Was shocked at their own understanding of the word and never seen anybody else with that view.
Looks like many dudes here are psychologically apprehensive with that mentality of "they are looking down on me as a taxi driver but they don't know it's my car and I'm a graduate bla bla"

tojahh:


On my way back from lekki last night. Set destination to yaba after I don chop fish for aboki place by GTBank phase 1. Request came.
After 5mins

Caller: Oga where are you?!
Me: Good Evening.
Caller: Oga where are you?!!
Me: Are we fighting?
Caller: What do you mean? I said where are you Oga??
Me: Phase 1
Caller: come fast we are going to surulere
Me: okay

Got there. Saw her and her friends. She called.

Oga drive forward, since we have been waiting. Or I should call you 100 times before you come.
I came out of the car, left the hazard on and was strolling up and down stretching my legs.

She called again. I picked. OGA!! ARE YOU NOT THW TAXIFY DRIVER?! WHY ARE YOU LAZING ABOUT? If you're not going tell me.

I kept quiet. Till she finished and they walked up to where I was standing.

Oga are you not Mr. Chassis? I said yes I'm. Then why all these rubbish. You will pick my call and not say nothing bla bla bla. I just told her... Babe, no matter what you're passing thru, attitude is a virtue.

Goodnight.


I no cancel. She no cancel. I drove till Maryland nothing. Na so I help her cancel am.

Dokyoloye, the general term 'Oga' can be an hallmark of respect among contemporary Nigerians but its different with these Olosho girls especially with their tone .
You need to walk a mile in our shoes to understand what we go through .
One just ruined my day as i am typing this. When i got her request at Lekki , i put a call through to ask for destination and she flared up, so i tried to explain that I've been dodging VIO officers for sometime due to my broken tail light, that i have been extorted on this job enough, so i'd like to keep away from their troubles (12pm -3pm) even though i knew i will be at fault, if they apprehend me but ain't gat the money to buy a new brake light, she hissed throughout the call and later VGC.
Midway through our journey, i perceived some foul smell, i had to open the window for fresh air but the odour didn't go away, Damn!
When we got to ikate, i told her i need to pull over to check what's smelling, only for me to discover that this girlie don shit for body inside my chacha leather seats Ford Mondeo
It was nauseating and before i could utter a word, she vomited. I had to rush to get her water to clean up.
My car is messed up already and the only word she mutter was i will give you 500 naira to clean your car at a car wash.
I felt like slapping this skele and after i managed to take her to her destination, rudely, she said she does not have any money on her, that the person she came to see is not picking her calls .
She didn't even give me the pleasure of an apology. This was someone who lashed out at me for not putting on my AC before i drove to her street, hissed at me because my car charger didn't recognize her iPhone cord.
What would you do in that situation?

Freshprince91:



Prince3, please enough of these jabs abeg.
I'm the one who shared the bad experience of a rider stealing my money and ndubuis was trying to justify why he would never leave a passenger in his car, he's entitled to his opinion, we all are.
The same way i let it slide when Tyche said i was careless as if i envisaged such incident.
We are all to share our experiences, learn from mistakes, crack jokes and have a good laugh about ourselves not some condescending talks some fellas are spewing.
Let peace reign!
We're all brothers on this thread irrespective of how long we've been on the street trying to make some bread.

pope191:


now I can understand

radautoworks:


This I did not know. I thought it was the casual equivalent of "sir" and use it all the time in that manner

peacefulhome:

Same here. Was even surprised when they kept saying otherwise. We learn every day. I will just have to adjust and start using sir.

You people can never be satisfied.. Uber you people complain slavery, commission too low, request too low and the list goes on and on. U now have a new company to shake things up ..because of Ocar uber and co are now behaving themselves, because of Ocar drivers are making money.. Because of Ocar now ,the market is regulated itself, at least things seems to be getting better now.. A lot of you drivers what you make a day is what some make in a month.. Be patient and Ocar will sort itself out ....Be patient

Bad or no catalyst makes car consume fuel is a myth, its purpose is something else entirely

pope191:


I've try not to delve into d Oga matter, cos I don't have a clear tot regarding it... But from my own angle, if I'm with a lady dat is nagging or stressing me, I use madam to address her henceforth & deh don't find it funny "so I'm now madam?" ... Just like most girl's or lady's don't like to b address as woman. Where I live, everyone tries to b formal, even couple dat happened to b deeper life uses sir/ma to address each other (so unromantic *frown face*), i dont like it, but I've to get in tune wit dem. On d handle hand I don't care Oga, sir, guy, chairman, boss is just a matter of d rider in question, mine is to secure d bag... We should note sometin here, when we speak to a rider over d phone is a different ball game to when we meet one on one, then we know d proper manner if approach one deserve. But one tin I've noticed, unmarried folks (eps ladies), don't like to b referred to as sir/ma/Oga, how it makes dem feel? I don't know but deh just don't find it comfortable enough


I have a client in his 50s, he practically ask me (not once or twice) not to use sir on him, he doesn't like it, but I don't know how to go about chatting with him without adding the sir at interval... When he gave me a gift worth 20k, I didn't even remember when I add d sir to d thanks. Crazy part is we now officially address each other as sir, cos he mocks me with Oga sir.

