if I am not mistaken, the FG has given phone companies a deadline to get rid of sims not tied verified users. abuse of sims goes way beyond matters like bbnaija

unfortunately, Uber is probably doing it naija style - waiting for someone to get killed on their platform before they roll out policies that ensure all riders are properly identified.

peeps4u:
He is a boss, and that's why he has the liberty to do that which he can't naturally be able to do if he isn't a boss.
BTW, drivers can still cancel and get paid for it by just waiting a lil above 5 mins. Asking you to cancel is to safe your cash and time.
If you as a rider think you're a superior boss, cancel from your end and go sack the driver from the platform as a boss.
NO STORY

Nigeria no go ever better with the way all of us dey do sha, we always give excuse for our wrong doings.

I still don't understand why people need multiple... I've had one for the last four years and definitely do NOT want and/or need another way for people to reach me!

deedee44:

Oh so you're not aware, well.. several drivers have been killed, nice drivers that didn't reject trips to awkward places, and nothing was done by uber/bolt, not even a simple compensation to the family they left behind.

thelastorca:


and none of you complained about this?
and we never heard this in the news?
sorry, i don't believe you
when that jumia rider was killed, it was all over social media

thebigkendo:


Compensation? For what now.. according to the consensus DRIVERS ARE THEIR OWN BOSS

izzou:




Bosses need compensations once in a while na

thelastorca:


how will i suffer?

for me uber is a convenience
before it was around, i was using yellow taxi

for you it is a livelihood, not so?
what will you go to if they and other ehailing platforms leave? will you fill form and go and dobale to some old men at the nearest taxi park

thebigkendo:


Offline trips are the compensations

Abi gala and lacasera dey compensate hawkers when motor jam dem?

How are you sure they don't?

thebigkendo:


It was in the news sir, more than once self..

I remember one when the driver was killed & his car stolen

lin3r2:


Yea I know about those set of people. I select people based on the prompting I get from within. You 100% correct though I have never had any issues with people transferring to me. Almost 7 days ago I dropped a guy at the airport and his fare was 4600 he said his banking app was giving him issues. So I told him to go that I'll send my account number to him. The next day I got an alert of 5500.

I am selective based on the voice inside prompting me.
So yes may God not allow me meet people that will make me change my mind about transfers

By the way, a thought just occurred to me. Let's organize a day and get to know ourselves in person at either the beach or somewhere. I mean the guys on this forum. Those in lagos o. Like a get together.
Just a thought

Funny enough Nigeria is not even uber's biggest African market.. So losing Nigerian market is not a big deal to them in my opinion .. Egypt is the biggest market for them and Some other African countries .. Those market are more important to them than Nigeria.. The only thing here is that uber is trying to get a strong grip ahead of everybody else regardless if the market is big or not ..more like a monopoly control.. We can agree to disagree at the sametime

peeps4u:


That lady will do same to another driver and becomes angry, cursing him if that one rejects such.

deedee44:

We have a telegram group and we do it monthly , NL version will be a welcome development though. I'm in

thelastorca:


And uber did not change any of their policies afterward?

Interesting.

When we had a death on a site, the fallout was massive. So many things were changed.

I am frankly surprised that uber has not made any changes (or so you say) to their operations.

Then again, if they were able to catch the thieves immediately, it tells you they actually are tracking riders even if you think they are not doing so

Walahi you don madt

thelastorca:


I like uber because it brings structure to riding. No arbitrary charges, better safety, means of arbitration, tracking.

Like most things in the internet, you are a vocal minority making ineffectual noises about how important you are. In spite of all the gragra on here, I get rides every single time

That’s all that needs to be said.

We are the owners of the cars. So park them at home and stop forming boss. You are NOTHING without the platform but a fellow with an idle car

pocohantas:


The irony of boss moves...

Them sef get their own for body. Talk now and they will come out guns blazing

Gentlelife50:

The Ogas here will still gatecrash our get together

deedee44:


Stop deceiving yourself, were you using uber in 2016? No, you're using uber now because it's cheap, cheaper than yellow cabs

With all your threats too, I still dont go to places I dont want to go

Yes I am the owner of the car and I cant park at home because I'm not lazy, and mind you.. the platform is NOTHING without us drivers but we can survive without them. There are offline jobs bro, you know nothing

It gets to the news though. I am very sure I have seen on NL. They killed the driver and tried selling off his car.
