No one is above mistake but the Lady should also learn to take responsibility for what happened. She paid you to take her to her destination and not to watch over her property while in your Car, you have done your best to see if the phone can be found,let her go to the police to track her phone to know who the criminal was.

Omo wahala no dey finish for this hustle!

I picked this lady from old secretariat ikeja to shomolu(oloja, off olorunkemi) After dropping her, I got another one from off folagoro to barikisu iyede(one lounge like that)....a guy!

I closed and drove home after dropping the guy. This lady called me and said she forgot her nokia phone in the car. Apparently she sat in front and I didn't see any phone.

So I told her that I'll check and if I didn't see it, I'll go back to the lounge and meet the guy. I drove straight to the lounge and met the guy with his friends. I pleaded with him but he told me he didn't see any phone. He showed the 2 iPhone he uses. I begged him so much but he said; sir, honestly I didn't see any phone. Then I called the lady again and she rejected my call.

I sent her a message that I'm trying to help her but she's rejecting my calls. She called not quite long to threaten me that she will find me and lock me up, and she will make sure I'm severely dealt with. She also said she will go to bolt office and report me that I'm a thieve!

Omo I just taya for all these wahala! Wetin be all these temptation for God's sake?

Maybe I should just leave bolt and continue with my indrive. I no dey get all these yamayama wahala for indrive.

Meanwhile I told her that I'm innocent and whatever she wants to do, she should go ahead.

Omoapena:


Wait, why are you shivering over this, did you see any phone in your car?
How are you sure the phone was even left in your car, just tell her you can't find any phone in your car and that's all.


If she reports you, let them know immediately she called you, you searched your car and you couldn't find any phone and you're so sure the phone wasn't misplaced in your car, she should look elsewhere abeg....


She got nothing on you except you don't know how to defend yourself, even if she actually left it in your car, you can't find it and you're not the one who made her forget it, she should be responsible for her own carelessness....



There was a day a guy forgot his phone at the back seat of my car, it was a very good rider that called my attention to it, I took the guy on indrive and apparently, he has informed indrive of the missing phone and they sent me pop up message with his phone number and I called him but I let him know that if another person I carried after him has taken the phone, there will be nothing I could have done other than tell him I can't find his phone and he said that's true and he would have taken responsibility for loosing his phone....

The truth is, I didn't see any phone when I dropped her and the guy swore that he didn't take any phone.

I even sent her a message that I'm ready to come back to where I dropped her, if she wants, but she didn't reply me.

Thanks Jare, baba

Kaymaxi2222:
EXCLUSIVE: Bolt Nigeria lays off nearly half of its staff, says it’s part of a restructuring process......this thing dey hit bolt really hard oo
But that there 25% is too much for me Cos I can't imagine take a rider and then you give the rider discount and still take 20% commission from me so I am the one to take the burnt for the discount.......they are not serious yet

XPaul:
Good evening everyone.

How was our day?

I am new here and I need your guidance.

I own a Honda Accord 2010 and I want to start doing Uber (only) on Saturdays majorly. I don’t know if I would be able to add Sunday. I have a 9-5 job.

Please share all the possible advice with me as I have mostly been a rider.


What documents would I need? Is there a thread on the registration steps?

Thank you for your help

The Bolded is fact not an insinuation, some riders are demonically possess. Some riders, spirit of violence dey follow them, some spirit of death, some spirit of badluck. The ones with badluck. Once you carry them your car will start developing fault, you go dey spend unnecessary and unbudgeted money on your car through out that day, week or month. Is either you collide with someone's car, or some one collide with your car. Or you got even enter police or Lastma wahala. Or even get accident. Those ones with spirit of violence, nah dem dey bring up issues that will lead to physical fight, assault and false accusations wey dey make BOLT block drivers accant

A friend of mine once picked a rider from one club at surulere at night going to ikoyi, when they got to Obalende. She ask him to end the trip at ikoyi road where they have ikoyi passport office, she got down from car and threw transport fare to him through the car windows. My guy was sitting in the car, as he bent down to pick up the money and he raised his head. The rider he carried turned to a big dark image and disappeared near the cemetery there.

He said immediately his head began to swell up and goosebumps were all over his body. After that encounter he fell sick for days.

This job makes someone vulnerable to assault, physical and spiritual attack, if you no dey spiritually strong or your head no strong. You go see shege banza.

