Detective Izzou, please help us this "flagbearing" member... Lol

mabeni:
My experience with a bribe seeking police man in oshodi, immediately after LASTMA office.

I was flagged down and without excitation, I pulled over. Officer walked up to me and asked for my documents... I told him "I am uber driver that I can't go online if any of my papers is invalid ". Officer turned deaf ears.
He demanded to see my drivers licence, vehicle licence, road worthiness and insurance. He checked everything and they were all valid.

Now, officer, demanded to see my Allocation of Number plate......I replied him to use his gadget to check if the plate number is valid or not
He demanded to see my CMR. I asked him what CMR is. He said central motor bla bla bla. I told him i have given him all he needed to see and asked him if he was a VIO and why was doing VIO job.
He replied by asking me if I wanted to teach him his job.
I knew all he wanted was money and I didn't have time and money to give.

I jejely reverse dand drove off.
Though, I left my papers with him...they are photocopies

Trouble sleep, yanga go wake am!

This comedy too much!

Bros you Don allow one of their field officers run you street... Lol. Application for Prepaid na free and it's done online. If you still have the receipts and other evidence of the extortions/bribes, send it via email to [email protected].
Na who disconnect you go come beg you to reconnect and meter you.

abeniagbon:
They should just distribute the meter to our house and stop extorting us from our hard earn.

Nigeria is not easy and money is not easy to see anywhere... I'm reporting them here so people can see what is going on... Sending email doesn't help any organisation in Nigeria... Cos they are bunch of criminal... They should share the prepaid meter with them. Cos I have and they go about asking and taking bribe isn't that criminal act enough....


What is lalastica doing self? Front page abeg

Feli...baba to the rescue. After a morning of drought without any messages on this thread, your long epistle is not so lengthy��


Na joke I dy o! Abeg hide ya wheel spanner.

Felicity001:



Haha haha haha haha... This one burst my brain

Some of your riders deserve worst...

I don't do excess luggage, if your luggage is not handy sorry is your 2nd name. Even airways charges for excess luggage, danfo and Inter state transporters charge for excess luggage.

Now, you're not paying me for that yet you still want me to help you load it inside my boot? Pray it's not raining if not the rain go beat u tire because I won't even carry you unless you agree to pay an extra 2k depending on the distance because too many riders and excess luggage increases load on the car thereby higher fuel to power the car to yoir destination and more weight on the car components like shocks, bushings, tyriod, bolt t etc...


Now, let me share two experiences within these little period of my break from here while i keep reading to catch up with the thread.

Was somewhere around Allen on Wednesday when i got this resq
The lady called to inform me I was picking up her mum from ibtc bank... I was just a block away so I quickly arrived, parked while waiting for the woman to come out believing she was inside.

Next thing, phine rang...
Mother: where are you na I've been waiting for u since (with a very loud, authoritative, commanding and annoying tone)
Me: still trying to be cool by trying to salute
Mother: where r you, I'm in a hurry and I'm at ibtc pensions, where are you? You're delaying me, whats wrong with you? Bla bla bla...
Me: madam will you shout up and address me with respect, by the way why are you shouting? Do you know me b4? In fact bye.

I hanged up and cancelled the trip immediately as it as already gotten to paid wait time.

Daughter called few minutes later to confirm if I'd picked her up, sorry you provided the wrong addi and ur mum was sounding too rude... Request again for her with the right addi... Like she knows the kinda of mum she has she didn't even wait for me to finish she just hanged up.

Me, what's my own, I've satisfied my mind.

About 30min later, a lady called narrating how I was to pick up a woman from her office and how the said woman left an item behind. Begging for her .

Me I've already deleted the text mgs containing the number the daughter sent b4, asked her to call back since I've to trace back to find any of the s....

CASE 2
Last night I was somewhere in chevron drive seriously looking for a trip back home, luckily got one to oniru...

After drop off I got another to MMAI and was happy not knowing it won't end well.

Rider put in the wrong address yet was still claiming right and saying she input the her street, okay is your street of fadojo street around oniru palace, yes but you're supposed to be here... A man voice took over and instead of the idiot to talk to me like a fellow man with sense he was even saying worst than the woman... How sad I never knew women are more smarter than some dic.k head men... Next thing the idiot called me Stu.pid...
Me hoodlum driver na him U dey call Stu.pid... Ur own don finish...

I told him sorry sir, got the right street address which was about 500m away... Called him to come out... The idiot was bolf enough to come out with his ugly gf.... By then i was sitting on top my boot with my wheel spinal on my hands. As the came out...

Me: you're so so and so person right? My rider?
The lady responded, yes! Was about shouting I quickly cut her off...
Me: who was the guy on the phone.
The guy answered it me, this time with a cool voice after seeing my tuch appearance and my ride...

