pesin go buy fuel 30k, to see the 30k back na problem on week days (mon - fri) on bolt

inside all this your car fit breakdown make task force, lastma, area boys or police use you shine and 1 terrible day fit take profit of 3 profitable days or more

e go still better like this?

cng and ev users don finally chase fuel users comot online 💔

i saw cng que somewhere in surulere or so, the line long like 1km still enter one-way..
cng users, una dey hustle everyday so?? or na one day in one day off??

Glithronix:
That's why those drivers are flooding Indrive.
Shebi indrive na rubbish app.
So, why are they neglecting Bolt and converging to indrive?
Drivers don too plenty on indrive.



Much respect, baba.

omo, how pesin go take maintain car cos the prices no dey enough for food sef after fueling and commissions

this prices on bolt are really discouraging 🤧
week days no follow at all for this lagos ride hailing

cyif2003:
How much one makes is relative to how one works. Some days are good, some days are annoying. Buying gas this days b like better war.... Little or no maintainance dats if u have a sound car with sharp plugs and coils... 65L from Mr jide is 650k now . But u will drop ur nin as this is government subsidize cng package.

with nin and subsidy mr jide will still take 650k for 65L??
😭😭

Nelochukwu:

Glithronix:

obacasmir:
I have heard about 3 drivers who stay in badagry.
I used to think back then that badagry is very far and people don't really stay there .
Sometimes I'll be like, how does badagry look like?

I do feel it's at the outskirt and it's being influenced by Beninese.

It's a place I fantasize about never been there ..

Whenever I hear people say I stay in badagry, I'll be thinking , do people really stay there?


Even the few times I got offline to badagry, I decline because it feels like it's so far and I might never be able ro find my way.. 😆.


It's a misconception on my part obviously .
I have been to epe, sango otta, ikorodu and all those far areas but never badagry.

I'm sorry for the long message o, this is the only and first time I've been able to pour out my heart about badagry.

lol, haha
a lot of lagosians feel same way,
i used to work in Ikate all the way from bdg, dem been dey look me like superman lol, they later gave me lil accomodation..

if driving, from festac to badagry round about no reach 1hr again, say 45mins on 40mph as road constructions is 87% completed..

only issue now is food prices and transportation don pass normal lagos price but house rent is still cheaper here in bdg..

when i first came to bdg in 2015 dem dey sell full frozen chicken 250 naira, i had to buy two to confirm say no be whining lol but things don change now…

abeg elders and other drivers, i’m interested in all badagry jobs so far the price is right

PeaceMaker24:
Abeg gimmi your number , make I give you badagry trip

i greet u boss,
sent u a mail request

still available?

Nelochukwu:


Funny man.

Na small small u go get d hang of it

If d trip is bolt basic just laugh at Dem wen dey ask for ac. That one na purely ur own decision to put am on or not iz only on comfort u must oblige.

But broski driving with ac sef is for ur own sanity else u will always be angry during trips and by d time u get home u will be worn out

But truth be told u will save fuel driving without AC if dats ur priority

even the comfort prices are too low, fuel don add money again

Nelochukwu:
Yes e dey do like dat sometimes but iz still d best.

As u dey drive d map go dey suggest other routes, u need to click does routes sometimes as u dey drive to analyze chart cause sometimes the primary route wey e suggest is supposed to actually be d secondary and vice versa

So sometimes na u go dey watch cause actually does suggested routes that upgrades on ur charts are better routes.
This can save time esp wen using indrive

very useful tip
tnx

Nelochukwu:
Ahhh bro why u dey accept trip dey go badagry. No allow bolt put u for long jump ooo..

U can do a lot better with the same fuel on calculated trips. Pls don't allow bolt tension you.

Ur fuel sud make u times three that's good bizness not just doubling it else u won't be saving adequately for future repairs.

God bless u

i no accept trip go badagry boss, i live in badagry..

Google map is the best

e navigate me pass one bad road today when better good road dey,

i still prefer am sha

Eazilyfe:
Google maps

Use the 3D feature if you are new to driving in Lagos

Waze has got a better 3D feature, jst that it doesnt have traffic update & road update like G Maps.

As you keep driving daily try & learn new routes & alternative roads.

tnx boss

Nelochukwu:

One was very shocking cause even d guy sef look like person wey anyone go fear. Em look my plate number verify finish and still refused to enter.

So now I pull up to the location with all my windows down and then after they enter d windows fly back up. But even at that one one occasion one lady said Haaaa dark things I'm not comfortable inside the car oo and we don dey move. . Women ehhh

make i remove am abi make i leave am??

is uber leaving Nigeria good news or bad news??

MoonlightDrive:
It is still profitable for car owners, (extremely tough for those on rentals) under some condition.
1. You have a honest and experience mechanic, consider him as your business partner.
2. Ensure you do not skip periodic maintenance of your car
3. Avoid greed, meaning avoid trips to bad roads, no matter how mouth watering the price of the trip is.
4. Avoid traffic prone areas.
If you can meet those conditions above you are good to go.

tnx for this

obacasmir:
