pope191:


The C.P is a very stupid man, sense is far from him. In line with what the estate management said, even if they have to wait for feedback from the security men. They didn't stop him, they were only trying to give him directions and voom as per the first estate the C.P is entring since he resumed office, he decide to test power.

I dont know where you read that they didn't give him access . He was just power drunk and on arrest rampage.

If you believe they were trying to give him direction despite your own experiences with those estate security men then you can believe anything.

I will put most of the blame on the guest. He was supposed to have informed the security men ahead of his arrival.

If he did and the security men still decided to be unfortunate, they deserve everything that happened to them

dru23:



You should mention names o ...... And if you can't mention names . It means you not sure if it was the oil or your engine packed up ..........

Like I said to Felicity001, people deserve a second chance.

Felicity0001:


Pls mention his name to save others from falling into the pothole

I believe people deserve a second chance. I want to believe he genuinely did not know the oil was fake.

I have called his attention to it privately. I expect him to look into his supply chain to understand why that happened and to prevent it in the future.

Gentlelife50:

Those guys are very useless and hopeless, they will want to sweet tongue you to work on engine and gear when they know the possibility of it not working is there.
I always advocate for changing of worn out parts and have peace, though the issue have always been how to get original parts.

He even told him not to pay till he confirms that the gear has been fixed. He "fixed" the gear, it was test driven and everything seemed to be fine and he was paid.

Less than a week later the gear packed up on his way to Benin despite not going above 80km/hr as advised by the "gear specialist"

komodapson:


Omo!!! Reasoning too full your head....I thought about this, all these foreign brands of items...whenever they come into country they ain't the same standard bro....so why waste your money...na just trademark dem dey sell...I'll rather go with this piece of advise

He who has an ear let him hear. If you have a trusted source for Mobil 1, by all means buy. If you can't get from a trusted source, its better to buy original 20w50.

I almost destroyed my engine because I bought fake synthetic oil from a so called trusted seller on nairaland.

Felicity0001:


I would rather be using the NorthWest synthetic oil 5W30 then... Its only 14k for 4ltrs than use 20W50 that oil killed my Honda engine and made it smoke b4 I sold it out though the smoke was not noticeable.

Fort Oil sells Castro and I've a genuine plug for Liquidmolly directly from Germany but the cost is my major concern.

I'm seriously considering giving the NorthWest a try.

Thanks for your opinion tho

The 20w50 did not kill your engine. Your delayed oil changes did. Go and see how clean the engine of people using 20w50 is. All they did was change the oil regularly.

IFSHR:


What car type and model .

I experienced it with Honda CRV and on the long run I had to buy a new gear, kindly don't drive it so that if what spoilt inside is salvageable, so you will not have to buy a new gear, mine is just exactly as you explained yours..

As a first aid approach, drain the current oil when the car is warm and replace with a recommended one (when the car is warm as well). If that solves it ...great ( if not, try the next)

If your gear uses a solenoid cable, get a very good gear rewire tech to check if any is bad, the solenoid is on the gear and it has like up to 3 in some gears, it controls the drive, reverse and some other component.

Caution: if any of the above didn't solve the gear issue, please my brother I know it's hard, don't go for a rebuild gear, they will sing to you that can rebuild or repair it...the repair is just like changing a cloth drained by rain to a dry one just to enter same rain again.

Ensure anything you are doing, it must be done when the gear is warm not hot, becaus in its current state it will easily burn all internal component of the gear.

I wish I saw this on time. My friend spent N180000 to fix his RX350 transmission. It all went down the drain. He's now looking for 500k to buy a Tokunbo.

..

