Tinubu is receiving 3million and his salary has been increased by 8m naira by the RMAFC.Excluding jumbo allowances and corrupt money that runs into trillions.The nass members are receiving 2million naira each as salary and 23million as allowances.They are telling the unemployed youth and 30k minimum earners to make sacrifices over their bad policy.Their advices are senseless.

I BELIEVE ONE CAN STILL MAKE A DECENT LIVING OF IT DESPITE THE FUEL HIKE. IM AWARE BOLT /UBER HAVE ALSO INCREASED PRICES FOR RIDES.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE (NIGERIANS) ARE TOO GREEDY , ALWAYS WANTING A 200% GAIN IN EVERYTHING WE DO.

IMAGINE BOOKING A RIDE AND THE DRIVER WILL TELL YOU HE WANTS TO CANCEL THE RIDE SO HE CAN GO OFFLINE ON THE TRIP. HOW WILL THE BUSINESS SURVIVE. IMAGINE U ARE THR OWNER OF THE BUSINESS AND U ARE BEEN RIPPED OFF THAT WAY.

YOU WONT HEAR THE DRIVERS SAY THIS, BUT THEY ONLY COME HERE AND COMPLAIN.

THERE IS SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH NIGERIANS.
the drivers who owns the car and maintein them are the monkey while the driving app owners are the baboon by charging high commission.

YOU SEE WHY YOU CANNOT SUCCEED, YOU CANNOT EVEN HOLD A CONVERSATION WITHOUT RUDENESS. THAT'S EVIDENCE OF YOU BEING BRAINLESS. IF YOU CANT COPE YOU QUIT NO ONE FORCED YOU. STOP SPOILING BUSINESS FOR THE COMPANY, THEY TOO ARE IN BUSINESS FOR PROFIT. EVEN IF THEY GIVE YOUR RATES t 1% YOU WILL STILL COMPLAIN AND WANT TO RIP THEM OFF.

I KNOW YOU ARE NOT AWARE THEY PAY HUGE TAXES TO THE GOVERNMENT.

TAKE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS TO YOUR GOVERNMENT AND NOT TO BUSINESS OWNERS. IF YOU HAD ANY BRAIN IN YOUR SKULL YOU WUD HV DEVELOPED YOUR OWN HAILING APP BY NOW, INSTEAD YOU SMOKED, DRANK & WOMANISED YOUR LIFE AWAY IN THE NAME OF BIG BOY.

Anyway my advice to business minded Nigerians is that there is going to be a gas revolution very soon. If you are wise get prepared to make money. How many of you watched the program on NTA yesterday morning which ended around 9 a.m.

A very interesting and informative program. CONVERSION OF VEHICLES TO AUTOGAS (Part2). There is going to be a part 3 and more for further enlightenment.

Dr. Ibrahim Muhammad, the chairman National Gas Expansion Program, an invited guest along with other guest
dished out so many information, even on how if tendency which may arise from supply of gas not being able to meet the rising demands which may result to increase in price. He did talked about measures that will make gas constantly available.

Let me give everyone of us an insight. Try to start watching NTA if you want to know where this government is heading to.

There will be a GAS REVOLUTION very soon which will be very, very, very beneficial to all.

Moreover the caburators are dual, can use both petrol and gas, gas and disel. So that you can alternate their use to fit your what may be advantageous to you at any given instance.

Mr Revolution! Does the conversion u are hammering on come free?
For your information the average cost of conversion is 500k!

Exactly what happened today, I ordered bolt and the trip was for 2100, the next thing the driver said it's 2500, and I asked him what's on the app he said they don't charge with the app, so i asked him why are you on the platform. I quickly told him to forget about the trip.
Most of them come online get the passenger then want to negotiate fare offline. Using someone 's app to earn a living and sidling the Business owner.

The trip was supposed to be 2,100 right... If you check well, the trip is not less than 15km. The driver must have driven 5km to pick up... Making an estimated total of 20km...

Average car uses 1ltr every 7 kilometers meaning your journey will consume average 3ltrs...

Fuel at 620x3=1,860 apprx (1,900)

Bolt will deduct 500 from the 2,100 leaving him with 1,600... Meaning he would be using some of his money to transport you to where you are going ...

If he ask for offline and 2,500 means he wants to sideline e-hailing platform to break even...

E-hailing platform knows but turn a blind eye to pilots plight... So pilots have learnt to pay back in similar coin... It becomes a do me, I do you thing ..

This is for those still managing to run the biz, most have abandoned e-hailing...

As for you, if you can't afford the comfort u seek, just adjust to Keke or molue... Stop the forming...

Don't be on the side of the e-hailing cos it suites or pays you to exploit the pilots not minding if he his able to fuel or break even...

If only you watched the program you would have understood better. Anybody who does a conversion for you at the price succeeded in milking you. The average is between 150k to 250k. Very simple straight forward technology. I wish you watched the program. There will be a part three.

Please do and the first part too. Very informative. Thank you. As well, refilling too was broken down by Dr. Ibrahim Muhammad who made it clear how so easy it is/will be to get your car refilled. Lastly it is if you choose to use LNG to power your vehicle that is when you will need some extra cash because it requires additional facilities such as gasket but last longer than CNG.

Finding it hard to book a ride self. No much drivers despite the long waiting time.

Bolt should do upward review the fares so we can get enough of them on the roads

If they do upward review, how many people will be able to pay ?
A far that used to be N1,000 can now be N3k. WHo will pay ?
This increment will affect the middle class and the poor. I doubt if there's any middle class again.

I even stopped using the bolt platform. The astronomical rise in fares is not something my resources can accommodate.

And most of the riders who have been using vehicles belonging to other people, have since returned said vehicles and sought other means of livelihood.

I had numbers of two very cool bolt drivers. Last time I called them, niggas have returned their vehicles to the respective owners. The other one is even running a POS business now.
.

It's sad. DOing business in Nigeria is difficult. I have to congratulate the business men and women in this country.
