Bro like I said earlier, if you’re car owners, try and get some skills online to improve yourself or submit cv’s and pray to God for better thing to come…

Ehailing isn't bad but January to February 14, is always slow down. Use the opportunity to learn something online/offline apply for that visa you’ve been thinking of….. do Monday hustle Friday and weekends till the work balance!

Save, eat and rest well at least person wey work for December alone as a car owner (if the car doesn’t give you too much problems) should have savings of 150k-200k foodstuff 50k isn’t that bad oh

Meanwhile make una rate my amateur mobile app designing

What’s the name of your app, is it on AppStore or google play store ? make we help you like, subscribe and download it

ndubuisi2021:
Sorry for the ordeal. In addition to what has been said, let's not forget the main underlying cause of this: "Bolt bonus". Folks should not be chasing this. I see it as slavery in a way that can lead one into serious trouble. 40 trips in four days with all those crazy conditions is unrealistic in this Lagos except one loves suffering.

Select trips and offers that will make you achieve your target for the day and go back home in peace. It's not like one cannot meet trouble along the way, but setting your own targets and goals for the day reduces loses and stress to it's barest minimum.

Loves suffering E wooooo
E get bolt driver wey suffer never master ?

Me right now

Lol just 3days ban welcome to the club.
I don chup ban taya until I get sense.
There is a strategy not to get ban. It’s called a defensive posting and our telegram group is full.

The hustle no gree me dis week and I don’t want to have High blood pressure or maybe Na cos I be newbie and I can’t explain it yet as I never understand it.

Bro, someone can not play with you again.

I’m not referring to you sincerely, it’s a general post cos others shared their stories too but yours is the freshest.
I’m not judging you bro, if I see d opportunity I will jump at it too only dt I will be collecting money every night.

nickvanilla:
Honestly, some times I think back at some of the things I read here and can't seem to place which claim is more unbelievable than the other.

1) Found a way to drive around Lagos without encountering traffic.
2) Found a way to drive defensively such that his car never saw any scratch/dent all year round.
3) Found a magic word to tell riders so they wouldn't waste his time before starting trip.
4) Found a way to avoid Lastma/Firs/Vio/Police wahala all year round while driving on bolt.
5) Learnt the time and place most bolt riders go to, so that he can always position to get long trips on surge.
6) Made so much money from Uber and decided to upgrade from Toyota Matrix to Corrola 2013/2016.
7) Rented a house of over 1.2 milion per annum in chevvy view estate so he can always set destination trips against traffic. (Every bolt driver gets only 2 destination trips per day but our man's own was unlimited)

Our almighty cheerful. Not your average driver!!!

Chiiiiisoossss is lawddddd.
You too
so una plenty wey dey follow our fellow... CheerfulGiver.
Hmmm God save you he has gone on sabbatical leave else he would have gone to dig you up, abuse you and call you fu(kt@rd

You guys should leave my good friend and motivator alone please. He’s going through slot right now.[img]https://media1./images/65e08c1357bfd3cc283e6c52535dd22f/tenor.gif?itemid=23831754[/img]

Wonders shall never end

1. So a lot of comrades have been scammed and they swallowed it with pride... street

2. You mean you can drive someone up and down Lagos for 2weeks day and night to earn 100k plus. A whole 150 k some bankers monthly salary according to pearl1910.
150k - 2weeks?
If police should hear dis they will jail some drivers and collect half of the money.

Lastly make una teach me how to get dis type of riders, I want them to try to scam me too 150k in 2wks.


[img]https://media1./images/46c075c9408d33d1e7e6387cfc51ff1d/tenor.gif?itemid=14666818[/img]

See wetin una cause ?
Na play I dey play rider took it serious
I had to quickly cancel

Springboot:
this is hilarious, no I have never driven on any of the platforms even tho I wanted try it back then for the experience but I didn't have the time for all the registration hassles. however I have 2 vehicles out on higher purchase and I also enjoy reading thru this particular forum.

Is like we will start asking people to state if they are Drivers ,
riders or
partners/car owner.
To avoid confusion.
I’m not even surprised unlike one driver dt lied to us that he bought 2016 Corolla for bolt after his matrix packed up.
Same guy lied dt he lives in lekki but alas he lives in iyana ipaja.

[img]https://c./_2fwEYnCisQAAAAC/im-not-even-surprised-preacher-lawson.gif[/img]

Springboot:
2016 GS350, Yes all doors including the front, I've confirmed it several times, the settings can be modified using a dealer tool tho.

You use this for bolt or personal use ?
Are you a driver or rider ?
Lexus 2016 Ahn Ahn

Springboot:
My vehicle can't open any door if the speed is above 20mph, childlock or not

Pls what type of vehicle is that ?
Even if the rider seats in front

Ghost1994:
They earn non physical 400k bolt money will plenty like ritual on your dashboard but in reality you’re left with hmmm lemme shut up

I give up on you Baba

yommie007:
Na to activate CHILDLOCK remain oo... God help us.

I don reason am too
I will just be coming down to open door for them like mumu but it’s better to be mumu than sleeping in prison.
Either I ask them to use seatbelt at the back
Or sit in the middle and be watching their hands and movements on high way.

Once you are not pressing phone or sleeping you are a suspect


[img]https://c./3KkDpf-DH1UAAAAd/weird-hmm.gif[/img]

fk001:
I think 2m for the whole year is more reasonable and realistic. You will also have time for other businesses.

I can bet my last penny no one on this thread has achieved that ridiculous and unrealistic 1m monthly target. Some can do half of it but their body and car will definitely break down at the end of the month.

Comrade you too?
Tomorrow is Monday “my nigga “ can shock us.
You guys should pls calm down ehh

Ghost1994:
The major problem is GOALS how many people can vouch after hustling for 1 year straight to have savings of 300k It’s obvious not many.

My write is not about January/February alone. Is just for one whole career..

Before December, have been writing it here that we should have a plan B.

Ahn Ahn comrade mbok , calm down this new year .
What happened to netting 100k easily week in week out ?
95% of newbies or non drivers believes drivers earn 400k every month.

Olayetan:
Who saw this on Facebook?

So sad a story. I pity the driver, first week in a new year.
From hustling to police station or prison unless God intervenes cos our society or police beliefs so much in rituals and juju. How do you explain that a 400 level able body open door on high way and jumped out and has been into many bolt cars before yours?
Even with dashcam this guy wont be able to drive again in the next one or two months or forever.

May God continue to protect and guide us .Amen

GeneralZodd:
Winter has come, everybody Dey write article on how to go start other side hustle. Some were advising us to go and park our cars at home due to recent Bolt fare slash and scarcity of ride request.

During festive period you guys were busy cashing out, Nobody remembered to write article or doing other side hustle .

Ghost advised we should work on Mondays and weekends only and use other days to do other hustle. BAAZ is saying to drive no dey hungry am again. He felt he has wasted his life driving. .

I am not against doing other side hustle. It’s multiple streams of income, but the truth of the matter is that in every business there is bullish and bearish period. You don’t expect the ehailing market to be bullish this period. January/February is usually not booming like other months. but if you re very experienced you can still make good money during this period. Strategy is the key.

Any business you cannot persevere and withstand the challenges that comes with it and succeed in a long run, when you try other business and when its challenges comes you would chicken out easily.

The problem with most of us is that we don’t set goals of what to achieve in this hustle. We wake up, hustle, make money and spend it as it comes believing tomorrow will take care of itself. We don’t save, we don’t invest. I have set a goal of #2million this year after all expenses. And by grace of God I will achieve it like the previous years.


Goals are essential to success. It gives you fulfillment when you attain it. my bank savings and investment is what keeps me going in this hustle. When I reach the pinnacle, I will quit.

I agree with you, all jobs have ups and downs.
I’ve never ruled out ehailing. As long as you have your own car it’s a good source of income but it’s not supposed to be a full time job.
I respect guys like you, Felicity001, pearl1910 and many others that have been driving for more than 3yrs consistently, and also guys that started from rentals/Hp to car owners I can’t imagine how they did it?
Ehailing is not for me, I’m just struggling to do it cos anytime I compare the effort and strength you put into it compared to the money it’s way too much. I use to say driving is my hubby but not with ehailing.
2Million target for the whole of the year ?
You dey here when dem give us 1M monthly you no talk Na small e remain I for injure myself driving night and day pursuing 1M
Chaiii

Pearl1910:
How much u take make 32k in two days?
Abeg show me road o

Josephase:
Bros I go like learn too

Lol, I said 32k in two days the other days I no make shi shi... I was told people pay rent and school fees with it. But as a newbie I don’t see how possible. WHY it’s not a constant Source of income or maybe I never learn.
But my point is that there are side hustles not as stressful and dangerous as ehailing. That driving too should be side hustle and not full time.

