Wey bad road go spoil and depreciate your car

Wey drivers dey earn chicken change except when surge dey.

Wey arm robber go kill drivers and collect their cars.

Wey Bolt go block your account anyhow without due process.

Wey go depreciate your esteem and self worth in a twinkle of an eye.

Wey go increase your stress level and damage your health.


And I can go on and on

But make I stop. I no wan discourage people

All these super chicks. Idiots didn’t qualify us for World Cup yet dey are abusing legends of the game. Ikpeba fit turn NFF chairman in future. No one knows tmrw.

From Bet9ja Ambassador to NFF Chairman, that would be a massive achievement. I hope he doesn't use that office to discipline the younger victor

Now he is talking like somebody that have sense.

Broda Lai... 10k in 5 hours, e b like you have fixed riders somewhere. Tomorrow Monday, it will take you at least 2/3 hours to get to island. And you will make the rest 6k BTW 3hours abi? Even yesterday drivers were complaining no surge, every where white. You see the newbies facing the reality of the hustle, I guess now they will agree with one fact, it is not as easy as you try to make it look. Everybody must collect breakfast for this hustle

Oops! Sorry, I forget you don't drive

The truth of the matter is that this hustle is longer what it used to be. This is what it looks like now

December[b]: make reasonable money, Big earnings, good fares, after expenses you have something to keep.



Out of 365 days in a year, you only make reasonable money in December.

Wear and tear would have affected your car so bad, Car would have depreciated

you wasted 335 days of your time driving people around Lagos on peanuts fares with little or no enough profit to save

There is no growth on the business. You re stagnant and in a rat race. Year in year out nah where u dey u dey.



You invested ₦3million car in the business: 2 years you haven't recoup half of your investment; all the money you are making are going into commissions, expenses, bills, repairs, mechanic, fuel stations and Law enforcement agencies.

You risk your health and wellbeing, you are involve in alot of stress and effort of driving long hours, still yet, you are underpaid chicken change. Once in a while they try to manipulate price with surge so as to keep u driving for them for years.


You take all manner of insults from small small girls that old enough to be your daughter.


This is slavery not Business they portrayed it to be.


If Nigeria happens to be an Arabian nation, all these foreign App coy that has come to enslave people. I swear their offices would have been burnt down by now.

It's time government step in and regulate all these nonsense. These companies using Nigerians as slaves to enrich themselves.

Enough is enough

They are all thieves and Looters. Bad leaders, nothing to celebrate about them

Osimhen vs Ikpeba statistics in France:


1. Victor Osimhen, 13 Goals

Lille youngster Victor Osimhen comes in at 7th place after an excellent maiden campaign in France.

The former U-17 World champion shrugged off a disappointing spell in Germany with Wolfsburg to bang in 20 goals for Sporting Charleroi last term.

If there were doubts about his goalscoring ability, Osimhen put them all to bed, with his 13 Ligue 1 goals confirming that the young striker knows his way past goalkeepers.

The 21-year-old’s consistent displays also saw him named in the league’s Team of the Season ahead of established stars like Wissam Ben Yedder.

Osimhen may, however, not get the chance to add to his tally and climb higher on these ratings, with Italian side Napoli reportedly close to securing his services.






2. Victor Ikpeba, 55 Goals

Monaco took a gamble on a little known Nigerian youngster, Victor Ikpeba, signed him from Belgian club RFC Liège, and a certain Arsene Wenger turned that rough diamond into the Prince of Monaco.

Ikpeba showed outstanding form in the months leading to the 1996 Olympics, scoring 13 league goals to help Monaco win the league title. That summer, he added an Olympics gold medal to his 1994 AFCON winners medal.

The following campaign, the Benin City-born star also finished as the second-top goalscorer in the UEFA Cup, and it came as no surprise when he was named the African Footballer of the Year in 1997.

By the time Ikpeba left France for Germany’s Borussia Dortmund in 1999, he had smashed in 76 goals in 217 games for Les Monégasques, 55 of which was registered in the Ligue


The boy need to be calming down when the prince is speaking.

Osimen is just 22years old, by the time he gets to 30, he would have achieved far more than ikpeba

DimIsaac10:
Blacks don't grow cos they hate criticism.
..
Blacks that grow love criticism. Especially from a senior colleague .

This isn't constructive criticism, he is trying to pulling down him with negative comments

DimIsaac10:
Since we have Abu, Mane, Salah around Nigerian players won't even smell African best...
How dare he insult Monaco prince, African best player winner, champion league winner and an established player...

To hell with the prince of Monaco and African footballer of the year.

I ve met Victor Ikpeba real life, he doesn't know how to talk, he is rude and saucy. I will support Osimen anyday anytime. Victor Ikpeba lacks common sense and Etiquette. The old fool should leave the young chap alone to enjoy his football career

Felicity0001:
No matter how hard working you're or how strengthful you feel don't driver 7days every week. Not good for your health. Experience will teach you about those two days i mentioned

.

During my active days of driving, chasing bonuses, trying to compete with guys who earn ₦200k plus i fell sick and went to hospital for treatment and check up. I was diagnosed of High Blood pressure: 210/160. The doctor was surprised I could still walk and talk. He asked me how i managed to come to the hospital by myself. B.P at that range is either sudden death, cardiac arrest or stroke. The whole of my body was burning especially the legs., Migraine, dizziness and weakness of the joints. The doctor did not allow me to go home that day. They had to admit me on sick bed, bp drugs they gave me reach like 6. I spent alot of money on treatment and test. Test were carried out on my kidney to know whether is still functioning

Driving for long hours 7 days a week is not healthy for the body at all. Driving for long hours can have an impact on one's health. Especially when you are stuck in traffic and sitting in your car, you may have to drive for way longer than expected. Long driving hours may be putting you at a very high risk of certain diseases and disorders.

Prolonged sitting is linked with a number of health problems and concerns like obesity, heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes and others.

police still dey hold u? I don't even want bolt to lift the curfew anyway trip wey person dey run 800- 1K on indriver now dem go spoil tinz 600 still Comot 25%, the least i do from cubana isaac john to rumors oduduwa way is 800 that trip will be 600 on bolt

. As in those short trips @ ₦800, ₦1000 on inDriver is better than so many useless short trips on Bolt. 5 good shorts around Ikeja @ those curfew hours will fetch like 5k plus easily.

ReadaDream:
Good day gentlemen..

Please how can I balance this ?

My driver score is good but I still get blocked for cancelation. Just completed a week ban. Next might be indefinite

Oga it can't be balanced
The app is literally saying you must do majority of the trip request u get. My advice is Do the ones you can do and decline the ones you can't do, if them block you indefinitely. Look for another work. This work is don cast. It's a big mess now.

. Any driver seen working on the day of strike destroy his or her car that day. Enough of this exploitation. If possible nah to go bomb their offices.

Alot of hearts will be broken on 25th March 2022

davit:
Your riders must have given you low rating. Chasing bonus now is risky o

Playstore might remove Bolt app if it falls under 1star

Bolt rating don fall yakata, from 4.2 to 1.8 within 1week. Allah Akbar !

eyinola:
power dey drivres hand, e be like we don't just know

Bolt rating on playstore is not good so many negative reviews.

Lol

73O9:
Now bolt have accomplished what they wanted.

It now means drivers are now more like zombies.

Modern day Slavery.

Drivers don't know the power they possess yet.

That's why Bolt is using them to play ping pong.


With inDriver and Rida, I am in control of my movement for the day and still pay their commission conviniently without stress

Kobe Bean Bryant : AKA the Black Mamba pained me the most. That Sunday afternoon When CNN announced it I could not believe it, it was just like film. I couldn't sleep that night. I was crying in my dream and tears came out of my eyes physically on my bed that night. It was as if I lost someone so close to me. The only time I felt that way was when I lost my mum.

I wished it was a rumour. Kobe inspired me Alot, his never give up mentality help me achieve some great things in life I have today. He never gives up in any competition. He always wants to win, He has this mental toughness very similar to Michael Jordan.

So unfortunate he died a horrible death. He died in Helicopter crash with his with loving daughter GiGi.

May his Soul continually Rest in Peace

Unibenfucker:
As of 2020
Uber has 5 million drivers while Didi has 15 Million drivers world wide. When is Didi coming to Nigeria?

Soonest

Pearl1910:
U don't want to demystify yourself but u went ahead to write history of how u built Uber and Bolt and how Uche, Femi and Nonso came to beg u on their knees.
Guy, lying is bad...still lying after being caught is demonic. U need deliverance, that's one important thing u should go and do right now.
There is no issue to let slide.

Guy go rest.

Pearl1910:
Lolz grandpa ...I no struggle position with u o. I never claim to be d oldest in d game. I was still in paid employment in 2015 when u lie to have started driving Uber/Bolt. But it's evident u were begging for car after undergoing Bolt and Uber training in June 2019.
My own is to set records straight and make logical arguments. If u make false claim, I dey here to correct u, except I no sabi d truth.

At my age I wouldn't demystify myself engaging in an unnecessary argument with you on this thread. We built Bolt to this level u staffs are enjoying now. All my previous post nah packaging. If u don't get it, forget about it.

Let me just allow this issue slide and move to other things more important.

Person don come school our uche pearl1910.... wonders shall never end on this thread.

Pearl1910:
Lolz ..I laugh in pigin...u r obviously a novice or a newbie.
What are you saying? Indriver and Rida are making life easier for Drivers?? Bia are you a driver, reader or a journalist.