Felicity0001:
Pls who has genuine and regular plug for the following oil and prices I'm looking at having a change of oil for my car the mobile 1 is getting too expensive and i need to look for a cheaper alternative that's also very good


1) Castrol GTX Magnatec Full Synthetic Oil

2)Royal Purple High Performance Synthetic Oil

3)Shell RotellaT6 Full Synthetic Diesel Oil

4) Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic Motor Oil

5) Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil

6) Castrol Edge Advanced Full Synthetic Motor Oil

7) Valvoline High Mileage with MaxLife Technology Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

The No.1 on the list is what I'm actually considering due to its magnetic xteristics during cold start or warm up. Though all of them are good products so I'll be going for the one with the best price because I'm a business man no time for sentiment now.

Pls if anyone has a good and genuine plug kindly avail me their contact need to service my car latest this week @6k miles.

Lastly, what do you guys think abiut the Castro sold by FortOil filling stations is it the same as the one produce abroad or made for Nigeria market?

Unpopular opinion. Just buy 20w50 from a reliable Mobil station and change religiously every 3000 miles.

Better to use original Mobil 20w50 that you change frequently than buy fake penzoil or whatever that you'll keep in your engine for long because you thought you got an original

dru23:



We do have multiple buyers for each vehicles and sometimes we dont. And if we don't we sell the cars when it gets to LAGOS.. I try to buy the cars low as possible . This is why I prefer buying from private sellers .......
And to put it out there. The profit margin on cars are very low .Some of these guys are making 50k 100k or some are getting just their capital, and some are 3rd party car dealers. Someone will bring a car today to sell. They fix it up etc and than sell on behalf of their client . we have many of them on nairaland and all over LAGOS. The exchange rate is not helping at all . As of today Dec 28th 2021 buying dollar is 565
and selling is 558. ..........

But in my own case , I load containers and I can't just load without filling it with cars. The cars are used to offset the container goods. So whether person put deposit or not . I go buy and load inside container. And cars I look for are not that rare .... I usually buy the following types of cars.......

1. Hyundai elantra
2. Volvo Xc90
3. Hyundai vearcruz
4. Camry and Toyota if the price is right for container loading...
5. Toyota sienna.

There is nothing rare about this vehicles. And I was thinking of buying a ford edge(pic below) . but the deal didn't go through ... And I have never had issues selling this cars at all . The most important thing is to buy them cheap enough. And most times I do come across very good deals.

I'll chat you on WhatsApp

dru23:



I either get a call or email and asking more infor about the car . I than send more detail videos to all the prospective buyers.......

Some will show interest and be willing to put down deposit for the car. And we ask them each how much are the willing to put down. So we than look for the highest person, this shows high probability rate the person will buy it . once we confirm an alert we seal the deal .........

Once the vehicle is almost getting to LAGOS , we let the person know . And once he sees the vehicle and satisfy . He has 5 business days to make remaining balance

This is clear now. Thanks.

This model assumes there will always be multiple buyers for every vehicle.

What if the vehicle the person want to buy is rare and he's the only one interested in it. How do you determine the amount of deposit to take

dru23:


When it comes to cars it's a bit difference .. We look for the highest person with a deposit.. We than do a detail video of the car and send it to the person.

Can you explain this part in bold. Not very clear

dru23:


The ones that can drive dey drive 24/7 .. But Person wey no sabi drive is their Oga controlling them ......

You see , this life no wan balance..........by the way we are loading a container this January. So pre order your items and pay 30% deposit of total cost.....


We don't want to chase you up and down when goods arrive.. We dey enter 2022 with more sense ...

Does this 30% deposit include vehicle purchase

ReadaDream:
Another werey..

Hahaha, you two are a match made in heaven

Out of curiosity, did anything come from Bolt as a result of him reporting you?

BAZ001:


Na so I see am but I will watch till afternoon Na dat time e dey block. Unless lagosians don buy everything yesterday and decided not to go out again.

Main while kanuisagoat and Morax101 says we should save our money with bolt over the weekend. I will try and save 5k with dem just incase bolt goes on public too

5k? You try

This is what I'm leaving with bolt for the weekend

BAZ001:


A request on 1.9 was tempting me to isheri Idimu but I rebuked d devil in dt request.
How will I go to igando or abule egba, Iyana ipaja , akute and all outskirts when everywhere is red.

