Our body system has a way of shutting down and getting rest sha. This morning I was out early, parked at my usual spot for an hour plus, no request. I decided to change location, I tried to start the car and my car key broke. Immobilizer no gree allow car start, after several attempts I managed to start the car and came back home to take the spare key.

I should have just taken the key and bounced out immediately o, I decided to see what’s happening in the TV, wrong move. I slept off there. Na now I just they wake grin

Crvrider:
I guess the mechanic is still on point. I'll see if I can still bargain more with the seller. Thanks for the input.

However, I'm just scared to drive the car to oyingbo, ordinary u-turn dey scare me like crazy. Was driving home late last night and I was just asking God to help me reach home safely.

Use dispatch riders if you are not comfortable driving it down there.

Crvrider:
6k for the two sides? If you're referring to the parts, its toks, but the car is Nigerian use and I've been using it now for 1yr5mths with this being the first time I experiencing this.

1.5k could still go a long way if I save that and add to labour cost.

Please what's your parts dealer contact?

PS: Honda crv 02

Thanks.

No, 6k for one side. Guess yours is cheap because it’s a CRV.

Please make sure they use iron clip to secure the shaft booth (that black rubber) instead of rubber clip. Shaft killer is dirt and water

I called the mechanic I have there to help me confirm the price, he said 8k for the two but can be priced down.

I think Bolt rating is a scam or there’s more to just 20/40 trips thing.
On Sunday my rating dropped from 4.95 to .88, fast forward to yesterday after my fourth trip, it increased to .90

Something must be going on at their backend.

Crvrider:
Yeah. Called my mechanic and he confirmed its the shaft. My parts dealer at oyingbo said 4k for one, but 7.5k if I buy both.

What car is it? New or Toks?
I bought mine 6k toks

When I turn to the left I am beginning to hear that dreaded kikiki sound...it happens when I turn right too but turning left seems worse. Also the steering wobbles and swerves to the right when I let go of it while driving.

Bad C.V joint (shaft)..For the wobbling steering, check tie rod

@ Crvrider, loud is synthetic wee.d.
I buy parts from Oyingbo because they deal majorly with Honda and it’s closer to the Island. I have a mechanic I use there, any part I need he takes me to the sellers shop.

Meanwhile, this afternoon police stopped me at Addo road, I was with a rider. When the officer came, I greeted him.

Me: Good afternoon Officer
Officer: Shey Na Uber?
Me: Yes it is
Officer: ......long hiss, abeg they go they go.

Me and my rider had a good laugh grin

Eldemmi:
thanks so much I really appreciate

please with tokunbo ball joints how frequent is changing.

Cant say sir. It’s a used part, so expect surprises but better than the China ones. One thing is sure whit the toks ball joint, it’s not going to break or pull off like the China. When it’s bad you will surely as there will be sounds coming from the affected side.

Eldemmi:
Babadee please I have some questions I will like you to help answer

1. on scale of 1-10 how can u rate Honda Accord for this work
2. do use it part time or full time.
3. can u still recommend it for people who will own and drive it themselves.
4.what is ur experience with EOD
5. finally sir do u use China ball joint or OEM or tokunbo

please if you are not comfortable answering it here you can ignore or provide way for me to get those answers personally, I just feel it would be useful for other people too here.
thanks in anticipation sir.
much love.

1. I rate it 8/10, would have given it 10/10 if it was a civic with smaller engine.

2. I use it full time and it has never let me down.

3. Yes, I will recommend it any day anytime (provided you are buying it toks or well maintained Naija use)

4. My experience with EOD has been a bitter sweet one. I’ve owned an EOD that turned out to be a nightmare (Naija used), but this particular one I’m using currently is bae. The driving experience is lovely, AC is excellent. No engine/transmission/ac repair work since 4years of entering Nigeria.

5. I use Tokunbo ball joint. OEM is expensive, Part sellers will try to sell you same thing for different prices. You will hear this one Na original, this one no too strong but e go last, NA LIE. The only time I tried to use the China ball joint I suffered for it.

Sometime ago I traveled leaving the car behind, upon my return I told my babe to give the security guy the car key so he can wash it before I get back. He decided to drive the car to show off to his friends around the neighborhood, on his way back to the house he had an accident with the car. The impact affected the right ball joint, absorber and linkage. We couldn’t get toks ball joint around so we resulted to using the China one, less than two months after the ball joint pulled out at VGC exit gate around 7pm cry

Again at that time of the day, and location, only new will suffice, bought one around and replaced. A week later I changed it to Toks.
That silly act by my security guy made me loose my stock absorber, linkage and ball joint.

