Olatheo:
Please help a brother good people on Nairaland, I need to travel for an interview on Monday in Ogun state from Abuja, but I'm penniless for now, what I need is 8k(I have 3.5k in my account) for my transportation to Ogun state. I don't want to miss this opportunity pleaaase everyone. God bless you all.

I hope you're a genuine person because looking at your profile 16-18 out of 20 of your post is begging related. You need to understand that everybody in Nigeria either rich or poor needs help in ine way or the other so if you know your doing this ofher than the purpose youre only endangering your life and your future.

Just a word of advice there, please do not take it personal I do not jnow you in what way ever your account is in your previous post I'll see what I can do from the little I've.

Cheers.

My brother lets forget that ine don go... Make d new owner battle his way out.

Not all tok are good my brother... I's haf sin

UcLloyd:
And you are saying this with happiness? A fellow man's hustle? U guys get mind, how do u feel knowing that ur selfish rating can take away a man's hustle? A guy that rates a fellow guy any thing other than 5stars is a wicked pussy nigga. I used bolt as a rider, I never for one day rated a driver less than 5 stars, even the ones I had arguments with. I once carried a lady, in her mid twenties, we had serious argument cus of me taking a longer route, at the end of the trip, she said she would have reported me and rated me low, but she won't, cus she doesn't want to take away my hustle, I was shocked to my bone marrow, a lady of all people. I respected her, cus she understands. Point out things u noticed in the car and encourage the person to get it fixed, not rate him low

One pissy night guy gave me 1star last week Sunday... That was my last trip till date. Me that is struggling to up my rating b4 na so the tin drop from 4.5 to 4.4... Watin I do? Just because I ask d fufu weather his trip is on card or cash ooh...that I needed cash as at that tume because I'd been doing card since morning... D stupid guy and his idiotic gf of above 25 and 38yrs old said I'm not professional na so he knack me 1start on top N600 trip ooh... D tin pain me reach my bone marrow.
Well na me cause am shall because I neglected d 1st red flag for not calling after requesting, I called him yet he was still ordering me about on top my own airtime.

Some riders wont make heaven shall.

Its like after the winter I'll not be picking some set of people

jpworld:
Fake news

Ha! Oga don return...

Welcome Sir!

Me I no talk anything against you since you travel ooh

samobaba4u:
So partner wey don increase pay to 35-40k na him make he still dey carry him saving give àbí? my brotherman feli I beg go ahead with your decision jàre and when coming back bring something from villa oooo no come dey yan story when u come o

No oooh I no travel ooh me still dey Lagos ooh... As a matter of fact I'm having my daughter's dedication come this Sunday [/b]so if you're around you can come celebrate with me one bottle sure for you die.

As for that agro business? Mennn... Agro work requires huge capital unless you just wanna suffer so I'm trying to balance well.

Same day my former partner(manager) retrieved his car i got two offers:

1. Same car with the one i just dropped, same color too but heckney permit is not ready yet but the man is renting at 25k/week but me just dey drag yash for ground with am base on d winter.

2. Same partner to my former car ([b]the real owner), its his fleet manager that advised... It's complicated shall... Base on Grace I got to find out the real owner and meet him one on one... (Complicated)... So the guy is bringing in a corolla by the end of the month or Feb...

A friend in my neighborhood just called in now self and he too has an offer from his close friend...

na dem dey rush us

When you look at all of these I just get a little bit confuse because I can only drive 1, so considering the on going winter I'm just trying to apply my chess and poka game skills so I don't make a wrong decision like I did late 2019/2020 with my former partner (a bird at hand is worth two in the bush) and again, I wouldn't want to default neither do I want to over work myself just to meet up to 25kweekly fee n protect my integrity with option No.1...

So its a great dilemma I find myself right now. But I'm sure to make the right decision at the end of the day.

minus 100K from ur 800K to sort ur partner during this winter period na

Minus ko... Subtract ni... All through the festive season starting from Nov 16th to Dec 31st I was only able to work for just 20days out of 46days. The remaining 26/27days car was giving serious issues. Even the 20days self not all was a full day work with the car so how I won take make 800k na bros

kanuisagoat:
Back then when I was using bolt as a rider, no matter how well I flow with a driver, if I hear any suspension noise from your vehicle, I'm giving you 4 stars

As far as I was concerned, you just endangered my life so why give you a 5.

I'm sure most of those drivers will wonder why their rating dropped despite having smooth trips

Just nugudu this guy... Lol

ur sadism is beyond God's imagination... U wicked oooh...lol

pope191:
Boss I'm looking frim afar... covid is affecting this business, no school, no club, no party, work from home, who are we meant to carry? Now I do 60 on awolowo Rd, before it's traffic zone. In a nutshell the country is not smiling, times r rugged.

