cheesy cheesy cheesy
This is like the whole of Lagos MAINLAND na. You no want make Mainland people use our service

On a more serious, you are correct. But like someone said, every Malam with his kettle. Some drivers prefer working on the Mainland, but as for me and my car, we no dey smell that side again. Any trip that exceeds IKOYI - VI - LEKKI - AJAH, na "Kindly cancel and request another ride" I dey tell them.

One guy was going to Ketu yesterday. After giving him "my canceling line", he started shouting that didn't I see his destination before I accepted the ride?? For my mind, you no fit use your raggae spoil my blues...
I was about asking too, don't you guys see it truly?

AngryIgboMan's comments are always something.

I think the best way, if a driver wants to return the item, is to tell the owner to another driver to come take it.

Report that I stole or what? I'm not denying not finding his item in my car, but either he orders for a ride to come pick it or go to uber office.

Uber cant also force me to take the item back without being paid. Either the owner is readt to pay or go pick his item at uber office.

I understand AnfryIgboMan, he said his place is far to uber office.

I am so piss of at taxify right now, I just feel like going to their off to make trouble, I just got blocked this morning for client reporting her missing phone... For God sake this woman in her 40s took a trip of 1600, drunked and didn't get herself, she complained about Bolt drivers being thieves, to satisfy r curiosity I had to end trip d moment I stepped into d deeper life area, taking her home for free till I even entered her gate and dropped her at her doorstep soh I know I got her home safely. I can remember saying I am face wit d trouble of returning her phone now, didn't get to see d phone till I got home ard 9 30pm after picking riders... Yesterday I tried to call d lady in question, she have pattern lock and went as far to put her phone on flight mode, so how am I supposed to reach her, do a trip from ogba back yo her house or go drop d phone at bolt off when I didn't even work yesterday, but took out yesterday as break and time to visit the mech.... Woke up dis morning and thinking through getting a trip to that area so I can go by to drop her phone, but with her putting her gross irresponsibility on me, denying working hours is really crazy, I feel like fight both parties, what if someone saw d phone before me and I wasn't aware of all dis drama? I really wish I have a way to get to both parties.




That's a sad situation. I can recall having such experience twice whereby riders reported me to Bolt and those mobtops didn't even call to ask what happened before slandering me with their yeye mails. Funny enough, i was the one that reported first but because they're so consumer oriented, they charged me for theft. Long story short, one of the rider call and bossed me and i told her to meet me at Maryland b/stop or go to Bolt office at Surulere .
Bro, i think you should put on your spiritual antenna, why will taxify block your account today of all days, may be God is passing a message across that you shouldn't ignore.
I am not a very religious /spiritual person but sometimes its good to give a deep thought over this sort of situation.
Happy New Year in Advance! May the new year usher in every sweet savoring glamour we've been yarning for all our lives. Bless you brother!

AngryIgboMan:
Guys am back again. Hope your xmas banter is going on fine? All thanks to God!

One guy asked an important question of where not to go in Lagos and I will do justice to that question here because nobody has answered it satisfactorily.

As an Uber or Bolt investor, advise your driver not to go to these places. Believe me when I tell you that cost of maintenance will come down sizeably. Even if it means telling him to remit 20k weekly but reject trips to these hellish zones. Money will come down but then he makes 20k for himself and 20k for you! Your car will last years on Uber! You will hardly visit a mechanic workshop if you don't go to the places below.

As a legend in the business, I want to teach newbies and intending investors a few things regarding areas you shouldn't go to in Lagos.

Some of the places I will mention are actually nice estates but the roads to them are quite terrible and horrible. IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAR OR YOUR PARTNERS CAR, NEVER YOU GO THE AREAS I WILL MENTION BELOW.

There was this Eastern guy I met in Ikeja one time when I began work newly and he taught me most of these bad places!

