Wat I stated is a common experience of a lot of drivers. It swings both ways. Uber n Bolt.

Bro your summit is not far fetch.

But I have a question for you which is, do you see the money you get driving with bolt?

Babadee1900:
I don’t understand him again. I they wonder if it’s too much of green bottles sef

Very tiring to read.

Me self laff tire after reading the post.

I won't modify it tho, its all part of the fun so let me enjoy it.

1daboi:
Don't know if it's your phone or you but try and read whatever you type again before posting. Or has the yogurt started affecting you? This is what the humble people of Ojodu told me to ask you.

Hahaha... My brother no b small thing oooh the yoghurt sweet die... Na him make d phone type rubbish oh instead of sim card. But thank God the good people of ojodu know what the good people lekki is talking about.

Bigleaf1006:
Be like say bolt dey pay you for ads, the way you are always on dia mata pass Norma!!

Be like say the guy na journalist

sharpk007:
U cheated yourself in a way, next time if you re doing a return trip, always tell the rider to update as you re getting to a particular stop.

Sometimes Bolts app rolls back especially if the trip is a round trip, only d minutes will be correct.

Two ways to solve dis.

1. Asking rider to always update as trip progresses

2. For such trip when you re about to end it, note dis , wen U slide on end trip as the app is rolling, switch to Airplane mode or off data(anyone), d app will.write no network connection, once U see that switch on again, Ur fare will be calculated to the last KM.


Note i have tried this several times and I don't have issue wit incomplete KM again

You dare not allow rider to update trip what so ever, I've experience this more than twice on uber, the moment you update trip especially if the request came in with a surge and it's later updates believe you me such trip will be calculated base on the present update.

My last experience waz about 3weeks ago. I was in Surulere one evening when I got this 3rd party card trip to Unilag area, on our way the girl said she would be going to isolo afterwards. I complained that I needed cash instead and then we agreed to offline.

On getting to Yaba, different request was just balling in and even with surge as high as 3.0. Before her friend joined us in the ride we tried to settled price for the offline trip by checking the estimate which was around N3500-5000. Babe refused to pay 5k, in my thinking make I just run am like that with the card believing the sum up would get to 6k at the end of trip.

I updated the trip from my end and the girl asked her bf to also upsate from his end as well unknowing to me, which ever way I believed the surge in the area as at then would up.

Trip lasted about 2hrs to get to her destination, lo and behold trip ended N3,400 or thereabout.

My brother I almost cry.

Best thing is just leave the app to be running like that with the first request while you input the address on Gmap.

I've also experience a surge trip cancelled out to update of address on the app. I mailles uber but no proof to backup my claim. I just rest.

northbird:
That would be a good one.

I guess they are losing drivers due to cancellations.

Uber thinks bringing new drivers would mitigate the effect of the banned drivers, in the long run, yes, but in the short run, they are actually losing revenue.

Cos, it takes sometime for the rookies to come to speed on how to make money.

The best drivers from a revenue perspective ( that earn most) are those that filter/select their trips. You need destination for that. Esp.in a city like Lagos

Seeing destination reduces cancellation rates for both drivers and riders. Riders will only cancel by choice not out of desperation.

It helps the driver/partner plan his/her trip.
You work on the island. You close from work, you live around Ajah/ sangotedo axis.

N uber is bringing trips going to ojodu/berger, abule egba, mainland. .

This will make d driver cancel, rider is frustrated, driver is unhappy he can't get a trip home.

Eventually driver gets blocked, Uber loses money, the cycle repeats itself.

In Lagos, some areas you don't want to go to, some drivers/partners will like to go there.
So keep the rides open.

Brother man, you sabi.

I hail you.

If you follow uber on Twitter then you must have seen how I analysed almost same things you just pointed out here.

I suggest you take this to Twitter for wider view so they too can see it.

It seems uber is working on their app. I don't seems to see my balance.

I did a complain to them on Twitter and they replied that I can now see rider's location when a request comes in. Like, is it rider's location we need or destination?

I've said it b4, I'm very sure their programmer is been affected by the covid-19 reason for the serious setback they're presently having.

