Of course they will, if you complete a trip and bolt talk say collect 1K out of maybe 1.7K. That rider get bonus be that.

If you check your earnings well, you will see that bolt will add the 700. It doesn’t really matter tbh, coz you’re getting paid.

Boss, It only reflects on my earnings, I've never received it from bolt since I started. Bolt has never credited any COMPENSATION to my account. This thing only makes my earnings increased.

Felicity0001:
Me dey collect my full money nothing concern me concern compensation amount. If bonus exceed N200 I dey collect the full fare if Bolt like make dem add am to my balance it's their business.

This bonus na him make most riders don't agree to offline trip again.

Rubbish

Boss, wait, you mean that's bonus to riders?
So, I'm not getting any compensation of that money?
Why bolt now says BOLT WILL COMPENSATE YOU so-so amount?

Abeg something is not clear to me.
Where does this compensation amount go to? I've been having this compensation amount since but I don't seem to understand how it works or where it goes.
Please make una enlighten me on this.
Compensation here = N600.
Where the money dey go, abeg?

I don't think it's ideal to roll out inside this rain.

Felicity0001:
Carry go nothing mega

Okay, boss.
Fear grip me when I see NIN and BVN requirements.
Much respect, boss.

Felicity0001:
Tell him m to get it fix before it will result to something serious, the gasket is totally gone and that engine is working under serious pressure

Alright, boss.
I'm telling him today.
Much respect, baba.

Rain effect.

Bosses, I want to understand this oh.
NIN + BVN.
Is this safe and real?

mejai:
Hope no overheating.
Check for leakage and have ur radiator flushed. Buy coolant and add. Then watch the level .

No overheating at all, but the owner called my attention to it, and I've never experienced overheating with it.

Conner44:
Head gasket don japaa

Has the vehicle ever overheated in your hands before? Go and ask the owner about any overheating or head gasket change works he has done on the vehicle before.

Unless he wants to pin it on your head tomorrow

Or

Maybe the vehicle had a small radiator/water passage leak and the owner poured fufu inside to block it

Before I collected the car, the owner told me that it used to overheat that I should always be mindful of it.
Because of that, na everyday before I even start am I dey fill the radiator water and I always have reserved water in the boot just in case. And ever since I been driving it, no sign of overheating at all.
I will have to notify the owner immediately. I don't joke with things that have to do with car, I'm always mindful.
Much respect, boss.

Bosses in the house, please help check this.
I want fill the radiator water now and I saw this build-up substance when I opened it.
Please what's this and what is the cause and implication?

komodapson:
Is all part of the experience bro. Thank your stars say those rag-tags - fierce - No mercy looking CBD officers no waylay you. You for hear wetin Fela called "Pansa- Pansa".... But all the same, its still necessary for you to be conversant with that "lungu"...so, I'll advice you go on trips mostly on weekends(Saturday & Sunday) to that Area, for now.
so you go fit dey familiar with the routes... Its necessary...

Mind you, for lasgidi, don't be decieved..No how you go still chop am, you no fit escape am 'cos the city thrives on a " Dog - eat - Dogs " syndrome

Boss, na because you said it's NECESSARY oh, I have prayed never to cruise that area again, even if na weekend or week-begin, I no want dey familiar with the route.
I still wouldn't wanna go that area again, cos the experience yesterday no suppose repeat itself in a man's life.
Abeg no vex, wetin you mean about I GO STILL CHOP AM?

YeyeGbami:
Lmao, na you dey find island trip that day laa. Island sweet, just no go Central business district (CBD). Victoria Island, ikoyi , phase one dey alright no shaking. I no dey pass chevron except maybe weekend and na during the day.

Mainland trips no bad at all, one rider request me on uber from abule egba. I accept am, i call am to know destination. She say island, i say i dey come.

