My brother please read the owners manual.. It should be 5w30 .. That car is tokunbo, when you read owners manual you prolong the life span of the engine....

When a manufacturer builds something, they have an idea how long it should last .. They know if you take care of the product ,it will reach its maximum capacity... example below .. .

Toyota Rav4 .. An independent study came out that says. If you follow the owners manual that particular car will last you a X amount of time or mileage..

Do you think a car like that will last up to 250k miles using 20w50 palm oil .... The tokunbo cars that you guys buy abroad wilk not last you guys even two years if the owner abroad didn't take care of it ... so plz bro don't use that rubbish look for 5w30 genuine oil. .. You don't have to buy from me o .. They are other sellers on that platform that sells oil. .......

Since you might be tight on a budget. I have Castrol gtx magnatec that I imported personally from the USA coming out next week for 15k naira ......

Alpha Beta: Beyond The Sensationalism

By Wagbemiga Mary-Peter Onifade

Much as the sacked Managing Director of Alpha Beta Consulting LLP, Mr. Dapo Apara, has been making efforts to shake off the dirt on his reputation since June 2018 that he was relieved of his appointment for financial recklessness, investigation into the veracity of his claims and the counter accusations by his former employer reveals that Mr. Apara actually has a case to answer since the firm has discovered financial infractions and sabotage on his part.

Mr. Apara, who supervised the operations of Alpha Beta Consulting as the Managing Director for two years after serving as the Deputy Managing Director from the inception of the company, was fully in charge as he made and signed deals (and agreements) for and on behalf of the firm between 2016 and 2018. He was accorded all the rights and privileges due to his office.In fact, it was he and another partner that were the signatories to the firm’s bank accounts, the capacity which made him and the other partner the signing and paying authority for the cheques of even his successor (Mr. Akin Doherty) for more than one and half year after he had ceased to be Managing Director.

He who comes to equity, they say, must come with clean hands. Unfortunately, Mr Apara did not apply this wisdom in his dealings with the company as my interaction with some top and middle-level Management as well as Junior staffers of Alpha Beta Consulting LLP reveals that Mr. Apara should not have gone to this level because he was the “Alpha and Omega” during his tenure as the Managing Director. He had absolute authority to do and undo. Many of them believed that under his (Apara’s) leadership, the company ran a “one man show” as he was the eye and ear of the company, with absolute power and the freedom to hire and fire.

The issues of corporate governance and transparency were not given due consideration by Mr. Apara as there was no good organizational structure in place. The company was not managed as a going concern but only operated as a ‘chop-I-chop’ system. There was no concern for the needs of the clients as applications were forced down the throat of the clients and at some slightest complaints he used to switch off the system and go his way. Many requests of the client were not attended to but rather he was busy developing his personal application Erpcrebit at the expense of the needs of the client.

It took the current leadership of Mr. Akin Doherty to, among other, Identify the challenges of the company and come up with SMART corporate objectives of the company which has since been in place. The objectives are:

* good corporate governance

* customer satisfaction and

* business expansion.

Under the good corporate governance system, welfare packages like insurance policy, Cooperative etc have been created for members of staff. These, according to the staff of Alpha Beta Consulting LLP, were alien during the reign of Mr. Apara. They welcome the new development for which they are grateful to the new management.

The removal of Mr. Apara as the Managing Director of Alpha Beta Consulting LLP was purely as a result of his fraudulent activities and lack of good managerial capabilities which went on for quite a time. The result of the company’s investigation on his activities while in office shows him as a wolf in sheep’s skin as he was neck deep in various financial misdeeds, misappropriation of funds. He betrayed the trust reposed in him as the Managing Director of the company. It is on record that he siphoned about US$5 Million meant for cloud-based services. He was also said to have attempted to bribe his successor when he discovered that the company was investigating his activities while in office. He fraudulently paid a whooping N12,900,000.00 (Twelve Million, Nine Hundred Thousand Naira) into his (Doherty’s) account. By the way, Mr. Akin Doherty is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and a versatile auditor with more than four decades of active professional engagements.

Also, Apara raised a laughable allegation of tax evasion against Alpha Beta Consulting LLP despite the fact that he, a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, was the ultimate absolute controller of the finances of the company at that time. He failed to carry out his professional duties and responsibilities but prefers to pass the bulk to the innocent stakeholders. This is unfair.

While in office as the Deputy Managing Director and later the Managing Director, Mr. Apara was in the habit of using the staff of Alphabeta to run the affairs of his company, Infiniti Segments System Ltd and Infiniti Enterprises, while the salaries and other emoluments of these staff were paid by Alphabeta. Just on 12th October, 2020, twelve staff of Alphabeta Consulting LLP, who were transferred to Osun State in 2011 to work for Infiniti in Osun State (whose salaries were paid by Alpha Beta Consulting for the nine years) returned to Lagos. Meanwhile, all the proceeds of the contracts won by Infiniti Enterprise Ltd (worth billions of naira) were neither reported to nor shared with Alpha Beta Consulting that funded all the projects.

That Mr. Apara has now approached the court to adjudicate his case is a good development if, indeed, he will follow it up to a logical conclusion this time. It is hoped that this will not be abandoned by him again as he has done before. Mr. Apara had severally approached the court but has never been available to defend his claims whenever the case came up in court. In fact, the EFCC, ICPC, and other agencies of government had called several meetings for him and the Management of Alpha Beta Consulting LLP, to jaw-jaw on the matter but he (Apara) has never showed up.

It is hoped that the issue will be resolved by the court once and for all to save Nigerians the trouble of having to see claims and counter claims again. Let the matter be put to rest this time.

Your guess might be correct though. quote author=NaijaCr7 post=94915873]

To buttress your point, I think price mechanism is one of the reason for low ratings on other platform..on indriver the rider has fairly maximum power over price, while on other app it shows them the estimated cost and in most cases the price tends to end slightly above Nd in some cases highly above the estimated price while we cant ignore that sometimes it ends within and below it.

Some riders do take that out on the driver, some will assume you took a longer route or you did something from your side to inflate the end price.

That's my opinion though[/quote]

If you were having this kind of review on indriver, then you shouldn't be having problems with Uber/Bolt riders and nothing would shake your ratings on their app. Or do you switch character when you are on bolt or uber?
My brother the thing shock me too o. Na the same person I be ọ. You know that thing about Bolt, most oloshos using it are terriblè individuals. Unfortunately, I carry most of them. They are quick to give you 1 star for a silly reason. But for this Indriver, the Oloshos I dey carry dey cooperate with me cos Indriver dey block them once there is a complaint.
I have good rating with Uber too. Just that their system is another thing flagging everything not clear to it fraudulent grin

On remitting money ...so many other business is as well affected by this needed actions and it's simple the collateral damage for the needed change, cos on the long run everyone will benefit from it , if sanity is restored to the system. At least reduced/none assault by SARS on our Riders.

So many things to say....but let this sink...The actions of today is what we will reap in the future.....what we are suffering as youth of this nation is the past actions of our parent.....This current struggle is for the future. So don't see it as something bad entirely

I had something like this yesterday night. 5 oloshos flagged me down inside Lekki County around 11pm. They pleaded with me to take them to Chevron drive toll gate. I charged them 1k, which they agreed. On getting there, it appears they were given wrong info na so dey said I should take them to Lekki Phase 1.i told them that is another fare and besides I couldn't afford taking all the hefty 5 of them like that down to Lekki. Na so them change am ọ, started raining abuses on me. Menh, I went livid. Haven't used pepper spray for a while, but immediately one of them slapped me from back, na to spray idiot. Of course, I won't lay my hands on you before you start crying. Come and see aw they messed up my car with drinks.
So, before blaming driver, so far na Olosho matter, ask for the stories wella o. These umutete oloshos are something else. And na dem dey give drivers wàhálà with their 1 star rating.

I just dropped some stupid girls off at sweet sensation yaba.

Got this trip at Ebute Metta

Rider: Oga where are you?
Me: I’m close to the street
Rider: ok hurry please am late (tiny useless voice)
Me: on getting there I notified her.

She entered the car with her friend “oga Na adekunle we go follow” I replied with okay �

Rider; Oga I love your car Increase the ac put the radio in soundcity. Oga increase the volume.
Me: me be like ok oh

Rider at the back put her dirty leg on my back seat brought out food and doing snap (haha what nonsense)

I politely tell the one in front that I don’t allow people eating in my car. Also, she can’t seat like that it’s not proper.

The lady hiss with terrible Yoruba words (ogaooo radarada kiniwongbe) seems like I’m saying rubbish.

I didn’t want to react and there destination is Unilag. So on getting to adekunle, these stupid girls tell me to follow Makoko that they’re going through there. I simply told them that the car am driving is low and also she’s aware the road is bad can’t plight the route.

Hmmm only legends on this hustle will understand how these oloshos react after rejecting their offer. I was mad with their reactions I just end the trip at sweet sensation and they later shouting they ain’t gonna pay me and all shit.

Trip ended 400 I report got refunded

But if I’m hot tempered I could’ve react and it’ll turn to violent so please let’s always hear other side of the story. Nigerians no get chill for anything especially those small runs girls

That's your opinion, the same way another driver will say you people that wind down and sweat like Christmas fowl under scorching sun need brain resetting. When you're alone in the car do you wind down? Why do so when you're getting paid and inconvenient yourself in the process all in the name of suffering your rider. Believe me the very little extra fuel you're saving is not worth the stress. Your interior will also get dirty lol

Any ride on Indriver that you still use AC for this lockdown season, such driver needs brain resetting ọ. Most riders nọ even send if you stay the whole day in traffic. And they will not add shishi to your fare. My style has been, no AC. In fact, I dey stop engine once the traffic is getting to standstill level!

BTW, rides to Island should be given second thought. If possible, go home go sleep ọ. Traffic everywhwre

Thanks for these words Pope. The truth is if all of us should be recounting some of the things we ve done in this work, Felicity0001 own na small sef especially we wey dey carry Oloshos. Abeg, the matter tìrẹ me ọ.
pope191:
You know what I love most about this job? It's easier said, but at the end everybody have to do what works for them. I don't go beyond 16k for full day personal service, one driver took 10k from my regular client , that was how I lost one. It's ohk, we ain't running a monopoly market out here. If I tell u the crazy things I've done driving, you will know Felicity still have big L, but my sanity is well guilded.

Now tell me which driver won't do what I did, I wasn't the one that create indriver, I did not wait beyond 6 mins or is that too much of a time to wait for a rider on set destination wit the intention of blowing empty to ogba, need b or not? She asked for a ride and I also need to get food, but since I've understood the rider I'm about to carry, no fuss, I set food as my priority and if both meet at a reasonable point, it's a win win situation for me. Do you think, if it's during the day or when I'm after target, I'll have her time? In taaoo''s voice 'come off it'.

When one of us joined indriver, he said "he always go for the third bargain, I chucked, nd told him, u will wait all day cos drivers r willing to go to the island for 1k, in the name of let me just leave mainland, talk plenty boss, make we no just climb that hill.

Note: They r some riders you'll reason with and they r some u can never b on the same page, just like I told her yesterday that "our reasons can't flow together, so no point to try to understand each other, lemmi just drop her in peace for d next driver (Tojahh)". You can't reason with a certified Olosho, they are naturally aggressive in nature and if her parents weren't able to tame her till she grew to that stage, boss! Abeg let me aviod her bullets, she have become Buhari's responsibility.

Abuse of privilege indeed. Na to dey check road very well before taking requests on Indriver ọ.
pope191:
If I hear! I don't go to anywhere without checking map first... just did a soft work, from Berger to Oniru, immediately got a trip to Lere, until I meet dis child's of the world... surulere to Agege stadium, rush down to PU, rider was in a pub and from the way she sounds, I knew it's going to b a long wait, I just gently turn back to Chicken Republic on Bode Thomas to pick dinner. Another chapter entirely, it will take 30 min for food to b ready so deh say, tot of my health comes to mind, either I let go of trip and sought out food first, inbetween, I'll b here till they call... Pardon me using st*pid on d rider among riders, food set, yet no call (9:30pm)... about approach PU, she called as I pull over at PU, friend hopped into d car, she forget some tin, had to rush back, took another 6 mins to come out. On our way, she tried to control d wheel;

Me: madam I'm going with the map and MBA way is free
Rider: Ohk

Getting to d link bridge to Opebi, she said "she going to Ojota bus stop, but her friend will drop at Agege. I on my para mode as she keep trying to justify the trip, until her friend steps in about not liking indriver she prefers both "three times they've taken Indriver and it's same back and forth fight". I took out time to school her friend and how the price is fixed, she got the gist and apologise, blamed her friend and we'r all cool like that, tho the stubborn child of d world fail to apologise, who cares? I drop her off and she told her friend it was 1800 ooo, even if we spend 4 hours on the road. Then it dawn on me, my people and abusing of privilege... Las las the friend gave me 2k and ask me to keep the change, as she ask me to get on Bolt, cos she can never use Indriver. It is well

Tha amount is huge bro. Always ensure you see their debit alert no matter the situation. I usually ask my rider some metres to the end of their trip if na transfer or cash. Onec it is transfer, never hesitate to end the trip and ask them to Begin the transfer. This is very easy to do on Indriver.
Duke111:
Good morning fam, pls how do i go about a rider that claimed he made a transfer to me but it’s 3 days now i have not been credited. I have called him to explain the situation but he said he can’t do 2 transfers claiming he has done it hence he is not going to do it again. I reached out to bolt about the situation and bolt said they have blocked him until he pays before they will unblock him. So early this morning i saw his chat that i reported him to bolt so therefore there is nothing he is going to do. I told him wen he pays they will unblock him. The funny part is i try to be civil in my conversation with him but the guy is very callous. The trip is from inside festac to ikeja, #4800. This is the first time since a year am in this work but never experienced it. Experience drivers can advice pls.
