Are you still thinking or you know.
Anyway, has your post changed the fact or the the points I made? Have you provided more info, or shed more light to the original question?? If not then I just wish I had an appropriate meme for u cos I don't know what to say.

I don't just get it when someone reads a post only to look for what to demerit, discredit or debase rather than the overall message the person is trying to convey. This is always d basis of derailment, out of point arguments and quarrels that lead to insults...I will not be party to that.

But let me educate you, whether Warts uses his Lexus hybrid for Uber or not, hybrids are generally very good for transportation because of the fuel economy, u may not know but fuel is d biggest and number 1 cost in this business. Albeit there are other factors and why it may not be advisable is another story but that doesn't change the fact that a Lexus Hybrid is a good car for e-hailing.

[color=royalblue]I stand to be corrected. Hybrids are not a good car for ehailing in Lagos

Please don't misinform people abeg. The simple reason is because there are very few technicians that can handle it.

Cars are machines and their efficiency is below a 100%. If your hybrid car stops at Alakuko, or a bus stop at Shangisha, are you advising the driver to just call anyone to look at it?

And please stop talking about fuel. The number cost in this business is maintenance.

I can net 20k driving on batteries alone, and a bad shock absorber would take it all away[/color]

[color=royalblue]It is only in Lagos that people think it's smart to jump out of a moving bus.

I once got to Old park in Enugu by 10:45pm, and the whole area was deserted.
I have gotten to Ojota by 12:30am and I still bought Gala and Smoov to eat

Lagos is a very crazy place. [/color]

It is quite startling

kanuisagoat:
This is one thing I detest about people and I wonder if its perculiar to us Nigerians. I call it the "entitlement mentality."

Why do we always think someone owes us something. Please get this into your skull, no one owes you a 5 star rating. Those drivers I gave 4 stars should thank their stars I'm actually very considerate. Else, I would have given them a single star for risking my life. Its people like you who who throw all forms of dignity and self respect out of the window begging riders for 5 star as if their lives depend on bolt.

I have never in my life and will never ever beg or tell a rider to rate me 5 stars. I have rendered a service to you, there's a question before you asking how my service was, I expect you to answer it as truthfully as you can.

If bolt blocks me today, I'll move on with my life, I will even find something better to do with the time I spend on bolt but people like you have lost all forms of self worth. Once bolt blocks you, its the end of the world for you.

Now to point out how foolish and self centered you are, why do we depend on reviews of products before we buy?

Let's assume everyone who complained about oil consumption of 2007 totoya camry did not do that because they don't want to put toyota out of business, how will intending buyers know how to guard against it?

The annoying part of all this is that, I was only pointing out to pope why you can have a smooth conversation with a rider and he'll still give you a bad rating but you had to just carry your winter induced frustration to attack my innocent post.

Nonsense.

[color=royalblue]Apart from the insults in your comment, I liked and shared your post.

I also owe you a bottle of Heineken and a plate of peppersoup

Whenever you are in Festac and need to relax, quote me here. I'll come find you.

If I'm not closeby, I'll direct you to a bar. They'll give you two bottles of Heineken and peppersoup. The bills are on me

Silly question you couldn't answer until saved you from your misery

[color=royalblue]Leave that one abeg.

No one is justifying Trump's tweets. We are just talking about the consequences of our silence

Twitter banned Trump, but whether you like it or not, they have humiliated a sitting president of the USA.

It could be your favourite celebrity tomorrow. It could be anybody. It could be someone speaking against their privacy laws. But then, if they can humiliate a sitting president of the USA, who you (in Odumeje's voice)?

Like I said, we would have this conversation again, and it definitely won't be Trump in the centre[/color]

iamJ:
it's his company

If seuun doesn't want someone here, he can force you out


Its a company with owners and they have the right to do as they please


If you aren't comfortable, create your own billion dollar idea and become his rival


If any company deserves scrutiny it's facebook, twitter is a very decent company

[color=royalblue]I thought I was done with our discussion

Any new insights I should be aware of?[/color]

nihilistjnr:
Whilst your reason aligns with Twitter today, it might not align tommorow, but by then it's too late as the precedent has already been set.

They will hide behind the 'rules' and remind you that they actually banned a sitting US president.

