Can't put my head inside this traffic wey dey everywhere+ this scorching sun.

Thank God this last trip I did brought me close to my house.
We go bust out in the night.
Much respect, boss.

Hmmmm.
Bolt drivers, this is your moment.
Over to you.

Barbiturate:
Camry muscle. I drive only on Indrive and Rida.
It use to be 5k before the fuel wahala/price hike. I work from 9am to 7pm

It is well.
God no go shame us.
Much respect, boss.

Barbiturate:
No wahala baba.

5k fuel can't fetch me 25k. I use 6k to earn 20k

Ahhhh, a whole legend
6k fuel to gross 20k ké?
Na Venza you dey use?
Indrive, Bolt or rida?
If I buy 6k fuel, 30k sure bajé and na only weekends I fit buy 6k fuel.

Barbiturate:
Me sef been dey reason that Glit reply!

Baba, no reason my matter ooh. Me wey I no know wetin I dey yarn.
Anything I post here na from my own personal and personal experience oh
Na wetin me I dey do I dey post here.
Much respect, boss.

ReadaDream:
Except you are using a 1.3L engine Suzuki Suppressor, 10L (#1850) fuel won't gross 10k.

It might not be possible with bolt, but with indrive which I use, it's possible.
I use 5k fuel (27L) to gross my daily 25k target with my big daddy. When luck shines on me, I gross more than that with that 5k fuel and I still keep my reserve in the tank.
Na people wey dey rush yanmayanma trips of 1.5k/1.8k/2k and even 2.5k trips go find it hard to gross 25k with 5k fuel.
But you're right, that's why I told him that 10L fuel "should gross him 10k" and not that it must.
And I also advised him never to try buying just 10L fuel in his car if he intends driving, cos na risky move. He must always buy fuel in excess.
Much respect, my boss.

Pearl1910:
You have been knighted a boss. You are doing well.

Boss indeed.
Na so. 😏

I pity people living at Olowora-ojodu Berger - and beyond.
Even as at past 12midnight, e red like stew.
I just dey check how area be from home.
When will people have peace of mind?
We are really suffering in this country.
Inside life.

TRADELYN:
Both please.
Maybe an estimate of the amount 10 litres petrol can generate.

5 days work, you're definitely guaranteed 100k gross. If you do the work well with a hustler determination, you will gross way above that.
PS: Lagos only. I don't know about ABJ.
The net depends on the car you drive (fuel wise) and which app you use since they all take different commission.
A 10L fuel should gross you 10k if you don't dead-drive. Mind you, if you're intending to drive, don't ever risk hustling with just 10 litre fuel in your car, it's very risky. Always buy fuel in excess.
Much respect, boss.

TRADELYN:
Can a driver still make up to #100K for 5 days in Abuja or Lagos as the cash crisis ruining businesses everywhere?

Please what's your weekly income now?

Net or gross?

sodiquisty:
Good morning pilot
Please I want to jump on a higher purchase agreement. The car is Nigeria use Big for nothing for 2.6M with initial deposit of 300,000. The interior and exterior is still ok
Is the amount ok considering the car is big for nothing.
I need you advise pilots

It's a good deal at that price tag, but depends on the production year of the car and its health condition.
Have you had your mechanic check it?
Much respect, boss.

Ekeoma3650:
I just serviced my car on Saturday and I washed (not with pressure washer ohh) the radiator. But still over heating. Mechanic is saying I should change gasket. Want to be sure before doing it.


Moreover, today I left house around 5:40am from ijegun to VI through 3rd mainland bridge. Till I reach office e no over heat as I maintained speed level of 40-60km/h even on side traffic e no over heat. But once I drive pass 80km it will over heat.

If your fan works directly, check if it rolls.
If it works on thermostat, on your AC and check if it picks properly.
Check the fan then.
Much respect, baba.

Ekeoma3650:
i guys, my car Toyota Camry 04 V4 , My issue is that the car do over heat when I speed from 80 upwards and whenever I ON AC, but when am in stand still traffic even for two hours, it won't over heat but once I speed off , the temperature will be raising and if I slow down it will also be going down.

This also happens when I ON my AC. The engine sound normal.

Just the over heat when I speed from 80km and when I ON my AC. The temperature will increase..

When I open bonnet to check, water will be boiling at the water reserve ( asin the water from radiator will be going back to water reserve and it will be boiling )

Because of this issue,I don stop my Uber hustle as I don't use AC due to the over heating.

When things like this happen, there's problem with the radiator.
Is your radiator a single cell?
If yes, then it means it can not carry the work any longer, thus need to go upgrade it to a double cell.
Is the radiator leaking?
Check the radiator cover, it might have gone bad and must be changed.
If you can't do all the scrutinizing, meet a rewire/mechanic to help check for the problem and resolve it.
Just pity your gasket.
Much respect, boss.

