most of you will be surprised that this guy is NOTHING. the reason he's here is because he gets all the attention he's been deprived offline. by his post,you'll know he's not a likeable person. who wants to be associated with an inconsistent being.

Don't you think that his reason for being here is because he's planning to start the Uber business.

He's possibly looking for a car on rental.

I had a terrible experience yesterday guys.
I picked some expatriates or whatever 3 white guys from vi we’re heading to isolo way (AFRI PRINT). Naso we reached the under bridge after airport opposite Ladipo oops traffic ahead of us is mad around 11 sha.
Naso a guy (scariest human being have ever met) the guy face full of wound marks. Well he walked towards us and started hitting my passenger glass.

Esss Oyinbo give me money... gbasss he hit again and again ess give me money and ur phone.

Oyinbo replied and said “have got no money man. (Well I tinted the back dark and the front light so he couldn’t see the back.

This guy flash us his gun he open his shirt flash the gun.
Omo I became scared and I remember the thread I read about a guy whom they shot at apogbon.

Those ones at the back have started shaking mehn this is crazy. Immediately I notice the other side of me is free little although I later scratched a man doing James Bond because he doesn’t wanna give me chance I just run for my dear life.

I became scared and be thanking my Creators. After their trip, naso I just kuku go home thank god for light I enjoy my Korean outstanding movies. Back on road today may almighty God continue to protect us all. I hate mainland.

So bro.

People experience such under that bridge around Toyota everyday. I can't remember the last time I passed through that route.

I prefer going through ajao estate 7&8.

This is stupid.

But then, it isn't sustainable, just a business strategy to take out competitors. Dangote does it a lot, crash prices and strangle his competitors in months. Then he will take over that market. I don't know which body should fight this, but they shouldn't be allowed at all.

After the whole bustle and hustle of driving up and down routes, I think we should consider taking a few hours rest and have quality chit chat and good laugh as we share trivails and happy moments together. This give rise to the proposed Hangout by December. Taking cognizance that some persons will/might travel gpr the Yuletide I think Sunday 15th December will be a good time for such.

The venue hasn't been decoded though but we are keen to choose a venue on the island. We will be made to individually contribute 2000 each (The breakdown of this money "Two bottles of whatever alcohol you'd take *Excluding wines and spirits* and a plate of pepper soup or Asun or[b] friend meat)

This is an open suggestion, if we have any contributions... Then it will be highly looked into.

Good advice.
And also if he gets super craze for head like some people, he can race on with the officer in the car and threaten to drive him away. It could be dangerous though if the officer drags the steering with him

nitigriti:


Okay, my advice.
First, that small BRT Lane has been a LASTMA trap for ages, even during Governor Ambode's time. Try to avoid it and any BRT corridor next time.

Secondly, just in case you find yourself entrapped by LASTMA or CBD officials, put on your craze cap. Lock yourself inside your car. Refuse to move. Refuse to roll down your glasses. Don't look at anyone. Don't talk to anyone. Don't explain anything to anyone. Just keep staring at your steering wheel. Last last, when they see your craze is more than their own, they will signal you to move on; which was their duty anyway.

Finally, if by your carelessness, you find LASTMA officials in your car and they tell you to drive to their office, drive away from the scene first (because you need to do private business with them). They will give you directions to their office; as you go, look for a not-so-busy place to park and discuss with them like gentlemen. See a format I used once: "Gentlemen, you don't need to take me to your office. We will just end up wasting time there. I have #5,000 I can give you guys to buy lunch and drinks. I am your brother, just take the #5,000 and let me go."

Trust me, they will collect and free you.

Who's going to Marina from Orile? I'm talking Ayobo to sangotedo just to recarge phone, when I'm done, we order again. I have time, they have fuel.

So, they will use their money to pay the drivers and service the cars because I don't see how they will pay drivers or service cars from the #200 charge.