Schools to resume on Monday 18th...

Me thank God my partner called for his car on Monday... The car has been very problematic... So me I'm not bordered for the now till probably February or early March because I hate telling stories. How you won take explain winter to partner?

January, Febuary and early March are months for land preparation. If you know you know. The only prayer be say make God provide money for the season.

OJURONGBE1:
True.
Some school of thought says while clearing the farmland, Palmtrees, Coconut trees & other trees should be left aside to help fight the storm. It worked i guess because the YouTube videos i watched buttress that advise.

Chief, you try o! 2.8M ginni?

Heard a story of a successful plantain & fish farmer in my area, who developed HBP that led to full paralysis due to wind & flood sweeping away his farm & pond in 2019. He's yet to recover from it.
How did you soak in the pain & move on?

There's this scriptural song I like so much... It goes like...

The joy of the Lord

You don find me go Agric section
Actually, I am fortunate to have a father who has been practising subsistence farming for half of his life, so farmland wasn't a problem. He oversee the cultivation, harvest & send the proceeds to me while i visit once every two weeks to inspect my investment.
Lagos to ijebu is less than 50mins, if you leave very early in the morning or late at night(Don't take this advise unless you have 9lives ).

I don't know what you intend to farm but Plantain farming is less stressful to other crops, as long as the soil is fertile, plant healthy suckers & feed them water in dry season (December- February). It is money spinning if you harvest them between March -August. (If you plant in March within 9-11months, they should be ripe for harvest).
Plantain is usually scarce around that time in the market hence the price skyrocket.
Also note, that it is not always rosy. A wind catastrophe can send a plantain Farmer to an hospital bed in 1hour. That's the huge risk associated with growing plantain.
I grow chilly pepper too. These two crops if planted & harvested in right season can enhance your pocket but dem get their own headache too

Nice one! Plantain farming can be very castrophic during wind... But with good technic and experience you'll scale through. What I did in my plate in farm at a time was plant cassava inbtw (intercropping) this will help to reduce wind falling the plaintain and at the same time increase your income.

Since I'm a young man with little pocket I couldn't continue because the lengthy period. Mind you, either plantain or cassava you gain more in your second season, So I decided to shift pole to watermelon (90days) and cucumbers (40-45). These two veges are gold mile if one has the resource with standard practice. My major setback was when cattle entered my farm... If no be say I'm a man with a big heart I would have been dead... Investment of over 2.8m with a forecast profit of over 10million box went down the drain ober night.

Long story shall... Let's not derail the thread too much.

But if I have my money again off course I'm going back to the bush.

One girl cancelled on me again yesternight after I had gotten to PU. I was really mad and had to send bolt a message.

Their response was that, they are working on bringing in cancellation fee and that they'll notify us once its up and running.

I sincerely hope this is true. I don't even need them to pay me the cancellation fee, let them just charge the riders so this nonsense can stop.

Scam! Bolt has been replying me with same reaponse since 1960 just move on bro dont expect anytin good from Bolt and her riders other than your money

Hello, Bosses in the house,

I hope we are sailing through the winter period.

I am planning on farming on this vast land hopefully after winter, I should be balanced by then, but before I jump in, I would like to ask for clarification,

I am planning on getting either Elentra 09-10 or a Camry 04-05

Now my question is this, for the job, which is more durable and rugged (some had suggested either a or b)

which has a lesser cost of maintenance and second-hand value.

Thanks in anticipation and God bless your hustle this period and beyond

Toyota all the way... Anytime any day.

I go with the Camry 05 version

Gifting someone the acct doesn't make the act right or Nobel. It is a crime, whether he sells the acct or gifts it.

You're right, but, sometimes we shiuld try consider the Nigeria factor before we condemn some things as fraud or crime.

To be honest with you, this country is more than difficult that even law abiding citizens will also have to look for a means to cut edges at some point. That's why some times I dont blame people for some act.

Coming back to the subject, look at a scenario where a guy is either on HP or rental, lets mot even consider his marital status now. Uber blocks his account unjustly (off course you know how nought those guus can be sometimes) and then the only hope he has was also ruined. Bolt blocks him for either high cancellation or low rating. Bearing in mind this young man is just in the middle of early stage of his contract with his partner. No magistrate or judge will slam the hammer of sentence on him because he opt for a means of survival because you can't open another account with any of these companies once they already have your data (DL) and you can't as well get a new DL because FRSC already have your biometrics. Think about if ehailing is the only source of livelihood for such person and then he's being cut out what do you expect him to do even at the detriment of his contract and responsibility

May we never find ourselves in a situation that we are only left to choose btw bad and wrong choice!!!

