the elderly ones, 97.3fm, local/Moslem, bond fm, Gboys, 98 5fm, 96.9fm, 96.5, corporate, 99.3fm

98.1 is similar to 97.3. Pure old skool and classical music. I listen to them a lot.

Pleas any trusted contact on car registration in Lagos?

i just want to believe that certain circumstances is preventing you from being present to have this things done personally. you could reach out to this guy:

07063406058
His name is segun and he works with vio at the ikotun secretariate. Give him a call.

IFEBARBIE:
thanks for the detailed piece. Really appreciate! I told him 20k, he shouted! I came down to 15k. Still expecting his call

Just saw this this morning. Since its LASU side, you're good to go and honestly, 15k too much. Anything between 8k-10k is fine. Road is good all the way to iyana iba.

Amen my pope. The universal law of attraction says you attract what you think mostly about. So if you think olosho and bad riders too often then that is what you get.

“ Good conversation “ easiest way to light oven without paying money.

Just continue i understand you.

On that particular day the ride happened she was quite generous, so I sent her a text of appreciation.

Got another ride from Anthony to ologolo, while I was in lekki phase 1 my phone rang

Rider: I just called to let you know I am home
Me: very well. Once again, thanks for your generosity
Rider: your welcome but I should thank you more for being patient while I made those stops
Me: it's easy to be patient to a nice person

End of story. However, we've been friends ever since.

On second thought, Baz, whenever you pass ojo barracks, make you come inside e get wetin I for like show you.

Chief I've done it before one time like that before I joined the hustle. I was heading to a conference in VI, naso this piss hold me ontop 3MB at a time when google map was saying "you are in 59 minutes delay". Early morning rush hour.

I cleared off the road, put on hazard light and went behind the car to do my thing.

Another time I was travelling out of lagos, from the island I decided to use Eko bridge to connect ikorodu road, that time when 3MB was under maintenance. Got to funsho Williams Bridge around 8am, naso I jam this evil traffic, stand still. There's this urine that has been holding me from house but I was in hurry to beat traffic, my plan was to stop at a Kara before Longbridge to ease myself.

I couldn't hold it anymore. I told my babe who was still a learner as at them to come sit behind the wheel incase the traffic starts moving

E get some piss wey go hold you, you go find how to let it out. Bladder they expensive o

Last week sef I told a rider to wait for me make I use the chicken Republic restroom before we proceed on the trip. Na human being I be no be robot.

E get some piss when dey lead to shit. That kind piss dey fear me like ki lo de!

XGhost:
Fun fact. I used to only ask destination at night. The uncertainty of picking random people going to random places gave me some weird kind of kick. I'm a very curious person and that randomness is one of the perks of the job for me. It very interesting.

I seriously consider bad roads and traffic prone areas while accepting trips. Since I do strictly Indriver I wouldn't want to go to a place that I might spend the entire day on one trip only for peanuts.

Felicity001:
But I shared with you guys the other Wednesday I did 21 trips...

Impossible is nothing my brother.

Just say it to rhe universe and set your body and mind to it then see how it happens.

Where do you guys do this twenty something trips that you talk about, is it Lagos or at the edge of Lagos because this Lagos traffic is a serious something.

dav1002:
Again i noticed i don't see well at nights looking through the windshield the ray of light from other cars affects me but if i look out the window i can see clearly. What could be wrong guys?

to this, your eyes will adjust. had similar issues to the point that i almost got night vision glasses, funny right? however, that glare is something i believe a lot of drivers experience too so dont let it frezak you out, well except maybe you have eye problems, in that case your might need to minimise driving at night.

kanuisagoat:
You mean the one that wants to visit me at 10pm probably just wants a good conversation?

Neither did she say she was coming for intimacy. All i am saying is be nice to the ones who are easy to be nice to.

XGhost:
From my experience using Uber this week, I think what Uber is lacking is drivers. Rides poured in back to back. Even with both apps on, Uber requests came in first.
But pickup distances no be here o. It's gotten much worse now. 10km pickups were sooo frequent, I just weak. It's a terrible shortage of drivers. But rides don't stop. I completed 10 today but must have ignored up to 20

My fear really is not the pick up time and distance, i know what i drive most times on indriver to pick a rider. Mostly what i fear is the destination. Nothing fear me pass unknown destination like free knacks laced with sweetie.

kanuisagoat:
That na her problem .