I hope they bounce back stronger.

Blackbishop:
Will surely keep to this boss.
Thanks

You're doing well my boi

Keep it up.

But don't forget my one bottle ooh....

Unto say d yoghurt I lick today no go down well with some people so let's c how the bear with snake meat go be.

Mjosh1000:

Seconded.

I believe the good people of mushin will do well at this. So people of mushin over to you pls

chucsmoore:
. You re Back from hibernation with a different moniker. I guess this is gonna be an entertainment on a different level. From Angryigboman to Angryigbodon, it means something big is really cooking.

The ban wey him go chop this time around even his son card would not be able to open another account

tojahh:
Tell Madam I have Older School Mix

We the good people of abule egba say no oven lighting but in any case where oven needs the good people of badagry we therefore pass madam over to you with the escort of a sanitizer and antiseptic soap for mouth washing after licking the plates

northbird:
Just avoid blocking by uber, until you can resolve d bolt issue.

For me, uber is a last resort app.. I'm careful with the bolt app, so far it has proved more resourceful income -wise than Uber.

Thanks brotherly.

She actually didn't spend too much time.

She gave me the bottle of action bitters she bought to help her open, the cover was really bad. That was our first interaction after the greetings.

I noticed madam was singing back to a music playing on the radio which was later cut short by the presenter.

I went unto my audiomask app and search for something similar "old school mis".

na so madam head boast, she started singing along with joy, shouting, asking where I got this from. B4 I knew it madam started crying seriously sharing tears of joy.

She stopped at a supermarket store and bought some things, came back inside and gave me a yoghurt.

I never knew music could get people so emotional and crazy like this.

Madam is a France citizen, one can tell from her looks self.

Im currently on a card trip from magodo to ICM and the rider just went inside to do sime shopping while asking me to wait. Though she told me right frim the moment I tried picking her up. Uber has been flagging me for too much of cancellations so I decides to go in the trip but I really dint know how long this lady will be taking.

What do you guys think. Bearing in mind it's 1hr free waiting at the car lot.

Should I end trip or keep waiting?

nwizu042:
This is unbelievable. I am speechless.
He must have jazzed the driver.

Pure jazz! People like me no even get pass 2k for my uber/bolt registered account so how that kind jazz won take identify say I get that kind miney for account?

I pity for the driver shall. May God help him to recoup back his money

Beng1234:
I never see eyinola today. Hope say everything Dey ok.

Same here oh.
I hope dude is safe

Phred1717:
My bro.. the "set destination" option has been removed from bolt app. It's now On/Off.

I don't seems to get you right. How do you mean on/off?

gafman222:
Thanks so much. I'll surely get another engine by next year God willing, then sell the car after changing d engine

Bros if you like take it the pinp my ride na d same amount you go still sell am. Just sell it off asap without fixing anything.

But make sure you buy me a bottle of bear with 1 wrap of sk for this advice because nobody will ever guve you such an experience truth.

deedee44:
They're supposed to leave an interval of at least 15 minutes between the change of traffic flow. Some cars will climb the bridge at 11.54 and won't even get to the middle of the bridge by 11.55 when the other end will be open for cars going the other way to climb. They want cars to start having head-on collisions abi

No student is ever ready for an examination no matter how long the semester is.

Bigleaf1006:
It behoves on the buyer to do his due diligence by offering what price he sees appropriate.

If you agree to buy an 03 Camry from me with a bad engine at the price of a toks, what sin have I commited.

You had the freedom to inspect, test drive and even bring your kazeem

Abi ooh... After all its business, it's has no profit or lose margin.

PuZZyNegro:
The attack was necessary. If you can't disclose the full problem with the car so buyer can price rightly while keeping fund for fixing the problem with the car, then you are a yahoo boy

Henn! Wu say?! Are you calling our own dey a Yahoo boy?

radautoworks:
It doesn't matter how much you say it people will still do it their own way because they know better. De matta don tire me.

abi ooh... Just like I Twitter some weeks back. "The human race are the most stubborn god God has ever created that he even regretted creating it and He (GOD) is still trying hard to fix His mistake".

