You’re advising that one? A semi educated black African migrant menial worker over “there in the USA” who their society tramples upon daily both physically and mentally to the extent that the only place he can feel superior in any way is to look back towards his home country’s citizens on a faceless forum and try to project an image of competition and accomplishment in every single opportunity he gets just to feel better about himself?

Leave that guy. His issues are heavy upon his shoulders. When someone can’t write a single paragraph without putting the statement ‘here in the USA’, you should know that person considers the fact that he could afford a one way plane ticket at a particular time in his past to be the greatest achievement of his life till date.

His character will never change. We will manage him like that. Being ‘in the usa’ has really made him the greatest man from his village and we should commend him for that.

Good luck

Thanks baba I really appreciate you.

Please fasten your seat belt because this is going to be the longest post you'd ever read on NL as its My chronicle, from cradle to grave.

You know I've really learnt a lot in this line of business and mostly from this thread as it has built me, revamped me, renewed me and has as well changed me a lot.

The attacks, criticisms, condescending comments and most importantly the good words of wisdom directed at me and to others I get mostly from this thread from the very day I joined as made me a better person.

I started this hustle with my personal car EOD 2005,V6 October, 2019, then opted for a rental.

First rented car was a Corolla, a lady from NL, used the car for just 2weeks. Going home from picking up the car I noticed a fault, sluggishness with the transmission, managed it for the first week till I confirmed it was a faulty sensor... I supported her in the fixing with 5k after paying her 25k for the first week despite not being able to work effectively with the car...week 2 problem persist... I couldn't work and my son at the point fell sick so I needed to rush him to the hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja... On getting back home I drove out to get something and on my way this young lady (My owner partner) called asking where I was...told her...okay pls remain there...! Next I saw she pulled over on a bike, asked me to clear. Na nylon bag I use to carry my belongings on the car reach house that day. was such an embarrassing scene as ppl were just looking at us because I tried to offered to drive her down to her house since she doesn't even know how but madam bluntly refused. She must have thought I was working viewing from her tracker.
Got home, picked up my car keys, then went to where I was going to b4.

Next, I followed suit from my search on NL for a car to rent, came across this thread. I didn't observed very well, neither did I read through some pages to identify key men... My bad . I just joined the moving train, shared experience for few days then made an ads for rental, next day or thereabout I got a call from someone here who happens to be my 1st oga at the top Mr. Dru23... Did the whole process remotely, the process took almost like forever-3-4months I supposed, within those time i turned down a lot of offers which If I've to be honest I regretted much later... The one that pained me the most was a HP offer from another woman here in this thread for a Corolla Sport for just 1.8m... Chai!!! I dont like remembering this... The former driver missed used the car for just 3months after this lovely magodo woman bought the car direct tokunbo, even me self couldn't believe it when I went for inspection. Well, I think I was naive at that point reason I turned down the offer.
Another man here in Ogba wanted to buy me a biggy for hp and needed just N1m as profit but only God can explain why that deal didn't sail through... End of january, 2020 dru's car came up that was how we went on our 7-8months partnership. Everything went in fine from day one till the very end. Ran into an accident along college Rd, Ogba, spent additional 15k in addition to the 14k the guy that caused the accident gave me to fix the car... Painting was already arranged to be done the following week. Oga called for his car the next day after taking the car to show and explain to him what happened and how far I'd gone with the fixing with plans on painting. I left my belongings in the car with the hope I was gonna be called upon as he said only to get home to read of how he's decided to terminate our 7/8months partnership without any notice or issue. No wam! We move!

I'd sold off my personal car at this point, so man was stranded, wi-fi was close to her delivery date, the world just came out of covid-19 lockdown, savings had dried up, bush had taken over my farm since no interstate travel due to lockdown... Men! I was destabilized for the very 1st time in my entire life... B4 i knew the saga started, so I'd to also add the contest of saving my good name from being dragged in the mud by this guy who I only met just once for the 7/8months of our partnership without committing any offense or wrong did. If not for God man would have attempted suicide.
Las Las I thank God for mama radautoworks who came through to give some words of confinement in me... At least I've somebody that believed I didn't commit all the allegations levelled against me by them @dru that alone gave me courage to move on.

Got another rental afterwards, this off course took some time.

Then went on a HP on a 9ja used Corolla which later got accident exactly one month after picking up the car. Parked in front of a car wash waiting to drive in to watch my car so to hit the road after church service, all of a sudden a Siena bus ran into my car from behind destroying the car badly. Owner came, tolled his car away and that was the end of it... I lost my 100k down payment plus 1month payment as well. Thank God I was unhurt because I was right inside the car when the accident happened. This was Nov 1st, 2020.

Got a biggy 02 barely a week later... Ha! That car wanted to kill my enemy but God no gree make him kill me... I bought b3, spare tire and wheel, bought 2 tires for the car, fix water leaking AC hoist, paid 150k for 1-way due to bad breaks,, shaft pulled off one week after another, las las, AC pack off... Watin I no see for this car body... Over 40k of my personal money went down on this car... E come won be like say them cause me... But I never gave up i kept pushing. Las las after I don fix this car finish the guy collected his car with the disguise he wants to sell it. 1 week later I saw car being used by another driver.

Same week I got another biggy V6, 2002 as well... After carrying out oil change and replacement of 2 brand new shock absorbers with my money while partner agreed to refund me, 3days after guy man said his colleague at work wants to make use of car for marriage. Na for coastain round about I hand over car to the guy. Got home via public motor that Friday night. Till today I still dey expect my refund that one don lost this was Feb/March, 2021.

