You people getting paid well how many heads una get ?? I will put this car for sale


Bleep tinubu

If you believe those deceivers and the figures they are posting here are real. Then I don't know what to tell you..

I also did a research today... Normal 1hr trip on e-hailling app in Benin with bolt is almost 6500 naira.. but I went to a cab stand and ask for the same destination they told me to pay 14,000 Naira. Can you see the difference. It's even better to have few ride than stressing your car for peanuts and in the end of the day , you will not be able to make anything reasonable to take home... All I am soliciting for is an adjustment in price on bolt, Uber and indrive... So that majority of drivers we benefits a lot from partnership with them

2RightHands1Coc:
Took my first trip on indrive today, didn't pay attention to the Map instructions when going to pick up the rider and while dropping off ... burnt fuel like kilode.... The rider was nice but my fuel just dey burn, price on indrive can be ridiculous. Still a novice bit I don't know if I have the willpower to continue yet.... Fuel of 20k no reach anywhere for Meter and it's burning fast. The money I got used it for fuel back ....no gain yet o , trial and error moment ,moment of Truth

Conner44. Monkey!!! Come see another person when dey complain.. since now only you one e-hailling job dey favor..

Hope it's not what I am thinking. Because you are a suspect

Conner44:
Okay you say one shouldn't work hard abi? that they should work SMART oya, can you give us an example of how you want ehailing drivers to work 'smart' ? Just one good example would do

And you say you have other things you do that give you cash flow, i'm sure it's not a 9-5 job because here you are, early on a workday searching for trips to wherever instead of heading to an 'office' so pray tell, what is this other cash flow you maintain that gives you the freedom to drive on very early workday mornings and also have spare time to come here convulsing on our mentions? 🤔

I'm really curious . . .

So I should tell you about my life because of what? Are we related or are you among my close friends

If you can't find ways to better your wretched life by ur self or ask people ahead of you in a polite friendly ways, then continue driving all the days of your life.. for you information I have my own business, got the fund from ( 9-5 job) I only drive weekends when I feel like and it's not compulsory..

Now people like una dey do fastest finger to pick ridiculous ride on indrive BECUs you have no other option..

Conner44:
Why are you calling me an ancient man? How did you find out I am ancient? 🤔 after if I call you a certain troll now the other troll will immediately jump out to defend 'yourselves'

Anyway, depending on your tenacity . . . You might still be complaining like you are currently doing till circa July 2027. Nothing will change for you except for the worse and ehailing will still be a business by then.

So why not give up now and save yourself the headaches down the road? Why do you want us here to give up along with you? Was anyone here connected to your placenta at birth? Why must you choose to drown with a crowd instead of all alone?

Mschew, and you say I'm the selfish one here right?

From your write up now people like you dey always say person need to work hard every day before e fit make am for life..

And you forgot that you only need to work smart to make it in life .

If you think my life depend on only driving for Uber/bolt unlike you.. then you must be foolish.. .. That's why I called you an Ancient man. change your circle it will do you good

Conner44:
On the contrary, what will I gain by gaining your attention?

I'm simply using you as an example of what other's shouldn't become

Shikena!

You forget you are a complete failure. Someone who can decide for himself.. always accepting defeat..

If you think you can compare your self with me then you must be dreaming..

Honestly you are a wicked and unproductive human being who only care about himself. Go to Twitter(X) and Instagram and see a lot of people complaining..

you think say now for nairaland life for end.. ancient man like you..

Conner44:
So what do you want us here to do for you?

This group are for those who are driving in lagos, why not form a group for you and your benin people to be ranting on?

Oh, you want us here to park our vehicles at home and stay idle just because wacko jacko says so? Are you gonna feed our kids for us? Are you gonna give us replacement jobs?

I just dey look you dey laugh keep playing you hear

Where did you notice in my posts I ask any Uber/bolt driver to park their cars.. you too dull honestly, if you can't sense the fight for the betterment of some bolt/Uber drivers who cant make any reasonable daily gains in all my posts because of the ridiculous fares in the app,

Then you lack empathy. And you will remain caged since you have finally decided to become slave forever, who only feed on peanut ...