I will do half day tomorrow too and close till 27th I’m done pursuing 1MILLION when my mates are lounging, kill goats and chickens merrying and inviting for party’s.

I will be selfish with time ; I will party now and work later

You no go kill person with laugh

BAZ001:


Tualeee for una
Kanuisagoat 20k , You 40k others 15k
All my days of ehailing put together
There is no time that I have paid bolt more than 7k at a go.
make una show me strategies una go dey form telegram group is closed.
God dey ooh

How much I net wey I go give bolt 40k for friday ?
from where naah ?

That's why I said most drivers don't get the fact that it's still their money

Even if you have to borrow money to pay on Friday, whatever is left after commission will be returned to you on Monday

childofgrace2k:
I dont know which Language to tell you guys that it doesn't work with everyone, I have paid in 3,500 since last week Friday and till now it has not reflected. I have communicated with them, sent reference number and sender's name and yet they have not done anything.

So with this experience, do u think I will be encouraged to make payments of bigger amount to bolt next time?

All these ones are excuses.

If you have ever worked in an environment with a lot of pressure and deadlines you will know that no one cares about the challenges you have. Just get the job done or you're out.


If you paid and is not reflecting, others are paying and theirs is reflecting. Find out what they are doing differently.

If you are serious about working on weekends, do whatever you have to do to make sure you work.

Ghost1994:
What the fvck wrong with guys at the MM2?

Y’all be gisting shit and setting only island trip like mehn it’s sick….

I got to mm2 I saw request Surulere rider said he’s waiting at the car lot… fine I zoom c1…

I picked the guy and the guy narrated to me that he’s going to show the last bolt guy and teach him a lesson…

I was like boss what’s the problem?? He said he requested bolt and saw 1.9 which is fine by him and the fee is like 4,700 to 5,500… he called the guy and calling his name and told him he’s at the park… could you believe this guy told him straight that he’s going to collect 7k offline…. What

He said he told him he’s also a bolt guy but the guy no send…

Well I calm the guy down but to be honest this is sickening…. I did same trip and took airport oshodi which sum up to 6500! so these people are just painting themselves bad…

Like if the guy complains to bolt it’s automatic block I mean it’s not right now

Didn't Felicity just come up with a new account? What did Bolt do? They rewarded him N25000 bonus for getting blocked. Me self no go mind getting blocked

Summary is nobody send Bolt block again

ReadaDream:


It's mostly greediness. I have met a lot of drivers that said they will never send money to bolt. I wonder why.

I know someone that sent in 30k. No time for stories. It's still your money

From what I've noticed, most drivers find it difficult to grasp this

chillex8:

Wetin una dey talk?
I loaded 3k, 5k, 2k3, 6h between last Monday and Friday.
None was updated until Saturday. Just 5k was updated.
The whereabouts of the balance 5k9 is unknown till this moment.

Several back and forth mails to no avail. Dumped the damned app till my money returns.

I don't have issues with payments so I can't speak on this. Once I pay, it reflects under 30 minutes. I pay with First Bank.

ReadaDream:
Any serious business person should know this. I sent in 15k on Friday.

I simply set a reminder for 2pm so I don't forget, immediately the alarm went off. I paid in. Meanwhile I was on a card trip as then that ended 7900 that didn't stop me from putting in the 15k.

Sent in a total of 20k on Friday. First 15k and another 5k.

I had N27000 to work with (20k I paid+owing them 7k before restriction).

I would have to gross a total of 136k on Saturday and Sunday for me to be restricted which I knew was not possible.

If you're serious and ready to work you should pay in sufficient money on Friday.

tunlapapa:
Who else noticed that the traffic is light today being Monday.
Seems many travellers have gone out of lagos.

Schools are going on holidays. Traffic usually reduces when schools close. I first noticed it long ago when I was in secondary school and its still like that today.

chillex8:

Enjoy your new car.
Don't expect to earn any dime driving a v6 on ehailing. Especially in winter months.

