Cheii Uberbolt drivers na e u berate like dis, besides u Neva hear say some kidnapas Dy collect recharge card. SMH

Leave the guy make him dey talk na because e neva happen to am na him make him dey jam talk... Kidnappers wey dey collect the least 20k now... Ransom na any amount. 20k, 100k, 500k... All na ransom

The young man wanted me to show him my business earnings....... In order for me to show him my earnings he has to work hard for it .. But obviously I am not going to show it to him ..but I do offer path that might give him an idea what the possibility might be could be should be etc .........i offered him a start .but it is up to him to take the offer.......

Now in terms of what uber drivers earn weekly, daily or monthly. I don't think it is a secret that , people already have a rough idea ...

So kidnappers kidnapping uber drivers I don't how you were able to put those two in the same sentence. I have not yet to hear any stories that a kidnapper held an uber driver for ransom ...

What your concerns should be is the type of cars driven for uber. Uber has made corolla and parts more expensive than ever.... We do hear uber drivers getting killed for their cars..

Any life lost is a big deal whether na 1 or 2 .. But generally the percentage is small when u look at it. Especially when compare the amount of cars ratio to number of drivers getting killed because of their car ..

Below is what should be the focus ...ways to prevent such things from happening.. This 1 of the many reasons I use a civic for my uber fleet .......

Ehmmm...I like am too...but make them go form another thread for that one.
Meanwhile na by choice nobe by force.
When Bazz001 was demanding my dashboard to prove I make 400k every month I no show am shishi... I told him, if u doubt it set money before I post am. He didn't believe it's possible until Kanuisagoat and one other guy drop dashboard for am.

Me I like proof o. Go Forex trading thread, crypto currency and online marketing thread. see dashboard and credit alert everywhere.

Yeah... Me too lile that kind dashboard posting you guys did that period which is very matured... It's like arguing with facts and figures instead of blindly. But you just wakeup ine day and post you account balance on FB even when nobody has asked you to... It's doesn't make sense na... Shey u get now

Pearl1910:
Oga Pope, with Bolt, U have freedom to go anywhere and refuse anywhere and nobody will slam u, provided u regulate those 4 activity parameters. Even newbies have gotten the hang of it. Free urself from the old notion u have about Bolt.[b] I can't remember d last time I entered Ikotun, Igando, Festac, Agbado Ijaiye, Ishaga, Ikorodu, Oworo, Ijesha, Itire axis. [/b]Offcourse it doesn't mean I don't get trip requests to those areas but I have total control of where I am going to.
Let's not talk about Uber, those ones head never correct, when they don't have any drivers again, their eyes go clear.

I still use Indriver sometimes times...trust me, the fares are rubbish compared to Bolt these days, the risk is high cos u can't predict traffic and ontop, commission has been introduced. U select trips with ease yes, but when u finally see a good one, many other drivers are waiting like vultures. Waiting time is long, no compensation if rider delays... Like I said before, the only reason anybody will use Indriver now over Bolt/Uber is if they don't have that choice or they are not informed. My work here is to inform. Free of charge.

Typical example, yesterday morning statewide was under surge Bolt and Uber.
Small journey 1k, 1500, 2k. Long journey 5k, 7k, 10k even though long journeys are generally scarce when there is mad surge, if u keep at the small small ones, before u know it u have crested. I got one Ogba to Lekki delivery, 1.9 surge, nice one. I say make I on Indriver, wether I will be lucky to get trip along my route. And my brothers, d fares what I was seeing, I wan cry for drivers that don't have any other option than to use Indriver.
What is d yardstick for indrivers fare options? Nothing, it's just jaga jaga.

It is well sha...las las we go all survive.

I was waiting to see if you will include AE but thank God you didnt, you're wise... No mind pope191 way dey indirectly tell me say na jungle I dey stay... It is well aha... I get, Pope want me to go live in lekki and buy a land next jagaban...

