Escaped a Finely planned assassination just because I went to crossover night,might not be the night in particular but I prayed from my heart that night. The rest is history

Believe it or not . Those few minutes and after, those moments something is usually happening in the cosmic so key to it positively

You were spared for a purpose.. it had nothing to do with going for cross over....

Owerri drivers are something else. The no send bolt at all

Owerri had a robust taxi/ car hire system before Bolt entered the city..
The only play Bolt had was to lower fares way below the prevailing price system so that they could compete...

I heard artisans /mechanics, rewire techs are quite pricey overthere. So, as a player in that industry , you need to charge premium too, so that you can get some profit.

..no offense but you wasted your time and energy doing this marathon using UBER as main app.. you need to understand that there's no loyalty in this game. You need to know when to switch sides.

Don't let there nonsense bonus deceive.. Uber is absolute waste of time and energy this period Carefully select your trips on indrive and watch your earnings grow..

💯 ..well said..
I still don't get to see the fare increase Uber has been yapping about..

See ,temu is a real coded scam ,even if you read reviews and description you can still fall for thier scam,I bought shoe only to discover it's Styrofoam, they didn't include that in the description,beware of temu, and always check price that is realistic,they sold 45k bicycle to a friend, imagine they didn't include it in description as toy ooooo or miniature or model.just mountain bicycles

The dimensions are always there in the advert..

all the exams wey I don write for school and professional exams wey person still dey write don do me. She can keep her TEST SCRIPT TO HERSELF.

The only question here should be; why is she pained by the mans refusing to buy her food that she had to set ring light to make a post about it

I heard she requested for an extra piece of turkey to her portion. .. with the hope that the guy was going to pay. Before the guy gave her a shocker ..
I have never seen such crazy entitlement like that.
Less than an hour of meeting.. billing has started.

CaptainGo:
I was wondering too. Makes no sense.
How can an hour drive be 2,600?

That's Indrive for you.The shop/merchandise owner won't take responsibility. There are better and more reliable courier services. But they will be looking for cheap offers to send expensive items.

Go to Moove office. Start with rentals and build up your savings.

This is my issue with Eyesoflagos posts and most netizens. They believe Nigeria begins in Lagos and ends up at Abuja.

Approximately more than 10% of the country's population, to me, it seems a fair sample representation.

ksmart027:
If the Civic is well maintained go for it, you can't compare a 2015 car to a 2007 car.

NB: the 2015 Honda Civic comes with cvt not automatic, i hope you know the difference?? If you can't maintain the civic, jejely go for the Corolla

2015 car for which kind of prices? .. Bolt/ Uber will still churn useless fares for the car .The riders that are ready to pay premium are on Lagride n Cabzero.
Even Moove withdrew all their 2014 corrolla cars from Uber.
The lower the car year the better Ops chances of recovering back his investment.

Jamie90:
My bosses, I am torn between making a decision for this hustle. Between a 2007 Corolla toks and a registered 2015 civic that was brought in 2020, which is better.

Toks Corolla

TechToyin:
How can I contact you sir

You can dm me. Please, I don't have a job to give you. I'm just sharing tips on how to cut off endless job scouting draining your energy and scarce resources especially in Kaduna.

Look for the hidden niches. If your sciences is sharp .. you can clean 80-100k monthly without breaking a sweat. At least , that will help you in keeping with personal expenses (feeding, transport n co)


Focus on your immediate skillsset. Then you build from there.
If I was a website guy , this is what i would do . I will walk up to 10 organisations daily. Show them my portfolio and the kind of Websites I can build for them.. some will tell you "they are not interested " but keep the number going.
Charge them moderately. 4-5 page website is.ok.

In 5 days. You have scouted 50 places
Vifredo Pareto law. At least 20% of those leads will get back to you. Out of 10 leads at least 5 will score.

