If only English was the SI unit for intelligence

Lmao

Ceenelly:
your points are correct. But pls remove the insult. I rather pick passenger from third to agbor park than drive bolt at the moment. I couldn't recover my fuel yesterday. Pls if there is any bolt agent here pls tell bolt that fuel in Benin city is 1,300naira per litre.

Good morning bosses, please I have an issue with my car. I noticed that whenever I buy fuel I have to press the accelerator while starting the car before the car starts and when it starts, it may go off unless I keep revving the accelerator and drive it for a while before it normalizes. But after it normalizes, it drives normally even if I off the car and on it agai. I have changed the plugs and the fuel filter but it still the same thing.
NB: this only happens when ever I buy fuel, also I noticed when ever the hard starting happens if I disconnect the hose that feeds the injectors/nozzles, there is a huge rush of fuel from the hose maybe due to excees pressure and if i connect it back, the car starts one hand

Any idea what I can look into again?

I switched the fuel pump it was still the same
The culprit was the evap purge valve
It was stuck open

Omoapena:
Yeah, you're right.


Dav1002, I have tokunbo fuel pump, you can put it and see the performance then after confirming the work, we can talk about price...

I'm far from Berger boss
I'm at shomolu
I will enter Onyigbo which is closer

Omoapena:
I always buy my oil from filling station, I don't know about the filter tho but I buy oil from filling station and I change oil at every 4000km, i don't even let it exceed 4000km.


Omo, make I just go take sleepy tablet so I can sleep very well...

You use wrong oil yet you change oil at 4000km
Dey play

If you like buy the oil directly from the company
Smh

Omoapena:
They also charged me 200k here, but the man said the ring alone is 120k and metal 30k, I really don't know if he's saying the truth tho...

But, I've paid the 200k

Omo, I no plan this nonsense o

Pearl1910:
God will continue to bless your hard work.
I can relate with your MO, that's how I started. In 2017, I was making my monthly salary in 2weeks of just driving after work and weekends. Then I thought to myself so if I sleep all day and drive only in d evening on week days and all day weekends for just two weeks, I have made the same amount I suffer myself all day for 4weeks?. Meaning if I dedicate my whole day to suffer on ehailing, I will make four times my salary. The decision to resign and enter ehailing fulltime was not hard to make at all. And I haven't regretted it ever since. As a salary earner, I deduct transport and fuel money from my salary. But when I started ehailing, transport was not in my budget again. So I made even more money. I still lived my life as if I was earning my salary and all extras went into savings. I was buying 1 additional car every year couple with building projects and other business establishments.
When I entered this thread and all I saw was complains, mediocrity and oven lighting discussions. I was like no, this narrative has to change. How can u have a goldmine and not recognize it. Reason why I don't keep quiet o, and many people see me as an enemy. I know I have changed mindsets and Influenced alot of people positively and I will still be here to motivate and encourage. It's left for people to choose what they want to believe. All I have said, the same people that say it's a lie, will secretly go and try and see it is possible and be enjoying it silently and will not come and tell the people they discouraged what they are enjoying.

So to every newbie here, before u follow person, ask am where him dey come from and where him dey go. Don't follow people and forget ur own circumstances and where u are coming from. They will tell u, u r driving like headless chicken around Lagos, they will say u are slaving from sun rise to sun set, they will say u are carrying olosho from hotel to night club, they will come ones in a while and peep to ask "una still dey drive?" Don't pay an ounce of attention to them, focus and face ur front... Do what u have to do to make d benjamins. Most of them are either begging for children's school fees, house rent or food.
From this work, people have turned landlord, from this work people have paid their tuition abroad, from this hussle people have sponsored their family japa, from this work people have become multiple car owners, from this work people have raised capital to set themselves up in their dream business and careers. Don't let people with no future ambition derail u.
Cheers to all the people putting in the grind consistently.

