radautoworks:
what?? this is what happens when you stop paying attention. I was the head chef and i DEFINITELY made a large menu. There are also tv screens with visual menus.. did they not turn them on and where did my menus go??

lol.

ornicus:
receive that, pauper.

thats how fashion designers roll

dont choke on your pauper tears

we are cracking our brains on how to deploy world class solutions for our clients while you are struggling to avoid potholes

life ehn. go to bed. another day of bitter struggle awaits you. hopefully you will end up driving someone like me. last week my driver ran into taskforce on a one way. they took 15k from him. i gave him 5k because he was a nice guy and it was just bad luck on his part. you being the arsehole you are, will probably have already pissed off your passenger and had a day of double loss.

you'll never recover from your tomfoolery. Is that piece of shit you just plastered supposed to impress me? Are you serious? I can have a better proposal up in 20 mins on my laptop.that piece of shit that looks like my primary school report. The only person you're fooling here is yourself.you really wish you could do this,but you can't achieve it in your dreams.a lowlife will always remain a lowife. Accept your circumstances so you can move ahead. Pls bring up something more convincing.
The most painful part is the time wasted to scrutinize the poo

ornicus:
Can you read at all? Olodo. For an older man, you are more stupid than those foolish kids shouting conspiracy over onyeama

Do you understand what engineering design is? It is about deploying scalable solutions in anything you do. I am doing the m&e DESIGN for a shopping complex. This is just one of the skills I picked over my career. Because i am a professional, I do not want a situation where, after we are done, the building will be defaced with 50 dishes. And wires running everywhere, and changes everytime a tenant left.
Accordingly I have done my research. I have to them back up my research with a confirmation that the my solution can be deployed , operated and maintained locally. If this is over your empty head, it is understandable.

You are duller than the laziest technicians i have had to supervise, after all

Follow and learn. At the very least you will learn critical thinking . Not turn left turn right, go straight orders from owners corner

and the eediot explained.after all this big grammars and innuendos,you're still a DStv installer.aponle ni fashion designer, tailor ni everybody
Do you realize what I'm doing to you?you realize the power I have over you right now?what I'm doing to you? A "lowly"driver like me?
You're my bitch and you don't seem to realise it.so much for being a boss lol

pope191:
This fight seems like forever can u people just suspend it, let Anthony Joshua and Ruiz Jr finish dia fight first. Ruiz just remind me of sometim... Pls which of the rice is Bolt going to give drivers as end of d year gift, local or foreign rice? Cos I don't lyk dis local rice

the local rice na we own.it will get better with time. If we no patronise our products,who will?
As for that upstream guy,who's now installing DStv,I believe he's in the wrong thread. Let him take his nuisance to the proper place and stop forcing his twisted thoughts on us here.his cry for help is irritating

ornicus:
So i'm working on a project for a shopping complex. my expectation is that the end users will all have dstv in their shops. since this is at the design stage, I want to do this properly, so we dont end with those horrible forests of dishes and wires running everywhere.

i had initially thought it was as simple as using coax splitters and amplifiers , but it turns out its more complicated than that.




theres a lot of different information out there, however the question which i have not been able to get an answer to - are there local firms that deploy communal/ multiunit dwelling dstv installations? there must be, but my searches are all turning up SA firms.

would appreciate if any such installers can come forward. thanks

thanks

I thought you worked for an upstream sector.oh,now I Gerrit. You install dishes 'up' on roofs.that kinda adds up .

ornicus:
Guy, who told your pauper ass I am a lowlife? You think I am a failure like you? You think I have no marketable skills beyond driving a car?

https://www.nairaland.com/5544277/communal-dstv-installation

You know why I am asking the question there - because I am doing a complete design for a client on a project. And that is one aspect.

I have other jobs I am doing. I am debating whether to become a partner in a different company, or a manager in another. Please accept that you are not my mate, and you will never amount to anything more than a jealous kabu kabu driver. Fooking ediat. I even had the opportunity to return to my old company as a contract employee, but I did not want that.


If you like advise your friends or children to remain in dead end contract jobs. You will do that since you have nothing to offer on terms of skills or competence. Better face your driving. You will probably die there.