Kanuisagoat abeg how many trips I fit do b4 i can buy a land in Ikoyi because na ikoyi me I want o or eko atlantic... BAZ001 abeg help me do d calculation I need to start running now no time.

Paparaxo:
Congratulations boss. Like I said the other day, much respect I got for you... This honestly makes me happy owing to your past experiences which you never fail to share on the forum.. I pray the good time won't end just yet as this is just the beginning. Congratulations once again

SHOOPSYN:
Ehailing apps have automatic location permission. As such, they don't need to put on the location before using it. So also is the banks app and related apps.

So how about the set manually function here? Bros I don't just talk for talking sake ok... I'm not that stupid... Many riders for some reasons or the other they just do things without even knowing the implications.

One can request a ride without turning on the GPS location on your phone okay.

A tried will convince you.

Olayetan:
Lemme give you the logic so you don't have issues with that.

Next time when you want to ask a rider to re request you like that, you don't even need to set destination to where the rider is going, just observe the min to arrival on the rider app or ask the rider what min is it showing to arrival, if it's over 1min, just know the request will be going to another driver far from the PU.

So when the rider is ready to request, go online and ask the rider to click where he/she is going, once it shows 1min to PU, ask the rider to comfirm the order and make the request, it will surely come to you but if it's consistently show 3min upward, then go offline and go online back and ask the rider to make the request.


Also the reason why such request won't come to you again is if you have been placed on card trips only and the request is cash, it won't come to you.

I don't think I understand what you're trying to explain in your 2nd and 3rd paragraphs. But what I think you mean is the rider should make sure the GPS location on their phone is one so that everything will synchronise accordingly.

Many a time I've seen where riders would want to make request and will not border to turn on their GPS location weather they're ignorant of it ooh I don't know...now they'll begin to complain the map is not bringing their location, this is the reason to wrong PU address we drivers experience most times.

So in an ideal condition a request is meant to come to the closest driver to the rider, you don't need any technical approach to this.

eyinola:
well u may be right , but on my personal experience i hv been with a rider in my car countless of times only for them to re request me and get another driver even wen i set my destination to riders exact location

Your activity scores at the time could have been responsible. Merging rides on "set destination" can be very deceptive at times... But I still believe it simple and direct. The bolt algorithm doesn't work with previous rating to merge ride but with activity score and distance is what bolt requires to merge a ride.

On the other hands, Uber? A lot of things like:
*Rating (base on previous ride btw driver and rider)
*activity scores
*distance within the 2km radial
*FCFS within airport region

These are what the app takes into consideration to merge rides.

I maybe wrong though.

Fluid11:
Hello sir,

Please I'll need your advice as regards how much is appropriate to take a corolla on rental now. Can 35k/ week fly?

Sir to me oooh 25k is my standard any day any time. Worse case scenario I can add servicing with mineral oil of N5500 with oil filter of N1k highest to it at every 3000miles. Owner does 95% maintenance... E get y... Nothing like owner doing 100% maintenance I've been there b4, I've once bought tok tire 6k and a few things b4....
Butbif Owner insist on synthetic oil for servicing and expect men to do that my brother I'll bring out my bad side which I believe everybody has inside of them because that oil is fucking expensive and what's the guarantee the car wilI not be collected from me a day after I finish doing maintenance of say 25k. Heaven go rain blood ooh till my money come out.
Baba this work? My eyes don see whin! I don break my bank fix car for partner b4 the next day or thereabout the partner collect him car.

So, shine your eyes.

Do you by chance have a car for rent? Let me know I can introduce you to some nice guys and will also tell you how well to manage them.

Hoping to post the 08 Elantra by months end .... So hit me up if you show interest

Thanks for this I really do appreciate but like you may know I don't have any money set aside to own a car right, all savings for this purpose prior the covid-19 was spent during the lockdown and after the lockdown, still trying to find my bearing as income as not been very steady couple with wifi safe delivery (we thank God for that) and other necceasry needs from rent, to school fee et el, so I'll be lying if I tell you have saved a million plus to acquire one of those cars.

