Cut the story short, you wan drive?

Felicity001:
Menh... That place is freaky scary menh!!! See as mosholashi (mosque) big and fine like say na Mecca. See vegetation, quietness, well seren and clean... Mansions and tress all over. Strange thing is you won't even see a leaf in the ground. Chai!

I was too careful to step out of my car to have a sight view just in case I see any strange movement or approaches I didn't off my engine forbthe 17minutes I was waiting for the rider to come out because I was ready to speed off if anything funny happens.

Menh... That place is supposed to be a museum.

The most painful aspect na one stupid olosho girl dem order ride for I just provoke!

When I was thinking I'll be meeting another bu.hari's son... Nonsense!!

I check my app first thing this morning to see if bonus dey , the whitish of the app is scare even indiver sef no trip from my side unlike b4, I just jejely stay back after Chelsea match maybe people will be ready to go out by then , but truth be told u guys made 2M nov/dec can't u guys also go for vacation? Even if it's one hotel away from home imagine Baza u don dey road b4 7am on a Saturday

You've killed me, bro.

peeps4u:
You will be paying almost 4m in total HP package for a tokunbo big daddy. Hope you know the price of a tokunbo big daddy is averagely 2.4m+.

I dont know how you think you can get naija used big daddy for less than 2m on HP when naija used big daddy is sold for 1.3m and above.
If that car is sound, take the offer and hit the road. Work very well and save enough to keep the car in good shape through out HP duration so you have minimal down times

Good luck

All points noted. Wow. Thanks, brother.
Salute.

Pearl1910:
It's a matter of choice.
But u don't expect the owner of a used car to dash u d car simply cos it's used. Right?!

No be small thing. It's a good one sha.
Thanks, boss.

Pearl1910:
Quite frankly d only skill u need to succeed is if u can drive very well then if u like driving. As u work u will develop other skills that will make d job easier in terms of earnings and comfort.
So provided the person isn't a rookie in driving generally he can take up HP at anytime if given d opportunity.
If u r referring to a rookie in driving, I don't even recommend a learner driver to do Uber work whether rental or HP cos d rigours and mental work involved will take its toll on the person making him have many unpleasant experiences.

The Bolded Noted. Nice explanation. More wisdom to you, brother. Appreciate.

Pearl1910:
So how much is HP delivery? 30k max
If he can get a HP for less than 2m it's better than rentals. Provided him carry eye look the car him wan buy just like he would have done if he was paying cash for it.

Someone advised that as a rookie in the pilot field, make guyman first start with rental in order to understand and master the tricks of the driving game, rather than going straight for HP. He said the rental should be for like 3 months max, that once guyman don understand every trick of the game, he can then opt for the HP and fire on.
How do you see this, brother?

Pearl1910:
How much do u think it should go for?

D market price of that car shouldn't be less than 1.3m standard naija used. Therefore, HP can't be less than 2m. Fair price.
Or is it tokunbo u want to buy on HP at 2.1m?

No vex oo, Really?
On top of a Nigeria-used car? I would rather go for a Toks on HP, or Rental on that Nigeria-used. Omoo.

Few moments ago, I ordered bolt to deliver a TV to a customer in ikotun, as I clicked on confirm order like this, I saw a female profile (driver), omoo, I quickly cancelled the ride ni o.
I ordered for another one and driver arrived in less than 10 mins.
As we're on road like this, I just told the driver about the female driver that first popped up when I ordered, I told him as I saw a female like this, I quickly cancelled the ride ni ooo.
This driver first take me laugh anyhow. He said I should not have cancelled that ladies are also on bolt driving. I said it's because I never see a lady since I been dey use Bolt app to order, that's why I was shocked and cancelled immediately. This driver just dey laugh at me. That females are also on bolt hustling. I feel bad and amused right not for cancelling the lady.

GeneralZodd:
Very very high I no go lie. I noticed their commission is no longer 20%, it’s 25% with introduction of booking fee. Well I try to utilize and maximize my earnings wether little or big by saving and investing rather than excessive spending

A whole 25%! . That's crazy. It is well, bro. God no go shame us.

YeyeGbami:
Just say uche.

My hand no dey oo.

GeneralZodd:
Lol. Not as bad we assumed, I still manage make 89k this January

And January never even reach half, more papers, bro. Much respect.
But seriously, this bolt commission too high oh.
After removing fuel and oil money, data money, wetin come remain from the 89k. Swear, bolt shouldn't have more than 10% on earnings.
I read say one bolt staff dey here with us make him no vex oh, abeg no vex.

IFSHR:
I chase weekend bonus....I no dey use am play, target is 20k but 15k on Arsenal match day.