Foolish man

If I spam this board with jobs I have done since then you will start wailing again.

so you're now a DStv installer? That's a big leap from the "upstream sector". You're finished bro.your pride just doesn't let you in on it. Your next upgrade is the community recharge card seller.youre using your hands to reveal your fake life and lies.i told you you'd be the undoing of yourself here.
Continue with your I am this I am that, hallucinations,by the time reality sets in, you'll be chief inspector of a public toilet. . Humble yourself to be honoured.

ornicus:
You are very very stupid, do you realise that?
Anybody who has worked with contract employees will advise them the same way.
For your information, foolish idiot, I entered my old company in 2006 and met a contract staff in the department. That person was a contact staff for the entire 14 years. As a member of a union, my salary increased every year, whether I had a promotion or not. This person received no such salary increases and almost no training
This person was let go before me, and his severance was 3m max. No gratuity. This person was still a first tier contract staff. Some second tier contract staff hit 400m severance after close to 10 years of service

People work in contract positions on hope they will become full staff. If you do not have a very very strong willed boss who has your back, that one is story.

There was a colleague with hnd. He was told he could not be absorbed because he did not have a degree. They guy got a degree. Nothing. He got a masters, still nothing. He eventually quit in frustration.

I had a guy I was training. The guy was contract staff. I told him, once I am out, I am sure you will be made full staff. I am out and he is still contract.

In Nigerian run businesses a contract salary position is outright slavery.

It is only in upstream jobs where at least contract jobs have a reasonable salary, but no guarantee of permanence.

I am advising the person based on my direct experience that there is no future in a contract job. Incidentally, poco has made the exact same warning to others. It is even worse in the banking sector. Yet here you are running your dirty envious, broke player hata mouth at genuine advise

This is why I say you have the mentality of a driver. It comes through every time you try to make a point. You are a lower case fool and will always be one.

yawn.self hyping and chest beating as usual. A typical gorilla. youre living a past time. You used to be success,now you're a low life.deal with it bro."when I was this, when I was that." What are you now?pride goeth before a fall.

NB
Never in your miserable deluded life bring the Mrs name into our conversation. I was right about you all along.youll never leave here,cos this is where you get noticed.deprived child

mrjaydee:
Una get wahala for this thread. Too much ego is all I see been displayed in a faceless forum. Even person wey still dey his mama house will come here and type jackshit!

I'm beginning to lose interest in this thread.

If you cant accept other people opinions then get the hell out of here.

Ask yourself why am I on the thread?
Are you a driver/partner?
Are u an aspiring driver/partner?
Are you a rider?
Are u a mechanic?

If you are none of these get your stupid ass out of here!

he's actually looking for rentals but too proud to voice out

ornicus:
all i can say is within the banking sector, you may remain in that position at that salary forever.
even in other industries, where the understanding is that sit in this contract role until theres a vacancy - it doesnt work any more
the question is what are the actual possibilities with uber? or are you just going to swap one dead end job for a different dead end job?

coming from an unemployed low life,this is the highest level of hypocrisy. As it ever occurred to you that most drivers makes more than some bank managers take home?your level of low life is abysmal

cindybaby22:
You that is not chasing the Nigerian approach of paper qualification what have you invented?
Why are you guys so full of mouth on here?? Haba!!!

you just busted a habitual psychotic one.his reputation is unparalleled here.

cindybaby22:
What kind of a person are you?
Someone spending money to develop his/herself is wasting of resources?
Do you think it is every undergraduate that will end up working with their degree? I have rev. Father doing phd, another doing masters? There is never a limit to self development.
Your level of reasoning is myopic sorry to say

you're just way too intelligent for this kind of engagement with this fake guy ma'am.eveything you posted here has defeated his stupid position.theres nothing he has not puffed up himself to be,but he's here obsessed with what we do,though he's not on the platform.i now believe he's systematically looking for a car to drive here.pls don't glorify him with your valuable responses.its like throwing precious stones at pigs, they'll never know it's worth

lin3r2:
OK, thanks for your suggestion. How much do you think is fair as @Tojaah had given me his own take.

Others too have given their suggestions which I am grateful for.

honestly bro I wouldn't know.not done HP before. But like a said your seems a reasonable person.you guys should reach a middle on price terms and conditions.you should negotiate what you can comfortably work with,not what will pressure you and the car.

