try get one that is genuine even if it's online it will be big benefits for you and your family in the long run..
Which benefit? undecided

Since I've been going to church, I've not seen any benefit. Na just to dey drop money for church. I've not stopped going but I really don't go often like before. Infact I've not gone for about 2 months now and nothing has changed, nothing has happened. I pray at home.

Though I don't work on Sundays. I keep it holy for God.

Meaning that men are promiscuous in nature?
Being promiscuous means that you have many sexual partners.

I have only dated about 2 ladies before I met my wife. Judging from the definition above, Am I promiscuous?

That is the more reason why i want a virgin man,a man that has stayed his whole life without sex i'm sure waiting till marriage won't be a big deal.
Don't wait for a virgin man, that's a Herculean task. The way men are wired isn't the way women are. Men will always fvck, some will masturbate. But you can get a non virgin man that will wait till after marriage before sex.

I waited for my virgin wife till after marriage before sex.

It is still not sorted. How can you be paying just to park in front of your house?! It is never done anywhere in the world. The fence outside to the gutter is still your space and front house, not the government.

This is nonsense. You're right ab initio. They are looking for campaign money. You shouldn't have apologised in anyway. This should be debated by lagosians

Rider go just dey smile collect AC grin, while driver go dey sweat for blocus
I once picked a girl on bolt from university road to ogba(inside) and trip was on surge(1.4/1.5). Spent time in traffic....I mean mad traffic(LG dosumu and ogba road) to the extent that the girl was contemplating on alighting cos she doesn't want to pay more than what she saw when she ordered. I asked what she saw, she said 4500 to 5k. When we eventually got to her destination, it was 5k.

Bolt sef no dey count well for traffic!

thank you, what is the negative balance you have to get to before they cut you off, or do have to top even before using as they will just be removing their own commission from your top up till it gets to zero.
Anytime it enters any negative, then you can't get request or negotiate on a request. Just load about 1k or 1500 in the morning before work. If you exceed it by evening, you can click on replenish, then click on card. 300 is the least. You can put 600 then

The other day, one of us was writing to bolt customer care... I'm like. There's no point, they won't listen to you anyway....
If you do card trips on bolt, they will transfer the money to your bank account, but if a rider refuse to pay and you report the case, they'd rather put it in the app acct than paying it to your bank account. That's somehow tricky to me cos I don't have time to start calculating the app balances

Not a bolt fan boy, but Bolt surely still have its perks. Was surge today at lekki phase 1 cause of heavy traffic. Did a 1300 trip on indriver for close to 1hr 30 mins, quickly switched to bolt...lol. Same trips on bolt was double the price grin grin
Damn! 1 hr 30 mins trip for 1300 sad
Sorry about this bro.
I really don't understand how 18 mins trip can turn to 1hr 30 mins. You should have explained to the rider immediately you clicked navigate and you saw 1hr 30 mins. If he/she refuses to renegotiate, you can cancel. Its better they charge you 130 commission, than for you to embark on that journey for 1300.

Indriver na calculation. This is how I do mine. If trip is about 5 to 8 mins.....1k. About 16 to 20 mins....1500. About 30 to 35.....2500. 45mins....2800. 1 hour....btw 3k to 3300. So that your trip should have been 4500/5000 or a bit more.

I have not worked for 2 days though, cos bolt suspended me till Sunday. I tried using Indriver but the prices I saw got me discouraged. Riders just dey turn down my offer. I just used the time to read up for a course I'm doing.

Better days ahead bro.

Yes, his rate was higher because he spread his payment over a period of 6 months. If he had Shorten it to three months, he would have paid less. But the amount they are charging is high for that three months cos it's short. That's my worries.
Even if it was for 3 months, it would still be higher than yours. Its your choice to take or leave it. I've given you my own advice
FamilyRe: Guys Please Is This Loan Worth Collecting Pics Attached by Barbiturate(m): 9:37am On Aug 19, 2022

It's the same thing. The longer the tenor, the higher the interest rate.