I see what you did there comrade

Sha becareful make them no carry wheel spanner come find you

Pope191 fit testify say that experience no been funny

donfortune48:
Come,
Are you daft? Or you're just pretending to be?
You read the title of the thread and can clearly see that it's made for Lagos ehailing drivers and partners, you can also see that most people that share their knowledge and experiences here are primarily Lagos based drivers also. Drivers from other parts of the country usually come here to share their peculiar experiences to Lagos experience, which is normal. Abuja people have their own group. You can also create one for Benin based drivers so you can have people of like minds and experiences to wail with.

You've been speaking unsolicited grammar here for some time and I can't really understand the root cause of your anger and outburst with people that share their experiences from driving in Lagos. Is it that they're lying? Or what exactly is your problem?

Even if you think that Pearl1910 is lying, will you also say that Omoapena and others who shared their daily earnings were also lying?

I laugh in peace

mejai:
Conner44, no mind them. I dedicate 3 pages for you. Mercy nobody!!

I came in peace boss

IFSHR:
Cho Cho Cho, leave the job ! It doesn’t pay ! It waste of time!, but if them give you CV to employ one of them, and pay that money that you think will make them comfortable, Job you no get to offer, connection you no get to offer.

If them message you now make you borrow them money to take care of their family after taking your pointless advice to leave the job and wait for a better venture : money you no get to offer.

How can a sensible person just sit behind phone conjuring senseless and meaningless grammar, offering unsolicited jargons up and down, in the name of find a new job or the work is enslaving, I wish they can create a thread of those people u see wearing shirt and trousers up and down, let them tell you their tale, you will know , you don’t just judge people, situation or circumstances that you are not part of.

You are telling people to stop something that is taking care of their immediate need without suggesting or posting that thing, you think is better than what they have.

If you are doing better, why not tell us what job or business you are doing, and tell us how u can offer us same job, or give us the link to that same business you are doing, if you are not doing this , then carry your jargons cook and eat it alone.

If you want to talk to him talk to him directly
Stop going through conner44

Jacksonfire:
You are a hardened self centered human being that only care about his personality, and doesn't care about others lamentation.. this is why Nigeria as a country can't move forward. Keep sentiment apart , if you can't decipher my lexicons so far.. what year did your friend bought another car with bolt drive? Can he do same with this current economy crisis?? Most of you here posting huge figures from the profit u made should keep falsifying the gullible ones... Correct that statement I never said I ain't doing well. Don't think everyone here only feed from peanut made driving for bolt.

Bia!!!!
Your own don dey too much

Why taking the argument personal?

If the hustle isn't good for you, it might be good for some others

Learn to respect people's pov

No insult me oh abeg make thunder no strike you
I come in peace biko

Glithronix:
Someone here is uses camry muscle and I'm sure he's doing just fine with it.
Even if person dey use V6 vehicle (which many people use), you go make your profit. The margin might be different.
No vex, what the fuel preservation difference between Corolla and big daddy (4 plugs)?

Much respect, boss.

You must be joking

Nelochukwu:
Bros y are u upset. Someone said his doing fine driving you are angry. You said u are not doing well and you are still angry. For me the hustle pays me very well bro. I'm always liquid. D guy that cannot repair his car sud not be used as a prototype for driver. People manage monies differently . I know a guy that drives his monthly dashboard reads 1m EVERY MONTH. His bought another car from this hustle and gave hisyounger brother he brought from d village.

Please for the fact it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for another. While I was working and earning very well I still knew broke senior collegues. Who always looking for loans etc. so please bro no be fight

Men don turn the hustle to family business

Pearl1910:
Which one be Uber fastest finger?

It's the same as indrive

A trip is sent to you and other drivers, who ever picks it first gets the trip

Omoapena:
Relocated boss
Drop your digit, we can link up when less busy...

