CutieKing:
Next time you decide to ride again,try to take to heart these warnings...
1...Dont assume you own the vehicle
2...dont assume the driver is your paid employee
3....dont assume your life is more important than the life of the driver.
4...always sit at the back sit and not focus entirely to what the driver is doing..they are equally safety conscious as you.
The idea you can control your driver is very common among our people especially the ladies and it's a bad habit.In abroad,you dont have to talk to your uber driver when you feel hes wrong,there is a comment box you can post your comment and the company will do the rest.correcting or giving drivers orders are plain wrong and should be discouraged.
The driver is a very nice gentleman.

Ok when you are “in the abroad” and your uber driver removes his hands from the steering more than twice don’t say anything just go to the “comment box” and post your comment and let the company do the rest you hear . Let me also add that you shouldn’t focus on the driver you can sleep off while he smokes or drinks .

Please ensure you heed my advice o !!

CaptainStephen:
we would go scuba diving
I used to have water phobia before but all changed.

Is there anything like scuba driving in Nigeria ? Or an outlet for that in Nigeria ? I really doubt it ! I think you watch too many foreign movies or you are not based in Nigeria .lol

CaptainStephen:
Fear fear

Let me help get rid of your phobia for water.

Oya na I’m ready . But how do you want to help me ?

Aidejay:
Here is the remaining part
Note: absolute waste of time.

my mind with fear and anger . At this moment I’m like “Oga what’s the meaning of this one ? you can’t be doing that with me here. I don’t understand the meaning of this style abi you want to be unfortunate this morning nii ? Please try and focus and I would advice that it’s only when you are by yourself you try this experiment not with a passenger in the car “. Next thing Oga will say is “are you scared ? Me I don’t want to die too” . I replied “ if you don’t want to die, please drive well!! I noticed the same thing the other time . For Christ sake we are in the middle lane anyone and any vehicle can approach us from both directions in split seconds .

How do you want to get the composure to put your hands on the wheels not to talk of the ability of swerving when your arms are in the air”. This man started laughing o that’s when I knew that the person I was riding with had problems with his brain and I have “shi oko wo” (entered the wrong vehicle). By now I was already questioning myself on why I didn’t cancel the trip at first when I had the strange feeling “Orimi eledami eshanu mi, I’m sorry if I ever sinned against you oh lord my God , please forgive me . I won’t sin no more ,just get me off this ride safely”. I began to pray .


Finally we got to my destination and I was so relieved and of course I saved the drivers details and couldn’t stop thinking about the speech I was gonna make later in the day to the cab company when I eventually get home later that day . Anyway, this was one my most horrifying experiences using a E-ride hailing service in Lagos. The others vary from being driven by a sleepy driver to having to be with a driver who wouldn’t stop handling with his man junk and another driver who refused to stop talking to me and another that went ballistic because I wasn’t listening to his gist, this one even screamed at me “listen to me !!! I’m talking to you !!! . I want to tell you a story !!! I retorted “Ori eleyi ti yii pata pata “ (this one has completely lost his senses ), and to the one that wouldn’t stop touching my hand while talking ( another disadvantage of siting at the front sit ) . It goes on and on. The things wey eye done see for this Lagos . If I decide to write about them you all will get burnt-out. Anyways I just decided to let you have a sneak peek into my traumatic experience of that day . I hope you enjoyed reading . You can let me know if you have experienced something similar or any odd experience you have also witnessed while using a ride hailing service in the comment section. Merry Christmas in advance !

Oh really ? Waste of time ? Yet you read it through and still came to post it . A typical example of when people waste your time but you can’t get enough . Thank you jarey

This is what I call rough play..

Lol. Very serious rough play . I’m not forgetting that experience anytime soon .

Anyways we embarked on the trip and I started to apply my makeup because I hadn’t had enough time to do that initially . Naturally , I prefer sitting at the passengers seat in the front so I can always have eye on the driver and caution him when needed . I know what you are thinking . Lol wahala girl yii po (this girl is really troublesome) so I noticed he kept stealing glances at me probably looking at the transformation taking place . Then I asked “are you uncomfortable with me applying makeup in your car? Do you feel like I’m going to stain your car with some of it ? Because I’m absolutely not going to do that . He replied “No I’m not . I wasn’t even staring “ Now I’m like “hmmmm!!!alright o “. So Incase I haven’t mentioned, I have a terrible phobia for large bodies of water and as to be expected as soon as we began approaching 3rd mainland bridge sweat began to break out on my forehead. I could feel my pulse quicken, the blood in my veins flow , my veins standing out of my skin and every strand of hair on my head. But I was maintaining my composure and controlling my breathing as they have thought us to.


That’s when Oga in dada (dreadlocks) decided to remove his hands from the steering for a few seconds . In my mind I’m like “Pelumi just calm down ! Don’t go off on his ass ! If you show yourself now and he orders you out of the vehicle in the middle of the ocean ,what will you do ?”. So I was quiet. He later decided to use only one arm on the steering as soon as he remembered he had one (at least better than using none at all)and I became somewhat calm . Until about some seconds after again he removed his two hands from the steering . It was at this moment Crazy-Pea decided to join the show . Crazy -Pea is one of my alter ego’s that comes out when I’m going out of my mind with fear and anger . At this moment I’m like “Oga what’s the meaning of all this ?” I asked

I’m hoping that the Lagos state government would find a lasting solution to transportation problems in Lagos and not just formulate policies that would be favorable to them only but also to the masses at large . The country is honestly already hard enough . It can be argued that this move (the ban) is a covert attempt at increasing the revenue for government since many members of the population would be left to solely depend on buses. Such buses now pay additional fees(especially now)per loading to the Lagos state through “agberos” who then remunerate to the Lagos state government . Others have even argued that there would soon be alternatives provided which would be completely monopolized by the state government most likely to the detriment of the people. It is however, of great importance to understand that whenever policies like these are made ,better alternatives should be made available.
