Barbiturate:
I don't understand the rift about 200k weekly/monthly or the correlation with my predicament but with the attached earnings, I believe one can make btw 250-400k monthly, if one is diligent and hardworking without any police/lastma/vio/road safety issues. I would have made the same amount or almost yesterday if I hadn't faced the issue I faced.

It's well with everyone. We will be alright.

I'm at their Oshodi office

Bros you strong ooh.
You mean you can still come here and read comments?
If Na me dey your position, I will have lost 10kg and praying and fasting and calling everybody I know to eep.
Mehn strong for this Nigeria

No mind them, I’m sure you will get your car back without going to court

Gentlelife50:
Serious? But one big man driver here said it's impossible, in fact he learnt defensive driving online.
So their is no way he would get his car bashed, what do I even know?
Let me be jejely moving traffic.
Since this week no gbam gbam, but once I enter road my 200k must complete

BAZOO1 I am now the king of lazy drivers association, calling me ordinary chairman is an insult.

This Man Ehhhh .
I thought I was the only one that saw that defensive driving ? Na so I go learn am too even learnt how to do defensive park d bus. Just yesterday I saw two straight line when I parked at home. Where dem scratch me I no know, cos I dey inside car throughout. I want to learn offensive driving now.
but I no go near somolu for now.
Hmm nobody can contest that position with you, donfortune48 is in the board of directors.

CheerfulGiver:
Was it dashboard posting that was responsible for making him drive into brt lane or was it dashboard posting that made him choose a mobile court?

See your life?

Chimooooooo
Hahaha only the guy can answer this question. Something must motivate a man.
Abeg Na serious matter be dis make my belle no burst with laugh.

Bros at the top no be u I dey laugh oo.

Whois:
I am owing bolt -92 naira after my last hustle for today but when I clicked on pay to bolt am unable to get account number to transfer the money to, please will this effect my tomorrow hustle? and can someone please help with thier account number I don't want to owe them. Thanks guys

Hehehe, you can owe them jare.
Bolt is very rich, you won’t believe how much ants owe bolt everyday.

You can owe up to 4k before it starts affecting your trips. You don’t need to pay them now cos if you do by tomorrow you will owe them 200N again. Will you be paying everyday ? Wait till friday or when it’s 3k you might get card trip tomorrow and bolt will start owing you

XGhost:
No nau. It's you guys that have been shifting the post since.
First y'all said it was impossible, then it's not sustainable, then your body and car will break down. Now you've separated cheerfulgiver. At least you've accepted his own.

My position ESPECIALLY regarding posting dashboard has always been, don't legislate for anyone what they can and can't post. It's obviously viewed differently by different people.
Secondly, I have an issue with rent being 25k AND drivers still telling stories
Thirdly, be balanced in your narrative. If you have bad days you must also have good days, say it.
Then allow the reader weigh the pros and cons as per his own unique situation and then decide.

Now if someone comes here and sees cheerfulgiver's 200k a week and based off of that ALONE he thinks the job is easy and without its cons what do you think of that person. He's either a fool or a thief.

We are all not balance in our narratives.
For example, the guy that made 20k yesterday and car in Lastma today if he post dashboard end of the week nobody will know, we will only be saying net 150k.
I bought two new tyres over the weekend still biting me body. It won’t reflect on my dashboard, Paid only FRSC 2,500 dis year.
I avoid Lastma and co like plagues
Only few people talk about bad days on this thread. If felicity001 talks about it too much we say is he the only one being caught by police or na village people.

Like you said anybody that wants to join should weigh options and go ahead. It’s not easy but it’s worth it

YeyeGbami:
Ìkòkò tí yio je ata ìdí rẹ̀ á gbóná. D pot wey go eat pepper, d yansh go feel fire.

This issue no need prolonged arguments, you want to drive all day and make 40K to 50K. It is possible just know that your body and your car go suffer am.

The only reason that i will drive from 5am to 11:30pm everyday na if i collect the car on rental and i get target to drive like 6 months straight and drop the vehicle.

Car wey i buy for personal use, i can’t try such with it. Forget say you dey make money, after 2 yrs na you go wonder say shey my car be this?

I started this bizness full time with 07 camry CE in 2016 when uber dey pay well, joined bolt 2017. I work like mad fast forward to 2019 the camry just say oto geh.

Sold camry add some money buy toks corolla 07, since then i don make up my mind. Offline trip majorly and some metered trips cos na you go suffer your loss alone after you don drive all around lagos.

