Okay,
Then I guess you go to ungodly places just to maintain a high Driver Score.
Cos u can't tell me u know location of all d streets in Lagos. The moment u accept a trip, then check d location of d destination on Google maps and decide cancel, ur score drops. If u do that 20 times a day ur score goes down from 100 to 80.
If u do 10 trips in a day maybe 5 will remember to rate u on their own. Assuming they all rate u above 4stars ur score will rise to 85. Simply speaking ur score can go down by 10 points in 1 day. Except u are attempting to complete every trip u accept.

One d other hand if u say u only complete trips which u already know or are familiar with, it means u will reject a whole lot of trips and ur Acceptance Rate will be close to zero.

The sure way to select trips and still maintain a high Driver Score is to ensure all d trips u eventually complete are rated. That's my advise.

does rating actually increase the score?

is there a place where bolt says that

Shimmaa:
I don't know if this information is true but a source said lagride is making plans to restrict uber, indrive and bolt operation in Lagos while it will only be lagride operating in the whole of Lagos.


If this is true, how can they achieve that.

they've not bought buses to replace danfo yet, it's Uber they want to

knyte:
Una lucky say you still dey see work do. Come this side, you go park car for 3hrs,nothing go ring

ibadan abi

I don wait tire today

Kumuyiii:
Next week God willing, I'll run a full tank taking 'ok to dumb' trips, let me see how it goes, I'll share the results here.... So that everybody will see whether 'always busy' is better than selective busy.


One thing we should bear in mind is, is not only fuel money you should be concerned about, whatever you end the day with as profit, you should factor in maintenance..... Being busy throughout the day taking 'ok' trips is just more wear and tear on ur parts, God help you if you live in the mainland with far more terrible roads... You'll be just one trip to the mechanic to be back to ground zero. Let's not twist it up, of course you'll make 'profit' by taking ok to mediocre trips, but you'll be running ur business into the ground slowly, seeing only today without looking at tomorrow is a trap... You gotta make enough profit to cushion for expensive repairs which will INEVITABLY come in this line of work, many are forced to borrow. My opinion is, only take 'ok' trips when you need to leave a dead area(like vi). The trip below is heartbreaking, how bad things have got, last year, this same trip will be nothing short of 14k, but today look... May God help us, so does this fall under 'ok' trips or? Where is the line.?

how many naira/km do you guys consider "ok" and "Good" trips

chiboyjohn:
You connect a lan cable from another router that is working and has internet to the airtel box via the usb to lan connected to the airtelbox usb, and also dont put sim in the airtel box. ,

also u can disable the dhcp server from the router dashboard
to get it working

hi I got this same adapter but I've getting very low download speeds compared to other devices connected to my router.

did this happen to you too and could you solve it

HawkTuahGirl:
It's just 5k.

It will work with any router.

hello, thanks for this. I got the adapter and can connect to my router but the Internet is too slow compared to other devices connected to my router

are you having the same issue?

Ifjes99:
Just Add network

Type in the SSID of the wifi
The security type
The password

And connect

please can you post screenshots of this process? where we can find "Add network"

HawkTuahGirl:
Finally moved to ODU device. 10% better because Airtel network in my area is poor.

To make the Android TV box useful, I got USB to LAN adapter (attached) as an ethernet connection to the ODU. So life continues.

how much was this adapter?

and do you think it would work with another router that's not Airtel on the Android tv box. for example an mtn router.

Nairamotive:
Try relocating to Lagos na, it's close to you but you must be patient with traffic

I'm just marvelling at the distance ni, most of the indrive dashboards I've seen posted here do a little under 100km daily averagely so the 200km was just surprising

Nairamotive:
Please Abuja Drivers, this is my earning for today Sunday, started 7am and close 7pm.
I increased all fares for rides showing here, still per KM isn't even up to 300 naira.
If I was just accepting what passengers put, that means it will not reach 200 naira per KM.

Passengers are really reducing the recommended fare very well.

I still thank God.

But is this what is obtainable in Abuja on a Sunday like this for 12hrs driving?

Abuja Drivers, please I need your opinion

12 trips and 200km?
17km per trip wow


i don't even think I can hit 200km easily in ibadan

Kumuyiii:
Sometimes when i try to order a ride, i can confidently say 60% of drivers are very ill mannered....rude and quick to anger. What manner of mental aberration is this?

wait people negotiate via chat?

won't bolt read that if there is a report?
is that how they block drivers accounts?

daguru001:
Good morning, Bro. Is it possible and guaranteed to net 50k weekly in Ibadan? Thanks!

definitely.

just pick rides smartly and don't go to remote places

oyetpel:
I want to start this driving business in ibadan.
I have never done this before.
Is it still profitable in ibadan?