I will ignore you, you just dey find ways to gain my attention..

See the ridiculous price this morning on bolt. Even Uber price is not too reasonable like that.. and most of the old cargos here that always ambush others from complaining are heartless and self centred..

And those of you saying if it's not favoring you any more why can't you quit.. are very stupid for saying that.. make una dey use ana brain sometimes

This is why Nigeria as a country can't be united

Barbiturate:
People are not factual and truthful here at all. The business is sweet now abi? Ok o! I pray and hope so!

Someone is now looking for 140k for repairs. Maybe he doesn't have a wear/tear account. As long as 20k profit don enter daily...... everywhere don stew!

My brother looking for brain box, God will help you. He's your strength!

With all these ridiculous prices and drivers are rushing them. The same prices when fuel was 585.

I just dey watch sha!

Bn out here since morning. I have not worked. Why? Can't pick these prices with fuel at 1100 and with Camry muscle 09/10. Nah I can't. Bolt isn't even trying too.

It is well.

The kind of trip I've been seeing since morning. Almost an hour for 7k and drivers are rushing it 👇

Almost 1hrs ride for 7000 in ur location u nor happy If u see reach 5500 naira for Benin you go thank God..

How did I start it
Are you sure you quoted the right moniker
House abeg when or how did I disrespect pearl ?

Hmmm be like say na jacksonfire tabi donbrowser tabi omoapena dey behind this provocation make we use wand check am who truly provoke pearl


https://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/cosby_weiner.gif

I started this important discussion And I am delighted a lot of people are contributing to it venting out their frustration. Only a perpetual uneducated fellow who lack exposure will compare e-halling job to 9-5 job.. it's obvious it's lack of well paid job opportunities that made alot of graduates to venture into e-hailling job


If paradventure you are luckily making money from Uber/bolt drive, doesn't give you the temerity to slam others down from complaining

A lot of you here are hypocritical deceivers.. (eg pearls and xghost) you guys are trying to encourage newbies to continue driving every day and not to take bolt/Uber as side hustle.

you know fully well because of economy crisis currently in Nigeria this e-hailling job is not favourable any more.. where as both of you don't drive everyday from the unrealistic figures you guys posted recently.

Deceivers!!!!

raslim20:
My greetings to everyone, please I have a serious question concerning the acceptance rate, it really low and I'm scared of the repercussion, hope the account won't be suspended or won't be able to go online if it reach certain number

I can sense the fear you are going through in ur write up.. even if they decide to suspend your account due to low acceptance rate ( I don't think if it's possible)

I will advice you not to fully depend on bolt/Uber drive, it's not as profitable as you think due to economy crisis currently. Take it as side hustle for now just to survive

The managements of bolt/uber are doing their possible best not to dissipate out of business, that's why they mostly care about passengers (on top high cost of fuel dem still dey give passengers 20 percent bonus for each ride)

Lastly try and learn a profitable skill you can search it online. It will favour you more..

If your car eventually break down due to deterioration and lack of constant maintenance, bros hungry go beat you oo and you go cry tire.. no body go borrow you money for here..

BAZ001:
How will drivers netting 150k weekly apply for job of 200k monthly.

And they think all bolt and Uber drivers can make 150k net weekly..

Dem dey Lagos dey make noise. Make dem go another state go try make that 150k weekly from bolt or uber. If their car nor catch fire

I don't think any of them can boldly beat their chest that they can make 150k every week from bolt or Uber consistently

abiolag:
But if 12k commission is taken from the 50k, u will be left with 13k and not 25k or am I missing something
The bonus is 6k for 9 trips I guess 🤔

Leave that guy make e dey deceived himself..

now vip Uber/bolt driver e nor dey pay for commission...

Heheheheheheheh

I think that guy failed mathematics in WEAC!!! Dullard .


E-hailling business is dieing gradually. No matter how hard you hustle u can never make profit as before. Stop giving new drivers hope with that figures you achieved daily... Ur strategies might not work for other drivers in lagos.. (me and you know say u get another means when u take dey survive)!!!!

