[color=royalblue]So sorry bro

I'm just seeing this. God will heal her.

I don't have 100k oh. But is it possible that we bill ourselves to achieve this?

Maybe 20 people bring 5k
Or 100 people bring 1k(I don't think we are up to 100 here)

Can we do this, everyone? , Please..[/color]

Yes, let’s do this.

I start to use iPhone 6s today for bolt..and the experience is not satisfying, I assume maybe there is something I need to set from the settings, cause after like 2minute am not on the app or I minimize the app to check out another app it will go offline itself. I took a client From VI to isheri estate today I want so surprise like 7minute to my destination the app went offline and when I went back online, it was like the ride never happened.... please anyone that is using this type of phone for bolt should let me know if the problem is solve able

What is your phone capacity? 16gb or 32gb? Have you been getting a message of low storage?

You may need to free up your device space. Offload unused apps and restart your phone.

This man would have been a disaster to the Nigerian Army had he not been dismissed.

Now he wants forgiveness...smh!

Well deserved!

Nigeria government has been seeing these boys for years, yet they are not recognized nor sponsored.

How do you know an account has been banned ?

radautoworks:
You did well. We would have billed 3.2 hours with 90 day warranty on the labor. Hope you got your alignment after.

Yes ma.

radautoworks:
Ah, I see the misunderstanding. The hours is not based on how long we actually take. It's on how long the job should take an average competent technician. So if the industry standard is 3 hours and for some reason we take 10, you only pay for 3. Time to get parts etc is not charged to customer. For example, give me year and model for your car and I'll tell you how long it should take to do the steering rack.

Oh okay. Now I understand your pricing better.
2004 Honda Accord

radautoworks:
But... But... Our service charge is low. It's the parts some people find high but that's because they are original and we don't mind people bringing their own parts!

Please don’t get me wrong ma. Some people are used to the Kazeem way and may find it a bit hard to pay 5k per hour. Let’s say a repair will take upto 3/4 hours that’s 15-20k on service charge alone.

The last time I was at Oyingbo to fix steering rack and some other stuffs, the guy started working on my car around 9am, he finished around 3pm, that’s about 6hours, I only paid 8k for workmanship.

Good thing about your place is that it won’t take that long to have everything I did there done. You have enough hands and power tools to make the job easy. Might not even be upto two hours if all the parts are readily available.

sportFX:
Service charge is very affordable.

Affordable is relative

waks1:
Pls any contact of transmission experts that can diagnose tranny correctly with scanner will be appreciated.

RadAutoworks... You can visit them for diagnosis and go fix somewhere else if you can’t afford their service charge (no offense pls).

Diagnosis is less than 3k

mabeni:
yes. It's one of the oil seals of the belt pullies

Better! As for your transmission, some symptoms don’t manifest when the tranny is still cold or yet to reach its optimum operating temperature.

If you experience same symptoms again today after extensive driving, know that it’s time for you to visit a transmission expert for proper diagnosis.
Meanwhile run away from that mechanic that told you to use HOLTS in your tranny.

Gracias

mabeni:
I started the car this morning but to my amazement, it drove as if nothing happened yesterday.

Why driving home yesterday night switching from DRIVE to gear 2, the belt got damaged and cut into piece but I managed to drive it home from 3rd mainland bridge. I replaced the belt this morning but noticed engine oil is seriously leaking from around the pully holding the belt.

Changed the belt and the car drove smoothly.

Did you find the cause of the oil leak? Or you just replaced belt and ignored the leakage?

mabeni:
holtz. My mechanic suggested it.

Wrong oil

mabeni:
i just changed it on last week Monday.

Which oil did you use?

