Mums number is switched off

Dope Oni said she has transferred the money maybe its network. Told her that's not true. she vex hiss and cut the call.

in 10mins time, I will call back. she sound sleepy.

I'm aware of that bro. Never knew it would happen to me seriously. I make sure I see the alert before I leave. Thanks.

Afternoon chief pilots. I fell into 2 scams this week and I'm still wondering how I let it happen as careful as I've always been.

I won't be saying much about the first one until I'm done with my findings.

The second is actually confirmed a scammer. Guys watch out for transfer these desperate times.

I picked these 2 ladies at Eko Hotel and dropped them at Bay lounge lekki yesterday night. Trip ended 1500. Bolt gave them 200 naira. So my money na 1300. The one that ordered said she would transfer. She was on it for close to 15 mins. She later said she didn't have enough cash in her account. She asked her friend to do the transfer. That one too struggled for like 4 mins and told me she had done it. She even showed me her debit alert.

While this was going on, another request was waiting for me on 1.9 surge. I kept appealing to that one that I needed to get my money.

After seeing her debit alert, I just zoomed off to go pick the new request. Alas, she cancelled before I reached. The transfer turned out to be fake as I no see alert till this morning. When I called her, I noticed she had blocked my number.
I went through the app and discovered that she has another number there. I called it and it turned out to be the mum's number. She promised to talk to her. I called the mum back with a different account 2 hours later. Immediately she heard Bolt, she turned off her phone.

The season is too dry for one olosho to scam one with 1300. Abeg help pay her some visit including the mom.

Her number is +2349138702411 Similoluwa
Her mum is 0803 487 6447. Dupe oni

Izzou, Felicity0001 and tojahh abeg I need some CIA work on her. I actually need to get her exact pictures.



PS: Seeing a rider's debit alert is not enough proof that their transfer is successful. Lesson learnt. Still on the 2nd lady.

Yes it is. Google map or not, I still expect a licensed driver to read road signs very well. Any driver that says I NO KNOW, even with all the signs there shouldn't be driving.

InfinityEstates:
Boss, is it that road that there's Chicken Republic?

Pope191, becar3ful o

pope191:
Abegi! Forget matter, those 2 r madly in love... I don tell Felicity001 to make up with his boss, him fit get new cloth pass em boss, but him oga will always senior him when it comes to rag.

What's the schedule like?

radautoworks:
this is fine as long as done on schedule

Every driver needs to make this their watchword. Your head dey there bro.

IFSHR:
That's my approach brother, I am out there to hustle in best way, nicest way, smartest way and Fiercest way possible, you get what you give me, it's my car and my service, you don't measure I don't render it at all.

You want to do transfer, you must be ready to show me your debit alert, my mind no trust your appearance you must be ready to use ATM to withdraw, you no get ATM, he means you go wait make I see alert ( I trust GTB on that).

Make I wait for u abi? Card trip I will wait but sir/ma if you don't come out in 10mins time, I will have to end trip, you agree I wait, you no agree, I end trip and move to the next. For cash trip, sir/ma I am sorry due to previous encounter on the job, i can only wait if you will drop your phone, I am sorry, or better still let's end the trip and hopeful, when you request when you are ready, I might still be in vicinity.

You pack all your load waiting for the innocent car that will help you carry it for 500. And bolt go give me your request. Oga driver thats the load, thank God you are driving a Jeep...Me: , oga mi your load money na 1000 + plus anything wey the trip fare end, ..........but that's not how bolt operate na....am sorry sir, you can cancel and request for the next victim.

On Ratings: from the very first trip I have never asked/begged for rider to rate me 5 or anything..by itself he go down and rise up again. . In the one last week It went from 4.52 to 4.78

The difference is clearer than 7up bro. Nothing gives peace of mind like using the recommended oil spec.

deedee44:
So if you use 5w30, the engine will last forever?