Much respect, bros.

IFSHR:
This is me.....14k...I am close for the day....2k goes to fuel ...2k goes to bolt repayment which I do every Friday to make weekend cash trip easy.

Starts work 8....by 5pm I am on my way home......take one day rest....sometimes Monday and sometimes Thursday .

Alubaraka ni koko

I like this your hustling strategy. Work 8-5 (9hrs outside, not driving all through) to net 10k after commission and fuel expenses. This makes life simple and your health and car won't suffer it. Except on weekends that one might want to go the ant way (smiles). Respect, bro.

eyinola:
Any small thing dey vex me now, this one book ride to alagbado i waited for him to call so I can tell him to cancel , after like 20 mins no call i kuku arrive to wait for 5 mins b4 i go cancel next thing na whr are u

It's like some spirits are. Disturbing some riders. After 25 mins and you were already leaving, that's when he come asked where you were?!

samobaba4u:
The rider self fit be agent

Gudvibes06:
I left there 11:55pm after paying 33k people wicked for this life.

Sorry for the experience bro. God will compensate you. Those animals, na small opportunity them dey look for. Once they see am like this, they close their mercy eyes. Sorry brother.

Springboot:
No sir.

Fear almost choked me.

Springboot:
2016 GS350, Yes all doors including the front, I've confirmed it several times, the settings can be modified using a dealer tool tho.

Sorry brother. You dey use this ride do Uber/bolt?

thoollz:
Those are the areas with high demand for rides AKA surge areas. The darker the red, the higher the surge. 1.3x-1.9x

Woah. Thanks brother. Appreciate.. Much respect.

thoollz:
Red tomatoes everywhere.

Good evening, bro. Sorry for asking, no vex please what does the red map mean on the app? I might have missed the meaning or skipped it if it had been explained already.
Thank you brother.

Olayetan:
Who saw this on Facebook?

Oluwa oh. this one sad oh.
Imagine the trauma this driver will be going through. And the security system in Nigeria is wack, I fear how the police will handle his case. he reported this case himself, put his plate number and phone no. Police should use their professionalism in his case. I pray God intervene oh. This is sad.

eyinola:
exactly, I don't know why is always hard to show people the way, u made 200$ , u make 32K ..which Wright thinking man won't like to learn such opportunity, WE WANT TO LEARN, WE ARE OPEN TO MEW OPPORTUNITIES, MAKE UNA SHOW US THE WAY EJOOORRRRRR...I HV WAIST PAIN SINCE DEC 23RD ANF ITS CAUSED BY TOO MUCH DRIVING

My brotherrrrrr, me I no go blame them ooh. You know how many people viewing this thread? Some unknown people, silent viewers, etc. Maybe the man is expecting interested people to PM him. If na you self found a hidden treasure, despite the fact that you want other people to succeed, you won't disclose it until you have fully bellefull.
The ones that might benefit are those that come to you directly, confidentially. Shey you get? I no blame the man oh. Even Uber/bolt drivers don't want plenty people to join the field, if you understand what I mean.
I'm having the feeling that the man is sharing the way to reliable people that come to his DM (I may be wrong though).
So na brain it all requires oh. Much respect.

Yepa! See as my epistle long.
Make una no vex O. I didn't know.

GeneralZodd:
Winter has come, everybody Dey write article on how to go start other side hustle. Some were advising us to go and park our cars at home due to recent Bolt fare slash and scarcity of ride request.

During festive period you guys were busy cashing out, Nobody remembered to write article or doing other side hustle .

Ghost advised we should work on Mondays and weekends only and use other days to do other hustle. BAAZ is saying to drive no dey hungry am again. He felt he has wasted his life driving. .

I am not against doing other side hustle. It’s multiple streams of income, but the truth of the matter is that in every business there is bullish and bearish period. You don’t expect the ehailing market to be bullish this period. January/February is usually not booming like other months. but if you re very experienced you can still make good money during this period. Strategy is the key.

Any business you cannot persevere and withstand the challenges that comes with it and succeed in a long run, when you try other business and when its challenges comes you would chicken out easily.

The problem with most of us is that we don’t set goals of what to achieve in this hustle. We wake up, hustle, make money and spend it as it comes believing tomorrow will take care of itself. We don’t save, we don’t invest. I have set a goal of #2million this year after all expenses. And by grace of God I will achieve it like the previous years.


Goals are essential to success. It gives you fulfillment when you attain it. my bank savings and investment is what keeps me going in this hustle. When I reach the pinnacle, I will quit.