So na I be the fool dey call ur papa, ur generation stupid abi? I reviewed my wheel spinal from behind my back where I was hiding it... Walking towards him... Omo na so the girl stepped back the guy too took 2stepz back quickly too...

Me: ogun go kill you for calling me stupid, devil punish that ur black lips... Fo.ol! Next time try am again.

I entered my car zoomed off!

Both of them where frozen didn't even say a single word.


Case 3...

Loading...

Na so the vawulence take end? Lol


While this is a thread dedicated to ride-Sharing activities, I don't think it's cool throwing shades at people's other hustles... What do I even know!�‍♂️

One thing is sure, everyone here has something else that is going on in their lives besides bolt/uber/indriver. Dem no dy stay one place watch masquerade pursue Sapa o!


God bless us all.

Wait o, where's Blackbishop? E yaff Tay o. Hope you're good?

Na WA o... Finally I don reach last page.

Congratulations oga Feli and cheers to all pilots the shared experiences dy make sense.

Oga Bazo, well done o! I dy always look forward to your posts. Leave LD alone o!

Blackbishop:


Bro why will I buy Corolla when civic or other cheap cars can do it. That is a Businessman Mindset.

People going for corolla at this stage are either ignorant or brainwashed into believing that is the only tool.

Very soon, after owners/landlords revolt finish, car sellers/dealers of Honda, Kia and Volvo go start their own... Lol

Blackbishop:


Check this out, you have 4 cars on the platform delivering 25k weekly that is 100k per week, as a business man you are not putting your home expenses on it. Per month you have 400k steady and you have up to par cars no weekly wahala.

So according to Dru he only run services and not major repair in 6 months that is 2.4milla. servicing and the minor repairs coat him 300k for the six months on all his cars that is a balance of 2.1milla left.

So as a business man he his making more profit.

Eskiss me sir... Please let's do the analysis end-to-end.

To have 4 corolla cars on the platforms , that's an investment of N10m Sir. So it means you invested 10m and you make 400k monthly.

CheerfulGiver:
I drive my own car. And here's my current weekly earnings. I'll quote you again at the end of today

No police, no lastma, no mechanic, no repairs.

I only added a liter of engine oil cos I realized my oil was short just after 3000 miles from last service.

Look for another name to use for your analysis. I have broken all shackles.

Bros welcome back o... Hope you represented us well at Oba? Lol



I come in peace o... Ejoor

IFSHR:
How much the driver makes with a car on rental is not the business of the car owner.. the problem is not the earning, the problem is the contract details used, and the man management prowess of the car owner....

The average car owner don't know anything about the business, and their failure starts from asking for just any rental agreement contract, they modify the name and validate the contract without personalising it to fit their preference and what they are offering..imagine a landlord in VGC using same tenancy agreement with a landlord in Akute e.t.c. Your rental agreement must represent the current economy and projected economy of the business (if not you will complain and cry every-time)

Secondly, Rental implies giving out/transfering possession of a particular thing (not ownership) to a second party for use in return for an agreed fee, termed rental fee) the returns generated from the use of the item is basically the rentee largese and by law in return he is expected to pay the agreed rental fee to the renter .... So whether the rentee makes more than the rental fee that's his gain and if the rentee makes less than it, definitely his loss, anything other than this is just individual play of give and take. For instance: you rent out a house and the company makes a lot of money and you feel cheated, the legal thing to do is to activate the part of the contract which states the rental fee is open to renegotiation, but the question is how many of this rental contract have such provision (none that I have seen)

Thirdly, under rental especially for an item that has depreciating or appreciating attribute there must always be a well stated plan of action, when it comes to maintenance and repairs, most of the rental agreement just indicate repairs and maintenance to be handled by owner (wrong move) some indicate that repairs below or above this amount (wrong move). Imagine renting a house and your bulb gets spoilt and you start disturbing your landlord (?). For car , there are two type of cost ...running cost and repair cost....running cost such as fueling, servicing, buying of battery, electrical fault ought to be handled by the driver, why repairs such as engine related, gear related and other high end expenses should be handled by the renter (ownership is not transferred)

Renter (car owner) have every right to review his rental fee, very legal, that can be done reviewing the current earning possiblity, the current repair expenses, and you draw up your contract and table your offer to the rentee (driver) it's left for him to accept, reject or counter offer. (simple).

Lastly, the man management skill, if you don't possess it, you have no business investing in this nature of business... You must be ready to hire, review, fire, and inspect....lack in any of those areas and you will cry bitterly...

I will restate my point, any amount the driver makes out of the car is never the business of the car owner....if you want most of the earning to be yours as the owner, then what you have to do is employ drivers (I moove)

I love this. You've spoken the truth. Many owners do not personalize their contracts. As a matter of fact, many owners do not have a basic understanding of this business. They "dive" in only because they hear there's profit to be made.
