Only Lagos inspect, other states doesn’t inspect. The thing self is getting stale and a way to steal. What’s the point when we still have unroadworthy cars everywhere.

From a reliable source, Abuja inspects too.

Pearl1910:
Its only Lagos state that does inspection before Road worthiness certificate is issued.
So d idea is if u have another state plate number u r free from that procedure every year. And its in the process of inspection they check if u have any violation or outstanding fines to pay. So if u can renew ur documents without going for inspection then it will be great.

False sir. Abuja does inspection before RW certificate issuance.

Glithronix:
I was about asking this same question.

Much respect, boss.

Baba, those traffic light cameras' main purpose is to detect vehicles with expired papers.

Pearl1910:
For real?!
Are u sure of this? Cos I know ones a car is registered in Nigeria irrespective of the state. Any re reg will be Change of ownership not fresh registration

I think Readadream is right provided they have not changed the policy recently in Abuja; Wike effect. You are used to Lagos draconian laws Vikings should still have contact in Abuja if he is reachable
My challenge is how do you handle the inspection aspect? Will you now drive the cars to Abuja? In all, I think you should stick to Lagos number. There are apps you can use to set reminders for each car documents expiry dates.

The 5 million guy they are even advising is no where to be found. No form of acknowledgement whatsoever. If people did not respond, they will say this thread is only for cruise.

Hmmmmmmm, this account is hacked.

Bazoo1 go don laugh die where him dey

Glithronix:

Much respect, boss.

Personally, Not yet baba. I'm relying on the update from Pearl and Welz.

Thanks guys for the 3mb update!

We move.

Glithronix:
I thought they said they're opening the 3mb today (4th), wetin come dey sup again

Let me co-ask. The thing shock me when I checked the map. Shockn't me?
Anyone that used the 3mb this morning should please update the house if both sides are now available 🙏

The traffic at Eko bridge/apongbon/marina is not good. Plan your movement!

Pearl1910:

Uber users, kindly take note.

Pearl1910:
I just dey reach Lekki since 6pm that I left CMD road. Still going to Pinnoch Beach Estate. Imagine if this was Indrive. The traffic started after Anthony just like the normal traffic on that route.
I just dey vex! but at least I will get extra 6k on top my fare, better than zero naira extra plus HBP

Omo! That's crazy

Glithronix:
Agba awo. Buati!!! 🙌

Much respect, sir.

Baba, how was the road from Ib to Oyo?

Glithronix:
Taking two persons to Oyo town this morning for an event, I charged them 60k (fuel on me), and will be taking them back today.
Hope e make sense?

Much respect, bosses.

60k is very small baba, except you billed them on a paddy paddy level. I hope the road from ib to oyo is good?
Safe journey! Buy waara oyo on your way back make boys see something hold body.

pope191:
Me no deh disturb myself again. Good for anybody the government favour and if it is just to score political point? Reality no deh look face.

Bovas don increase meter to 615 like this.

Baba, na how other filling stations aside nnpc dey subtly increase fuel price every eke market, dey surprise me.

Ceenelly:
Good evening house, please i need help. My car is honda civic 2008 model. Last year when i engage my gear to either drive or reverse, the car would start shaking and making sound, it was later discover that the fault is a faulty adjuster belt which i change by buying complete belt adjuster but still yet the signs and symptoms continue so my mechanic advise i remove the adjuster belt completely which he did and bought a shorter belt. After this i stop experiencing those noise and the shakes or vibrations but my belt easily worn out and woulf be making squeak noise. So now have decided again to go back to my belt adjuster cos driving without the adjuster is affecting even my battery, today i bought a new adjuster and also the symptoms of the vibration when engage in drive or reverse resurface.
Please house i am looking for a solution if anyone have please give me on how to stop the vibration when engage in drive and reverse, thanks

Civic 2008 and vibration are siamese twins.

Did you use the same short belt when you fixed back the adjuster? The size of the belt is VERY important. There is a reason why the adjuster is there in the 1st place which is to ease the difficulty in fixing the appropriate belt of the car.

The belt that will fit the car will initially appear as too short when fixing it, but when you tilt the adjuster and roll the pulley, it will enter. You will notice the firmness of the belt.

With good adjuster and right belt size, that issue should go.

Help me thank God for life...
Had a terrible accident 5days ago along mowe.
Car is write off. Neck damage but getting better, face disfigured but Thank God for life.

Coming out of this alive is a big testimony. We really thank God.
God will perfect your healing and make you recover what you have lost.

pope191:
Here is ego tripping without being honest. My questions are so simple. I need to know your start out time, each trip and end point before giving you that flower. It ain’t hard, it’s a matter of choice, nothing absolutely new under the sun. What’s the point telling what you net if you have difficulty showing the trips? What’s the usefulness of such info to an average person out here?

Baba pope, biko calm down. Bolt app is vulnerable, so there are a lot of hacks on it. I think it's deliberate from them to keep them on top of the game or there is an internal sabotage. I believe you know this, that's why you want to corner pearl.
It is well

Kollyk11:
Good morning all
Thank you all for the updateds,you guys are really doing a nice job here,pls I work presently with a bank as an outsourced staff and it is really frustrating,I am interested in being a driver with uber but I don't have a car,pls can u guys kindly put me through and advise on how to go about it,I will really appreciate a quick response cos I am really tired right now
Thank you all

Sorry about your experience. Every job comes with its challenges, e-hailing inclusive.