Apart from that, the elders will say, na road wey good you go like pass again. Unless you won gift me one of them ooh... I understand you're not a charity venture ooh, nevertheless, me and heaven know say na small tin for you but baba no reason am oooh na jokes I dey ooh.

Best of luck once again and God bless you.

dru23:
Too bad u don't take ur own advice ...i come in peace

dru23:
RPM affects oil consumption. The higher your usual RPM is the more oil will be consumed. That's because you put extra pressure on the seals and gaskets and some of the oil finds its way around and gets burned away in the combustion chamber. ... The hotter your engine runs the thinner your oil will be.


Ps ... You driving habits contributed to it .. .. To avoid shaking tables .. I will not comment on ur driving habits

One love bro... How is business and family Sir?

Best regards Sir.

Olayetan:
Bro, how far, I didn't hear from you anymore.

Yeah, I have you in mind to do a qoute to your post today self.

I tried contacting you na but... See screenshot below and relating to my guy as well.

We talked on phone but don't known if you'll be ok with the outcome of his decision.

Here is it, due to the bad people who have gone ahead to spoil the road for those coming behind the good guy said he will only do business if and only if you bring the valuables you have then he sells it and then gives you the money or get you phone the money can afford.

So maybe you should turn on your data and reply my message if you re willing to then I connect the both of you.

Thanks for the thought. I really appreciate[/color]

Drivers no be human beings again? Or do you think we can't afford or have a need for what ever service you're rendering?

Anyways, since you insist it fine shall.

Trust me you have my best wishes

Cheddaz:
You are still on the right track, nothing do you.

God bless you for this.

I remember when my former car was shortening oil I took it to radautoworks and the first question I was asked was "what's the millage of the car? 165kmiles I said. This same advice was suggested to me by the professional but my boss refused then we finally changed valve seal and pvc valve as well, though it reduced the oil shortening but didn't eliminate it totally, we still kept on topping with 1ltr at every 1000miles.

Same way its good to follow manufacturer's advice is same way its also good to follow professional's and experience advice.

100%

The average Nigerian is only sincere when they know there is a great punishment awaiting for every wrong they make.

I once used a POS and the money I withdrawn didnt leave my account even after 24hrs... Nobody advised me to go report myself the next day to the guy the next morning b4 my bank go knack me credit on any money that enters my account after I don chop money thats not mine.

radautoworks:
please na where you dey buy? My source no dey for state House again.

Kunnu for state House? nawao... Make no supply you nice one from a reputable source at a cheaper rate na

Besides, you're not even in town sepf, but we can make arrangement to get it across to you ooh...lol

Na waoo the guy insist it must be the car

Bros all die na die... Leave am to him cross but one thing is sure, 8n no time he'll see wisdom in the advice you gave to him.

Wise him well at the moment.

radautoworks:
The average american car is 8 years old. How many Nigerians can keep a car 8 years without changing engine?

My point exactly ma'am, maybe this is the reason we opt for a cheaper means of maintenance since they know consciously or subconsciously they have just few years to drive or use the car. Just like I said, they don't car who buys it after them and the buyer doesnt care how well you maintained it so what's the fuse after all?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Lol

There's nothing wrong with using Mineral oils sir.

But you're making it look like it has some advantage over the Synthetic oil.

As a guy that drives, has driven on Uber, and deals on parts, the mineral has no advantage over the Synthetic

But it still is okay bro [/color]

And you don't even say so we the good brotherhood can patronize you?

baba no want friends for him business but only friends and relatives will push you to your desire height ooh.

Ladipo engine seller are rubbing their hands ;. They are ordering for more tokunbo engine ...... me taking advice this ur write is like asking a blind man for direction .. Sure he could direct me , but I hope I don't fall into a ditch.....