Peacemaker126:
May you olumide binuyo never have peace for the rest of your life and the pastor who bring this man may you never find peace in life for you to give me someone that didn’t pay me for 1 months and spoil my car and leave it like that may death be in your family day by day to mr olumide binuyo you we never find peace for the rest of your life you and that your so called pastor we suffer if you don’t pay me my debt death we visit your house hold as you spoil my car and still yet he doesn’t pay me for complete a month you we never see peace in your house hold this man hear hold me for a month spoil my car and left it

peacemaker?

lin3r2:
Hi guys I greet you all. All the elders on this forum, all protocols observed.

Please I'd like your unwatered down opinion on this matter regardless of how unpleasant it may sound. The Bible says "in the multitude of counsel there is safety."

I was driving a corolla 2004 a month back but had to return it to the owner because of the many issues it was having. The last being that the brakes failed.

Now, the owner bought the car Nigerian used for 1.25m with the odometer reading at its last which is 299999 (yea I know, right) anyways, when he told me about it and I took a look at it, I had my doubts the car would be a smooth ride on the platform but I still took it because I like trying things out before concluding.

Fast forward two weeks after putting the car on the platform and driving for just one week I noticed the car shorts oil which i mentioned this to the owner and managed it again for another week where it develop another issue. This time the issue had to do with the noise coming from the adjuster. I took the car to the client who then decided to change the engine and after engine change everything was smooth except for increased fuel consumption which was due to the fact that the car on idle mode read 2000rpm.

I took it back to him and the mechanic adjusted it and everything was fine. Though, prior to the change of engine the hub of the car, as I was made to understand by his mecahnic needed changing because it caused a loud wooing sound when I am on 60kmph and was somehow uncomfortable for riders but I totally ignored that.

The pattern became a week on, 4 days off at the workshop because a lot of issues were just coming up. Now the car started developing a fault where it goes off when I am on the move, that I have to shift to neutral while in motion to start the car again. Though God helped me all the times it stopped that I didn't have issues or accidents. I reported it to the owner who got it fixed by changing the remote box and fuse controller or something like that.

This change seemed to work for a while but later started again until God helped me to spot the issue that was causing it to stop through a rewire who was at shoprite trying to shop. The rewire came out from the mall and saw me trying to start the car and asked me to pop the bonnet which I did and he immediately touched somewhere on the fuse box and the car start immediately. I thanked him and he advised that the fault is an electrical issue and not something a mechanic would fix but a rewire I took his number and thanked him again. By the way, this rewire was properly dressed and seemed like someone who was making good money from his job.

While I was wondering what that rewire at shoprite must have touched to make the car start, I later realized that there was this fuse that is labeled 40 that always go hot because it was fused using a wrap of wires. All I had to do when the car stopped was removed the fuse and change the position the other way and voila! The car comes on.

The last time I drove the car was when it failed break on my way to lekki with a rider in it. Though the rider didn't know what happened but after I dropped the rider, I just jejely took the car back to the owner. I told the owner to change all the faulty parts and fix all the issues before the car can work on the platform because the car was now smooth driving after the engine change save for all those small issues that could take a man's life.

The reason for this long epistle is to give a general idea of the cars history which would enable you all make your suggestions.

The owner has fixed everything wrong with the car and done some body work as well. Repairs has cost him over 400k. Now he wants to sell the car out rightly or hire purchase.

Now my questions
1. Would it be wise to even consider this same car for hire purchase?

2. If yes, given all that has happened and the amount of money that has gone into repairs, how much can this car go for hire purchase if at all?

Please your candid advise and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Cc: GazzuZZZ @tojaah my guy @radauto and all other bosses.

Thanks

the devil you know bro.go for it if terms and conditions are favourable.besides,your partner's seems a reasonable man.

Mjosh1000:
Let's observe 1min silence for taxify (bolt) cos opay on boarding is their funeral.

My view
Taxify (bolt) shitty app, no good customer service,
Driver is not important to them all they care about is riders
If opay can do a good job in these areas taxify (bolt) is good as dead.

On the other hand

Uber
With opay on boarding and their incentive on riders, uber will be comatose for a while cos opay go take all the customer. Uber been uber will come back strong after opay has exhaust all its resources.

