Yes but it was just 30mins away from pick up time. So I immediately started driving towards the pick-up point because there was traffic on that route. Not like this ur own that's overnight.

Okay.

Pearl1910:


U are supposed to be driving towards the location of the request. Or is it next door to u already?
After accepting, u are supposed to confirm your availability within 1hr of the trip time and start driving towards the pick-up.

Also Riders can still cancel just like normal trips. So if it disappeared, then perhaps d Rider has cancelled the trip.

Okay. Thanks.

But have you ever used the option before?

Omoapena:


no, we get 75%
20% commission
5% booking fees

Oh. Okay. Thanks for the explanation.

Omoapena:


tax deduction.
it's around 5% of your earnings, it's called booking fees.

Okay. Thanks. So in essence, we get 70% of what riders pay, since Bolt takes 25% cut, and then this 5% booking fee. It is well.

Omoapena:


I have no proper understanding of how it works, I don't use it but there was a time I got scheduled request ringing as normal request on my phone.

I think when someone that accepted it in advance missed it, they will send out the request to nearby driver, that must have happened in your case.

Okay. Thanks.

VnAhunnaPl:
Peter Obi is the only candidate that can give Tinubu a good fight.

Yes. He needs an influential northerner as vice though. Cos even with all the charity he has been doing in the north lately, does guys still won't vote for him, unless he gets a very influential northern vice.

If he can get an influential northern vice and have PDP's backing, he will be unstoppable.

melanch:
Excellent work! Next, let's focus on planning train routes from Lagos to Calabar, including strategic stopovers along the way.

Construction of train tracks along the full length of the road begins this year.

jeff1607:
A train track would have been better,

Train tracks will also run along the full length of the road. The construction for that will start this year.

jesus247alive:
I drove pass it and it's an amazing project, the speed is just amazing.

I've not been there but I can imagine how it looks. I remember when I went to Togo like 15 years ago, they have this beautiful coastal road with a lot of hotels solid structures along the road. It was so beautiful and the road was so smooth and solid. This is the vision I have of this road.

givedemwotowoto:
We already know it will start from Lagos and end in the SW even if it goes beyond Lagos, the rest will be part of 2027 campaign promises

Lol

Guys, abeg which one is this "deduction" from Bolt again? Please I'm new to the business..I started last week.

Scheduled Ride

Please I need someone to fully explain this scheduled ride thing on Bolt to me.

I started Bolt driving in Lagos just last week. So last night, I was moving around the app and saw an option for scheduled rides. I clicked and saw there was one for today at 7:30am. I accepted the request. I now saw that I have to be online 45 minutes before the ride, which is 6:45am. I woke up early, went to buy fuel, and parked outside my house by 6:30am. When I checked the place the scheduled ride was on the app, that particular ride I had earlier confirmed had disappeared. I was disappointed.

I saw another one again for 9am this morning. I clicked on it, and confirmed/booked it down, but when I checked at 8:15 it had disappeared again.

Is there anyone here that uses this feature? Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.


Omoapena, pearl1910

Yes, you will most likely regret it. I used to think like you too when i was in my 20s and even in my 30s. But it hit me some time in my early 40s.

Humans are social animals by nature...even though I've always been a loner, I still loved some time with close friends and family once in a while. But when those family and friends start building their own family and no longer have time for you, you start having an existential crisis...you start wondering if you're really making the right decision by not getting married and having kids.

There are little joys that comes with being a parent that you can't quantify. And I'm not talking about what some people have been saying above like having someone to send on errands or having someone to take care of you when you're old. That's cool, but there are other little things like seeing a human being that's a part of you, and seeing yourself in him...let me give you an example.

During my late 20s and most part of my 30s, I was away from my family...I hardly came home. So when I started getting closer to my parents again in my 40s, I would some times drive them to church. I look a lot like my dad and his friends are always surprised that he has another son that they never knew, that is doing okay for himself, and looks just like how he looked when he was my age. When they start going on and on about the resemblance and they ask questions about me with him there, I always see that joy in his eyes...that fulfilment. As I said it can't be quantified.

When me and my other siblings visit my parents and they bring their kids, you can't explain the joy they feel. It wasn't easy all through the journey, but right now in their late 70s/early 80s, they're fulfilled. By the way, I'm not married...I'm getting married later this year. I'm 43.

I don't regret not marrying early...I had to learn some lessons in life. I'm just happy I made up my mind before I got to 50.

plaindealer:



This is the most damaging, sad and embarrassing part of the Professor's takedown, Peter Obi's political party and identity is the term obidient, obi is the head and the leader of the obidient mob, so for the Professor to categorically assert that he's unable to relate to something as obedient and the obedient family, the so-called fascist mob says more than a lot about Obi himself and the kind of people he leads.

Sometimes I really do feel sorry for this obi man, as a politician and a presidential candidate in Nigeria, you need a strong support base, but he's so unlucky that his support base is toxic people, intolerant bigots, and utter fascists that he can nor run away from or criticize or even beg to stop attacking, insulting and bullying opponents, the so-called obidient mob are his only base and if I might add, many of them are ipob sympathizers, another reason why Obi till today won't say anything against ipobs and this is another reason why the professor can not relate to the so-called obidient and obi himself, their leader.

