I need your guidance o Elders.

I'm a total newbie who loves to drive for passion. Not less than 13yrs years driving on lagos roads (Majorly Mainland sha). I'm considering using my Honda Civic 06 for Bolt/Uber (or both), self-driven and I just downloaded the App and registered as a driver.

I will appreciate all the helps, advises nd tips i can get to make my new adventure a fruitful one. I have learnt alot following this trend, I hope to learn more. Is there anyone I can call on phone or chat directly with for tips. My number zero 8 zero 2 three 9 nine 7 six 9 eight.

Since you have successfully registered, just go online and drive and obey all traffic rules. The more you work the more you discover what works for you

kanuisagoat:
This really cracked me up

How una take dey come up with these things?

And you fit drop the Facebook link or something make I go laugh

I'll find it and post it here

FuckEveryday:
These ones are new competition to Bolt. Them say no surge
Maybe they'll give their staffs car make dem enter road

Na mumu people, I saw their advert on fb saying their fares are the lowest. I trust drivers, they've told them to better come with their cars and drivers.

Dem no dey telli person, when their riders wait tire dem go come back to the one with surge

tranxo:
It is the receiving registrar that will charge you the transfer fee, not 123reg

Oh okay. It's safe to register domains and move them out after 60 days lock then. Thanks

Mr2kul:
Thanks for your response.
But please what's IMHO?

In My Humble Opinion

Speaking of 123reg, I notice the normal price is £15.99, which is above $20. That's quite expensive to renew in case the name is not sold

I also tried to check how much their transfer fee is incase I need to transfer it to another registrar but can't find it. Can anyone throw more light please?

Pearl1910:
Lolz... experience is d best teacher...I never do round trip on a short trip except it's on 1.5 and above surge. That one will swell up small and u r taking me back to where surge is.

What if surge don get request before you return

tojahh:
70 years old man

You think you're wise by not dropping his contact. You're doing yourself. No beg am for his Facebook name. Leave that side, he will beg to close that Facebook account.

But the thing is... You no dey take advice, upon all the advice, na Uncompleted building you go pay for inside Ishieri.

Tueh.

Question is, has he been to the building sef? Iseri is not a new site where you have new buildings. Maybe they're renovating sha but I don't think this man did a physical inspection before paying. I wish him the best outcome

Pearl1910:
Ha...hope u have not also been scammed in that side too Sha...

I'm already pitying him

donfortune48:
Omo.
This month have been good oh!
I chop Bolt's bonus back to back.

Let me take some days off before I continue.

BAZ001, you can see that I don dey enter ant league small small. So no dey link me with Lady D gangs again oh! Talkless of their executive positions.
I've passed the Barton to Gentlelife50.

A whole month you made less than 100k when others are making 200k in a week and your highest daily earning is not even up to 16k and you already see yourself in the ant league. This is odifacorious and sagalecrosic to the image of we ants. Be careful o

Good days guys...Pleas read and advice me

i am the guy that said i will be travelling to lagos to meet with the person processing my drivers license and other vehicle papper...for those who may be seeing this for the 1st time , i posted that i needed to do license and someone called me from here , we talked for a long time and chatted on whatsapp ,he assured me that he is into helping people get new drivers license and he is not a scam , he cleared all my doubt , this is happening around middle of july....i sent him money , so after much delay and argument between both of us ,he asked me to come to lagos for capturing which i posted here and many folks here asked me to go to lagos 1st ...i went to lagos and called him, after many calls he picked my call and asked me to wait at the roadsafty office that someone will come and attend to me by 10, i waited till 5pm i didn't see anyone , then the roadsafty officials were feeling pity for me ,so when i called him to speak with one of the official at least to either give me the number of the person that i am waiting for or tell them (the roadsafty officials) the person name since they all work in the same office he cut the call... so i waited till evening no show from him,i left that Thursday since i don't have much money with me, i slept in an uncompleted building at Mowe...i was in that building throughout friday trying his number and the number was not going through , so friday evening i left with a night bus going to East , we where at Ijebuode when his call entered my phone .....He told me that the only thing he will assure me is that if he did not do the drivers license that i will be getting my money back, that i should calm down by monday he will call me ...Monday passed and he did not call as promised ,but he sent a text that i should not start doing another drivers license implying that there is still hope in the one he is doing .... Yesterday i sent him a text telling him that i can wait but he must tell me his facebook name so i can send him request ,at least i can know who i am doing something with, he ignored that part.......Today again he send me a text telling me that i should give him this week,if i don't get my money i should ask for refund......why i am posting this stuff here is for you guys to advice me ,i don't really want to start posting someone private details here, because i still feel he is genuine but failure to give me his facebook name is clearing some doupt in me that this is Scam. i know you will read this too because you saw the last one i posted and we talked about it , meaning you will see this one too , what is your facebook name ..and if you are advising pleas also be aware that he will read it thanks ....

Since you don't want to listen and prefer to cling to your hope then don't worry, keep on waiting for him. He will still ask you for more money that's probably why he's still contacting you. You have been scammed.
If this person is genuine he would be bold enough to come out here and clear his name and explain what's going on.
Genuine business people love popularity because it will give them more customers, this your own loves privacy, that lies the answer you seek

Pearl1910:
Danfo are the fourth arm of government
"No do falafolo on d road ooo". Prevention is better than cure.

My last post about police arresting for one way offence and transferring to lastma happened days ago at iyana oba coming from agbara because I went to pick soneone from seme border.
To be honest when I noticed I was the only car, I've already told myself this may be one way o cuz every other vehicle on the road were commercial buses and it was too narrow to turn back, one way wey get traffic sef.

Imagine having a special road only for commercial vehicles. Las las police catch me, drove me to their den. The guy collected my key and said I should go and meet the lastma guy.

I wan change am, begin argue say oga na police arrest me no be lastma. For where the guy just waka comot leave me with lastma.

I made my call to my police connect then brought phone to another policeman, this police no gree collect phone o, he said I should give the phone to lastma. To cut the story short I paid 2k after all the talky talky.

Extras: If you have issues with these people, try and settle with them while you can as soon as you can.
After agreeing to collect 2k, I didnt have cash up to that so they asked me to use a nearby POS. On getting back their oga was around so I just signalled the lastma guy and he signalled back. When the oga left they said he asked them to bring the cars (mine and one Corolla) to the office.
The guy had to pause for minutes after their oga left, saying that he didn't want to offend the person he promised my release to on the phone, at last he said I should bring it. I'm sure the next victim won't be able to bail him/herself out, office is sure.
So my people, especially towards evening when they have to deliver cars to the office, don't waste time if you have a chance to bail yourself

davit:
The woman on the ground is/was a mad person. I nearly hit her on 3rd Mainland bridge this afternoon.
She was walking in the middle of the road. See what she caused at last.

May God continue to keep us safe on the road.

I almost hit a mad man on the bridge too, abi na the same person because he just jumped down from the middle barriers and I had to quickly swerve to avoid hitting him.

BAZ001:
Lol, what if you get sweet surge to that area , you no go fit go cos of police ooh.

Police just stopped me now on ochid road, I wasn’t wearing seatbelt cos I just dropped one jazebel daughter that wasted my time.
Fortunately for me or ask God dey hear my prayer. The police was more interested in my papers and DL than seat belt.
In the midst of traffic offense i prefer police to Lastma

Police still dey arrest for seat belt? I drive pass them regularly without seat belt and they don't stop me. I'm only wary of lastma and road safety guys.

The bolded is the reason they say police is your friend, you know police will catch people for one way offense now and hand them over to lastma. They know lastma means more money and they end up sharing together.
How come many people know who to call when it comes to police matter and few to nobody to call when it comes to lastma matter. Police is truly your friend

Pearl1910:
More like na only person wey get scoin scoin go drop 50k deposit to carry car on rentals.
So the advert will only attract the kind of people he doesn't want.
wahala be like bicycle.

Lol. Quite on point

Gentlelife50:
U never get driver since then?

All available drivers don get scoin scoin because of gambling and drugs

izzou:
[color=royalblue]It's true ohh

Well you can say, "I stopped driving 3 years ago. I left Lagos and came back. I don't really know my way anymore"

[/color]

Felicity001:
Hmm... So sad! Such an experience can not be forgotten in a hurry.

And that stupid man that calls himself jagagban is saying age doesn't matter... May cancer be their portion with their children and grand children

Tf

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Exactly

I remember a common trick we apply here.

When you are not familiar with a particular terrain, just tell your rider that it's your first day of doing Uber driving.

Watch them guide you like a baby that can't walk well [/color]

I think the number of trips a driver has completed is displayed for riders to see. Me I used to say I don't work on the island/mainland whichever applies

Pearl1910:
U better not get yourself into big wahala with a stun gun. Even a pen knive sef is money if police see it on u or your car.
Someone slept in cell and parted with over 200k because police found a cake knife that fell out into this car when he made a cake delivery.
If na gun, fake or real, they go just tag d person armed rubber, family will be billed 1m for d person's release.
One popular movie director sef was arrested like that even when police saw all d cameras, gadgets and crew and that it was obvious they used it for acting a movie. For where...them no gree o. Na station they settle d matter with 300k

They obviously know when someone is truly innocent, but their greed will not let them reason with you. Money must drop. That's why majority of the cases don't get to court, that is hardly their intention. Only those that do stronghead will end up in court

XGhost:
No nau. It's you guys that have been shifting the post since.
First y'all said it was impossible, then it's not sustainable, then your body and car will break down. Now you've separated cheerfulgiver. At least you've accepted his own.

My position ESPECIALLY regarding posting dashboard has always been, don't legislate for anyone what they can and can't post. It's obviously viewed differently by different people.
Secondly, I have an issue with rent being 25k AND drivers still telling stories
Thirdly, be balanced in your narrative. If you have bad days you must also have good days, say it.
Then allow the reader weigh the pros and cons as per his own unique situation and then decide.

Now if someone comes here and sees cheerfulgiver's 200k a week and based off of that ALONE he thinks the job is easy and without its cons what do you think of that person. He's either a fool or a thief.

Or an awoofer, somebody that likes awoof

VaselineCrew:
Braaaaah!

Say it isn’t so!

That is daylight robbery men, how can they tow a vehicle in trouble, not as if they are towing to your mechanic for you, but they are towing you as an offender.

Gosh, everyday, I hate Nigeria more.

What were you supposed to do? Like ensure that your car never ever ever breaks down while driving? Who can guarantee that? Not even Elon can guarantee that as some Tesla’s have broken down while driving.

We used to have LASEMA who used to tow cars to safety for free. I think they did not maintain the trucks because they're not bringing in money for them to embezzle. All they are after is money money money.
Now if road safety guys stop you and they have nothing against you, they will come up with one flimsy excuse like the air in your tyre is not complete
If you change am for them in a reasonable way, they will free you and try their luck on the next person

Felicity001:
Na heavy scam! By the time they tell you it's for top drivers watin again u won do? That's why I do as my power reach I close shop.

As for the accident... Next time just call police make them show don't allow him go.

Sorry bros please take some time off... Last week na okoda damage your headlamp this week another one abeg just fix ur car then take some weeks off then come back stronger and better against the mber months.

Take some weeks off because dem jam him car

Lastma and police won't be happy about this, their revenue will drop massively

Felicity001:
Abeg how do I do that on my phone... Mtn won kill me with messages

Na google I get the code for airtel that time, but when OTP refuse to enter I still google code to unblock. Now I'm living with their annoying unsolicited messages every blessed day, they keep repeating the same messages over and over and sometimes they send the same message in the space of 10 minutes. Government really needs to do something about it

VaselineCrew:
This isn’t even about requirements, it won’t even let me receive the code which is the very first step of the app.

I truly believe it’s 9Mobile sha

Maybe you have blocked unsolicited messages, try and unblock first and try again

CheerfulGiver:
Infact, no excuse. I can't afford downtime. I've only changed brake pads this month. Spent total of 4500

Do you use OEM parts or normal toks/new parts?

lanrexdo:
How much will the rider pay? 500 or 900??

500, bolt will add your balance to your balance

lanrexdo:
Why all this discounted prices. It is so annoying. Yet bolt go still collect charges and be go still reflect like say na the money you made. O wrong now.

The discount is not from your earnings, your money is complete. Check your balance

pope191:
*smile* my mom still called me like 3 or 4 weeks ago and was angry at me like i don't call. Deep within, I felt like the last time I called, she was good and I have already make her to understand if she needs anything, she have me on speed dial. Whenever she's Ard, she went to spend the better part of the day seeing my face, she just want me to chill and won't understand what the running is all about and I'll look her and smile, mama I need meet target u won't understand. Life is crazy, but destiny is something we have no control over... during her last days, she couldn't talk, now nah me they call her, ready and willing to spend all the whole hours to sit and chat that chat of I'm not too busy again, but my mama no fit respond. We live, we learn

It is well bro. It is really well

emmancecute:
Pope191, accept my heartfelt condolence. This is a lesson to some of us that as been priviledged to still have our loved ones around especially our parents. Pls, lets try and take good care of them while they're still alive so we won't have regrets while they're gone. I can't stand the pain of loosing my mother, not just yet!

After seeing his post and those of others that also lost a parent recently, you know I had to call my mum and just greet her, we spoke on the phone for almost 1 hour gisting.
If you still have parents alive please don't take it for granted, we don't know what we have until they're gone and when they're gone there's no rewind button

pope191:
Lol, no one is asking u to change, let's just keep eyes on the goal without preaching hostility. I see folks here addressing another with disdain and to me it 's feel like, what's the difference btw the I have arrived drivers and the riders, like our ego is our only disease without a cure or what?

Yep u didn't mention me, but the essence of message is always to encode to decode and here is a public forum *smile*. Chucmoore is a good example that motivation can b pass without insults, but like u say, it's ur personality and good or bad is not really in my place to say.

Anyway: lost my mom this morning, kind of seeing the world from a whole new angle. Tempted to go drive, just to distract myself since I live alone, I don't even know what to do. So my nigga, it's really all peace from here.

May her soul rest in peace and may God give you the fortitude to bear the loss. Accept my condolences bro.
