Abeg my oga which request be third party Indriver? Nah for people wey they go party?

Information don lost here... no one to tell drivers not to go to Sangotedo. Tried it since 2pm, I'm in traffic on Ajah bridge trying to look for my out. Ruined a sweet swell day for me.

Eeyah. Pele o.
Third party Na when someone makes a request for another nah.

Lemme quickly. Drop this. Guys riders ain't smiling with fake transfers these days.

After wasting some money on parts yetserday, I decided to go online. Got this third party request on indriver. Picked a lady and on getting to the destination, she said she was doing transfer. I categorically told her that I wont let her leave until I see my alert. She agreed.

Gave her my account number and fiam she claimed she had done it. OK have you been debited she said know. We use same bank.

When she saw I was serious about seeing my alert before she leaves, she decided to call the guy that did the request.
That one collected my number too. Mins later he sent a screenshot of access bank app SUCCESS.

I asked for his debit alert, nothing.
Na so I changed am for her. Las las after about 30 mins, she said she would enter the compound to bring cash. Na so I enter the compound with her. She was shocked.

She brought out cash and still claiming the transfers went through and that the guy has even transferred twice. Oya debit alert. None.

When she noticed that I wasnt going to leave the compound and was already raising my voice, she gave me my money o. Till now, no alert either from her or the guy whereas I ve received different alerts today from other riders.

Most riders want to use drivers heads. Guys watch out for fake transfers.
See your alert before you move.

mumu man. APC don show am shege. Better go siddon and enjoy your loot

DukeNija:
Okay. I’m flexible. 07035557114

Hello. I will be in Ikeja tomorrow if you still want it.

Kpengla:
This is me at my mechanics...and they can make stupid mistakes ehn

One time one of them was trying to jack up the car from underneath and he was going to rest the head of the jack under my exhaust pipe. That's how he would have ruined that pipe if I wasn't there and I would end up paying for it, since they usuallyblie when they damage your car due to carelessness

Only ignorance still makes some people leave their cars with mechanics and be forming big men or giving reason for not being able to monitor them.

A mechanic just left my house mins ago. Thanks to God I was with him. He left so many parts unattended to the way he met them. Imagine the guy losing my abs sensor and telling me to leave it hanging. I had to stand on my feet that he must look for where it was bolted before. Same he did with one of the springs holding shoe pad.


BTW, if you need correct tokunbo parts back left side hub, back shocks and right front ABS sensor for Corolla 08 to 12, try to dm me.

I just changed all of the above in my car not knowing that none of them was wrong.
The shocks I changed was due to the rocking noise from my rear side after changing the beam bushing .

The bushing is likely not well fitted or bad. So might need to ch age it again.

This woman case is just like that of GEJ. She too didn't contest. Her form was even bought days to the election. GEJ may have his way with APC then. Naija politics just tire me.

RaptObserver:
APC wan score own goal

Seriously.

Praktikals:
Priest kwa? If he wins, who will be the first lady?

Nothing like first Lady in our constitution!

seanfer:
It’s going to be a walkover for APC if the party can be united after tomorrow’s primary.

Exactly my thought. Even the deatained guy Dagogo should align with APC if he is wise to defeat Wike by the time he is released.

73O9:
This is one of the reasons I always arguewith you. Always praising bolt as if its the best to happen.

I get this every Monday.
It's small but I have peace of mind to do better things.

This is Branch. I use Piggy though.
Might port to this Branch o.

mrvitalis:
That was not what rochas meant

He know that arresting him and the time it would take to secure bail would make him miss the screening and that's absolutely correct expect you want to lie to yourself


NB rochas deserve worse than what's he is getting but truth is the truth simple

Exactly. You dey mind the jejeune journalist!

sandammy:
My first trip today is #700 and bolt is showing me #188 as expenses which is close to 27%

Just like this.

Malami is a cunning man! He doesn't deserve to be in such an elevated position he occupies presently.

Ex convict too dey chook mouth. Mchew.

That's the way to go.

uBuNiT:
This single action will cost tinubU aso rock. Yoruba can dare aboki to their own peril.

You are such a nitwit. You must be reasoning through your anus!

Guys, it's been a while we saw madam radautoworks here. Madam rad hope you good?

pope191:
Boss I deh find where I fit see sticker buy, Pasuma and Osupa, with neck tower.

My contact for Oshodi get am wella. How many dozens you wan buy?

sandammy:
Abeg can one make gain/profit going online without surge. For like 2hrs I've been monitoring my app for surge to go online but there is non.
I want to know if one still makes profit without surge and the surge is just an added advantage.

The work is better when done with surge. W/o surge, you are as good as working for bolt and fuel Station.

pope191:
The rider will add 500h, don't worry.

Indriver i's very cool, but the drivers seem to be the major problem. They can so pick any trip without thinking.

Thas the problem. Majority of drivers on the platform will take any shit especially if it is long distance trip.

pope191:
Jesu! More than 650k!! They are levels to this driving... are you sure you are a driver ba yi?

