There are answers by veterans to all these in previous pages, but let me try in my lil way

1. Since you're sure of raising about 2m, you can never be wrong with Corolla. If your money can't get Coro, there are other cars like Honda civic, city, big daddy, elantra (but parts quite expensive).
You can not go wrong with civic also, it is becoming more adopted for this job and quite cheaper than coro, with good fuel economy.

2. If you can drive already, all you need do is to learn how to use google map. You may start using google map in your place now to master Gmap. Where people often get it wrong is "at about 40m, take left" or "take the next turning by the left" and whereas, the next turning might not be the one Gmap recognises, you need to learn how to check your map and confirm the next turning you're or approaching is the right one by looking at your location on the map and the next direction map is telling you to take.
You get to understand Gmap as you use it more often.

3. If you're coming to lag soon, it is advisable you registerter in Lagos because you might not have been called for capturing back home by the time you will be coming to Lagos, which means having to go back jome for capturing if you're already in lagos. Look for pattyb or something on NL, she does DL and reliable.

4. You need comprehensive/third party insurance, road worthiness, necessary cat docs. I dont know if hackney and lasdri are compulsory for new driver, you may inquire about this from this thread.

Once your temp DL is out, even if you're yet to get a car, I advise you register on uber and go for training so that you can upload your vehicle when it arrives and hit the ground running with uber, and then go ahead with bolt.


Good luck.

But am in severe need of advice.

3) Since i"ll be learning how to drive here in Lagos. Please how fast and easy can i Learn to navigate the Lagos road
3) how can i start applying for my drivers licence here in Lagos

Please i really appreciate everyone here and your candid advice is needed.

I recently relocated to the east (I got a better job).) I noticed I make more trips here in the east more in Lagos. What could be the reason? I'm like 10 rides away from winning bolt 5k (55 rides) bonus. Something I would have laughed off when I was in Lagos.

I work half day Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then other days I start by 10 or 11am and close by 8 or 9pm or earlier

I took this man's son(half caste) and and wife(Nigerian woman) from a school on African lane off admiralty road to park view estate. He promised to send my money, but till now I haven't received it. The fare was N2000.

Make Una call am for me

He's probably Indian or Lebanese, he also said he will delete the app. He has blocked my number too


Below is our conversations.

kanuisagoat:
Can someone please help calculate the expected amount for a trip that took 64 minutes over a distance of 21.9km. Bolt arrived at N2500 but I somehow think it should be more.

InfinityEstates:


What's the traffic situation and road conditions there like?

He didnt pick but replied my text

peeps4u:

toomush:



Thanks bro


He has been promising since, I hope he pays.

UcLloyd:



U know his house, give him till close of tomorrow, if he doesn't pay, go there on Sunday morning, the wife will be there, she will make him pay you

UcLloyd:



Owerri

peeps4u:

Thought as much
Hope the earnings are reasonable sha?

toomush:



When I ended the trip, the wife told me her husband will pay, I called him and told him the fare, he flared that the price was on the high side( nah surge trip) that he didn't know it will be this high, I told him to contact bolt if he has a problem with the fare, he said he was going to delete bolt(wetin concern me) he said I should send my account details, which I did.

I ended the call, I told the wife that she and the son should wait till I get alert, that her husband didn't sound like he was going to pay, she pleaded with me that he will pay, that she will make sure he does, they waited a while, I told her to go since I know there house(I had another rider that have been waiting for me)

So 100Naira daily for a year is not even up to 100$

Duke111:



Brake pads
Alternator
Spark plugs
Spark coils

These above are not actually correct based on condition of the part u are buying.

Please when buying plugs buy IRIDIUM quality don’t buy the conventional one.

I just changed my plugs last week, omo my fuel consumption reduced wella. So if e don tey wey u changed your spark plugs endeavor to do it asap.
Peace

nitigriti:


Start: #220.00
Distance: 21.9km x #67/km = #1,467.30
Time: 64 minutes x #11/minute = #704.00

Total = #2,391.30
There is probably some wait time.

Bolt's calculation is kwaret.

mrjaydee:
Omo if you cant get to the island before 8am this days just forget it and work on the mainland.

Funny enough going back from the island to mainland is very free..

SaintHilary:
It's such a shame this country has gone to the dogs!

>>Driving at Lekki-Epe Exp tonight made me realize this country will take a very long time to b sane again,

-ZERO SAFETY, LAWLESSNESS IS NOW THE DAILY ORDER
-Bike men picking passengers and driving anyhow cus no police n LASTMA anymore, Some even using one way by this time of the night
-Pedestrians crossing the busy road like they're immune to vehicle collision(I almost jam one sef)

>>Response of the govt is to increase fuel price.As at now, only Northwest has fuel from VGC-Chevron

>>Okay make we watch Super Eagles match, NO SINGLE LOCAL STATION could stream a match being played in the country

>>Is there any hope for the Average Nigerian

AngryIgboDon:



Get either a 2003-2006 Camry of 4 plugs or you get a Corrola of between 2004-2007. There parts are very cheap at Ladipo and First gate Agidingbi. Even a roadside vulcanizer knows one or two about the cars above and you can never be stranded along the road.

Forget Elantra (Expensive parts) and forget that very useless plastic car called Honda civic. Infact for your sanity, avoid all HONDAS.

If you are getting a corrolla, make sure you stay in a gated house, install a car tracker and also install an alarm. Also get a comprehensive insurance. Above all, pray to God.

My Reason for these 2 Cars? Both are cheap to maintain, Corrolla is very great in fuel economy and the 2 cars rugged die.

Finally, make sure any car you are buying have all their Catalysts intact. Mechanics and Panel beaters steal it well well.

Radautoworks and Gazzuzz knows better.
