most likely oil seal. The seal behind the engine pulley. I changed mine in September, same day I noticed it.

I no they like see oil stain or leakage

Ooooh!!! Really.... I detest it like sh*t, quite unsightly. Any idea about the cost of getting it fixed?
Thanks

MoonlightDrive:
I had made an emotional post that indriver caters for the segment that can not afford the cost of uber or bolt... I am now beginning to have a serious rethink.

After getting fed up of waiting for a trip on uber, I decided to accept a trip on indriver with their botom rock price that took me to ikeja.

When the trip ended, the lady said she had transferred the money, this is indrive not moving an inch until I see a credit alert on my phone or credit bal on my bank app.

The lady said oga, don't you trust me, she now gave me her phone, I saw the debt alert, but her account balance of close to N1m left me wondering why she did not just order uber or bolt.

So there are a lot of passengers out there who just want to pay next to nothing.

Lol....the money fit no be her own now
No doubt, a whole lot of riders (seems) to have moved on to indriver, due to harsh economic realities. If you took cognisance on ride request, you keep noticing "new user's"

GAZZUZZ:
ensure the tech pulls a vacuum before recharging, or compressor will die prematurely

Bro...how can you be of help with this bi weekly wastage No drop of oil has been seen/observed on the floor...not even a dot...

Thanks

Like someone said, I thought Uber riders are "sophisticated"...

Indeed they are sophisticated, composed and ..didn't you read the part @dailyparrot said it is a male uber account. Definitely, the guy booked the ride for her.

DOTian:
So what's the best way to agitate for seperation? Keep quiet and pretend you're happy?

Seek for knowledge. Google UN charter on secession and read. Its not only the Igbo's that are struggling to secede...southern Cameroon , casamance in Senegal, western saharawi, Catalonia, Taiwan and many more...

Read about south sudan

Study their strategies. Ojukwu was able to monster such feat, simply because he was a sitting military Governor, with commands underneath his watch. A graduate of history from oxford, full of intelligence, has allies with some countries...Russia, isreal, Tanzania e.t.c.

Tell me who Nnamdi kanu foreign supporters are?

I can't continue to justify this cause, if Igbo's like make dem continue the self destruction... Thinking they are hurting FG, na dem selves dem dey hurt...

Mind you, folks in ladipo, Alaba market and many more outside south east have started making remittances back home. Solely, because of economic paralysis being experienced in SE...

Ask yourself.. Who is losing and who is benefitting? That'll surely satisfy your curiosity

MARKone:
Lol. Oga, to go to war and even "loose" no easy, if e easy make Una try am, Bloody cowards. My post wasn't directed to you or your people.

Bro...the word is lose not loose...

This is what I kept on saying about the igbos not being tactful

DOTian:
You are desperate to treat them as a defeated people and they're determined to make sure you don't succeed with that! That's where we are at the moment! You believe you won a war and that the whole east is your war booty. Igbos think otherwise. We won't be enslaved in our own land by vandals. So the fight is on and will soon reach your house..

I so much appreciate your response. So, the question is...who is losing? Is it the North, South west, south south or who?
Students are barred from writing WAEC, who is greatest loser?.... And many more obstacles hindering growth and development...

The likes of Ekweremadu, Abaribe e.t.c are all cashing out

Mind you, the FG are even happy(ostensibly so), seeing SE get degraded to state of abyss.
Seeing SE retrogress like the NE.

Mind you, I'm in total support of Igbo's agitation for Biafra... %100...but the approach, tactics, strategy being deployed is way too infantile and archaic.

MARKone:
Oga rie Nsi there, riwasia Nsi Onu!!. Must the Igbos keep on Suffering, Agitation comes with a price you say? For how long will the Easterners, we Igbos, continue paying this price, with no results to show for it. [b]1967-70 we payed the price, millions were killed, children starved to death, and you and your ilks have not had enough of this sorrow, tears and blood, [/b]thunder fire you there!. Look at the once beautiful and peaceful Eastern region, you guys have turned upside down. People are suffering down there and you people won't tell yourselves the truth. Continue Agitating inugo.

Why are you trying to draw unnecessary sympathy to yourself and your kinsmen. The Igbo's went to WAR and you lost...period... "Sè èníyàn tí lè èjó d'òré ní".... Meaning: We don't return from court room and still remain friends...

