Why so many rude riders on Bolt?

They are so many! Especially young girls.

I was on a 4.85 rating about 2 days ago. Yesterday I picked a young girl from abule ijesha, going to VI(one hotel like that)

We passed the bus stop and she said she would like to buy food at the bus stop. I saw crowd there when I passed so I knew I would wait for almost 15 mins or so, and then I would have to turn back again and join the inward traffic. So I asked if she put a stop to it. The next thing I heard was; "what nonsense"

I parked and told her; why would you use that language for me? She said she just wants to buy food and I'm telling her this nonsense.

I told her to mind her language. She said if she doesn't mind her language, then what would happen. I said how can you look at me, at my age and tell me this?

She said; Oga common end this trip, I'm fucking not going again.

I just parked, ended the trip and collected my money. I just opened the trunk for her to take her belongings.

This morning I saw 4.6 rating.

I think bolt is not being fair to drivers on the rating issue.

That girl should be btw 18 to 20 years. I am over 40. Person wey I fit born. I understand what comes with serving people but this really pissed me off. I've never had such issues before, cos I greet first and I help with their loads or belongings.

The guy I picked from unilag to abule ijesha, before getting this girl, also bought food and didn't put a stop, but I told him he said he was sorry,and that he didn't know. He added about 1k to the fare, and even when I wanted to refuse, he said No, I should take it. That he likes my approach and my patience,cos he wasted about 12 mins.

I just taya for this small girls!

This bolt App is just acting up this morning. I don't know if it's MTN network or its the App. Again, riders have been complaining they don't see my number on the App.

I waited for him to cancel because it was him that made the decision of not going.

I'm sorry for your ordeal. I actually didn't read what transpired but I would like to say something on the above statement.

It is easier and more convenient for riders to cancel, than drivers. If you cancel the trip as a rider on bolt, you will not be charged, but if a driver cancels before the 5 mins wait, his/her activity will drop. There's a level it will drop to, that driver might be blocked or suspended.

There are reasons why drivers choose not to go to a certain area. It could be a lastma dominated area, it could be traffic, it could be bad road, etc. No matter the reason, it shouldn't anger you riders or stop you from cancelling.

I've had to cancel when riders refused to, just cos I refused going to their destination. Sometimes I take time to explain to them why it's better for them to cancel, but when they turn deaf ears, I just swipe arrive even when I've not. Then wait for 5 mins and cancel.

I hope other riders here are reading this. Please cancel by yourself because you will not be charged. Bolt don't charge riders for cancellation. Bolt will reduce drivers activity if they cancel.

Capiche?

I love yiur vibe

Police is yiur friend

But if you check am well... Police is truly your friend oh.

Baba, it's when you get into trouble and they help you, that's when you will know police is your friend.

Some years back when I drove someone's car on bolt, I picked this lady from phase 2 Lekki, she was going to "bourdilon"
I paid 300 at Lekki Ikoyi link bridge and when I got to the round about, the car stopped. Noticed it was fuel, cos the gauge was faulty. I begged the woman to chill for me to buy fuel, she refused and told me to end trip. I ended it and it came to 1200 or so. She said she will never give me 1200 cos I didn't get to her destination. She brought out 500 naira and I told her to go with it. The police guys at the round about came and asked me what happened. I told them and they told her to give me 1k. She refused. They said they would take us both to the station and they will make it a case. She eventually dropped 1k and they told me to take it.

When I took bike to buy fuel, I didn't have any gallon. I met a guy at the filling station that gave me a 20/25 litre keg. After buying the fuel, he followed me on bike to collect his keg. After putting the fuel in the tank, I gave him 800( the change with me) this guy refused and said his money is 2k. We argued and the police guys at the round about came again. When they heard what happened, they told the guy that if he doesn't collect that 800 Sharp sharp, they would collect it and I will leave here free and nothing would happen. The guy collected the money angrily and left.

I went to them later and thanked them. Told them I don't have cash on me again. They said I should not worry, that I should go n fix my fuel gauge

What was the outcome Barbie?

The man is tribalistic! After asking questions about the position and my experience, he was impressed with my response, atleast from the look on his face. Then he asked me where I am from, I said Enugu. He just shouted....."Ahhhh, omo Igbo(Igbo man)

I started speaking Yoruba. Told him I was born and bred here. He wasn't having it. He said I should stop speaking Yoruba to him. That I am still omo Igbo, that I don't have the passport!

He asked some other questions like: Do you have a car? Are you married? Etc.

After the interview, I knew I wasn't his choice, but the daughter (Raisa) assured me that I would get the job cos I'm her choice. She later called me that they got someone for the job, but I would have to be an assistant to the person. I accepted, but since then, I've not heard from her.

5 series of interview.
2 with the daughter
1 with the HR
2 with baba.

Each of them, they gave me 5k trans package, that's 25k.

Don't be afraid. Girls younger than her in Nigeria have gone far in sex, this doesn't mean that it is right to fvck girls below 18.

If you truly like her, then continue, but don't just fvck her, help her life and career.

Yes. I never owed. He decided to increase rent outrageously and I told him it's too much for me, then he told me to leave. I asked for 6 months, he said 3. I went to the office of the public defender. They summoned him and he agreed 6 months

I only know their Lagos office at ojuelegba.(8, iyun road, Yaba.

I once used them when I had issues with my former landlord and they resolved it.

Quit notice is 6 months.

If he doesn't vacate after 6 months, take the case to office of the public defender. They will summon him.

NB: if you go to court, they will delay the matter and he will stay longer.
If you use force(police, army) to move his things, he will take you to court and claim damages.

Yes I am always selective with trip...

Yesterday I did just 4 trips to meet that target

Omole to banana island --- 4100

Banana- eko hotel ---- 1500

Eko hotel to ijegun. --- 6000

Drove empty to akowonjo (was heading home to watch SE match, set destination omole, but eventually got ShopRite Ikeja) ---1500

Drove empty to omole phase 1(close).

You're doing well brother! The fact that you close by 5pm and still make this amount (in this dry January) is really nice to know. I so much love this bro. Nice one! More power to your elbow!

I'll continue to preach this to all; please close in time and save yourself from night hazards!
Though there are hazards every now and then, but night hustle risky pass.

Well, Mr daddytime has answered your question.