Bolt gimme lere, i jeje go carry bolt rider exit uber app till later. If you own your vehicle you can set your own rules otherwise my brother anywhere belle face. Kowope!

https://cbd.lagosstate.gov.ng/

I don go island 3 times already but this one off my cap.
The way some of you dey combine Bolt + Uber dey always surprise me.
Don't know why I no too gbadun the Uber self, bolt alone dey serve person wella.
Boss, mainland still sure pass oh. As I drove enter Ogudu yesterday after my horrible experience on the island, I come dey get smooth orders. My mainland riders dey always gimme joy. I cruised 3 more orders before I set go home.
The 2nd bold, you don finish talk for here. You truly know what's up about this.
I checked the link attached. E plenty. All noted.
Much respect, boss.

Gentlelife50:
Who dey go there before? I dey enter VGC/Ajah own because na my area.

Boss, I regret ever stepping on the LI.
Na one order carry me go there. Rider ordered me from Anthony village to deliver something on Igbosere Road, Lagos Island.
Omoh, my eyes see shege today. I come go online on driver app. Na my mistake be that. Orders wey come in, traffic no lemme reach any rider PUP at all. Even my driver scores dropped 3 times.
I quickly go offline come face traffic say I need to get out of here to mainland.
Spent almost 3 hours within that area. One agbero even want fight me say I no allow dem enter in front of me.
I just dey look say I no get your time, na how I go take land for Mainland be my prayer now.
I don't think I will stop on the Lagos Island again. My eyes see pepper today no be small.
If you dey Lagos Island, abeg no go online, you go regret it. No wonder anytime I check driver app, that axis always carry tomato paste.
Much respect, boss.

Don't come Lagos Island, it's a trap.
I talk my own.

Fuel dey suffer.

Pearl1910:
Where u go see loan of at least 2m to buy Tokunbo car?
Then them go tell u say repayment na 200k/month
How much will u keep for yourself after you pay 200k, repair and service carbevery month?
Think am well o.
Either u drive on rentals and safe and buy ur naija used car outright or u do HP jeje and be paying small small, before u know it u don pay finish.

200k monthly ké?
I will use this rental to save sha and try seeing to HP.
God no go shame us.
Much respect, boss.

BAZ001:
Dis comrade won’t kee me with laugh
Dt Telegram group doesn’t have anything to do with Uber bolt

I tried joining Wazaap and telegram of Uber bolt drivers in Lagos nobody gree add me.

BAZ001:
Bro I no dey understand wetin happen, maybe DM goes to wrong email but I reply on nairaland and won’t get any response again.

Are you in that our telegram group that Fuckeveryday is an Admin ?

Boss, since you no be pilot for now and you no even dey around, you fit lease your seat out to me in the telegram group?
I go dey give you updates day-in-day-out steadily.
Much respect, boss.

BAZ001:
You too much,
Even me no dey respect you cos you are on rental... I don’t know how rentals guys remit 25k week in week out. Apart from the fact that you can drive inside flood to bad and good roads , carry 6bags of rice and all.
Rentals no be am

But well done

Boss, you kuku know say rental na stepping stone for us wey no get ride. HP makes sense cos one will be the owner at the end of the day, but the interest that's added on HP no be small thing. Though it's understandable say na business the owner/seller want do, but it's too much mehn. I will rather opt for getting a loan to buy my choice of car that and will be paying back monthly. Loan interested can never be as high as HP interest on the same payment duration period (let's say 18 months).
If I see an opportunity for loan like this, na deal.
God no go shame us.
Much respect, boss.

BAZ001:
We no be dsame thing

Do you know the meaning of I carry 45mins Paid waiting on 1.7x 2 3rd Mainland Bridge 2 MM2 from PU

Even partners that have never driven on the platform can’t understand what we go through on the field.

E easy Na him person go stay for Ekoro dey expect better ride ? Or our bro ikejamanism on a Monday morning.
Even Glithronix wey just start to dey drive yesterday s don dey give tips

Until u drive from 5am friday morning till 11:59 pm friday night and resume 4:30am on Saturday till ur body break then and then I go know

Boss
Which tip me I get to share? Na wetin I dey see on road I dey tell oh. And no how person go join this pilot clan wey no go get something to say. Don't forget say na here I learned wetin I know today about this hustle. If I no fit talk, that means I no learn anything from you bosses. Means the gigantic knowledge you bosses have shed out on this platform no have impact on us newbies.
Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Which information, which post

rapheal5:
I need you comrades to put me through indriver app, most trips I see on the app are always far from me...