Some of my guys wey dey chill around hotels for ajao estate, they will say they can’t do e hailing cos to them na shit. One trip in a day they fit see 50K if hotel guest wan commot, the other day fit dry but at least they know say dia car dey parked and resting.

Las las all man for himself, whatever decision you make na you go enjoy the outcome. This group na to share experience not to shut anybody down or look down on each other.

Please wey angryigboman? i miss that guy analysis. E.g offline to Badagry 25Million naira lol

Thank you boss, I don gentle.
Anybody that want to believe anything or go extra mile the floor is open.
It’s sounding like people abroad without papers telling you not to come abroad cos e no easy but you will say if it’s not easy why not come back to Nigeria as if Nigeria is better.
Ehailing Na hustle to make more money or put food on table.
Experience will teach people better

Pearl1910:
Bazzzoooo...how ur colleague take be military man na...abi u be military man too?

Sorry Na Xboys those people wey go NMS, wey dey form once military ever military.
If I be military I go don capture Lastma go barracks. Those people dey always hungry me to beat

Pearl1910:
No effect if you are using the latest Bolt App version.
Time and distance will keep reading until u end the trip irrespective of what rider sets.

But your ants drivers won’t agree, they still look for ways to scam. Not knowing say we dey dsame hustle.

Booked ride two ways (To and Fro) but guy man said he will cancel at first leg and do second leg offline?

How can a driver says 2nd trip don’t count, though at times it seems that way.
I tire for bolt self, u can’t defend dem.

VaselineCrew:
As in, absolute nonsense.

I am buying more pepper spray from yankee and a stun gun, by Gods grace.

Stun gun is that one that shocks people right?
A colleague has used it on a Lastma before, as d guy was stepping into the car he just shocked him and the Lastma started behaving like he was convulsing so other Lastma grabbed him. Na so he take off.
But Na military guy so assurance cover him, incase they catch him. But you what will you say happened? i wanted to buy it for traffic hold up thieves... if I see any hand inside my car Na to shock am.

VaselineCrew:
So today I parked my car at a the end of a bustop on ozumba, clearly away from oncoming traffic and even away from buses trying to use the bustop. I had pulled over to check my engine, so the hood was up.

Next thing I know, one lasma guy from nowhere came to my back and said “bros lemme talk to you”, I said okay, but I briefly looked back, that’s how I saw tow truck reversing towards my car.

Since 1 + 1 = 2, I figured they were trying to tow my vehicle, so I ran back to the car, put my hood down and entered the car. That’s how the tow guy too was trying to enter my car, omo, the way I zoomed off ehn. Plus my hand was already on my pepper spray in case he made it in, I would have knacked him 2 sprays right in the eye balls.

I just don’t know how it became illegal to troubleshoot your car on the road when it has car issues. I am all for law and order, but haba! So if it was a serious car problem, is that how they will just come tow my car, instead of offering assistance? Naija is the most useless country known to man.

Same thing happened to me last week.
Dropped rider in dolphin estate closing hours so everywhere stew drove out of dolphin to go position inside red hot stew na so, I saw on my dashboard that my tyre pressure is going down, for where, I must not stop cos of stew.
By the time I turned at that sharp bend tyre was already touching rim. Parked properly by the side of road, my double hazard light on and brought out my C-caution. I don’t want to waste time changing tyre so I dash to mechanic workshop at the corner. As I was trying to explain to them that I’m looking for Vulcanizer my tyre is flat. Two of them cut me short and started shouting they will tow your car ... me still trying to talk...
They will tow your car o, we dey tell you ...
Go carry your car .... go there go and drive it here. I said no now, C-caution , hazard light.
The guy shouted at me like his son to stop speaking English and go move my car before I pay 25k.
(25k ring for my head “my weekly net be dt” for wetin... Na so I jappa)
I had to go drive it like that ooh.
Then they sat me down and told me different stories.

It’s only in nigeria dt you will disobey traffic rules - tow your car
Your car breaks down - tow your car
Your miss your way and end up in one way - tow your car.
So annoying msheeewww

Pearl1910:
For the records, I don't believe your story.