ReadaDream:
Tough situation man. What baffles me is, why Indrive chose to do giveaway with the fares. It's so bad. And riders reduce it even further.

I had to accept one trip this morning just so I can curse the guy. App brought 4100 (still ridiculous for 37km trip. He reduced to 3500.

I use Uber more these days (thanks to maclatunji). Just that card trips are too much and you won't know until you've started the trip hence I always ask including destination.

Indrive is aware of the situation of this country and they probably brought down the fare so as to keep passengers wanting to spend and they can keep having their percentage. This is what I feel about the whole indrive low fare stuff.
And you see those passengers, if you give them a wand, they're ready to put 1k for that trip.
Can we blame them?
This shall pass sha.
By the way:
This your response to that passenger na real savage.
"Your head like come to toscana."
Na Tiwa Savage I know, you be Horgan Savage?
Much respect, boss.

Everything worsened immediately after election.
My daily target that I used to make with ease had become tough with more time to be spent.
This last Friday, I set out at 8am (which I don't normally do), I entered house few minutes past 12midnight to make 30k.
I was at VI at 10pm yesterday, come see as everywhere silent and dry like say people have deserted the area.
Yesterday wey be Saturday that normally, events go dey bubb, e dry.
Come see the kind orders I was seeing yesterday, mostly going to Alasia/Ojo and its environs, I was like wetin dem dey do for those areas? The price of them self go piss you off.
Drivers go pick those annoying fares cos everybody is aware things are tough now and they would want to make some money riskying it by all means.
I could only make 28k yesterday wey be Saturday, omoh, I just vexed go house at past 11pm.
People have money but they can't spend it. They can't flex it. They can't move around.
All thanks to CBN and FG. Nonsense people.
I have 2 riders I'm yet to receive 4.5k & 5.2k respectively.
They've been debited and I have their receipts, but money never drop and these ones no ready to make another transfer cos they have evidences of payment.
I bought meal somewhere around ogba yesterday and did a successful transfer with my receipt and debit alert, I spent 1hr 30 mins waiting for those people to be credited cos they wouldn't lemme go. Na that situation affected my sales yesterday. Omoh, I no fit cry.
This country is in a deep mess.
Everybody's complaining.
My mumsy just set up a mini restaurant and we spent a lot to erect the business, though before election, because of this bulaba situation wey food dey waste, she's been home since last Sunday. Better than wasting food.
Make she wait till everything starts becoming normal.
As it is now, every angle of businesses is feeling the heat.
E go reach 2pm before I go out today cos I need to remit, if not, I no go work till everything becomes normal.
We are in hot pepperish soup.
Modified:
Where I parked on Billings way yesterday , I was refreshing my indrive app inside car na so I saw one man approached me with a greeting, he introduced himself and we started chatting, baba said he's been online (bolt) for over 3 hours no order came in. though I found that hard to believe. Bolt of all companies!
He saw me refreshing indrive and he said I should put him through in registration. Him sharply downloaded the app. I was just laughing.
Baba, na everywhere the thing dey affect ooh.

northbird:
For newbies and even the experienced

Avoid working odd hours. Around (4am-5am last week) Two cars were hijacked at gun point around Jakande estate,Isolo. A camry muscle and another corrolla. The corrolla has been found by police according to the victim who shared the WhatsApp audio.

Ignore any stupid Bolt driver score , if you sense
the trip is not safe especially with 2 male riders, cancel or ignore the damn order.
Moreover, stay safe,if you don't work on Bolt /Uber and no cash in your pocket ,but your life and car is safe. It's a good deal if you ask me ..

Though this can happen at any point in time, make God sha dey protect us always.
Normally, I wonder how some drivers start hustle by 4-5am on a steady
Na that time sleep dey even start to dey sweet self.
How many hours those drivers dey take sleep?
It is understandable that they want to quickly make some money before afternoon and before traffic, but still, I no see anything worth it from my own point of view oooh.
This country that's not safe, everybody just dey rugged am onto individual level of street OT.
It is well ooh.

Gentlelife50:

Traffic dealt with indrivers yesterday like this

Oga oh

YeyeGbami:
Container don fall for ketu bus stop, be advised. My indrive brothers no near there o.

Ghen ghen!!!
Food don land for bolt drivers.

ReadaDream:
Chai I pity you Sha. Did you talk to the rider about adding to the fare?

I didn't.
I don't do this.
I embrace my pain and pleasure anytime it comes.
Soliciting extra fee from riders could attract unpleasant response/attitude from them and I don't take such.
Riders wey be say dem rude normally, make I come go ask for tip? Heheheheeee.
And the girl I carried na olosho wey dey go meet her client at a hotel, person wey body dey pepper am already, say make her client no cancel the parole.
You ask for extra tip, you receive fire.
That trip was really a loss yesterday, a nightmare that must not be experienced twice.
Much respect, boss.

Dailyparrot:
Can Rida please shut up with their ride hailing price suggestion.

A trip came in on Rida and I saw the ride hailing price as 2800, and the rider reduced the price further to 2500.

I decided to check the price on Bolt and I saw it's between 3600 to 4400.

I checked Google maps, it was saying 1 hour, 14 minutes estimated time of arrival. What this implies is that the probability of the ride ending close or more than the maximum range on Bolt is higher considering the traffic condition.

Now, someone will take this trip for 2800 and be jubilating that he isn't paying commission, whereas he could have earned more doing the same trip on Bolt even with the 25 percent commission.

Unfortunately, riders would continue reducing fare prices. Same as they do on indrive. It is in their blood and we don't have control over that.
Na inexperienced and greedy drivers go pick those kinda fares without increasing the prices from their own end, and it will end in tears for them.
When traffic dey plenty, many passengers go switch to indrive and start proposing yéyé prices, cos dey know say some scapegoats go sha pick am ni. Awón alakóri.
This driver below is one the 'brained' drivers that know what they're doing.
Much respect, baba.

ReadaDream:
Wetin they happen for Lagos tonight?

Normal normal, if I see a thing like this and I never meet my target, I go just park somewhere and wait for the normal time the traffic go die down in the night and go back online, but yesterday own, person go just wait till kingdom come cos even as at 1mindnight, e still red.
It was really a cash out day for bolt drivers.
Just stay on the island and set your destination to Arepo, in the end, at least, 15k+ suppose come out of such trip.
We indrive drivers suffered yesterday.
It was a huge loss, no gain.

ReadaDream:
They play 4hrs20min of congestion but I will arrive in 1hr58mins

Google map they mad

Baba, yesterday was a nightmare to never be experienced twice.
From freedom way to Ikeja, started trip 15mins past 6pm, I found myself at passenger's destination @11:30pm. Trip of 6.5k
Na bolt drivers go smile yesterday for sure.
I dey house like this and I'm planning to sleep cos I no dey in mood to work today at all.
Even as at 1midnight, come see traffic,
I pitied people going to ojodu Berger and beyond.
I friend of mine who had a trip from surulere to ogudu said he spent over 4hrs inside traffic alone on ikorodu road.
Omoh, they need to hasten up the Berger express way. Cos that's where the traffic devil resides now.
Omoh, it was really a nightmare.
Much respect, boss.

HonourablePomk:
Thanks for the reply. I really don’t have opportunity to meet drivers offline. If you have experience how do you go about it please?

Concerning where not to go, from this thread I’ve been told to avoid festac, satellite town, mile 2, ikorodu. Although I don’t know those places but when I see them on app I don’t bother.

Please I will appreciate your contribution

In this kind of hustle, experience is always the best teacher.
Avoid those areas mentioned, but if you want to have something to say about those areas, I mean, if you want to be able to lecture people about those areas, you need to go through those places and have the experience.
All drivers here will lecture you on the areas you're advised to avoid because they have been there. As dem dey tell you to avoid those areas, you self fit put head and see for yourself, that's where you will know which and which areas you go put on your red list.
There are other places worse than the aforementioned areas, but na as you dey hustle dey go, na there u go gather the necessary experience and you go become your own boss in area selections.
As you've been advised on avoidable areas, if you find yourself there, just be extra cautious.
The most important aspect of this is to ensure you avoid anything one-way. I repeat, avoid anything one-way.
As I keep saying, lecturing new drivers would not give them ALL they need to know, na the driving movement go give them the experience.
Much respect, boss.

ReadaDream:
Meet with drivers offline, let them show you how to go about it.

Mind you, you can't be too selective on areas to work as a newbie. Your first and second month should take you almost round Lagos, by the end of the second month, you would have marked your no go areas.[

100% fact.
This is how new drivers would get experience and learn.
Much respect, boss.

Ahhh! Inside life.
Much respect, boss.

Omoapena:
Lolz, I trust my Nigerian people, if the overdraft is upto 10k like bolt own, they will purposely owe that and register with another number to avoid paying the outstanding...

Yesterday, I tried to see the limit of the negative allowance on indrive, it wasn't up to 3k self. I was restricted from taking orders when my negative balance hit about 2k+, can't remember. But it wasn't up to 3k.
I think the only adjustment indrive made was that they stretched it to allow you take order on negative balance, unlike before that once you have even N2 naira negative, you would be restricted from taking orders.
So, those who intended to take advantage of it should know now.
Much respect, boss.