*THE OUTCOME OF MEETING HELD AT THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION (MOT) CONFERENCE ROOM ON 6Th OF AUGUST 2020*

*THEME: REGULATIVE GUIDELINES ON THE OPERATION OF RIDE SHARING APPLICATION AND THEIR OPERATORS IN LAGOS STATE.*

*In Attendance Was Proffesional E-hailing Drivers and Private-owners Association (PEDPA)Representatives,Mykab (Reps), Ekocab, Amrol and some drivers representatives.*

*The meeting Starts officially around 2:20pm, Opened by the P.S MOT*

*He said the Basic Reason for this Meeting is to Officially Notify the General Community of e-hailling drivers in Lagos State of the Government readiness to enforce Operation Modalities any time from Now.*

*First and foremost, all App companies has been mandated to obtain their Operational License immediately.*

*As soon as the payment is made, verification will commence and thereafter a Certificate will be issued to them, while their App will be Linked with the Government API for proper monitoring of all transactions and revenue generation.*

*The PS stated that Once Enforcement starts, Any App company that did not comply with the Lagos state regulations will be shutdown Technologically and thereafter physical road arrest of their drivers will commence.*

*Moving forward, the SA strongly advised drivers to assume full responsibility in ensuring that they scrutinize the App company to ensure they have fully complied with the regulations of Lagos State before signing up to do business with them. He further said any App company that has done the needful should give their drivers a Tag which will be provided by the government based on the number of their drivers on government API.*

*_Question: Concerning the 10% commission that will be charged by the government, will this not add to the suffering the e-hailing drivers are already going through?_*

*Answer: The government official detailed the explanation. He said the government will charge 10% commission NOT from drivers, but from whatever commission the App companies is charging their operators (Drivers). For instance;*

*If a trip is #1000 and the App Company charges 20% on it, that mean the App company has taken #200 as their commission on that trip! The government will then charge the App company 10% out of that #200 commission. That means the government's commission will be #20.*

*_Question: Why will the government charge the App Companies commission?_*

*Answer: The government has put in place an enabling environment for the App companies and their operators to carry out their businesses. Such amenities includes:*

*1. Good road system*
*2. Street lights*
*3. Safety and security*
*4. Emergency services.*

*The government representative further stated that if the App companies can charge their operators 20% from their earnings, then the government is justify to charge the App companies too for making use of government infrastructural amenities in the state.*

*_Question: What can be done since the giant App companies are absent in the meeting?_*

*Answer:* *The government stated emphatically that there is no Giants or small players here, everyone is Equal and will be treated the same. Everything is starting afresh he stated.*

*_Question: Does these meetings affects the E-hailing Bus sector?_*

*Answer:* *No, we are talking about Car hire online Taxi service.*

*Senior Adviser to Governor Sanwolu on transportation matter. Arrived!*

*He was briefed on what has being discussed so far and he took over chairmanship of the meeting.*


*He said he is not surprised that the so called giant App Companies (UberBolt) are not in attendance, because they have never seen the government as a serious entity in the Past. Frantically speaking, the government is now ready for Full Enforcement. And the government is not going to be at their mercy. He also warned the Director of VIO not to circumvent the enforcement.*

*_Question: Can the government not find a means to shutdown the defaulting App companies instead of using physical enforcement on the Operators (Drivers)?_*

*Answer:* *Drivers should stop enslaving themselves under Uber and Bolt. Because for government to recognize any App in the State from now on, such App should be able to submit their Drivers(Operators) details to the government, and as we speak, Uberbolt has not done these! Meaning that they are not yet recognized. The government will use both technology and physical Enforcement on any violators of these Guidelines.*

*The President of PEDPA, Comrade Idris Shonuga Oluwaseun commented saying he frown strongly at the way some government officials addressing Uberbolt as a big player, when in actual sense the so called Uberbolt have taken the industry to 17 years of straight backwardness. Comrade Idris Shonuga Oluwaseun further emphasized that as a result of Uberbolt inability to comply with government REGULATIVE guidelines, that led the Vehichle Inspection Officers (VIO) to be empounding the cars of e-hailing drivers before PEDPA stepped in to address the issue!*

*Speaking further, Comrade Idris emphasized and demand to know what the government plan to do about price regulation, which has led the industry into backward position. He further stated that the regulations should not only be centred around revenue collection, but also putting adequate mechanism in place to ensure satefy and security as well as moving the industry forward from the present backward position*

*He further elaborated on irregularities of these App companies and recommended that the government put adequate measures in place to protect the interest of the OPERATORS, who are NIGERIANS youths that has choosing driving as a means of sustainance, due to high unemployment rate in the country. Most importantly, the E-hailing drivers partners have United under the umbrella body of PEDPA and we Have MYKAB as our TECHNOLOGICAL TOOL to restore the glory of E-hailing industry*

