Family › Re: Why Do Some People Dig(construct)their Grave When They Are Still Alive by mejai(m): 9:32am On Jun 25, 2022
My dream is to build a small private garden in my compound( village) and always go there and have a time out with myself. When I expire on earth, I will be lowered there. Same with my immediate family.

Am I crazy? Nah, I’m normal joor.


I hate scattered burial in a compound. Bury at backyard, entrance, side building, inside the house etc....... madness

I don’t pray to ever do Uber work again in my life, the amount of money you make sitting behind the computer in office in 1week an Uber driver car make it in 3months.
Look around the most wealthy or top richesest companies in the world are Technologies coy not oil $ gas or manufacturers.
You will always see Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple on the list.
It’s because there are no options in Nigeria that’s why graduate will be driving Uber upandan... claiming I work hard now to play later, I need only 7 hours sleep a day...
High paying Jobs full here like rice & dodo. Just do little certification with your Nigerian degree you set.
Even some black immigrants semi illiterate Sorry high school graduates get good jobs here. How much more we wey don get MSc ; PhD and suffer for Lagos (street sense)

You can take this information to the bank.

Avoid St.Finbar's College road Yaba. That road na death trap.

Avoid Agege at night, except you know the area very well.
I was robbed along that Old ipaja road last night at about 9pm. It was a destination trip. When the request came in and I saw Ipaja road, I was very happy and said to myself, it couldn't have been better than that, on a 1.9 surge. Though it turned out to be old Ipaja road and not ipaja road.

After droping rider at one hotel along that same road, I moved a little bit forward from the hotel in order not to block the entrance and then pulled over to take a leak. It would surprise you to know that the place where I parked was well lit because as a night crawler that I am, I always avoid making a schoolboy error.

While I was easing myself, I noticed some funny movements around me, it was some dodgy looking guys smoking what obviously was hard drugs. I was kind of backing my car, saw two guys sitting on my bonnet, by the time I turned properly to face my car, they were like three boys by the side of the driver's side facing my direction and then like four boys by the passenger's side.

Omo mehn!!! I knew immediately that hell was about to let loose. So I quickly put my phone inside my trouser so that it will not damage when it gets to the ground.You know when it's falling down from inside my trouser, it will not hit hard on the ground. So when I felt it getting to the ground, I quickly positioned my leg and push the phone under my car.

Immediately, one of the boys rushed me and held my hand and said "weting u want bring out ?" I said nothing that as you can see I just finished urinating and I'm tightening my belt. He then held my trouser just like the way a police man would 'jack' you by the trouser during street arrest. Na so these small boys drag me enter inside my car and started searching all the places that they thought I would have my valuables. Some of them were standing outside and leaning on my car as though they were the ones that parked the car.

Thank God that most of my trips yesterday was transfers. Only two riders payed cash. They took 4k and some change and then requested for my phone, I gave them the small nokia phone that I have. They said where is the big phone, I told them that the phone was with a phone repairer. Looks like they were satisfied that at least they got some money for drugs, they quickly left and even gave me back my small nokia phone.

Na speed I take come down go carry my phone and zoomed off.
The oldest among those boys would not be older than 25 years. Those boys are ready to die any minute.
Before they left, they quickly hid all their cutlasses, hammer, sharp iron rods. You could smell blood in their eyes. Everything happened less than two minutes.

Another funny and scary thing about the robbery was that the locals that were passing by that sensed robbery, hurriedly passed us and look the other way. Meaning that it was not an unusual thing to them.

One take away from this my horrible experience is : Always have some cash with you, e get why.
STAY WOKE GUYS
If not for sapa and e-hailing companies no wan increase prices to agument realities on ground, this runs suppose be 6am to 6pm. Make everyone go him house.

Felicity001:
You're a lier! Yes you heard me Right... Take a picture of your record booklet let's see not all these senseless list you're coming up with.

