Yeah,Actually you can!

When I was in year 1(2016),the 1st semester I had 3.75 and the corresponding semester I had a g.p. of 4.67 accumulating to a CGPA of 4.21. Fast forward to yr 4(2019) which was my grad year,I graduated with a CGPA of 4.52(first class honours at the University of Lagos).

Albeit it wasn't a rosy journey but I was pragmatic and tenacious, setting per semester what-if-gp scenarios (that's, setting a ceiling and a floor and must not go beyond their floor),and Yes!it worked for me. It's all about setting your priorities right,when to read and when to play. I never joked with my reading time table. Believe you can and you shall achieve it and Put God First!

Namaste.

Thats only possible in institutions like the one you graduated from but for institutions like the I did graduate from, forget first class the moment you have like 2 C's any where in your academic year. Uniport don't dash first class anyhow like unilag does.

Great people, please how much does it cost to renew driver's license?

Check their online portal or better still walk into any of the frsc office and get first hand info

deedee44:
No it's not who picks first that gets the trip, it's who the rider selects. Every driver that accepts will pop up on rider's app and rider will select his/her choice based on price, ETA, rating and sometimes your profile pic. A horror looking driver will hardly get picked lol

Are you trying to say my face is a horror movie

Easy Boss I know we can get on each other nerves, but let love always lead. This Bolt thing which way forward? I wrote them this morning and one oyinbo reply me wit 2030, ha! This joke is becoming expensive, I honestly don't like uber, my spirit just don't flow with them. Tho, my licence will expire in 3 months and I've been giving some things I won't have done on a normal day tots, like starting afresh again.

Guy anything you know you can do to make a living go ahead and do it provided it doesn't involve scamming, defrauding, taking of human life and stealing.

Even the oyinbo man self is corrupt they have multiple ID so go ahead get a sibling, get his or her bvn, get a DL in the same name or add a middle name to it. You can use anybody's tax No.

In 1month max you're back on bolt life.

Come back and buy me one bottle.

Happ Sunday pilots, I completed every requirements for my bolt activation n on Monday lastwk I was sent a mail that my bvn cannot b found n verified. Immediately I got d mail that Monday morning which was lastwk,I called my bank to verify my bvn details n was told that it's correct n same, I had to send mail back to bolt that I just verified frm D bank n they said my bvn is correct n OK. I was being replied back by bolt that my details has bn sent to their operations room to work on n that I should exercise patience that they will get back to me on my activation, all this happened just last wk Monday n uptill nw, I v nt heard frm them. Tomorrow will make it a week. Pls hw long dos bolt take to work on it n activate u. Pls I need ur advise n response on dis issue. Thanks

Lol... See guy man dey ask drivers moon question like say any of us dey work with bolt/taxify.

Bro exercise more patient ok they'll reply when they want to. Bolt is managed by some rubish people that lack sense. Just relax ok

I learnt someone on HP is having issue with d car owner cos he haven't been able to meet up for the best one month due to blockage, its not easy.

That what happens when a man refuses to think outside the box or dance to the tones of change.

Same thing northbird is doing, sorry to say but its the truth.

Moove has come up with a good deal trust me, but the only thing is it was activated in a time when the world is dealing with a global pandemic.

Tell me Pope191, would you not accept a car with moove before the lockdown?

Remember, they came onboard b4 the pandemic popped up so what ever thee case they still went ahead.

So that driver should look for other means to strike a balance with his partner else no court of law will rule to his favor if his partner decides to pull the trigger.

I would advice he sign up with bigleaf(he just posted that he needs cars for interstate project) tho I feel his offer is very very low, like too low. Or better still let him go to begger b/s or mile 2 park and hustle for offline passengers. My guy doing it is cashing out big time.

If not for married status... There's lot of advantages a single guy has over a married man.

northbird:
Abeg help ask him.

A car you fire 5- 6 days week in week out.

And you change the oil ( cos someone told you its synthetic) once in 6 months

Private cars that use synthetic, how many km do they cover in a week.
Some na just go to work n come back.

A typical driver on Uber working a full week will do like 500-600km weekly.

A lot of private cars on synthetic won't even get to that threshold in three weeks.

N you are comparing. Any car full time on uber is no more private use.

Where in My post did you c me compare a private car with an ehailing car?

Guy you always look for ways to maneuver and cover up your ignorance thinking you're smart. I've been following all of your comments closely.

Do i need to wonder if you're an engineer or have any understanding of mechantronics?

Manufacture recommended something for your car and you want to use your Nigeria mentality to do your own.

Take it or leave it, apart from the good synthetic do to your engine it also save you cost.

Private owner can do servicing once in a year depend on their usage.

As a matter of fact, most servicing company tell you the km of tour next servicing. As radauto, ask total E&P, Mobil workers they'll tell you.

Btw, one od my riders last week narrated to me the kind of car that dropped his sister was, I just knew its moove.

Bro, if you cant beat them join them

Mjosh1000:
From oshodi to abule egba has one of the best roads in Lagos currently on both side.

But after abule egba bridge where u have first bank down to toll gate the road is very bad.