Ahhgggg

samobaba4u:
This hustle henn, see what bolt turned a whole Pope to

Yes o. Na so one idiot woman expected me to make illegal u turn at Fagba the other day even before enforcement officers. I told her not possible. She said she turns there herself. As I no listen to her, she knack me 1 star akpako. I no send o.

sharpk007:
Once U re driving and any traffic rule(s) is(are) disobeyed, d offender is always d driver and not d passenger.

E.g, U re putting on a seatbelt as a driver and ur rider is not using his/her own if Road safety shud stop you, d driver will be charged.

But seriously issues like dis I always listen to two sides of the story b4 engaging or calling.

For the record I have helped people to call or message more Dan 12 peeps on money related issues on dis thread.


Let's thread carefully

No my able Pope. I just belive injustice to any driver in this biz, is injustice to others. I ve been following the case on Facebook since it started. The girl is just using the police station report story to defend herself.

pope191:
Tot u wrote this boss...

The girl is a hardened criminal. You need to see other chats on Facebook.

shollywendy1:
If what I'm reading here is true, then the bolt guy need to be locked up for trying to defame an innocent rider for his own carelessness.
I think we need to be hearing from both sides of the story now before dragging any culprit.

Adjusted

tojahh:
I think I saw this on Facebook. Please when giving us jobs like these ensure you write copied under as caveat because questions will be asked and unfortunately you can't be able to answer it.

To the girl... It will be better she ask her network provider to block her o. Because i get NIN so I won't relent until I finish her with calls and whatever.

Please those of you that paid for party. Come and collect your money o.

Hello Pilots,
This woman here named just stole a driver’s iPhone 6s and 7500 from his safe, I was driving past when I saw the driver begging CBD guys on Obafemi Awolowo way, Ikeja. He was arrested for parking in front of NSCDC, because I felt pity for him I drove and parked at Assbifi rd then came back to know what his offense was, the woman ordered him to NSCDC office n asked him to park n wait while waiting for her person, just there the CBD guys came n arrested the driver for parking on the road, while the driver was out begging them this woman still inside d car took his big phone and 7500 from his safe and disappeared, thank God d driver called her with his small phone, she didn’t even pay for her ride of 2,300 now she has blocked his line and even my own line and the driver is being charged to pay 20k...

Pls help me call her to at least return his phone and pay his money...

Here’s her line

Thanks Guys

She is busy blocking calls to her

Na her face be that

This rating get as e be jàre. I notice my morale dey go too low when my rating drops. Anyone in same shoe with me?

Na so I drop from 4.83 to 4.75 yesterday. I just went offline straight for close to 4 hrs. De manage crumbs on Indriver.

Imagine as requests low and ur rating too dey drop. So, frustrating!

Chelsea and sacking sha. Arteta should have been sacked 10x then.
Chelsea still doing better than Arsenal IMOO

Is Naija now that organised? How many people did registration with their permanent home addresses? I still dey wait how this will work.

Rider expected me to carry those metals on our way to a destination. . Drivers dey suffer sha. I'm sure it won't cost him less than 10k to carry those. We had to end the trip there. Ended 1k.bolt gave him 200. Imagine if I had been foolish to carry those metals too. May be he will be adding just 200 naira as we were close to Adeniji that he was heading. His 1 star dropped my rating buh I'm not moved.
Im sure some drivers will still carry them especially if they re not the car owners.





I'm not sure I will be giving out cars on rentals!

jideflash:
I don't know wetin I do uber o. I just put on my app after 2weeks off, only to see this message. I didnt break any rule.

Their app is shitty.

Check your DM.

kanuisagoat:


I wish this place was a little more private. There are things I would have loved to say.

I hope this little piece will point you in the right direction

It beats my imagination how some drivers are getting the exact trips this season! Even to complete the 25 trips given to me these days Na war.

Slickleo:
U never explain hw u get 22 trips within dat time, bonus dat is not eatable dis period

The last time I checked, this guys is not an ordinary person. Too much juju dey o. I rest my case.

I pity guys on Indriver going towards ABULE EGBA now. The traffic there madt. I nearly fell into it. Got a request from ICM. Map showed 32mins to drop off. Na as I start trip I con dey see more than 1hr with red. I jejely told them I cant go with the trqfrco except they want to add money.

