Most times,we get carried away by the posh work environment.
As long as the workplace is not yours or that of your parents, you are going to leave one day. So I guess the wisdom is, ALWAYS HAVE AN EXIT PLAN.

Won’t lie to myself. I honestly do feel disgusted with myself deep down but sometimes my konji takes over my ability to reason properly. And I also have an extremely high sex drive. I honestly feel doomed with respect to my crazy sexual life and fantasies.

Get a pair of light sneakers, shorts, airpods (for music) ,start 🏃‍♂️ running everyday. Should cost you less than 50CAD .your urges will vanish.

If they give you people space to do the business,you guys can never succeed because you guys are lazy by nature. In one year,you will finish your business capital on owambe. You can never succeed in business because you guys don't have the acumen

Any dummy can buy and sell.. it's no big deal. Have you ever wondered why the manufacturing hubs of Nigeria are domiciled in the southwest?

hardbody:
Funny. You know nothing about business. You guys may hold sway in the corporate world, but Street business is not your thing bro. Have you seen Lagos during Christmas?

South West is the most prosperous region in Nigeria. It has always been. The wealth of a nation is not in the land but in the people, from arts to entertainment, education, manufacturing etc.. name it, you will always find the best in the southwest.

Lagos during Xmas is not unique, most businesses shut down during that period.

Kabu- kabu guys,iyana oworo, along and Co. Be guided. Especially at night.

I have never done kabu kabu in this hustle. At night ,once I can't get a rider heading my way,I'm blowing straight home. The risks always outweigh the reward. Oworo can't be more than 300 naira from Lekki.

It was never written in the history of Nigeria that American president visited Nigeria not even your dreams

Jimmy Carter

Bill Clinton.

Have washed the radiator, black smith washed it for me, secondly, how do I know if my fan is working in reverse/below optimum level.


Will do the gasket test when am leaving the office closing hour.

Thank you

Did he wash the radiator in your presence? ---Because your symptoms is pointing 👉 to blocked internal fins of a radiator. Once the water within the radiator fins is not circulating freely, your car will overheat.
-Check the two hoist attaching the radiator for small escapes..( maybe the clips are not tightened enough)
- A good fan should blow constantly and not wobble. A general test is to place a wrap of pure water nylon ( don't use your hand, use a long thin twig to put the nylon in front of the radiator.
Put on your Ac ,your fan will start blowing,if your fan is strong enough, the nylon should stick to the condenser).

When you set destination on Uber and its giving you 6km as a destination trip, nah, that's not good enough. More work needs to be done in that area.
Most developers are not driving so they can't fully comprehend what a driver needs when he sets destination...

ReadaDream:
Omo last last na empty I blow reach Sangotedo from Yaba

Uber hasn't perfected their destination feature.. it reminds me of a course in sociology about "felt needs versus perceived needs"..

HonourablePomk:
Thanks. I’m trying to locate another panel beater. This man keeps telling me he has tightened the exhaust and yet I hear the sound when back seat is occupied. I’m scared of telling mechanic because even if the rear shock absorber is good they will tell you it’s bad.

Check the two hook rubbers of the silencer pot whether they are not broken, these too might add to it, you can check it yourself .
If he's going to tie it,
-it must be done vertically and not horizontal,

- it must not be too taut (the pipe and the fastener),so allow a little flexibility,

- some 40-45 cm away from where the back tyres are, (that's d point where by design default, the pipe can lower,check if the pipe is not short by some few mm.

- check your back shock absorbers.. ( if you climb a speed hump ,notice the response your back tyres give you.

Carrying 4 people @ the back seat continously will eventually ruin your absorbers, the manufacturer has calculated the max load at the back ,hence the 3 seats.

Omoapena:
I'm thinking of doing this as well, I'm tired of driving in Lagos but I think map is there to guide someone through the routes

If ehailing is the ONLY thing you are going to do in Abuja,it's a wrong move.

For newbies and even the experienced

Avoid working odd hours. Around (4am-5am last week) Two cars were hijacked at gun point around Jakande estate,Isolo. A camry muscle and another corrolla. The corrolla has been found by police according to the victim who shared the WhatsApp audio.

