Angryiboman post should be the wall paper for this thread. Both newbies and oldies can learn a lot from his post.
I really dont see how someone who wants to achieve something in life will say Bolt is better than Uber? In what dimension are you living?
PRO TIP : when I was driving, I only use bolt trips for cash to run uber..cos I love uber card trips. It's the surest way you can see atleast 25k in your account every monday. Try that on bolt.
The kind of people you will meet on Uber you can never meet on Bolt.
To let you guys know of my bad experience yesterday 18.03.2020 during a BOLT ride.
Picked up a rider at Alakija at about 7:30PM heading to Adeniji. Lagos Island, just five minutes into driving we were held in a thick traffic created by tanker and container trucks.
Just before we could get to Mashalachi junction, two able bodied men crossed over from the other side and started flashing torchlight into the car. Before we knew it, the driver window side was hit by a heavy object and the glasses was all over my body. Traces of blood was seen on body especially my hand.
Unfortunately, the rider 2 phones, 1 iPad, apple wrist watch, wallet and money was taken away from him.
Those thieves also went ahead to attack the car ahead of us. We were all helpless, even the presence of truck drivers was of no value as we expected a support from them.
Made a report to Bold through the app on support and got a call this morning from BOLT. According to the customer care, BOLT will NOT be able to do anything for the following reasons; 1. I was not registered for the BOLT shield. MY ADVICE: Guys, if you can afford it, please do it. You won't know the importance until days like this.
2. My third party insurance can only over cover if another car was involved.
I continued with the trip because I had no other option but to drive him to his destination. Although on getting to Apple junction I ended the trip in other to keep my phone off sight.
Please lets be careful as we go about our daily routine and avoid some roads at night.
God bless the road.
Sorry about your ordeal bro. If you have been following the tips given here on this thread you may have not encountered such an experience.
Why on earth will you accept a trip towards adeniji adele around that time?
hefelove: Bro na 3 mentor you get for here. Sha easily Tojarr the oven. And this Mrjaydee song comes to my mind, soundtrack.
Wait first, this one she said stop doing like a kid, are you a new driver? Might be a format she uses for all the drivers o, faking mood swings and that their mumu cry for pity. Use your head bro
always sanitized properly before lightning any oven this period.
Omo the guy humble las las " I didnt know" dumbfuck the babe for show his moronic face well.
No wonder riders at times look down on drivers.
Best way to deal with "FAKE ALERT" mostly on that useless Taxify App cos you cant have such issues on Uber.
Driver: Good day, got your request on bolt.. blah blah Rider: yes, please come. Driver: Please are you paying Cash or is it a Card Trip? Rider: I'm doing a Transfer Driver: Transfer kee you dia!!!
Swipe arrive or cancel. But do this at your own discretion
1. Why would you give out a car for 20k naira rental? Was their something wrong with the car before given it out?
2. How well did you know the driver before given it out ? Was he recommended by family, friend etc
3. Did you keep up with inspection of the car? Because for me I do inspection every two weeks .. If I see that the driver is good and the spirit leads me, I than do it every three weeks to once a month..
3. What are your maintenance agreement with the driver
Like I said before and before, no matter how low the rentals are ,drivers will still mess up.. It is better to put your car into a shape that reflects weekly rental...
If your rental is 20knaira weekly rental, it's either the car is not in top shape or you thought that you might get a good driver because of your low rental.. ..
My cars conditions reflects what the weekly rental should be and what the current rental market is. I feel for you my brother, just have to be becareful,
Do u know how many calls I get daily to weekly from drivers looking for car . I mostly turn them down and take my time . I have a tokunbo car sitting down for 6months, and am taking my time before I get a driver. I dont rush myself at all. If I come across a good driver and I feel comfortable enough I than get the car ready for uber..
Conclusion: Transport business is a tough business.. Put your emotions aside when doing this business.. Put your car in order before giving out your car . Fact check your drivers at the same . If you cant be hands on with these business, unfortunately you are setting yourself up to fail.
And make sure you set up time to inspect your cars. It could be weekly monthly etc. But every two weeks will be the best option ...And expose any bad drivers out there , you said you didnt want to expose the driver, my guy its either you tough up or you find another business to do .. The driver you hired destroyed your car in two weeks . And you dont want to expose him or her .. My brother it is well sha ..... It is well
Morning my people. I'm really pissed someone here PC me to give out my car for 20k rental which I did. In less than 3weeks my car is a mess. I had to tell my mechanic not to release the keys to him...i have been driving for over a year no major issues I gave someone my car for 3weeks.
My car shaft is gone, linkage stabilizer, gone. The oil is almost dried up, side mirror is hanging by a tread, front bumber is like a mess.
I wont mention the person, but my advice to those that want to give out their cars should do a mental test on the driver.
sexylassie: good for you, all his staffs are on nairaland, one came before you and wrote, he is the logistic officer that they are sending to ph, now you are the other one also claiming ph, who will be the third person?? make una continue with una lies, i have my proof, dont think any threat or abuse i read here, i take it seriously.
now, do not make yourself important, the cause of the argument isnt because of you, so move on to PH instead of wasting your time replying me
there is this problem in Nigeria, it is the problem of writing long stories and epistles to show do-you-know-who-I-am but all na audio according to psychologist they say it is a personality disorder(NPD) precisely, the feeling of self importance, very common among nigerians
anyway, i didnt come here to argue, me, i have done my own research but its shows otherwise,
the only reason i love to do check on people is because Nigerians are liars, i have meet many and not one truth came out of their mouth, it is only bragging and bragging, time for action na audio, no show.
so i have decided that before i can believe or do anything with anybody, a background check must be done and thank god for that simple implementation, fraudsters and scammers now run away when i smell their scam, now i know truth from lies.
if you like you can continue to believe any story here, until you meet someone who says he owns a space station and he believe he can make you an astronaut in 3 months and it will make your family and village be proud of you, then you shall take seriously, what i have been trying to say and know that anybody who talks big without proof or evidences na scam he dey try do.
Btw, your boss you have been defending,, i know his second moniker on nairaland, where he gives advises does his real life side hustle without bragging.
lets leave it there before you bring peacock beach estate, where a house for sale can be within the range of ₦320,000,000. but then again, he says he does uber for fun, make i no just laugh.
You are an unfortunate person. If you use this kind of energy in matters concerning you I'm sure your pathetic life would be better than this. This is my last quote on you.
shepherdchurch: I started this business 2 years ago. Today I have 8 cars. You have been a blessing to me and I have learnt a lot from you. This is supposed to be business, no sentiments at all. Most drivers are heartless. Give a driver a brand new mint car not tokunbo o and tell him to remit 10k weekly, some drivers will still default. Doing business in the country is tough. The hardest part of doing business in Nigeria is getting honest employees. Dru keep doing what your're doing. Most drivers here will hate you for saying the truth.
That's how we roll bro.. na wetin I dey always talk back in the days when I was still driving full time. I hardly get disrespected from the slay mamas, oloshos, yahooboys etc. Cos if you self see me in front of you, I reiterate if you see me.. you wont even think of it.
sexylassie: Aren't you drivers especially those who pick up passengers from the airport scared of coronavirus, this virus is spreading like wild fire, in no time, this virus will land our shore, some uber and taxify drivers might be the first point of this virus, have you kept protective measures in place, know that if you catch this virus from a rider, this e hailing companies you worship so badly will abandon you.
This virus is in every almost continent except south america, in Africa, Algeria is the first country to have it, it was brought by an Italian who knew he had the virus.
Instead of arguing aimlessly, prepare for coronavirus because I am sure that when this virus land our shores, Lagos is in trouble, it will practically destroy our health care system.
I totally agree with you, we drivers should be proactive. The virus will definitely hit our shore soon.
For the point you made, your oven deserves to be lighted by my humble self
ndubuis: I don't understand the sentiment and compassion being shown to a thief by some folks here. She deserves to be stripped naked and horse wiped in public. How can anyone even be moved by her crocodile tears? What ever she got was fully deserved. She will learn from it. Others with the mindset of duping drivers will also learn from it because you will be shamed publicly in front of your friends and family members. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
Bro, everybody is a thief! It's a pity we dont get riders comments on how some drivers scammed them too.
Believe me, some drivers are from hell. I have seen drivers use saka, frauds, etc to scan riders too.
Nobody holy pass! I was scammed last week by queen Jackson but I let it slide after we bombed her phone with calls I'm sure that girl wont try it again for now atleast.
Going down to drag her parents it's not necessary.
deedee44: That person is a big for nothing fool, stupid coward who finds joy in hiding behind keyboard to destroy other people's lives.
What if this girl commits suicide? I'm sure she cant even go home to face her mum. Although she deserved it, but going hard to involve her parents was too much. My opinion tho
You guys are amazing..kudos for the recovery of the money. Please I beg all of una to free the girl, I called her and she was in tears someone sent the pics to her mum. I'm not defending her but guys let's calm down.