Before I continue, Please be you aware that 70% of Mainland is bad and terrible. 70% of Island is nice. Infact, what you should fear on Island is only flooding and Pools of water. Again, Sanwo Olu is doing a nice job now on Mainland though patching up some nasty places e.g Akilo in Ogba Town. Let me use this opportunity and give;

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO SANWO OLU.... MY ADOPTED STATE GOVERNOR. HE IS REALLY TRYING ON ROADS. MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE BUT THIS GUY IS SILENTLY WORKING. A BIG TUALE TO YOU MR POINTUS PILATE.

So here Goes my List;

Ago Palace
(Good road to it through Orile to Festac onwards Ago but Terrible inner roads. 90% of Ago inner roads are dead. Your car will cry) The good side of these area is that plenty good trips to Lekki, Ikoyi or VI come from here. Ago is bad generally but If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 7,000 naira from anywhere at all.

Ajao estate
(Good road to it from Airport road but Terrible inner roads, Highly Trafficked most times) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 5,000 naira or 20 dollars from even airport. Yes.. Dollars because airport is close and people heading to IBIS usually have dollars.

Ijegun
(Demonic Roads, Animal Human Beings, 80% of people here are poor and drive keke and Okada, Criminals, Bandits and Car snatchers live here. Never go here during the day not to talk of at night. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. Many dangerous native doctors live here too) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 15 Million naira.

Festac
(Good road to it through Orile but Terrible inner roads, Highly Trafficked most times) The good side of these area is that plenty good trips to Lekki, Ikoyi or VI come from here too. If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 7,000 naira from anywhere.

Iyana Ipaja
(Good road to it through Ikeja but highly trafficked most times. A lot of Nasty danfo drivers ply this route too) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 8,000 naira from anywhere.

Ajegunle
(Animal Kingdom! Zone of Animals, Imbecciles, Societal Miscreants, 90% people here are poor, Terrible inner roads, Very bad trips to Other terrible zones, People here don't go to Nice places like Lekki phase 1. From here, you will surely get a trip to Ikotun or Idimu) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 20 Million Naira.


Oko Oba estate
(Agege in general is a no go area for me due to the penchant of people here to be aggressive and animalistic in nature. There youths use drugs too much and you may loose your life here at night). If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 10,000 naira during the day but 6 million at night.

Akute
(Terrible, Hellish roads. This place is not even Lagos again but Ogun. If you love your car, NEVER EVER TAKE A TRIP TO THIS PLACE THROUGH FAGBA OR ANY OTHER PLACE. YOUR CAR WILL NOT SURVIVE. I REPEAT, YOUR CAR WILL DIE. WHAT THEY HAVE AS ROADS ARE EROSIONS. PEOPLE HERE TOO ARE DIRT POOR. God does not exist in Akute. Government forgot these people and they forgot government too.) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 30 Million naira.

Amukoko
(PLEASE RUN. I REPEAT, RUN) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 7 Million naira from anywhere.


Satellite, Ojo, Badagry, Navy Town, Alakija
(These Five places are in proximity to hellfire. Hello Captains, THESE PLACES ARE HELL ON EARTH. There are many Car snatchers and shooters in Navy town and Alakija. Infact, I was nearly shot at Alakija! If you hear any of these five places, RUN! People here are so nasty and terrible too. They barely tip you and a whole lot of them are MARLIANS!) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 10 million naira. Insurance for your car and life! Your wife may become widowed! The 10 million is to take care of your family in case you don't make it back alive.

