Nah the fastest and easiest food to access for this our job o & moreover, i no dey comfortable with all this buka foods...

No be lie o. Sometimes I go a whole day without eating. It would be in the evening I remember I've not eaten especially when there are back-to-back trips.

Sometimes I just wonder, "what if this rider knows I'm very hungry and might switch off anytime, would you be so comfy?"

In all, we thank God...

Olayetan:
You know how much you loose if you leave 50naira for 10riders everyday?


Me no dey leave change if you can't o, i will rather buy gala 50naira and keep inside my car till i feel like eating.

Bros, you still dey chop N50 gala?

I am keeping record of all the #50 I am letting go. So far so good I have let go of #350 in total. I will drop invoice with Bolt since they are mad.

Ride will end at #1050, rider will give me 2000 to start looking for 950 change. Or is the discounted fare of 350, 250.....

No be only them Sabi drop invoice. But in all honesty, I've only left for like 2persons. One was 1,050 and another 3,550. Different persons have left for me. So I dey use am balance...

xana101:
End trip on Bolt. N550. Rider didn’t have N50 me too don’t have N50. So I had to let go of N50. Why on earth will bolt start adding N50 to fair. This guys just seat in the office and bring up stupid policies. While not leave it at N500 or N600.

I just tire for the N50 deduction. It's very annoying especially when you meet some entitled customers that feel you must give them change. I just leave it for them if they are not willing to. N50 no go kill me.

There are no good roads in any where in Lagos. The inner streets of the Island can wreck your car as well. Have you ever driven into Terra Annex at Ajah before? Terra Annex is worse than Mushin/Isolo road, Olokunla, most streets around Sango Tedo market, most street around Igbo Efon, New Road opposite Chevron, the Rivers at Agungi, Hakeem Dickson linking Fola Osibo, most parts of Badore and Lambasa, just to mention a few. The main roads nko? From Abraham Adesanya to Sangotedo and back is a mess, no roads there again. From Ajah to Ado roundabout is brutal during rush hours. These places are all on the Island, there's no way your car will not suffer if you enter any of these places.

I don't go to most parts of the mainland because they look too devilish and scary, touts, criminals everywhere. It's also difficult navigating through these places. Hellish traffic jams, extremely far from where I live.

It's a lot easier navigating and picking up riders on the Island than on the mainland. When it comes to bad roads, it's all over Lagos. You just can't escape it if you are in this business, no matter how much you try.

Well said. Especially about navigation and traffic on the mainland. On a few good days when I go to the mainland, the wonder why I don't go for mainland trips.

It depend oo, if its on 2.5 surge and 90 mins plus destination trip, just ask the rider where u can piss and if they sell food anywhere around he/she can take all d time

This one was not on surge. I called the guy several times and each time he'll calmly tell me, "Please hold on, I'll be out soon". Ah an, you dey whyne me ni. I sha dey wait as trip no too dey like that. I was on the verge of canceling the trip when he came out. In my mind, thank God say I no cancel o...

I waited for a lady like that at Lekki. After 10mins paid waiting, she cancelled. That thing can pain ehn... I nearly swear for her that day.

pope191:
You go pay me b dat for Ali Babaring u.

So today I took a stop at uber office and decide to check the Moove thing, I saw Corolla 2016, fear no let me near their door, I was just having too many imbalance in my head & imagination... But Vegas come to mind, so I rest my case

I saw about 3 of them today with their stickers. One already had dents on it. Let's see how it goes...

Wait time... How long is too long?

DO NOT USE USSD Transfers to pay for your commission. whr Citi bank kon dey laidis?

You don't have to go to the bank. You can make the transfer from your bank app. Just make sure you put in your reference number (ONLY) in the narration.

eyinola:
thanks boss, u guys r very instrumental to we newbies , I follow the guildlines and my ratings jumped from 74 to 80 today and i did only 3 trips

Your activity score you mean? Check your rating, it should be around 4.something now... Abi e still dey 5.0?

deedee44:
No sir

Ok Boss...

deedee44:
Too much of that too will get you blocked. Just learn to avoid any of the options that is getting to danger zone

Boss, you get Lasdri?

eyinola:
me sef no get lasdri ooo

You just start na... But it's needed o, with Hackey Permit, for VIO and Co sake...

eyinola:
Some rider funny ooooo , I accept a trip , the rider no call me and me purposely didn't call cos i was already heading home, and she didn't cancel for 45 mins

Maybe the rider forgot. Was on a trip once and the rider kept changing destinations meanwhile before he updated the destination at first, a request came in. When I ended the trip about 4-5hrs later, the request was still there.

Some go say make you cancel as they don't know it affects you. Yesterday, a request came in, pick-up was 25mins away (there was traffic). I called rider, and he told me, "You, you don't have hand to cancel the trip abi?" I ended the call immediately and slid on "Arriving Now"...

eyinola:
I don learn , thank God

Thumbs up... Hopefully before this week runs out, it should jump back to 90+, and try keeping at that.

Meanwhile, abeg who knows the closest place to the Island where I can do Lasdri?

InfinityEstates:
Trust me, I have "NO NO" places more than you. But rule of the thumb is, always accept ALL trips whether you intend on going on the trip or not. Then call Rider to confirm the destination.

If you can go, proceed to pickup. If you can't, politely tell the rider to cancel and request another ride. My personal line is: "I'm sorry I'm not going towards that direction. Kindly cancel and request another ride." It works most times.

