Hi Wazuans, I'm Boni founder and CEO of Sematime the company behind NipeLift. Looks like I'm late to this train. Anyways, allow me to respond to some of the issues raised here: a) On safety and security - we have a 3 tired verification process: phone number, Mpesa verification where you make a refundable Ksh 1 to our paybill to allow us get your mpesa names, we require copies of national ID and driving license for drivers, prepayments of lift bookings. Pleas follow this thread to see our safety measures - https://twitter.com/nipe...062602241918541824?s=19
b) On 'Uber' ad - I must admit that took some balls but for the ordinary folks on the streets nothing resonates more with this carpooling thing. You should check out the 'Slay queens of Nairobi' advert - https://twitter.com/nipe...061991879787667458?s=19
c) On carjackings & other ills of our society etc; it's a possibility but then that's why our verification process is so tight to weed off would be outliers. In fact, any how you look at it, we do way much better than all the taxi hailing apps out there. d) On insurance, for most cases its only invalidated if a non-psv was doing it for 'profit, gain or reward'. As someone here rightfully pointed out, NipeLift drivers are only in it to recoupe costs. Nothing more nothing less. But still, there are other solutions to this problem like 'on-demand insurance' where you pay XX amount for XXXX cover. See what Sendy does with courier - https://aptantech.com/20...surance-for-deliveries/
I'm really grateful to those that took their time to use the app. Refer a friend or members if your family. I'm gonna be camped here for next couple of days to answer any queries you guys may have. CEO & Founder @Sematime & @Nipelift

Kenyans give lifts by stopping at the stage and buying passengers from makangas/mungiki. Risk is; 1. Security - You lift or are lifted by thugs; and 2. Expectations - You lift @mugundaman and he expects you to take him to middle of nowhere with no roads and lighting. To address these issues the developers should take a community approach to increase trust. Also have an accepted code for lifting. For instance if Wazua started a lifting community, I won't have a problem lifting or being lifted by a wazuan. Life is short. Live passionately.

No one called anyone a dimwit if anything pure respect for y'all on Wazua. I think we can all converse in a civilized manner. Otherwise tupatane Uhuru Park for some "whose gotta a bigger dick" parade. How many times have you heard of 'Uber for x,y & z? Too many to keep tabs on. Still, its deeper than that - introspect further. It's not what it always seems. Controversy marketing has been a thing since 1990, it's 2018. Hello! On insurance, you perhaps need to think and consult far and wide. Start with our site https://nipeLift.sematime.com then Google carpooling in EU, India etc. Perhaps you'll get to see what's at stake.

For instance if Wazua started a lifting community, I won't have a problem lifting or being lifted by a wazuan. Good observations but then that's what you get when you hitch a ride in that Noah, Probox or Sienta from Eldoret to Nairobi. Not vetted, not verified, no background checks, nothing. We know better; before we can allow anyone to book or offer a lift they must all have been checked and verified in advance. Drivers are required to set their dropoff and pickup points in advance. This way the passenger expectations are met to avoid those ackward detours. CEO & Founder @Sematime & @Nipelift

Hahaha.. This Nipe Lift thinks fellows here are idiots.
1.He uses Uber name to advertise his illegal scheme.More less like Toss saying our Omo called Toss.This clearly shows it is a scam and meant to fool that nipe lift is affiliated to Uber.
2. On the insurance, no insurance in Kenya will accept such nonsense unless the vehicle has PSV insurance. Also if the vehicle carries more than one passenger, it will need TLB license.Drivers carrying passengers are also required to have class A license.Police have had crackdowns on private vehicles carrying passengers and at times ask for identification of people traveling in private cars to prove relations to the driver.This Nipe Lift fails all the tests of the law and should be shunned.
You can insult me instead of providing credible confirmation from Insurance Regulatory Authority, NTSA and police department with this bogus illegal criminal fraudulent NipeLift.