Ejigbo
(This is one place that even if Jesus will appear there, I WILL NEVER GO HERE TO SEE HIM. Brothers, the roads here are so terrible and dead that Satan regrets why he created that place till date. 100% of Ejigbo roads are dead. Infact, Government does not know these area and the area does not know government. This place is Satan's Personal Palace. All manner of demons live here. From Succubus, Incubus, Tricubus down to Asmodeus and Asmoda live here. Once you are here, just know that you are in Satans Anus and behave well to avoid death. God has forgotten them too. Infact, Ejigbo is not on Gods map of the universe. Satan carefully moulded here on a saturday when God was sleeping. Believe me Brother. Another terrible fact about this Zone is that THEY ARE ALWAYS ANGRY AND READY TO FIGHT. I love to fight too. But The Upper Cut an Okada rider nearly landed on my Chin after scratching my car with his bike oo would have sent me to Orthopedic Enugu. IN THE WHOLE OF LAGOS, NO PLACE IS AS UNPLANNED, DIRTY, HOPELESS, USELESS AND WORTHLESS LIKE EJIGBO. A LOT OF CRIMINALS LIVE HERE TOO. BEWARE SOUL BROTHER. The major source of income here is Okada riding. This is one place you will go and see more than 1 million bikes swarming on you like stray animals in a zoo. O boy... Na die be dis. The day I went here, I continued calling on the holy spirit of the most high God to save me and my Car. Only God almighty will save you here as a newbie driver. Nwanne, Your car will collect.) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 50 Billion dollars or the budget of 40 African countries! Thats the money for a new car and your life because your car will die and stress of driving here may kill you too! You may have to tell the rider to request Police escort too coz you may need it!

Egbeda
(Egbeda is not that bad especially Gowon estate axis. On a normal day, I will never go to Egbeda but if work is slow, I may manage). If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 8,000 naira from anywhere at all.

Agege
(80% of people here are Marlians! There youths are always eyeing you too waiting for you to loose guard. O boy... Your car go disappear! Its not that bad though but once a trip takes you to here, Run away to Ogba through College road) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 10,000 by day and 6 million at night. You may have to tell the rider to request Police escort too coz you may need it!

Idimu
(God forbid. Even the name sounds like one Terrible Oracle that will kill you without any offence. Please run away from here. Nice road to it but terrible inner roads. If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 90,000. You may have to tell the rider to request Police escort too coz you may need it!

Ayobo
Just look at how the name sounds too. This Animal zone is better experienced than talked about. All there roads are bad and your shocks will die. You will end trip and see 700 naira! If you pass Egbe road to this place, you will stop driving on Uber the same day! If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 500,000 naira only.

Isolo
(God forbid. Very terrible inner roads. But they have nice people. You will also get Lekki and Ikoyi trips here. Plenty Igbos here who are willing to spend live here. But don't go here if you are afraid of bad and terrible roads. If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 30,000 naira.

Kirikiri
Dont even allow the rider to complete the name. Once you here Ki, don't even wait for rikiri. Just tell the rider to get out and cancel the trip. You know why? Any rider that wants to take you here is DEMONIC AND EVIL. Believe me when I tell you that people here park there cars in nice places and then order Uber or Bolt drivers who will come and kill there car here. If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 3 Million naira. Gaskiya!

Ikotun and Igando
I don't even want to talk much about this hellish place. Once a rider requests a trip, cut him or her short with OFFLINE. Price is 600,000 naira from anywhere.

Oworoshonki
This is one funny place I will like to talk about in detail later. AVOID THESE PLACE LIKE A DEVILS KINGDOM! SO MANY TERRIBLE ROADS AND PLENTY ONE WAYS. The funny thing about here is the ONE WAYS. Because the people here are poor and they barely have cars. This place barely has traffic but the local government Iddiots there woke up one day and decided to make everywhere one way! You know why? I have it on good authority that Police officers and LG Chairman here make good money here everyday through one ways. If they catch you here, 20,000 Naira straight. No begging. You know another funny thing? They must catch you if you are not familiar with the terrain. You know why? GOOGLE MAPS WILL FAIL YOU HERE ON ONE WAYS BECAUSE IT WAS SUDDEN AND UNPLANNED! Google maps will never take you through one way on VI But you see Oworo? Forget it. All the one ways here are NOT GOTTEN BY GOOGLE MAPS AND IT WILL FAIL YOU TERRIBLY. Infact, Police Officers here will hide and be watching you... Praying that you take any of the plenty one ways here. It will take only the residents here to save you from taking one way here. Pilots, NEVER EVER TAKE A TRIP TO OWOROSHONKI. BLACKLIST HERE WITH PASSION. TERRIBLE ROADS AND PLENTY ONE WAYS) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 100 MILLION naira.