Aristotle said, "man know thyself and thy environment". You will never fall into a ditch or miss it if a blind man (of say 60yrs) gives you directions around his house or his environment unless you never paid attention to his descriptions.

deedee44:
Maybe a little mathematics will convince him.

I top up with 1 ltr of oil aprox. every 1000 miles.

Difference btw mobil 1 synthetic 1 ltr and sharlu 20w50 1 ltr is around 3k so i save 3000 on each top up.

Engine has covered over 100, 000 miles, that means I've topped up around 100 times.
3000 x 100 times
That's 300,000 saved (and still counting)


What they teach you in school is always different from what experience will teach you in real life

You're using mobile1 synthetic doesn't mean you won't top oil b4 your next change oooh lets not miss thing up or mislead people... Mind you I used the same heavily oil for 7 months on the Civic, reason why I still have the Mobil 1 synthetic under my possession. There was a time that it was even blackbishop that poured the 1ltr to gauge it properly and also I remember a time I also poured 1ltr right in his presence at his residence (the first day we met after many months of partnership). One reason or the other engine is bound to short oil and you must either top or change it totally.

Also, you're using mobil1 synthetic doesn't mean your engine won't die or smoke oooh... I know somebody wey sell her Hyundia out, the engine was already smoking and shortening oil. This person uses mobil1 synthetic... Blackbishop can testify to this as well.

Abeg make I no shake the table too much b4 them come for my head.

People are free to go about with their opinions and business but one thing a civilized and educated person should understand is, don't force your opinion on people.

In Nigeria, Live in the classroom is totally different from life in the labour market or industry.

I come in peace ooh.

IFSHR:
That's because the bolt algorithm works with FIFO sometimes and Drivers history of trip when pairing a rider with a driver (All things being equal)

FIFO.....First in First out ...

eyinola:
on bolt , u will be with someone in d car and the request will picked a driver who is 5mins away

I totally disagree with you guys on this.

Bolt algorithms on request is meant to pick the closet driver the rider making a request for a ride. If all condition remains constant the request has no business sidelining the driver beside the driver and then picking a driver that's 5min away. 5min away on the Bolt App can be up to 3-5km on the driver's end on a free road oooh because most time 1m on the rider's app means below 1km on the driver's end(on GMAP) unless there's traffic it can say 5min because the Bolt App doesn't tell the rider how distance the driver is to them apart from the time.

It could be that the driver was having either a network issue at the time a merger was taking place btw the rider closest to you at that time or probably you where trying to go online while the request was being made. (I believe thats what you meant by FIFO)

This is only possible in the uber app and even with some ideal condition but in an ideal condition(e.g activity score and rating on previous rider btw the two party) the uber app will pick the closest driver to the rider.

IFSHR:
That's my approach brother, I am out there to hustle in best way, nicest way, smartest way and Fiercest way possible, you get what you give me, it's my car and my service, you don't measure I don't render it at all.

You want to do transfer, you must be ready to show me your debit alert, my mind no trust your appearance you must be ready to use ATM to withdraw, you no get ATM, he means you go wait make I see alert ( I trust GTB on that).

Make I wait for u abi? Card trip I will wait but sir/ma if you don't come out in 10mins time, I will have to end trip, you agree I wait, you no agree, I end trip and move to the next. For cash trip, sir/ma I am sorry due to previous encounter on the job, i can only wait if you will drop your phone, I am sorry, or better still let's end the trip and hopeful, when you request when you are ready, I might still be in vicinity.

You pack all your load waiting for the innocent car that will help you carry it for 500. And bolt go give me your request. Oga driver thats the load, thank God you are driving a Jeep...Me: , oga mi your load money na 1000 + plus anything wey the trip fare end, ..........but that's not how bolt operate na....am sorry sir, you can cancel and request for the next victim.

On Ratings: from the very first trip I have never asked/begged for rider to rate me 5 or anything..by itself he go down and rise up again. . Last week It went from 4.52 to 4.78

You really need this. Please where do we locate the statue Sir?