Mind you from abule egba, ekoro, command road, ikola road and is environment has some good connecting roads.

Pls if you are adding abule egba to the list of bad roads in Lagos you no try atall.
Inner roads on both sides are good.

On the other side
You have agbe road connecting ahamidiyah connecting to ijaiye jankara, Clem road.

Don't mind those people including abule egba to their list with bad roads. I've been staying in abule egba since 2003, the places we have veey terrible roads is the other side of abule egba that's the ekero side. The Beckley, Olaniyi,charity, social club down to jibowu axies where I reside have moderately good roads. The Ambode abule egba bridge made all the road Fashola did bad because traffic was diverted into all these areas. Ambode promised to redeem the roads spoilt as a result of that but the 1diotic jagabam didnt ler him see through his tenor and this puppet we have as governor is nothing to right home about.

Anyways, it serves lagosians right.

In btw, I learnt Baba is seriously sick, my prayer is that he shouldn't survive it because lagosians need to be liberated from the shackles of this jagabam.

Call me wicked for wishing for something good I don't mind but be rest assure you will see the good of the land but wont taste of it.

pope191:
E no easy, so without BVN u can't register now

Bolt and uber will have a taste of their medicine years to come if they keep blocking drivers that have partnered with them for more than a year.

Because those drivers will have better alternatives. I've a friend on hp he has not turned on his app for the past 6months and he's doing great.

Soon a lot of drivers will wake up to their senses to see that these foreigners are only enslaving them in their houses.

deedee44:
Abule egba to Sango toll gate is a close rival

Point of correction.

It's Ijaye to Ogun State and ogun state to Amadhia b/s.

Abule egba to Ijaye is a smooth road.

God will bless all hustlers and those that have this as d only means of surviving. Better doors shall open for us

I've not worked since March due to pandemic.my office work has been a week off a week on kind of but still decided not to work because of rain. I went to c my boss @ Magodo yesterday and on my way out I decided to put on my bolt app and set destination to lekki since I live on the island. I got a request around domino pizza Magodo to Mobil road in ajah and I was happy for d long trip after a long time absent. It was all good and fun trip until I entered this bad road (first turn on the left wen u enter that Mobil road @ Ajah)
After d little good road, I eventually got to d terrible one and I was as calm and slow as snail trying to navigate my way to d destination. I was about dropping my rider wen another request came in from d main road. The new rider called and I told him where I was and how bad d road is, so he should either calm down or cancel and make another request if he cannot wait.
I continue to manoeuvre my way inside this ocean water until I fell inside wot felt like a little hole but wit a big stone and hit my car terribly bad. On eyes were just on me and my car started making bad noise.
I was really scared and make my way out of d water to d Northwest fuel station
My car suffered a great damage and mechanic are still working on it till this moment
The trip ended 4,650 but I've spent close to 8k and still spending
Maybe I'll come back to d hustle in December wen tins start to boom again but for now I'm off
I wish all drivers success and accident free movements. May God open better doors for u all soon

Amen!!!! The only reason I'm still doing this hustle is because of my family. I'd been single? I would've sat at home applying for jobs and waiting patiently.

The job is no more interesting again even uber has bluntly refused to bring back their promotion.

To those on 15k and above rental this period I hail una oh you guys are the real MVP. Keep it up! You're only killing your life small small.

My oga dem I greet una I arrive Abuja safely last night.thamk u all.

Thank god for journey mercies.

Maax23:
INDriver is not a bad one. U use it as additional to BOLT or Uber. The good thing about it. You take trips you want, refusing to take trips doesn't affect your rating, you offer your price, Their rating system is open and transparent not like Bolt or uber You see all destination of trip request. You see what riders are saying about your service and that gives the opportunity to improve. Zero commission u pay no dime. All the money is yours. The bad side is that, it doesn't read in traffic, they don't have large rider base yet and they are still growing. I see them seriously competing with uber and Bolt in 2years to come. If they can work on their pricing and App features, they may take over. It favours the driver and rider at the same time

You didn't talk aboutbthe fastest finger features with indriver. To me that's the major setback with them.

How will a particular request come into 4 different drivers at the same time and tje person that picks first have it. How would you then offer your own price when the other driver doesnt even care but accept the rider's price.

So I shouldn't take my eyes off my phone because I need to get a trip? Rubish!!

northbird:
Uber abi?

Cos bolt is #500 naira flat.

I've don a N300 trip with bolt b4 oh. 4guys from grammar school b/s to excellent hostel junction ogba.

I just tire

InfinityEstates:
This one was not on surge. I called the guy several times and each time he'll calmly tell me, "Please hold on, I'll be out soon". Ah an, you dey whyne me ni. I sha dey wait as trip no too dey like that. I was on the verge of canceling the trip when he came out. In my mind, thank God say I no cancel o...

I waited for a lady like that at Lekki. After 10mins paid waiting, she cancelled. That thing can pain ehn... I nearly swear for her that day.

Last week was my highest cancellation on uber, I personally cancelled about 10request after waiting for most times 15min minimum.

