Beware: A Cautionary Tale of a Rider Who Ran Away with a Driver's Money

Image
In the world of ride-sharing and transportation services, trust is paramount. Drivers rely on passengers to uphold their end of the bargain by paying for their rides, but what happens when that trust is broken? In a recent incident that shook the trust within the industry, a rider ran away with a driver's hard-earned money, leaving behind a cautionary tale for both drivers and passengers alike. The story begins like any other routine ride. John, a seasoned driver with years of experience driving for a popular ride-sharing service, received a ride request from a passenger named Sarah. Sarah seemed like any other passenger – polite, friendly, and in need of a ride to her destination. As John navigated through the city streets, engaging in casual conversation with Sarah, he had no reason to suspect anything was amiss. Little did he know that this seemingly ordinary ride would take an unexpected turn. Upon reaching Sarah's destination, John expected the typical exchange of fare pay...
 Why would i want to do a trip from sangotedo to lekki phase 1 with ten minutes pick-up for 5000 naira fare. I even know bolt will remove there 25% painful commission.  I saw the price before i picked I saw the long pick up before i accept the trip I know of the 25 percent commission So why should i complain? Never would I do a trip like that unless i set destination. I have studied the business enough to know to decline and what to accept. To hell with driver score and bonus, my own choice of trip is what I look out for. I buy my fuel, maintain my car and also pay bolt so why won't i have a choice to work at the way i can maximize profits. If You are  complaining in these game it means you are not understanding the rules enough. You are not suppose to pick trip if the destination is not your choice except the price is tempting. You are not suppose to pick poor fare except it's your destination. You are not suppose to pick up many trips if surge is not at stake. Brothers,...

My fellow comrades, make una hear gist at the same time join me thank God. I was in Thomas estate when this trip came in around some minutes past 2am on indriver. I was to take this particular passenger to somewhere around Orinbanwa beside Blenco supermarket.  We embarked on the trip which was very smooth until we got to the busstop from where we are to connect the the rider's street.  On entering the street right from the express, A man out of the dark suddenly appeared in front of me while moving his right towards the edge of his short gesticulating to me to turn off my car, at the same time moving his right hand around his waist as though he  wanted to reach for his pistol that's tucked there.

My Near Kidnap Experience By A Rider.

 I got request  last Night while still at home and preparing to go hustle and it was raining heavily. Rider called shortly after I accepted the request. Telling me he wanted me to help him pick up a friend and sent her phone number.  Some how, I fell into deep sleep and woke up 2hours later. I quickly grabbed my phone to check the request and to check if I had missed calls but to my amazement, I didn't miss any call. Nobody called me  for 2hours ke while sleeping and I had someone waiting for me for pick up? I thought to myself. Neither Rider nor his friend I was going to pick called me to know why I was delaying. Well, I wanted to cancel the request but low and behold, I had mistakenly started the trip why sleeping and it was a card trip. Still wondering why these people didn't call me but I thought they went back to sleep too since it was raining.  However, I decided to go pick up in order not to look like I intentionally started trip and you and I know what w...

As if that was not enough, she claimed the husband was/is impotent in order to justify her actions and to shame the man. You can't tell us your husband doest have erection... not possible ( if he was/is, he wouldn't have the Courage to go for DNA and ran to Radio station to broadcast his plight.  Oya, lets assume his sperm couldn't impregnate/ get a woman pregnant, was it the agreement between you and him to go outside and get impregnated by other men?   (no man in his right senses will agree to that when there are various ways to get child). You should have walked away from the marriage rather than doing this to him without his consent.  However, this should be an opener to young single men. discus DNA with your fiancee/girlfriend while still Courting · let her know from the scratch the the importanc...

I stood there looking at him for few seconds, losed his Tie, unbuttoned his shirt and belt then gave him CPR. Baba woke up ,got him a ride to the nearest hospital and went my way.
