except that brief period of Ambode?

I’m not talking about pulling people over at a STATIONARY checkpoint, but actually giving chase and intercepting?

If not for Hollywood, will someone like you know what it means to get pulled over by police?

You Nigerians just love to deceive yourselves forming “wise”

treesun:
That is the pure truth, I came around Chevron. I was shocked how okada, those white small bus were driving against traffic, as I was going back to Mainland, Okada flying one way, sometimes with two passengers on a bike. Very scary. Sanwoolu will still want to toll this road. Lekki people are suffering and smilling!

Those passengers that follow okada to do one-way on lekki epe don’t love their lives.

It is so easy for a driver that isn’t paying attention to a hazard coming his/her way to ply those guys at like 80km/h.

See traffic below, my goodness.

When you get down to the road, you will see that a lack of maintenance coupled with lack of law and order causes this.

Some traffic lights don’t work, and of course, there is never any police officer enforcing laws, hence chaos.

At least during Ambodes time when he introduced those 112 police squad cars, the police was very enthusiastic about pulling people over. Any small thing, they’ve pulled you over.

Now, danfos run amok, running red lights, stopping everywhere, with no law enforcement even turning around to look at them.

Then as always, due to a complete and utter lack of law and order, drivers will turn a 3 lane road into a 6 lane road, leading to multiple minor accidents, halt on free flow of traffic and so on.

All this can be solved, it’s so simple, just have the police stop each and every car they can that breaks the law. Laws like running red lights, driving on the bush path of the road and so on. That way you eliminate a bunch of the chaos and traffic on this route.

I really wish I was in charge sometimes.

May God help us and bless us.

Have you ever seen a democratically elected president that has majorly avoided the press like Buhari?

Remember during GEJs time when he used to have media chats

Look at how Trump was always answering questions from the media

Even Biden that has a reputation of hiding from the media still takes questions much, much more frequently than Buhari.


Buhari really doesn’t care, as Femi Adesina will say, “It’s not his style”. It’s not the style of Buhari to comfort, console, update... Nigerians.

This guy has bastardized that position so badly.

Now it is an event anytime Buhari wants to speak to the press, every 6 months. He will sit down with his slippers all relaxed while quivering reporters field inane questions.


Even if I don’t totally support Osinbajo as he is also a part of this government, I applaud him for going around and being engaged back then during Buharis absence. This guy even entered toilet of airport like “surprise modafvkers!”. I just wonder why Osinbajo stopped doing all that.

We need that kind of president that is not afraid to enter into “regular” society to see how things are operating. What we have no is a far cry away from that. What we have now, won’t even talk to media, always issuing statements via proxy no matter what happens.

Even when mass killings happen, all you get is a statement.

Remember the famous funny line “There is God ooo”. At least she cared enough to wail to the public and not be completely and utterly silent. Who would have thought we’d be going from bad to “worstestest”?

Felicity0001:
Good you finally realised yourself on time.

You want to revamped the entire AC system with a new auto compressor... I was actually waiting to hear your testimony of how you changed over 3 auto compressors b4 you later resorted to manual type.

Well, all the same... My next advise is use the car for the 6months period you've settled for or for say 1yr then sell it and buy another with out any issue.

Peace of mind is priceless.

Me I can't come and kill myself on top car wahala.

Lol, bros I no go sell my car ooo.

I still love it, I just need to do maintenance that’s all.

Thanks for your advice bro, I just had to get working ac fast, and now I’m earning higher making up for my loses.

God bless bro!!

Felicity0001:
Replace the condenser as well and the evaporator dryer as well. Don't gamble it at all if not your solenoid compressor will pack up

I had to pause my quest to restore my ac system to factory standards as it was just going to cost too much for now.

Being that I didn’t want to miss out on making money this period with a bad compressor, I just went ahead and replaced the compressor with another cheap manual compressor.

Replaced the condenser as well, as mine was clogged badly. I discovered it was clogged when I hosed the condenser and it still had wet spots on it after a while with the ac running. There were severe temperature differences in close proximity across the condenser surface, meaning parts were clogged and refrigerant wasn’t flowing through some sections. In fact, the first three rows were all at ambient temperature, which was a HUUGE red flag.

Anyways, I think I just bought myself six months at least to save up again for the new compressor as I have used up my “car maintenance” savings on this repair.

Testing with my probe thermometer shows about 17 degrees Celsius coming out the vents now, and like 24 degrees after 5 minutes on a hot afternoon, obviously dropping with time.

Now I can drive in the afternoon again, yay!

Note that you don’t really have to change the evaporator, but it can be flushed cause most of the compressor debris material would first clog up your condenser and the filter/dryer should catch most big chunks along with the orifice/expansion valve. So I wouldn’t flush a condenser but replace it, but I would flush an evaporator.

Black man cutting ribbon and hiring naked dancers because of a 1-2 kilometer road.

Not because they are going to space ooo

Or because they just invented some new shhh

Noooooo

Chai!

White man with gun: You black people of different tribes must be joined together so that we have better access to your resources.

Black man (Nigerian): Yes Maser! We will remain together no matter what, even if we must kill 3 million people, we must uphold your decision Maser! Thank you Maser!

mrvitalis:
Any law can work anywhere as long as people know there is no escaping justice for breaking the law no matter the excuse

The problem with Africans is our leaders have this wishful thinking that one day people decide to always do good ,obey laws n keep Africa clean

If u break traffic light and by 12 am 500k is removed from your account ...even if u have less your account enters negative ...you won't dare do that again

Enforcement of laws is what's important

You have spoken very well.

Meanwhile see others on the thread already making jokes.

Everything is just a joke to Nigerians, even suffering.

ictplotter:
This is a case between senior criminals vs junior criminals. Policemen n lastma officials are partners in crime.

Don’t you feel compassion for the lady at all?

In this case, she was trying to do the right thing by enforcing law and order.

Do you know how far law and order will take Nigeria?

People in this country just pretend everyday that all is well when it clearly isn’t. We live in a completely insane society, to the point we’re we can’t even feel any sympathy for the lone officer that’s trying to do the right thing.
