Togobroz:
Happy new month to everyone and I wish to thank God for his grace so far.

I have been a hustler for long trying to make ends meet and at a point I was able to save about 1.5million naira to travel to China but unfortunately I was duped and my hard earned money went to voicemail. I kept struggling and saving money to go to Europe but I was denied visa twice to two different countries and then I gave up.

I decided not to travel again but the stress and insecurity in Nigeria has been worrisome especially in my region so I decided to travel to any french speaking African country and just experience a whole new different life outside Nigeria. My initial plan was to go to Burkina Faso or Equitorial Guinea and I did some research that would guide me as I didn't know anyone in both countries and I was just determined to go on this adventure myself.

I saved up some money which got to almost 3 million naira and then I crossed my heart and made my trip. From Nigeria I crossed into Benin Republic and then to Togo where I was supposed to cross to Burkina Faso. On getting to Togo it was quite late so I had to pass the night in a cheap hotel of 2000cfa franc. In the hotel I met some Nigerians going to Ghana with some friends based in Togo. I was hearing their conversations as they drank at the bar while I sat alone with a bottle of their local beer Castle.

You write well enough, so I'll device you start a chronicle for the 1yr you will be living there. If possible, do short videos as well. Harness the possibilities of using social media, more like content creation and see where it leads.

I forgot to add bad water pump.

If it is an issue with a bad water pump I believe with or without ac I should still have the issue. Was at Atan(Ogun state) yesterday and entire trip lasted 5hrs to and from with traffic without any issues except I didn't put on the ac.

stephenponti:
Check these
1. Blocked catalytic converter
2. Clogged muddy comdenser & radiator
3. Low water/ fluid on reservoir or leakage
4. Non efficient fan
5. Stuck temostart

I'm not sure I still have (1)&(5)
Will look into (2)&(4)
(3) is not the problem

Ewo... protocol should be bypassed ke. Maybe in his police headquarters, not in a private estate. Whether they recognize him or not. He should wait for his host to call d gate. Do u know d caliber of people living on that estate? Commissioner of police na their boy

Even person when senior am for rank hushpuppy send am message go tailor, how much more cp of Lagos.

Pearl1910:
Check and change d fan. if ur car uses double fan then the AC fan is bad, if it's single fan then d motor is getting weak and it's not blowing at optimum speed again.

My car makes use of double fan. However, I have not tried checking to see if a/c fan blows or stops anytime the issue starts. Will try and take note next time.

yommie007:
Check fan

Fan too works fine.

sharpk007:
Ur radiator fins re bad, Goan blow it

This issue only happens when a/c is on but not with normal operation even if am in traffic for for several hours.

Good people of this forum,recently I noticed that any time i put on the a/c the temp of my car goes up. Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks.

Lasisieniola77:
I am also in the same dilemma and i need the reviews too. I am also considering APTECH

Why not go to co-creation hub in yaba, that place is like the silicon valley of Nigeria. Get yourself registered with them and enjoy being in a community of programmers... everything tech.

Good morning comrades, please a friend urgently needs to buy gear for his rav4 03 model, heading to ladipo right now. Any connect please?

Pearl1910:
Lolz...anything is possible baba...person wey tell me say he can change card trip to cash trip. Afraid catch me. And as I don hear say that thing they increase fare, I didn't want to wait to find out the outcome.

Afraid catch me on your behalf. Some people are miracle workers. But if I where you I would not have cancelled, as we learn everyday, it would have been interesting to know how he would have changed the trip from card to cash trip.

confusedworld17:
I picked up one Pino Pino from Bera estate. The rider's dressing was so revealing that she was very uncomfortable anytime I looked at the passenger's side mirror, she would just be adjusting her dress as if na her I dey look.
On lekke/epe express, I noticed that those security guys didn't close my boot well. So I had to pull over to close it very well and then hurriedly got back into my car.

After driving for some seconds, noticed that due to the hurry, I wasn't sitting comfortable... I was some how pressing my balls. I tried to adjust but no way, the thing don dey pain me small small.

To free my self, I go need put my hand inside my trouser to adjust my "ngwo ngwo". Ha! this rider that was already thinking that I was looking at her, what would she now think if she saw me put my hand in my trouser ?

Anytime she looked the other way, I go wan quickly adjust, but then she would turn again and be looking forward.

My break through came at one of the traffic lights, where she wanted to buy gum, I said to my self that this is the perfect time to do it. While she was talking to the guy selling gum, as I was about to adjust my things, na so she turn to ask me to borrow her money, na so my hand just freeze for air. Immediately she face the shewing gum guy, I put hand free my self.
Inside me I said "What a ride!"