Selah...
Do u think Cheerfulgiver is the highest earner in Bolt?
Or the only one making 150k every week??
It really amazes me when u say u have been in this business for the number of years u claim and still display this level of ignorance and naivety.
It's one thing not to be able to do it...that's understandable. What really annoys me is when u say it is not possible and u think u know what u r saying when infact what you are saying is erroneous and misleading. Even worse is your unwillingness to accept it, even when u see proof u will conjure excuses, or make up all the evil things that will go wrong to d person or his car.
I can show you a picture of Bolt highest earners in 2019 and 2020. Some back to back winners are there, there are lekpa, chubby and heavy people there. They aren't dead or gravely ill, we are still in thesame WhatsApp group interacting and sharing tips. I can display dashboard just to convince u it can be done consistently, I can meet with u so u see I don't have pot belly, pile or lost my sight. But guess what I don't have to proof anything to u again. I made u believe 100k net is doable without killing urself, I don't have the strength now to convince u that 150k is doable.
Hope u notice the only time we quarrel is when u post false Information. I don't have a problem with any bodies work habit or style. But just keep it personal, don't generalize.

Since that time I just dey see road back to back trips ( I will mark some part of somolu as no go area damn , my low Camry don scratch )

Baba I no get strength again to think or type.
Right now whatever you say you are right.

Add me to the whatsapp naaahhh. I no even dey any whatsapp or telegram group, una just edge me out. Let me join ants league una say no too.

I don’t agree with you but you are winning right now.

Abeg who unban pearl self ? He is about to start another argument oooh

XGhost:
First thing is, did I say my target is 200k?
My issue with you guys has always beenand will continue to be the constant pessimism. That, you have been very consistent with. So I ask you, is it that every time you come out to drive na tales of woe you de get? If that's it then I'd say it's not the same for me.

I'll also be the first person to say "to each his own". Do what works for. If you fall ill as often as you claim then I'd say something's not right. If you repair car as often or fall into uniform hands often, something's not right. These things don't happen to me as often. I haven't "settled" anybody in more than a year. Last I was ill was in January. Doesn't mean it won't happen too. You cannot carry a negative attitude to work and expect positive outputs. The universe does not work like that.
I also say every time some days are great and some days, not so. However one constant I will state everyday is, there is money to be made. The business never cast. I am making money. So much so I no longer target 10k net daily, that's too small. It's the mentality that's changing. It's the efficiency that's changing. I can now afford to take two days off and still meet the target. I get to spend time with my girlfriend everyday and still meet the target. I work less and make more, that's what I've taken from cheerfulgiver, it wasn't for me to make 200k a week.

We are not the same you and me, or me and cheerfulgiver. To each his own, let everyone do him. You like night work,I don't, I only drive at night weekends.
But I won't sit somewhere and tell someone who needs a fair and unbiased opinion to make what can be a life-changing decision that e-hailing is sh!t.



And Of course it's not the same figure everytime.
Below is the last 3 months. August is my first full month since cheerfulgiver showed up. Pay attention to the trajectory.

You guys are changing narratives or forgotten so soon. Nobody ever said the job don cast,
Nobody said there is no money in the hustle
Nobody is discouraging anybody.
The thread has been peaceful let me not talk too much.
But the Genesis of all this started from

Generation 1pearl1910/kanuisagoat &me) Earn fixed amount
Some folks said you can earn a particular amount every month 400k and save up every year just like salary earners.
Others said you can’t predict your earning every week cos of unforeseen situations.

Generation 2the whole thread scatter) uproar about posting dashboard or not.
Some folks said don’t post dashboard cos of insecurity and all
Others clamor for posting of dashboards.
Even dru23 drop money to support.
Okay, I’m indifferent about it but it will let us know the truth about consistency of earnings(unforeseen circumstances)
So it’s only you and CheerfulGiver that has been consistent in posting dashboard hence the mention. So let me sound like CheerfulGiver “if you don’t want me to call your name stop posting dashboard, as long as I see it I will analyze to proof my point not to discourage anybody or wish anybody evil”

Sweet trip don enter, sweet riders voice, later

Pearl1910:
2.7m in 3yrs is okay na Bazzo.
U want him to continue working in eatery?

If u are honest u should tell him it's possible to make 100k a week but some weeks when u r down u can make 50k and some other bad weeks u can make 30k. Tell him it's not easy but it is doable, tell him it will not be consistent o, but on good weeks he can make 150k sef. Compared to what he currently earns, he should weigh both hussles and make his choice. If the price of the car is too much, tell him to search for a cheaper car. At least these are your own believes... So why did u discourage him and in the same breath u r saying it's not like u like discouraging people.

I didn’t discourage him, calm down naah
I only told him he can’t be working in eatery and be doing ehailing and expect to pay back 2.7 M in 3yrs, feed his family, paying rent and children school fees and all, he should better save and buy Nigerian use for a start.
Fear God naah pearl1910.
Infact I told him about CheerfulGiver dashboard, the man shout and said really? But later said driving for too long have impact on your health in the long run. I shock self,
Abeg stop telling me someone can net 150k oooh. 100k I agree but just don’t go to that 150k in a week and don’t use Romeo3 de CheerfulGiver dashboard as example.
If I tell someone two side of a coin it’s left for the person to decide naah.

