Happen in Ghana. Blame Ghanaian government. I haven't heard that App drivers are killed in Singapore, Malaysia,China. And few other countries. But this things always happen in Nigeria and other poor African countries. Blame the government, not foreign investors.

You have heard foreigners come into this country for business and was kidnapped and killed, who do we blame? The government.

How long should I warm up my car before driving?

It largely depends on the age of your car, and whether or not you use fully synthetic oil. Such modern oils are very light (as in, low viscosity) , and do not take long to coat the engine components. My car is already 8 years old, but uses fully synthetic 0W20 oil, and the car manual says to give it ten seconds before driving away. This would be the same for most modern cars with similarly light oils.

Also, next time you turn your ignition to the ‘on’ position, before you start the engine, have a listen for the sounds the car makes. You may be able to hear a slight whirring sound - and this could be the sound of your fuel pump priming. It's important to let this happen before you start the engine. Give the car a few seconds (try counting to 5), before you start the engine. In my previous car, this sound was clearly audible, and when it stopped, I knew the pump was primed and ready to do its job. Getting into the car, and immediately starting the engine is neither good for the engine, nor the fuel pump. It can be a little harder to tell what's going on with keyless entry systems, they vary from car to car, but once the ignition is on, that fuel pump starts priming.

Perhaps most important of all though, is that you should not drive the car hard until the engine reaches operating temperature - most wear occurs when a car is driven too hard when the engine is cold.

So, switch the ignition on and wait maybe 5 seconds max, then start the engine and give it ten seconds. Don't leave the car running long before you pull away, but once you do, drive gently and accelerate smoothly until you see the needle on the temperature gauge rise a bit, and then you can start having a little more fun. This is far better than letting the car run for a minute or two before pulling away, and then flooring it!

If you have an older car, running on mineral, or heavier semi-synthetic oil, you might let the engine idle a little longer, but I still wouldn't wait much more then 30 seconds before driving gently away.

Some hoodlums parading themselves as union.

Did uber/bolt employ any driver? Are you receiving salary from uber?

The logic is very simple, if u have a car bring it, we can help you make money by giving you passengers and you agree to the terms by signing up, all of a sudden you turn around and say you're been employed by uber.

You started giving them conditions for you to continue working with them, or you destroy their business by frustrating others that agree to work.

Just like the north have this jihadist in their brain.

IBOS believe in hustle hard.

South west have this strong entitlement feeling, awon owoda. As if them help you work your money.

If uber partnership conditions they pain you go create your own app.

We appreciate all articulate comrades who went completely offline at home and who made themselves available at protest ground. Thanks to you all.

Aqib09:
Thanks anyway.
I got some clarifications here though

Felicity001:
Mr President Sir, please kindly convey this to your senior colleague on this matter.

Thank Mr. President Sir.

shollywendy1:
You are absolutely right on this submission.
Anyway, I responded based on what I read here earlier that protesters were clamping fellow drivers' car that are not part of the protest.
Also the part that a driver was requested to deliver a fake parcel at badore from Yaba. I don't know if it's true or not. But better not be true

shollywendy1:
Imagine, you shooting yourself on the leg.
These ones you mentioned above have union.
ASUU and ASUP are unions of academic staffs, they must enforce strike. Same goes to pengasan and Nupeng.
Reason why uninterested drivers must not be forced to join the protest because there is no union.
Just as I said earlier, I'm not against the protest but fully against the violence, assaults on other innocent drivers. It's nonsense
And calling drivers that goes against the protest greedy and selfish is one thing I don't understand when there is no legal document signed in form of law among the drivers or any association bind you guys together

shollywendy1:
Didn't you see this part as a pure wickedness?
How will you feel if you are that driver that was sent on a fake trip to badore?
Why must everybody join the protest when there is no union?
Those fake pedpa of a thing are scammers.
I stopped driving on Uber/bolt apps for this reasons they are protesting for a while now.
During the #endsars protest, some were for the protest, while some were against it. Expecially the northerners. It's a normal thing.
We all look but sees differently

Pearl1910:
Don't worry, we know them. They have been noted

davit:
Na so my brother. I don't understand what some people are referring to as hidden agenda. The agenda is all out there for all to see. All the requests are for the benefits of every driver. So where does hidden agenda come from?