I'd about a thousand retweet.

the human(god) is so stubborn same time wicked than every other god.


In the other side,

Yesterday my motor turn canoe for Surulere, that road that leads to Eric Moore, the road was terrible so I'd to tell the guys I couldn't proceed sue to the bad road. Dropped then at that junction close to Orile bustop. Trip ended N1800 the guys dash me the change.

na so I turn beliving I would be able to go through the road I came in from not knowing those security has closed the gate.

Come see people stranded at the b/s at that time of the night past 9pm. Look at their faces could only sight a woman who looked pregnant.

"na so them dey rush us"

called the woman she said she's going to costain.
Me: I'll stop you at safety. (To me a cooperate man shouldn't be at that junction at that time let alone a pregnant woman)

You needed to see the way she hurriedly enteres the car and the relief ahe felt when she entered the car.

Got to the diversion security don close gate waka. na so I take resort to swim pass since its the only road I know.

Since morning till now that I'm writing thua my car is still at the car wash. Ive spent N2,500 already.

Meanwhile, madam was going to ajah. I just hope she gets home safely

Emmagenius:
UNILAG does not dash GP dear sir....I earned it, so also others....For your information, in the Dept of Accounting, Those counted to be on first class were up to 80 in the 100L first semester and I think around 65 in the second semester 100L...To further cement this, my friend who is also an Akokite, smashed a 5.0 in 100L first semester and 5.0 in second semester!!...He was recently recognised by ICAN...His picture is currently on the ICAN website as I speak to you..As a t today 13th July 2020....It this shows intelligence!!....At UNILAG, we have this zeal for excellence....Many tried to get into UNILAG but didn't hence the criticism....We understand sir

You should do well to explain reasons why Unilag graduates more first honorary degree holders instead of take defence or see it as criticism simply because a few persons couldn't secure admission into the school.

If you and other likes where swapped to other tertiary institutions like UNN, UI, UNICA only to mention a few how well do you think you can graduate with with the same enthusiasm you just spoke of? I'm sure you would be dazed.

A quick question, how many of your professors in unilag do we have in IUPAC, ICAN, NSE and other recognised bodies?

The truth remains unilag throws the first class honors to the air while other schools lock it up in their cupboards for the genius students to crack open the code.

Notwithstanding sir, I'm not trying to under rate you neither the institution for it's great works rather my point to op is this, forget 1st class once you have such a grade in your first year, but 2nd class upper isn't far fetch.

Just as I suggested to them on the radio when the issue was raised about the closure I'm very much happy about this.

Same system employed in the dopemu flyover

What this means is that from about 12mid night to 12noon the open lane would be a one way towards thr island from the mainland.

From 12noon to 11:55pm midnight would be another one way from the island to the mainland.

So you have no business plying the 3md bridge coming n going against these time from the island and vis ver sar at these hours.

Babadee1900:
Wow! That’s about 19300KM. You sure that’s not too much?

For us not to mislead the general public because I know a lot of people cone here to gather information both for personal consumption and for project.

Take for instance, present mileage b4 oil change is 10,000, next oil change for me would be 22,000 or +/-

But mobil1 Synthetic as recommended can do more than that self but na me just dey run my own like that.

I get my oil from dru23

ekehopp:
If you expect the next owner to buy new engine then I hope you mention that amongst your selling notes.

Because all this big grammar you are speaking, if you have no inch of integrity in you, you are nothing more than an educated fraudster.

Run something down, then sell it off as top condition. #SMH "Do to other as you'd want them to do unto you".

Hmmmmm... Gbos gbas loading...95%

I really think we need this gbos gbas to relief us from the corona virus stress

dru23:
If engine is burning oil like that, better to check pc valves and engine oil seal .. I experince similar issues like that, I was told to use heavy grade oil .. I said no , and took the car to another mechanic.. Engine cover was open ,and we found out the oil seal was worn out .. The seal was replaced and problem solved.....

