Whatever the cause of the surge might be, it only means drivers can force UberBolt to restructure if they can really carry out the strike effectively.

BAZ001:


Are you d one ?
After driving down to PU and as soon as I start telling them, they switch off and hope I will cancel. You never see anything

So you think they don’t know there is strike ?
When doctors go on strike you think they attend to emergency ? Or you ve not seen doctors go on strike for weeks ?

Have you read about Rosa Park 1955 and the boycotts. Do you know what the great grand fathers did abroad to move the blacks to where they are today as regard racism
Nigerians are not willing to pay the price at all.
All blacks decided to walk to office and boycott train cos of segregation.
Sure you didn’t join endears

The fight is for drivers and future drivers, some of us will soon stop driving.

You already said you won’t join the strike so go ahead and continue driving while I continue frustrating the drivers online.
No cancellations fees so once you accept my request you must cancel.

Adeoye2020:
Hello sir, this is bolt driver

Me: Aren’t you aware that you are suppose to be on strike?

Driver: I swear to God I no hear, I’m new to bolt, I no no.

Me: Now go offline, your fellows are out there destroying cars that are online.

Driver: Thank you sir, I wil go offline right away.

Let keep requesting and keep orientating them on why they needs to go offline.

Note: I’m not bolt driver but I support your struggle 100%.

Weightless:



Even a new car will visit a mechanic in it first 6month, you are now talking of tokunbo for ehailing waka please I dont believe, when it is not Tesla the person is using

Ghost1994:


Bro this is unnecessary
Majority of drivers dont know theres STRIKE

Shey driver wey him wife/kid or any of his family member dey in critical condition maybe admitted in the hospital will want to join the strike? When he or she need fund to save life

Abi the driver wey 5k remain for his remittance will want to join the strike?

I think you can request and hear from them instead of letting them drive all the way to your location and giving them hope. We're all human being I pray you never encounter any bad condition that will warrant you to work like jaaaki.

Life is hard out there for many people please dont stress any driver instead message them via bolt or uber app.

Thank you

Flash back to 2017, when a strike like this held.

Romeo the highest earner those days was busy running round lagos with surge requests
He ended up damaging the Honda car he was driving then

Use your head brethren

Felicity001:


Don't mind the bros him zobo no sweat at all... Some brand new car used for transportation business will visit mechanic workshop self let alone a 15 to 20years old car with a mileage of less than 100,000.

Pearl1910:


If d owner is d one driving, he definitely can recoup his investment in 1year.
If investor is doing HP he can recoup 2.4million in 24months.
I don't get, can't u do HP of 3m in 2yrs?

And Yes, u can actually drive a tokunbo car on ehailing for 6months without doing any repairs or buying tyre. Let's top generalizations for things that are completely subjective and experiential.

If I talk now, someone will say am bragging.

peeps4u:


Please, full gist. Was his car destroyed by aggrieved fellow drivers or what?

kanuisagoat:
I have to say I'm impressed with the level of compliance.

emmancecute:
no it wasn't, he wrecked the car by driving into a pool of water all in the name of picking riders.

BAZ001:


Lori Iro people full here and gullible ones dey believe everything

geezyk:
Omo! Everywhere red!!! These app companies know how to handle Nigerians, we're too greedy, the sure will make many drivers go to work, and that's where the problem lies. GREEDINESS.

northbird:


Yes and no. brotherly. Sometimes the cpys could set it.

BAZ001:


I don hold two drivers down now.
I request on surge 1.9x dem dey pickup they wait for me. One of them don call me tire, I say Oga wait I dey come. Next I will tell him your mates dey on strike you greedy man dey online.
One don cancel I don request again he go cancel tire...
let me add my quota to d strike.

Felicity001:


My friend stop all these false information you're dishing out carelessly please.

Bring forward a proof and let's see and don't just talk okay.

Use yourself as a yardstick, you've been in this line of business for 5yrs now right?

How did you start? Rental, hp or with your personal car? Which ever you started with, how much were you able to deliver assuming you used the same car for 24months? If on rental, you didn't change car in 24 months? Was the owner able to get another driver immediately after you dropped the car and remittance continued for him?

If on hp, how much did you collect the car? And how long did it take you before you finished payment? How much down payment did you paid before collecting the car? With the period of the contract you mean to tell us that the car worked even if not everyday in a week but every single week for good 24 months You didn't fall sick, neither did you had any break for 24months.

Okay, car is yours right? You worked 96 straight weeks without any stop gap inbtw.

Ok fine. Lets assume you have a yes answer to all of the above questions, now let's factor in cost of repairs alone since minimum net is slated for 100k monthly assuming on rental or owner's driving at 25k/week. Thank God somebody posted a chat expenses of N42k on one of his cars recently, assume that's the only money you spend maintenance every 2/3months that's a whooping sum of N504,000 on repairs alone at an average of 42k in every 2months. We haven't factor in cost of oil and filter change.

Now minus that value from your annually net of N1.2m then explain this honourable house how you recoup your initial capital in 24months now.

Let's leave the issue of using a car for transportation business for straight 16months without visiting a mechanic workshop for another day.

northbird:
If you truly doubt the manipulation tricks of the app coys. Today is valid proof. They set the surge to lure drivers out. Abule egba is always dull in the mornings week in week out.

Well it's the truth, whether you believe it or not. I've only changed condenser once, even filter I washed it instead of changing

Pearl1910:


Why dem no put surge for Alaba- Ijaniki area or Akute...
Baba surge is a system design, controlled by an algorithm once the driver/rider threshold is reached, it is activated. Today's surge is no different from Christmas day or New day year day surge when a lot of drivers are chilling with family but there is a lot of movement in town requiring our services

No matter how unanimous some people decisions are, there will always be one black sheep amongst them.
So, those people who have decided to boycott this Ehailing App companies don't have urgent needs? Will the person whose wife or kid in critical condition drive & make 35K before 4pm to settle the bills? Even if they do and the family end up passing away, is that not effort in futility?
When the government locked us indoor & failed to give us palliative for 3months, how many Uber drivers died of hunger ?
Let those who are committed to the course let out their grievances.

kanuisagoat:


Exactly

Sometimes a trip ends N1500 and the next thing you hear is, sir, I just sent you 1000, ill give you 500 naira cash. The N1000 naira is probably all he has in the account. People are struggling to pay the current fare.

I know because the day my vehicle was not available, I could not justify the price I saw on bolt and ended up using public transport despite having promo of 40% or so.

In a nutshell, they're telling you not to go on strike.
See the cool bonus they want to use to lure everyone out to drive.
Just say 7 trips and 7 hours per day and get 12k. Soft work

emmancecute:
Truth be told, This hustle is a Car wrecker. Doing 6 months without repairs is absolutely preposterous