That phone you saw in my car na mi 11 ultra premium edition (512gb rom)

sandammy:
Abeg my ogas. What is the appropriate Pickup distance in km and minutes. Bolt keep giving me 20minute, 30 minutes
Pickup and once I tell riders, they will cancel and driver score reduced. Even if I swipe arrive, they still reduce my score
Just between Wednesday and today, look at what they've done to my score.

Set it to 2km

pope191:
No wahala they are free to come... one thing I can guarantee you is they will never lie to you again and they will be bold as bold can be. When are they coming? When does not even matter, anytime they are ready, I'm available. If you say now, so be it.

Thenpix of Gbenga Adeboye you used really shows you re Jengbetiele, jengbeti ijongbon.!

You know what, my phone even costs past that price you quoted and my boys play with it any time I'm home with them. They play games and watch movies I downloaded for them. It is all about the orientation given to them.

ppogba:
Show me a Nigerian politician with power who is not a dictator and I will show you a demon that is generous and angelic.

Take a moment and imagine a president Wike.

All of us to go in exhile be that! God forbid bad thing.

pope191:
Not just one... if you are using a phone worth 650k, "I don't think" you will use inability to control d little glories as excuse not to keep it well. "Materialism lives outside the lines of my reality" tho.

Na me me you dey style talk to o

Glithronix:
Same thing happened to me yesterday evening. Mine was 4 times, had to rush go offline. Driver scores just dropped fiam.

We talked about this issue at the zoom meeting held today. Bolt just can't do anything about it.

Youngest aspirant wey no get age? Vanguard!

I can relate to the popcorn story. Na so I delivered cocaine to one idiot at PrimeWater yesterday unknowingly. It was just one rough wrapper that was used to wrap it. I got to the destination before I knew when she was unwrapping it. Imagine the idiot even left the wrapper inside my car with the nylon.

Ghost1994:
For my car maintenance especially daily routine before I jet out in the morning:-

I know many people attended lasdri training and I find that training very useful.

First thing I do check before starting my car early in the morning is

1. Belt yes the belt and why? Because even the so called tokumbo sometimes can fail you on the road anything can happen I don’t trust belt we do buy so due to experience I make sure I checked around the belt. If I notice any wornout, I might probably change it and also I make sure to have extra belt.

2. If you’re using Corola I mean regular 03-07 I make sure I check oil seal if it’s leaking. Because many corollas out there Dey short oil especially if you’re using it for this hustle. To change Corolla oil seal is just 1-3k depend on the mechanic and where you buy parts. But for Honda Civic 06-09 I make sure I checked under the bottom if there’s no leakage Lagos roads is sometimes bad and you might not have an idea if you’ve hit a terrible stone that’ll make your engine or gear oil to be leaking.

3. For corollas yes I kept on insisting on corollas because na them plenty pass and I’ve got one here. Make sure you check your oil stick level. Corolla Dey short oil even Ladipo self most of them na engines wey dem buy from owode majority go reboil and resale. Even if you carry Imam or Pastor go Ladipo you’ might still fall victim talking from experience tokumbo of corollas engine no too sure for Ladipo again.

But for Honda Civic I love this particular car engine cos I’ve got one too and other brands check your oil level if it’s short top it with the recommended oil brand by checking the oil cover you’ll know which one is recommended for your car.

4. I check the coolant level if it’s short I top it. Because sometimes our weather is unpredictable.

5. I use to make use of my wiper fluid while driving and I’ll just top it too.

6. Check your four tyre round and see if it’s less and also your extra tyre if it’s less remember to fill it.
For tyres you can check Aliexpress.com, alibaba.com or Jumia check for tyre accessories you’ll get tyre gauge it’s cost less down 2k on Aliexpress it’s good you’ll know the level of your tyre gauge easily.

So basically for me, these are few things I make sure I check before leaving home for hustle in the morning.

Some general experiences for newbies that love hustling at night:-

1. Make sure around 8-9pm you fill your tank with 4-5k of fuel. It’s very important because the only place you’ll be able to get fuel around island is enyo filling station ikate and mainland is ojota by odo iyalaro.

2. Make sure you have change like 200 100* 5 to sort police should in case you fall victim of any documents whatsoever.

3. Never argue or no your rights at night whenever armed policemen stop you for night.

4. Never ever for any reason collect a package delivery for night. It’s dangerous and set up. Many drivers are currently in jail for this act. My experiences was bad with things like this:-

Have got a request around one estate along kusenla road he called me with cool voice and go on like this below:-

Rider: mr. Saintrow good evening sir how’s your day going and work sir.
Me: fine sir in my mind I have doubt on him
R: sir I’ll be waiting for you at the gate
Me: ok I zoom got to pickup
R: waiting already at the entrance with a Package—— sir this is what’s going sir
Me: please what’s inside the package and can I open it I mean tear it and video it with you?
R: why will you do that sir anyways I understand it’s for your safety but na popcorn Dey there sir.
Me: guy stop fooling me how can you transport popcorn worth less down 500naira to Ikoyi with 1.5surge nawao na drug Dey there alaye.
R: bros calm now I go pay now.
Me: guy my nickname is ghost if you doesn’t stop this shit I’ve got you on camera I’ll report you to the authorities very useless idiot naso una Dey make jjc fall victims.
R: ran inside with sorry
That’s it imagine carrying popcorn 500 to delivered to girlfriend very useless idiots so be vigilante guys.

