Thought I was the only one affected oh.so many things are going wrong especially this rating system as well.just today, I noticed bolt was charging 24% not 20 like they want us the driver to think. it's clearly 24%.if u are not keened eye,u won't notice.

Exactly, the rating system is a huge scam. My rating just dropped below 4.5 despite the fact that I've not had any issue with any rider. Even one day , I filtered like 11 trips, without completing any ride, ratings dropped immediately. I hate begging riders to rate me, but it appears that's the only way forward now..

Pearl1910:
Hahahahahahaha...OMG u just cracked my ribs.
Never park on d express, If u must sef, it must never be in d busstop bay. Clear into a street or inside bush along the road, na busstop be their office na.
If car spoil legit, they will tow it legit.
If I was u, I will still pepper spray that guy that attempted to enter my car after I don start to move.

Cars are now allowed to park at B/stop?

VaselineCrew:
Can anyone please help me instead of arguing back and forth, sigh

Try on your location and see.

Dododawa01:
Buy tire 205/70/R15 and u will be okay and thank me later

Thank You. I appreciate!

Pearl1910:
That's d penny wise pound foolish I am always referring to.
Good tokunbo is better than Chinese brand new.
Same thing with Corolla/matrix head lamp and many other things.

Car owners also have blame, it's not Kazeems fault everytime

You got an idea, the price of toks headlamp for Corolla?

People who think and act like you have smelly underwear; you wash and towel-dry yours in your room - everywhere stinks. Focus on things that are more important to you. This childish and uncouth behaviour is a perfect example of a low class airhead!

Felicity001:
If you dont want people to know the color of your under wear why dry it outside the compound??

Young man this is a public space and anybody/everybody has the absolute autonomy to criticise, comment, attack, support and share their opinion without any form of fear or reframe so if you don't want people to comment on your matter abeg don't bring it on SM you hear so?

Truth is a bitter pile to swallow so I understand your frustration that I gave it to you uncoated, spite it out if you don't like the bitterness but be ready to suffer the pain when it comes back hitting you hard

Peace.

Do you f*cking know me? Na everybody sabi car parts/issues? What then is the job of the professional mechanics? This is my first car, I basically have no idea whatsoever, about cars.. So I threw the question out cos I know local mechanics can be funny. This is how you go fighting and jumping on matters that doesn't concern you.

Felicity001:
Why is it hard for we as Nigerians to be humble? Thats the question you should ponder about instead.

What stops you from getting the exact oil you know your car use? Don't blame the poor kazeem, blame yourself.

We want to register a car we contract it out to somebody

Formerly we want to get DL we contract it out and the person will ask for our details and passport photo.

We need tinted permit we contract it out and the person will go do fake for us

We need roadworthiness, vehicle licence, NIN, TIN so many other things we contract it to somebody who goes cutting edges and when the chips are down we start crying fowl casting blame on people whereas we are the problem ourselves.

Most of these things are things you can do ourselves but because of our bossy and colonial upbringing we prefer to send one "my boy".

It is well shall.

I come in peace o.

Pearl1910:
One litre will not make much difference. However, if it's 4litres topping u should be worried

He didn't use half of the 1litre bought. I wasn't happy with him. Why is it hard for mechs to follow instructions

My corolla uses Type T-IV, came back and found out my mechanic bought Dexron III and topped it. Experts, will it affect my transmission?

odiman17:
Hello, please anybody with useful information about bolt.i. Have done my car inspection,driver verification and online quiz since on Wednesday,I have been fully verified.and am yet to be activated please kindly assist.

Make sure your location is turned on. It happened to me too. Driver's app didn't work for hours until I mistakenly turned on my location.

kanuisagoat:
I have been asked ridiculous things ranging from iPhone chord to Bluetooth to Pin to chewing gum to Jerry can but the one that takes the cake was when a lady asked if I had a gas cylinder in the car.

I mean, why will I drive around with a gas cylinder

Lol.. Uber driver turned BH

Guys, If you use MTN and you park inside Tejuoso car park, you no go see single network to end or accept trip. Yesterday, PU Mushin market [1.9x] drop off: Tejuoso car park- MTN Network disappear as soon as I enter car park. I couldn't end trip ; the guy even wasted my time loading my vehicle with carton, hoping he'll settle me. As no network, He gave me 2K, say, highest trip na 1,400, tip like 600.. Omo, as I found network, trip ended 2,200. I vex men. That 200 naira de pain me.. Even if I no later get tip, but my 200 naira pain me.

