Bro, my own personal decision is that NO HP for Nigerian used cars. The car was probably bought toks and even used further in Nigeria before you now take it up for HP. Before you pay up for it after 2 years, how long more would u enjoy the ride? My school of thought might be wrong though. Felicity001: |

Hmmmmm! this forum is getting hot this days... 2seconds everything Don burst... Shey riders can not play with you again...But I realised that our disposition at every point in time is determined by what is chasing(responsihility) each and everyone.... some are chase by cow, lion, others by masquerade.... Imagine a reaction from some chased by lion....Irrespective, in all, do what works for you, it pays some and against some. Really learning here.... No special treatment, you misbehave, I throw you out of my car... thank you my ogas.. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Anyone should use his discretion to accept stopover or not. I can accept it on some days and can also reject it on another day. Alot of factors come to play. You can't continue to accept all stopovers becuase people say it is bad to reject it. We have individual's daily targets. What I dont subscribe to is to be rude to riders becuase you want to reject trips. A simple "I'm sorry sir/ma, I may not be able to continue with this trip if you're going to delay me beyond xmins or if we're going to be stoping over frequently. It affects my daily targets" You can even order a violent rider out of your car without raisng your voice. Let no one blackmail you into accepting all stopovers, especially from riders with self entitlements Even bike men have limits to how long they can wait for you.. No bike men will carry u to market and wait for you to buy from one shop to another unless you pay him specially for that. This is hustle and not a charity service. SHOOPSYN: 11 Likes |

Felicity001:Most Nigerian used cars have been abused and such cars will not guarantee a smooth sail in the business so using them for HP is a big NO and a tiny yes. If you get a sound mechanic to examine it and you're rest assured car is still in good condition then go for it but don't go beyond 2m. Anything above 2m HP for a Nigerian used car is slavery.. cheating.. riding.. opressing.. you can add your own ![]() 2 Likes |

peeps4u: Thats the conclusion of the matter. But saying a rider shouldn't think of asking for stopovers is not realistic. Let me tell you two experiences I've had with stopovers: a good and a bad one THE BAD Picked this lady from Lekki. She was heading to VI(short trip). She told me she will stop at the Palms to pick up something. I asked how long.Aunty said 20 minutes This was around 8:30am. I did night that day, so that was like my last trip before I go house. Na so I reach there. She took the token and went. I fall chair sleep. Woke up over 45 minutes later, she never come out. Called her and she said she's coming out. She came out after 15 minutes (1 hour in total). Dropped her off. She paid and went. No extra money ![]() ******************************** THE GOOD Picked a woman going to the airport from Lekki. As we climb 3MB, she said I should drop her at Magodo that she wants to say hi to a Friend. When we got to Magodo, she suggested if I'll wait for her. That she will spend 30 minutes. Haaa ![]() I agreed. She said I shouldn't end it, and went in Before 10 minutes, Madam came out with her friend, hugged and asked me to proceed. I reach airport, end trip. She paid and added extra 3k for my waiting ******************************* My point is: 1)Use your discretion. 2)For every bad rider, there is a good one. People who come here to tell you about how riders wasted their time on stopovers may not share their stories of when they enjoyed benefits from stopovers. Bad stories get more attention 3) Be polite about rejections. Everyone knows it's your car. Whether the rider begs or command you, the name on the particulars won't change. Let there be a difference between an uber driver and a Volkswagen LT driver. We can still survive and make profit without being uncouth 23 Likes 1 Share |

You've said it all. There are bad riders/drivers & good ones. I'm most likely to accept stopover, I'm that nice ![]() On another note, Fellas, for God's sake, let's not start throwing forgotten items away. Please. Everyone has one bad experience or the other, dont develop your opinion and decision on bad ones. Please, always return items to uber office or ask owner to order for trip to get it back if u can't take it back. May our lives not be thrown into ocean izzou: 7 Likes |

When you take care of the little things, the bigger ones will take care of themselves or it might not even escalate to the bigger ones. Uber/Bolt suppose to dey pay for the fare to return rider's items or make them share the fare with the rider, or make the rider pay the fare. To say make Driver carry the cross is a NO NO for me. Abi now... nor be driver fault say rider forget sometin. *Yawns* This soji wey nor dey just make me dey lazy to go out go work. Completed three trips today, all join together no reach 1500. 6 Likes |