TechToyin:
I can speak Yoruba
Yes my sciences are sharp

I was actually referring to Hausa.
That means you are bi-lingual ( your mother tongue and that of your resident location) , you are at a serious advantage. What's your discipline in school? Since you are a Web guy. I'm suprised you are still looking for a job. Anyways.. that's the first step I outlined below.

You don't need to borrow money again. If you want a salaried job based in Kaduna. You are going to import it from Lagos. It might take some
time, but it needs mental toughness, perseverance which you didn't display.. your first rejection and you sounded frustrated.
You need to be in high spirits, Padre. . You need to toughen up.

You need money to survive, the easiest job to get since your sciences are sharp, Your Mathematics must be very sharp, like Razor sharp to be considered. start as a Science teacher in a good private school..
Your target is Kaduna North. Time is of essence. . Already gave you a hint on one of the schools. I don't know whether you stay in Barnawa/Kaduna south. The big 8 schools in Kaduna North.

When that is settled, then I will give you the skills needed to ping a job from Lagos while resident in Kaduna.

Pearl1910:
They decided to reduce prices, but aren't proud of the new income associated with the new price regime. Shame on them.

It's such a huge shame on the app companies (Indrive, Bolt, Uber). They only think about their profits ( commissions).

Gentlelife50:
Thank you, unless he is ready for the rude shock.

Lately, Bolt n Indrive has been doctoring earnings of drivers on Social media to lure in more gullible investors n drivers...

TechToyin:
Hi

Can you speak the resident local language. ? What's your discipline? Since you are a tech guy your sciences , are they sharp?

TechToyin:
This morning I woke up on the bright side, hopeful about starting my journey after NYSC.

I saw the notice about Kaduna Polytechnic and prepared myself fully. I borrowed ₦5,000 just for transport and photocopying, since they said we must bring 10 photocopies of all credentials. I printed my CV, wrote an application letter, and made 10 copies each of my NYSC certificate, statement of result, and other documents.

This was my first application after NYSC, so I gave it my all.

When I got to the Central Administrative Block, to my shock, they simply told me it was closed.

Just yesterday, there was no notice of any deadline. Today, I’m left stranded — transport wasted, photocopies wasted, money wasted.

Right now, I honestly feel depressed. I struggled to put this money together, only for everything to go down the drain without even getting the chance to submit.

Sometimes it feels like the system doesn’t care how much we struggle as young people trying to build our future.

Your moniker implies you are from the southwest extraction. Can you speak the local language? With or without. You can get a job for yourself..
I will advise you to shun anything government for now.. it's mostly by connections. Zero merit.
If you are ready, reply the meesage n I will give you tips to start from scratch.

hardiodun:
Good morning Uber partners. I don't drive, but I'm interested in investing in the Uber fleet business. Please can anyone guide me on how it works? Thank you.

Invest in other businesses. ROI as an investor in ehailing is very poor.

Why has 26 years of ebilokan a-looter master plan failed to yield the advance economy instead of the waterless glorified ghetto of barely educated agberos in the less than 5% public schools?

Any explanation

That's the only Nigerian city cited in that report. It means it is quite significant to the international community, that should tell you something. Yes, there are areas where improvements are needed.

But ask yourself, where are the other Nigerian states and their governors , they can't be found on the international map...
If other states and governors were pushing their weights, Lagos won't have this population issue with its attendant challenges.

I have always maintained it. If there's going to be any semblance of an advanced economy in Nigeria. Lagos is going to be the first state to achieve it. The reason being that it strives to employ brilliant people to head it's various agencies.

Biodun1929:
80k in a day? Whoa! Let's say fuel used is like 25k...that's like 55k made in a day. If you work 20 days out of 30 days in a month, that's 1.1 million. A million.naira a month from driving is freaking impressive.

. Counting your chickens before they hatch. Easy .. easy .Champ.