AbuleEgba
Dead Zone. No arguements. Offline straight. Price is 15,000 from anywhere.


Ikorodu
I can't even shout. Once a rider requests here, simply tell him 1 BILLION to scare him or her away. If they have the mind, let them pay the 1 billion. This place is so dead that you will blow empty to come back. I pity you and your car if a rider takes you to Igbogbo or Ishawo. God forbid.

Oyingbo
These Zone has a reputation for being driver killers. Plenty of animal human beings play here at night. If you receive a request to go here at night, please run. High chances of being robbed. They will request you here at night and kill you! Your car is gone. Your life is gone. I don't even have offline price for here. If you request me to this place, I will arrive your pickup location, beat you up and then leave. Case closed.

Lagos Island
This is one Funny place am yet to Understand what really goes on here. The people living here are not serious. THEY ARE SO HAPPY AND ALWAYS PARTYING FROM YOUNG TO OLD. EVERYDAY, THEY ARE ALWAYS SETTING CANOPY AND WHITE CHAIRS AT ONE PARTICULAR LARGE AREA LIKE THAT. I can bet my balls that 80% of people here are JOBLESS. THEY ARE ALWAYS PARTYING, DRINKING AND EATING NON STOP. If you doubt me, TAKE A TRIP TO LAGOS ISLAND TODAY. YOU MUST SEE PEOPLE SETTING UP CANOPIES AND CHAIRS AT THAT SPOT! You know what I find weird about them again? They will party from 10 am to 2 pm. By 2 pm, they will remove all the canopies. Coming back by 4 pm, they are setting same white chairs and canopy again! Weird right? Like... Why scatter what you will assemble again soon? This circle continues daily till the year runs out. On a dark side, there roads are very small and tiny. You can barely drive well here. WHATEVER YOU DO, NEVER GO TO LAGOS ISLAND AT NIGHT. THEY WILL ROB YOU. I HAVE NO OFFLINE PRICE FOR HERE COZ I FEAR THEM A LOT.


Apongbon
Please don't go here at night. YOU MAY DIE!

Mushin
I RAISE THE BLOOD OF JESUS ON MY LIFE AND CAR AGAINST ANYBODY THAT WILL REQUEST ME HERE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. You will collect beating. A lot of criminals, touts, animal human beings, Boko Haram, ISWAP and Bandits dwell here. If you love yourself, don't go here during the day. If you must go, let it be with Police or Army escort coupled with offline price of 350,000.

Ijesha and Lawanson axis of Surulere
Surulere is generally a good area with good roads. But one thing I hate about this area is that just like Lekki, they will turn your car to Okada. Ask me how. Someone will request a trip from Akerele to Bode Thomas to eat cake. If you end it, another trip will come. Where to? Stadium surulere. If you end it, another one will enter. Where to? Animashaun to buy fruits! Ending that one, another one will enter. Where to? OFADA BOY to eat Ofada rice! All these trips are 500 naira each! Very annoying but I endure because people here are civilised and mature. Believe me WHEN I TELL YOU THAT GOD IS ALIVE IN SURULERE. ANGELS ARE ON GUARD HERE TOO. Very good and educated folks. Surulere is always on surge too because they are always moving around eating cakes, meat pie and ice cream. They don't want trouble and trouble doesn't want them. Just like Lekki people, they fuccck a lot too. But always beware of Local government boys here. They are not smiling. Again, if you get a trip to Ijesha or Lawanson axis, cancel immediately. Unless you can endure terrible roads. Ijesha, Aguda and Lawanson boys are always mad and do drugs a lot.