Ladipo guys sabi refill suspension with gas. What about that?

Second body, little dent, Gear still manageable ,
as well as the engine.

Reason for selling: owner just gave his life to Christ.

Asking price 100 litres of fuel purchased from NNPC Ikoyi

You re right in all the points you listed here. How I wish Bolt management would see this!

InfinityEstates:
But na true na, she no be KD. You for collect money for KD hand. Mad people everywhere.

But on a more serious note, that's one of my issues with BOLT. They don't carry out sensitization on their riders. We understand that it would be difficult and stressful to train riders just like they train drivers. The least they could do is send out regular newsletters or mails concerning proper etiquettes before ordering a ride, during the ride and after the ride.

Some riders don't know why they have to rate. Some don't even know the rating affects the driver directly. Some have this NIGERIAN LECTURERS mentality that "A" (5stars) is for God, so matter how nice and cool the ride went, they'll still rate below 5stars.

Some riders would be waiting for the driver to call after requesting a ride, without understanding that the driver was probably on the highway when the request came in and was accepted and it would be difficult to place a call immediately (That's one my major issues with INDRIVER by the way).

Some riders feel they "PAY" for the TIME/DURATION of the ride, so they can decide to take their time WASTE THE DRIVER'S TIME, without understanding that the driver is more concerned about the DISTANCE COVERED or more preferably "CHANGE IN LOCATION" of the ride.

Some don't know how to pinpoint their exact location on the MAP when requesting a ride and inputting their destination, thereby making it difficult for the driver to easily pickup (Me I don't even stress. Once I discern that you didn't input your pickup correctly, and you can't give me a consise description using a LANDMARK, and it's not a trip that would "make sense", I just cancel the trip. I can't kill myself).

These and many more issues are what riders don't understand.

BOLT should do more in sensitizing riders to make life easier for drivers.

I was on another 3rd party trip this night. A lady booked for her friend. On getting to drop off, I asked her to pay. Next I hear, "the app says collect cash from KD and that she no be KD, so she can't pay". Omoh, I gentle within me. I sha made her see the reason to pay.
I guess, she thought the friend booked on a card trip. Some, people sha.

Chief Justice Roberts, Vice-President Harris, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Leader McConnell, Vice-President Pence. My distinguished guests, my fellow Americans.

This is America's day. This is democracy's day. A day of history and hope, of renewal and resolve. Through a crucible for the ages, America has been tested a new and America has risen to the challenge. Today we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate but of a cause, a cause of democracy. The people - the will of the people - has been heard, and the will of the people has been heeded.

We've learned again that democracy is precious, democracy is fragile and, at this hour my friends, democracy has prevailed. So now on this hallowed ground where just a few days ago violence sought to shake the Capitol's very foundations, we come together as one nation under God - indivisible - to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries.

As we look ahead in our uniquely American way, restless, bold, optimistic, and set our sights on a nation we know we can be and must be, I thank my predecessors of both parties. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. And I know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength, the strength of our nation, as does President Carter, who I spoke with last night who cannot be with us today, but who we salute for his lifetime of service.

I've just taken a sacred oath each of those patriots have taken. The oath first sworn by George Washington. But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us. On we the people who seek a more perfect union. This is a great nation, we are good people. And over the centuries through storm and strife in peace and in war we've come so far. But we still have far to go.


We'll press forward with speed and urgency for we have much to do in this winter of peril and significant possibility. Much to do, much to heal, much to restore, much to build and much to gain. Few people in our nation's history have been more challenged or found a time more challenging or difficult than the time we're in now. A once in a century virus that silently stalks the country has taken as many lives in one year as in all of World War Two.

Millions of jobs have been lost. Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed. A cry for racial justice, some 400 years in the making, moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer. A cry for survival comes from the planet itself, a cry that can't be any more desperate or any more clear now. The rise of political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism, that we must confront and we will defeat.