Since you don't have a car, you will need to go for rentals or hire purchase. I recommend rentals for starters. You need to network with drivers for recommendations to partners that will give you a car after agreeing to their terms and conditions.

Register with any e-hailing company of your choice. You can combine them as well, no penalty. Follow this thread and ask specific questions or state your challenges as you start the process. All the best!

pope191:
Let’s say we are on same page then. I think it’s best to have both apps.

Sure odd! To strike a balance, both apps are important. Even though I use indrive more, bolt must always complement it, especially in certain locations.

TheModerator:
The idea of setting up a telegram group is to take the life away from this thread.

Someone whos idea of how the business works was flatly rejected here, decided to pitch his tent on telegram. He's an outcast that should have been ignored long ago. It beats me how some hardcore regulars on this thread decided to join him. This is a world wide web, whether people comment here or not is no longer so important, the wealth of information here will certainly live forever, no one can kill it. Newbies can always get knowledge by reading and scraping through a few pages.

To those scrambling for help, the major determinants to success in this business, is your body, type of car, energy level, determination and how smart you are (accepting less of short trips and non beneficial trips).

All that talk about telegram strategy is a complete hogwash. That's why they are afraid of telling you amount of fuel used and hours put in, these are critical factors in this business. They are more interested in show of dashboard. Driving from Okomiko to Ikorodu and staying in traffic for more than 14hours every day of your life is not a strategy you need. Time ,experience and where you live will make you have your own strategy and what will work for you, not another man's personal blueprint.

Beyond your gbas gbos, I really enjoyed the last 2 paragraphs. The summary of e-hailing was fully captured. I love balanced objective.

Factory tint no need medical report, if police dey vex tell am to remove it 😁.

or make hin break the glass

Barbiturate:
immediately after my last chat response above, she ended the chat immediately. Meanwhile, I was still chatting.

These guys are theives! Something should be done about them. We can't fold out arms and watch them cheat us every now and then

It is well baba. This thing also happened to me last weekend.
Indrive is a necessary evil. When dinning with them, please use long spoon especially when you are close to pick up point. That is when they mostly strike.

pope191:
Everybody suppose rest for January. Both riders and drivers

Even app companies go rest. Na January go separate boys from men.
Na siddon look we dey like this.

dapotemi:
Lol, some month ago I saw a trip from v.i to ogudu for 12k around 10pm.. I pick it even before checking the price because it's a destination trip...later I was worried that hope this person will pay, I no get muscle for fight o...I was driving and the young lady was just chilling making calls..we got to ogudu and she wanted to get sharwama by the road side, had to chill for another 10 mins, we got to GRA, she apologies for wasting my time, did transfer and I saw 15k...all Tru the trip, I was so so bothered whether the 12k she put na mistake abi she mean am...would have taken that trip for 2k!!!

What a way to close shop. The sleep go sweet.

Princely01:
Thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate it.🙏

I was just wondering @BAZ001 claims.
I'm beginning to wonder....these guys that drive Suzuki for moove and remit 56k weekly or 9,400 per day.
And they are required to do 12 trips per day.

How much would they then eventually make for themselves?

When I compare that to a 40k remittance that I would be doing, And BAZ001 says 30-40k weekly after remittance wouldn't be possible in Jan/Feb.

What then makes the difference for these suzuki guys?
Do they make less than 30-40 for themselves per week?

Boss, like baz001 told you, try it out 1st with rental, if you don't have your own car. This work requires capacity and brain which are never equal compared to individuals.

My weirdest request was when a girl asked me to sleep over at her place cox she felt I was too exhausted...


I just gave her bombastic side eye

She was trying to be nice na

pope191:
You won’t understand, the way riders on indrive have been increasing their price lately. I go just smile 😊 Pearl condemn, he don use una tire una eyes don clear. Anyway I am here for you.

When you start hearing bolt are mad and thieves, I can never use that app again. I’ll just be smiling inside. Everybody go deh ok sha

☺️☺️

northbird:
@ AOB, @ welz has done justice to it. One more thing, if you want the bonus , there is a section of the app where you can untick the packages you dont want to drive on.
So you can untick "priority". However, priority is the best package,you are exposed to clients who don't flinch when it comes to paying for rides.

Baba, no be lie
I got a request (indrive) in phase 1. A very short distance, she puts 1900. I quickly parked to pick it before Glithronix (much respect) As I was about to pick, she has already increased it to 2500. Ehh! I picked, she accepted.
Madam: Please, will you go to ....... after this trip and how much together?
Me: I will, but let me check before charging you.
I checked after getting to indrive destination and came up with a good price which most riders will decline instantly.
Me: Madam, are you good with 5k, plus the initial 2k5, making 7500?
Madam: I will round it up to 8000
Me: Oh! Increased my AC to 3, make I give Madam Moscow treatment.

Barbiturate:
At times, things happen beyond control and you won't have street option!
My battery once failed me at Ketu......never showed sign before. Car stopped abruptly on the main road at Ketu inward ojota.
These agberos collected 7k from me. Meanwhile, a police man and a lastma official were there and did nothing. I tried talking to the police man but he ignored me.

Inside lasgidi! Drama and craze everywhere. Everything get expiry date sha.

Na glithronix, anything above 3k5 Otilor
