Abi oooh.
Everybody should just maintain their champion abeg.
I just hope they would let the matter die like that, make motivations dey flow and encourage and educate us on how to run the hustle profitably.
Much respect, boss.

Hehehe dey play.
Look at it this way;
Someone was motivated by dashboards and resigned from his job, remember he wasn’t told the challenges involved, only the earnings.
There was someone that was advised to drop his 80k job which is very understandable wasn’t enough but letting people know the challenge involved is very important. He started having challenges within weeks up to the moment he regretted leaving his 80k job- this happened right on this thread. But the people that advised him left him to his fate.

Making it look as if it’s a bed of roses is wrong and those who complain that the job is not ok for them aren’t wrong. Different people with what they desire.
I wasn’t a lazy person when driving but the income didn’t equate the effort exacted on it. So you should expect someone like me to complain.

Please bosses, how does ICM gate ticket really work? One time like that, I spent 5 minutes at the parking lot and they charged me 200. The other time, I spent more than 5 minutes, it was free. Abeg I'm confused

It's a flat fee during weekends and public holidays while first one hour other days is N200.

Gentlelife50:
You never see anything, shey you were the one deceiving us here and we didn't take the job serious thinking you were with us only to use ehailing money to Japa.

Hard I know always come at last, I should have listened to pearl and cheerful, pope add more fire don't pity him, let him suffocate.
Shey I should bring the gala and bigi now or is it eggs you want? For more power.

it's the cruise here that makes me check this thread.
I could remember those time when my wife would see me smiling while holding my phone, she would know it can't be more than this thread.

BAZ001:
God bless you baba…
They will still ask you how did you do it, come and narrate everything here.

Na d same nairaland travel section I take get more info too.

CONGRATULATIONS… you go just fresh and fat up in 2months just watch

Fat up keh? That means I want to injure myself health-wise if I try that when considering my age.
Staying healthy is very important.

pope191:
Hmmm, it is well. Dec 2021, you don leave us long time ago. Did you take the IELTS exams?

Certainly, you need to have a language test done and evaluate your education.

pope191:
Ha! How many drivers come remain like this? just for jokes. Congratulations boss.

As much as I don't know the fund used in processing this, I'll still hit on the needless argument here. The hustle obviously won't be the best thing for a man, but for a starting? Yes! One can make something out of it. The hustle will make you appreciate life, efforts and money. There's nothing I dislike than when I see young able person say he doesn't have what to do. This hustle don't demand much than focus.

Congratulations boss. Hope the ones out there like you won't stop to give the ones seeking for such tips on how to go about it.

Best of all again.

I wanted to write a long epistle as a reply, but in summary, the driving did not contribute a dime except to make living worse. Moreover, I have stopped driving since Dec 2021.

vivalavida:
Congratulations bro

northbird:
Congratulations...

Pearl1910:
Congratulations...

Thank you

Viewing from a lovely place this wonderful cold morning. My family and I are here as PRs which was accomplished without the help of an agent, the travel section has all needed to get it done.

dapotemi:
But one thing is not right, the insult, curse, using obscene language against people you don't know, whom you may never see, is absurd..Pls, let's end it, it drives normal people away from here, leaving only lunatic...Don't be the last man standing in a psychiatric ward!

These feel weird to me, and I don't understand how convenient it is to be done.

Pearl1910:
Readadream, to clear any doubt I was lucky to just capture my fuel gauge at exactly half tank and I have made 61k on App since fill up.
This is excluding extra charges.

Your commission is 22% from this dashboard.
How come people have been saying its 25%, or Bolt charges lesser for certain people?

IFSHR:
UK student route has a high success rate compared to Canada....I can easily migrate from the UK to Canada, than Nigeria to Canada....

Ok.

Hope you know your COR doesn't have any effect on migrating to Canada.

Itsrm:
Getting student visa in Canada is not as straightforward as the UK. Many get denied. Plus you have to go for a two year course to make it easier to stay behind after study. It's not cheap.

Also, I hear it's extremely difficult to get any kind of job in Canada these days. People stay as long as 6 months without any job whatsoever

I know that the rejection rate is high but there are lots of testimonies on the study thread.
All you said are true but I would rather choose Canada over UK - that is me.

IFSHR:
Student route

School fee (3000 pounds ) 1.8m (through formA)
Ihs and visa (me and wife) 2.2m
POF (proof of fund). 800k


Flight for 2. 640k
Rent for 2 month ( 800 pounds) 720k

Wife is working .....
I am schooling and working 20hrs in a week.

DIY from A-Z ....And I learnt all on Nairaland...UK student section.

Not all rosy at the beginning...but we are settling in and it's better than when we first came In.

Congrats man! But why didn't you go to Canada through study visa if at all going through express entry is not possible? Pathway to PR through Canada study visa seems easier and clear.

That 720k for 2 months rent is far cheaper compared to Canada. Housing is not smiling over there.
Congrats 🎉

Pearl1910:
Did I say there is sense in it?

I no wan argue o. Abeg.

I am standing on Tinubus mandate like this, I no Sabi when him go say make we sitdon rest.

Abeg add his balls too, we need to stand on that.

Subsidy needs to go but what's most annoying is the same set of people that occupied abuja and lagos that have now clamored for it to be removed.
Even though the economy was never smiling in Nigeria, but removing it in 2012 was a better time not 2023 that inflation has dealt with the whole world and the govt has also decided to add more to the pains felt.

Pearl1910:
Hahahahahahahaha...!! chai!!!
See how u made a public disgrace of yourself?

You were vibrating and making noise meanwhile small mathematics u no Sabi.

Na only 100+100 u Sabi, shior!!!

Being on top doesn't mean one knows it all.
There are many cases where the subordinate knows more than the superior.

