Felicity0001:


In that case did you bought from him after wards, how long did you petronized him before you noticed the cracking sound on your engine? If it's more than twice or thrice then I don't think he deserves a second chance and you also need to tell us if after you called his attention to it weather you still bought oil from him/her and the difference you saw.

For you to have recommended 20W50 from Mobil filling stations and then GAZZUZZ for synthetic it therefore means you've given up faith on all of these so call importers of motor oil due to your unfortunate experience and have stopped doing business with the fake oil importer.

One thing we all should know is this, that a product is from the USA, UK or any other reputable overseas countries doesn't make it genuine or authentic o same way we have fake in Nigeria is same way we also have fake products over there the only thing is theirs is minimal.

Going forward I still think you should mention that person let him come up and clear his name so it can serve as a lesson to anyone who thinks they can get rich quick by doing shady business or go scout free on every wrong doing but if you shade the person its therefore means you're supporting evil and keeping a blind eyes while seeing innocent people falling into a dish.

Chillex8 at some point called out dru23 for selling Castro to him that dried up after few days, many times here dru23 has also not failed to call out drivers who in the end we have seen are innocent so bro call that person out lets here from him.

The right reply from driver should be "Who are you?"

How do you order a ride and call a driver and the next thing is "where are you?" At least start with "I ordered a ride.........."

Johnnybegood12:


At the bolded is true.
This business is formality,
The rider already made a request (ordering for a ride) and as a driver u already accepted the request.
The next step should be straight to business.
Where are you!

But then we are wired differently

Good afternoon, brother.
I was expecting some senior men to talk about buying a Honda car as Nigerian used. lipsrsealed
Because I hear a lot of people condemning buying Nigerian-used cars for bolt/Uber work.
Abi e no mean anything ni?

Any car brand can give a problem if it is in a bad shape. Nothing bad in buying a nigerian used honda or any car as far as you buy a sound car.

Know what you want and how to go for it

Good luck

I doubt if any driver will want to pick you from ibadan to Lagos using the app...most will want it offline...as doing it online won't favour the driver.... In regards to your question to load and a +1 rider, as long as your load is considered moderate by the prospective driver and you also keep the driver in the know, that he is picking 2 of you, I think no problem... Bolt/Uber gives room for luggages as long as it's what the driver thinks he can afford to carry.

I think some drivers take what the read here so serious and act on it, hook, line, and sinker.

Please, your rider is not your enemy. They are your customers. You need them as much as they need you. Being unnecessarily rude and hostile especially when the rider hasn't given you any reason to do so is unacceptable.

My sister ordered a ride and when the driver arrived, my sister was gesturing for him to wind down his glass so she can confirm he's her driver but the driver ignored her and kept a straight face.

He rather was inside gesturing to my sister to open the door. When she finally did, the guy was asking her if she didn't see the details of his car on the app.

Mehn, you don't just start quarreling with people especially someone you are to provide a service to when there's no provocation at all.

All of us here that complain of riders not reading the car details are guilty of not paying attention to some certain things in the daily services that we receive. Let's learn to be patient and tolerant in this business please.

Once a rider asks me the color of my car, I don't hesitate to tell him or her because it's faster and less stressful to do so than arguing on whether or not the rider can't read the details in the car.

In some cases, the rider may not be knowledgeable enough to know that those other details are in the app. Some of these guys are not that tech savvy. You might be surprised to know that some people use Android phones but have never opened Google Chrome or any browser on their phones. All they know is Facebook, Instagram, etc. Apps, apps only. They can't even make a Google search.

Please, it's a service not a war. Your rider is not your enemy.

Yea, but in this case both driver and rider had injuries and the car is a right-off. Even if he didn't report, he can't drive that car again. There should be some sort of compensation when stuffs like this happen.
If it was fatal now, Ride share company will delete the trip and make it look like it was an offline trip. All these has to stop.

Has there ever been such incident of them deleting a trip? I haven't heard of such.