[color=royalblue]The big problem that nobody is seeing.

If someone is banning a sitting US president, I wonder how you want to control that person in the future.

Before you go tackle am sef, Jack don delete your account [/color]

iamJ:
guy when it comes to certain topics, forget I know my pot of soup

You called subreddits forums and you are calling me an assumer

[color=royalblue]Okay. I don hear [/color]

iamJ:
Those companies are banning anything trump on their platform because he uses those platform via his supporters to mislead others and they congregate on those platforms

You are asking me a silly question, does the heat from
north pole of the sun have to reach earth before you know that there is heat there?

They are banning anything trump, same way they ban anybody that uses their platform to promote propaganda

What kind of silly question is what is trump's offense?

There are many subreddits that are used for propaganda purposes but when it gets too toxic, it's taken down

These companies have been ignoring trump's activites for years

Joe Rogan recently hosted alex jones, spotify had serious issues with him over that, if seuun allows a group of people to use this platform to try to overthrow a government by spreading lies, after the individuals have been handled, government will turn their attention to seuun


Trump was banned on a social site doesn't mean that he owns an account, it means trump related activities are banned

[color=royalblue]You are just talking and assuming and ....I don't know

You can go to bed now. You did not have any point from the beginning[/color]

nihilistjnr:
Basically if Jack Dorsey wakes up tommorow and is annoyed by any world leader, he can just delete their account.

If he disagrees with the opinion of anyone in opposition, poof they're gone.

The new world order might just be here already.

[color=royalblue]I don't even like Trump, but the way these guys have acted is shocking

Na Jack emotions we go use take dey know who dey right or wrong

A lot of people including celebrities incited violence during the EndSars protests on Twitter. I did not see Jack flagging accounts.

It definitely was freedom of speech then.

Make we dey watch. This conversation will definitely come up again[/color]

[color=royalblue]I asked you to show me the rule Donald Trump violated on Reddit, and you showed me where Reddit banned a forum with thousands of Trump supporters

You really need to understand a discourse, before you jump into it.

No be everything you go just open mouth waaaaa

Hope you understand?[/color]

runtime:
You suppose understand that everybody sha wan catch cruise, They need to stay relevant i am sure trump is not active on these applications Pornhub, Reddit, Spotify and others except maybe Twitter and Facebook.

Even Mallam Mumuric sef talk say make Bubu place travel ban on top Trump .

[color=royalblue]They are catching cruise with Trump, and nobody is talking, and that's what I find surprising.

I know that this would repeat itself somehow, someday in the future.

Na from Friday dem dey take know how weekend go be[/color]

iamJ:
you don't use those services

Reddit? Trump has done more damage on reddit than on facebook self

I use reddit alot

[color=royalblue] Simple question, and you keep riding around the roundabout

What did Trump violate on Spotify or Pinterest or Reddit?

Abi you wan talk this night?[/color]

iamJ:
he has been promoting fake news on those platforms and they have been lenient, they all decided to speak in one voice


Americans speak against such behavior in one voice, they have been doing it for centuries, companies, pga organizers, even brands are cutting trump off

But it's only social media companies that you want to focus on


I'm looking at a trailer of rice, you are looking at a few grains

[color=royalblue]You haven't answered my question

What rule did Trump violate on Spotify, Pinterest, and Reddit?

Like I said, you just like to jump into discuss without understanding what's on the table.[/color]

iamJ:
read that last year, rules like that will kick out people like trump and his gang

Twitter has been very lenient, do you listen to joe rogan's podcast? He had jack dorsey on one time and jack explained that those far right guys violate basic rules, he even tries to be as lenient as possible with them but they create new ways to break the rules further

U are staying in a private estate with security and all and you see some huligans, wouldn't you call security to remove them? Why should social media be different?


If you want freedom, load up tails on flash drive and dive into the dark web, nobody cares if you think that the queen is a lizard there

[color=royalblue]So what basic rule did Trump violate on Shopify, Spotify, Pinterest, Reddit and others?

You really don't like to understand someone's point before you dive into the discussion[/color]

Bolt account for sale... No scam.