Some would be wise enough to cancel. Wait for some seconds to see if they would. If they don't, slide on "Arriving Now" no matter how far you are. After the waiting period, you can cancel with rider didn't show or phone number not available.

Remember, always ACCEPT all trips.

But then again, what do I know

@eyinola

Waiting period is 5mins till you see Paid Waiting" then you can cancel without it affecting your activity score.

eyinola:
74%

Bros, no vex o, but if you continue with that, you might be blocked sooner than later.

Abeg, I don talk say make you no vex o...

eyinola:
I just they ignore the grin grin

Check your activity, how many percent is it?

eyinola:
ino decline, ask most of them to cancel or I won't confirm the request at all, meanwhile sure request dey yaba covid 19 hospital oooo chaiii, ino sabi road at all for island ooooo

Abeg no vex, kindly explain the bolded. Maybe na strategy wey persin fit use...

eyinola:
I resume my normal working hour today 8am -4pm, I decline so many request ooooo, bolt get customer oooo . The only thing dat pains me is that i couldn't get trip back to mainland, local man blow empty reach house

E dey sweet you abi?

Be careful of declining so many requests o, before... Make I stop there.

pope191:
Those lekki people don't have joy this period, you will b seeing much of 5.00 rating ordering for short distance trip. Yesterday, I was at Badore, Westwood estate precisely, dis request came in from con oil.

Me: where r u going too?
Ride: Westwood estate
Me: Just swim...

Inside my mind, u've seen boat abi or u r mistaking bolt for boat... PU 10 mins, trip 6 mins plus paddling total - #400, can't work.

Na real Boat trip...

Do you know that some drivers do not know how to use their GPS properly? Sometimes, your map will take you through a longer route, when your pickup is actually close by. Sometimes, your gps doesn’t respond (noticed this last week). “In 100 meters, take the ramp on the left”- some people will still pass the ramp. “At the round about, take the 1st,2nd, 3rd, 4th exit”- this one Dey confuse me sometimes sha ���. Once you get your request, take some seconds to study the pickup location before u move. Some times, the pick up is just behind you but Mr google map wants you to make a turn in 600m (it could be because your car was facing the wrong direction as at when the request came in). Also, ask questions when u aren’t sure, it helps.

Have a great day guys.

For the exits at roundabouts, use the 'roundabout image' (the circle and direction to go) to know where to go. If you rely on sound alone, you'll be lost.

For pickups, it should say, go North or South towards a particular street or landmark. Study your position in relation to the map and drive according.

Extra tip: If you are in doubt just drive slowly, if you are in the right direction, the distance towards the next turning would reduce. If not, it would re-route you then you go the opposite direction which should be fine.

my connection is very strong boss

Maybe na your BATTERY...

Just kidding. Try updating your app.

This is exactly what I was thinking while leaving d house this morning, my encounter with d police, like he threatened to lock me up and I must provide the person dat sold d car. I couldn't help but imagine the law backing this, they've seen all the documents and there is no form of discrepancy, what if the seller have travelled or is no longer alive? What becomes my fate? I didn't reply dia ranting tho, but so many ppl r facing wrongful detention in dis country. I don't think there's hope for dis country again.

If you know how many persons are rotting in Ikoyi Prisons and other Prisons in the country because of a crime they know nothing about or a crime they are not involved in, you'll weep for this country.

It's just unfortunate that we have a police system that is non-functional. They are all out to make money for themselves and not for justice.

Last last in this country, if you don't have MONEY or KNOW SOMEONE or KNOW SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMEONE, you are on your own.

las las they collect 5K from me ooooo, they said i was telling the guy to run lol coming out from their gate another trip came in i just drop my rider now at ojota olusosun, another one came in ojota to ikorodu but no exit road from olusosun rider cancelled, e pain me shaa waiting for new order

Don't worry much Bro, you'll be fine. Some times na you go go offline say you no wan work again...

eyinola:
Which kain wahala be dis, so i got activated on bolt yesterday and this morning i got my first trip within my estate to lekki, on our way before berger police stopped me and ask my rider to come down for searching behold my rider took off , ideas shocked now police are dragging me to produce him. Na the station i dey now.i end the trip at 2600..shey na me go pay bolt this gbese ni?

This life sha... Why the guy come run na? And since you were on an online trip, why dem go come hold you?

Try giving them the details of the trip, pickup location and destination plus phone number. But then, Nigerian Police na money dem dey find...

So unto the LG touts.
For ogba axis, they have upgraded to Korope . Since Keke has been banned.

They now use one korope and an unmarked Nissan almera.

So here are the troubled spots where they usually roam

...Wemco road esp. Around the Sunday market.

...odunlami street.by isalu hospital ,( though I had an incident with them early this year and the car dealers around there dealt with them, that's a story for another day.

...Abiodun Jagun street by ogba bus stop.


......Ijaiye road esp. Around the ogba shopping complex. Don't park there or rest for any moment.
.... Ijaiye road around waec n d GIG motors axis.

Note: If you are waiting for someone, ensure these things are done.

1. Clear well to the right side of the road, watch gutter o make you no fall inside.

2. Your windows up, door central locked.

3. Your hazard light is on ( this is very impt), it shows you are not parking,

4. Be alert.... You all know how making money in dis hustle is right now, not all this dashboard nonsense

so don't allow any thieving good for nothing street urchin hiding under the name of the government to fleece you.

Let's keep the flame burning!

It is well, we shall overcome all these...