2.0L 4-cylinder is preferable.

Haba

It is not that bad.

Felicity0001:


In fact the story self get as e be... He complained of low fare, and charge differently(offline) or what? she tried to cancelled, how? After the trip has been completed or b4 starting the trip or could it ne be that the lady refused to pay the fare or agreed sum? I don't gerit! I should forget abourit? How did the insult get to that extent that blood come involve?

Abeg those 2 should tell us something else pls.

This us definitely not adding up at all

Thats what we call cock and bull story. If anyone reads that thing and it made any sense to them, something is wrong upstairs.

BAZ001:


I never reach 1M but kanuisagoat and ghost done hit 1M.

See me see trouble early morning. On my quest to 1M...
I set destination to lekki bolt no give me , immediately I remove destination them give me ago palace. Why ?
Rider asked stupid question as usual, but I ignored since it’s early morning.
Next time I will swipe arrive and not reply or pick call.
She or he telling me to cancel, wasting my time and early morning 1.9 surge.

We working like ant now to save for winter... ur body needs only 7hrs sleep now it’s 4hours

1M since when? Almost at 5M now

tunlapapa:


All these for a driving job?

Now I see how truly some drivers believe this is the best work to happen to them.

He can do that or keep waiting at home looking for a vehicle.

I got my first job, a N40,000 monthly salary job in Elf Lekki by doing something very similar to what Northbird advised and I was living in Iyana-Ipaja at the time.

The ball is in his court. He has gotten the best advice anyone will ever give him.

olukaygold:

On another angle...thanks so much for your inputs. But pls,I'm new here in abj,im wondering how I can cope/ know all these unknown locations the riders might be heading to

Don't worry. Google map helps a lot. It will be your friend and companion.

Is it just me? These days I'm so over reliant on the map that I can't move an inch without it even for my own personal movements.

When riders rush and ask me which route I'm taking. I'm like, Alaye calm down. I need to check the map

olukaygold:

I can say I'm 70% maintenance balanced, cos of the good road here in Abj.and toks of honda accord 2006/2007 is 2m -2.2m compare to corolla of same year which is on the high side. Note: im just enrolling to driving school.

While I can't say much about Abuja roads, I also thought the same about Lagos till I started ehailing. I felt the issue of bad roads in Lagos were being exaggerated.

I didnt drive one month before I realised the bad roads are not being discussed enough.

Riders will take you to some very bad roads you never knew existed.

Just keep that in mind. The roads may not be as good as you think they are.

franchasng:
If your wife starves you of sex, as a married man myself, I can boldly tell you that she is either not so attracted to you or she doesn't love you that much.


My own wife is hot, classy and too busy, yet she chases me around with it. I am even the one that tries to convince her that we dont need to make it a too frequent stuff so we both don't get tired of it with time, and to also give me time to concentrate on my numerous other engagements.



Any married man that his wife is starving of sex should know that three things are involved;

1) she is not so attracted to you the husband

2) she is falling out of love with you for some underlying reasons you need to find out.


3) she is seeing someone else or planning to

This is nonsense. If your wife has a high libido, it's not the case with many other men

donfortune48:


What do you mean by he wants to cheat you with paid waiting?
Are you not the one that said any driver that does that is shooting himself on the foot?
Are you not supposed to be happy that he forgot to start the trip? At least when he gets to 7up and start it, he will be the one at loss.
Thought you said bolt have fixed their app from bugs, and things like this can't ever happen on Bolt?

So what's this claims you're spewing here?
You for no cancel am nah, make we know who's cheating who.

Mr Bolt's defender of the universe.

Hahaha, this is the funniest clap back I've read here. This man plan pearl1910 come

Thank you Pearl1910 Felicity001 Komodapson Tunlapapa BAZ001 stephenponti and every other person who offered a piece of advice.

He only drives on bolt and has been very consistent with his rents.

I have decided to waive that one day for him but with a warning that the next time it happens, I will not.