To overcome these challenges, to restore the soul and secure the future of America, requires so much more than words. It requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy - unity. Unity. In another January on New Year's Day in 1863 Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. When he put pen to paper the president said, and I quote, 'if my name ever goes down in history, it'll be for this act, and my whole soul is in it'.

My whole soul is in it today, on this January day. My whole soul is in this. Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I ask every American to join me in this cause. Uniting to fight the foes we face - anger, resentment and hatred. Extremism, lawlessness, violence, disease, joblessness, and hopelessness.

With unity we can do great things, important things. We can right wrongs, we can put people to work in good jobs, we can teach our children in safe schools. We can overcome the deadly virus, we can rebuild work, we can rebuild the middle class and make work secure, we can secure racial justice and we can make America once again the leading force for good in the world.

I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy these days. I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real. But I also know they are not new. Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal, that we are all created equal, and the harsh ugly reality that racism, nativism and fear have torn us apart. The battle is perennial and victory is never secure.

Through civil war, the Great Depression, World War, 9/11, through struggle, sacrifice, and setback, our better angels have always prevailed. In each of our moments enough of us have come together to carry all of us forward and we can do that now. History, faith and reason show the way. The way of unity.

We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbours. We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature. For without unity there is no peace, only bitterness and fury, no progress, only exhausting outrage. No nation, only a state of chaos. This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge. And unity is the path forward. And we must meet this moment as the United States of America.

If we do that, I guarantee we will not failed. We have never, ever, ever, ever failed in America when we've acted together. And so today at this time in this place, let's start afresh, all of us. Let's begin to listen to one another again, hear one another, see one another. Show respect to one another. Politics doesn't have to be a raging fire destroying everything in its path. Every disagreement doesn't have to be a cause for total war and we must reject the culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.

My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this. We have to be better than this and I believe America is so much better than this. Just look around. Here we stand in the shadow of the Capitol dome. As mentioned earlier, completed in the shadow of the Civil War. When the union itself was literally hanging in the balance. We endure, we prevail. Here we stand, looking out on the great Mall, where Dr King spoke of his dream.

Here we stand, where 108 years ago at another inaugural, thousands of protesters tried to block brave women marching for the right to vote. And today we mark the swearing in of the first woman elected to national office, Vice President Kamala Harris. Don't tell me things can change. Here we stand where heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion rest in eternal peace.

And here we stand just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, to drive us from this sacred ground. It did not happen, it will never happen, not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Not ever. To all those who supported our campaign, I'm humbled by the faith you placed in us. To all those who did not support us, let me say this. Hear us out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart.


If you still disagree, so be it. That's democracy. That's America. The right to dissent peacefully. And the guardrail of our democracy is perhaps our nation's greatest strength. If you hear me clearly, disagreement must not lead to disunion. And I pledge this to you. I will be a President for all Americans, all Americans. And I promise you I will fight for those who did not support me as for those who did.

Many centuries ago, St Augustine - the saint of my church - wrote that a people was a multitude defined by the common objects of their love. Defined by the common objects of their love. What are the common objects we as Americans love, that define us as Americans? I think we know. Opportunity, security, liberty, dignity, respect, honour, and yes, the truth.

Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson. There is truth and there are lies. Lies told for power and for profit. And each of us has a duty and a responsibility as citizens as Americans and especially as leaders. Leaders who are pledged to honour our Constitution to protect our nation. To defend the truth and defeat the lies.

Look, I understand that many of my fellow Americans view the future with fear and trepidation. I understand they worry about their jobs. I understand like their dad they lay in bed at night staring at the ceiling thinking: 'Can I keep my healthcare? Can I pay my mortgage?' Thinking about their families, about what comes next. I promise you, I get it. But the answer's not to turn inward. To retreat into competing factions. Distrusting those who don't look like you, or worship the way you do, who don't get their news from the same source as you do.

We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal. We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts, if we show a little tolerance and humility, and if we're willing to stand in the other person's shoes, as my mom would say. Just for a moment, stand in their shoes.

Because here's the thing about life. There's no accounting for what fate will deal you. Some days you need a hand. There are other days when we're called to lend a hand. That's how it has to be, that's what we do for one another. And if we are that way our country will be stronger, more prosperous, more ready for the future. And we can still disagree.

My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us we're going to need each other. We need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter. We're entering what may be the darkest and deadliest period of the virus. We must set aside politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation, one nation. And I promise this, as the Bible says, 'Weeping may endure for a night, joy cometh in the morning'. We will get through this together. Together.

Look folks, all my colleagues I serve with in the House and the Senate up here, we all understand the world is watching. Watching all of us today. So here's my message to those beyond our borders. America has been tested and we've come out stronger for it. We will repair our alliances, and engage with the world once again. Not to meet yesterday's challenges but today's and tomorrow's challenges. And we'll lead not merely by the example of our power but the power of our example.

Fellow Americans, moms, dads, sons, daughters, friends, neighbours and co-workers. We will honour them by becoming the people and the nation we can and should be. So I ask you let's say a silent prayer for those who lost their lives, those left behind and for our country. Amen.

Folks, it's a time of testing. We face an attack on our democracy, and on truth, a raging virus, a stinging inequity, systemic racism, a climate in crisis, America's role in the world. Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways. But the fact is we face them all at once, presenting this nation with one of the greatest responsibilities we've had. Now we're going to be tested. Are we going to step up?

It's time for boldness for there is so much to do. And this is certain, I promise you. We will be judged, you and I, by how we resolve these cascading crises of our era. We will rise to the occasion. Will we master this rare and difficult hour? Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world to our children? I believe we must and I'm sure you do as well. I believe we will, and when we do, we'll write the next great chapter in the history of the United States of America. The American story.

A story that might sound like a song that means a lot to me, it's called American Anthem. And there's one verse that stands out at least for me and it goes like this:

'The work and prayers of centuries have brought us to this day, which shall be our legacy, what will our children say?

Let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, America, I gave my best to you.'

Let us add our own work and prayers to the unfolding story of our great nation. If we do this, then when our days are through, our children and our children's children will say of us: 'They gave their best, they did their duty, they healed a broken land.'

My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this. We have to be better than this and I believe America is so much better than this. Just look around. Here we stand in the shadow of the Capitol dome. As mentioned earlier, completed in the shadow of the Civil War. When the union itself was literally hanging in the balance. We endure, we prevail. Here we stand, looking out on the great Mall, where Dr King spoke of his dream.

I'll defend America and I will give all - all of you - keep everything I do in your service. Thinking not of power but of possibilities. Not of personal interest but of public good.

And together we will write an American story of hope, not fear. Of unity not division, of light not darkness. A story of decency and dignity, love and healing, greatness and goodness. May this be the story that guides us. The story that inspires us. And the story that tells ages yet to come that we answered the call of history, we met the moment. Democracy and hope, truth and justice, did not die on our watch but thrive.

That America secured liberty at home and stood once again as a beacon to the world. That is what we owe our forbearers, one another, and generations to follow.

So with purpose and resolve, we turn to those tasks of our time. Sustained by faith, driven by conviction and devoted to one another and the country we love with all our hearts. May God bless America and God protect our troops.

Thank you, America.

If we are six already, can we meet as planned? But I will like to see Pope191 and Felicity0001

We all need to read this. It is in every rider's app. Take note of the conditions especially the 24 HR and that of phone.

This is just too bad. I remember having an encounter of the nature with a British man 2 years ago. He promised to call me to fix my car but I changed it for him. The next thing the man said offed me. "I'm not a Nigerian".

Lo and behold, I let him go. Got his card. He turned out be the MD of BAT then. He was even the one disturbing me to fix my car days later.
We need to change this bad attitude as Nigerians.

Pearl1910:
Sorry Bro...next time u want to let the person go collect original drivers licence or original document or something valuable from the person. Except God touches that guys heart, he has gone for good. Try and fix your car and move on.

But Kama is a beach and God is on the throne. Whatever a man sows, that he will surely reap. It will surely come back to him.