SHOOPSYN:
You can not review price on Bolt again. Send them mail, give them full details of what happened, add evidence where necessary and you will be compensated fully if you are justified.

Bolt don step up fully , 100% matching Uber
See message

CheerfulGiver:
Not everyone can play in the champions league. If you don't qualify, play Europa league and remain there.

That I make 200k weekly is because I want to and because I have cut off baggage that frees up my time and then I plan my time properly. Posting dashboard here isn't asking anyone to make 200k, but that if I can make 200k, anyone can. Not everyone targets 200k. Some targets are 150k. If someone makes 200k, it's then possible for another to make 150k.

You talk of doctors and pilots bla bla, why do you always have to compare? I came out to say I don't keep friends because they make me lose focus, you complained that I should have friends. When I post the results of not having friends, another issue.

The facts are there. Anyone can increase their earnings if they deny themselves things that may eventually be unnecessary. But will they?

You can't visit friends and party every weekend and make 200k. You have to choose which is more important to you. You can't eat your cake and have it.

I'll keep posting to make people change their mentality. There are lot of people here who have it in them to make more than 200k, they just haven't found themselves yet. All they need is to re-evaluate their circumstances and decide what they really want in this life, and to who they owe their allegiance. Friends, or self.

I always try to compare to give intending drivers options and ideas to make up their mind.
I’m not discouraging them but let them weigh the two information. I met a guy yesterday who works in an eatery and wants to get Corolla on HP for the hustle. Told him wrong move, how do you pay 2.7m in 3yrs? A lot of people are rushing into this hustle probably bolt advert of earn 350k per month.

CheerfulGiver:
Why are these complains alien to me?

I was only talking to my fellow lazyD, former lazyD cos he said he’s now with you in ant leagues. I can’t drive everyday morning to night again, it’s impossible. I did that in the days of farenhz, I broke down twice while driving never again. I will take a day off, even Pilot and hostesses, doctors take days off.
The only problem I have is that your followers dashboard is not as consistent as yours?
Every other person posting dashboard e.g XGhost is not same figure every month.
But when I was shouting untop my voice then it’s doable but not consistent pearl1910 will use you as yard stick. I can someone work Monday to sunday every month... how ? Na machine ?
I know d next thing they will say is they are consistent but won’t post dashboard unless there is money on ground.
So many people have followed u motivation and broken down but won’t be sincere to come out.

I don wake let’s hit d street before lazyD dem wake up.

What of the money he's owing Felicity?

Hmmmm dis man, how do I answer this when I have a consignment coming.
Until I get my Freon before I know who is telling the truth.

Even my follow come compressor is on the way to pack up. Abeg you get correct AC technician who can help replace my compressor neatly without vibrating. I will prefer someone around Ogba Ikeja axis wey no go tear my pocket o.

I only know of one sure guy around Clegg in Surulere Paso. He changed mine and no problem since then.
I dey expect one Freon Ac gas from Dru23 when, Consignment land to top off my gas.

Dru23 a man of timber and caliber

CheerfulGiver:
I don't know about others, but for me, my only engagements and social life are my parents, my siblings, my fiancee and small side hustle once once. Anything else, I'm not interested. They are distractions and a waste of time and money. No friends. I had fake friends. Was even poisoned by best friend. Na there my head correct.

Wedding, occasions no dey finish. Since I was 5 years old, there have always been weekend weddings and engagement. I'll rather build my dreams now that I can, and attend weddings and social engagements later. Since I cut off my friends, I haven't died but have gotten better cos I have more time and realized they were my stumbling block

Later when ?
When you are Baba 70 years old , no vacation, no leave, no transfer.
I will rather be chupping life small small and making money than to rake all the money now and start going to Bahamas at old age and you can’t stroll for 5mins.
You need friends/people for network, u can’t stand alone.

Well body no be wood oh make u take am easy.

Gentlelife50:
Na so that's why I keep wondering if all these guys that drive everyday don't have engagements? No weddings, occasion or other things? Just be driving everyday moving (Lagos) traffic?

