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

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.

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:
Your contact?

Don't bother yourself about him. He s such an unserious person. Rather look for this lady on Nairaland: Pattybf
She will handle all your car docs issues.

Who is Saintro Lekunbati here. Plagiarism,

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.

decatalyst:
Ibadan to Lagos now is 50minutes.


The road smooth...but I hope they complete it before commissioning.

Exactly. The road is yet to be completed.

ReadaDream:
For me, it's low. I'll be looking at 40-45k.

Thanks. Rider added to the money at last. She even bought me food in Ibadan.

Done and dusted. In the comfort of my bed at Lekki presently.

Felicity0001 the discussion we had when I dey Ilesha encouraged me to drive down to Lagos.
Cheers to all.

Guys Lagos Island to Ilesha for 35k, is that a good one? I just drop off.

Which one is 'uneasy calm' again? How can someone be uneasy and still maintain calmness? Elucidate biko

Meanwhile, are they saying the ticket was never open before, and politicians have been buying nomination forms as if it's gala and coke.

It is all cosmetics.

pope191:
We are talking about transperancy and nothing more, but it seems the price is beating you down. On Indriver you can maintain your rating easily with less or no ado.

And about pricing, what you should ask yourself is how much do I want to be making weekly? Bolt goes off and on with surge, but one thing you guys fail to understand Indriver is far better compare to Bolt without surge and if you know how to drive again't traffic, then it is perfect. You have to do 20k on Bolt to net 10k, but 14 to 14.5k is ok to net that same 10k.

Yea! Riders may tend to twist price on Indriver, but which human in his or her right sense will pick Ajah to Alakuko for 2500? If you have followed my last write up, you would have seen Surulere and Yaba more and I don't go below 2400 to 2800. Even did Lere to Ikeja 2400 under 25 mins yesterday. We don do both Uber and Bolt before, those trips no deh pass 1200. I still remember doing Berger to Lekki phase 1 on Bolt for 1800, I try to make these people see it was app glitch. Nothing concern them, I drove down back home from island with vex. I remember on Uber and Bolt, Lere to Mariner is 1k and VI is 1.7k... We did all these when it wasn't beneficial, waiting for surge days or bonus to compliment. So let everyone do what works for them. You can't force me to be online when I don't want too or go to where I don't want to be all because I am chasing bonus. I know how many time they scratch my bumper in the name of chasing bonus. Today will no deh use map drive again, just update best route, fire down.

Not loyal to any app, if I find some peace in anyone again, I switch.

I can relate. In fact if not for some idiots taking anyhow price on indriver, no app gives peace of mind like it.

Radionigeria:
Did you read a post on nairaland last year that says:
"my girlfriend gives me money and food stuff for free from her mum shop"
he was the one that posted it. That post made over 500 comments. I told you that you will go to jail, thief

The guy is a scam. Clout chaser. Unfortunately, Nairalanders and the nods flak for his cheap clout chasing. This shouldn't be on the front page at all if mods know their jobs.

Did I just read "capsized"? But this bus is still on the express.

This so called tradition just shows how backward iland hungry some parts of the Eastern people are.

harmargedon:
i see that tribalism gives your flaccid dick an erection. Be careful not to get an eternal ban.

Mumu. This is not about being tribalistic. It is pure fact. Such tradition ought to have been jettisoned by the Easterners years ago.

It is part of the barbaric culture still being nurtured in the East. So backward people!

eyinola:
So google map don add another name join ikorodu road ikorodu road - oluosun no more shodipo

Na so we see am o. How far? Hope you are back on the road.

pope191:
No worry, one day you will be thinking what did I do? Where did I go wrong? That's how far Bolt fingers their drivers head. On Indriver, you can easily spot the rider that gave you a star.

Indriver rating is damn transparent. I wonder why other ehaling apps can't be like that.

pope191:
That wasn't my hand writing boss