Pearl1910:
Lolz...u r schooling him and telling him sorry ontop.
U r a bad guy. So u are not in Lagos too. Cos this ur N511/litre is for people in SE and SS I guess.

I don't have to be abusive before passing a message.

My location will be known soon.

TheModerator:
I have always known 100+100 to be 200 bro. But I can't tell the branch of maths you have decided to use. . I only know the basics.

NB: we can have a debate bro and I'm open to correction. No b me sabi pass unlike that creten called cheerfulgiver

Initial price is 188
50 % increment will 188 + 94 (50% of initial price) = 282
100% increment will be 188 + 188 (100% of initial price) = 376
150% increment will be 188 + (188+94) = 470

TheModerator:
You see why you are foolish? Fuel was increased by 163percent? If you went to school, you wouldn't have been driving kabu kabu since 2016 and bragging about it as your chosen career. It also show the dumb nature of this thread. Typical kabu kabu mentality that none can correct you.

You actually believe that the fuel increase will work in your favour, how dumb a way of thinking. Ewu empanu

Sorry for quoting you as I'm not involved in you guys buohara.
But this is the correct calculation.

GeneralZodd:
Japa is the only good option now. This government is hell bent in making the masses poor, so that they can control them

It has always been the best option even though the grass may not be greener than it seems.

Anyone that has the means should start thinking about Japa.

northbird:
You mentioned gazzuzz in the other thread. Gazzuzz himself has come out and advised the guy to drop the idea of investing 7m into ehailing.
Gazzuzz said " he won't even break even."

I am sure he didn’t know gazzuzz already ventured into it but gave himself brain that it’s not worth it at the long run.
If you already have a car and don’t have something meaningful for an income, it’s ok to go into it. At least, body and soul will be kept together.
If not having a source of income at the moment, take up a vehicle on rental. Something will still enter your pocket from there rather than staying idle.

I don’t know about the present income but I know the e hailing coys don’t have the drivers at heart to make them break even. I was surprised when I checked and saw that per kilometer is now N100.

Above all, it shouldn’t be a job to be done for a long period without having an exit plan.

Doris4ever:
My question still remains.
With all you have listed above
Are there no driver on rental or HP remitting 30k - 40k weekly consistently.

I know people still doing well in this business.

Some of the points you listed are not daily or weekly occurrences.

Are you not the same person seeking to get a car from moove?
Seems that option will be the best to inform you how the job is.

GeneralZodd:
You can go ahead and do your thing. Just prepare for the inevitables

Pick who to argue with carefully, he seems not to have much experience on the job.

Barbiturate:
Fine, this is what you should have asked ab initio.

When I got to the luth canteen, I called and the wife picked and said they are coming out. I waited for like 10 mins and they didn't come out, so I called again and she said; "Pls my son, my husband is sick and he needs to eat and take his drugs. They are still attending to us". I entered the canteen and saw that she was 2nd on the queue, that's after calling and ascertaining that she was the one. I walked up to her and told her to do it 'take away', that I can't wait for him to sit here and eat! Time is money! She bought it and they entered the car and she pleaded for him to eat it in my car cos he needed to take the drugs.....I obliged.

I don't go about allowing people eat in my car. There are exceptional cases. That's why I said, we should be considerate. I will not pick any young man or woman and allow him/her start eating amala or any swallow in my car.

Na me get my car.....na wetin I like I go do. To each his own!

This scenario goes against what they call, "be ready before you request for your ride".
They knew he needed to eat and take his drugs, why then request a ride when the food was not bought yet?

Your points were aptly stated. Kudos.

I can't imagine reading how he went about the deal he had with you and still try to have a deal with him.

There are reasons for product/service reviews which you have given.

zee00:
Some Uber/Bolt drivers are actually very stupid and deserve to die in a car crash.


If I wanted to be difficult, I would have insisted he paid for the damage yesterday, because it was clearly his fault.

To all drivers, don't allow your greed be the end of you.

But if you don't value your life, you can go ahead and take unnecessary and pointless risks, all in the name of meeting "target".

You still won't be rich. You will be running circles in poverty. So why the risk?

I hope someone learns from this.

You get mouth walahi, but otherwise was being preached here - best job to ever have as a Nigerian youth as there are no other jobs out there.

Dailyparrot:
How do you handle a rider eating in the car. Some unilag students entered my car and started eating Amala.

At first, I didn't complain even when I wasn't cool with it, not until I started touching soup on my glove box.

I had to change it for the guy eating at the front seat that it was improper to just enter my car and start eating Amala.

That's how they all flared up saying this is the first time a Bolt driver will talk to them like that. I had to shout them down too cause I can't be intimidated by crowd of three people.

The guy at the back tried to apologize for it but the lady beside him told him not to try it. That why would he apologize to me. Women!

Please, where una dey see these drivers that allow and tolerate all nonsenses?

Make it a habit to never allow eating in your car.
I never allowed eating of any form in my car, even snacks were not allowed.

pope191:
You guys came on board when Tojahh don use head clear bush. Drivers have regard and respect unlike before. Barely any driver that will tell you he have not experienced what I post. Before self one is shy to let people know he does e-hailing because the stigma that was attached to it. I don't do offline and my neighbours know I am the wrong person to call needless for trip. Book a ride and go your way, I've learnt not to bring familiarity to my source of livelihood.

You are in the period of riders begging you not to cancel trips and if you are coming. I doubt if you have ever slept for like 4 hours in search of trips. My brother those days weren't funny, sometimes you go back home feeling so dejected i .

Any driver that hasn't experienced those cases should be a part time driver.

Arbbydynasty:
300k plus it is well..

Keep it in mind that 300k is when you make payment through official rate, but that is not possible since you have to source for your cash at black market rate then deposit into your card.
So make use of black market rate henceforth when making conversions.