Hope your ac was on bro, I can't imagine this playing out in a hot car?

pocohantas:
What is MO here? Modus Operandi?

Would love to meet you in person, albeit not for any sinister reason just that you seem to me like you're quite intelligent.

northbird:
ROI for the rental mode on Uber/ Bolt is very poor.

With 500k, there are businesses that will return 75-85k monthly. That's an average of 15% monthly. Just with 500k.

Uber rent mode can't give you 15% monthly. You can take this analysis to the bank. That's the main reason Moove switched to Innoson, ROI

"There are businesses", yet you guys will never mention one.

Godfather10:
Eyinola God will bless you O’Jare, person wey don spend over 27yrs in London should think of coming home, lets see what what £150,000 can do in Niger, by the way amongst other businesses l want to do, will putting 15 cars on e-hailing as a start be a wise investment, what do you folks think.

Why not look for distributorship for fast moving products. You have the money, companies will beg you for business.

pocohantas:
I can assure you she came from Bolt. She thought Uber is like Bolt where she would get away with fraud. No veteran Uber rider would pull such stunt. We are too premium for such.

Our destination na VI, Ikoyi, Ikate. We no dey go Ologolo and the likes by 10pm.

Pocohantas, what's your MO!? Just curious.

You want to add petrol to something they are using kerosene to burn.
You and tunlapapa have now been given supporting actors roles in this world war 3 comedy.

You're wise! Too much probing can warrant slap from back seat o.

Are you thevisit?

Abeg comot here joh!
As if this is not naija where one has to look over his shoulders before making any transaction, making it worse is it being an online transaction.
It was on the same thread that someone was scammed for driver's licence renewal, on the same thread one scammer claimed to be a doc, so you expect people that witnessed such should just keep quiet and watch scammmers have a good day?

And by the way, he was only asked to apply caution so what's the fuss all about?

Save your energy. If he's not a dubious character his response will be a bit civil. He should put up a link to a thread where he's carried out deals successfully and if he is new to the business, which is okay, then a subtle way to lure clients should be used instead he is here fighting.

IFSHR:
Bolt app is the reference bro not Uber..

Fair enough. However my point still remains valid. These apps will never discard time difference between pickup point and the point the trip was started because of that singular factor...driver may not remember to start the trip at pickup point.

mejai:
Lol! I can't be under the tree.
The guy was to deliver an item but the trip didn't go down well with the rider( she was in an event). The rider requested and got me. As the first guy was loading the item, he asked me if I had started the trip, which I told him yes. He was trying to lecture me on how to leave it on paid waiting then activate start trip after like 15/20 mins.
I just dey look an dey laff

Don't mind me bro, was only just being sarcastic. My take really on this issue is that if drivers in Lagos and as far as owerri are doing this then something must be working for them.

Pearl has argued from the point of view of distance covered but failed to also factor in the fact that the app companies may have also considered that drivers may also forget to start a trip from pickup location. Its a program, so they will be alot of if...elseif to consider.

However, to ease tension on this argument, for those who drive on the bolt platform can stylishly ask and see what their response will be.

Felicity001:
From your analogy your right bolt will calculate the total distance covered but on this particular instance without diversion or introduction of point C, D or E the bolt app will calculate the estimated distance for the trip and calculate the time in addition. Order a ride n try it to see for yourself.

A bolt driver had done it to me few months ago before. I'll look for the receipt and share if I see it.

This is why I like the Uber app, if you're starting a ride out of the PU threshold you must input a code from the rider's app and your start up point will be where you started the ride n not where the original PU is

I think the code thing only happens when the ride is booked for you by someone else where and its card. I maybe wrong sha.

IFSHR:
Felicity, I beg to differ with that part I highlighted, bolt don't calculate the estimated km, they calculate the actual kilometer covered... Judging from your postulate, are you saying if a driver picks someone at point A going to point B and the rider introduced a point C and D, before arriving to point B, the app will only calculate the estimated km for point A to Point B ?, False..... Bolt app calculate the actual km covered, any idiot driver that starts a trips minutes after picking up a rider is only undermining his earnings, if he thinks he is beefing up paid waiting, as the trip km covered only starts when he starts the ride.

I don't support fraud and cheating, but some of this rider won't come out clean on how they delayed the driver as well.

I beg to differ with your position. However correct me if am wrong. During my uber days, most times I'll already be on a trip before remembering I haven't started the trip. Now the moment I click on start trip, the app would ask if I want to start the trip from pick up location even after I have driven from pickup location.
