Guys been a while here.Hope you guys are holding on? Abeg make una no loose hope o...I want to quickly add that pls be careful when getting a nig used car.. A colleague of mine sold his car ( a 2005 Camry) about 6 weeks ago and d new owner took it to PH where he reside..Got arrested in ph after like a month.The claim here is that car was stolen about 4 years ago and the owner was killed! Seller (my colleague ) was arrested in Lagos, luckily for him he took them to the dealer he got the car from, dealer was arrested too..mehn d whole thing became messy..The problem now is they have all been moved to ph..When this whole thing started, I did not really show my h concern until when they were moved to PH, on a flight o..Police put you for plane, na then I know say wahala done happen..My colleague told us d car was toks when he bought it, d car clean die so nobody argue am but now it seems d car na naija used..I think the dealer sold it to him as toks....the story long sha..The good thing is, he has a good reputation here and my MD has involved d company lawyer to get him out, but it's taking too long..Pls be careful.

That's a hell of a coincidence, car stolen in PH, returns back to PH after some years to another owner in the same PH where the crime was committed.

Police will not just release suspect in this type of matter except they compromise investigation. This is a case of armed robbery and murder.

In the face of the law, the Police will assume they are cospirstors, reason proper investigation need to be done to ascertain they are innocent.

for example the value of Corolla is about 4million in the market and you went to the dealer and pay 2million or 1.5million the Police will have reasonable suspicion to believe you intentionally bought a stolen vehicle.

Alot of has to be done during investigation to unravel the truth.

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.

Kaymaxi2222:
stop talking like this because what you said here in your post self doesn't make any sense......why will any sane person leave something that will pay him 720k per month for 250k ......see what is with this uber job that I have seen is the calibre of people doing it thus, as they are seeing the money they are feeling like they have arrived whereas it is just a stepping stone. If one can put the same dedication into improving him/her self as someone earn 250k you will see that uber job is better off

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:
At the moment maybe, but at long run Salary earners will be better off...
I will rather earn 250k/month while I keep developing myself writing professional exam and drinking gari and ground nut.
Than to be driving upandan earning 800k/month with 80k fuel.
we've dealt with this topic over and over here, let me not stress.

How many uber drivers have jappaed compare to salary earners?
See nurses or lab attendants earning 80k/month in Lagos turn big girls under 1 year of relocating.

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.

Uber guys dey move too oh. .. don't group all uber drivers into one basket..
At least 3 guys moved excluding you from this platform. I mean legit Japa. So how much more other platforms.
A lot of people just don't make a fuss about it..

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.

Verbtips:
ok let me get some advise from you then.
ears open

Putting on weight is going to cost you money.

Verbtips:
i grew up in yoruba land where i completed my secondary sch edu.
so you can't tell me not to drink garri
moreover when it comes to physical combat am not one to be out done.i have the strenght.i have never lost a fight and i won't lost in the future.although physique is not that great due to my body nature since childhood,but my six pack dey gidibam

All im saying is , If you change to the right diet coupled with some liftings, your physique will change. You won't turn to hulk, but people will notice changes in you.

Verbtips:
AmHim1
i eat a lot of calories
yet am still skinny
no be food dey make pesin fat
i go fit finish 4 cup of beans top am with 3 garri
and the day i feel like drinking garri
10 cups go go down,
if na swallow 1kg of semo
i go finish am.
but if you see me you go really pity me.if no be now
Wey i dey try to reduce my food intake so make i no dey give my organ hard work
no be food dey make pesin fat.but people wey know me predict say my fat go come like a flood well am looking forward to that.
but your claim are baseless

Eat nutrient dense food, you will see the difference.
It's not about the quantity of food,but how densed the nutrients are. Garri has zero nutrients to build muscle. It's not protein.
Moreover, if you are a man, you could be expending the energy through the addictions that plague young men.

Jogging is not for losing fat only. Jogging helps in elevating the mood. It also helps in getting rid of toxic wastes through sweating.

However, I will agree with the Op on portion control. To reduce fat, the best line of action is a calorie deficit that is staggered.
Eat , but only in little portions.

Felicity001:
Guy you still dey drive?

Abi na experiences emeritus you be?

Yes, I still drive

Gwhizzy:
Please someone to advice me how to go about this Uber or bolt thing. I don’t have a car but I am a serious driver and honest person

Go to Moove @ Maryland mall.

pope191:
I don’t pray for any such humiliation for anybody. E fit be person papa, drivers should should just learn to behave.

Serves the driver right. I outrightly dislike dishonest people. Some drivers just behave like robbers. How much is 2,500?

The other day, a rider too mistakenly sent 35k instead of 3,500.. after 25 minutes driver don switch off phone. It took efforts of group members to threaten him the following day before he returned the money.

Why some drivers behave like paupers beats me ?

I'm like wth is wrong with some drivers, why have a poor man's mentality. What's in 30k?

Bolt rash actions made indrive grow so fast.

Bolt was raving mad 2021/2022.. blocking drivers with reckless abandon.
How can you block a driver for 30 days because he rejected trips

A full grown man with bills and dependants ,you expect such drivers to sit down and wait for 30 days . I don't understand the logic behind this. You are giving more fodder to your competition.

Indrive received such drivers and made magic. Like the story of the young King in the cave of Adullam.All the angered ,distressed and indebted drivers moved to Indrive and Indrive became their commander .

