They are waiting for Nigerians to complain so they can come up with excuse that the money they use in maintaining the road is gotten from the lekki tolls…

If this is what they are waiting for, dem no go see.
The tollgates remain closed and make the whole roads spoil finish, na all of us go enjoy am together like that.

Much respect, boss.

Nigerian government will always wait till die-minute before responding to issues, na one of the problems wey I get with dem be this.
Bad roads - bad roads everywhere!

From my own stats, 80% of the traffic that always breathes on lekki - Epe express (to & from) is caused by bad roads.

Wait, can you just see the conditions of the roads now?
I can't imagine a working government sitting down and be watching his state deteriorating.
From lekki 1st round-about ni oooh (to & fro).
Another one that requires immediate attention is the traffic lights junction opposite Civic Center linking to Ademola Adetokunbo.
Same with the entry to Ozumba Mbadiwe when exiting Bonny Camp round-about.
What does this government gain from waiting for roads to damage completely before attending t9 them? To loot?

Imagine the Chevron Junction condition when you are coming from the 2nd tollgate.
Same with Jakande, infact all the junctions on lekki-Epe express way to and fro.

These things didn't happen overnight, they started gradually and we say we have government. Everywhere don damage finish.
I can't even imagine how comfortable this government feels with this.

Lagos and Nigerian government are a continual failure.

We are really suffering in this country.

Spits on their heads!

Pearl1910:
It has been postponed due to heavy rains.

In another news; maintenance is being carried out on the solar panels powering the camera on thirdmainland bridge, Adeniji end.
For those of us that think there are no functional cameras on Lagos roads.

For the cameras; installations have been going on for some time now, they even doing some works on them today.
All-in-all, it's a good one from the government.

Much respect, boss.

Cineinfo:
They've suspended the repair for now

Okay, thanks.

Much respect, baba.

Abeg wetin be the update on the 3MB closure?
I'm not seeing the closure sign on the map na why I dey ask oh.

ksmart027:
Baba bolt na werey, the are just after their commission.

YeyeGbami:
Big Amen! sorry man

This here na one of the reasons why am considering this lagos wey i dey so, no single normal human being left here. Just imagine person wey him car spoil wey need help, those mfkers will still come harass you join.

I still can’t wrap my head around why the police can’t go to those spot in an unmarked car and nab these mofos. Wetin i dey talk sef, Ojota wey be say police checkpoint dey sef these mad boys dey there.

Fúckin pigs.

I laugh @the bold.
Like say you no know Lagos.
Those Agbero boys and police are padis. Dem be same-same wey dey roll together.

Much respect, baba.

ksmart027:
Bolt introduced economy category in ph over 3 months ago. The 10 percent commission is just a promo and the will revert back to their normal commission in a week time when the promo is over. That economy is meant to attract passengers, it's only for their interest.

So, bolt's intention is to lure run-away Lagos drivers in and after few weeks, they go back to their 25% commission?
What a promo-tamus.

Much respect, baba.

pope191:
Pearl and Glithrónix don scatter this place pata pata.

MrReeseG:
Wait! What is the reason for the sudden hike in price on indriver... trips wey before before I go see 1800, 2000. I dey see 3k 4k there.
I saw maryland 9500 self
What happen!!!

Some of us drivers still think we are making enough.
If these e-hailing companies took the measure that would commensurate with the fuel hike, we will all know that what we are making today is a total crap.
We just dey rugged am onto say the price increased small.
Abi na the same price we used to spend on car maintenance in the subsidized era we dey spend now?
Everything has gone up since subsidy don go.

Much respect, boss.

konkoabove:
Glithronix baba, you can pay them in excess at 1st instance to avoid break in transmission, since the process is tedious. What do you think?

Sure, baba.
You know say sometimes, when cancellations occur, it will reduce person money, na wetin dey cause am be that.
Indrive needs to reduce their refunding days. You know that feeling you have when staring at your refund wallet with money inside.
Though, I had excess on my account and na that one I take quickly hustle first when good rides dey show up, to come credit am again na then wahala come start.
It is well jare.

Much respect, boss.

lakoomoyi:
Glith is really Angry ooo.

Indrive been showing me shege on top crediting my account.
Na yesterday own wey be Sunday vex me pass, onto say I set out very early around after 9 in the morning. Time wey person suppose dey sleep.
My target na 60k gross, but mehhhn, crediting my account in the middle of the hustle no gree.
Tried doing the bank payment instead of card crediting, but dammn, I hate that link, I no even understand am since I never use am before.
Managed to gross 48k. as at 9pm, after waiting to crediting my account and to no avail, I just vex go house.
15k fuel and fuel still smiling at me from the guage onto say I dey keep reserve very well.
Indrive should quickly sort this problem ooh, cos it's been like a week I been dey experience am, na that yesterday own vex me gangan because I set out too early.

YeyeGbami:
Lasu- Iyana Iba Express (Lanre Bus stop flooded).

Causing traffic from Igando inwards isheri roundabout

This place wey you mention here dey irritate me.
I've only been there once and na bolt sent me to that area.
Since I been dey use indrive, I no dey near trips going to that axis.
Drivers wey dey go that side dey try.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Omo...I escape am o. I just dey see traffic for map. Stew come dey everywhere

It was really madth that yesterday.
Both island and mainland come red. 3rd mainland alone dey carry 1hr+ traffic.
Luckily for me, I dropped someone at Terra Kulture, I just drove to Louis Solomon close, parked, pulled my seat down dey relax jejely.