The professor is not dumb or clueless to the fact that Obi sat quietly and did not say a word or even caution his fascist mob sto stop attacking, abusing and insulting the professor, he sat back and enjoyed every minute of it, now the coward and circus clown visited the professor as if nothing happened.

[b]Obi is a very dishonest, untrustworthy and manipulating [/b]scum and I'm glad the professor called him out and his fascist obidients.

You have described him perfectly. Listening to that his leaked audio with Oyedepo told me all I need to know about Obi.

IyaebeTheGreat:
Obi is over stressing himself, involving himself in everything and it's telling on him, he used to be a handsome man, he needs to relax, accept defeat and go for vacation. I don't know how some people will still believe he has any mandate to reclaim, same people that believed Buhari is Jubril El Sudan. You people should stop leading him on and let him rest.

It will be hard for him to accept defeat, even though he knows deep down that he lost the elections...He can't accept because he probably got soooo much donation from people, home and abroad, so he has to give his sponsors hope that he can still become the president...but trust me, he knows he didn't win.

SmartyPants:
It's now he knows he doesn't accept those behaviours.

Something you would have denounced emphatically when they were going after people aggressively. Unfortunately, he probably thought it was helping his cause.

and just look at the deceitful statement:



Even lying that those insulting others are not Obidients instead of owning up to the act, forgetting that much earlier he had already endorsed them as his followers when he claimed that Obidients insult because they are angry.

Exactly. I remember when he said that.

001Lagos:
As a guy, I can't just imagine a life without drinking but in a responsible way ..

I feel you. I had to give up drinking last year because of health reasons, but damn, life is so boring without drinking once in a while. I'm happy to be alive, but I really miss having that bottle of Legend every once in a while.

1Sharon:
The thing I don't understand Is why must it always be a very old man??

Why not a man in his 40s at least?

Like someone above said, these kinds of arrangements are made by children of old men that don't have time to take care of their father...they find a young bride for him that will play the role of a maid and a companion...and she will be financially rewarded, even after the man passes.

Fake story

Exactly. Too many fake stories making front page these days.

After watching the full interview, I have to say this is the best I have seen Tinunbu in recent times. It's almost like he is a different person here. No blunders...very fluent.

Favvy1:
Well I guess you've heard on the inflation? Yes I know you've heard. Well am about to slip the tip on the next best thing and how to still keep your business out of water and it's to stop importation. Mini importation to be precise, with rate of dollar and shipping fee going above the roof, you are just going to make a whole lots of lost at the end of the day you'll end up losing money and your customers. Do this instead go back to the old way of sourcing order using people who have big market and are big time importers, this way you get to keep you customers and also make profit now this is why meeting up with a presentative from @_blinglifestyle was like a message from God telling me not to give up. I mean they help me get amazing quality of jewelries a customer ask for and Al rehad perfume for 4300 for perfume I import for 3500 sold for 5k well my customer will also make their own profit. Incase you don't know I myself help small business source order and I sell base on quantity. So you'll not shout when you see that I only made 700 naira it's actually 700×12. Then times 6 other person's wink. So please head over to Instagram and dm @_blinglifestyle tell them what you want wether is to pay your supplier in Dubai, china or to send money to Ghana and south African or to help you get wholesale order with next day delivery. Abeg just try @_blinglifestyle let's not let hardship wound us.

GloriousGbola:
History will not smile on David hundeyin for this misguided nonsense.

He had created a smear on abiola that will grow a life of its own and outlive whatever silly game he is playing.

5,10 20 years from now this rubbish will be a so called 'fact'.

Some will even say abiola was imprisoned for drug pushing.

What a fame obsessed child

This is so true. This is one thing I tell people when they wonder why I go hard on Nigerian bloggers that post unconfirmed stories... In the future, people will read these posts and take them as fact.

Endsarspillar:

I love your narrative, maybe it’s a mindset thing.
And what do say about his super mod defending Tinubu, it’s also a mindset game ?

His super mod has a mind of his own... his super mod is not Seun. If Seun was biased, he wouldn't have even allowed that David Hundeyin post alleging that Tinubu is a drug dealer to appear on his forum. But he is unbiased...he lets everything be posted, and you the reader make up your mind on what you want to believe.

Endsarspillar:
Fiam, take it to front page!

But if it’s Peter Obi, then you know the story.
I'll be bold and say that the owner of this playground called Nairaland is determined to tarnish the image of a specific region. His contempt for those people was revealed on Twitter, for which he later apologized.


For his b!voted mods, you can do-your worst

lol. If you follow Seun on Twitter, you'll know he bashes Tinubu...he is not a Tinubu supporter. You just chose to see what you want. There are as much Peter Obi posts on Front Page of Nairaland as they are Tinubu posts.

tunjijones:


Normal normal nairaland is a very toxic place filled with hatred and insane people.

The tribalism, the hatred is so much. There is nobody on nairaland that has not been affected with this toxicity both online and especially offline.

.

That's very true. Nairaland has turned people that weren't tribalists before to tribalists...but I don't like how the guy is making it seem like Nairaland is biased with this...they let all the hate flourish...whether Yoruba bashing Igbos, Igbos bashing Yorubas, etc.

Smithkafors:
This election is between PDP and Labor. Tinubu will come distant 4th.

HAHAHA! I laugh at guys like you that make statements like this. I'm not voting or supporting Tinubu, but if you think the man is not a threat, you're ignorant to how Naija politics works.
