Parking fee at any of the terminals.

ReadaDream:
I really don't like using Indriver at the airport. There's always this argument about who pays for car park and airport toll.

I had to educate one yesterday.

CheerfulGiver:
You don't understand indriver. That trip isn't for you. There's someone closer to her. Let the person take it. It's why I NEVER do fastest finger. I must calculate. Someone closer took it.

You're 43 mins from her. Where she is to vi is just 36 mins. 2700 is not fantastic but it's fair. A little above 30mins

Luxurydriverng:
The fares I see on indriver lately are ridiculous,

Imagine airport to VI 2,700 is that not madness

And amazingly before you say jack "trip has already been taken" I come dey wonder who dey accept these shitty trips

CheerfulGiver:
So it stops after a while?

CheerfulGiver:
See small yansh dey shake o. These people will be worse than bolt of they open office here.

Yes o nobody should come abroad to be driving trailers o .. Na from pot to frying pan , Abi na from fire to frying pan ..... U no drive trailer for Lagos but u want people to be moving America by driving trucks no be juju be dat

Musa 2.0 how the truck driving going ? U remind me of 1 of my guys.. This is even before uber existed and many Nigerians were driving cabs .. Cab drivers were cashing in weekly weekends especially ..........

Na so my friend hear say money dey for driving cabs . Na sa he go get his cab license ..

Omo After 2 days of driving and moving the city. My guy quit the job . Nobody go tell u wetin dey there until u reach there

Another story .. 1 of my guy dey do nursing . The wife dey do nursing too ... While going to nursing school he was importing trucks, Mack trucks dump trucks , heavy equipment.. This was early 2000 , he was doing well o ... This is during the time they were sand filling lekki area . It was a big project at that time, I had dump trucks too. I was buying from him ........

Omo once my guy finish his nursing school and pass his exams .. He lamented his certificate on the wall of his house..... From there on he never step foot into any hospital to use his nursing degree... He faced his importation of trucks and heavy equipment full time.. He has never done any 9 to 5 Job.. He said he can't never do it .......

About 2 years ago he completed building his own house in Yankee.. He built it from scratch up. He bought the land years ago and started building his own house..

This is a 6 bedroom house and keep in mind he didn't built it in a village area in Yankee . This is not an area that you buy house for $150k u now do 4 IT jobs and pay off the mortgage and invite your friends for house warming celebration . Houses in that area can cost up to $ 700k upwards o ......

He said he didn't come to America to come and kill himself and work till he died.. He didn't come to count bridges.. He is a correct Igbo man from the east. Not even from Lagos

Make we dey try to invest in our selves too . And teach our kids entrepreneurship... No be to be slaving for another man company o

Choose anyone of them to be referee.

Glithronix:
Not even the percentage alone, the peace of mind and the freedom to choose who you want carry, dey knock bolt out in those areas.
Indriver has won 80% of my time already.
I've regained my DS on bolt already and I'm not owing them.
I dey use bolt do cruise once in a while only if I want to say hello to their app.
Much respect, boss.

YeyeGbami:

whatisthetruth:
Does anyone here have a car maintenance budget strategy with these driver apps?

I was thinking that maybe I'd put away 1k per day for car troubles, but as it is now ehn, the way my car is vibrating and doing gbakabi ka ka, shreeeeeeeen, bugun, ka ka ka , click click click kk kk kk... I don't even know anymore

It feels like everything on the car needs to be changed, from shocks to compressor to alternator to shaft (click click click).

It is almost like I am driving a danfo

I was just sad going back home, but tomorrow is a new day by Gods grace and I need a plan.

Do you guys put money aside per day for car repair?

dru23:
I came to work smart not hard .. If am putting that much time for any job , I rather do it for my business...

I say no to slavery by working 2 jobs ..... Can't come and kill myself and work myself to death o. Work will always be there .. Once person drop dead from working 2 or more jobs.. Life continues and you will be easily replace.......

But if you drop dead working for yourself .. Hopefully you family will inherit whatever millions you left behind .. At least you left them a legacy .........

......

Most uber drivers are graduates and have 1 skill or the other. And also you can share your jappa experience so that we can all learn ........

Sharing your experience and steps you took will greatly help a lot of people...........

" we rise by lifting others"

We don't want our fellow uber drivers to jappa from frying pan to fire , Abi na from fire to pan .. I dey confuse ....
Your contribution will be greatly needed.

ndubuisi2021:
Most of the big companies and corporations are here. It's a no brainer that most people would come to Lagos for positions in those places.

But, I don't think migrants coming from other states are to blame for the terrible state of things in Lagos. The vast majority of blame goes to the government. They make so much from taxes and do not channel this money back to keep up with developmental and planning. If there are good roads, electricity, good traffic management, upgrade of slums, it will go a long way.

Let's take a cue from China. Beijing is an example of how you manage spaces and properly expand. They came from the very bottom to where they are today but corruption has eaten deep into our brains. My brother, let's not derail the thread. Just that we live and work in this city. It's painful sometimes when you just can't leave your house for work, business or pleasure because of one environmental issue or the other.

Pearl1910:
Abajooo...abeg where did u bite her?
asking for a friend o

BAZ001:
You are not far from the fact but the truth is the
1. Time difference (not easy to keep up with happenings in Nigeria or nairaland unless I’m being mentioned. )
And
2. Your heart will always be Where your treasures are
You will tend to focus on making more money, friends and learning to understanding your new environment, work , way of life and fun... fun many people+ovens killing you with attention.
I was always on nairaland Uber thread because I want to learn more and relate with people in my field, though some moved to fake telegram group and asked for your marriage certificate.
Right now I’m more on IT forums and trying to mingle with people in my field and catch up with Indians and improve myself, cos this Indians full everywhere Nigerians full.

Maybe if I start selling oyel or lemon limca car, I will be making comments here regularly.

Life no hard here but levels just changes

Thurmieee:
I had a physical confrontation with a rider......I had to defend myself she was also destroying my car.
She bit me and I bit her back

Pearl1910:
If u use kpalasa phone do this work u r bound to have these issues. So Felicity, leave this argument for people that are using good and standard phones with strong network but still having these experiences

To everyone that this has happened to, I insist that if u have troubles, like missed trip, flash trip or pressing phone and trip refuses to pick, blame it on ur phone and network. Not Bolt.
If u want to be truthful to urself these things also happen at times when there is no bonus to chop. It's just coincidence because Bolt always gives bonus 80% of the times throughout the year so it's also bound to happen when u r pursuing bonus.

Glithronix:
This @bold sounds strange to me cos I never see this offer yet. Maybe because you're an old timer if I am right.
Actually, We talking about daily bonus targets, which I said I always won without any mischievous trick from bolt.
And you know say once you complete the ride number, completion rates, acceptance rates and hours required, na instant update dey always do for that, and it will reduce my negative in let's say within an hour.
I will like to experience this una complaint so that I will halt hailing bolt on this aspect, make I no sound different among many. And make I no go look like a new employee of bolt.
Much respect, boss.

Glithronix:
Okay, baba.
No vex, sir.
I'm humble and didn't mean your are a LD, I just pointed out a general observation on that area.
Well, I never experienced the cheat on bonus sha. It has never happened to me.
Maybe you had declined or rejected or cancelled some others prior to that which must have reduced your percentage drastically.
If this wasn't the case, then maybe something is wrong somewhere, cos I never experienced any single cheat from bolt concerning the BONUS stuff.
Let's CC: pearl1910 on this.
Much respect, bossman.

Gentlelife50:
I have succeeded in cancelling two of orchid requests, I know it's not their faults the road is in a deplorable condition.
But let us all be feeling the heat, maybe we'll get sense One day.
Assuming they are not too comfortable with the condition of the road as residents it won't get this bad, a lot estates springing up on that axis yet no road.
Developers will be telling client it's opposite Chevron bla bla just to sell market yet no road, I know if it continues maybe they will tag those responsible so something can be done

Felicity0001:
My brother people are wicked and lack conscience in this country. The man I helped to put off fire in his car in PH years ago promised to replaced it the next day, 3days after I saw him hustling with the same car that the entire fuse box, MAF and other components was burnt. Other days I saw him driving pass without even coming to say oh please oh at least give a reason.

I just SMH and chuckled.

Just that I can't stand and watch somebody else's car burning without doing anything about it when I've an extinguisher in my trunk, if not doing good for some people is not worth it.

I later spent about 3k+ replacing that extinguisher... D tin pain me

sandammy:
All the helps I've been rendering drivers who needs helping in whatever way such as battery, jack or jump start cable, I actually got rewarded for them today. Alhamudullilahi.

Today that I'm off from work, make I hustle from 1 pm to 11Pm, last trip going to Chevron and hoping to meet up with bolt bonus conditions, so that I can start coming home since road for don free

It happened that 2 run girls I carry go one club for Ikoyi, changed destination to Chevron, as I was coming, I began to perceive the odour of a burnt rubber, asked these girls if they also perceive it, they said 'no', then I saw something like smoke because it was already to 11PM by then I was already on Awolowo road before that falomo roundabout.

Na so I parked and open door going towards my bonnet. Guess what I saw. Car was on fire around the headlight by the passenger side.

I wasn't aware that my attention was being called to the fire before I entered that Awolowo road because my windows were up.

immediately I saw the fire my mind just cut as no get fire extinguisher but I have 5 liter of water in my booth. Brought out the water and emptied it on the fire, by then I've quickly opened my bonnet. The fire no gree die even with the use of one of those small size extinguisher.


I thank God because one of the people telling me my car was on fire was a lady in security uniform and as she saw that we were trying to extinguish the fire, she quickly brought a bigger size of the fire extinguisher and quench the fire finally.

Imagine this had happened in a deserted area with no one to help. Person for rost inside car or loose the car to the fire.