You can never achieved that figures in Edo state or even other states.. because of difference in bolt/uber fares..

imagine 40-45mins bolt drive for 6200 naira. After removing bolt commission and fuel money... How much profit will u gain from this?

When you car calls for major maintenance after deterioration without having any other side hustles to foot the bills. You go cry tire!!!!!

XGhost:
I can only speak to my experience driving on Uber alone and driving in LAGOS.

My goal daily is 25k net.
I start early between 5.30am and 6am
I live on the island so I maximize the morning office runs. If I'm lucky I get surge trips but I really don't chase those.
My goal is turnover to make profit so I don't do long trips. Also because I chase bonuses I mix my trips.
I run lekki VI back and forth repeatedly. Doing this also reduces down time and mental fatigue which I think is part of what a lot of drivers complaining here experience. By midday when requests have reduced I can now start doing long trips. By this time traffic to and from the mainland would have nearly disappeared too so it pays me.
By 12, I'd have done between 25 and 35k depending on how hot the hand is. Bear in mind my gross target is 50k (fuel 20, feeding and misc. 5k, take home 25k)
With fuel at 1k however this will have to change but I've only driven a few days since the latest increase so I really can't say for now.
Bonuses also work for me and I try not to miss them. I typically get 80k to 120k in bonuses weekly. I use it to augment any shortfalls.
As long as there are riders and requests I think it'll pay. The margins may have shrunk but it'll even out in the end in my opinion.

I will address this later . I am not surprised!!!!! interesting..

2RightHands1Coc:
Seriously guys making Good money through E hailing should share more ideas

I done dey discourage sef

I will say something meaningful about this later.

Just observing........

dav1002:
😂
In as much as this your write up is painful to read yet it's damn funny

Na bolt make you dey drop psalms

It is well

U nor see say u nor get sense.. owukhor. See your mumu response. Person dey complain you dey laff. Madman

dav1002:
You didn't ask for my opinion yet you dey post complain left right centre


Like I said your disjointed grammar dey give person headache

Sha remember that The fool who knows his foolishness, is wise at least so far. But a fool who thinks himself wise, he is called a fool indeed

Guy go baff. Smelling owukhor!!! I am delighted someone has explained the kind of GOAT you are.. U nor dey make any sense again..

Sirchiboy:
I give up on uber

Crying 😭.
I can't continue

I have been buying fuel 20k and yet can't even have gain of 1 naira to buy pure water.
How can I make it when I keep receiving 1400, 2000 ride.
The highest ride is 3k..you will use about 2 to 3 liters of fuel for a journey of 12km and at the end of the ride uber will show 2500.
God help me.
I really pity married people .
Father please show me mercy.
Father
I am the little boy who Is struggling to make a living out of this but it seems hard.
Father
I have no one except you.
Please come through for me.
Tomorrow may never come through.
Father don't let the world to mock at me and say where is your God you have been bragging of.
Father open way for me.
Father the time has come

My candid advice for you.. this is what I have been venting out since one month lately . With no reasonable response only insults from heartless and I don't care people here.. Uber fares is even better compared to bolt..

Don't fully depend on bolt and Uber as your major source of income, because you go cry tire.. when ur car calls for major maintenance after deterioration , no body is going to lend you money since u ain't profiting from it..

Take bolt and Uber drive as partime job when you finally get a well paid job or better still learn a profitable skill.

dav1002:
So how has ranting here and insulting Uberbolt drivers in Lagos helped to increase the fares in edo?

How has typing lot of disjointed oluwole statement on a faceless forum helped increase the Uberbolt fares in edo

You reason like a goat

I just want to assume all these your shenanigans is just for publicity

You forget say now u be the biggest he goat for here... Owukhor!!!!. ( Native circumcised Benin smelling he goat) go ask people how the goat be... Fool....

Did I seek for ur useless opinion in the first place?? If this platform is faceless. And cant yield any positive outcome for anyone..Why you and your gay partner (pearls) they always form shit for here?? As if you guys are above every one.

Guy get lost!!!. You think you can silent me like others..

Make thunder strick you and ur entire generation and the unborn..

you toothless tamed bulldog !!!

