How has it been with you?

My experiences hasn't been funny. My first day was great, I made approximately 10k after commission and fuel. On the second day, LASTMA wahala, Google map wahala. As someone that didn't grow up here in lagos and just started driving here, it isn't easy but I have learnt from my mistakes. Now my issue is with the bolt commission of 25%, its too high. Anytime I wish to go offline most riders complain about it. I'll try out indriver their commission is 10% but ride fares are quite cheaper.

I'm surprised. You are the king/legend of this thread. And an inspiration to lots of people that ventured into E-hailing.

U seemed to have done quite well while doing the job since at least 2020. Then today you are back advertising for a driving Job. Is it that you lost most money made back to bolt or you didn't really make much NET-PROFITS?


pls don't be offended with my questions. I don't mean to offend you.

The car I used then was on hire purchase, when I completed the money the car engine was already gone, so I had to hustle get a new engine and starter working again, last year travelling opportunity came forte I decided to try it out sold the car for the processing for now the traveling thing don't seem to work out the only thing I achieved for now is the land I bought while working then


Don't want to stay idle again so I want to resume my work again since I still have my bolt account, although what I would prefer now is private driving work because the E-hailing job have lots of people doing it


I just clocked 28yrs on Thursday last week 13th

I admire your courage.
You have a good reputation and track record already.

It wdnt be hard for you to get another car deal. That car engine has to be gone. I don't think those japanese engines can last 3years of bolt upon ideal servicing. That's the advantage Benz has over them.

All the best!
