Evolutionism:
The affected E-Hailing drivers should go and join Politics, Oil Bunkery, Scamming, Yahoo Ritualists, Robbery, 419, Drug Trafficking, Human Trafficking, Olosho Business and Pimping.

These Businesses are what sells most in a useless nation like nigeria.

A very useless nation where 90% Of Its Population are Primitive Bvstards.

Your last paragraph 😅😅
So sad, if you can't win them, you join them.

But it was profitable all the while before Tinubu scattered everything. Bolt is mostly taken for convenience but with a tough economy like ours everybody is cutting cost. Consequently, patronage of bolt has reduced. For instance, many car owners no longer drive their personal car to work but use public transport. Many people who usually run generator to power their homes have either reduced and even stopped for a long while Fact check my claims

U are more than correct.
At the end of November will make the Tinubu administration 6 months.
Let's pile up the statistics and give them their results.
But from the preliminary mock results,the report card is almost totally written in red ink.

Wat abt madam put food biz?

Revolution2022:
Currently,no business is profitable.

See what APC and Tinubu has caused... nawaoooo 🙄

Renewed hope to renewed shege 🙄

What do you expect when you vote an old man into power

Aonkuuse:
The only thing now is having your own car for bolt or Uber, hiring out is not profitable now at all... But transport business actually has no much gain now

..it's a pity....this government has destroyed the economy

Serves them right

You guys overcharge for a taxi hailing service.

Nigerians miss Peter obi... Peter obi would had known what to do to make the economy and country to be good and better

APC since 2015 just destroying the economy and country..it was not bad like this during the PDP administration

Racoon:
So sad and sympathetic.

..but it was not too bad like this during PDP administration, time.....why can't APC address all this problems

Was it Tinubu that removed the subsidy? There was no provision for subsidy in 2023 budget effective July 2023 as prepared by Buhari. Tinubu only announced it that subsidy is gone. The economy is biting hard, price of commodities are going up, the govt should do a quick one on transportation to alleviate the suffering of the people. Every State govts should have rolled out buses that will charge insignificant amount to help the populace but our leaders are self centered and don't care at all.

There is no subsidy in the budget, where did he get the funds to return subsidy and keep price constant over the past months?

He made a big policy mistake and attempted a policy somersault to correct the impact, but the damage is largely done.

My concern is,is this the bottom ?
With the stories of woe all over,can we survive if
- There is a further increase in the pump price
- If the discos significantly increase their tariffs ( there is a current subsidy in that sector )
- If dollar nosedives to 1500 by December as some claim

Won't there be mass upheavals ? won't crime skyrocket ? Won't Nigeria become impossible to live in ?
Truth be told,I think the current stability is artificial and the tension on the strings holding it in place is about to make it break.

this country is finished .....dem don vote thembrother enter now abi now we all de suffer is that what a normal human should do...you africans are wicked....you see dem today in churches and mosques disturbing God......demonic hearted africans

The worse thing is that people wouldn't troop violently on the street to protest because if it happens in Osun or Ogun or Lagos state, one Omoluabi would protest that they want to bring their brother in Aso Rock down. This is what happened for 8 years of Buhari's rule, incompetence and insecurity and yet not even one single state in the North was it mentioned there was an upheaval. Nigeria is one caged unworkable entity and it is only when the hunger is rampant and imminent, unbearable to the Holocaust level that would men troop to the street; irrespective of religious, party or ethnic affiliation to demand a dismantling of this animals at the helm. The suffering is too much and everybody is quiet

You just said nothing but the truth!!

carreport:
Sad
But the truth us that most bolt drivers pocket the proceeds from the business and tell the car owner long long stories every day.


If u own ur own car and use it for bolt u will not sell it.

Aptly said!!

Imagine...just close your eyes and imagine that the President from 2015 down till now were from either the South East or South South...they would have used protests, blackmailing and propaganda to destroy the person like they did to GEJ.

But since it is them Core North and South West who claim to be the holders of Nigeria were there... everywhere is quiet.

Imagine a country where a South Easterner of South Southerner is in charge of affairs...it would be paradise. Goodluck Jonathan is a pure case study!

Fulanis, Hausas and Yorubas have proven that they are unfit to lead a nation!!

Who campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015? Peter Obi?

Which business can someone venture into this days, even japa, is not easy now because of the high Rate of the dollar 💵. The bills keep getting higher and coming.

AareGaa:


It depends on the type of car you ride.
If you acquire a car with small engine , you have no problem.

Most of the people telling stories here don't even own a car.

Keep quiet bro.
200/ liter to 640 /liter is a whole lot and will be felt by everyone. Small engine or not.

Torimaster:
The prices charged by these online cab companies is not in tune with economic realities... It doesn't come at a surprise... Compare their prices with airport cabs & u will see why the business is no longer profitable to them

You understand the dynamics

With DSS silence and doing absolutely nothing after the sheik made that extremely toxic divisive statements expect more devaluation to N2000 to $1

The man is frail, his regime is not willing to improve the situation at all. All of them don't care at all as if they don't have relatives in same country

AareGaa:


It's not subsidy removal that is the problem, it's the high commission being collected by greedy Uber/bolt.

Okada riders/ Keke riders/ commercial bus drivers are making money daily.

your stupidity is amazing, bro.

Who told you what he did was a Mistake lol. Too many DUMB beings in Shiiithole.

People that have the Next 30Years Blueprint of their Plans at hand already, Courtesy of the Western World.

Have you ever spent money on maintaining a car? You have any idea how much car maintenance costs? Sold two of my cars meant for this, even when the car is idling away doing nothing it still develops fault. How much is a rider paying sef, rider wet no fit pay for damaging the car door handle of car.

If u own ur own car and use it for bolt u will not sell it.

Your statement hold no water. IF U own a car that's above 2.4lts Engine you won't say this.

Every Nigerian want to be a millionaire. Not everyone in the US are millionaires, at time just enjoy being modest, there's joy in contentment.

I swr the hardship is really something else

DARLINGTON869:
E no easy na. How you go buy fuel almost 600 naira/litre only for bolt to collect almost 30 percent commission from small money wey rider pay you to drive am very far distance. Car maintenance go chop him own money, feeding dey there too. Aside that self, even hire purchase plans no dey work again. How I go buy Corolla for almost 4 million then I go come give am out on hire purchase. Shey na 8 million naira the driver go fit pay back?

well said. Corolla is na 4m, things is really getting out of hand

I paid 6k5 from island marina to shomolu while the app showed 5.4 the bloke kept surge surge surge and tell you what, while we were on the move, there wasn't even a single traffic our way going.

And yes, i do have a car which i use to travel to and fro to do field work.'


Uber/Bolt is not scalable to use as a full time job a side hustle gig work is good.
