Politics / Re: See why the Coastal Highway In Nigeria Is Impossible by northbird: 1:03pm |
Christistruth00: Blame your incompetent governors and compromised local Chiefs. All Niger Delta states receive oil derivation funds apart from the monthly Allocation from the FG. What have they done so far with it?. Ogun state doesn't receive 60 % of what Delta gets. Yet, its the manufacturing hub of the country. When are you going to hold the leaders of the Niger Delta responsible for the gross neglect of its own people. |

The challenge with drivers who get stuck in ehailing is "they don't take time off". Driving typically drains mental energy which is much needed in critical thinking and mapping out exit solutions. Not every ehailing driver can be a fleet manager. ( reason why not every musical artiste can float a record label) .One needs a specialised skillset to handle cars and rental drivers wahala. And with the current cost of cars, the ROI on renting cars is not encouraging.. Some will ask why the time off, it's needed to make reflections and allow a flow of the idea stream. But when drivers still do 6 full days in a week , that will never happen. If you are strategic, what you earn in 6 days can be earned in 4 days. giving you 2-3 FREE days /week to brainstorm. 4 Likes |

Kaymaxi2222: . As per rider discount, you are not taking the brunt. Bolt is giving riders part or all of the commission you were supposed to pay. Let's run a scenario. If the trip ends 5000 .. Bolt says " collect 3500 From RiderX , Bolt will add 1500." From that trip, you are meant to pay Bolt 25% ( its actually around 24.3 - 24.6%) commission. This amounts to 1,250. This is the amount they gave as discount to the rider. So Bolt adds the remaining 250 naira as CREDIT to your Pocket balance in the app. There's no confusion. As per downsizing.,Benin n PH staff were mostly affected, PH and Benin are not really lucrative for ehailing, PH is overrated, a lot of it's residents can't afford ehailing. As per Lagos, Bolt has not been making money like it used to. Coupled with the senseless blocking of their revenue agents ( drivers) on flimsy issues on acceptance rates n driver's score. Let's say you have 4000 drivers delivering, then you pursued 1500 out of pride. Obviously, a revenue drop should be expected. Bolt can't leave Nigeria esp Lagos ..I feel the editor / journalist just added that rider to make the article sensational 2 Likes |

XPaul: Start with the main apps.. Uber/Bolt. Don't chase targets. Work only when there's surge. As a newbie, if you are working on Bolt/Uber without surge, you are just flogging the car with minimal gains. E hailing cpys won't tell you this, they are just going to confuse you with deceptive ads on Facebook . Go to areas you know and are familiar with. If you reside on the island. I will advise you take trips only on the island for now. If you need a list of all the terrible areas. Go and read back on the thread . 3 Likes |

That singular acceptance suspension will really affect Indrive because a lot of drivers will rather take timely surge trips on Bolt than wait endlessly bidding for trips on Indrive. 1 Like 1 Share |

@ realtol.. Is your car sound? Engine ,gear, AC can you drive properly? Is your other partner working.? Do you have savings to cover wife n son expense for @ least 2 months.,? Your decision lies in those answers BTW,ehailing prices in Abuja is rubbish.. Don't try going to Abuja. Average residents in Abuja are not financially bouyant. I wonder how drivers on Bolt make ends meet in Abuja. The same corrolla, dirty fares. 3 Likes |

But on the flip side, it's a good move from Bolt, more drivers will port back ... a lot of drivers don't mind paying 25% .. provided they are guaranteed a stream of back to back trips which is a trademark of Bolt . 3 Likes |

The competition really hit Bolt. . Riders will be ordering, and drivers will be 15 -20 mins away, something unheard of on Bolt. Riders will order in some areas and Bolt will be busy. ... Indrive mopped up every available tool ( drivers and their cars) and engaged them. I learnt from this episode. No one is really indispensable.. 5 Likes |

Bolt waking up from slumber. Indrive has taken up most of their drivers. As Gen.zodd mentioned, ehailing has evolved. The days of acceptance rate n driver rate n destination bla bla are gone. .. Every driver is first concerned about his vehicle before any app out there. Hardex that I bought a keg 15k in 2022. is selling for 30k presently. Parts are out of the roof 3 Likes 1 Share |

jpworld: What I don't understand is, I'm sure there is a central motor registry. Licensing office too. The vin and chassis numbers are still intact. So how were they able to bypass the vehicle registration.. If it was a serious case then, I'm sure the chassis n reg no. would have been filed with the police. Most dealers can easily fall victim of this. Because most of them just look for cuts on car deals nowadays.. not knowing the car might have issues. 1 Like |

Kaymaxi2222: This is what I wanted to mention " the danger of staying in the comfort zone".. This happens to most drivers.. 250k/month might excite maybe a graduate trainee , but not for people having over 10 years post nysc. It's not even the driving per se. But the ability to control your time. That freedom is priceless. |

BAZ001: A lot of drivers are better off in terms of remuneration. I stated some leakages up there. Without proper planning, huge revenues might not mean much. Baz, you hv been away for some time. Things have changed. You can't be earning 80k/month in Lagos and think of travelling out. 2 Likes |

I smile when I look at the suit and tie folks at V.I .. in the evening, they all run to Indrive when Bolt/Uber is surging. In terms of remuneration, a lot of drivers are better off. The challenge is to look for the leakages and plan properly. Personally, I will suggest drivers to have an Ajo or Automatic deduct savings plan. This helps in prudent spending and to maximise the income left. I'm not against socialising, but I know some guys that take 2 baba dudu @ least 5 times a week with extra baggage ,call girls, shisha n other stuff. Give or take that's a shortage of @ least 150k monthly. But a daily Ajo will check any excessive spending. Using Indrive has taught me patience, I don't bother myself anymore. I go only to places where there are no problems. I don't allow any app to rush me again. Easy..No rushing again. 5 or 6 trips .I'm done. 7 Likes |