Donte101: Saka isn't the solution. You should have asked for what could have caused it and the solution. You would even wait endlessly because no one would grant your saka request. It could be your phone, infinix and tecno brands arent recommmended. Someone has also given you advice to always update your destination in such situation. Good luck to you in your hustle and may you not work in vain. 3 Likes |

Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Eizenburg: 6:19pm On Jan 04, 2020 |
Donte101: You do yourself a disservice when you check price of a trip before the trip actually ends. In most cases, if you don’t change destination in the app, the price would remain the same. |

Gentlelife50: Personal experience and app notification. I once had a rider who was low on cash and he asked me to check trip price if it’s reached his budget, I obliged. 5 minutes later, he made the same request, I obliged again. Immediately after the 2nd price check, I got a notification on the app that the trip price won’t be updated except I changed destination. I did, but the price at the end of the journey was ridiculous. I complained to UBER, a review was done and I was paid accordingly. Also picked up some riders from EKO Hotel to Eko Atlantic. Short distance, got there and ended the trip only for riders to change their minds about destination. Proceeded to the new destination and price didn’t change even though trip was on 1.5 surge. |

izzou:Your observations are right, but the fact is these set of okada riders also make bad uber riders. Someone that won't treat an okada man well will not treat an uber driver right. I will use myself as an example, before I enter any okada, if I have an amount that will involve looking for change I must inform the okada man, until I get to see anyone with it. & whenever I do stopover, I must surely compensate the okada man for it, no matter how little. Truth is we Nigerians naturally have this habit of taking good people for granted. The average uber driver is more enlightened & can easily caution anyone who trample on his right, reason we are experiencing this constant confrontation between drivers & riders. Even if every driver is a saint, some riders will still bring out that devilish part in u, same also apply to drivers. Not until everyone learn to do the right thing, I am afraid it is going to continue like this. But unfortunately no one is willing to do the right thing in this country...so here we are 7 Likes 1 Share |

Eizenburg:Well, if it's Uber once you check price and the person is on promo the rider will need to update the trip before it will start reading again. But you can only check price if it's a cash trip. As for bolt, the updated app one misbehaves sometimes all it needs is just for you to check fare boom it's giving you wahala. It wasn't like that before the season or before they introduced the updated app. 1 Like |

Let me share my own experience on stopovers. I drive in Abuja... I got a request from transcop to national assembly ( short trip) it was card trip....we got there. As I stopped I ended the trip.. rider asked me why I ended the trip...explained we have gotten to destination. He was like we would have updated it. Requested again and it came to me. We continued. After like 3 stops. I gently explained to rider that the stops overs would not pay me for the day cos I need cash urgently that day. He wanted to change face I didn't bother. ..I only explained to him that though the money would still come to me following week but would affect my target for that day...he just laughed and said I like money. ..we laughed over it.. we ended the trip and continues with offline...I was with him for like 6hrs and he paid me well for the offline... according to him ..he did that cos I gently explained to him I needed cash ( physical cash) on that day. For me it on depends on scenerio, manner of approach from driver and how the rider responds. In any way. We drivers should not be rude to all riders because of one bad experience. LET ME SHARE ANOTHER BAD EXPERIENCE. when I was a newbie in the hustle. I got a request in wuse market ( for those that drive in Abuja) ..I was stuck in traffic. Rider started yelling on the phone. I was just explaining I was in traffic. As I tried to find my way out of the traffic..I was arrested by police cos I made a wrong turn...bribed them with 3k ..he was just calling me....I finally got to wuse market...parked in front...as rider entered...naso touts follow enter....we started begging....within five minutes my rider just abandoned me and said it's my problem not his....I was shocked. ..I had to withdraw from my account to bribe touts ... My conclusion...there are bad riders and good one...there are ones that will understand and stupid ones.... As driver ..we should not be quick to be rude to riders even if they are stupid....we can still politely dish them 5 Likes |

Please where is the road to this Saka Tinubu sef? Which number? Tired of the way these companies treat us. Imagine the trip I had this evening taking Lekki Ikoyi bridge. After trip, toll fare no show. Rider paid and left. I asked for review, that one came toll fare showed. Rider refused to pay when I called. I can count on and on like that. Donte101: 1 Like |