10% after 30 vs 3% after 20

pope, u don dey write epistle like dru23. I still hate to be asked "Oga where are you?"

Felicity001:

It’s a lie guy u frame this up abeg!!! Tell us this isn’t true. Lol. You mean the idiot poo in her body C’mon!!! And you still drive her to her destination C’mon menh!!! Why all these lies na bro���

peeps4u:


Comprehension.

The poster wasn't complaining about money or charges but their app. Should we lie about their app because Ocar has forced uber and bolt to self regulate?

dru23:


Half bread is better than no bread. Just be patient and hopefully Ocar will sort themselves out.. At least they are shaking things up ...

Freshprince91:



Yes, i did because after i got her water to clean up her vomit, i thought about dropping her off and zoom off, but then again, if those people around saw this and they started shouting ritualist and my car gets mobbed in traffic and i get lynched on before i could defend myself, people like you would ask why do i not drive her down to her destination, or have you forgotten how someone here narrated a story of how he picked up a guy, not knowing he was insane, yet he still managed to drive him home to his mother after so many waiting time ?
Why would i frame up a lie? To get a cheap publicity? Not like they share part of their earnings with the person with the most concocted lies. Common mehn! This forum has been a great deal of help to me and i am indebted to the people ( Tojahh, Chillex, Pope 191, Gentle life, Kodred, Izzou, aunty radu, Gazzuz ,eherbal ,Yinka, Mr Jaydee, Ndubuis ,Cooladex, fasa 191 and every other person i forgot to mention) who've shared their experiences and took me in like their little brother even though we haven't seen yet .
People like you are very judgemental but what do i know, you're still looking for a car to drive.

peeps4u:


But your reaction was way off from what the OP posted. If people aren't complaining about their app, how would they know and fix up.

You can't gag people from complaining about opay app because Ocar is giving uber and bolt strong competition.

1daboi:
just call us by our names. Thanks

dru23:
[/b]

Am sure Ocar is aware of the situation.. After spending millions of $ , am sure they will figure it out.. I said this years ago... I said one of the biggest edge that uber has apart from money , is the technology know how over the rest of the competition .. It is one thing to build an ehailing app ,anybody can build one for cheap.. But is another thing to have the expertise to run it efficiently.. Uber has that over the competition.. Am even surprised they didn't trade mark the application, I wonder how possible that could be self. Just wondering o

Fellow guys in the hustle I hail o.
e get watin dey pain me since last month o and watin make an dey pain me more be say na my fellow guy run me local and very young guy like me I fit even senior am self I’m very sure of that.

It all happened 26th of last month I got a request on bolt by a guy name; Jay just in front of GIG logistics since I was just at the spot I quickly arrived put a call through the dude sounded nice and asked me to wait for him right there that he just crossed over to get some things for his wife who just delivered of a baby. I waited for almost 15min and he later called that I should drive down to front of his estate gate, I started trip, drive down on getting to the gate dude said I should enter since he was on a hurry he was trekking down home so I should drive to pick him up. He already told the securities to grant me access. Security guys, nice guy gave me directions, off I zoomed picking dude just almost to his street.

We got to the place he live somewhere in Ajah dude asked me to reverse that he’s still going out. Few minutes later dude came out asking of 2k.

Jay: bro u get like 2k with you I won give my wife to buy something I’ll transfer to you, hope you accept transfer.
Me: yes I do accept transfer but I don’t have any cash on me. Na lie o booboo get like 10k+ inside car
Jay: abeg I go transfer to you as we end trip or I give you cash because na atm I dey go use self.

I just think of how he said his wife just delivered of a baby I con pity d young man then gave him 1k, I said I’ve just 2k on me I need it to buy some gas.

To cut long story short, trip ended with N600 bonus N200.
Dude asked if my account details, immediately another request came in. I quickly called my acct No, dude called out my 2nd name, saying “done” call me when you receive alert, I sent 1500 instead of 1400”. I said thanks, Off he went.

All through out that day I didn’t receive any alert from this dude but I received about 7k from two other Persian after his.

Next morning I called dude he said he has gotten alert. I said guy I didn’t get any money from you. Next day I called dude he said he’ll send me the money via someone’s account, few days later same promise and it goes on and on even up till this moment.

I reported him to taxify after 1week, ka ka they didn’t do anything about it. The thing just dey pain me like this enh...that 1k I have to him is what is even paining me the most.

The screen shot of the trip is attached within

So guys what do you think I do because I’ve not forgiven this guy and I’m still hurt by that act of swindling he did to me.

peeps4u:

OK bro, get your point perfectly.

BTW, how is biz?
Seems you've stopped bringing in cars (dru23) as before bro