So we have no right to protest again? What a country!

The union chairman wants to form jagaban

Getting there police mess him up. DCP Adegoke Fayoade that head panti is a very good police officer, he will make sure justice is served, i have known him when he was at zone 2 command.

all the crimes committed by union members will fall on the chairman, all those deceitful requests is actually a crime.

If you have wake up and decide to protest peacefully no arrest will be done, but you created illegal task force, impounding people's car illegally, collecting illegal fee, harrassing people to join the protest. The count charge will be long, and there will be conviction

hillso7:
Whether or not you are in support of the strike, for me the strike continue.

We might not get all we are asking for but definitely some things might not remain the same and signal will be sent to the app coy.

Say whatever you like o, even though I didn't join the protest I dey my house.

They are suspending their driver account . My guess is those guys used the same phone number to register as a rider and as a driver

kanuisagoat:
And I stopped picking requests from guys. The ones from ladies are more likely to be real requests.

Not to brag but I'm smarter than most people so all those una fake requests hardly bothered me When I'm not leaving it to ring out, I will decline or arrive and cancel. When those percentages go over the roof, I book myself from my three rider accounts and cancel to take it down.

Bolt don warn me tire, your activity score is low, too many drivers not showing up bla bla bla. I still dey kampe

jpworld:
Baz001 for those of you doing enforcement, arrest has started. Some drivers complain to uber, that their car tyres are deflated, phone seized, some part with 4k as fine to regain their phones. In the eyes of the law is call stealing. OBT.

Couple of petitions have been submitted at Lagos state police command today, continue with your illegality, until you find yourself in panti, remember judiciary still on strike. No judiciary to enforce your foundamental right.

I wish drivers had a way of enforcing the strike. When their revenue suffers a major hit, they will find something to do asides the stupid SOS button on the app.

donfortune48:
Relatively true.

That's why Dashboard talks here by some peeps, somehow affects my reasoning.

toomush:
Tune in to 99.3, the strike is been discussed

Phred1717:
I guess the strike has called off itself, because a lot of drivers have enter the road... Including some union members.

Pearl1910:
I promised I will not insult anybody on social media again, I would rather educate and enlighten the person. But this one na old cargo, if u try to straighten crayfish, him go break.

Pearl1910:
Yeye dey smell...people will be speaking from both sides of their mouth. Spewing rubbish in d process. Tot in 2021 u would have some sense, but alas u r retrogressing. Smh

jpworld:
Doctors/lecturers can strike bc they collectively agree to be in a union. And they're professionals, very important to the society, drivers are low skill workers, less important to the government or society. Even danfo drivers strike will cripple Lagos state, than uber drivers strike.

When doctors strike, did you see them stop private hospital doctors from going to work?

When i heard you guys are doing some sorts of illegal enforcement, i turn on my app and hit the road, make i see who born una to impound my car or collect illegal fee.

I'm a Democrat, i won't force you to go against ur wish.

[b]4 of my drivers choose not to work, i asked them to come pack my car, i have parked the 4 cars until next Monday. [/b]This morning 3 of them call me, that they want to carry the car, i said no wait till Monday, bc i don't want stories.

jpworld:
The union chairman promised you a post, reason for your hardwork.

Keep the good work, you will make a fantastic career in agbero.

I heard you guys created illegal taskforce, impounding drivers car illegally, collecting illegal fine, harassing drivers to join the strike.

This is just the beginning by the time you gain more ground, what is happening in oshodi will be a child's play.

Every business man is there to exploit and make gain, uber/bolt won't be the last. Even business law is design to exploit. If the job no pay you quit.

kanuisagoat:
Nice one sir, you are a man of your words.

I already stated it from the onset that I will not be joining the strike. I also gave my reasons for not joining and I will state it here again.

The model being used for the strike is bound to fail. If we have to go on strike, there has to be a way to ensure every driver goes on strike. We will also remain on strike till all or most of the demands tabled before them are met.

This idea of a one day strike or one week strike will not change anything. I know this already so will I join a strike that I'm sure won't yield any result?