Wisdom shall never depart you, brother.
I know all of you people are wise men with responsibilities. I mean, real men. And I learn different things here everytime I come here and read comments.
Me self I have a petty salary work that gives me little money to take care of some bills and other things to a restricted extent. When I see that guyman needs to do something with life and grow financially, I woke up to my senses and stared learning the indepth and core idea and link of where I work. Now I have gained all the knowledge of the business in where I work, saved some money and I have already done my business registration ( with CAC certification - a limited business).
I see that as a stepping stone but one thing is that this business needs some financial trigger if I want to start making sales and creating more awareness to people reachable. That's why I have not left where I work which the salary is penny (LOL). Though, I am a key player in the place I work.
And I've been doing small small market of my business, I make once-in-a-while sales which makes me understand that u still need money to market my business to as large people as possible.
This is the main reason I met some of my friends who are into Uber/bolt work. I was educated and encouraged but I still went online to do more research and which led me to how I found this very platform. I love this platform cos of the nature of men and discussions and tips, one will always learn here.
Now, where I'm going exactly - I have much interest in this Uber/Bolt cos I know that it will fetch me some money to help my business. My business is the main target, but it requires some money to push to create awareness which my salary job is not helping in that aspect (smiles). Exactly why I'm opting for bolt/Uber.
I'm at the stage of getting a driver's license. Once this is done, I will try and get a car for Rental/HP and start hustling, while my main business will be my partner as I do bolt/Uber.
This in essential means, doubling/trippling hustle is the best for a man in this country we are. If one has two or more sources of income, one should at least have rest of mind that if one is not doing well in particular period, the other will do. Cos there is season for every business.
January - February is the winter period for Uber/bolt as I learned here. These 2 months shouldn't be a yardstick to condemn Uber, cos I know that everyone here is aware that Uber/bolt gives good money (for the wise ones who know how to save).
If you one has another business/hustle link, good to go.
It's very very undeniable that one should not make Uber/bolt the only source of income. Ah, the person go hear am oh.
My comment is not an advice, I said make I involve myself in the conversation.
Much respect everyone.

BAZ001:
Good,
Drive like ants and breakdown physically (health depreciates. )
Drive like ants and car breaks down for two weeks and start taking bus from oshodi to ipaja (remember poverty days)
Drive like ants and breaks down mentally (go to rehab when car breaks down & you are unable to drive.
Drive like ants and sleep in the car or malls
Drives like ants and doze off in traffic
Drive like ants and gross 800k monthly
Ants don’t last long on the platform

At least for the period I've been here with you men, I know what all of you people mean by ant.
I was only playing along with the oga in my comment, boss. Me wey I no like stress for my life. Ant kill me there!
Thanks boss. Much respect.

Felicity0001:
I know for her

U believe she was saying, is it because you're driving a Benz? that's why you can't come and pick us from where we are? Something like that.

Even the other girls self, one was asking her friends, is this car a Benz or he just put the logo on his steering? I just dey look them they laugh for my mind.

This got me rolling inside gutter.

Felicity0001:
The thing self is beyond my comprehension o but after I drove out of that area to Skymall, Ajah I was able to go online.

It's Lakowe not ikorodu.

Both Uber and Bolt see that place as Ikorodu reason why one will get request from ikorodu each time you're around that axis. The annoying part is , rider will call and still ask you. "Where are you"? "Are you coming"?

Coming kill you dia

Okay bros. Now I understand.
To the @bold Kikikikikikikikik...

YeyeGbami:
Don’t mind him, na ant himself be. Everybody knows.

If you drive like ant nothing will happen. Worst case your engine breakdown and before then you go don make money to rent house for chevy view. To buy another engine or car will be easy.
Someone did here.

Okay, boss.

Felicity0001:
Aswear now just imagine because of winter see where I find myself after Uber brought me here ooh now they're telling me rubbish...

thank God Bolt to the rescue even if na lekki ph1 I no mind blow empty reach house from there because nobody go gree enter sole for Benz wahala for uber driver with Benz

The only thing now is how long do i need to wait b4 I'll c the lekki self.

God help me today... Amen!

Just 1 trip on Uber since yesterday that app has been on oooh.

I greet you, boss.
Below the screenshot you attached here, it says "your vehicle is not allowed to operate in ikorodu."
It is because it's a Benz or some other reason(s)?

BAZ001:
If you have your own car
You are good to go no fear but if it’s rental/hp you must drive like ants before you make a living and you will definitely break down and the car will not remain the same trust me.

But let me state this for other newbies reading. if you don’t have job or other source of income, pls get a car on rentals/ Hp and start hustling... it’s better than seating at home begging,

We newbies probably plenty for here. You can see that from the number of likes on this post.
Thanks very much, boss. More wisdom.
To drive like ants noted.
Salute.