N.B
These are my personal opinions. Understand it however you want. Am sorry. But its the truth. Some will take this as a JOKE. But believe me when I tell you that 90% of what I said here are accurate. You may be joking with your life if you see this as a Joke.
grin
After charging billions and thousands you still request for escorts to some of these places?
Create a thread about this, it will make sense.
Lol

In the Updated Bolt App, we can see it. But we just have to accept it anyway else it affects our ACTIVITY SCORE/RATING which shouldn't be too low. When we accept then you cancel, it's fine for us.

The day I went here, I continued calling on the holy spirit of the most high God to save me and my Car. Only God almighty will save you here as a newbie driver. Nwanne, Your car will collect.) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 50 Billion dollars or the budget of 40 African countries! Thats the money for a new car and your life because your car will die and stress of driving here may kill you too! You may have to tell the rider to request Police escort too coz you may need it!

Egbeda
(Egbeda is not that bad especially Gowon estate axis. On a normal day, I will never go to Egbeda but if work is slow, I may manage). If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 8,000 naira from anywhere at all.

Agege
(80% of people here are Marlians! There youths are always eyeing you too waiting for you to loose guard. O boy... Your car go disappear! Its not that bad though but once a trip takes you to here, Run away to Ogba through College road) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 10,000 by day and 6 million at night. You may have to tell the rider to request Police escort too coz you may need it!

Idimu
(God forbid. Even the name sounds like one Terrible Oracle that will kill you without any offence. Please run away from here. Nice road to it but terrible inner roads. If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 90,000. You may have to tell the rider to request Police escort too coz you may need it!

Ayobo
Just look at how the name sounds too. This Animal zone is better experienced than talked about. All there roads are bad and your shocks will die. You will end trip and see 700 naira!

Kirikiri
Dont even allow the rider to complete the name. Once you here Ki, don't even wait for rikiri. Just tell the rider to get out and cancel the trip. You know why? Any rider that wants to take you here is DEMONIC AND EVIL. Believe me when I tell you that people here park there cars in nice places and then order Uber or Bolt drivers who will come and kill there car here. If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 3 Million naira. Gaskiya!

Ikotun and Igando
I don't even want to talk much about this hellish place. Once a rider requests a trip, cut him or her short with OFFLINE. Price is 600,000 naira from anywhere.

Oworoshonki
This is one funny place I will like to talk about in detail later. AVOID THESE PLACE LIKE A DEVILS KINGDOM! SO MANY TERRIBLE ROADS AND PLENTY ONE WAYS. The funny thing about here is the ONE WAYS. Because the people here are poor and they barely have cars. This place barely has traffic but the local government Iddiots there woke up one day and decided to make everywhere one way! You know why? I have it on good authority that Police officers and LG Chairman here make good money here everyday through one ways. If they catch you here, 20,000 Naira straight. No begging. You know another funny thing? They must catch you if you are not familiar with the terrain. You know why? GOOGLE MAPS WILL FAIL YOU HERE ON ONE WAYS BECAUSE IT WAS SUDDEN AND UNPLANNED! Google maps will never take you through one way on VI But you see Oworo? Forget it. All the one ways here are NOT GOTTEN BY GOOGLE MAPS AND IT WILL FAIL YOU TERRIBLY. Infact, Police Officers here will hide and be watching you... Praying that you take any of the plenty one ways here. It will take only the residents here to save you from taking one way here. Pilots, NEVER EVER TAKE A TRIP TO OWOROSHONKI. BLACKLIST HERE WITH PASSION. TERRIBLE ROADS AND PLENTY ONE WAYS) If you must go here, insist on offline. Price is 100 MILLION naira.


AbuleEgba
Dead Zone. No arguements. Offline straight. Price is 15,000 from anywhere.


