Below is an excerpt from the doctor turned Uber driver murdered while going about means of sustenance

"At the station, they told us that the trip was a set-up, as they had planned to rob any Uber driver and it was unfortunate that it had to be him. They did not even give him an option; they strangled him from the back seat, pushed him out of the car and drove to the Afrika Shrine to celebrate"


He didn't even pick them up from the shrine , he picked them from Ikeja.

I pray his soul find rest after hunting down every evil mind responsible for his early demise'

When it's from the south....they called them terrorist

When it's from the west.....they tag them terrorist

When it's from the north....they tag them unknown-gunmen or bandit

Enough said

mrjaydee:
Why would a reasonable person accept a trip from Shrine to abuleegba? One uber driver was killed last weekend.

Make una dey take am easy... why would u just die like that for how much?

That's the alleged killer of the driver

Shrine to abule-egba is not a bad trip at all...

Na make God dey deliver man pikin from dark souls like the killer. Not all request from shrine is from evil people such as the above.

Tega husband go dey wish say na next week dem evict BOMA....beacuse part 2 of their script na for inside hotel room them go shoot am tonight

Hello everyone. I want to share my experience yesterday using Bolt. Yesterday, I had a job interview at Jibowu, Yaba. It was raining heavily and I needed to be there on time. I would have opted for jumping bus under the rain but I decided to use bolt for comfort and to avoid getting there all wet.

I ordered for bolt from Ayobo (Near Access Bank). It told me 2100-2700. Now it's been a while I used bolt so I was kinda confused which price it was so I configured my app so I can pay with my Bank.

They sent me a driver by the name OMIDURO SUNDAY. Immediately I entered his car, he did not even let me land, he started asking me "Are you paying with Cash"? I said no. He said Why? That he wants Cash. I said I didn't have. He started asking me "How much is the trip"? I told him the range I was given. He said No. That when we reach, it will be more than that. That the price will go up becos of rain which I did not believe and told him to move that it won't change. He kept being uneasy saying Uber is fixed by Bolt is not. He later opened his Uber app.

Next thing he said was let him end the trip and I give him cash and it will be 3000 which I declined. Remember, the rain was falling like mad. I was late for an interview due to rain. At this point, I couldn't understand his entire explanation.

When I questioned him again after seeing his disposition, he then opened up to me saying why he insists cash is becos HE HAS BEEN OWING BOLT SO HE DOES NOT WANT ANY MONEY TO ENTER TO THE BOLT ACCOUNT.

At this point, I now understood his agitation and told him I will give him cash (planned to give him the 3000 he asked for) and that he should end the trip immediately by parking now. He said he will, let him get to the next Bustop. That took like 5 mins.

Next he kept on agitating that I should give him the 3000 immediately. This time we were around Ipaja. That was where he parked.

To cut the long story short, I got to my destination late, gave him the 3000, later realised that Bolt debited me 400 again from my app.

This is becos the man decided to eat my time of 5mins to stop at the next Bustop which cost me extra 400 which I told him to stop immediately but he refused saying let him get to the next Bustop.

In all, he got 3400 in total. I'm sure he would be smiling seeing I didn't make noise about it smarter but I know what to do.

My Anger Is The Extra 400 He Made BOLT charge me and to make matters worse, I didn't still get the job. N3400 all wasted plus stress

He even stopped at Iyana Ipaja to buy food begging me he is hungry. Left me in the car. Took like 5 to 10 minutes buying food. Wasting my time. Was even eating and driving becos he knows nobody will see him becos his car glass is tinted.

I'm going to call Bolt today and tell them all these.

His name is OMIDURO SUNDAY ROTIMI and I also have his phone number which he gave me.

I will call Bolt today. Such driver is not a good person and shouldn't be working for them.

I'm using my experience to enlighten others on the evils these men do to we passengers.

Please know alot about Bolt, Uber before entering becos once these drivers know you are a newbie, most will want to cheat you.

Corruption is deeply rooted in them and they will reap what they sow.

Thank you.

Judging by your own side of story, drivers with this type of attitude should not be spare on the platform. Kindly report him, but then the downside of your case, is the fact that you accepted to proceed offline with him, judging by your story I understand your reason for though.

If you report the trip you might end up getting your 400 back, the penalty for the guy is bolt headache to decide.

Coketols:
Thank you Sir, but please how do you mean by bolt gives two destination trip, so you will use one in the morning and the other when returning..

