pope191:The guy dey make me remember my campaign as SUG financial secretary and NAOSS(state) sec-Gen election in sch that year.. I want to convulse! I want to gba gba! I want to gbo gbo! I want to equivocate! I want to vomit! I want to slander!! I miss sch sha...lol Obahiagbon is in d building.. |
Jacksonfire:Lol, to be honest I sympathize with u...There are many factors that must be ticked b4 prices can be increase...You are only concentrating on just one factor, that is the major determinant of our operation, FUEL! RIDER are the most important factor in this biz, if there are no passenger, every one of us, you and I, the coy, the app, everyone is just wasting his time.. Every other factor can, perhaps be substituted..Yes, driver can be substituted! But you see rider, everyone needs them. Before u increase price, you must consider the people that will PURCHASE/BUY that products or services..Once it's beyond their reach, then there is problem..I am not in Benin, you know d demographics better than I do. Can Edolite afford 6k for a 20 mins ride consistently? Be honest with us. Why I want a better package for you all over there, the app guys also need to balance things at d other end ..But ehailing shouldn't be too cheap that driver won't make any profit at all, as you've posited here, if it's true o. Like PBAT reform, I'll always tell people in my circle that there is no reform that should make ur people go to bed hungry! That is what FG is doing now. |
Omoapena:Largely due to their purchasing power I'll assume...if you nack them 6k on top 20 mins trip, they won't returned d next day.. Moreover, moving around without bolt might not be too difficult and stressful like the big cities..I might be wrong tho |
ksmart027:I don't agree with you . I took about 35 trips as a rider on bolt in Abj last month and I was paying average of 6k for 20-25 mins trips ..Not bad if you ask me...Lagos is only SLIGHTLY better.. OGUDU to Vi on weekend is about 20-25 mins and you will only get average of 6k, most times 5k self on INDRIVE ....Funny thing is, none of them switched on AC..You can't try that with Lagos rider |
Brace up guys!!! There is no fuel in most part of Lagos..I just got a message from our staff bus driver now saying he was unable to get fuel despite being on queue for hours.....Some of my colleague confirm same.....Chin up, no go dey pick nonsense price. |
MDDarah84:Let's see the pics |
Muhammadson2020:Rich and ehailing are not to be found in the same sentence sir... I'm not sure people doing ehailing are doing it because they want to be rich.....Guys just want to be able to pay their bills, eat, chop fish for under bridge Costain...Hopefully, they get to diversify someday. |
Obedibombedi:Good job sir, that PMS figure is huge if you're using a 1.6-1.8 engine, except perhaps you're using a bigger engine..If it's a 1.8 engine, maybe you should be around 580-600k..You may want to fine-tune a little more.. Nevertheless, you're not doing badly at all..68 trip no be moin-moin...I no envy u. With this, all the lazy driver asking for weekly remittance of less than 50k should hug the nearest transformer. They should just wait till tomorrow when national grid go don restore power .. Weldone sir...I like hardworking guys. |
Reeefe:To be honest, my fair knowledge in relation to pricing is over two years ago..That is why am here to ask what is d standard price to pay now, from those who have done theirs recently and those doing theirs now .. My bricklayer said we will meet this weekend..I want to have an idea now Incase when he brings out his figure, I will know what to negotiate...Hope you get? |
creategist: |
Rany4all:I am using direct labour and I have a fair knowledge..If you're doing the wrong thing, I'll know...I just want to know what to negotiate for..It's been a while since my last project... |
Hello house, pls how much can I budget as labor for an experience bricklayer for a 3 bedroom project from foundation to lintel/level in Ogun state .....It's a small but simple design on a half plot...I'll be speaking to some recommended mason this week .You can also refer if you have trusted ones that can read drawing. your input will be appreciated. Thank you |

WareLogMan:Wow this is quite similar to the test I did on Wednesday. Take off time 6am Done time about 1pm Gross = 45,600. Fuel : 15k @ 885 per litre. INDRIVE only. This bros did 48k gross with 15k fuel, very very similar to what I did..what car sir? Mine is 06 Corolla. From our observation, we can begin to reason along that PERHAPS, we can do X3 of our fuel cost as gross.... If you're able to do more, maybe you tell us what you're doing differently.. |
I got fuel for 998 today at NNPC and I just saw Mobil selling for 996...ah, is there a reason for this? Since I was born, NNPC price is always the cheapest abi there is something new in this whole process |
A friend on my street who is fully on ehailing said I would have made MORE if it's on Bolt and that the 11,100 trip from Isaac Jones to Chevron is a very very bad trip, too cheap according to him. I felt it too during the trip. Well, I was experimenting, so I needed to work with the worst case scenario. What are the available options for drivers? CNG? That thing scares the hell out of me! The thing be like bomb for my eyes. Like everything in Nig, soon we might start having fake kit in the market.. It's a time bomb honestly, and it seems this FG led tax collector is hell bent on continuing this fuel increment. |