Besides, oven lighters like pope191 abound to pick her up from the disappointment she got from me

Guy, treat your ladies right, quite a number of them are sweet hearts. Just got off the phone with a lady rider I carried a couple of days back, and last night, we talked for 2hrs +, very intelligent, polite and smart lady. A lot of them out there dont want you to light their ovens, they just need good conversation.

MoonlightDrive:
Has Bolt awakened uber Naija the sleeping ride-hailing giant
Feli what is likely to be Bolt response.
Cheerfulgiver a data comparison needed.
Crvrider will you still remain loyal to indrive?
Good times ahead for drivers!

I think this is just what uber needs to make that come back. Prolly, pocoloko don give them advice, she's probably somewhere smiling sheepishly. Honestly speaking I am just too lazy for this, in fact the campaign is not for me. Did you say 25trips!? Mbanu, i can't come and die before my time.

Gudvibes06:
Thanks to everyone on this thread I really appreciate your kindness, yes waited for the rider for more than 2 hours but at the end I don't think I'll ever do that again, she came out and changed the destination and we left at the end of the rip her fare was 6,300 and tipped with 3000 which was very annoying cos I could not do more than one trip afterwards I was coming to mainland Uber refused to let me set destination and all the trip I was getting within lekki which I can't take cos of it's was around 9:30 already and I need to get off the road b4 12am to avoid police wahala so I had to come all the way from ologolo to abule egba empty but I thank God with her 3k tip I was able to net 17k bought fuel of 4k, I opened the app around 10am and got home 11pm. I know I can be better. Thanks to you all for your love may God bless our hustle.

But you could have as well used Indriver to get a trip home instead blowing empty.

eyinola:
most times i can't even say this is how my rider looks like, if u sit beside me sef using passengers mirror becomes problem for me , she go be like say na her face i wan look..omo i shy for women die

Can I not look at my own side mirrors in peace?

Noone7:

Lastly, its obvious now say no be only total card you dey pursue.

Pearl1910:
I have noticed one too around Akute area...anytime am in Akute or Ojodu between 10am and 1pm. Always putting Ajah area as destination with 5 or 6k price.
I keep asking myself, shey na everyday this guy they go Ajah from Akute? He has done about 80 trips, I don't want to believe that's 80 cars stolen or robbed or duped but it's suspicious. And I may be wrong.

This one still get rating. This other guy I am talking about, his status has always been new user.

Gentlelife50:
If it's not Nigeria I for say

Feli dey sound like him no know how e dey go for naija.

chillex8:
Also, there are more armed robbers and killers as riders on bolt than any other app.

Then, avoid 5.0 rated riders at night.
Personally, i don't even pick 5.0 rated riders in the daytime no matter the surge multiplier.

There's actually sense in what you've said. There use to be this guy on Indriver who will always request trips to far areas and its usually ajar, funny thing is that despite seeing his request pop up, it always shows "new user"

FuckEveryday:
If Uber doesn't add it, you can add it urself.
Personally I work alot at night, and I don't carry more than 1guy or 1guy and a Lady, but can carry 3 ladies. There's a lot of trips at night to think if you get to destination and you're not comfortable with a trip and you cancel it, you'll not find another one. Immediately u cancel and drive away from the riders I can assure u you'll get another trip.

I know it's God that saves, but I'll rather have one guy to deal with, than 2-3guys.

How late into the night do you work? I take style like night work too.

Pearl1910:
There are many Ajah Guys bro...Ajah is notorious for Uber/Bolt car jacking. Both day time and night time.

I don't accept any trip that goes beyond the second lekki toll. So, when I click on a request and i see its gone beyond that point, I don't just bother. Indriver gives me a lot of flexibility which gives me peace of mind

pocohantas:
Someone here already said it is filled with aggressive young boys. You want make them commot my teeth?

We @ Indriver are not aggressive, we just want make our money correct that's all. We don't take riders through long routes unnecessarily cos for us time is of the essence. Small boys ke!

Felicity001:
They do bro... Just do as I said on my post go to the right place you'll get it.

the only way they said it was possible is if the tint doc was back dated to before the ig made the announcement.

northbird:
We should always ask for help and guidance from divinity to shield us from the accursed ones, the sons of perdition ( cos of corolla, the accused snuffed out the life of another human being like you) , Chai...

I still maintain it, whether Uber or Bolt, no one can force me to complete an order, even if I pick it and my mind is not at peace with the riders. I'm not going, worst case, you
yank me off your app. Safety first.

It won't stop the ehailing coys from making money, we shouldn't forget, the case of the Ajah guy, though, Bolt said he wasn't on a trip, but we all know, guy man was positioning for a trip in the wee hours of the morning when tragedy struck.

What exactly happened to the ajah guy? Didn't hear the story.

Coketols:
I got a sworn affidavit for loss of tinted permit certificate and a letter from the office of the area commander for Area F, Ikeja.
I was told these documents can suffice as tinted permits.

Please is it tenable to avoid police harassment for my tinted glasses?

I really can't say if any of these doc can redeem you if you're ever stopped for tint issues, especially if its the nylon tint. For your peace of mind just yank it off. I have seen a couple of cars on the road lately where the owners have attempted to rip theirs off...I guess they've all swallowed a bitter pill like me.

Gentlelife50:
Lol, I don't know ooo.
It's been a while Bro

Yeah. Been a while. Like they usually say, I have been a silent rider for sometime now.

IFSHR:
Call bolt number and report the trip...try and get his email and phone number as they will ask.

OYO for those of us when dey loyal to Indriver. Who we go call.

Olayetan:
I've been off social media for quite some time due to personal reason but I had to take that decision off the table cuz of a friend who found himself in a big mess.

Pilots, one of us is in serious trouble and I felt I should call the attention of the house for possible assistance or advise, on Saturday afternoon, he was requested by someone around igando to pick up some guys, unknowing to the driver, those guys had a gun on them.

While he was taking them to their destination, they were stopped by the police for stop & search, immediately police stopped them and asked them to alight, 3 among the 4 guys he carried ran away while him(driver) and the last guy were arrested when they found the gun in his car.

Now the guy has been branded accomplice despite showing them bolt app and claiming he's just a driving who was just providing his service.

These guy had been in detention since Saturday without any hope of coming out soon, any strong link or assistance would be highly appreciated at this point to get him out...

Na wa o. On top this small hustle when man dey take see front, which kind wahala be this? Or are we to start frisking riders, abi na metal detector we go buy put for moto?

pocohantas:
That has never happened to me for now. Only thing I have noticed is, it takes longer for drivers to come. They rolled out Uber Go on the Island, but it is still the same issue and I never gave it too much thought till I saw the comments here.

Izu is already threatening me that Uber Go would soon run. So maybe it is about time I get a side-guy.

We, at Indriver, would love to have you.

realpoacher:
Experience Bolt drivers in the house, how do you break even and make profits because to me, this prices paid by riders are low for a car owner to make profits.


Bolt just launched in Lokoja, Kogi State newly and I said let me even drive my car on the platform and have a feel of it. So I registered and got accepted. I went to the panel beater to do some minor repairs which cost me about 7k. I fueled the car 2k, and I launched my bolt driver app.

For 4 and half hours, I had about 6 riders and I made total 4k, which is not even up to what I spent for the day. That is after buying 1k fuel extra before I got home. Total spent = 10k. Total made= 4k. Balance= - 6k.

To me, this is ridiculously low for a car owner, imagine long trips of 30 minutes and the rider will only be charged 800 naira. Sometimes a rider will call me, and when I get there, they will be 3/4 people waiting for me. Yet bolt will charge a paltry 800 naira for 4 people/seats on this bad Lokoja roads, very terrible roads. I have not even talked about the distance I have to drive from to come pick them up. Who pays for that fuel from my location to riders location?

The most annoying experience yesterday was when I picked 3 riders (1guy, 2 girls) for a short distance and bolt app said 200 naira.... Are you kidding me?.... How much will the 3 of them pay for Okada,? That should 300 naira, nah.. Nah... With my ac blaring, I just told them 400 naira, the guy paid and even gave me a tip only for one of the girls to be saying that but bolt on her phone is saying 200 naira. Blah blah blah


Abeg you guys should give me clues as to maximize profits else, na to park my car jeje...

You really cracked me up. I have once done a trip on uber in my uber days, only for me to get to destination, and I saw 300naira, I weak. Funny thing was that trip was too short to be billed so I had to wait a couple of minutes more then tried again and to my greatest surprise 300naira popped up.

pope191:
Lol... u guys on bolt are really enjoying, like Indriver has placed a spell on me. I am so kind of use to the app or is just that the body hate change, even the refund I use to get, they've not refund for 3 days now.

There's something about Indriver that just gives me peace of mind.