I can't count the number of times that I've got orders that took like 15 mins to rider's PUP, except if yours is longer than that.
Why don't you just stick to Bolt?
I intended joining Bolt and Uber together when I started, but Bolt alone no allow me merge - Bolt riders alone are enough except you want to drive Yourself to stupor, cos you need to pity your car and your health, too.
I don't know how goons here merge Uber and bolt and even Indriver together.

Use bolt alone and target Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday sometimes feel like weekend on Bolt (with surge).
And try going out when there are tomato pastes on your Bolt driver app.
Just stick to one driving app make you no kill yourself, brother.
Much respect, boss.

rapheal5:
boss i don enter lagos the 2 trips i did, first one from iyana ipaja to airport, I position tire till I get to agege before I see another one to ekoro road...

I see you have the agility to drive. Don't stress yourself, boss, just go to Surulere/Ebute metta/Ojuelegba/Somolu and their neighboring routes, you will see orders as you are looking for.
No slack, bro.
Much respect, boss.

mainaugustine:

Felicity0001:

BAZ001:
It’s better you focus on your electronic business and drive for 2days, once you get comfortable driving especially in Lagos your brains will not work well again.

If Na lie look at donfortune48 & gentlelife50 post on stabilizer linkage dem resemble person wey still normal ?

By d time Lagos kazeem and olosho riders finger ur brain you will need rehabilitation like CheerfulGiverr to come back to ur senses.

The only people that still confuses me are Felicity001, pope191 and pearl1910 they can act normal today and abnormal tomorrow.

But others like yeyegbami, donfortune48, Gentlelife50, and some others wey fear no go make me mention are no more normal... cruise all the way

Na whisper I whisper to u alone no loud am

Boss, the way you brought their names out and served dem individually really killed me.
However, what I meant by BALANCE FIRST was that there's are some things I wanna put in place first.
Sure, my business is a priority, I want to balance some things first before I can be able to merge both together.
Boss, if I drive for 2 days, how do you expect me deliver my remittance to the car owner?
Abi you don forget say na rental level I dey?
Much respect, boss.

Much respect, boss.

Much respect, boss.

Felicity0001:
Better... C that advice baz001 gave you up there? Listen to it well.

The same way you wash your dad's car is how you'll also wash your car.

My modus operandi hasn't changed from the days of my rental.

I rest every Tuesdays and days car needs mechanic attention.

Last week Friday I started work late around 3pm I got home past 1am then set out to ajah to pickup a client to Alakuko that was all for that day... Sunday I worked from 2pm till 11pm Monday I didn't work, yesterday being Tuesday actual, my rest days... I use am carry madam go market to stockpile the house.

My target is long trips on days I want to work fully in Bolt, you can't just be changing destination anyhow without letting me know from the onset of the trip, I'm not your personal driver Oga/madam.

On Friday I carried one girl and as we enroute she liked the comfort of the car na so say told me she would like me to carry her for two other stops after getting to her current destination.

From her house on castleRock to a supermarket along the street then to Agungi and then back I charged her 3k, she offered to changed location on the app b4 but I declined since it wasn't a surge trip.

Bolt wouldn't have charged that much.

This work na calculation

All advices taken, boss.
I've gained a lot from these your comments (plus the ones Bazo gave me).
I'm catching up on them.
But you are a boss, you own your car. we are still a rentee, have to deliver to the owner as stipulated. We look up to God to answer us, too.
I'm not marketing my electronics business yet, cos I've not balanced. Once I'm balanced, I will be carrying my business with me while piloting. My business needs marketing, but once I don balance well, I will start moving it.
I want to be using 2 days to rest for driving, using the 2 days to push my electronics business, but I'm not balanced yet.
Much respect, boss.