So please car owners out there. Before anyone tells to start using thicker oil coz of oil burn make sure u check the basic things pc valves and ask a mechanic to open the engine cover to check for any worn out seal ... Ayodele Bishop did the job for me .. The first was a civic 03 than a Camry 07 and than elantra 08.. Also use good oil preferable USA brands.. Most cars in Nigeria now are USA imports ,it only makes sense to use USA brand oil for the car.. The oil are specifically formulated for such

The king kong is back!

This Will be a blow to all haters.

Welcome back boss man

gafman222:
Welcome back bro
Pls I have a camry 2003 I bought 2016 and due to d advice from a colleague who has been using same car for 6 years before I bought mine, I decided to be using Mobil XHP oil against the recommended oil. Everything was going smoothly until early last year wen I started noticing oil shortage and some oil stain around d engine. We check for possible leak and change all parts my then mechanic suggested we change. It only stopped for a while and d issue continued. My car is not smoking but some mechanic are suggesting ringing while some are against d idea.
Can I start using synthetic oil to stop the oil shortage or get another engine wen d fund is available?

What just happened to you is the advance effect as a result of uaing the oil not recommended for your engine. Rigging, overhauling or what ever it is called won't solve the problem. My brother that engine is gone you can take it from me.

If you doubt me, can you compare tje way the car moves now with yje way it moves when you first bought the car? Obviously NO! That's to say the engine is already weaken.

Try this and you see you engine has started smoking already. Fire the car very well and use your index finger to pick the inside of the exhaust you would have noticed a mixture of oil and carbon stain on your finger. You probably don't need to see the visible black smoke to know if yiur engine has staryed smoking.

This is also a good technic to know if an engine is about to start smoking b4 buying a car.

Best solution is contact dru23 or GUZZUZZ to get you a good engine direct from the US then start using the rexommendes oil.

God luck

northbird:
Felicity, you have not explained your pound / penny analysis.

Are you saying you cover 5,000km in 6 months.driving uber in Lagos . That is you service twice a year?

As per the moove cars, I just gave my opinion.

But I don't see the point of using an expensive equipment when a 2003-2007 model can achieve the same objective.

A 2016 car on #60/km and #10/min. Hmmmn , that's some serious bottom line reconciliation.

So if a request takes DT car to Atican beach/ barracuda beach... Na still movt abi?

Brother man which one be ur own self with this moove matter? abi u get personal biff with them?? Uber is looking for a world class standard service rendering so if moove offers them that kind of plan what then do you have to complain about? Abi sha na ur car ni. Bro leave them let them taste the soil even if it a roycrolls. After all Dubia uses cars that are even more expensive than that for taxi. The roads are bad yes we know, notwithstanding, it doesn't mean drivers should go wreck the car simply because they want to proof a point that such cars are not viable for the business.

Ask calabardick the kind of car he uses for uber and c what his reply would be

pope191:
I knw all these, that's why I said I'm giving some tings tot, I hate cutting corners... But what r deh thinking like they will kick an average Nigerian out of the system with a fight back?

Cutting of edges is part of life and progress. It may look wrong but it's what it is.

People loby to get a contract.
Why do companies pay royalties to traditional rulers, community boys, settle cult boys and even arm rubbers just to have a smooth operation? Even after paying task and awarding scholarship.

While in school there is a term called "softening the ground" isn't that corruption? Yet the white man made it legal and even included it into our syllabus.

So brother man, do what ever you can to survive especially in this country so long your conscience doesn't condemn it.

As for me I'm very much ok with Uber apart from this present time which is very challenging due to the absence of promotion. One thing I like about uber is if you work 10k with uber you go c ur money but with taxify a go be like say your money is been siphoned and repatriated to an Indian goddess.

The 2 reasons I would want my bolt account back is because of their accurate set destination feature and to fill the viod of uber's driving hours.

Sorry didn't get that? The typo is misleading

northbird:
At what km interval do you service.
Using your 6 month pound and penny analysis.

I thought I already stated that before, okay for sake of clarity I did 12000miles b4 my recent change and that 12k'miles took me from January till last week.

I hope you get now
