Pelican hotel and other hotels in chevyview are home of idiots. I dont pick riders there esp those ones heading to d mainland, they wont pay and u cant trace them. Since last mth, i startd asking all my riders where they are going to... and am doing well now.
I picked two guys frm zasari hotel in chevyview on taxify but did not ask them their destination. We got to surulere to ojuelegba to mushin then iyanu ipaja. They told me they had no money. Their guys wanted to even rob me d little i med. People advised me to go. Hm; m
Another time frm chevyview i picked two guys to festac. It was a smooth ride till we got to cele. They started tapping my back while i didnt lock d car. I apologized and sensed danger. I drove them stregith to festac police station and stoped inside. I called one sars guy that the guys in my car were criminals. It took them almost 3hrs to get my money.
I was in surulere wen i got a request to pick a percel frm peace mass in orile to oriental hotel. I packed my car in a bank and took okada to the place. B4 i got to peace, d guy was standing beside peace waiting. D rider called me again to give 4k to d guy which i did. I went to my car and started a jorny. I got to oriental but d rider was no where. I called and will ask me to wait that he was in a crucial meeting lol. I decided to open d percel hmmm it was filled with children old books.
So be careful when u pick riders. I must ask u ur destination b4 u see me.

Thanks. You are right about that hotel, I picked a rider there few days before the last incident , I took him to Ikotu and he paid 700 less than the amount. He was calling his guys ( asking one other guy around if "boy" dey around) I let him go.

A colleague driver on told me that if I am to use Taxify then I should switch-on my Mafia mode. Criminals patronize Taxify more so be tough. I have a weapon in my car, by the driver's side just in case. I had almost been strangled, thank God for creating confusion that caused my escape that night.

In this business you have to set ur rules.

1. If on the 1st approach the person sounds rude, I bcom careful.
2. If group of men looking irresponsible, I make car excuse or emergency.
3. I arrive at ur place and u take more time than necessary- customer no show(cancel).
4.We are on a trip and u start talking funny, police station case.
5. I don't feel comfortable with u as a rider? Get out of my car.

Even if Uber or Taxify wants to make my picking a rider a do or die affair. I have the right to choose life. Nigeria is not America, the harsh economy and the evil in the black Man's mind is inconceivable. U need to look at the faces and hear what comes off the mouth of some riders it shows desperation and frustration.

Why after taking 12mins to locate you in your pigeonhole with terrible roads and wait for additional 10mins before getting onboard, you still have the guts to talk down on me and rate me low?

My dear Nigeria is not America, so set your rules to survive or you'll be eaten.

Thanks a lot for this.

Today so far

You've made some good points but in reference to the part in bold - riders didn't ask for Uber's ridiculous price slash,scrapping of UberSelect and reduction in vehicle entry to year 2000.
They were generally happy with paying that lil extra for top quality rides and experience (vehicle + driver makes the experience worthwhile) and even moreso for the UberSelect category. Uber (and Taxify) choose to downgrade, so the rider will not mind. now the vehicles are crappy and majority of the drivers are ... (insert anything )

iamspeedracer:


I don't support the way the drivers are cutting corners, but uber really needs to increase its fares or this things will continue. I once picked up a rider from international airport at 10pm to Magodo phase 2 end only to be given 1300 after 25% commission and 400 naira in toll.
fares
I was really down when I saw the fare, but what could I do, even the fuel burnt was almost more than that if not more, I drive for myself so no problem took it as a personal loss. What happens to a driver that has 40k to deliver weekly?
It's either they find a way to force the partners to reduce their cut or uber also reduces its commission and increases fares if not, more people will continue to lament.
Lastly the average Nigerian is greedy. They all want 2010 and above cars yet they want to keep paying the ridiculous uber fares its not possible.
If you buy a car of 5 million at 90k per week after deduction how many years will you use to refund the money if it's a loan?

You should be able to get a lightly used corolla or camry for that range or a little more. i have some in top condition that you may want to look at, let me know if interested.

I agree with you. Uber needs to take it fare back up and reduce commission.
25% is alot of money

Uber/taxify should put strict measures b4 using the app as a rider. They should know their customers (KYC) b4 using d app, u must register with ur bank ATM card compulsory, in case of Robbery or any mojor issues they'll know how to find d person. That's why I dread night driving. Please we should dedicate a day for such real life stories so people can take precautions maybe last day of d month.

Pls I'm interested driver who need a car. I have both the uber and taxify drivers app. And a perfect driver who is honest and dedicated. 08165757212

Please what's making rating drop so bad. I just carry one lady and even if she rate me 1 or zero it should not drop to 4.68 from 4.92 on taxify.

most of pelican hotel night riders are bad peeps including the olosho. Any time from 11:30pm down its advisable to decline riders going from island to festac, island to Ishodi and ikorodu.

Almost fell for this, oriel to golden tulip festac. Their catch is to call a highbrow hotel so u feel relaxed. Y'all be careful about parcel delivery sha, if posiible never accept them, you're not DHL or UPS.
Hmm, times are wicked

Taxify rating is enemy of progress, easy to come down but hard to increase

Just 52 rides o n dey gave me like 20k extra

Hello, please did you get a message regarding your bonus for the week beforehand? Because the same taxi is scamming me, I did 48 trips
They promised 15k for doing 41trips or more but they only credited me 12k. I wonder why

I support this measure, I also believe driving on uber is safer at night in case of fraudsters cis uber will refund you, you don't need to quarrell or hassle anyone. That's just my own opinion

but why? Its like drivers are much. My uber rating goes down one after d other, I think their motive is to make sure drivers come for training and retraining

taxify 60 trips 100k guarantee is a scam.

they said 100k after taxify commission.

they tried to confuse us with this.

Romeo3:

gbam!!! They don scam romeo. Taxify want you to do better than your previous week before they can give bonus

if you tell me that i am getting 100k after taxify commission, my net earnings should be 100,000.

who is the fool here?

uber's guranteed 90k is after commission.

look at taxify.