Ethiopia and Tigray are on verge of civil war now...so whoever wins now, or comes out triumphant. So you expect Ethiopian Prime Minister Ahmid to till show love to a rebel group who rose against the Nation, if they came out victorious? Shey na like that dem dey do ní....

dasparrow:
Listen, IPOB is not the reason you are suffering in the East. Nigeria has been marginalizing you since the 1960s. Even if IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had not demanded for secession, Easterners and indeed Southern Nigerians will still continue to be marginalized by the ruling Fulani oligarchy.

Go and watch a video of Ahmadu Bello being interviewed by a white journalist. He, Ahmadu Bello said when it comes to jobs, he will consider northerners first and if he cannot find a northerner to fill the position he will consider a white person and if he cannot find a white person, only then will he consider a Nigerian from the Southern part of the country.

Nigerians are not united and self determination is not a crime. Why has the capital of Nigeria never been in a state in Eastern Nigeria? Have you thought about that? Why does Eastern Nigeria not have a seaport? I am not from the East but I am trying to open your eyes to all the injustice going on in Nigeria. Nigerian government sent killers to Anambra and Imo yet you blame IPOB. When and if Biafra comes, you are welcome to remain in Nigeria.

You're being economical with the truth about the bolded. I've seen the YouTube video over a decade ago. Ahmadu bello gave his reasons..."saying the Igbo are people who are greedy, that they tend to acquire everything to themselves if given an inch". That necessitated his submission. No dey twist the narrative. Is on YouTube make everyone go listen..less than 6minutes video

donfortune48:
E sure me like 95% say pearl1910 is a bolt agent.
Or their whistle blower.
Or their undercover spy.
Or a formal staff that was underpaid.

Walai....u be Sir Wereeey ... Lol
...can't hold my breath, when I saw how you tey use adjective qualify the guy..."that was underpaid "

BAZ001:
Make una come see semi illiterate geng.
Slay queen, make up on point and truly the girl fine no be small but hazard light na her problem.

No be only Izal light, una go see dettol light....na breeze full that their cranium.

Pearl1910:
They are looking for Lekki Ajah Sangotedo trips. Some times it cliques sometimes it's a wasted effort. While they are waiting other drivers have done 5k or 10k

You go dey see...UberX - 22 drivers on waiting . Those offers hardly come, perhaps with festive season approaching things might take a new turn. But till then fingers crossed

XGhost:
Just now, at the airport toilet... One bolt driver walked in an was about to pee in the wash hand basin... I had to stop him.
Like What the ACTUAL Bleep HABA


And what is this congregation always about, jabbering about like a swarm of flies

That's barbaric....

Pearl1910:
Just learn the tradition in this part of the country...the word NOW isn't abusive or insulting or derogatory. It's just part of d vocabulary. Having that at the back of my mind, I don't pick offence when I hear it.

That's not even the issue...we could give excuse for such "colloqualism", the issue is
you kept on calling (intermittently) and you're not ready. Allowing the Driver to wait extra 12mins. Mind you, " Time" is a key determining factor in this hustle

Gentlelife50:
The sun no be here, I am just coming out only to be waiting for a rider now. I hate waiting for rider especially when the weather is hot like this, because I will leave my car running.
I don't know why Nigerians can't just request when they are ready.

This one no too dey vex me, the one wey dey vex me be this..

Rider: Oga where are you NOW (emphasis on NOW)
Driver: I'm close by, the map is showing Less than 5mins

Next 30sec....

Rider: Oga where are you NOWWWW
Driver: come outside, I'm outside...
Rider: I'm coming

....after 10mins of waiting the rider is yet to come down from stairs...

After 12mins, then she appears...sitting at back, looking forlorn without apologies...then next thing..." Oga is your AC not working, can you please increase it"

Here comes test of your Patience elasticity..
If you're not calm enough, you're and am go run show God help you say na long trip..e go be like say you carry "Winch"

Gentlelife50:
You can the inspection on his behalf, but they will need your valid driver's license.
Then simply forward the result to the driver or help him upload it so they will activate it

@gentlelife: Alright thanks bro...


Whoelse dey feel this "heatwaves"....if your AC no be mortuary standard going into this Yuletide... Omor....you & Jezebel daughters go see War...