I go with tunlapapa 100%
No job is easy but some are easier than driving up and down let’s not close our eyes or mind to it. As long as it’s legit, I go follow u do am.

donfortune48:
E be like say you need open your own Telegram group oh!
I wan join.

You wey dey make dollars for Nigeria
How much is 32k compare to your dollars?
Just make your telegram group criteria easy and I will be d first to join not asking for my birth certificate

Ghost1994:
Best advice to car owners that’s doing ehailing as full time in this January is…….

1. Park your car at home Tuesday to Friday
2. Hustle only Monday and weekends
3. Go to Coursera/udemy etc find a good course you can do that’ll develop your skill.
4. For people below 40yrs you can still apply for ui/ux or graphics designer at least be doing 4hrs a day and use this moment to eat well and rest well.
5. Whatever you’ve made in December, buy 50k worth of foodstuffs at home pay half of school fees and replan yourself on how to embark on new journey
6. Keep this in mind, ehailing is just to keep body and soul together. look for better things to do
7. Buhari has advised every youth to go into farming… so get connected to your friends in the village and plant maize/okra/tomatoes etc on large scales
8. Start something new (open a viewing center with budget of 200k to 300k if you get better location you can open a viewing center)
9. Game stations shop (buy 2 ps2 and 2 ps3 consoles, find a shop in a secondary school environment, buy uk used 20inchs tv 4 pieces with 250k you set up this and small generator) whatever you generate from here, save it.
10. Start looking for job
11. With weekends hustle you can be saving 30k
12-1000. Ehailing is just to keep body and soul

Have a great day ahead

Seems 2022 is a year of reality and eyes opener in this thread. Just few months ago some folks were advising people to resign their jobs to join the hustle.
If you wrote this in July they will say you are pessimistic and discouraging people.

We gather dey.
I’ve been attending a seminar since 3rd of Jan and I feel I’ve wasted all my time and energy driving up and down Lagos.
I discussed with a young chap fresh graduate and the guy was telling me how easy it is to make money online this days than doing yahoo yahoo. That a lot of legit jobs from home.

I tried one of them and made 32k in 2 days yet we were made to believe that there is no job out there.
To drive no just hungry me

childofgrace2k:
Even in the abroad o

The fear of 1 star won’t let us say dt unless you are ready to cancel. But bolt no dey try at all with their ratings.

Glithronix:
We newbies probably plenty for here. You can see that from the number of likes on this post.
Thanks very much, boss. More wisdom.
To drive like ants noted.
Salute.

Good,
Drive like ants and breakdown physically (health depreciates. )
Drive like ants and car breaks down for two weeks and start taking bus from oshodi to ipaja (remember poverty days)
Drive like ants and breaks down mentally (go to rehab when car breaks down & you are unable to drive.
Drive like ants and sleep in the car or malls
Drives like ants and doze off in traffic
Drive like ants and gross 800k monthly
Ants don’t last long on the platform

Felicity0001:
Aswear.

Hypocrites everywhere.

na so cherfulgiver preach preach sotey him car pack up... Baba no dey practice watin him dey preach if not why him car go pack up?

Car he claimed to maintain well, even do defensive driving join yet car still pack up.

That's why i laugh some times when I c some comments here abt this guy. You don't know who a person truly is until you live/deal with them. Though no one is perfect but some people we think are good are really bad if you get close to them.

Leave CheerfulGiver he has followed farehnz and jesusson. I only pity d people that rushed into the hustle cos of his dashboard. Slow and steady wins the race.

But em emm dis your last statement are you referring to someone in particular?
Cos some pple already concluded in their mind.
This 2022 may God not allow us meet bad people

I really don’t know why guys make proposals public. Mshhhwwwwwe
Our papa and mama marry without public proposals and their marriages lasted.
This generation will chase clout and marriage won’t last for 2years rubbish

Dailyparrot:
I think some drivers take what the read here so serious and act on it, hook, line, and sinker.

Please, your rider is not your enemy. They are your customers. You need them as much as they need you. Being unnecessarily rude and hostile especially when the rider hasn't given you any reason to do so is unacceptable.

My sister ordered a ride and when the driver arrived, my sister was gesturing for him to wind down his glass so she can confirm he's her driver but the driver ignored her and kept a straight face.

He rather was inside gesturing to my sister to open the door. When she finally did, the guy was asking her if she didn't see the details of his car on the app.

Mehn, you don't just start quarreling with people especially someone you are to provide a service to when there's no provocation at all.

All of us here that complain of riders not reading the car details are guilty of not paying attention to some certain things in the daily services that we receive. Let's learn to be patient and tolerant in this business please.

Once a rider asks me the color of my car, I don't hesitate to tell him or her because it's faster and less stressful to do so than arguing on whether or not the rider can't read the details in the car.

In some cases, the rider may not be knowledgeable enough to know that those other details are in the app. Some of these guys are not that tech savvy. You might be surprised to know that some people use Android phones but have never opened Google Chrome or any browser on their phones. All they know is Facebook, Instagram, etc. Apps, apps only. They can't even make a Google search.

Please, it's a service not a war. Your rider is not your enemy.

In the olden days if you can’t read or write you are an illiterate.
But this our generation if you can’t operate (apps / techy / online ) you are an illiterate, even if you can read or write.
Though Corner44 talks about semi-illiterate only him can explain

So I don’t care your level of education if you can’t operate simple apps like banking apps , ehailing apps, Snapchat, Twitter, wether on android or iPhone you are an illiterate.
There is nothing you can tell me today ,
Once I hear
“Where are you”’,
what’s the color of your car?
What’s you name ?
Can you on your hazzal light (festac girl)
Are you my driver ?
If you like wear suit and have phd you are an illiterate.

Having said that , we have 3 types of drivers approach to this hustle
1. Hoodlum driver approach : very high temper, waiting for rider to mess up and dey flare up, shout at you, like you and rider get personal beef before.

2. Ikejamanism/simps like or mumu approach
Licking riders Ass cos of ratings, Shouting yes ma upandan, going down to open boot, carrying bags and undies for ladies, dashing dem 500# and keep d change

3. Veteran approach:
They only care about d trip, is it surge, is it cash trip, is it long distance , is it good road. They may not greet you at all or care if you ask stupid question. Just let’s go.

In all, the mood of the driver per time and quality of trip determines their approach.

I’m not against you or your post just stating my point, in fact Some or must drivers too are illiterate but story for other day.

I understand we need to be calming down too But dis Lagos no dey help matter.
Many are mad few are roaming

Glithronix:
At the bold first paragraph. you no go vex ni ooh. I been doing questioning mostly since, make I no stress you out with my questions, that's why I was putting "no vex, no vex".
Omo, this your explanations be like lecturing, kudos to you, I salute your experience. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Chai! Guyman must make use of these your explanations to access himself before going into the Uber/bolt as a new starter. Hmmm.
Thank you boss. Appreciate. More wisdom.

If you have your own car
You are good to go no fear but if it’s rental/hp you must drive like ants before you make a living and you will definitely break down and the car will not remain the same trust me.

But let me state this for other newbies reading. if you don’t have job or other source of income, pls get a car on rentals/ Hp and start hustling... it’s better than seating at home begging,

Pearl1910:
E mean and e no mean.
When u buy a quarter to die car and subject it to stress of ehailing it will fall apart faster than ice in sun.
But good naija used still dey and it's light on ur pocket so u maximize ur profits and have good ROI.
So whether it's naija used or foreign used, make sure u buy a good car. Some people still spend 100-200k on a tokunbo car to put it to standard. It's just that naija used has a higher probability of being abused and messed-up that's why it's adviseable to go for tokunbo and have rest of mind. But if u find a good naija used and d price is right, it's still okay.

You too, mention name ooh,
cos pope191 and donfortune48 have concluded in their heart what type of car you referring to.