That’s why one of the criteria to join ants league is to ask if you are married or single ?
Gay or lesbian ? E get why

Part 2
We got the exact belt type and took a bike again to the express where my car was parked with my rider inside. This guy came to fix belt o. And in the process spoilt my power steering pump as he was trying to forcefully put the belt onto the alternator pulley. Omo na so my power steering fluid empty o. Chai I weak. From frypan to fire. I had to arrange for a towing vehicle to tow it to the mechanic village o atleast for safety. My rider checked himself into a hotel(cos it was already too late) after yelling and regretting embarking on the journey . Not that he was angry with me o. I think he felt it was happening because of him. Me I gats sleep inside my car for mechanic village o. Man don suffer today. Now no movement in the east tommorow. So before we can do anything to that car, it has to be on Tuesday. The thing dey pain me as I dey type sef


God help me

It is well bro, una wey dey do interstate dey try ooh.
The guy wey go fix belt Na mechanic or road side hustler cos why u go make dt kind mistake ?

So you go sleep inside car for 2 days damnnn

Gentlelife50:
Na this kyn post u dey like,
Anything to promote laziness, the person doing it get two head?
But I can't even try it because other engagements won't even allow me, last Saturday my neighbor's wedding.
I was poised to hit at least 40k that day but he kept pleading with me to release my cars to them that one won't be enough.
I tried to beg off and even suggested Uber for them but the Uber guys didn't want to go to satellite town, one agreed to do offline but 10k when he arrived he said 12k last because there were loads in addition to human beings.
I had no option than to succumb , up till now shishi I never see.
On Sunday I had to go check a friend at the hospital, that was how that weekend just go like that.
Today just like every Sundays I always have programs, if no be other engagements like wedding and parties I for do am.

Lazy BAZOO1

I just dey watch since, experience is the best teacher. I just pity myself dis weekend.
A friend was getting married so we hanged out on friday evening my aim was to leave them around 8pm and go hustle till 12, but them no gree leave me and I can’t tell them what I was going to do. My body was just biting me until it dawn on me that I don’t have weekend life again, Na so so rabbit life every Fri&sat. Mshewww
Saturday was wedding got home around 9pm , I don’t drive on sundays before.
I just dey look dashboard dey vex but my body is refreshed and activating plan C cos i see guys doing other legit hustle and still have time and weekends to themselves.

MoonlightDrive:
Health is Wealth... don't let anybody posting working 7days a week and bragging, as if that is a wise decision, fool you. Is it sustainable, without deterioration to ones health in the long run.
While i love to read about all the back to back request, I don't wish any of you back to back visit to different hospital specialist, when you decide to move from uber to plan B, the choices you made yesterday have grave implication for the future.
My sympathy to those drivers on HIre Purchase, whose wives are currently out of work due to the pandemic, the Good Lord will see you through.
To those pushing drivers to go beyond their reasonable limits, may our action not turn innocent children to orphans and wives to widows. Let us be compassionate and balanced, kindly remember not everybody's DNA is wired the same.
DRIVING FOR LONG HOURS IN TRAFFIC IS A SILENT KILLER, A WORD OF ADVICE IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!

Thanks for this post,
A word is a enough for the wise.
Just like lia mohamed will see truth and decide to look away from it. some people will not agree with you.
Don’t bother, whatever they say they are right
People that will make use of this info will do

Thanks for sharing.

VaselineCrew:
First day has been kinda rough ooo

My tyre blew up on the second trip, had to call it quits and head home to recharge my mind.

Guess I’m in the lazy driver league now.

This is one of the reason I tell people not to borrow money to fix car to start dis hustle or use all their life savings / resign job to get a car.
Imagine if u don’t have any money to buy another tyre first day in the job?
My first 3months in d hustle I changed compressor and condenser e be like some juju dey welcome people to d hustle.
Though some had a smooth start but plenty story to tell.

For where I no go gree you stay lazyD league mbanu. You have the spirit, attitude, anger and mouth of ants. No space for you here, just go and net 100k weekly.
You are doing well

Until match finish before MOD go update scores.
E come be like say dem cancel man utd goal

VaselineCrew:
Okay so they were looking for cars that were scratch free and it was hard for cars with major scratches to scale through. The dude was even pointing out minor scratches on some cars.

Then they check to make sure that your ac works and your interior is good.

I had to actually go see a panel beater to align my bumper properly, before the inspector passed me.

So to summarize, the exterior must be relatively scratch free, bumpers aligned correctly, AC working, seats and all in good shape.

If bolt can maintain this standard
1. Bolt cars will be relatively neat every 6months
2. Coro boys won’t be driving like James Bond up and down, dragging roads with everybody.
3. Riders won’t underate drivers again, unlike going to pick up with Coro booth tied with ropes.

Vaselinecrew u are a case study, we will all love to hear your experience on first ride and first week.

You sound like someone dt have d combination of cheerful + feli but with humor

We dey look u