Generally Honda is a good brand. Just get yourself a good unit (Tokunbo or sound Naija used), stick to the recommended oil especially the gear oil and all will be well.

I hope you didnt buy it for her?

No! She already bought it before booking my ride, we only met with the dispatch rider halfway to collect it and I would not have known that was what she collected if not for the call she made.

I guess am lost in some part of this world, and I call myself OG. The girls I carried last week spend almost an hour talking about shine, the shine! Shine!! Just kept coming out like it's air to them. I will hear "I need get shine like 40k" "I no like to the shine alone." I was just lost in tot, what's this shine these girls keep calling, I could only narrow it down to drugs. My generation! My generation!!

You are old school grin

Girls these days fear me sha. My first rider on Friday, female, was on phone with her friend from sky mall to presken oniru. She was telling her friend about the previous night, how she wasted from drinking skushis and small stout mixture. Already making plans of how she will repeat same that day.

Carried one this morning before 9am from Ilasan, the moment she sat down, she said please I need 5h from you I need to get condom on the way, you will stop for me to buy it anywhere we see Aboki.

I reach atican beach today , around 12...got two long mainland trips , Uber was gbagada and bolt was abule egba...omo I negotiated offline for the two riders gbagada 5500 , abule egba 8000... gbagada guy gree , abule egba still Dey contemplate , I left him , he actually booked two rides because they were more than 5 , the second driver also told him 8k to abule egba and I wasn’t even there when they negotiating ... there are certain times when offline is king and riders no go get choice

Offline trip is interesting. Let’s just be careful with riders we negotiate offline trips with.

The girl I took to Atican beach earlier bought 30,000 worth of ‘Loud’ on the way. Imagine what will happen if you are with that kind of a rider on offline and police stop you.

By the way, SCIID abi SARS are already on that Okun-Ajah road as at the time I was leaving.
Some guys coming to the beach had to do a 360 turn when they sighted the police guys. Had to slam hard on my brake to let him go. Crazy stunt.

Took a rider to Atican beach now, after she paid for her ticket, I drove in, she said she doesn’t like the atmosphere I should take her to any nice beach around. Would have taken her to Baracuda but for the love of my car, I settled for Santa Cruz.

She said she likes it better to Atican, she gave me the Atican beach ticket to use or give out. I left there to park in front of Atican and was still contemplating whether to go offline and just relax small at the beach or just continue with my hustle when I got a request from Santa Cruz, destination; Lekki gardens 2, money over relaxation grin

I got to Santa Cruz and informed rider of my arrival, few minutes later he called and said he would be going with his friend, he’s so sorry that I should send my account number. I sharply forward the thing.

Less than 30secs, 1k alert entered. Sent him a gratitude sms and went offline.

I they use the 1k flex for Atican beach now. This life I cannot kill my self. grin

Happy Sunday Fellas!

abort the beach mission for now. Lagos state closed down the beach due to covid though you can still go in but the place dry gan. Na only you and water fave to face. No fun as other ppl no come

Are you sure about this sir? When last did you visit Okun-Ajah area? It might interest you to know that for two sundays back to back now I’ve always gone to position there for surge trips to end my day. Last Sunday I took some guys to Santa Cruz beach around 7pm from Falomo, I quickly set destination to my house after dropping them and got a 2.5 surge trip straight to my estate.

The whole place was full to the brim.. with traffic, if you no hold your car well or carry overload you go sink for the sand

These guys have been operating, forget what the government is saying.

I'm looking at taking my family out today, will this place be open for entry? How much is their gate fee?

Anyone With concrete info pls.

Thanks

Elegushi beach is rough AFAIK. If distance is not a worry to you, why not try Atican or Santacruz Beach.
I might just go there later in the to relax.

Bear in mind that gate fee is 1000 per Adult, 500 for children.

Is it now safe to say business has improved and drivers need not complain anymore so we can return to the status quo- 30k weekly

Ahh! My comment should not in any way be misconstrued as this, please. Yesterday was Sallah, it is expected that request will be much and earnings high.

Attached is this week gross earning, Monday earning should give you an idea of subsequent days that followed.

how come u got 77 trips and did just 15. What happen. Mine was 26 trips and I did 7. Was at airport road, getting request at ikotun. 35 minutes pick up cos I set destination. They need work on there destination settings. The least I got was 25 minutes pick up. After much cancellations I just off my app and blow straight home empty.

Long Pick up and Mainland trips. Declined a couple of short trips, anything less than 5km distance trip I no do.