If I choose 6 months tenor, it will get to 30 something though too.
Its not the same. With the rate they gave my friend, check it, 60k for 3 months. That's like 44k interest
FamilyRe: Guys Please Is This Loan Worth Collecting Pics Attached by Barbiturate(m): 9:29am On Aug 19, 2022
17,820 in 3 months, for 60k loan is okay. Go ahead and take it.

A friend collected 120k from fairmoney, to pay 34840 monthly, for 6 months. That's much. So yours is good

So painful. Rider was really nice. He followed me to Sura, but when they refused to listen to our plea, he just told me to end the trip. He paid the full money and added extra.

After paying the 20k, I thought of working but my mood and spirit was just too down to work. I just drove home, parked, entered my house, brought out a bottle of beer from the fridge and was watching Netflix on my phone.

Best is never do anything that will make them come for you. Try as much as possible not to drop or pick up people by the side of the road. Obey traffic rules. One thing I always do in areas where I'm not familiar with is to always ensure there are two or more vehicles in front of me and I follow my map.

Peace!
Those 2 or more vehicles might be wrong and you'll follow. They might not be stopped, but they will stop you.
For example, going to lekki/ajah from 3rd MB, you'd pass through TBS bridge...down. There's usually 2 lanes coming down the bridge. Some people form another lane(3rd) at the left end of the bridge and enter the next correct lane in front. I didn't know it was an offence before, so I followed some cars and I was stopped by lastma.

Dailyparrot:
Don't let anyone deceive you with the InDriver thing bro. Request on InDriver is still low and extremely competitive that you can stay for 5 hours without doing a single trip.
Indriver isn't that bad the way you portray it. On Saturday I did an hour trip(twice) on Indriver for 3300. I did an hour on bolt without surge and it came to 2800. You're allowed to choose your price. The commission is also 9.5 compared to Bolt's 25. I'm not saying Indriver is better than bolt.....I'm just saying that they both have advantages and disadvantages.
Moreover, I agree it's highly competitive but then I haven't stayed 2 hours without a trip.


This is outside the discussion:

Why are some of these riders dubious? They tend to do fake transfers and when you tell them to wait for you to confirm, they would give you 1 star and write negative comments about you, on the rating.
A lady made a statement on my rating that I made her wait for 15 mins to confirm a transfer.

Meanwhile, another lady recently made a false transfer in my car and I delayed her to confirm the transfer. After waiting for almost 20 mins without alert. I told her to pls give my money, that I can't wait anymore. She said she would call someone to make another and asked what will happen to the one she did before. I told her I would transfer it back. The transfer the person she called did, entered almost immediately. Up till today I've not received the one she claimed she did.

They write negative comments about you concerning the wait....but I don't really understand what they expect. That you should just let them go without confirming the transfer! That means you'd pack up soon.

I even had similar experience late last year. I had to beg someone here to go help me track the man at the hotel opposite askamaya. The person here that agreed to help, said the man never picked his calls. This rider made a fake transfer and showed me fake receipt. I left. After some hours, I didn't get the transfer. I called him and he said he doesn't know what to do. At some point he stopped picking my calls. I was on the mainland around 5, hoping to get a ride to Lekki. Finally got the ride to phase 1. Parked my car there cos of traffic. Took bike to the hotel. Begged the receptionist to help me call him. We dragged the issue till he gave me 4k cash.
Just imagine what I had to go through just because I want to collect my money for a service rendered.

Then you have the demonic people that will want to show you "pepper", by allowing you to waste your petrol to get to their location and then cancel when you get there.

Thanks for the heads up ,boss pls like how much can one make in a day , say working from 5/6am - 5/6pm .
I really can't say; I work from 7:30/8am to 7pm and I make about 15k, sometimes 20, sometimes 23k or even 25k.
Like what pope said some days back:
"There's really no actual figure, it all depends on you, your car and what the day brings"!

There was even a day I made about 20k before 4pm. I was so happy, only for lastma to catch me that I passed a wrong place. They took me to their Sura office and collected the 20k. I had to just drive home to rest n nurse my pain......... sometimes it depends on what the day brings.
