Something happened yesterday.
Got a request from platinum way , a girl requested and called immediately, I arrived at the PU and was waiting only for a guy to show up and said we were headed to Ikoyi. Fine. On our way he said he was going to transfer I told him I must see alert o he said no wahala that I will see it. Got there but he was told they were done with NIMC for the day. He requested I take him back offline I agreed. Asked for 100 naira to photocopy a form he needed for the NIMC whatever I gave him(in my mind na 100 naira na.)
On our way back approaching toll gate,I told him to start sending the money so that I will get alert before reaching his destination he said ok. Kept complaining of network, I decided to share my hotspot as I no fit hear story.
He kept shoveling his phone like say he no sabi operate am again. And said he has sent it. I told him I need confirmation he gave me his phone. After careful examination (while driving o) I realized baba didn’t send it. He simply brought out my details but didn’t initiate the transfer. I told him to complete it and he collected the phone and claimed to have completed it. Got to drop off. I told him if I don’t see alert he isn’t going anywhere.
He started saying rubbish and I changed it for him. (The fare was #1650 * 2).
He asked me to wait at the gate that he will get money from his friend for me.
Long story short he quickly entered their compound and I bounced inside with him. Bounced inside his family house as well.
I realized there was a back road that he planned on using to get away.
After he realized I was ready for wahala. His family and friends started trying to calm us down . I tell them say my money or police matter.
He started making calls begging for people to transfer money to my account. After like 10 whatsapp calls 2k comot.
I tell them say e remain 1400.

The whole family task themselves until 1100 show. I couldn’t drag anymore as about 4 matured men forming yahoo boys could only produce 1100. I just weak. Collected my money and left.
Mean while I was making calls as well claiming I was calling the police and they were already on their way.
I sent a whatsappp message to my guy to help me form police officer coming from osapa London.
If not, those guys for no bring my money out.
That guy didn’t have #500 in his account but had the liver to enter Taxify as e sure for an say he go scam driver.. (to and fro)

Luxurydriverng:


This is not why the government is coming for we drivers, what dey will do is already pre planned

As per government officer that you are na.

afroxyz:


I know. My question is not related to his post. Just asking. A colleague wants to start driving on Sundays only

Let him drive and find out na... it’s that too hard again?

Ghost1994:



Naso my brother..

But Uber no Dey owe Money dem go pay you your money.

And also, some of the major reasons why Uber Dey blocked account be say if you canceled too many trips (they must’ve warned you for this).

If you start trip without rider in your car.

If you have a physical abuse on your rider (slap, punch, beats etc).

If you lie on many cash trips that you didn’t received cash payments and they refund you.

If customer report you that you came with another vehicle which is different from the one you have on your profile (this one go make dem vex).

If you vex dropped rider on isolated area (rider rude to you around 9pm and you con vex drop him/her on top third mainland bridge) and he/she con report you before you write Uber, your account don go be that.

Rider got robbed by driver.

You didn’t return riders missing item(s)

NB: I didn’t claim you did any of these options but *they can’t just yank you off without any reason(s)*.

Think about it Baba

Yes they can... go and ask...

ncnerio:

Abeg when then send your balance let us know here. My 11,548 still dey with them just after the lock down when pick distance was just crazy them block my account with all email asking for my balance them say the account has been remove from thier system since them block me. I dey wait them office to open to go ask why my hard earn balance never drop.

You will get every penny after 3 months..

UcLloyd:

There isn’t..

UcLloyd:
My car papers expired this April, hope it won't disqualify me on Bolt? Urgent response guys, mbok

Felicity0001:
I just did something very bad now but if I can handle it to the very last I won't regret it all.

After my last post I got a trip to magodo via set destination to Abule-Egba. 1.5km to drop off another request came in 6.3km (had I known I wouldnt have picked it.

Rider didnt call till I droppes of and time was 9:51pm already. Dropped off and the. GMap says 3.8km to pickup ETA 18min; 10:03pm.

Put a call through to riderer.

Me: hi, gudevening pls where you going to pls?
R: Berger
M: pls kindly req another ride it's off my path
R: Okay

I thought this guy waa gonna cancel but he didn't.

I calles him again.

M: pls sir you still haven't cancelled.
R: I'll be charged you cancel.
Me: you still have time to cancel without being charged pls kindly cancel so I can get a ride towards my destination.
R: Okay.

Guy still refused to cancel.

I then drove down to pu, waited for about 6min could see it was a card trip na there devil come enter my Godly heart and I said let me teach this guy a hard lesson since you want to spoil my own make me help you spoil your own too.

I started trip, got to Berger did solo 4passengers to ogba. I then decided to end trip at excellent hotel.

As I reach out the stupid guy sent me a textbwithin.

How do I report to uber now is what I'm trying to think now.

If you a good and constructive lie I can give to uber pls help me out.

This is all shade of wrong.. I do not support this at all. You didn’t have to do that.. shei cancellation fee no do you?

No wonder some people believe drivers on nairaland are scammers and thieves..

And you even wrote it up here. The internet!!
SMH for you.

E no finish here o.
Just so you know...