At the end of the day it will be uber vs o'car cos taxify(bolt) will go 6fit just like gokada and maxOkada

this zero chill is zero chill.bolt don do somborri strong things.

peeps4u:
Uber go hear am. I see them reducing their commission soon.
This was what we were talking weeks ago. If one platform goes, another comes, drivers go always dey okay and make their money because any platform that doesn't favour drivers will be abandoned by the drivers and can't work without drivers which inherently means it dies in no time

the driver is king,bae,and bride.Ocar's entry has defeated some peeps arguement here about drivers relevance in the hailing business.nobody is going to dobale for any taxi park chairman. It's our time.na uber,bolt and Ocar go dey toast us. Congratulations guys,we won

northbird:
How much fuel? Cos that's not part of the dashboard.?

Seriously I don't undastand how people double count in this biz.

Until you deduct money for fuel , WC wud amount to like 22-24k. You can't claim income DTS used up in d biz process.

In BTW, the guy self is still adding Tolls as part of his earnings, money you already gave LCC. He is still adding it as his income.

That's was how 2 ladies yestday told me an uber guy told them he makes 15k daily.

I was like 15k gross or net, they said 15k net, I was like maybe he is just trying to impress them .

That's like 90k net income evertwek, that's means he is doing like 140k ! every week. Haba , is he carrying ghosts or how ?

I just let go. Wen dem still dy insist.

many peeps have been here in the past sugaring their earnings and making hard working folks look lazy.my brother,they fizzled out before you know it. It was like they never existed.they pushed many peeps into trouble with their fake lives. Someone makes a #15k killing by Providence consistently for 3days,he comes here and starts bothering folks how easy it is to net it, whereas,it's mother luck that just smiled on him temporarily.
People have lost their health and cars trying to meet up with the joneses.me?I'll just say work within your limits.stay healthy to work another day. See this hustle as a temporary one while building a solid business model for yourself.dont overdo it.its a rat race.

You guys may want to read this up to clear all doubts about ocar or wetin dem call themselves.

Very detailed and revealing

So you be deeperlife sef, OK no wahala, pls WhatsApp and fix me a time. Pepper soup and juice

used to drink way back bro.found a better alternative ni.

What Am i seeing?

Rubbiish:
Perhaps uber don see your 100k gross video & decided to remove ur promotions just kidding lol. But u guys are big guys, 100k per week?
That is 400k per month? Na big guys full here O

don't get carried away bro.there are consequences if you can bear it.work within your limits.dont be swayed by eye candies .

streetsoldier1:
Dear eharbal.

Your punchlines remind me of fatality in mortal kombat. It was amusing and entertaining at first but with time, I got ashamed and almost cried on behalf of Mr Ornicus.
Please the tape and the way you are casting him is too much. Kindly let the matter rest and stealth your swords. Maybe you both should meet over some bottles of beer and share way forward.
Let's discuss business and share ideas.
Thanks

I feel so ashamed of myself reading this. I just don't know why.thanks you for indirectly showing me the errors of my ways. I will let him be........ For now . I don't do alcohol bro.maybe a plate of hot peppersoup and orange juice will do.

mrjaydee:
The 200naira is capped for a trip not more than 2000naira. I just dey imagine I carry person from yaba to airport and he come give me 200naira

company will reimburse you the difference.

izzou:
They really incurred serious losses when Oride started.

Money plenty for their hand sha

na opera company dey run the package as I hear. the money plenty.dem fit confront Uber head on

izzou:
I wonder how maintenance on brand new cars will be sustained on ridiculously low fares

I wonder

if those rogue Uber/bolt guys get hold of those cars especially this yuletide season,I see them out of business by march.my personal projection tho

mrjaydee:
Eherbal free the guy u no need am. For someone who claims to be working and yet replies every mention here should show u the guy is clown.

But if you wanna meet up the guy anywhere to straighten this issue I'm your plug!

With 43.2 billion naira warchest, nne, it will be a long drawn out war, with lots of casualties.

the body count no be here. collateral damage toh bad.

izzou:
Brand new corolla on HP and yet you want to be collecting #200?

Nothing wey Chidi no go see for ladipo

I'm thinking they'll be runnin a loss like they did oride,then they regulate price after capturing market.

izzou:
When you have $120 million and no sense in your brain, this is the result

I suspect they're using the oride model.all cars will be on hire purchase till it's paid off. I project a massive exodus of Uber and bolt partners porting to this option. Uber may eventually leave Nigeria as they're running at a loss already. My personal view though.

donfortune48:
Don't you think that his reason for being here is because he's planning to start the Uber business.

He's possibly looking for a car on rental.

I couldn't be more savage.what a new angle? Niggas stylishly learning the ropes.
