Nnpc around ojodu is selling. Spent 4hrs just to get fuel today. I gently drove back home to sleep. Out now and seems like I’ll still have to go continue with my sleep. The fees on indrive can give a man nightmare.

A whole 4hrs just to get fuel?
I no get the patience to dey queue for that long. That's why I have my 30L keg in my booth permanently.
I went to Jibowu and just went back home straight, I just wasted my time.
Northwest on that gbagada express service lane had a queue long wey reach mobile for Obanikoro.
Wetin dey cause this scarcity gangan?
Cos I dey confused.

Much respect, boss.

Abeg, na where dem dey sell fuel?
The filling stations for alapere here no sell and queue everywhere is longer than a donkey's life span.
Any updates, make una throw am here oh.

Much respect, bosses.

Avoid 3mb if you're going to island.
A word is...

Much respect, bosses.

pope191:
Sunday morning can be boring after taking ride to church zone. One will have to chill till after church before proper trips.

It is well.

Much respect, sir.

YeyeGbami:
If i hear, na ant league you dey since newbie

Sunday morning and Monday morning work dey always frustrate my life.

Not just Monday morning, the whole of Monday.
Wait, did I just read you say 'Sunday morning'?

All in-drivers should just go and pitch their tents on the island.
See as the whole mainland is blocked.
Monday driving-work is for jagabans like una, not for a lazy driver like me.

Much respect, bosses.

pope191:
I doubt if nah on indrive

No doubt oooh.
I understand you as per say na witches full indrive, but that one na one of the good witches among them.

Much respect, boss.

With extra 3k added as tip after the ride.
This is how all these female riders should be doing us, abi?

Much respect, bosses.

Assuming I have Twitter (X) and other quick platforms ni, I for dey follow Sanwo-olu and minister of works back-to-back.
Some traffic jams we're facing in this Lagos daily are very senseless and avoidable.

1) The traffic that extends to Iyana-oworo and Gbadaga express way (for those coming from Charley boy is caused by the opening on the rail at iyana-ifako. Why hasn't this been reported for God's sake?

2) What stopped the work of the road from Olowu bus stop - Ilubirn - 3mb entrance?
This has been causing a hell of traffic on daily basis for crying out loud!

These two cases above are very senseless.

3) Why do government always abandon street lights on roads after completion?
Look at toll-gate bus stop of ikosi, since the completion of the express to Berger and back, they abandoned street lights which is the crown of safety on that express, and it is like that all the way down to Opic and back to Berger.
What that f**k are these people doing for God's sake?!

Same thing with ikorodu road to-and-fro, and many other dangerous roads like that!

Make I go find these people's handles on Facebook self.

The brother with a mixed oil & water in his car might have had a serious overheating which he didn't notice earlier.
Probably he got to notice when the harm had already been done on his engine & transmission.
Mixed oil and water is as a result of serious overheating, burnt head gasket.
Make him just go meet his mechanic and resolve it.
Pray the engine and transmission work fine after rectification, cos these two aspects of the car would cost a lot if it comes to worse.

The last statement, though.
Omoapena, e no pass wetin you fit do.

Welz:
please does anyone know if indrive have a physical office in lagos?

Even for the whole country, dem never get.

Much respect, boss.

Government is playing mind games concerning the upcoming protest.
If u are observant, u should see.

Omo police makes so much money from yahoo boiz o! Picked 2 guys from that train station at yaba. Map showed me oyingbo-iddo. Police stopped us after iddo, trying to make a U-turn to Eko bridge apongbon. The police oga didn't even search their bags. He just collected one of the guy's phone and searched through. I was already angry cos they were delaying me. They found fraud activities on the phone and told me to drive to their office, after contain. I refused and told them to take them in their car and allow me go. They asked if I don't want to collect my money, I said No. That I picked them from the train station and they are going to landmark. I can't collect any money now. Their oga begged me and I later succumbed. To cut the long story short, we got there and they collected 500k from these guys. Their money is about 7k. They transferred 20k to me when I got to landmark. The police oga collected my number at the station and sent me a text to send my account. I sent it and he transferred 20k to me. I actually felt bad for the guys but I blamed them for leaving such info in their phone.

500k for what nahhh?
This is why these policemen would continue disturbing Uber drivers carrying riders.
And one thing I hate is policemen harrassing my riders even if them be gee.
The thing dey vex me and that's why I always avoid taking any routes I know they always mount by all means.
Why not leave these guys and face the real criminals (politicians)?

mejai:
Buy starlink. Mount it on top ur car and rest. 🤣🤣🤣

😁😁😁

YeyeGbami:
Don’t buy branded mifi, it will be locked to the provider only. Buy universal mifi, that way you can insert any network provider you want. I’v never had issue with mtn network except for some spots wey the thing go just run from 5G to 3G.

To end trip go become headache.

TPlink
Huawei

northbird:
I heard fiber one is blazing fast. But I think it works mainly on the island n some select places on the mainland.
Ask Yeyegbami.. on fiberone. I think he uses it.

Modified: Fibreone is focused on residential and business. Fixed wireless. I don't think they have mifi.

Research on Swift.

Omoapena:
No 1 bros, meself I'm tired of switching networks.

I'm using MTN, Airtel and Spectranet, but everything they mess up. Spectranet is still stable when I'm outside but messes up at times too...

Thanks.
I've been seeing HTC as one of the best.
I go make my enquiry.

Much respect, bosses.

Abeg I need recommendations;
Which mifi has the best service?
I'm tired of switching networks between my two phones ( one is MTN, the other is Airtel).
I want to get a mifi that would serve me on the go anytime with the best network.
When you want to pick juicy trips is when these two networks would start yanmayanma.
Which mifi is best, abeg?


Much respect, bosses.

Barbiturate:
Just take am easy. Dapo na our own.

Meanwhile, what is causing this early traffic on 3MB and apongbon?

It has been like that for like 2 weeks nah.
Na roadwork wey dem dey do for that side all the way down to Ilubirin.
Omoh, just avoid going island except u want do the remaining of your work there till night, cos na so e go dey increase.
People taking apongbon as alternative route dey cause the one wey dey there.

Much respect, boss.

pheelhip:
Pls what's the correlation BTW fuel pump and car throttle

Throttle forces fuel to move your car, fuel pump (as its name implies) supplies the fuel.
Picture it like this:
Car: I want to move....
Throttle: okay, you need fuel to move...
Fuel pump: Oya, take the fuel...
Hope you get now?

Much respect, boss.

Omoapena:
I was told too by VIO officer at ojodu berger that you can actually do the inspection anywhere within the nation, but the only challenges you may have doing it somewhere else is 'Delay', they will first attend to people scheduled at that particular center, and particular day before attending to others with different inspection center...

Okay, baba.
Thanks for the additional info.

Omoapena:
I buy am truly, I no know who say make I go reply that person o...

Omoapena don buy market.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Been anticipating this since last year.

I thought they would finish the Opebi - Ojota link road first before blocking the bridge for repairs.

Another 90 days of gobe loading.
Inside life.

Be prepared.

BishopA71:
Good Day All,

I recently lost my job and I have been considering stating this Uber/Bolt/Indrive/Rida business with my Corolla.
I need some information.
What do I need to register?
Is the business still profitable?
Any tips? Any groups I can join?
I will appreciate any form of assistance pls.
Thanks.

As the owner-driver, it's more profitable, speaking from experience.
Moreover, you have the better tool (1.8L tool), you're 100% good to go.

Much respect, boss.

northbird:
I dont have and I'm not doing it too, Lasg should drink water on the lasdri n the vl fees. That should be enough now.
Moreover, I know every single operating position of those men in white and black. Na rookie dem fit dey harass.

I tire ohh.

Much respect, boss.

YeyeGbami:
If you have free time, i will advise you to do it.

For what purpose?

Much respect, sir.

Pearl1910:
Yes, u can do it anywhere.

Nice one.

Much respect, boss.

pope191:
Your money didn’t increase once your car picked. Whatever you were picked for will be there till it is cleared. I have already done my road worthiness. Went for inspection and was told to come back. Did that twice and got tired of going. The mad queue and everything. In ignorance we learnt. Now I know you can go to anywhere to inspect and it doesn’t have to be the particular center. That was how they give me that. How they book me for insurance is what I don’t know till that. I can fight it, but once you do and it doesn’t favour one, then the money can’t be reduced. Right now I can pay 20/30 out of the 40k and clear it. I’ll clear it sha.

Boss, you mean person fit go do the inspection anywhere aside the centre on the paper?
My person wey do my own go put Aguda Surulere branch, and me I hate going that area for any reason?
Though I get till next month to do my RW inspection but shey I fit do am for another centre?

Much respect, sir.

pope191:
It’s in this country you’ll see officers using uniform to drive korope and danfo.

As funny as this may sound , it is a big shame on this country.
Nigeria no get level at all.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Try and fix it, as camera is picking u, ur fine is increasing...just make sure u are on the right side of the law. U wey like to go Surulere, and yaba VIO always changing positions in that area.
I hate begging or putting myself in a situation that someone will take advantage of me. na now I dey avoid VIO and Road safety because of Lasdri, Hackney permit and faded plate number.
Normally, I don't fear them because I know everything is intact.

Abeg, wetin dey push some drivers go dey do Hackney permit?
I don't have it, and will never do it.
Anytime I'm stopped, they ask if I be Uber driver and my response still remains NO.
Btw, na where una dey jam VIO?
I hardly see these people on the road. Na FRSC dey always stop me and I no dey waste time with them.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Even if his friend was the Head of that station, ones u have been ticketed, u must pay d fine. U cant cut corners on that one. Even if u call Sanwoolu, Max he will give u money to pay
Also if they want to wicked u, u will go for that training, and bring tax clearance before u get your car back even after paying all the fines... Una never jam problem for this Lagos.

In other word, it's called Agbako.
You know, something like: una neve jam 'agbako' for this Lagos.

Much respect, boss.