Reason for sale:: sold my car and venturing into something else. uber sef dey but cause of verification people say they don't buy

[color=royalblue]Then move on entirely. Why do you have to compromise your personal details and License because of few bucks?

Times are dark oh.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Pope191, go to the front page and mail the Supermods

They would unban you[/color]

pope191:
Boss I completely go with you points, but I feel one of our major problem is awareness and mindset, barely anyone I share oil matter with, doesn't go with my point of view (they just laff it off ).I remember this woman that came to buy Dextron 2 while at the filling station, the fact that she was trying to get 2 litres drew my attention and the "Amebo" in me was force to ask her, hope she's not trying to top over used oil? There goes the story... ehn! It's my late husband that used to get all these things. So I asked, what brand of oil do you have in the car before? I don't even know. Make of car? Toyota Camry. Madam take that car to an expert and let them do their work, but be ready to cough out 16k for oil at least... she looked at me with a straight eyes, like 16k for oil? Do I even know what am saying well! I've passed my service to humanity to her, the rest is her own cross to carry. I use the conventional oil on my car for now, and it is plainly due to ignorance. When God bless me with another, I obviously won't be trying that.

On issue of fake products, I won't patronise anyone that uses fake stuff to fix car for me, even if it is due to my ignorance, you should be able to convince me. My mech like a brother knows that and they are things he doesn't do... he won't hit the 3k5 hub for clients, he tells them to seek elsewhere. My first mech will change pad and all the rims will b so dusty after a day drive, the noise when steping on break makes me sick. I feel some folks are willing to buy original, but trusting the system is another thing. I once bought a kick for 13k, just to find out it is 8k elsewhere. Cheat hurts, but I let go of 5, 6k as long as you are giving me something that worth it. All in all, I'm not really into perception, just do what works for you and the brand you want to be known for.

[color=royalblue]Yeah, that's true. I would never advice anyone to use fake parts on a car. But the whole discussion is about Chinese parts dominating the original, and it's largely because of our economic predicament

I remember when GIGM rebranded. They were using Toyota Hiace and Mercedes Sprinter buses. Today, na China bus full their park.

Haulage companies used to use Man, Iveco and Scania (Brand new). Today, they all have Howo, Shacman and Jac in their fleet.

If Uber drivers buy only Original parts for their vehicles, a lot of us would drop this hustle because it wouldn't be worth it.

An original Goodyear tyre is about #40000 in the US (excluding shipping). Imagine buying four and then one gets damaged because of bad roads.....

Nigeria problem follow for why people dey choose China everyday[/color]

radautoworks:
And this point is exactly why I stopped harping on the actual parts themselves and started focusing more on diagnosis, education and repair. I now advice customers who can't afford our parts (especially since the inflation has priced a lot of them out) to get their own parts once we diagnose and we do the repair for them or go elsewhere. At least they know what is wrong with the car.

The economic climate forces one's hand so if it means "China part" is all the customer can afford then let us at least make sure they are getting the right part. Does it affect our numbers, yes a little but that was never the point. An overhaul of this industry was.

[color=royalblue]The economic climate really forces one's hand in this country, and that's why we have "China parts" littered everywhere.

[/color]

pope191:
Lol Sure I know China makes durable stuffs, but it seems most of the fake products are based on demand.

I don't know much about China, but I think it's best to go complete your mission and leave. Living in a communist country like China can be something else, they regulate almost everything there.

[color=royalblue] Nigeria is a poor country, and most of its population would pick affordability first, before durability

Check the price for brake pads in the USA. I'm very sure that almost everybody here would prefer to pay the normal #2500 to #3000 than spend $29 or $55 (excluding shipping) for it.

I remember a particular part I had for sale. I had the original (someone brought it from Germany) and I had the China own.

The original was #20,000 while the Chinese was #7,000. In the past four months, I have sold the Chinese version back to back, but only one man bought the original (after much convincing)

Imagine if I decided to make my livelihood on only selling that original part. I'm sure I'll be in my village now

You're right about having fake parts though[/color]

[color=royalblue]

My chest

So sorry for your ordeal. But next time, always have the courage to make enquiries. Nobody go bite you

You should have asked him how much a particular size of cup cost. [/color]

[color=royalblue]Pope191,

Because something is made in China, doesn't make it fake...