Crvrider:


Any ride from a thousand down, I don't put on ac, I just give a flimsy excuse. If its 2k and above you re entitled to ac.

I really doubt this but ok

jpworld:


Do you believe that online page?

Wait let Lagos state release a statement then u will believe it.

The online page is not credible, a group of people claiming union, wrote to PS and PS reply them to come, lets hear wats the problem, and they are using the Lagos state government reply to make false news, so it will look like the union has been working so hard.

How many 3 years old car 2017, did u see on Lagos road?

70% of cars on Lagos road is above 10years.

I just hope it’s not true. But you see anything that has to do with Lagos state government eh, they can wake up and make a decision and not give an F what happens to the populace...
Let’s watch and see.

chillex8:

I blame the Driver-partner community for even accepting LASDRI and HACKNEY permit.

Government never means well for the citizens, especially LASG.

This operating license has always been an Issue right from 2016, but Uber/Bolt did not relent.
The driver-partner community sold themselves out.
That’s what you get when you have hypocrites at the forefront of drivers’ union.

In an nutshell: LASG will win. Uber/Bolt will win. Driver-partner community will loose.

Bitter truth...

jpworld:


License fee of app operators not my business, if Lagos like make them bill uber 500 billion, it doesn't concern me.

Una just dey take panadol 4 uber headache.

My concern in this business is my rent, my fixing of cars to be in standard.

The union/comrade guy watever are only concern of their pocket, very soon they will start asking u 1000 naira registrations.

not interested in ur welfare. The danfo union people, how far with them? Make money off danfo drivers and enrich themselves

The day uber business no pay anybody we pack our bag and move to another business.

I bet you didn’t read to the end.

Car must be brand new or not older than 3 years...

The part that got me is the designated park for e-hailing drivers... as per danfo abi?
What is now the point of it being e-hailing...
Lagos just want to distabilize the market before introducing theirs...

Time will tell.

Hello guys, please what are the steps to be a partner on Uber/Bolt platforms.

You obviously have a phone, please google.

Bigleaf1006:


You can post pics of the car here,so drivers can make quick and informed decisions.

Some people post defective cars here and put drivers through a lot of stress and time wasting for these bad cars.

Just saying, cos I feel it would help.

Seconded!!!

Bigleaf1006:


Post pics of the car let's see

Seconded!!!!!

izzou:


They check VIN now?

Because all the ones I've done in the past na just formalities

With #500, they can put an 2022 Camry as 04 Camry.

Never underestimate the power of corruption in this country

Vin number is requested now. Whether or not they verify it is another story on its own.

Aksnoopy:
Seriously! I thought it's 30k weekly?

You thought wrong.

Aksnoopy:
Please someone should help out.
I have a 2006 Toyota Camry I want to put in for UBER/TAXIFY.
How much will a driver deliver to me weekly if I give it out?

20-25k now o...

glambo:



Abeg what is "loud" ooooooo
Help educate a learner brother

Weed laced with some other chemical (that I don’t know to get you 10* higher.)

Una de this lagos with us so?

Olayetan:


I have hands-on experience in the job, and i know the 30k weekly isn't issue for me and since its HP, it will only speed up my payment plan.

I'm only concern about the total package, does it worth going for?

30k weekly is no problem for you and you say you have hands on experience ?

I hope you don’t mind me asking but when was the last time you drove on the system?

Anyway good luck and remember all expenses are on you....
peace.

Olayetan:
Pilots, pls help me reason this before desperation ends me below 6ft.


Got a deal from this same NL from a gentleman.


He has Big daddy Tokunbo to give out on HP, he requires initial deposit of 100k but i pleaded all i can raise is 30k which he's putting into consideration as i speak.

Total package on the car is 3m which I'm to be paying 30k weekly for a consecutive period of 100weeks, tho, i personally know the amount is much on the car but due to my desperation, I'm considering diving into the deal as from my own view and i intend to have little savings for unforeseen repairs and maintenance while if possible, i pay more than the 30k weekly to speed up the deal.

Note, I'm single and don't have much responsibility on me.

Now i want to hear from you all, your opinion on the deal, does it worth the sacrifice?
Pls advise me in every angle.

My advice for you is go for rentals for now....
you clearly have little or no experience in this.
This is also not the best of times for this business...


Go for rental for now..

jpworld:


What did u see driving Uber? Olosho insult u?
Go slow for road? Owner 4 dash u the car bc u see all those things.

U don dey hustle since 2000/2002 for wharf, why not go back to wharf, since uber driving job is tough.

Bros, no b fight. Fell free to give out your car for 35k. If you get someone to drive and deliver steadily good and fine. You don’t have to insult anyone. Millions for car is not a small thing. We understand where you are coming from but please don’t choke it on anyone. Thanks.

Crvrider:
Hello FAM. Please this is the scratch in my car. Will it affect uber inspection report?

Baba, use hydrolic oil to clean it very well and go for your inspection.::

davit:
Very interesting read. Guys you need to read this.

My own observation is most ladies on island axis are runs girls. I pity those whose girlfriends are in Lekki,
Agungi Ajah areas.

If you like hide your own for mainland.... you can only keep who wants to be kept.... simple.