How come ac isn't there?
14k for how many tyer, 1 or 2...
So in the last 8months your driver has been using just 1 breakpad of 4k?? Hahaha... Guy it's seems you've forgotten you're on driver's thread.

Guy how many times have you all changed breakpad in the last 8 months pls let's scrutinize this together to see how this guy is lieing to usgrin

Me early last month one of my fuel pump failed and I replace it with a complete assembly I spent about 25k
19k for the pump assembly
2k to security because I couldn't get it fixed the night it happened
Then the rest to workmanship.

It was a week later I found out the pump is actually sold for 15k but since I'd to ask my part seller to bring it down due to duress, off course I'll have to pay for that. The pump itself is about 5k but I choose to get the best since it has not been changed since production.

After then was when I lost a tyer in 3MD

There after I changed my horn, bought it 3k at alagutun, iyana-ipaja

Then my oil that has been leaking I decided to fix it and the mechanic advised I change the turbor charger, I bought it 12k.
Crank shaft seal, 1k

Worked on my suspension again after doing same work just February here after December hustle, I noticed my mechanic chopped my eyes because he bought fake parts and didn't gas the shock I gave him 4k to gas. This is the same shock I gassed for 1k myself yesterday abi a day b4grin

I spent a total of 15k on that

Replace thermostat 2k toks, them say new one no dey move market

One air hose like 1k
Mechanic workmanship 29k was agreed but I gave him 15k

What else oooh... Okay

My AC has leakage
Gas for flushing 1
R.gas 5k
Compressor oil 1k
Workmanship 2.5k

Alignment and wheel balancing for just the 2 front wheels 1, 1k for both

Okay, fuel, 5h

That was all.

The door I changed was accident will I add that to cost of maintenance ni? Lol

Now, this all I've ever worked on this car since I bought it last year August oooh.

Then I only changed breakpad and stabilizer and the linkage rod-... Shikina

I've done servicing twice since August last year till date I only do regular tipping due to leakage which was really eating deep into my pocket that I decided to tackle the problem.

So my people who is more complaint here?

This car has traveled over 25,000miles since I bought and has gone to Ogun State severally I cant count that, IB 3x, Shagamu 2x, Benin 2x that's 4 round trips, I've taken it to Ph, and then to Ekiti.

Kanuisagoat where has your lapka lapka Corolla matrix been to? E don enter Epe self let alone Shagamugrin try all these distance weather you'd not been taking about change of both engine and gear box.

Big boys dey talk you carry your lapka lapka Corolla matrix dey come chill with the big boysgrin guy shift your car jare.

Ask your driver to narrate to you the frustrations he gets in the dailys from Police, LCB, LASMA and lekki security boys. Police only stops me to beg for money to ask if I'm wuber

Guy see, mind yourself ogrin
U sure say u no Dey go Congo? grin

I will urge you make your commission payment immediately after you close for the day. Your daily commission payment should be your model now. You will always see it in your earnings breakdown.
Bolt commission sometimes looks like a magic when you keep getting orders, you will just realize that your negative don skyrocket to thousands of naira in a blink of an eye, you will be wondering how come. grin
And that's because they take 25% of your earnings.
I've concluded that a day would not go without me settling bolt commission on my app. I won't do carry over to the next day of hustle, that's if you want peace of mind and you want to know precisely what you're pocketing on a daily.
Don't delay bolt commission if you dnt want to be opening your mouth in surprise day-in-day-out. grin
However, 4.5k debt will not make bolt penalise you cos it's not on the red negative figure but they would do all they could to get their money with card trip if you delay payment and you will receive a thank you message from uche in your email. grin
Last week, I gambled and I was having close to 11k debt to pay bolt, when they had my time, my first 3 trips on that faithful day were straight card trips worth over 13k. Uche just come shine teeth in my email say they've now received their money, thank you. I no fit cry that very morning. grin
Ever since then, I've concluded not to be having carry over to the next hustling day.
Much respect, debtor . grin
