You're going too far sir, AC is not a standard even in Nigeria! Here in Abuja (as anyone who has used the service here can attest to) as hot as the weather, it's one in 10 bolt ride that drives with AC on. (You can go and verify)
The same Bolt App, Same Country! There's no basis to assume superhuman because you drive with AC, it's a choice, once we see Lagos people for Abuja we must know! Very entitled lots and we dey put them for their place. The drive it to take you from Point A to B safely.

Una don really spoil them for that una Lagos sha.

cyif2003:
I beg to disagree with u. Standard is standard.... Na as fuel price go up people no dey on a c. But does a.c reduce d fuel in a car So kus of fuel I go come dey inhale all smell wey full Lagos state. Pls and pls let's say d open truth. I never off a c except d rider say he or she does not want it..d only advice I will give d rider in question is dat once u book a rider always drop a msg asking if d a.c is working. So he or she can no his or her faith.. money sef is not easy to be made to for everyone...
Additionally d rider can book bolt comfort..
Na bolt I blame for this whole tin.
They have no standard at all

Lol, Bros abeg I no wan laugh this morning.
I thought I am the only one noticing it, some even come with cars that you can never imagine but we keep cool after all everybody is managing to survive.

HelenaWills:
Some drivers too could be quite greedy sha.
On Saturday morning, around 1:30 AM, I booked a ride from GUO Jibowu to Magodo.
Indrive suggested #6400 or thereabouts and I increased it to 12k.

Drivers were still bidding higher....
Like WTF!!

sandammy:
No be the rider's fault, it's the stupid bolt that's fighting in the mud with indrive by offering stupid prices to riders, just like indrive is doing just to remain in business. Instead for bolt to be looking up at uber but bolt must always find another app to copy copy. No genuity.

If its that easy to maintain vehicles in this country today, couple with the price of fuel, why hasn't bolt partner with a company to supply them vehicles like uber did so that they can have their own vehicle plying Lagos roads?but they won't do that but can set stupid prices with bogus commission for drivers to accept.
Booking a whole vehicle to take you alone shouldn't be for every Dick, Tom and Harry. It should be considered as a luxury but it's only in Nigeria that it has been made so cheap by these app companies.

Next time he should enter public transport or the yellow cab he mentioned if he won't pay the yellow cab x10 of what stupid bolt and indrive are charging and yet yellow cab won't offer him AC because it has non to begin with.

I reported a bolt driver yesterday, I hope action is taken and I will continue to report other drivers that misbehave. You guys make bolt very unsafe and give a bad name to Nigerians. Imagine me booking a ride, you accept and then start complaining about the money and the fact that passengers still want AC. Before nko, if i wanted a non-AC cab, I would have used the normal Lagos state yellow taxi. If you as a driver doesn't like the amount, then don't accept the ride.

What annoyed me was after I arrived and had made payment, I realized the driver cancelled the ride. I couldn't get the receipt to ask for a refund from my company. Imagine if it was my mother I booked the ride for and he cancelled it just so he can make money offline, that means I won't be able to monitor the rides movement on the app. If he had kidnapped me nko, the company won't know because he drove offline. My anger isn't that he took the ride offline, but that he did it without my consent and put me at risk.
Anyway I have submitted my proof to bolt, I await their response. I will continue to report other drivers that misbehave, na una dey spoil this country.

Sorry bout ur ordeal. My only issue is the non ac issue. Bro the fares for hailing is such that accommodates just ur transportation to ur destination with/without AC. IF u wanted a sure AC car book bolt comfort but u cannot book basic or regular and except 💯.

Me I use a for MYSELF not cause of any rider. But I agree with you that he acted unprofessional by going offline and endangering ur life. Sorry for ur ordeal

And this one will still come and be feeling entitled

Kaymaxi2222:
yeah its a serious one and the solution to yours was exactly what we did the car is working fine now so far I hope it is a permanent testimony oo

Kaymaxi2222:
well I am not part of those that post dashboard anyhow cause I know how much I spend on my car just to keep it in standard, since Friday now my car dey with mech because I use the gearbox to hit something and my gear oil is dripping from there. So I know how it is

ksmart027:
Men dey vex ooo

samuelson06:
The problem with studying one thing and ending up doing a totally different thing is that you'll hardly move up the career ladder in your chosen career because you don't have a background there. Banks intentionally exploit this loophole so they can keep their staff in one tiny spot—doing so much and earning little. I wouldn't advise anyone go this route. It's always limiting because your employer will always use that weakness to exploit you.

jesusjnr2020:
I don't discourage the showcasing of one's talent to the public however to what purpose in a supposed place of worship?

It just doesn't look right to me.

Except it wasn't a worship or prayer service.
Sadly y'all seem to miss the point that the purpose of gathering in church isn't to showcase man but God. Therefore it's not about how much relevance or how many people from how many countries were gathered, but the purpose they were gathered.

If so many youths were gathered and following the program, it even makes the error worse, because it wasn't exemplary to encourage such a thing in the church, especially in a day and age when many in the church, including the youths, have become as distracted from God than ever and focused on themselves and men.

When the centurion came and ignorantly bowed down to Peter, even though it wasn't in a church building, Peter still made him realize the error in that even though he could have just ignored him, so that's what's expected from a good church leader because even the youths can make mistakes, but it's up to their leaders to correct them and give them the right example to follow.

A church youth focused on drawing Oyedepo instead of God while Church service was going on, and you're still asking what's wrong with that? Today's church has really lost it! SMH!

maasoap:
Mehn! All the arrested six men sustained injuries and all died on their way to the hospital!!
What actually happened was that all the six arrested suspects were killed in anger after the alleged hijacking was unsuccessful. Same thing happened in Osun state some years back when the hijacking of prisoners from the prison van by their colleagues failed, the suspects/prisoners were executed on the spot

Eyinola1:

lexylexy:
Nice one. Please can I get the seller's contact? I might need one for Corolla

Gradually freedom of expression is being strangulated because of desperation to migrate. I rather remain in Africa than subject myself to stupid scrutiny. America is not heaven

I must admit I do admire all the tips you do contribute for motivation and inspiration especially for the new guys and the aspiring ones intending to join the hustle...

If ur guy's car got faulty 2km from destination in isawo-ikorodu then I am very sure he would have had it moved somewhere safe and would get a hotel close by to stay...

Please what hotel did he stay overnight for 30k cos I want to check something..

@ Nelochukwu
Complete fuel assembly should cost between 80-150k depending on source.
You can Check jiji for your car model.
I think berachants sells Bosch fuel pump too

Replace with OEM complete fuel pump assay.

I really don't know how fuel pumps just kaput here.
My car still uses its denso fuel pump and assay from when I bought it new.

He should also avoid driving on reserve fuel level.

Wow, if this is your story, it’s a privilege to still have you here in the community inspiring people on how to go about the hustle.

Much respect to you 🫡

I dropped my resignation letter today for one month notification.
Own a car and I just changed the engine...
I use to do bolt weekends and evening after works here in ibadan but presently things are really difficult and hustling in ibadan is another story and for the fact that I earn 70k monthly and own my car breaks my heart every day because I have some people on hire purchase here in ibadan paying 70k plus weekly.
Now I took a bold step resigning and ready to face hustle fully by coming to Lagos ending of this month.
Please Ogas in the house I need guidance and mentors.
I drives yaris salon and everything is working. Thank you all

My prayer is for every partner-driver to buy their own vehicle before the start of 2026.