Ikorodu
I can't even shout. Once a rider requests here, simply tell him 1 BILLION to scare him or her away. If they have the mind, let them pay the 1 billion. This place is so dead that you will blow empty to come back. I pity you and your car if a rider takes you to Igbogbo or Ishawo. God forbid.

Oyingbo
These Zone has a reputation for being driver killers. Plenty of animal human beings play here at night. If you receive a request to go here at night, please run. High chances of being robbed. They will request you here at night and kill you! Your car is gone. Your life is gone. I don't even have offline price for here. If you request me to this place, I will arrive your pickup location, beat you up and then leave. Case closed.

Lagos Island
This is one Funny place am yet to Understand what really goes on here. The people living here are not serious. THEY ARE SO HAPPY AND ALWAYS PARTYING FROM YOUNG TO OLD. EVERYDAY, THEY ARE ALWAYS SETTING CANOPY AND WHITE CHAIRS AT ONE PARTICULAR LARGE AREA LIKE THAT. I can bet my balls that 80% of people here are JOBLESS. THEY ARE ALWAYS PARTYING, DRINKING AND EATING NON STOP. If you doubt me, TAKE A TRIP TO LAGOS ISLAND TODAY. YOU MUST SEE PEOPLE SETTING UP CANOPIES AND CHAIRS AT THAT SPOT! You know what I find weird about them again? They will party from 10 am to 2 pm. By 2 pm, they will remove all the canopies. Coming back by 4 pm, they are setting same white chairs and canopy again! Weird right? Like... Why scatter what you will assemble again soon? This circle continues daily till the year runs out. On a dark side, there roads are very small and tiny. You can barely drive well here. WHATEVER YOU DO, NEVER GO TO LAGOS ISLAND AT NIGHT. THEY WILL ROB YOU. I HAVE NO OFFLINE PRICE FOR HERE COZ I FEAR THEM A LOT.


Apongbon
Please don't go here at night. YOU MAY DIE!

Mushin
I RAISE THE BLOOD OF JESUS ON MY LIFE AND CAR AGAINST ANYBODY THAT WILL REQUEST ME HERE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. You will collect beating. A lot of criminals, touts, animal human beings, Boko Haram, ISWAP and Bandits dwell here. If you love yourself, don't go here during the day. If you must go, let it be with Police or Army escort coupled with offline price of 350,000.

Ijesha and Lawanson axis of Surulere
Surulere is generally a good area with good roads. But one thing I hate about this area is that just like Lekki, they will turn your car to Okada. Ask me how. Someone will request a trip from Akerele to Bode Thomas to eat cake. If you end it, another trip will come. Where to? Stadium surulere. If you end it, another one will enter. Where to? Animashaun to buy fruits! Ending that one, another one will enter. Where to? OFADA BOY to eat Ofada rice! All these trips are 500 naira each! Very annoying but I endure because people here are civilised and mature. Believe me WHEN I TELL YOU THAT GOD IS ALIVE IN SURULERE. ANGELS ARE ON GUARD HERE TOO. Very good and educated folks. Surulere is always on surge too because they are always moving around eating cakes, meat pie and ice cream. They don't want trouble and trouble doesn't want them. Just like Lekki people, they fuccck a lot too. But always beware of Local government boys here. They are not smiling. Again, if you get a trip to Ijesha or Lawanson axis, cancel immediately. Unless you can endure terrible roads. Ijesha, Aguda and Lawanson boys are always mad and do drugs a lot.


N.B
These are my personal opinions. Understand it however you want. Am sorry. But its the truth. Some will take this as a JOKE. But believe me when I tell you that 90% of what I said here are accurate. You may be joking with your life if you see this as a Joke.

Okay, so you are willing to take it to UBER without kobo then.

To be on the safe side and avoid accusations from riders. It is better to take it to uber's office . Uber should have a policy on that. That any items a rider leaves behind ,should be return to uber office.. And after 60 days items not claim by the owners will be destroy or given to the person that found them That was the policy of the place I used to work years ago.....