*Buttressing on that, the SA, Strongly Advise the E-hailing Drivers should fall under one umbrella Body, for us to be strong enough to protect the interest our services on any E-HAILING platfroms. He also lay emphasis on appropriate profiling of E-hailing operators to ensure adequate security measures in the state*


*Mention was made about how many association in existence at the moment. PEDPA was then INTRODUCED as a National Association*

*An Observation was raised by Mykab representative. He refuted the the public illusion about the so called supper powers, saying that we Indigenous can also do better than them if we cooperate with ourselves*

*He also ask the government REPRESENTATIVES on what are they giving back to the App companies that will comply with these Regulations guidelines.*

*The SA responded by saying that the Government will definitely give back to any App company that comply with the Lagos state government regulations business sustainability, enabling environment and friendly government policies for the business to thrive. Expanciating on the need for App Company to carry their Drivers along through their Union before starting their Operations.*

*Speaking further he said, drivers should endeavors to ask questions from any app companies they intend to render their taxi service. if such companies have really acquired necessary operation license from Lagos State government*

*_Question: Can drivers come directly to the government for all these requirements._*

*Answer: Yes! government will give such driver documents based on what he want to do with his Car, if it's normal taxi, driver will have to paint the car to Lagos State Color, with a Red number Plate, in short everything about the car will be commercialised.*

*Speaking further he said, the Government will not short changed anyone in this regulative process. Anyone using a private car for Commercial purpose is at his own risk except if it has to be through the App Company.*

*The meeting was brought to a close by the SA in the Absence of further questions!*

*Thank you All.*

Nothing they here again...

harken0504:
Guys pls...I want to get a car of my own for this business and don't really have much.......so between
1. Honda civic 2009
2. Hyundai Elantra 2008
3. Kia cerato 2009...
Which one will you guys recommend amongst the 3 and they are all NAIJA USED, but still engine solid

All the listed cars are suitable for the job. Any one you decide to go for, ensure you get a good unit, if you have to pay a professional for PPI do not hesitate to.

My top pick will be the Civic.

ndubuis:
Lol. I try to avoid picking stuffs to deliver for riders as much as possible. It comes with issues quite often. Some would want the recipient of the item to pay for the trip, recipient may start contesting it, some will say the fare is too high that you branched somewhere else, some foolish ones will not even come to the car to pick it expecting you to bring it to their houses, I can't even touch a riders item let alone taking it to a house, so many confusion.

I rejected three delivery requests this week already. They won't tell you it's delivery and explain properly until you get to pick up, I will just cancel and leave. I no want that kind wahala.

I can only accept to deliver packages on rare occasions depending on the situation, item and rider's manner of approach with detailed explanation. That is, with abeg because I'm not a delivery man. Also, it must be a card trip and I won't touch the package, you drop it in the car, the recipient will come and pick it from the car.

Few days before Sallah, I did a delivery (diffuser) from Alpha beach road to the last estate on Chevron drive, I asked sender who is paying, she said the receiver.
Got to destination, asked receiver to pay before I hand over the package. Guy said “shey you they whine me ni”... I told him to sort himself out with the sender because I’m not going to drop the package unless I get my money.

The babe later did transferred, meanwhile the guy was already shouting, saying all sorts of words. I remained in my car with doors locked while refreshing my bank app, when I confirmed payment..rolled down the glass and gave him his property before I waka.

toomush:
Nah body dey hear am...I have not really driven this week, body don weak.

No lie. I’ve been feeling really down these days. Can’t even sit for long without my Butt paining me. What has been saving me is the heated seat in my car, it helps massage my back and butt.

Bolt decided to block me again for one week on Thursday for passenger not showing up. I go just lock up make I use the period rest. Fortunately for me, while I was going home that Thursday evening thinking of how to survive the one week of been idle, I got a call from one girl I picked earlier from Novare mall to Diamond estate. She wanted me to take her to the Airport on Friday morning around 5, we agreed on 6k. Immediately after that call, my friend from Abk called me for a car delivery to Abeokuta.