And which one should I go for? Uber? Bolt? InDrive?

Please help me out.

you're more likely to find rides on bolt but the naira per km is like 280

uber the rides are not plenty but fare is like 400 per km. I only pick it when the pickup distance is near me

Indrive? the rides disappear in the blink of an eye and especially if you're negotiating on the app. I think people are just accepting any rides and then negotiating after

some people tip extra without me asking sha

Sundays and Saturdays are the best days since there are a lot of requests.

I don't drive past 8pm so idk how that goes too

Please another day of asking if there is an ibadan group or a rider currently in ibadan that can give me tips

I feel like I'm learning on the job but I'm looking for someone with experience so I know how much more I can do

Vela01:
Yes, the Lagos factor. And e get areas in Lagos too Sha.

However, even in that abj, you need to learn the modules t maximize profits.

If your pick up is usually longer than 1.9km. say 3-5km. Theres no way you'll not net low.

And avoid driving around empty looking for orders, that's another way of reducing income.
When driving, do not overspeed so that you can avoid heavy breaks that alone can drain all your fuel.
There are lots Sha, but try look into the few highlights

what's your mileage like?

I get around 8-9km per liter but I'm not sure if I should be closer to the car's 11km/l I see online

Vela01:
Boss, Ibadan is generally like that for business.

In Lagos, I use the same toyota matrix. With 10k fuel, I should make 20k net.

The things is, target residential areas in the morning, and buzzing centers during the day. Ventura in Samonda, heritage in dugbe, ShopRite in ring road etc.

thank you, I do live in a residential area and get rides in the morning. (akobo area)

I guess I'll just have to find another residential area at the destination so I don't waste fuel back

Rinrey:
Go ahead since u are not on HP. Beginning is always rough since u're new to d business but with time u will overcome. Download d app, register & go for inspection. After let me know so,u can be added to Ibadan pilots association on WhatsApp. I think from this u be getting necessary info that will guide u to strive in the business. Good luck

hello is this group still available

Good evening all, I'm based in ibadan and I'm doing Uber with my toyota matrix


so far I've been able to make about 10k profit when using 10k fuel and then coming out from about 7am to 4pm

I also don't do any negotiating with users.

this would be okay for me but I find myself parked for hours sometimes waiting for a trip.

I use mainly bolt because that's where the rides are.

I've tried Uber but I usually don't get requests and on indrive, the trips disappear before I can even determine if they are worth it.


please is there anyone based in ibadan here that can help me with the areas where I can camp and times of the day so I can see rides regularly

and any other tips in general

Good day everyone, please who has received an interview invite from Dynamique Solutions in Ibadan

Did you go?

What was it?

Anybody in Ibadan with a reading table?

ishadfurnitures:
Yes you can buy some old used pallet in Ibadan

Thanks for replying. What area?

Hello, is there a place to buy old pallets in Ibadan?

I'm not into shipping and only need a small number for a personal project

OreoPaschal:
It involves higher capital though, but the cash out for their Farm-out is high more like they manage the farm for you, you bear the cost of cultivation and they manage the farm; you share profit at 70:30.

The Farm-in is more of buying land from their farm estate to practice agriculture.

I only tried e-Farm to confirm their authenticity and I am convinced.

Okay thanks

OreoPaschal:
Their Crowdfunding; E-farming. They gave 15% of 25,000 for 4months.

Okay, thanks.

Do you understand how their farm out or farm in works?

OreoPaschal:
Try FarmPark, it's trustworthy. I am a witness.

Which of their packages did you use?

saliubello:
yes. It was successful where It was used and I was privy to know it from beginning to end. But it was in lowlands and not upland. I couldn't continue with the experimentation due to financial constraints. But I'm glad I spurred someone to action and he is smiling to the bank now due to increase in prices of rice.

Sad that you ran into such problems. Does it make a difference if it's upland or lowland rice?

Also, how large was your part covered by nets and what was the cost of covering such a space.

saliubello:
Hello friends, trust you all are doing great..with the recent border closure comes the Nigerian own rice. Unfortunately, we see rice in the far north, south east, north central and lately I saw Lagos grown rice.

See what you need invest in to grow rice in commercial quantities in the South West!

1. Anti Bird nets..
2. Combine harvester..
3. Threshers.
4. Destoners.

We never serious yet!

Hello, was using the nets successful?

Hello, I hear that medical fitness certificate to be presented at camp usually get rejected. Does anyone know why?

And is it safe to pay these "doctors" online for a certificate that would be sent soft copy by email to be printed