I remember one trip to Ajegunle from Surulere. It was difficult getting there. The roads were bad, but I managed to navigate it and dropped off rider. Fare was like #2,000.

Then I got Lekki trip - about #3,500.

I also remember another Ajegunle trip. Got to destination around 8:30pm; then got stuck inside trailer traffic. I finally got to Oshodi by 11:30pm. I just went home straight.

I love diverse experiences. They build my tolerance and resilience. That's why I never rejected those kind of trips even though I knew what I was getting into.



Bros only you naaa bad guys!

I must confess am stunned. Was the car your personal car or you were on rental? Because one will be wondering how you make up for the lost time spent on traffic, effect of bad roads on your car suspension, how they will eat into you revenue and eventually making your weekly remittance

I remember queueing behind a trailer carrying container on one of those trips. I was heading towards Iyana Iba from FESTAC. Other cars were behind me.

It took us about 15 minutes before we realized the trailer had parked and we were supposed to to find our level.

That's a sad situation. I can recall having such experience twice whereby riders reported me to Bolt and those mobtops didn't even call to ask what happened before slandering me with their yeye mails. Funny enough, i was the one that reported first but because they're so consumer oriented, they charged me for theft. Long story short, one of the rider call and bossed me and i told her to meet me at Maryland b/stop or go to Bolt office at Surulere .
Bro, i think you should put on your spiritual antenna, why will taxify block your account today of all days, may be God is passing a message across that you shouldn't ignore.
I am not a very religious /spiritual person but sometimes its good to give a deep thought over this sort of situation.
Happy New Year in Advance! May the new year usher in every sweet savoring glamour we've been yarning for all our lives. Bleed you brother!

They've unblocked me... Work is kind of slow and d sun is not friendly, seems like I have to call it a year from here. Happy new year and more blessings boss

Uber has finally responded why they flagged my account.
They said I was nabbed using thee uber rider and driver app at the same time. cool

Well, am guilty as charged.
I dey use rider app check surge when am approaching an area on-trip and want to know if I should allow incoming requests or not.

So, guys, no more 3% for me.

Hope someone learns a lesson from this. A

Is a baseless accusations. Can't I use my rider app to request for my family while working. They told me same thing when they blocked my account and I told them they only seat in their office, using computer to assume drivers activities without cogent evidence. They reactivate the account and still on 3%.

I was on rental and still managed to meet up; driving 80+ hours every week.

Funny thing is all the cars I used were always in good shape. Of course there will be scratches on the bumpers, but the cars were always fine.

Cars suffer in bad roads when you speed into the roads; but if you crawl into bad roads, the car will be fine.

There's a place on the uber app where you can report when a rider leaves an item behind if you are unable to reach the rider. Uber will tell what to do thereof. In that case, when a rider reports, you won't get blocked or have any issues.I don't know how Bolt works though. To be on a safe side, I ALWAYS check my car whenever a rider goes down. Have had to call them back to pick phones, chargers and other stuffs they forget. Sometimes, they forget stuffs they keep in the booth, I'm always alive to it and make sure they pick up whatever they must have kept in the booth. No matter how long a trip gets or how friendly we become, I do not forget. It saves one a whole lot.

Have you tried just buying bigger tyres?. I think it comes with 205/60/16, have you tried changing your 4 tyres to 215/65/16. I did that and so far so good it's 100% good and 0% bad

AngryIgboMan's comments are always something.

I think the best way, if a driver wants to return the item, is to tell the owner to another driver to come take it.
Or I send you my exact location and you request me. I still have someone's atm card in my car. When I told the lady my present location she just respected herself and did the Maths. She said she would rather use 1k to get another in the bank the next day, smart girl

In the Updated Bolt App, we can see it. But we just have to accept it anyway else it affects our ACTIVITY SCORE/RATING which shouldn't be too low. When we accept then you cancel, it's fine for us.
