A driver on rentals or HP will most likely not have this choice.

Mainland has so many traps though

pope191:


Hmmm, u need to drive on Uber so u can collect ur e-driver certificate

I don hang boot

Bigleaf1006:


You just have to know ur way around. There are traps everywhere in Lagos though.

Babadee1900:
Mainland own is extra. I once paid 20k in 2016 just because I carry head enter One-way. I begged them to let me reverse out since I was less than 10metres into the one way road, they didn’t listen.

Places like Yaba, Shomolu, Oshodi, Lagos Island and VI have enough One-ways

If an Uber driver is not sharp, plus having God's mercy, dem go chop am

One way to know if somewhere is one way is to see how the cars are parked, and if you aren't sure, just ask.

Trust Lagosians to always help in such times of need

Especially Agberos. They are always very helpful in such situations.

There was a time I was still struggling with the routes in Lagos Island.

Wanted to enter a street, but I just felt I should ask

Na so everybody shout say make I turn back. Na dem stop motor for back for me sef

Babadee1900:
I am not so good with names of places in mainland. There’s one road like that around Isolo that you can use to link Aguda Surulere, I don’t know if you are familiar with that area. It was around that area. The road scatter for my face that year chai.

izzou:


I don hang boot

ofime123:
Also hanging boot pretty soon

Truck gang

I'm happy for you sir. Life is in phases. Na another one you wan enter so

izzou:


Those sides have One-ways too.

Sometimes, I just slow down and watch cars pass. Then I use how they move to sketch

Mainland is funny sha

Babadee1900:
Good one In Lagos generally if you are not smart.............. OYO

I tell you.

Do everything and anything to protect your money, or else....

I can't count how many times I've told my riders that I just started driving on Uber the day before, so they can direct me (especially ladies)

Me: Ma, I'm sorry but I don't know where we are, and the map isn't working

(Its a lie oh. I just want to be sure we are not making the wrong turns)

Her: Are you not an Uber driver? Can't you use your app?

Me: I just started yesterday, and I came to Lagos last week. So it's not been easy learning the ropes

She becomes empathetic

Her: I'm sorry. Just turn left

....and then the directions begin

InfinityEstates:




No be lie o. Na every week I dey enter Lagos newly. And some riders would be so nice to direct you and give you mini tour of Lagos.

I remember one Christ embassy pastor I gave this lie.

After we ended the trip, he held my hands and prayed for me, asking God to uplift me in the hustle



It wasn't easy holding back the laughs

Babadee1900:
I do this too. Since the day I took a rider I was supposed to take to Opebi to Mile 12 I don’t hesitate to ask to them for directions.

The man I took to Eco bank Akin Adesola yesterday. He asked if I know Akin Adesola, I said Yes. He asked if I know the Exact place where Eco Bank is on that road, I said No.

He updated the address from Eko Hotel to Eco Bank Akin Adesola, I got the notification on the App and I quickly loaded Gmap, Gmap was now saying we should goto lagos island

Google map no well sha

But I don't blame it. The Ecobank is like the last building before you climb the Bonny camp bridge and descend at that US embassy car park before you face Onikan stadium. That one is their HQ on Ahmadu bello

Maybe na that one Gmap see, come say make you go Lagos Island

Blackbishop:


Not to brag myself but if anytime they do that stuff with yhu for oshodi I can rescue you abeg no let anybody chalow you for oshodi.... Na threat Dem sabi. Local government guys dey respect person. Just no follow Dem fight or argue

Babadee1900:
They have a branch at Akin Adesola St, VI. It was supposed to be that one.

Meanwhile let me share this Goodnews with my brothers.

One Monday, I secured a job for my babe through a rider. Comes with a good pay and some allowances

Congratulations to you both.

I'm sure it's near that Brown street they caught you. They fix One-way signs overnight in that area

Photocopy another and move on brother

Avoid Oshodi trips for now. Anyday you get chance, go there (without your car) and appease them. By then, dem go accept the #2400

InfinityEstates:


Congrats Boss... More wins.

BAZ001:


You mean he should go back and collect the photocopy ? What could be the implication of ignoring it.
I done leave my photocopy with police once, but never cared. I have 3 copies in d car.

But the one that bothers me is FRSC

I was given a ticket because d babe beside me didn't use seat belt.
Ticket 2k they took the original vehicle license (I just renewed it that week). Told me to go and pay on Monday because it was a Saturday.

Went to first bank to pay on Monday , cashier checked and said road safety site or link is down I should check back next day.
Two days after I went same story. I tried another branch same story. Na so I forgot about it, but Fortunately i wrapped d 2k cash and first bank teller together.

2 months after as I was driving out from stadium towards Iponri/ Eko bridge, their car was just parking and they were coming out. So I was the first car they saw and just stopped me and the man behind me.
I was sweating inside AC ...

immediately they said oga bring your papers I just jejely brought out the ticket, teller and cash that it's bank network o.

The man say ahhh I said bring your papers u bringing ticket ? He now looked and said, oh we have arrested you before and u didn't go to pay na so he call him oga say see this man bla bla. Na so I begin beg oga say I no dey Lagos I just come back and na bank cos am, dt I filled the teller.
D oga said my money will be increasing every day and I will pay more to collect my papers.

To cut long story short I couldn't pay, till I misplaced d teller and spent d money.
I renewed my license d next year and moved on.

But I feel concerned, don't know if they still have it in their records though, it was 2016.

ThAts why I'm asking why you want him to still go back to collect photocopy

Bigleaf1006:


You never jam the one wey go even dey more confused than you.

The last thing I can do in this life is trust a lady for directions. I don't know if it's by default, ladies just suck at knowing there way.

Will never forget one silly one I took to one of those funny estates around ilaje Rd.

The heavens was pissing bloody that day and the entire street was flooded, asked a guy standing by if it was ok to enter, guy told me not to try it that I should go round and take next street, silly girl told me not to worry that it was fine to enter the water like that, omo nah so I go enta gutter following this silly girl's direction.

I was like what dah f**k, thought you said you lived here?

I just off engine leave am for car,she by herself carry her leg enta d water like that her phone come drop for the water, nah so she scream, I Noh even send am!! Nonsense