She used to be a good girl, she got carried away with drugs, bad friends etc. Please biko the remaining pics y'all should take down.
Yesterday I was gisting with my friends and I kept telling them " omo I need to light this oven" my guys were confused I later explained the meaning. This our slang go soon go viral.
Wish y'all a stress free and productive week ahead.
This is my 7th month and I never light any oven abi e get wetin I suppose do wey I no Dey do
Just look clean and presentable. Nice haircut clean shave, make your car always fresh and smelling nice.
Be firm when talking to the ladies look into thier eyes and lips (Note only the ones that says you are cute, I get that alot) before you go go tell Army officer wife/girlfriend.
Do this and watch how the ovens beg for your lighter
Felicity0001: What is wromg with all these taxify riders self?? They will request a ride, seat in the comfort of their parlor even when you check the arrive button they still won't call and when you call them they'll tell you "you're supposed to call me!"
Like, didnt you see that I've arrived? Very stupid people like say call charges in inclusive of the ride request.
Another one,
Accepted a request just now in magodo isheri side. Destination Apa pa. Got to pickup, I'd to wait for about 8min b4 the two girls came out that's even after I've called them.
Me: I'll have to go to your destination on two conditions. Girl 1: lets hear Me: either by uber trip or offline. Girl 1: I dont have uber on my phone Me: then download it Girl 1: I can't Girl 2: why do almost all bolt driver do this, this is annoying. Their complains continues... As they stepped out of the car Me: im sorry,
I just cancel and moved.
No be me go go apa pa for this kind night on taxify God for bit.
Bro you are right, 90% of taxify riders are full of shhiit! Anytime I get a request on taxify and I see it's a guy am always pissed like WTF! How can a guy be using taxify. It's kinda weird to me, cos I believe taxify was created for oloshos. My opinion tho.
I worked throughout the night and ended up on the island around 6am to sleep small. Around past 7, I got a request. It was a woman
Me: Where are you headed to? Her: Lagos island Me: Her:But you'll bring me back Me:
Got to the house and it was a big house. It wasn't a palace that we know. I parked outside too She came out and sat at the back. I greeted and asked if I could proceed
Her: No oh. Another person is coming
Then this man came out. He wore a jersey and shorts. I greeted him and we started driving out of the estate.
Me:Sir, please use the belt Her: No oh. He won't use it. Don't worry. Nobody will catch you Him: Let me use it. The owner of the car said I should
We got to Adeniji and she said they will use 20 minutes. They later used 50 minutes. All these while, I never knew he was a king. When they came back, the king gave the boy that carried the small nylon #2k.
After we finished, they said I should take them to Mandilas. This time, the man wasn't using the belt. I didn't talk sha
When we got to Mandilas, they went out and came back too. That was when I started to suspect I was carrying someone big. Touts just surround my car. Dem dey hail me and am together. I wanted to zoom off
King: No please, don't go. Let me give them something.
He brought notes and threw out the window.
As we were going, the wife wanted to buy one cream. The shop had a NO PARKING by LASTMA. She say make I park. I park . LASTMA showed up and blocked my car. She told me to wind down. As they saw her and him, Na so dem prostrate, they greet. I was shocked
After the whole drama, we went to his house and I drove in. See cars....Chai. He paid me handsomely.
When I was driving out, na so some boys block me, say make I find them something. Abi I no know say na King I carry?
Gave them #500 and zoomed away. I still remember this trip till today
I have another one, but make I rest small
[/color]
Izzou..I can imagine.
My own plenty, too picking up celebrities and all..
Also the day I drove G63 Gwagon bullet proof to the airport and the way I could stop/wait anywhere around the airport and getting salutes from this criminals.
Shout out to the ovens I've lighted on this job. Or the day I met my current employer. Cool lady sat in the front of my car we talked laughed etc. And now I'm working with her, my salary is humongous and working time is flexible. I fly to ph/abj atleast once in a week
We are not there yet, but I definitely dont look like what I have been thru.
She didnt pay.. I have moved on. Guys should just save her number..07063564520 queen Jackson so she wont scam you too. She's a thief a LovePeddler and a Liar

Oloburuku, omo ale jati jati
Me wey never even reach one year for this hustle no fit make this kind mistake surge or no surge
Well shit happens. We move
I just hope she pays
Lol bro no be so. We are all human, cos some riders are bad doesn't mean all the riders are bad. Ever wonder why things like this rarely happens on uber? I gave her that chance cos it's just 1600. I'm trying to save the next driver she might use and try this stunt. This will make her think again and also I'm sure she would tell her friends about this issue.