The one that pained me the most was this lady, her request came in on a set destination from lekki ph1 to Ikeja na so I happy, at least I won't blow empty on the 3MD.
Me: hello, I'm outside your offx
Rider: okay, I'm coming.
About 10min after rider never come out i called her
Rider: please give me 5min I'll be out, or you can start the trip.
Me: I will wait but please make it 5min you know we have to beat the curfew.

I carry rag say make I clean my car small, b4 i clean go round to pick my phone insise car what I saw was "rider cancelled". Shooow!

I calles her,
Me: you cancelled after id waited for you for more than 20min?
Rider: As I couldnt come out in 5min it's why I cancelled.

d tin pain me enh!
I was still standing in my shocked mood when I saw a Camry big daddy parked behind me.

The driver was an aged man in his late 40s or early 50s so i decided to exchange pleasantries with him cos I know he's in the hustle.
He said he didn't asked the riser where she was going oh he just drove down. Just as we were yet talking the girl I'd waited for more than 20min came out with one dude they both embraced and ahe entered into rhe back seat.

I just looked at her, well, no problem.

Next day, I made sure I cancelled immediately after waiting for 10 or 12 minutes.

Uber blocked my account due to high cancellation the following day amd I mailed them to narrate all of my ordeal to why my cancellation was high. Immediately they unblocked me.

So I don't wait more than 12min again for riders oh I cancel straight.

12min comprises of the 5min wait time and 7min paid time.

For corolla, my experience is using Mobil 1, it's I think ₦4,900 or so in d mkt.
Everty 4 weeks, I drain the oil whether it is dark, sticky or not.

I put a new one with new filter.


I don't believe in keeping engine oil in a car for more than 4 weeks esp. If the car moves about daily.

If 5k monthly can prevent me from shopping for a tokunbo engine replacement, why not?

Okay, have you considered it this way?

N4900+500 (filter)+1000(Workmanship)= N6,400×5months= N32,000

Mobil1 sythentic @ N23k will serve you for 5-6months before a next change.

Your approach is nothing different from "pounce foolish penny wise".

I've some mobil1 Synthetic at my disposal shall so I can dash you one to give a try

Swonder:
Please, I want our experience Boss Driver to advise on which engine oil to use for servicing of 2006 Toyota Corolla? Thanks in anticipation

I'm using Mobile1 synthetic, as a matter of fact i just did my servicing few hrs ago. The last time I serviced my car was January 2020 and I did about 12000km b4 I changed today.

One of the good thing about using Mobil1 synthetic apart from the fact that it will keep your engine in good shape is that it saves you cost.

Take for instance, had I been using yhe regular N4,500 mobile oil by now no would have done about 4-5 services which would have amounted to about 22k.
Oil filter=5h= 2000
Workmanship= 4000
Total= N28,000

You have changed either half engine or full engine in 4yrs while me I will still be flexing my engine like it just came

But with mobil1 I'd spent just 22-24k

Make the right choice bro

Hello guys, please what is the procedure for renewal of drivers licence?

I read of a more effective way to do it and a moniker was shared...forgotten all those details.

cc felicity001

Thank you.

I renewed my licence via their online platform. Did it on my phone, my wife paid 6k+ in the bank in benin and licence was ready in 2weeks.

Lagos was asking for 12k or there about as at the time via same online process.

I've been using it for rhe past 1year now.

It was a 3years renewal.

Thank you.

I renewed my online but I used Benin City as collextion point. Paid 6k+ via bank, Under 2weeks my licence was ready, my in law pickes it up for me and sent it via Korea to lagos.

Lagos was charging 12k via online renewal plus long wait.

I didnt even know my licence has been printed and lying there in their office waiting for me to collect it not until I went to Sura where it was first issued to get another one since I thought the online was just a scam. They checked with my licence No and said my licence isn't expired yet. Gave me the pickup serial number and location to pick up.

I've been driving with it for almost a year now.

I wish the police and all other armed forces can be restructured because if you look at it very well, it’s the illiterates that are really constituting nuisance small gun and them don turn your alpha and omega even the useless private security ones too just because them be like pumped fufu.

Na so yesterday, I took a mother and daughter that just came in from yankee to the IDH at yaba, for a compulsory covid test, other cars were going in and me sef dey drive go na so the useless fufu guy stop me say shey I no see am weda I no suppose stop greet am make he pass me because say na corolla I drive.

Who are you that we will be stopping for? Did you do the same thing to the other cars in front? Now imagine say that idiot dey handle gun.

I have been offline on Uber since Saturday, logged on only to see this

Maybe person don report me?

Guy you cancellation rate is high ooh... Lol

Even me wey get 3 cancellations out of 88 uber still sent me a message that my cancellation is high.

So this brings me to a question which has been trying to ask.

How can one avoid cancellation on uber, some requests come with very long distance PU to avoid cancelling can I just avoid the request? What is the detriment of not accepting some request??

Ogas in the house your take please.

Thank you.

@radautoworks can i still pick up the perfume you promised me? I'm just in front od your ofdixe right now.

Thanks to everyone that both support and against you all are fantastic people. Trust I'll do a thread on this when at the COB today.