Yea...I know DiDi Is planning to come to Nigeria but that's not the competition I would love. Infact, DiDi will make things worst like Indrive is doing.
I prefer an American or European Company like Lyft. They are the ones that value work, services and human effort but if we say all everybody should port to a better company with better fares people like u will still jump on cheap fares.
Uber tried to maintain their stand on pricing and to give drivers a better chance but people jumped to Bolt that brought prices down and they had no choice than to run after d crowd.
U r just running your mouth whether u r a driver or a rider or u can't even afford a Bolt ride, when the chips are down u will be nowhere to be found.

Back to why I quoted u, I just thought u r someone who is a regular commenter on this thread but recently decided to post with a different monicker. Hence, I humorously said u should identify yourself. I thought wrong.

The likes of Romeo, Ogunvic, Ifeanyi Mark and I and so on were the first set of drivers to sign up with BOLT in 2015 when they were still in 2 bed room office at Admiralty beside Forte oil Lekki phase 1.

That's like 7 years back. Then Uche, Femi and Nonso the founders of BOLT use to beg us on their knees to register with Bolt. They were ones training drivers. No employees like u guys back then, just 3 of them running the whole thing. Now dem don get money bought a very big office at SALEM. Employ staffs like u and Spread across to other states in N geria

Bro we made Bolt what it is today. I smiled when u said I am newbie. "Ki lo omode Mo" pathetic assumption . Nah our sweat Bolt take grow into Big brand yet no good compensation to drivers. Drivers are working like elephant and earning like ants. They only make good money during festive periods.

Bolt fares used to be much higher then and 15% commission was there share. 50k was weekly rentals drivers pay to car owners. Drivers can make 100k in 2 days during winter period. Now they reduced their fares, introduced cash discount and increase commission to 25%. Is that a growth or decline for Drivers? That's absolutel punishment and sufferness.

Let me correct you on this, we all moved to Bolt because Uber reduced their fares by 40% in 2017 April 17th, there was a massive protest at National stadium, But Uber remained adamant that they would make their fare as cheap as small chops. Drivers angrily left their platform, Now they are shadow of themselves. Bolt took advantage of this situation and launch their brand into prominence. And Bolt fare was far better than Uber as at that time.

As per you preferring Lyft coming to Nigeria to compete with Bolt, I dont think they will succeed. I don't see them adjusting their policies to suit Nigerian market. Nigerian business environment too harsh for foreign multi national to thrive. Uber is an example, the reason why they lost so many drivers today is because of their useless American policies in an African market where alot factors works against businesses. It's only the Chinese that can compete with Bolt, these guys understand any business environment they find themselves. Dudi is already giving Bolt a run for their money in S.A. Alot of drivers are leaving Bolt platform over there.

Abeg tell your Oga "Uche" that boys are not smilling. We are not happy with the fares. There is hyper inflation in country at moment. Things don cost. But fares are not increasing, still remains the same. How will drivers survive. Alot of them are living hand to mouth. No financial progress year in year out dem dey where dem dey.

Pearl1910:
Reveal yourself...why are you using a new monicker?

Like someone said, u re a Bolt agent here to spy and rip of information from hard working drivers. Una cup go soon full one day. You think u can monopolize the market for a longtime. inDriver, Rida and other apps are making things easier, u guys are busy making life difficult for drivers with cheap cheap fares and high commission and useless policy.

Let me burst your brain, One of the biggest ehailing app in China is coming to Nigeria very soon. We will leave your useless app the way we left Uber years ago. Una go employ una staffs Las Las to move Lagos.

Useless, ungrateful, insensitive shady App coy

Una time of reign will soon be over.

IFSHR:
I no gree update o ..I know two people that was blocked today for the driver's score and they were asked to retake online class...

Bolt no want make boys dey select trips again, They introduce driver score so that driver will literally do every trips that comes their way whether to bad places or good places. They know if they keep using rating, drivers will reject useless and unprofitable trips and still maintain high Rating. With this new feature, drivers performance is not base on rating again but amount of trips they do.

Bolt expects drivers to be doing ₦500 trips with AC fully on in this Present state of Economy. They burn fuel on a short trip and still being paid peanuts. ₦500 trips they have been charging since 7 years ago. Like prices of goods and services hasn't increased. Which auto parts or accessories can ₦500 buy in this Present dispensation ? Nothing!!!

They expect drivers to take their car to bad roads and damage it and still pay them commission of 25% all in the name of Drivers score. That's not f**king possible. Cars part prices now is killing. Tokunbo tyres that I use to buy for 7k is now 15k, not to talk of other spare parts.

This new feature is to enslave drivers the more, it is inhumane and barbaric.

I don't support it.

Abeg make him come before march.

The man head strong gan. After they sacked him, a whole Super Eagles couldn't pass second round. It rarely happens. Quarter final and semifinal or final is when the Eagles got eliminated in past Nations Cup. We might not even qualify for Worldcup. Nff needs to resolve issues with this man. I heard they are owing him