Omor!!! e be like say 11a.m - 4p.m go be break time now o. Make I go hangout for cocacola spot. There's more to life than dashboard earnings. I need one lazyant to second this motion.

Pearl1910:
Asin u use another car to go and represent your car? Or u go without car at all and show them pictures of the car?
Which proxy are we referring to??

Can you do an inspection on behalf of someone...

(A)Take the vehicle to inspection centre for him

(B) Get his/her document registered

The Driver's eloquence is not so impressive, but has vast knowledge about Lagos roads network

ayubaski:
You dey yarn rubbish, they see Lagos as their Dubai

No be only rubbish, he dey yarn dust...Benin Republic who's lifeline is in the hands of Nigeria

Abeg!!! Can Bolt inspection be done by Proxy?

Felicity0001:
According to the stupid police taskforce guy that took my car said it's people that removed it. Me I know say na lie him be they're the one that removed it else would I see the sign and still drive against the law? Hell no.


Let me try describe that place again, coming from afariogun street which needs you to charity bustop along the oworo-apapa Expr rd... Formally you can join the main oworo-apapa Expr rd when you come out from that charity bustop but now you can't unless you drive and climb the bride which leads you to DHL then you conti to isolo/mile2.

Mow this is where d pitfall is, if you're going to the airport or ajao estate, you have to go take Boladale to join the oworo-apapa Expr rd because if you are at charity bus stop you can't join tje Expr which takes you straight to the MMIA. Driving forward from that charity bustop which is on the service lane will take you to the slope just by the tail of the bridge to leads to DHL that slope links the MMIA Rd, it's a one way for people going towards the MMIA Rd from Oshodi on servuce lane. This slope is for those coming from either Oshodi/Anthony or Isholo/DHL going to afariogun, oshpdi, mafoluku anf all those areas

If you're coming from isolo your best route sunce the bridge at ladipo bustop that leads to MMIA Rd is still under construction after the tanker explosion, your best route is through Cway/Asiani/Osolo way/7&8 Bustop then the bridge and off you go.

I hope this help

Bro...How hustle? Quick one bro. Out of curiosity, I became worried about how someone can make a report /correction about a particular section of the road on Gmap.

So, I was fiddling with the map, thinking òyinbo wey do pencil na him do eraser, whitefolks oftentimes create avenue for correction/error. I never knew such existed on Gmap, lo and behold I saw the icon on top left corner, click and go on to feedback. Provisions are made for one-way, bad road e.t.c to report.

Note: The exact street/road has to be traced on the map

I don report that Baale

So if we all could report that exact portion, perhaps changes would be made.

@felicity: I don drop my epistle give Google...I'm sure you will also...

Gracias...

IgweOfNnewi:
It was outlawed by ohanneze and south east governors, so anyone that adorn it will be treated as criminal

You're well-read and exposed in political sphere.

Jimmy231:
As them they block us we self they block Philippine and India

Lmao...can't stop laughing reading this. You be clown walai. Honestly bro, I dey block those Indians, Pakistani, Bangladeshi.... Philippinos flood my messenger like water.

But come to think if it, I never knew how bad the situation is in some of those Asian countries with exception of Malaysia, Taiwan, Hongkong, Japan and the likes, till I had opportunity of meeting a young India guy here in a club.

He should be around his early 30s,Earning $520.
His Boss(an Indian) notified him thru text that he would be returning to India, that his Visa won't be renewed.

Naso this guy begin dey cry ó, I was like "Ravi : why are you crying all of sudden"...he showed me the text message.
And I replied, after all you're not being laid off, but back to parent company in India.

He reiterated..." I love Nigeria "
I was like..."mògbé"...I put my two hands for head... You like Naija ké...
I no fit laugh that day bro.
Dude is back in Mumbai...

arthurwillia:
Lol you might have be talking with Afeez from Somolu

Kìlódé...after dem don do all their vehicle particulars complete. Over taxation too mush for this contree

tunlapapa:
Where the problem will arise is bolt not notifying on driver app that trip had been cancelled.
Any update from rider on uber will make a beep and also bring the app to homescreen for the driver to see the update.

Nothing beats Uber....Al'Qurani. If only they could reduce their commission a bit lower and make destination of riders visible to drivers. Lòbátàn

Omo!!! How I wished the fabric fell on one hill top, preferably a rock where people gather to pray and it dropped on my laps...omo...I don turn billionaires be that mehn...

The slogan go be...wà gbá àsó àséyori

N100k

I have all the four in tact... No room for loose guard... Covid certificate dey also... I no one make one idiot disturb me for Airport when glorious day comes

Folks, I promised to drop a Gist about an incident that transpired between myself and an intending Rider some couple of weeks ago.

Having read about Oga BAZOO encounter with a Troublesome rider he was able to spot with the spirit or Voodoo powers miles away, I became motivated to drop this my encounter also. Though, I felt its no longer Newsworthy 'cos event had already overrides it. But reading BAZOO own, then I realize I suppose drop this...

Please any Driver that engages in such act of Shame, Indignity, loss of pride and Self respect should please desist going forward.

It was on Saturday, early in the morning around 8:20a.m thereabouts, I'd my first trip to lawanson from Fagba axis - K Farm. The trip ended well, without gbas-gbos. We got to said destination at lawanson.

Driver: Your fare is so & so
Rider: Alright
Driver: Transfer received, enjoy the rest of your day
Rider: And you too...

(Naso e end)

....while I was still thinking where the next request could come from....naso alarm rang.

Before I could chat the rider...my phone rang : grin! grin!! grin!!!

Driver: Hello Sir - Good morning
(Seems a lady snatched the phone from the guy)

Rider: where are you?
Driver: Am at so so place
Rider: Ehn Ehn...you'll go to my house, pick up my clothes and bring it for me...

I paused for a sec, (while the call was still on ) her request was akin to receiving a long range shot from a hitman using a Sniper.
I was Speechless.

Rider: Can you hear me
Driver: (I now replied her subtly)Yes I heard you, but I'm sorry Uber Drivers are not meant to embark on such trips...
Rider: dropped the call

Now...I was still in that shock, it was like I'm seeing stars in comic books and Cartoons.

The ambience in which the unknown rider is calling from, apparently sounds more like an hotel, you all understand after Friday Night stuff.

After like 12 mins, when my brain I'd booted i wanted to call and tongue-lash her, but I realize its of no use.
Why? I'm not seeing the person in question physically and that could in turn ruin rest of your day.

Now...here comes the question (LOGIC)

1. This is not her first time asking Drivers to go on such errands... 'Cos that one no be trip self.

2. High Probability, Drivers go through a whole lot of degradation,mistreatment, disrepute just to make ends meet.

3. What if I embarked on such errands, at point of entry of her house, she called me or directed me to go pick up her clothes , perhaps underwears - spread on the lines

...and many more possibilities, you can add yours..lol

Here comes Reasoning....
Some school of taught will justify the cause, claiming is all about Benjamin' niqqa

While some will cling on to straw of Dignity and Self worth firmly, claiming it worth more than 30 pieces of silver and shouldn't be laid to bare -
(Note: 30pcs of Silver, that was amount the Savior is being sold for)

Both Action(s) has consequences, in which only few Active Upright minds could discern

I have somebody that can rejuvenate the electrical system and make it like Europe...

Information is power my people

Follow who know road

If the built and body and engine and transmission is good and car is cheap my brother buy it then take it for serious electrical rebuilt.

I deliberately swim the ocean at that Baale street somewhat opposite chevron abi na ikate I really don't know... Like you coming from one beach side like that... The water climb reach my bunnet and I even waited for about 3cars inside the water to pass. After I came out of the water I switch of my engine and started it again na one hand e take start.

Follow who know road.

Ah!!! Shey u no sabi this place ní...omo...this place is dreadful. I don dey submerged for this area sometime in June, funniest thing the rider promised to do transfer. Maybe tomorrow e go do transfer

northbird:
Because you wasted time. Once you get a notice, prepare to come out.

All the Asians I have picked up, they were waiting and looking out for me and not the other way round.

Mehn!!!...I doff my hat for those guyz. Especially those Chinese around Toyin street, Opebi -Allen axis. Yeah, they'll be on the look out for you. Also, Europeans residing around Ikeja GRA....
They know the real essence of TIME and that shows a clear disparity between Africans and Advanced World...