Biodun1929:
Lol...sorry, this usually happens to me on Uber app, it has never happened to me on Indrive. Majority of my indrive riders are always ontime and respect time. Na Uber riders dey always feel like say you be their driver. Do you know yesterday, I got one ride from Mangoro to Isaac John in Ikeja. I was at akowonjo. I called this girl to ask if she wants me to come, cos the pickup time was 20 minutes. She said I should come. I blow reach her estate for mangoro. As I was about to let her know I was 2 minutes away, she cancelled the ride. Chai. I wan cry. This cancellation thing always happens to me on Uber, never on InDrive.

You shouldn't go more than 2km or 10 mins to pick a rider .
Max 3km. If you are going to exceed that. It must be a very juicy trip , like a trip that can give you @ least 40% of your daily target earnings.

Uber will wear you and your car out with out of range trips. Be careful with that app.

Glithronix:
And still better and more profitable than the first one that carries 714/km.
All the same sha, God no go shame us.
BTW, something has been causing traffic on Ojodu Berger expressway since yesterday, I noticed, you know wetin dey cause am?


Much respect, boss.

Redeem Convention

Though coming to lock up houses might be overboard. But a lot of Nigerians are very difficult when it comes to community projects.
They don't like paying for security and developmental fees.

For instance, in Lagos, I'm suprised when they have to coerce adults with cars to pay for their street security.
A single breach could cause burglers to go away with dozens of brainboxes and other car items worth millions. But if there's cooperation, such incidents can be averted.

lovebird65:
He will be the one to buy the fuel
And he is saying he'll pay 500k last[b] but he can still drive himself going and coming back[/b]

Drive your car. It's your asset. Take responsibility. Cars are not cheap in the market. If you are going to the S.east. ensure your car documents are water tight.

Pearl1910:
It is well, I understand.
The last place a Soldier will want to misbehave is inside the barracks. They are under serious disciplinary protocols.So he would have definitely had a lot of explaining to do if u went to the right authority to find out why ur car is withheld from u.

This is very true. They don't allow abuse of office especially Military-civilian relationships.

Doris4ever:
This is the WhatsApp receipts I sent to him showing this week Monday and upper Monday. I don't owe him a dime as I write this.

Follow what Pearl said. Get a printed copy of all the receipts from day one. .

But I hope you didn't miss payments and there aren't other issues because, no reasonable businessman will suddenly terminate a viable business relationship.

Alusiizizi:
I suppose that's a reasonable expectation, but at the same time, it shouldn't be terribly difficult for one to plan towards such a goal. Even if the modern machinery to process the raw product is not available surely it shouldn't be impossible to improvise. Afterall, all that one requires to make akamu is a grinder, and that's but one example.

How are you going to market the "Akamu"?because at that stage, it becomes perishable.
Vertical integration is only for folks with serious cash flow.

safarifarms:
Do you know how he treated them? One of the guys who worked with him and exposed many of his atrocities did so because he won't pay the guy for his work instead wanted to sleep with the guy before paying him.

Guy is a pervert.. too many demons in him. You know he wanted to try that shit with 50. But 50 cents put him straight in his place.

Mirasteel:
Which person in the entertainment industry has ever helped anyone for free?

So why is the other chap saying nobody stood up for him ? If it's not free, that means no artiste ( upcoming or already made) from his label owes him any shit.

Ironfaceman:
Life is strange puff daddy made lot of artist but I don't see any standing up for him. Not that his a Saint but musicians and sex are inseperable.

In life you can never know your friends.

He's a pervert. He has never helped any artist for free. What in the name of God will make you sleep with male artistes? Yuck.... Even animals do better..

It is funny when a lizard thinks and sees himself as a crocodile.


Tinubu became Nigeria's President through the help of Northern Nigeria political elites.


The first person that gave Tinubu's 2023 Presidential ambition life was no other person but Mallam Nasir El Rufai who single handedly convinced Northern Governors to allow Presidency go back to Southern Nigeria and also convinced Buhari to stop the emergence of former Senate President Ahmed Lawan as APC Presidential flag bearer.


After El Rufai's masterstroke, comes that of Aisha Buhari who convinced her husband to support Tinubu for the sake of posterity, as insiders revealed that Aisha reminded Buhari of how Tinubu played key role in his emergence as President in 2015. According to those very close to both Aisha and Buhari, they said Aisha Buhari's continuous emotional appeal to her husband made Buhari confused because Buhari never wanted Tinubu to succeed him, but with Aisha's constant pressure, Buhari became confused and decided to remain neutral.


The North never wanted Tinubu to emerge President but they were helpless in the sense that if they refused to support Tinubu, the Presidency would slip into the hands of the opposition, which is a Haram in politics; it is better to allow power remain in your party than go the opposition way. For this singular reason, all the Northern APC politicians decided to work for Tinubu hoping that Tinubu's health would fail before the end of his first tenure so that their brother Shettima would take over from Tinubu like Goodluck did from Yaradua.


This paved way for Tinubu.


Next, the INEC Chairman Yakubu.

This man did the final job for Tinubu


Without Northerners, Tinubu stood no chance as he was already preparing to decamp to SDP his spare car should the APC Primaries failed to favor him.


Despite all the help from the incumbent government to Tinubu, Tinubu still failed to clinch the required vote because of his Muslim-Muslim ticket and his notorious personality as a Lagos political godfather which many Nigerians despise, INEC had to breach their election promises by switching off the polling unit result upload for only Presidential election results just to give room for results to be manipulated manually in favor of Tinubu, at the end, Tinubu was declared winner against too many odds.


Instead of Tinubu to surprise Nigerians and shut the mouth of his former critics by delivering quality leadership as an unpopular President, Tinubu allowed political sycophants and their praisesinging to get into his head and he started seeing himself as a demigod bigger than Nigeria. Tinubu became too arrogant to a fault and started seeing Nigeria as his newly conquered territory after Lagos state.


He talks with absolute arrogance and unleashed arrogant media handlers and social media influencers and support groups who kept rubbing Tinubu's demigod status on the faces of all Nigerians, as they bragged that nobody can challenge Tinubu, while some even hailed Tinubu as the god of politics who is only second after God himself, you can imagine the arrogance and effrontery


Next, Tinubu in his own hallucinations forgot the Northern politicians that made him President and decided to take Buhari's nepotism to a whole new level in his own regime by stuffing his Yoruba tribesmen into every key and viable political positions in Nigeria. It wouldn't have mattered if these people he was busy appointing into all available positions were performing, Nigerians wouldn't have cared much, but they were not performing at all as the economy sank deeper and deeper while Tinubu's team used media to lie to themselves that all is well, that soon Nigeria will become Dubai.


Tinubu's continued directionless policies continued to worsen Nigeria's economy, more Nigerians got pushed into poverty and Japa became the greatest achievement of every Nigerian, those in the healthcare sector started looking for any available country to migrate to at any cost just to evade the dying Nigeria's economy under Tinubu.


When opposition complain, Tinubu's hired social media and Internet data team countered them and shut them down with demeaning words, boasting that whether they like it or not, that Tinubu will be reelected and after Tinubu, he would single handedly install his Vice or National Security Adviser as the next President to continue with his so called master blueprint to turn Nigeria to Japan


Tinubu then worsened his political woes by betraying Nasir El Rufai, Buhari's bloc while shunning the Southeasterners completely as he and his supporters always bragged that Easterners have no say or weight in Nigeria's politics. Tinubu started seeing Wike as the biggest political asset that he needs to succeed politically and therefore, he only needed to do a coastal highway from Lagos to SouthSouth, award pipeline security contract to one of the strongest Niger Delta ex militant leader Tompolo to win the SouthSouth, while he did one or two things in the Middlebelt hoping to also win that region.

You obviously don't understand politics. You think the coalition is about Nigerians or the masses.