5. Never ever I repeat Never ever collect anything from passenger to hide from Police at anytime. It’s a trap you might land in jail.

6. Don’t ever listen to any rider whenever you sight law enforcement at night. Many of those riders that’ll shout run or take another route might have a dangerous weapon to kill you and collect your car. Make sure you face the police whatever happens is not in your control so far you don’t have anything don’t worry police no Dey disturb Uber.

7. Don’t ever accept offline at night it’s very dangerous cos if anything happen to your drunk rider maybe he/she die the only thing that’ll help you is your ongoing online trip.

8. Don’t and never have any goodies, chocolate, biscuit or whatsoever to offer riders I don’t follow bolt/Uber trainings on what they said we should have to entice riders for ratings. Guys America is different from Nigeria you don’t know what the rider has taken before entering your car he or she might’ve taken poison to assist the journey you com give am your chocolate na you police go hold oh.

9. If rider fail to pay you fully or none don’t fight physically cos you don’t know the kind of fate he or she has. it’s might be setups because most of them are walking dead i wrote this on my last article. You fit curse them but don’t fight physically

10. If your instinct tells you that rider(s) seems dangerous at night drop them it’s a sign from God.

11. Don’t carry 2-3 guys together at night. Haaa it’s scary experiences especially if they’re coming from clubs majority go don high and some might’ve good intentions for you but then naija is dangerous.

12. If you’re carrying a guy (huge guy) at night never allow him to sit at the back. He’s huge he fit make you sleep with just chemical or strangle you and please always watch your inner mirrors should in case you carry ladies too.

13. Should in case you’re tired and want to rest, never sleep on the Lekki Epe expressway. ESP on that folix lounge road that’s too risky for your life. Make sure you go Fola osibo, street opposite farm city Lekki one, freedom way by presken hotel is not bad too, but don’t sleep on major road and admiralty road too never sleep there.

14. If a rider begged you for cash never give them it’s a trap na fake transfer them wan do. Carry them go atm make them withdraw.

15. If a rider tells you that they don’t have cash to give you at night, and they can’t do transfer, but once they get home they’ll go inside and bring your money (this always happened early in the morning esp with runs babe wey dem no sell) tell them to drop their phone or anything valuable and go inside to bring your money. Never allow them to go no matter how they sweet chatted you.

16. Some places to sleep on the island:- Lekki 1, chevron by alternative road, Osapa London is not very bad too in front of those hotels, Dmatel hotel, kusenla road by that stadium, mega chicken, sky mall sangotedo many people will add join.

For Victoria island:- Eko hotel road, Oniru beach, many hotels around oniru is safe too, Cubana, quilox and many more.

Yaba: sabo only.
Surulere: bode Thomas
Ikeja: off Toyin, Allen, shoprite and many more from people comments below.

17. If a rider call you and tell you that you’ll pick something for him at mushin and bring it for him or her in ajah on sososo surge but you’ll give the sender money like 1-10k guy it’s old format. Na foam you Dey pick and on top of your fuel you’ll lose and cry.

Last but not the least

18. ALWAYS DUST YOUR CARPETS AND RUG AT NIGHT SOME RIDERS MIGHT'VE DROPPED TABLET OR DRUGS AND IF POLICE DO STOP AND SEARCH YOU DONT HAVE CAMERA TO PROOF YOUR INNOCENCE IS BAD.

Guys wey Dey copy my post I appreciate you but kindly Dey share your experience too make other Dey learn. Give credits too I’m saintrow on FB nairaland is Ghost1994.

I stop from here today
God will continue to guide and protect us.

STONEUS:

Felicity0001:
Thank God for safe trip to and fro bro... We bless God.

Me I just entered house few minutes ago... I lost one of my tires on 3MD on my way home at adeniji junction... Na now I know watin izzuo dey try talk all those while. Those adeniji boys are the real hoodlum. My rider (female) had to to path ways with 3k, the boys said I'll pay them 9k but she negotiated with them at 4k and asked me to add 1k to it... Poor me all my riders did tf all tru so I was having just 350box on me... Omo... They took my expensive Dunlop palms oh... One even threaten to burst my glass if i don't leave immediately... Though na them help me change the tire.

It wasn't a funny experiemce at all.

Thank God no one was hurt shall.

The only path that pained me the most was that my phone that i just fixed last week broke again as I was trying to show them I'm a bolt driver they shouldn't look at my car to judge me o... Along the process na so the phone slide fall for my hands. The thing pain me shall.

And once rhe screen is broken it will only take some day b4 it starts misbehaving again so I'll have to spend another 20k on it again.

Eeyah. Pele
There are days like that.