In the olden days if you can’t read or write you are an illiterate.
But this our generation if you can’t operate (apps / techy / online ) you are an illiterate, even if you can read or write.
Though Corner44 talks about semi-illiterate grin only him can explain grin

So I don’t care your level of education if you can’t operate simple apps like banking apps , ehailing apps, Snapchat, Twitter, wether on android or iPhone you are an illiterate.
There is nothing you can tell me today ,
Once I hear
“Where are you”’,
what’s the color of your car?
What’s you name ?
Can you on your hazzal light grin (festac girl)
Are you my driver ?
If you like wear suit and have phd you are an illiterate.

Having said that , we have 3 types of drivers approach to this hustle
1. Hoodlum driver approach : very high temper, waiting for rider to mess up and dey flare up, shout at you, like you and rider get personal beef before.

2. Ikejamanism/simps like or mumu approach
Licking riders Ass cos of ratings, Shouting yes ma upandan, going down to open boot, carrying bags and undies for ladies, dashing dem 500# and keep d change

3. Veteran approach:
They only care about d trip, is it surge, is it cash trip, is it long distance , is it good road. They may not greet you at all or care if you ask stupid question. Just let’s go.

In all, the mood of the driver per time and quality of trip determines their approach.

I’m not against you or your post just stating my point, in fact Some or must drivers too are illiterate but story for other day.

I understand we need to be calming down too But dis Lagos no dey help matter.
Many are mad few are roaming

Simple&short. And she'll spread the gospel among her peers. we need to change the face of this rideshare industry for good.

I follow a telegram platform of South African Bolt Drivers, which comprises mainly of J'oburg, pretoria, capetown city drivers.

Going by their daily ordeals in rideshare, I concluded that Nigeria and indeed Lagos (being cosmopolitan city and microcosm of ehailing industry) has a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng way to go, infact we are not yet there in terms of being urbanely behaved, polite, poise and of good public conduct.
Its sad, both on part of drivers&riders

Reno has this say!

If it was Governor Wike that that CSP disobeyed, he would have known that there are governors and there are Governors. Sanwoolu can’t claim to be in charge in Lagos after this incident. Pointus Pilate is only in charge to the extent Buhari allows. Wike would not tolerate that in Rivers, and something must happen to that CSP. Sadly, Sanwoolu is not assertive enough for a state like Lagos. And no big surprise. He was picked by Tinubu precisely because of his anodyne nature. Heavy Baba so pe Governor!

The Only thing Wike will do is make plenty noise about the issue. It has happened to Wike before with CP MBA that year.

This is the more reason they will see any car parked at their location and just open without verifying details.

So even the vehicle parked happened to be a personal car with someone sitting in it, she will still ask the occupant to lower the window to ask silly question?

Rude? He handled it in the best possible way without saying a word.

Hoodlum drivers would have taken down their glass and told her to stop asking stupid questions.

Your sister knows how to book and she sure knows how to rate 1 star but she does not know how to check her vehicle details on the app and you're here blaming the driver that handled it in a very professional way by keeping quiet.

As I said, your sister will not ask the next driver to wind down. The driver has passed his message across and your sister has gotten it.

Some riders will even stay beside the car and be asking are you the driver, what if I just said yes and I kidnap you ?

Some will order and will just pop into the next corolla they see, what if all this kidnappers start using this mode to just look out for victims to carry... The app shows the plate number, the face and the car colour..

First thing is look out for the car name....Toyota or Honda or any as displayed to you .

Check the plate number ( in a crowded place, place a call to the driver and asked if he can just step out of the car just to make the identification easier)

Then you can confirm the face.

But no....my people over here, they won't call,...call some of they, their response will be so provoking and the next you will hear is oga follow your map, so oga can follow your map, but you can't follow the app for details.

The service is mutual, I sell you convenience and you pay me for it, so make nobody they form boss/always right for anybody.
