I'll never forget the day one of their thugs wanted to drag me to that sura. He was saying if I don't cooperate he'll call towing van. I cooperated till we reached the turning to their office. I don't know what came over me but I just stepped on the gas and changed it for the guy. I told him that I've been speaking to him politely but he has refused to see reason. So now, by the time we get to my dad's place, he will explain himself. I guess that got the guy scared a bit so while I was driving, he pulled my handbrake, car came to a halt in the middle of the road.
Unfortunately for me, earlier, while we were driving from where he picked me up to sura, the confused state I was caused me to hit one keke and my plate number fell, so I'd picked it up and placed it in my glove box.
So this Sura thug opened the glove box, stole my plate number and ran away.
I recorded everything only to find out later that the camera was focused on me alone and did not get the guy's face at all.
That was how I escaped them that day.

I don't have anything against Bolt. They gave me platform to have accomplished alot. All this challenges is as a result of Covid19, I am trying to pass message to you being a veteran in business but you re hating on the messager instead of the message. Since I stopped using dashboard earning to measure my performance few years back, I have achieved some success in the business. You have to look beyond dashboard bro. The Business is more than dashboard earnings.

Boss grossing 14k is still a win win, I swear down, if I can do 30k weekly in dis dry season I'll b so happy. Oh! My bolt *smh* what did I do thou to forsake me like dis

If he gross 14k with most 3k5 pending on car, Bolt remove 2k8, maybe toll 500, if he remove 6800 from 14k, then his take home will be 7200... What r we not saying, his children self we greet him, daddy welcome!

dckng16:
Look at what I earned since May 4th Lockdown was eased till now. I can't boost of 30k in my bank account from this 2months earnings. 20% commission, outstanding debt, Cash Discount, low fares, buying of Fuel, Car repair and maintenance took 80% of the so called earnings. What baffles me most is that you see Big figures on Dashboard, but in reality you actually earn little money. You will be making a big mistake if you judge your performance with dashboard earning.

davit:
Some other time leave "gross" alone. Talk about your Net. No one is interested in your gross. Gross makes you think you have made enough. But by the time you deduct all the deductibles what remains is the reality.
So keep your dashboard bro.

I hope you will show us the dash again tomoro?

dckng16:
Hope you re setting money aside to pay outstanding debt, Cos by time you minus fuel money, 20% commission and feeding and data and call cards and other small expenses, nah small portion of 17k will remain. Dashboard earning is not the best way to know how much you actually earn, it is final money in your bank account after expenses, Forget that crap

OJURONGBE1:
Bro, they said i need to pay commitment fee of 15k with 20k weekly remittance.
Pope , kodrex and others on rentals please is averaging 20k net feasible this period?
Its been long i drove on the platform and i was content with whatsoever i made with my Ford Mondeo.

Wow, guys are not smiling these days. Will behaving myself these days

SaintHilary:
So you somehow waited till she came out.
Only for you to cancel there after

Na Dru get ena power here sumtimes

Felicity0001:
What assumptions are you still wasting precious time on?

Nobody will have such impetus to pull such stunt without being in his/her area let alone a little boy that knows I could easily crush him like a tractor.

Guy, the matter happen for him area Adedokun Street, Mushin and if unfortunately the matter set trust men go show. As a matter of fact I don already place call to one or two persons b4 stepping out of the car so leave that talk about assault my mumu no reach that height.

Anywhere I find myself either in lagos, outta Lagos or Nigeria first thing I do is pin a tent of human defense, if e set na settlement go end am las las

Felicity0001:
Guy some riders are a disguise in their approach on phone why some are not.

Why are snakes regarded as one of the most dangerous animals on earrh? A cobra can hide in the sand just attack, how about a green snake? So drop it!.

2days ago a lady with calm gentle voice and with good manners kept me waiting for over 15mintues that was after several calls I'd put through to get the right PU address and even pee after arriving, came back to thw car call again. After about almost 20min of waiting I'd had to cancel after driving out. It took her another 10min before calling asking me where I was, still in her gentle and calm voice on the phone.

So guy hash all those preaches, you probably didnt meet the ugly once or maybe the good hadn't gone bad during the time you rode; I encourage you to do a 1 week test one of these days then come back and tell us how far.

ndubuis:
Bro, it has nothing to do with ego. No one with ego does this business in the first place, let alone doing over 1500 trips. I have met the good, the bad and the ugly. At the end of the day, we are all humans and can't keep eating shit because of money or to avoid being judged.

We also have a duty to change our community the best way we can. Sometimes, force may be the only option left. If we just sit there and keep watching our fellow humans behave like animals and mistreat us, then our reason for existence becomes irrelevant by our inaction.

It doesn't make sense to keep serving a community that abuses you. You have to make an effort to keep it in check, the smallest of effort may go a long way. Using a whip on an adult may not be the best, it's on the extreme, but don't sit there and watch yourself being bashed just because you only have money on your mind.

As for pepper spray, it's my first line of defense and everyone should have it. You just have to know where and when to use it. If you arrest me unjustly and I see that my path is clear, I'll pepper spray you, push you out of my car and make a run for it. Lagos is not where you allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to ram you up and down.