Because my plan is to find a rider close to my house that is going to VI in the morning, so I drop the person off then go to my office.
At evening, I will find a rider in VI that is going to the mainland, or anywhere along my route home, then drop the person off and go home.

This is the plan, just 2 trips per day.

The major reason for my decission is to make little income that can sustain the upkeep of my car, asides the income i get from my 9-5 job.
A car is a depreciating asset, as it losses value daily due to wear and tear, so I need to turn it into an asset, and generate income that can be used to maintain it and keep it in perfect condition.

Destination trips as the name implies mean when activated...you will only get trips towards the set destination. For example, if you work in Victoria Island....you can set your destination to Victoria Island using the app ...meaning you will only get request of trips heading to Victoria Island or any where closer to Victoria Island, like ikoyi, obalende, Lagos Island as you prepare to drive out in the morning

Same applies when you close as well ...from the island set your app to a place in mainland.....for mainland ensure your are specific e.g ojodu Berger, Lagos mainland, bariga, etc.. so that you can get a trip towards the indicated areas....

Bolt allows you to set your destination twice in a day, you can use it anytime of the day, but since your plan is just two trips in a day that where I said morning and evening.

You will understand better when you undergo the online training.

Coketols:
I am contemplating using my Car for Bolt/ Uber, a Honda Civic 09.
I live on the mainland and work on the island, so I always drive to and from work alone on weekdays.

I would like to start Bolt/ Uber as a side hustle, that is, just 2 trips per weekday (no weekend trips), one in the morning when going to work and one in the evening when coming back from work. I will look for riders going close to my location to avoid stress.

Please I would like to know if the money raised from at least 6 weekday trips per week is sufficient to fuel my car and take care of other minor repairs.
Also, will BOLT/UBER permit me to do this, as I'm not into it full time and I will be having a low volume of trips on a weekly basis.

Your contributions will be very welcome, thanks

This was actually what brought about the idea of ride sharing. I will advise you register with bolt only as it fits your objectives.....bolt gives two destination trip, so you will use one in the morning and the other when returning.

Since it's mainland -island trip it should cover your fuel expenses.. even when you set destination you can still filter trip to ensure you get one closer to your final destination (home).

Bolt have no issues with how many trips you take per day.

BAZ001:
Guys please how is badagry road?
Someone wants to book me offline to and fro from lekki to badagry
Is the road good and how much should I charge ?

The best route is going through 3rd mainland bridge to link airport road then to lasu road and enter the badagry road from igbo- elerin , the road is in a very bad state. Charge what will cover the damages the road will cause to your car legs, and hope your car have a high ground clearance if not your exhaust pipe won't remain the same.

Ibukun93:
Good morning bosses,
I need your advice.
I started this hustle a month ago, and just this morning, I got a job of 170k at vi, I I stay at dopemu.

I'm thinking of doing the job then do uber Saturday/sunday.

But my issue is how to paying rent within the first one month of starting the job at the same time I dont want to lose this car I'm working.

Please I need your advice

Part A

Return the car, it won't work.

If you retain the car, to work fully weekends so you can pay for rent, what will happen on the long run is it will affect your productivity at work, except its government work or the company belongs to your family, you will loose the employment when your assesments result turns in.

Part B
Lower your expenses going forward......

Inquire about Lapo microfinance. Try to save 50k with them for 6month that's 300k, you will be entitled to a loan of 1.2-1.4m

Get a car in that budget.....hustle lightly just to pay out the loan weekly and argument it with part of your salary.

Pay more attention to A, B is just me thinking out loud what a colleague in similar position did

All the best

Yes, and it's as a result of successive state government not doing enough to ensure subsequent government have little to focus on.

The major town with good road no pass Abeokuta and ijebu-ode.... Other major areas na calamity

CheerfulGiver:
Hire purchase is slavery, and a scam.

I'm going to factually analyse this stuff again for the last time, then anyone who goes ahead to get a hire purchase is free to do so at his own risk. I'll be using the bread and butter of every average uber driver, the 2006 Toyota corolla.

Fact 1
There is no hire purchase on a corolla that is less than 4,000,000 naira, unless it is by the special grace of God, the almighty.
Fact 2
Average weekly rental on a corolla is 30,000 naira, while weekly deposit on a HP is 35,000 naira.
Fact 3
A guy on HP must deliver 35k weekly unfailingly, with a 2 - 4weeks grace of delay in payment, and he must do so in 110 weeks.
Fact 4
An average driver must do 1000 miles a week of driving.
Fact 5 A driver on HP is responsible for All repairs on that corolla, for the next 110 weeks. While a driver on rental splits repairs with partner.
Fact 6 Every driver must be able to save 6k daily. Whether rental or HP, else you're just a fool.

Fact 7 A very good Tokunbo corolla should come with at least 170,000miles.

Now, there are 52 weeks in a year. Our HP driver has at least 2 years on his contract. Let's say he works for only 50weeks, cos partners will never hear story, he must always pay his installment. In fact, moove will not hear story, but I'm just trying to be conservative.

In 50weeks, he would have remitted 50 x 35,000 = 1,750,000 and added 50,000 miles to the corolla and car is not his yet. His mileage should now be 220,000 miles

Remember the guy on rental, who pays 30k weekly, and who saves 6k daily? With the mentality of a hard working HP driver, but paying 5k less every week, he has a savings of 47k weekly.

47k x 50 = 2,350,000

So if my guy on rental gets a Nigerian used corolla at 220,000 miles, at the rate of 1.6m, he still has 750k to fix up car with.

Year 2, HP guy completes his payment, car is at 270,000 miles. Becomes his.

Former rental guy now adds 15k weekly to his savings, since he now drives his car 62,000 x 50 = 3,150,000.

Who really get sense?

Apt ! Detailed ! Informative !

XGhost:
You can do NordKapp full synthetic, 12k per 5ltr jug

Any review and where to get it...

After she don sleep over and you don knack her something ..you come here dey ask question....no worry incoming Baba ibeji

Mumusaphire:
So this is news. Hmmmm

So this is foolishness....na wa o

CheerfulGiver:
You won't regret. A friend had a 2006 highlander hybrid for 7 years. V6 engine hybrid, with a better fuel economy than 2006 corolla. Firsthand info. He would still be using it if he hadn't passed away.

Will drop a review...when I land it...thanks

CheerfulGiver:
Not possible. Earnings don't change. What changes is what you save from fuel.

Best car for this hustle is the king of fuel saving, the 2010 Toyota Prius.

A Toyota Prius is 50mpg city with a 11.9gal tank or 45liters

full tank in city driving is worth 50*11.9= 595miles

Therefore, an average driver should use 20 gallons of fuel a week, or 20 x 3.8liters = 76 liters of fuel.

76 liters x 163 naira per liter is 12,388 naira per week.

Savings of 23k weekly more than a corolla/matrix/vibe. If I work 48 weeks in a year, car will save me 23 x 48= 1,104,000naira in fuel costs alone.

I have more than enough for repairs.

Car is cheaper than a 2010 corolla.

Oh ....amma get this ....so help me God

Reubenson3:
All your views are professional and I like it...but will choose from the one that best suit the situation.
How much is the best price I could drop it if I'm to be maintaining my car by myself...and do I have any business with repairs (not in maintenance aspect, but base on lagos way of driving) and fueling after the fitst fueling. This are the last part I need to understand. Thank you

On repairs and maintenance... If you have a trusted mechanic, as I assume you have your own personal car, if you trust your mechanic that makes it more easier.....repairs don't happen all the time, if quality parts are used when the need occur.....

If he (driver partner) will be handling all repairs and car maintenance apart from major ones like engine and gear (which is rare if proper attention is paid to car manufacturers required materials for servicing and done at the right time) rental fee is fair at 25k

If you will be the one handling it through your trusted mechanic.... (30-35k )

All stated above is just my opinion based on experience from driving on the platform and as well as having few cars on rental.

The major decisions lies with you, it's your shoe.

Reubenson3:
Wow, I really appreciate you taking your time to give me a proper breakdown of things. I'll do exactly as you explained and if things get cocky, I'll withdraw my car. Thanks so much boss

But I will advise you 40/45k is on the higher side and that will be the genesis of unfriendly issues...

You can't expect a newbie to meet up with that week in week out, even the experience ones have their bad weeks.... If the man signed off on such agreement desperately just to make ends meet on his own end, your car will be the battle ground and the outcome you won't like.

Reubenson3:
This is the Camry 09 Hybrid I want to give my neighbor for the uber work. But it about 3 weeks ago. I need the best advice possible, so that I'll be on a safe side and he'll also not be affected negatively in any decision

If you have made up your mind giving out the car already...ensure you put the following into contract and validated by both party signatory.

1. Weekly remittance...30k
2. Clearly indicate who will handle repairs ....don't just say repair from from 10k or things like that....ensure repair conditions is well stated..
3. Clearly outline who will handle maintenance of the car and how.
4. Having the car parked in your compound is a positive for you...


All the best.