CheerfulGiverr:
Pls don't try this at home.

Abeg, which car you you de use work 18hrs/day?

Pearl1910:
No....except you are already on a trip. App shuts down at 11:59pm till 4:00am

Ok.. I de around admiralty way.. And I've been getting stupid short trips.. Wetin I go do? Drive to areas with surge like Surulere or remain in Lekki. Quick answers Abeg, before I go online

Bolt said there's curfew but I noticed the app works even after 12am

Pearl1910:
Yea...made 15k already between 4am and 8.30am. BUT App is still working. I thought Bolt will shut it down. As e still dey on It's tempting me.

obinoral1179:
thank you sir for this

Most importantly, don't forget to go with your trusted mechanic. Ensure you check the custom papers; and use the VIN to check the car's history. Good luck in your search.

I sourced for naija used cars on jiji for 3+ weeks, till luck found me and I got clean one at Lekki/Ajah. Most cars I saw on the mainland in Ikeja, Ijegun, Isolo and Mushin had their mileage tampered with or had gear/AC issues. If you want very clean naija used cars, limit your search to Lekki/Ajah; the price may be a bit higher but it's worth it.

Ghost1994:
Sir naija used car na luck but trust me you’ll get a good car with that amount.

Just try to source on Jiji/Nairaland car sections

Also try and watch cars around Ibadan/osun/Ogun state.

I wish you the best sir

My email alert comes very late. So all I do is refresh my bank app, it doesn't take 2mins to reflect. Once I see you used a bank app to transfer and I see my name and ref number, I let U go. Nobody fit use app do fake transfer, na impatience de affect most drivers

Pearl1910:
Time will tell...
If them dey Sabi fake transfer nobody will fall victim. The only fool proof is wait till u get ur alert before u let rider go. But sometimes that can take hours. So u can't always do that, reason why some people fall victim

Pearl1910:
Experience will answer you. Shebi u just they start.

Even if I just de start, say na until I do 1000 trips before I go know difference between fake & real transfer?

How them take de run una fake alert? Like, you don't confirm the debit from their app or how?

davit:
I noticed same too. A rider wanted to japa with my 1900 2 days ago, but claiming she had been debited. I quickly reported her to Bolt before confirming the trip. I tried to reach the lady but not getting any positive response. She called me later in the day to send my account number. I learnt bolt had contacted her.
In short, I have I got my money from her.
Only for her to call me yesterday with sobriety that her account is still blocked. Me I no send o. I have told bolt that she has paid me anyways. If they refuse to unblock her, then not my cup of tea.
It will be a lesson for others like her.

How bad are inner roads in Epe for someone using a car with low ground clearance? Do I take the off trip offer or nay?

I met the 6/6 bonus trips target, with 88% acceptance and 75% completion rate. Yet, bonus didn't reflect on my earnings. Why?

Blackbishop:
He got a good deal, that I can tell you bro

Aswear, it's good. Got mine for 1.6m. Was a little bit apprehensive about registered cars, but this one is solid.

yommie007:
A 15 rim with tire profile 215/65/15 should do the trick too

Noted

009mayor:
Yes I use 05 corolla sport
Raised it well self.

Can send u pic to see for yourself

Mine is 05 as well. Pls send pics.

For how much?

Mukah1234:
Good morning team,

I really appreciate your piece of advise as regards this. It helped!

So I finally got a few months used naija used Corolla 04.

This experience made me understand practically how difficult getting a manageable naija used vehicle is.

It’s either you see a car with clean body (most likely repainted), chilling AC but with a almost dead engine, a car with sound engine but with a rusted interior and underbody, or you see a car with everything almost perfect but car seem stolen following the countenance of the seller and seller being unable to provide the papers of the vehicle.

Just as advised, I contacted Blackbishop to assist check the cars I already chose. The truth is base on my experience with Blackbishop, he is a professional I would always recommend to anyone for auto issues and resolution enquiries. Baba’s customer service is great too.

After all inspection he recommended this Corolla. Car isn’t all perfect but it requires just minor repairs.

Thank you all.

emmancecute:
abule egba from where?

I have rejected 2 abulegba trips today.. Oluwa, which kind thing be this

Gentlelife50:
They will swap it for you and you balance them small money

Swapping can be done at Ladipo right with good tyres too?

yommie007:
Raise it or change the rim from 15" to 16" and tire to 205/60/16

Ok.. Thanks

I don't have funds for 16" yet.

Pearl1910:
Yes it is, pad the shocks or u change to 16"rims