dapotemi:I decided to hit the road around 6am only on INDRIVE and this are my trips; Alapere to Oniru..7,500 Oniru to Isaac Jones...7,700 Isaac Jones to Chevron ....11,100( rider round it up to 11,500), according to her, you people no longer switch on AC and she was surprised I did without even asking. Agungi to Gbagada hospital---12k ( took me about 17 mins to get to the rider, ordinarily I won't pick this ride but I needed to go home and that ride is very close to home. Gbagada hospital to Alapere----4k (I was supposed to go home straight but I saw a very long queue at NNPC Alapere, switched to radio and I heard fuel increase, I knew I had to go back and Hussle for fuel, then I got my last trip. Alapere to OGUDU/Gbagada---2,900. (branch to NNPC, got fuel for 998. I did 6am to 12:30 Gross = 45,600. Fuel = 15k (my fuel indicator was already on when I bought this fuel at MRS yesterday..I think I got 16.7 litres... When I gross 45,600, my fuel was low but indicator wasn't ON, I think I could have added maybe 5k more but I was tired and that could mean going far away from home again ... MY OPINiON: INDRIVE did not absorb the effect of this fuel increase, I think they just pass everything to driver and rider .. Target only Longggg trip, the era of short trip is a waste of fuel.This fuel is too expensive for the stress, time wasting and insult that usually accompany short trip. Pick up must not be unnecessary long..I won't do anything more that 5 to 7 mins unless it's super juicy. Find a way to dey run the App street in one way or the other, half of my trip today (in value) was done offline..Don't ask me how abeg.. This Hussle is super stressful walahi, tho I notice the roads seems to be better and free than what it was few month back...Fewer vehicles on d road.. If I had to returned the qty of fuel I used back into the car, I will buy just maybe 12/13k..but I bought 19k, App will get like 2,500...I still have 24k. My driver/partner won't get a slash...Any serious person with a functional Corolla should be able to deliver 45k...That is what I'll tell him tonight...But I might find time maybe next week to do it again on this new fuel price (998), then see if I'll re-adjust my verdict. |
Today, I decided to drive after a long hiatus due to traveling and some other reason...My driver has been whistling about the dwindling revenue and he's asking for a slash..I told him he will get a response when am back to Lagos. The idea is to experienced whatever he claim to be the issue then we find a middle ground..Quite funny that yesterday is the first time am buying fuel at 890 or so, the fuel in my car up to yesterday morning was still gotten for 600....I don go, I don come back ....make I rest small..I'll share my experience.. |
Following closely... |
Afonja44:Hmmn, in the midst of all of this, fubara will be impeached I can assure you |
pope191:O por leti...but this faded plate is something else o..My VIO contact categorically informed me that they gave instructions to FRSC, Police and VIO to start stopping vehicles with faded plate...He knew I have one so he called me to let me know...I got this info today and coming online to see this..shit is real then..i have gotten a contact from someone that will repaint for me, though it's illegal as I was told but I might give it a try...I was told he's been doing a decent job...I spoke to him and he ask for 5k...sample of the last one he did.

Biztech02:Wow I thought as much that we have not been seeing you...Can we see more pics of this? Also re-upload the free floor plan let's see sir |
pope191:Lol |
Djdamian:I will donate 30k as transport for the first one month if God's willing he's humble enough to accept your job offer....pls other donor should help with shirt, trouser, tie, shoe etc .There is nothing too much to do for a troll...atleast before the end of the year, he will also be able to snap his own 32 inches TV and ogbono soup as d next hushpuppy... |
knyte:I will not even give my okada for 35k!!! Be fair....drivers are not the only ones suffering or feeling the heat. |
Goodmorning, pls I notice once I plug any appliance on some particular socket in my house, all my light would just switched off.. Sometimes they can come on on its own maybe after like an hour or so . Sometimes all my light would just be going off and on..I have noticed this in about 3 particular socket .The rest seems to be okay..Never experience this before and have been in this house for few years..I notice this about three weeks ago or thereabouts...what's happening pls? I need help or info on this |
Bob needs a very top lawyer ASAP..This case get k-leg and only a smart lawyer can proved beyond reasonable doubt. Fact1: Bob was sentence Fact 2: Bob was handed over to officers of the NCS (warder) after the sentence. Fact: Bob was assumed /presumed to be taking to prison..If he was then taken to another place, it is not his prob. Wherever they took me to is 'prison'. Unless anyone can prove that he was seen 'outside' within that period. I believe the officials must have done the needful after collecting whatever bribe...The prison register must have been adjusted accordingly... I don't pity any of them tho but a smart lawyer can make BoB walk free... |
dav1002:You're also right though |
northbird:Well, I won't totally agree with you tho, they have an advantage; roads are very very FREE!!! most of the trip usually end within 18-25 mins and the average is 6k...If I see this in Lagos, maybe I'll take it..Atleast 'cheerful' consistently preach here that distance does not matter but TIME. |
dav1002:It's no longer anything close to luxury, just a basic tool that picked you from one point to another ...I have taken 19 trip on bolt within the last two week in Abuja, only one driver manage to switched on AC for me, and all the 19 driver ask that we convert to OFFLINE! I wonder how bolt makes money in this town sha... |