You know how many drivers wey dey carry spirit thinking they dey are carrying human, Most especially at night. I no blame some drivers wey dey put Big Bible on top Dashboard

Omo make I leave this story for another day.

Ha! In a tense situation like that, don't do the mistake of going to meet rider in their comfort zone to explain what kwanu ? A mob may be waiting for you. Na naija we dey Ooo.. people wey no even know how e take start will jump into conclusion.

You even waste your fuel go dey meet another rider accusing him of stealing a phone. That's another mistake because if nah werey rider u go meet, dem go change am for you.

That rider that refused to pay initially but later paid, God know say if nah me I will not even go on that trip from the beginning because the red flags are already there.

I try as much as I can to avoid toxic riders. Me self get my own frustrations for head but I try as much as I can not to pass it onto another person.

Last Sunday I got a request around 10pm from lekki going to ikeja, normal normal, nah very juicy trip for me that stays on the mainland. But the attitude of the rider made me cancel after like one minute talk over the phone.

Me: Good evening ma, I will be there in 7 minutes going by Google map.
Rider : Did not even return the greetings. Just start coming, be fast and that 7 minutes is too much.
Me : Still maintaining my cool, I already told you how long it will take, sometimes it might not be up to that. Can you wait for 7 minutes ?
Rider : Oga stop talking too much and start coming.
Me : Just ended the call, cancel and set my destination back.
E no pass like that.

Also, drivers should make sure that their inner lights are working very well, so that anytime a rider alights, there would be enough light for you and the rider to see any item a rider is about to leave behind.

Omoapena:


No dispute, the job has psychological effect, can't count how many times the job has made me angry unnecessarily, anytime I get a bad day from the job, I will just look for a trip that will take me home, before this fuel increment, anytime I'm having a bad day, even if I'm in ajah under bridge, I will blow empty from there till I get home but now, even if I'm in Yaba, I will want to wait for a trip that will bring me closer to ilupeju or mushin and waiting for that kind trip when I'm already vexed will just be adding to my frustration....



As it is rn, my mental health is at stake cox of this job...

Glithronix:

@the bold: How
Na so e hard reach?
All those devilish riders don't even get me at all.
Once I drop you, I forget about you straight.
The only thing that gets me is multiple cancellation, cos I will have to replenish my account my my saving. Na only this one dey vex me. But still, after every-every, once I reach house, I flex it off so far the profit keeps rolling in.
It is well.

Much respect, boss.

Not just the riders, everything relating to the work is exhausting and if someone isn't careful, you will be stucked with the work for a long time...

I can't believe you are just getting to know that you will find it hard to leave the job if you are not determined to leave. Not everyone can handle the mental health that comes with the job. Like play, the person here that started 2022 said he just wants to gather funds from Uber within one year to go full time on his electronics business is still here with no leaving time in sight.

I won't lie you, this hustle is like occultic group, once you're in, to leave will be very difficult.

It takes the grace of God and focus to leave.

I've known some people that have been in this hustle for more than 3 years and they can't boast of 100k in their account or even have a car of their own.

Another person, once he doesn't work in a day, it will affect that day feeding, if his car has just brake pad issues, he will borrow money to fix it and such person isn't even thinking of doing something else, he's stuck with the hustle till miracle will happen in his life...



This hustle is only good for a single and focus man, any family man doing this business will find it very difficult to exit....

Itsrm:


Isn't this more of an economy thing than ehailing? Most people are just living from hand to mouth with savings barely enough to do anything reasonable.

pope191:


The General Weldone! You’ve won the battle, but the war is still on.

I don drop key, climb bded back. Clap for yourself.

Omoapena:


Economy aside, the hustle self won't let you save, the moment you feel you have saved something, fiam, car issue will take it back...


How many drivers can boast of having 500k sitting in their account for more than 6months without touching it...


The hustle is only good to sort direct bills and upkeep but for investment purpose, you won't be able to meet up with that, especially if you're a family person...

Gentlechika:
it gives you that sense of security of steady inflow of cash on a daily basis, and creates that euphoria of fear of the unknown. Like "what if things didn't work out as planned if I leave bolt". I can tell you, every one will have to face this challenge. Just like ehailing has it's challenges other businesses do too. We just need to be bold and courageous. Ehailing is just a stepping stone to greatness, let's not be contented.

YeyeGbami:
