GeneralZodd:

CheerfulGiver:
Can you afford to bring 2k? Someone is dropping 30k of his hard earned money and you're castigating and smiling sheepishly like a little boy who just lost his virginity.

They were like 8 with that their long teeth.
And all most all cars fell victim. Before one of them told that rider that they just made it one way. The funniest part was that it’s not one way for bikes

CheerfulGiver:
Done

pope191:
u that's promised me 2k and u didn't send it

pope191:
That's the point there's always we, and I don't know how else to say this. I can only speak for myself and it's not bind by any law. 100k a week is doable from the time of mother Teresa. The question here do I or I don't... I do indriver only, which presently bolt is far better than, my trip to bodera from berger was 6k imagine if I have picked that on a 1.8/1.9 surge and getting a trip back to Berger on surge from chevron that's like 7k. But when u come up and say u want to motive people, like there's a new whole logics from sky, it somehow. Trust me, I do put people thro and help in my little way, I don't have to seek vain glory or insult them. Let's face the truth for once, no matter how vast u think u can b on this job, one day u won't b able to do that same 100k again, how will u feel when one son of prediction start using words on everyone or u calling u stupid old blah blah, just think about it.

Note: I am not trying to drag u into anything, but for once let call bad what it is and if it is for 100k, I've been doing that since my days in Uber, indriver is different ball game and on 9.5 percent wit gout surge or bonus, so I just shouldnt b part of that we.

Pearl1910:
Baba, d rules are the rules. It's a real dashboard and it was posted on the thread by an account. Simple. That's whats needed. Like I said, next time sponsor, judge and jury can come up with additional rules like come to ShopRite, let's confirm ur dashboard, account and ID cards then we will now snap picture and post in the thread. Maybe then u guys will be satisfied. But I know someone will still say, na arrangee.

Crvrider:
Did this really happen?

And yes he is CEO of hoodlum drivers association

Pearl1910:
Only Uber?

Felicity0001:
Ordinary tins no dey move me again.

Felicity0001:
Sisi rad do you know that pain u get after few yrs u fire ur staff only to see him as the CEO of a multinational company. That's the pain dru23 feels right now.

The aggression on other honorable member of this thread is a show of his frustration.

I looked closely to his recent repairs/maintenance list and I just smh, yet baba no go still gree say him need a good manager and economic adviser... Just imagine the duplication of repairs and workmanship.

How much is a pair of tokunbo tire? How much is a wheel?? We never talk of counter balancing oh... I just dey look dey laff.

Any parent who believe his kids cant out smart them is probably deceiving h/h self.

Many will come to you as a boss to say bad things against their colleague just so you fire them, watch them closely, those kinds are the devil themselves who only feel threatened by their colleagues performance to out shine them in promotion and remuneration... As the boss due to trust issue you pull the trigger "boom" the next month you begin to regret but you can't go back again because you messed tins up.

You never knew what a person with good knowledge, experience and expertise is looking for coming working with you... Some are pest, some ara killers of dreams, some consumers and some helpers of dreams.

If dem born you well try it.

Raw2:
Laughs out loud.

I knew there was never going to be a succinct fact based reply to the questions posed, but rather, a perambulation of permutations and thinly veiled ignorance presented as "reasons" why forumites cum ehailing drivers should not express their equal rights which includes posting of earnings for fun, or for whatever cogent or non cogent reason they may have for doing so.

If that's your only reason, I'm happy to inform you that, that singular reason is total bullshit.
The government doesn't need to view a thread on nairaland to inform their decisions. They are neither dumb nor stupid to allow policy decisions bothering on tax revenue to be decided by a few anonymous posters of earnings on nairaland.

Let's properly delve into facts.

Bolt has about 10,000 drivers. (You don't need to believe me, but if you had made your research, you'd have this information). Applying the 32.5% Nigerian unemployment rate to this figure simply means that 3,250 drivers out of 10,000 are currently out of work. Therefore, I'm very correct to opine that there are 6,750 active bolt drivers driving every week. Hang on to this, for I'm coming back to this info.

Are you aware that since August 20th 2020 that ehailing companies and drivers have been working under a new tax policy?

According to Part 4.1 subsection 5 of the document titled, ‘e-Hailing Taxi Operation’, all drivers must pay 10 per cent generated on every trip to the Lagos State Government

All operators of e-hailing taxi service must pay the state government 10 per cent service tax on each transaction paid by passengers to the operators,” the document partly read.
The new policy also mandates all e-hailing taxi firms to pay N25m yearly to the state government per 1,001 vehicles for an operational licence while they will pay N10m yearly for renewal on every 1, 001 cars in their pool

This implies that the state government will collect taxes, licensing fees and then a percentage from every trip completed on these platforms

While operators kick against this provision, if it goes ahead to be implemented on August 20, the real losers will be the customers. Uber and Bolt will pass this 10 per cent cost along to end-users, making cab fares more expensive,” according to TechCabal

The state government also makes it compulsory for all ride-hailing services to make their database accessible to the government

That was excerpts from the punch...

From what you just read above, can you now see that the government already has a database of all our earnings weekly, and that posting them publicly is basically tautlogy? Are you gradually seeing that it's senseless to ask "us" to stop posting earnings?

Can you also now see that you're currently paying 10% tax of every trip to the government and that if they increase taxation, bolt will increase fares thereby protecting you?

Now let's properly calculate.

If there are 6,250 drivers and they make on average 120,000 weekly according to bolt, can you pls calculate 120,000 x 6,250 x 4 weeks ?

Before calculating, average here means the total earnings of all drivers divided by 6250, before you remind me that some drivers make 25k weekly.... Again, Lagos State government is fully aware of these calculations as I reminded you earlier that they aren't stupid...

120,000 x 6250 x 4 = 3 billion naira.
Out of 3 billion, bolt charges 20 percent of which they give 10% to govt.

Therefore bolt charges = 600million naira monthly. Out of 600 million monthly, they remit half to the govt. Therefore, bolt receives 300million naira a month.

300m x 12 months = 3.6 billion naira.

Out our this 3.6 billion, they pay 25million yearly and another 60million as per the 10million per every 1001 cars per year.

3,600,000,000 - approx. 90,000,000 = 3.5 billion naira to bolt yearly after everything.

Therefore, on your request to stop posting, the answer is no deal.

For your 25k weekly drivers, it's either they just stop driving all together or they step up their game. It's their personal decision which should by no means whatsoever, dictate to me what I should, or should not do. I can motivate drivers privately but first, I need to harvest them from this cesspit of lies about ehailing driving. I see that the "we" on this thread want discussions to be centered around their own personal frivolities and excesses which benefits nought, to the general viewing public, intending drivers and intending investors.

This is not a game. You either go hard or go home. You either take the heat or get the fvck out of the kitchen.

Permit me to partake in this mid-semester test lol.

1. We stands for those who are against posting of earnings on dashboard.

2. No advantage, everybody has equal rights.

3. Just one reason.. to avoid encouraging government agencies to tax us out of job. No matter how high the tax is, high earners will comfortably pay it but it will be appropriate (my opinion) if the high earners put the fringe drivers into consideration. There are some who make just 25k weekly but if we give government impression that everybody makes close to 200k weekly they might start duplicating their taxes till the 25k guys won't have any reasonable amount to take home after tax.

Conclusion, just a suggestion.. To motivate others, you can invite them to a platform where you're sure it's only the right people you're motivating, or simply tell the house how much you made without posting dashboard, I personally will believe without seeing your dashboard. That way some lazy drivers will be motivated and there will be no concrete data to get government motivated.

Whichever way, personally I don't care much about posting or not posting, but if I am to choose, I will choose not posting based on the above reason

melviniyke2002:
Nice idea....

Gabrinchi256:
Thanks a bunches

kolagbemi:
Guru in the house.....i have this question. What is wrong in buying Honda car as your first low budget car.

Everyone advise me against buying a Honda Car. Only reason given is leg pulling and low resale value.

Please advise me....Honda cars seem to be the only car i can afford that worth the value.

Suggestions on car or model will be appreciated.