Bolt knows too well,you underestimate Indrive, you pay dearly.
Indrive giving Bolt a good run for their money.

Omoapena:
Thanks boss,
Which of this hotel can you recommend for me?

Don't have any in mind. But avoid the big ones.. cos the guys operating there operate like a cartel.

Your best bet is still on the island reason being that the market for hotels/apartments/ shortlets is more robust than the mainland.

But the question still begs for answer, Do you have the patience?
A user of Bolt will be frustrated by the workings of Indrive.
Can you sit for hours gisting and waiting for that offline client? .. does your persona fit that type of work schedule

Omoapena:
So far I can be getting a good trip daily, I don't mind.

This car consumption isn't good to be running Uber and it's too luxurious for Uber

You might try the hotel angle. Believe me, some aiport guys dont take trips daily, they augment with Bolt/Uber and convince the rider.

I have not done any trip less than 2k for a very long time.
Think of all the bad areas with shitty roads in Lagos, I haven't been there in a very long time too.

I dont need Bolt/Uber to score..

Omoapena:
Pls pilots, how can I register for airport taxi, this Hyundai sonata 2011 wey I dey use too big for Uber/bolt, it's too luxurious for cheap fair.

I dey reason make I find one better hotel park there and be doing drop or I do airport taxi.
Which one will make sense more?

Do you have the patience of the airport men? It's not free for all like Indrive . . just be on your lane Jeje...

BarrElChapo:
There's no lie. Look at the poster very well besides the second screenshot is from Jumia. Why not do your research before commenting in order not to sound dotty on the long run.

I take this back I thought were commenting on the thread I created on the issue. Look at the poster below. The first is from DStv the other Jumia

Oga stop saying what you dont know. come to Jankara here in Lagos...no gotv is sold for 65k.
Made some findings, it's 22k with One month max subscription.

65k ke? What's in the decoder? Black plastic casing and a single panel, then strip of metal for antenna and coloured carton box and some wires..

BarrElChapo:
You’re not aware that Dstv decoders is now 100k and gotv 56k ?

Stop the lies. Gotv is 10k.

Konjiboii:
Person fit use Toyota rav 4 one door do e-hailing?

Nope. 4 doors .

Sirchiboy:
.
Daddy na PH.
Their fares na useless fares.
You will drive like 40 -50 minutes you will see 2000 or 2500

Liase with Bolt drivers in PH.. let them put you through. This is lagos n i don't understand what you mean by no profit.
You mentioned your modus operandi initially and you can see the other chap in PH put holes into your workplan.

Pearl1910:
But I have been telling u since 19kokoro that elevated cameras capture vehicles too. Both for expired documents and for traffic offences like beating traffic light.

I needed proof. Readadream backed his assertion with evidence..

ReadaDream:
There's a camera bro. And it works 24/7. My car was captured at night 2months after the rwc expired and I didn't renew it on purpose, I was going to discard the registration anyways.

RWC expired Dec 16, camera captured it around Feb.

Readadream, You got this image from the alert
they sent to you.
You are the first person that actually provided proof .. cos the angle of that capture shows its an elevated one.

konkoabove:
Baba, those traffic light cameras' main purpose is to detect vehicles with expired papers.

I dont believe in cameras actually. Well ,that's a gist for another day.

There's a timing on the system. If the system does not get a renewal on a certain date say (14days afterwards).
It will list out those numbers and a fine will be attached to it on the vis platform. Straight n easy.

People usually say SARS n military men use Juju..
I chuckle.. if you stay long enough in a trade/profession.. your intuition comes into play when a decision is to be made. There will always be margins for errors, but I can assure you,its going to be minimal

vivalavida:
What if it is an official car?
Do you know how many companies that have corolla and civic as official pool cars? They are many in lagos.
Not every car u see with a ďriver and someone sitting at the back is an e-hailing car.

and with a phone hanged ? do companies also have Chelsea/Man utd/ Barcelona stickers plastered indiscriminately on their dashboards?

If you stay long enough in this game, you can easily spot a car used for ehailing

I can spot an ehailing car just by looking at the car and the occupants..intuition

Pearl1910:
That lacvis inspection and camera issh is getting on my nerves. 3 cars now have fine on them. I would rather reregister another state than pay or contest any fine.
Other States plates doesn't require inspection before renewal so that will be off my chest

Fines as per not renewing on time or traffic violation fines.

Pearl1910:
How do u know these cars u see are on ehailing?

Standard. Rider seated at the back. No comm. chemistry btw rider n driver.

Driver looking bored and wearing a long look

Pearl1910:
Abeg is there anyone actively doing ehailing in Lagos with a vehicle that is not with Lagos plate number? I need this info abeg.
I don tire for Lagos VIO and Lacvis wahala

Get their RW n hackney. N you are good.

Pearl1910:

Don't think there's any wahala.
For Vio, it's always hackney permit n lasdri.
I believe one can do inspection on another state number plates in Lagos. Its all about revenue generation

pope191:
There was a time I tried to switch plate, but one of the app company, either Uber or Bolt don’t accept any other plate number if you want to drive in Lagos. They may have switch rules now sha.

I have been thinking of same thing. It even take away the whole camera headache completely.

I see Abj, Benin, akwa, ibom,ogun plate numbers on ehailing. Don't think it's an issue.