Barbiturate:
No one is attacking you because you're saying the truth. Everyone knows that the prices are low in Edo. Is there anything we can do here....NOTHING! Channel this anger towards sending series of mails to bolt and also inform the Edo drivers you know to do same.
It is not that hard bro.

I think the other 2 guys are trying to correct your grammatical errors. It still doesn't mean that you're not educated. You should also proofread before sending. No one is above correction. No one knows it all.

And you think I haven't send countless mails to bolt?? Hope you ain't also daft like others assailing my post?? I only vented out for other people to assist on nairaland if possible. So what I did was wrong?? Guy stay one place and be neutral if not u fit still collect...

[quote author=Pearl1910 post=132522993]Never argue with a fool, he will bring you down to his level and beat you with his experience.

Only an insecure, low self esteem nitwit will try to bamboozle people with vocabulary that doesn't sync. I wonder how he imagines people on this platform. May I inform you Jacksonofabitch, that most men on this platform (with exception of a few like u offcourse) are esteemed, well educated, analytical and enlightened people. Sorry to break it to you, everybody sees u as the lowlife that u are. You have little or nothing to ur name, gutter manners and zero character.
Far be it if u find me quoting u, or exchanging words with u again. I just had to put this on record so u stop feeling whatever u feel of yourself.
When u are done reading this, I will advise you start thinking of how to solve your life problems and stop barking at people and whining like a rabid dog online.

Coward!!!!!! I be think say u nor go bark again... Keep this advice for ur unborn kids not me.. BECUs u aint the one feeding me.. and I am doing perfectly well for my self. I don't kiss ass like you or worship people just to remain relevant.. I still stand my ground bolt managements need to increase fare price in Benin..

[quote author=vivalavida post=132522910]I am not the cause of your frustration. Direct it to bolt, Tinubu or that his representative here.
I hav nothing to say about the image you posted. If bolt driving is not working for you in benin city, relocate and do it somewhere else. If you can't relocate, sell your car and dabble into another business.Your destiny and placenta is not tied to bolt driving in benin city. Making noise and cursing out everyone with your bad written English on nairaland ain't changing anything about the low fees in benin

U NOR really GET SENSE!!!!!!!! If you already concluded u don't have anything to say about the images I posted as evidence. To let everyone knows majority of bolt drivers in Benin ain't earning profit currently. But rather doing charity work for bolt...

Barbiturate:
Calm down bro. You're getting worked up over nothing!

FYI, 40 isn't old cargo. Life they say, begins at 40! I'm in my 40's and I'm not old. I'm very young and full of life.

Someone opted to accommodate you if you decide to come hustle in Lagos. You said it's not for you. That means you're not driving on any platform.....you probably have a job or a biz. IMO, you shouldn't be crying more than the bereaved.

Chill and take it easy bro. It isn't that hard! You can't be attacking everybody

I only assail those who always criticize my posts without finding out if I am saying the truth or not..

vivalavida:
In the mud and not to the mud.
Impacting meaningful not just meaning.
If I mark a script written by you, your grammatical errors and disjointed English will make you fail woefully.

If you have common sense , you will stop fooling ur self around.. and you can't stop me from kvetching.(complain persistently). That's the meaning. Because I know say u nor finish secondary school. Blocked head!! .

I am not the only one who need bolt fare upgrade in Benin city and other states..

It's obvious Your sense of reasoning has already left you behind. Since it's difficult for you to support this movement...



What do you have to say about the difference in price Olodo!!!!!!!

pope191:
It’s Nah not Now. If you won yarn pigin, yarn em well.

If you (wan) not won yarn (pidgin) not pigin..

Respect your self. No body is perfect bros

vivalavida:
Simple and not simply.
Your use of words is atrocious.

Now typographical error dis one dey correct . Hehehehhe.. I don give you work.. lazy thing.. don't make your self useful positively. Old cargo at 40!! I will keep dragging fools like you to the mud, who only care about themselves and not impacting meaning things to the society...

dav1002:
Glory of what exactly

Glory of wailing daily and complaining about the hustle?
Glory of constructing disjointed beer parlour sentences?

You and Felicity, same category 🙄
Reading una sentences dey give person headache

Be like na university of nekede you go

I wonder if you even attended any university at all... If paradventure luckily you have any certificate or credentials I will advice you to sell it to a road side corn/bole seller close to ur location. It will be more useful there. It's obvious your glued cracked skull , is only full of termites faeces, thats why you don't know ur left from your right.. can't you see you are the only one fooling ur self here?? ! I will ignore you to wallow in pains and hatred towards your lineages not me.. move ahead failure!!!

Omoapena:
@jacksonfire, If you ever consider coming to Lagos to hustle, I will be willing to accommodate you pending when you will get your own space...

This, I can do to assist a brother.

I am doing well in Benin bro.. thanks for the offer.. just speaking for my fellow Edo brothers who can't vent out

dieing silently , doing charity work for bolt because of poor bolt fares. Imagine going to work, then coming back without any profit or even getting back ur fuel money??

70 percents of bolt drivers here can't even maintain their cars. (Just Do some findings)

A lot of them sleep inside their cars overnight till the next morning just to meet target.

I am only asking if bolt fares can be increased at least.. even if it's 20-25mins drive for 5000 naira

Most of you think bolt agents doesn't visit this trend.. the last time I ask for (bolt airport) option under categories in benin . It was implemented within one month

2RightHands1Coc:
Mr jack ,calm down. This thing dey pain you ,I think I understand where you are coming from now . Calm down bro

Hmmm..

dav1002:
Formatted vehemently without great feelings doesn't mean sh*t bro

Even with your tacky use of big grammar, you still don't know when to use present, past and future tense

Looks like you sat down with a torn dictionary while trying to compose this jargon

It makes English language distasteful

Tueh

Another blocked headed uneducated Gaylord companion... Trying to use my glory to stay relevant in this trend . Guy get lost. If u don't understand simply vocabularies... You need to go back to school and study hard . Your IQ is already 5/100.

Another intellectual disability patient.

vivalavida:
You just dey join big English words that have no context together to sound grandiloquent. What does formatted vehemently without great feelings mean? It does not mean shit bro. Been observing all the jargons you are throwing around the place. You can pass your message in simple English that anyone can understand. Not trying to sound well read by using big words that have no meaning together to pass a simple message.

You Blocked headed one eyed gaylord apprentice. U nor see say now only u one nor fit decipher my lexicons. Monkey.. try dey always oil ur brain with books to understand and think expeditiously.

Don't ever reply my post again if it's always difficult for you to comprehend simply English..

XGhost:
If only English was the SI unit for intelligence

Bro just a friendly reminder. Your IQ is outdated and it need to be formated vehemently without great feelings. It's obvious you lack parental care and brotherly love. If not you will not reply which such comment. Because I know you are trying to cut through corners just to reply me indirectly out of distressed and dismay ... Be bold enough to tagged me next time...

dapotemi:
Lol, to be honest I sympathize with u...There are many factors that must be ticked b4 prices can be increase...You are only concentrating on just one factor, that is the major determinant of our operation, FUEL!
RIDER are the most important factor in this biz, if there are no passenger, every one of us, you and I, the coy, the app, everyone is just wasting his time..
Every other factor can, perhaps be substituted..Yes, driver can be substituted! But you see rider, everyone needs them.
Before u increase price, you must consider the people that will PURCHASE/BUY that products or services..Once it's beyond their reach, then there is problem..I am not in Benin, you know d demographics better than I do. Can Edolite afford 6k for a 20 mins ride consistently? Be honest with us.
Why I want a better package for you all over there, the app guys also need to balance things at d other end ..But ehailing shouldn't be too cheap that driver won't make any profit at all, as you've posited here, if it's true o.
Like PBAT reform, I'll always tell people in my circle that there is no reform that should make ur people go to bed hungry! That is what FG is doing now.

Why do you think passengers in Edo state can't afford 6000 naira for 20mins ride Bolt ride shouldn't be for every body. Those that can afford the price will surely patronize bolt. Imagine Buying fuel for 1250 naira per ltr.. then accepting 20mins ride for 3200 minus bolt commission. How do you expect drivers in Benin to gain from this??