Bolt doings

I'm loyal sir

Jacksonfire:
I understand your confer dispense about this argument.. to me I still feel bolt drive should be side hustle.. and my major uneasiness about taken bolt more serious is when your car call for maintenance. Trust me as it speaks now. Let me use u as an exemplification, if peradventure ur gear box had issue currently due to deterioration. Can you beat ur chest that, you can sort the bill instantly for a new one?? . I know a bolt driver currently seeking for money to fixed his gear box and he had been driving for bolt for more than 2 years.. if bolt is that profitable why cant he sort it out from his profit all this years? To me bolt driving is just for survival.. no body get rich driving for bolt!!!

Some folks here stay in chevron courtesy uberbolt
Some owns fleets courtesy uberbolt


Speak for yourself bro

XGhost:
In almost all the conversations here nobody talks about uber. Am I the only one driving on Uber here??

It's just you I guess

The only people I think enjoy Uber per say is the moove guys

I can keep my Uber app on all day and only 5trips go pop up out of which 3 have long pick up or Uber fastest fingers go first you rush am

tojahh:

Pearl1910:

donfortune48:

With all this grammar, na Indrive and bolt we still dey take guard.

Na for this same hustle people dey wear suit, dress tight and smell nice

Guys don up their game remember you fit meet your destiny helper in this hustle

Stop playing

Muhammadson2020:
Bro try and be reasonable, economy is so bad for the business right now.

Them no dey tell person

Of all cars na 2.4litre motor e wan use enter

He'll learn the hard way

Barbiturate:
Ok, so how much net will 20k fuel get you a day?

You dey ask person whose car dey do 1litre in 6km
😂


Dey play

Glithronix:
Just imagine people earning 100k monthly.
Omoh, it is well ooooh.

Much respect, sir.

Do you make 100k monthly after deducting fuel, commission and maintenance?

northbird:
With 12 litres , to achieve 48k net. That's not true.

Uches point of view is not your point of view
Uches car is not your car
Uches work ethic is not your work ethic

Again follow who know road

Omoapena:
How far pearl, you go agree make bolt increase price now abi you still dey make 80k with 20k fuel?


Bought 13k fuel now, e no even reach 12litres

All things been equal, you should be able to make 48k net with it

Glithronix:
What is new is that the country is f*cked.
Let's put e-hailing aside, fuel was N185 as at last year, see the price today!
I'm forecasting a harsh suffering, hunger, crime and unrest in the country in the nearest time to come.
It is well.

Much respect, boss.

My son, Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen

Naso Bible talk, speak positivity

Pearl1910:
Truth is anything less than 50k/week is not enticing again for car owners putting up their car for rentals.
For an investment of 5m, 200k a month earning is just barely enough.

If u are lucky to have only a couple of minor repairs in a month plus your monthly routine servicing, then u will spend at least 50k a month.

If u do anything around 30-35k. Anytime u have any of battery, suspension, hub, tyre, AC, electrical, engine, gear, body parts or painting job then ur monthly earnings can be wiped out.

Even lazy drivers can make 50k in two days and keep four days earnings for themselves, and still rest 1day.

For an investment of 5m then or now?
Show me one investor that bought the corolla 5m just to put it up for rental

pheelhip:
I'm pained.
Indrive have robbed me as I just swore for a rider

I was jejely in the office while I decided to go on break and saw a 5500 trip to bariga from ikeja, I knew I would get another ride back from there to ikeja

This guy ordered for his babe, from kafi strt to bariga not knowing it was supposed to be from bariga to kafi street, na so I pick.
On confirmation that the destination and pick up location were intertwined. I canceled the trip. Indrive didn't plan to refund me the service commission deducted. I was pained.

Na network glitch
Much respect

Omoapena:
Definitely, maybe 1050 to 1100.

Tbh, this thing is tiring.

Painfully you no go know weda na your car dey chop fuel or na you dey pick mumu trips
I get headache like this

pheelhip:
Even their increase is not significant please

Go and fix your car
Guys are making 80k with 20k fuel
Follow who know road