I actually thought I've seen it all only for me to experience the height of them all just few minutes back.

After buying and changing two tyers at ladipo, I got this request going to ketu.

I put a call through immidiately I entered the PU area. Rider said he was off the street but walking down to my location so I should drive down to No8 on thw street. Made a turn and parked in a safe place waiting.
After like 2min rider was no where to be found, I called again but this time he said I'd past him so I should come back a little, I was like but you said you're already coming why not just walk down and meet me up because this street is so narrow with double parking on it but rider said he was carrying a pot of soup along.
Me: a pot of soup?!! Sorry I'm not going.
R: ok, cancel.
I cancelled with the option of I don't wish to serve this rider.
Immediately after his request came in again, I've to accept with the vail of wait for 5min before cancelling but he cancelled. This happened like twice. The 3rd one I did likewise and while waiting for the 5min to cancel I saw a littlw boy within the age of 16-18 years.

R: with a rude voice, why do you keep accepting my request when you already said you're not going, can you cancel the trip.
Me: still trying to think of what to saynto the little boy due to its smallishness and rudeness and I that could entered my mind to tell h8m while he was still ranting at yhe top of his voice was "I'll cancel when I'm ok to do". It was like that was a bomb on his ears
R: are you fucking kidding me I said cancel.... He was still shouting and insulting.
I just looked at him and then started my car engine turned on the AC and rolled up.

This time it was like I fueled the whole thing. Boy started to hit my side glass, like he knew it will break he then started to hit the door and aide mirrow to an extend that the croom guilding the glass pulled of... At this time people around that knows him started coming n calling him.

One Bros he explained to walked to me to ask what happened but I just kept quiet didn't say a word for like 5min.

To cut it shot, everybody on the street gathered begging me and almost beat him up na me com dey beg for am las las.

One elderly Bros said, baba any action I want to take I should let them know they will support me.

I then said, "the society we live produce the kind of people in it, if an arm rubber comes out of the society part from it being a personal choice it's also a function of the society because some persons in the society support and encouraged that child when he started stealing before growing up to became an highway rubber, in a nut shell, you all didn't support him so that's enough".

I arranged the little damage he caused, thanked all of them while they all both old, age mate and young thanked me, entered my car, took a deep breath, drank the remaining bottle water left in my water bottle and off I went.

Looks like Uber have forgotten their rules. Just rated this fool 1star on Uber after I rejected her request for me to wait for her and take her back. A very rude bastard. Already on the express, another request came my way, didn't think twice about picking it, I was shocked it was the same girl I just dropped off. I didn't want to cancel because I have not been driving for some time, asked her to cancel and was met with serious insults plus death threats. Drove back to where I dropped her, thinking I'd still meet her there but she was no where to be found.

I go dey carry koboko for my car from this day forward. Koboko to flog stupid riders. Pepper spray for touts and Lastma. I really do not care if I get removed from the app. If you do any how because you are going to pay me peanut, you will be met with serious fire and fury. Fxxk that crazy talk about rider being king.

Felicity0001:
How about with drivers?

You seems to be placing all the values on riders without even thinking about the value of drivers. Does it mean to you that the provider of services dont have a value to the services they're providing? If they don't why then do you think riders are after getting services drivers provide even with the surge.

Change this thinking of your and begin to c things differently.

In other sense you're in support of all the ills riders perpetrate daily.

davit:
I hope you know that they may end up giving you low rating? They determine what rate you get. And some that you are even nice to might end up giving you low rating. That s how the system is structured.

Felicity0001:
Doesn't the same programm also meant to curb out driver with rating below 4.3 or there about?

Isn't the same program written so as drivers activity scores isn't affect thereby getting axed or penalize due to high cancellation rate provided the all protocols before cancellations are observed?

The other someone posted a screenshot of a rider with 1star rating. You now begin to ask yourself how come the program has such people and are still active making request in the system.

So, Brother man corruption, greed and indiscipline are the reasons for all of these. Even you're not ledt out because if we are to investigate or you're to be honest you'll know off trip was the reason for that high cancellation rate.

Anyways, man must survive but for the sake of next time learn to be more smart. I hope they unblock you soon so you don't loose your source of livelihood.

QUESTION FOR THE HOUSE.

in light of these trying times, what salary would you take to go back to a regular job?

Felicity0001:
And finally bolt unblocked my account.

Account was suspended due to a trip I did some 3weeks ago, rider was not satisfy with the price instead to request a price review bolt then have to suspend driver's account.

I just weak for this ye ye company call bolt.

#5000, #6000, #7000. ,#8000 and maybe #9000 on a good day. Those are gross figures. Take off your expenses and see what remains.

That's why they compelled everyone to wear mask. If the infected person is putting on a mask, this will prevent the droplets from escaping. That's why you need to insist on your riders to always have the mask on.

pope191:
Pardon my ignorance cos I always here come in contact with and now you've said it can enter thro eyes and ears... Is the virus airborne? Or it takes the droplet from one person to another for transmission to take place?