Omoh, you people go don cash out like MMM.
Much respect, boss.

GeneralZodd:

Omoapena:

And they know their way to Bolt/Uber but won't go there. .

I bring this to you, pope191.

Gentlelife50:
This afternoon.

She: no AC?
Me: e dey
She: on am abeg I need am Wella
Me: No problem, I don't even drive without AC during hot wether.
She: Oga please reduce the AC it's too cold.
Next thing, she Oga please put it on low.
Me: it's on low.
She: afted a while Oga abeg off the AC.

Wahala, wetin these riders want sef?
They ask of AC as if it's AC that only matters, like it's more important than where they are going.

I can very much relate to this.
That's how we roll.

Much respect, boss.

kneo:
I see a lot of trips you declined. How come? Bolt didn't sanction you?

Bolt won't sanction a driver if he/she still maintains above the minimum/warning rate or score.
You can see the repercussion from his acceptance rate, he knows how to get his rate back to maximum sha.

Much respect, boss.

True at the bolded

I remember one day when fuel was still 185/litre I carried a girl from Igando to Sangotedo on bolt on 1.9

I was in bed when I got this request I jumped out and headed to pu

When I got to put she asked for offline

I told her 15k she said it's too much I told her no wahala

Let's do it online

As I ended the trip na 26k show

Tears full babe eye

Na she and her room mate contribute money to make up the 26k

I'm sure this experience is still haunting the girl like nightmare.
Na one of the advantages wey Bolt get over Indrive be that.
Generally, I hate offline with riders specifically, except it's a return trip and on the same amount or more than if I see there's traffic going back.

Much respect, baba.

Pearl1910:
Most of them want to cheat you, reason I don't like Indrive cos it's a price that's convenient for them that they put.
One just requested now, from Orchid road to Iyana Ishashi, Iyan Iba side on Bolt
Immediately he chatted me up and said "Online or offline?" I just smile, na Dem Dem be this. Baba Sabi say if trip end it will not be anything less than 15k but he is offering me 10k because estimate is 9k to 11k. I just said let's go online. Immediately he cancelled I am sure someone else will gladly do that trip for 10k but not me.

This is funny.

Much respect, boss.

pope191:
Almost all concept in life comes with demand and supply. One have to understand the mindset of the person you are dealing with and value of commodity before dealing.

All is in the power of presentation. Most people actually dont care about price, but safety, trust and security. Not saying we don’t have the kaku ones, but the principle is to take your shot, if it works fine and if it doesn’t? Fine.

One of the mistake riders make is to ask for a stop or take off route on indrive. Once he or she ask me what do you want me to add? You’ll hear me saying, no you talk. And they will go like you talk, if it’s not good we don’t have to go. I’ll be like madam, I have problem oo, the money I’m looking for is 2 million, I can mistakenly ask you to pay 2 million or you want to help me subtly. I’ve already create jokes and ease the person mind. If I am expecting 5k, I’ll thro 10k. The haha will enter. Las las we will end it at 6 or 7k. Most times I analyze cost of gas and ask them to do the maths.

It is well.
There's nothing I hate more than hearing a rider telling me he/she wants to branch somewhere, or pick someone up somewhere, or dropping something somewhere which will definitely increase my driving time and most especially, complete off the route to the destination.

The fact that I can simply impose extra charges doesn't solve my problem, cos most of them don't have the intention of adding extra.
The ones that want to add will be telling me some annoying extra they can add for stopping/branching. I've got 1/2 stars because of this and that one no concern me.

I tell em straight that I don't do branching/stopping, if you insist, I will give them outrageous extra charges if it's a must.
Some will propose a good extra and some will get you mad with nonsense extra. Smiles.


If you want to be doing all this branching/stopping, kindly switch onto bolt, abeg.

Funny enough, all Indrive riders know that In-drivers hate hearing branching/stopping, but they will want to throw it to you maybe you're one of the meek ones.

Much respect, baba.

dav1002:
Abeg my hands no follow oh @Glithronix:

Baba, no be only you.
Me self my hands no dey.
That's why I just bone am since. No be everything person go respond/reply to.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
So why I don't like offline generally is that sometimes the price isn't right and most times it's to odd destinations.

And when you give them offline price using your discretion, they will think you charging them too high and start complaining until you send them to go online and they see the price themselves.
The same reason I no too like offline too, cos I hate argument and too much explanation.
Some offlines I do are those riders who don't care about the price and don't want to stress themselves by ordering and waiting for another ride.
my neighbors as well, and referrals, offline comes from them, too.

Much respect, baba.

dav1002:
Eod

So, in a nutshell, you are telling that brother to be buying fuel of 6k (10 Litre) to gross 30k with his EOD, abi?

Pearl1910:
That destination point on the map is what informed the price, so I will not go more than 500meters away from that point. Except you add money to take u where u r actually going to stop. I even prefer this case because the offline part of the trip can easily be terminated at any point I see the road is bad or flooded or I feel unsafe.

I never dared picking those kind of orders and never will.
I no get strength to the drag with these people called riders.

Much respect, baba.