I they Abk like this they relax.

ndubuis:
A request on Awolowo Road today, called rider:
Me: Got your request, where are you going to please?
Rider: I want you to help me pick up an item from 88 Awolowo Road and bring it to 90 Awolowo Road.
Me: what is the item please? (*asked out of curiosity, thinking this must be crazy*)
Rider: Toys
Me: Toys from number 88 to 90?
Rider: Just go there and call when you get there.
Me: Sorry I pick people not items.
Rider: This is unthinkable and ridiculous!! (Screaming like she was crying)
Me: Bye b**ch

Putting this scenario into perspective. God bless BOLT for this feature sha. Me I no they accept them.

Meanwhile, on Sallah day, at the COB I set destination to Sangotedo, I was on Buordillon road, all the request coming in was from Admiralty area meaning I have to go through the bridge (Ikoyi toll gate) to get them. I would tell them where I am and my terms for coming (they have to add my toll gate fare to the total fare). They all declined asides from one old woman.

I called the number on the app, the lady said she ordered for her Mom, okay, She sent the woman phone number and I got to know that it’s a delivery. Okay now.

I got to the pick up, they packed jollof rice and plenty chicken for to deliver to Lekki County homes. I collected the package, started trip and proceeded to destination.
Note: I didn’t call the old woman I’m delivering to since she already gave me instructions before leaving Ikoyi.

The real drama...

The moment I hit Lekki-Epe Exp the woman called,
Madam: Hello where are you?
Me: I am already on my way to your place, I just got to the express from Admiralty way.
Madam: What do you mean? You mean you have taken the package without taking pictures of it and sending to me before leaving the place?
Me: I don’t understand you ma.
Madam: You are supposed to take pictures, send to me so I can confirm before you leave there.
Me: Oh really,
Madam: Yes, I’ve been using Taxify for years and they all do this
Me: I’m sorry ma, I am not a delivery driver , I’m doing this trip because it’s along my destination. I will call you when I’m approaching your estate.

Drops call sharp sharp

Blackbishop:
House person dey claim say civic 2002 will pass bolt inspection? How true is this

2002 - 2005 Civic has same look.. fill it in as 2003.

1daboi:
I noticed that immediately I hit 100km/hr, my steering starts vibrating. What could be the cause bosses?

A lot of things can cause the vibration.

Wheel balancing
Defective disks
Weak Balljoint/tie rod
Bad tires...

When last did you do tire rotation?

Vision2045:
Talking about loud...

Let me share a very funny experience I had today.

I picked those 2 guys at prime-water Garden lekki destination was to a bank inside lekki then to ajah and back to prime water .

While they entered one of the guy was mixing a substance inside a Miranda bottle (I later discovered the said substance was "MD" as the guys called it so).

They sha was sipping the mixture while I drive them from point A to B and C...while heading back to prime water from Ajah..the guys request I put on AC..I obliged before we got to the free tollgate same guys asked I put it off.... They were just stretching up and down inside the car (MD at work I guess)...

Then their gist started becoming headless....even revealing their fraudulent activities without minding me as a 3rd party.

The real drama...

one of the guys while approaching freedom way said he is in a savage mode and if he handle anyone he will beat the person mercilessly, to which the other guy verbally approved....for my mind I just they reason make I sha drop this guys make them carry their wahala go.

The one sitting at the front all of a sudden start whistling at people and show them the waka sign...and if anyone waka back, he will say stop stop.... I sha central lock...while I was about entering prime water..this mad guy repeated same thing....and the guy at the end said "e b like say u dey craze" na him this guy just open door go meet the guy o....before I know the one at the back joined him...

I sha reverse to know what was happening ...getting to the scene my riders dey ground with blood coming from mouth and eyes o...

The security called the Tennant housing them...them sha settle the matter I collect my money waka

I don laugh scatter for here

Person say he need car, say he’s tired of staying idle, offer they ground for Honda but he they find ‘yota

eyinola:
haaahaaaaaa body need am oooo, me sef just they fix my car ard opebi now after am done here na home straight.

Crvrider:

Manage the car there. You just have to deal with the annoying sound when you take turns, nothing else.