Wartsnigeria:
OH I see but what happens when riders see a different driver? I'm just curious.

Me I dont know ooh... Maybe those with experience can relate and share.

Eldemmi:
infact it is my mantra... used by a woman is a turn off for me....

But some women maintain car even more than some men oooh... Another thing is, woman are like dummy... Onr way traffic. A woman's movement is like a straight line graph from point A to B so if you're lucky to have a seller which husband is good in maintenance then the car should be a good buy trust me, with low millage... But we men our waka na zig-zag. Man fit tell you say I dey go point A but in the end he has gone from A to Q, back to C, D till he runs of our pounts.

My first car was 9ja used and I bought it from a woman. Millage was 138,000miles this was a car that was shipped into 9ja in the yr 2011. Now I used d same car for 4yrs and sold out at above 300k miles.

Now look, plus oyinbo usage plus the lady 130kmiles. I used for 3yrs+ and sold out at about 280k+ miles. Body never visited panel beater's shop 4 once.

In a nutshell, not every women use car rough some are goo at maintenance.

peeps4u:
What about a car used and certified by Radauto?

Loot am!
Buy am!!

OJURONGBE1:
I'm not a veteran but i can advise you a little based on my 6months Ehailing experience.

Take time to study how to use Google map .

Always say a prayer before you set out as early as 6am to target people going to work (except you stay on the island where Ehailing trips are guaranteed anytime of the day). Please, don't chauffeur more than 1passenger at night and don't stay out late all the time. Whatever you do till 8pm should be enough unless its festivity & public holidays.

Expect some verbal insults, silly gestures & mockery from girls your siblings age.
Expect Agbero & omo ita to accuse you allegedly of parking in their zone (Yaba, surulere, Ebutte metta, Oyingbo etc) Don't lose guard. Be vigilant at Mile 12, Eko bridge ( at night), Mile 2( at night). They Rob people off their possession in these axis.

Somolu, Yaba & Lagos island have many one way routes. Always ask your riders if they're acquainted with the road that leads to their destination, so you could use their help to navigate.

Don't beat the traffic on 3MB to link ikoyi-osborne bridge, Marina & Awolowo road, Lastma officials are always seated somewhere looking for who would fall victim. Don't beat traffic light & Stop signs too.

Notify your riders on your preferred mode of payment. If they offer you bank transfers, wait till you get your credit alert before they alight from your car or discharge their goods.

Eat well, drink a lot of water and have some orbitgums in your car. Don't listen to people who say spending 1000 naira is too much to feed yourself on a daily. Please, patronize pie Xpress at Chicken republic . They make sweet & cheap pies.

Sign up on the 3 Ehailing Apps ( Bolt, Uber & InDriver). It gives you options.

When you take a trip to the Airport' drop off zone', immediately your driver alight, drive far away from the airport or use the parking lot if you want a trip out. No go dey do suegbe for airport, dem go sama you billing like Eyinola

Don't forget 'Grooming', the way you look says alot about your hygiene. Learn to take a day off to relax, exercise and brainstorm on your next line of work. You can't drive Uber forever.

Your best bet as at now is 10-13k gross on weekdays and 12-20k on weekends.
Make sure you check this space at least once a week to read about Drivers experience. You can chip in your daily experience too and we would have a good laugh about it and give you koboko if you err.

Hope to read from you soon.

Guy since I know you in this thread this is like your best post ever.

But why must he had orbit gum... Pls throw more light.

Hello Everyone.

I just got a Tokunbo Hyundai Elantra 2007 for Uber/Bolt/In-driver.

I have decided to drive it myself for a while.

What can I expect as a newbie?

How do I learn the ropes ASAP?

What's the income potential?

Any Guidance/WhatsApp/Telegram group will be appreciated.

I don't understand, is bolt registration not free? Why would anyone want to buy or sell an account?

Yes its free but wait till you're blocked while on rental or HP then you would understand better.

ChopBellefull:
Bolt account for sale... No scam.

Reason for sale:: sold my car and venturing into something else.. uber sef dey but cause of verification people say they don't buy

Let me help propectibe buyers with s9me verifiable information.

1. How old is this account?
2. How many times have this account been blocked b4?
3. When is your DL expiring?
4. What's your current balance?
5. How much are you selling?

Prospective buyers should consider these before striking a deal and also, understand that it's a 50:50 chance. You can start using account today and it get blocked the next day. So know your stake b4 you put your hard earn money. I understand the country is hard so people must find a way to stay afloat rather than steal to survive.

And Mr. Seller... Why not gift sb instead of selling? How much would the proceed improve you? Just asking for a friend oooh... No vex abeg