Finally got a Corolla 2007/08 for 26k weekly... After 2 months of steady deliveries owner partner who stays in Ojo called that he needed car to travel and will call after a week. I already know these languages. As I type this message guy man is now a uber driver that's according to what his friend said though I din not know. I still spent money in this car as well too.

Enough is enough, man can't continue like this, I'd to do something. Thank God I nevsr left my farm behind and to the glory of God something good came through.

Now I'm a car owner again and a better one at that.

Glory be to God Almighty. Hallelujah!





I hope somebody who is ready this got something out of this episode of my chronicle... Never give up on your dreams and above all be good at all times, keep hands clean and work hard one day for sure success is inevitable.

Good luck guys.

Specially thanks to radautoworks, kodred, shollywendy, dru23 (I learnt a lot for you even though our partnership was a regrettable one, but it doesn't stop me from patronising or recommending clients to you, I've always done), Pop191, izzuo, Chillex8, so many other guys I can't remember to mention you all are great guys.

I love you all

What you seem not to understand is your starting point matters.
Someone starting from chevron can put on his app anytime and get enough requests but you seem to start from a slow area.
My area is a slow area, so more reasons to leave there early and set destination to the island (I mostly use castle avenue). Only on bad days I get to the island by 9AM.
Also learn to select trips and that can't be done in a slow area, so more reasons to start early and head towards busy areas.

Please i have a question regarding Bolt drivers because i am so fed up with them.

- Why would a driver accept a request & switch off their phone.

- Some will accept your request and set "Driver has arrived" and then refuse to pick their calls or respond.

WHY? WHY?

I mean if a driver isn't going my way, all he needs is for him/her to tell me and I will cancel.

Is Bolt forcing drivers to accept rides or what?

BAZ001:


1 week on the job ? You doing well ooing.
Hope you no resign job to come dis hustle.

Because of 1M ( I wake up 5am - 11am serious work, 12pm - 4pm light work , 4pm - 11pm die hard work)
But without 1million target.
Start work 8am play play and close after 10 trips or 20k no more driving till next day.

I wake up inside surge on the mainland and try to get trips to surge areas lekki phase 2 and from island surge I try to get a long trip to airport or anywhere on mainland, so I’m driving against traffic and on surge. Then I begin to do anywhere belle face, up and Dan like headless chicken.

1. Make sure you pray for favor and protection ( prayer is key ) sweet rides/ riders on surge with tips and good ratings and no Lastma/evil men
2. If you don’t live in surge areas, wake up early and set destination to Surulere/yaba or Ojodu Berger or lekki phase 2. ( I can’t drive without surge, too lazy to injure myself and low mileage Camry )
3. When in surge areas begin to look out for trips on opposite direction.
4. Avoid Lastma and task force they can demoralize you and collect your hard earn money in few seconds.
4. Don’t follow every motivation and dashboards here some of them have been driving for more than 3years. ( even me still dey learn, 1yr plus)

Better to join ants league feeder team if you have the credentials, you will learn fast. But to join them Na like secret cult

Good luck

Make this area your playground

Pearl1910:


You too, if u call and number is switched off, or him no pick, cancel sharp sharp and request again. That shouldn't border u...there are many drivers out there.

truthsayer009:


You have not answered my question but to just deflect and tell me to deal with it.

I am trying to understand what exactly is the reason.

This is happening too many times that is why I am bothered and fed up. If you are in an area, Bolt keeps giving you the same set of people who accepts and doesn't respond. It leaves the rider in a state of confusion.

I will start reporting drivers if that is case. I rest my case.

Me self shock at the bolded what was that conner44 trying to say ?

Semi educated, black African migrant ?

Educated = literate ( I know )
Uneducated = illiterate ( I know )
But semi educated ( beats my imagination)

Worst is black African migrants, do we have white African migrant.

With due respect and I’m going in peace jejely

Pearl1910:


If he picks and tells u he isn't going hasn't he wasted ur time and airtime?
If number is switched off or he isn't picking that's enough message that he isnt ready.

Just keep requesting till u find d one that will pick ur call or accept to go your way.

Your reporting will not do anything.

To answer your question, sometimes or some drivers are compelled to be online and pick all trips even when they aren't ready to drive or don't want to go to a particular area. But I am sure if u continue to cancel and request again they will go offline for a moment so u can get someone else. That's if they aren't deliberately making u suffer because of what u did to them. Just spreading possible scenarios that these things happen.

truthsayer009:

Since I am the one calling the driver, if i don't have airtime to use, will i be calling the driver? Why are they trying to save my airtime instead of proper communication.

A proper communication is always better. "Ah, OGA i no dey go that side, traffic too much" and tell me to cancel.

Also i don't have any bad record with Bolt as a rider, not a single one of them.

chillex8:

Riders destination is displayed on the request page, so drivers(Bolt and indriver) should accept only if they are willing to complete the trip.

Uber drivers on the other hand are blind to riders detsination. They are the ones i pity most.

P.S What destinations do you normally frequent? E get why....

Also, there are more armed robbers and killers as riders on bolt than any other app.

Then, avoid 5.0 rated riders at night.
Personally, i don't even pick 5.0 rated riders in the daytime no matter the surge multiplier.

You sound like dem jazebel riders from
1 reporting drivers
2. No bad records with bolt but probably bad records with drivers. The day I told a lady dt I was almost not going on the trip cos of bad ratings she was shocked that drivers do rate too.

I’m interested in your ratings ?
Can you please tell us your ratings to support your bragging?

In our quest to hit 1M we avoid bad riders from their ratings