Whenever i get into conversation with riders and they tell me Ambode's government was people's friendly, i tried to argue with them but what happened to me yesterday made me agree with them 100%.
During Ambode's regime, most of these road charlatans were taken off the road except you beat the traffic light, take a clear cut BRT lane on the mainland or parked illegally, that is when you'll be arrested.
There's a route from outer Marina that leads to TBS, i think the road is divided into 3 or so (left side with a BRT divider takes you to TBS while the middle lane with a ramp to ikoyi and Victoria island on the right.
I used to ply the TBS route while i was working at the building construction because it was my fastest and convenient route to Obalende from Maryland (BRT terminal) and i do see cars, buses heading to TBS trail those BRT back then .
So yesterday, after dropping off a rider at Broadstreet from Yaba , I headed for my usual spot, ikoyi, and a request came in from TBS when i got to Igbosere to connect Moloney .
Called the rider, who told me she's heading to Dolphin estate, ikoyi. Perfect i said!
Told her to walk through the TBS gate that I'll be waiting for her right at the exit gate, she said no, that she doesn't know her way around, told her to ask anyone, that she would be directed, she said i should come to the BRT terminal.
If i had the premonition that the short 600 naira trip would cost me 20k and my entire day, may be i would have rejected it, after all i have made #4500 card trips as at 8am.
Put on my map to navigate my way to TBS (BRT terminal) only for me to find myself on the small BRT divider i used to travel on.
Got there and those LASTMA officials flagged me down and asked why i was on that lane and i told them, its the only way to TBS.
They said ever since Sanwo-Olu came in, he enacted a bye-law that cars should stop plying the route, that it was meant for BRT alone and i was like, i am not new to this area even though i haven't been here in 6 months but that doesn't mean cars don't take this route to TBS and moreover ,the other lane were free and its not like i was in a hurry, if you guys wanted to arrest me for beating traffic.
While i was talking, 2 Hilux vehicles came out from the white building under that bridge and took that same route i was nabbed for and they didn't say anything and i asked why ?
They couldn't mutter a word before i could say Jack, one grabbed my key and asked me to come in or else, he would drive down to Olowu, Sura without me.
I did all i could to settle the issue out of their office but those guys were not having any of my pleas.
Immediately we got to their office, one of the LASTMA officer said so many unprintable words i didn't utter, so many lies that i couldn't defend.
I made some calls and one LASTMA official my brother knew came through. After all said and done, he said they booked me already because i tried to prove stubborn and i told him how i pleaded and had to accept my undoing but none of them listened.
Long story short, they made me path with 20k as minimum fine, they even asked me to go do photocopies of the payment slip. Immediately, i got my car, i just drove back home angered at what transpired between that morning and how i was sure cars ply that route but what can i do?
This is a country where the powerful find every means to extort the commoners .
I haven't been able to bring myself to work since 11am yesterday.

Sorry boss, at no time should you follow a lasma officer to his office, unless on Friday evening after 6 or weekend. Couple of time I've said how I gave them 3k/4k without deliberating if I'm wrong/right, its easy to get over that and quickly drive to make up than when you r being held against your will, I can tell how it demoralise one. You need to get back to work boss, mistake made once is no mistake, affliction on similar matter should not raise again, then you can hold yourself responsible.

Concerning the Marina story, let me share my experience

I was got a request from Festac one morning. She was going to VI. When she entered,

She: Please pass Alakija. I want to carry a Naval officer there
Me:Okay ma. Is he waiting already?
She: Just carry any Naval officer going to Bonny camp. Just one, and let him sit at the front

Na so I carry one Navy guy. We cruised to Marina and there was traffic. He asked me to use the BRT. LASTMA were with their spikes at the end. When they saw us, they removed the spikes.... Na so I pass grin

So when we dropped off the guy, she told me that's how she goes to work. Even of she driving, she must pick a Naval guy.

Lesson: Avoid BRT lanes at Marina. And if you must pass it, carry a military personnel

Heard the advert today on radio. Opay is bad News for all. They are coming to take a huge chunk of the market shares, brand new cars, cheaper fares. Guys, brace yourself up for a tougher 2020. I know eventually Opay Cars will fall by the way side as greed and business do not mix.

For me, It's becoming clearer that this ehailing thing is never a place to invest ones whole life and money on. You gotta learn how to diversify in order not to be met with surprises. Opay is here to further mess things up.

I suspect they're using the oride model.all cars will be on hire purchase till it's paid off. I project a massive exodus of Uber and bolt partners porting to this option. Uber may eventually leave Nigeria as they're running at a loss already. My personal view though.