Ignore any stupid Bolt driver score , if you sense
the trip is not safe especially with 2 male riders at odd hours, cancel or ignore the damn order.

stay safe,if you don't work on Bolt /Uber and no cash in your pocket ,but your life and car is safe. It's a good deal if you ask me ..

lyreek:
Please guys is it advisable to pick 2014 Nigerian used Kia rio on hire purchase for uber / taxify and bolt…
What is the reliability of the car to withstand that long and steady running… will the Kia deliver? Or does it breakdown easily because I don’t want to get disappointed along the line

I am particularly avoiding corolla brand because of the insecurity involved please your candid advice is highly needed urgently.

What are you doing with a 2014 car for ehailing? Fairly used again? That's a bad choice.. you are not even thinking of maintenance.. Where are you staying in Abuja ?Abuja of all places.. .. Do you want real advice?

YeyeGbami:
I dey find free method, one which i won't have to pay anything. I can't imagine using my hard earned money to payback.

Gaskai, e dey sweet, 2021,met a man that was owing Uber over #50,000 naira.. .. I'm like no app will take this.

YeyeGbami:
I need who fit help me clear this gbese

Yeye, which method do you intend in using? I have 1,200 to clear on Uber.. but can't they make their payment portal as easy as that of Indrive, why all these complex stuff before payment..?

It seems Uber has finally fixed their destination feature, i.e you can set destination at will. I will check it properly to see if its true.

Chaiii, they just allowed Bolt to steal their shine all these years, never knew a private company could have such strong bureaucratic structures.

Bolt don cast finally, they are now looking for drivers wey go brand cars for them.

Itsrm:
But the 15k is free money na. 4 trips daily for 5 days and it's done.

What about trips that will cause more than 15k damages to the car ?
Is that a net gain or net loss? This promo is for rookies and those who can't see properly ..

If for 6 months, an individual has not drawn salary from a particular organisation. and Nothing happened to him, Then they called the same person to come back and collect 15 k after 6 months absence .. but he must do 20 trips before he gets the money.. honestly, makes no sense.

Itsrm:
Could be legit. That guy introduced indriver on this thread. I remember how people were making fun of him at the time.

Maybe he has jumped ship and now works with Uber.

Anyone contacting him should just exercise due diligence.

Very true.. remembered him and the Indrive on boarding then.
But maybe it's me, 15k after seriously labouring for 20 trips is not attractive @all.

Yagier:
Ever since tinubu has been in power in Lagos I have never heard he’s owing anybody money or salary….Lagos pays salary on time and allowed different tribe to have a conducive environment to do business but we can’t say the same for obi in a anambra that was owing doctors 13 months salaries…..lagos has never owe workers salary….this is fact I’m not supporting anyone oh just pure fact.

Salaries that they received from the FG. Governors paying salaries is not an achievement.
The money was given to them by federal allocation. Nothing much. Please, say something else.

gimakon:
Do not talk what you are not sure of. I live in Satellite Town, and Nothing is wrong with me. Its not a choice to make a place for residential area, especially judging by the cost and how "bouyant" the person is. If things were good for people they would not live in most of those Slum areas.

Where I live in Rwanda is a 4 star apartment , in Russia is 5 star apartment. I came back to be with Family members where they live , does not mean i should be ridiculed.
You need to know how to talk, and when to talk.

No one is making ridicule of anyone. I never tagged you.i don't know where you are getting your ideas from. I answered the poster. Op asked for an opinion about satellite town. I gave mine, I also added that I wonder the kind of human beings that live there.. because I can't imagine people waking up to and fro to that kind of environment daily.
There's no serious footprint of government intervention there.
I have been there once, and it was not a good experience. There's nothing that will ever make me go to satellite town again.

gimakon:
How the human beings be?

I dont know.. but I'm sure if they move to another town briefly, they will realise they have been suffering all this while.

lajid:
Hi guys,

I’m trying to find a place in Lagos to rent an apartment and based on online research i think satellite town is kind of affordable.

But anyone has an idea about security, electricity, water, flood (when rain falls) etc in satellite town.

Also is it also good for someone working on the island - ease of going to and fro from satellite town to the island for work.

Thank you

Don't try it. Satellite town is like hell. I wonder the kind of human beings living in that axis.. they are used to suffering.

@ xana.
Most corporations make expenditures 'going forward',then they try to recoup such expenses by driving their revenues.
For instance, they could cede say ' 100 million naira on advertising.. after spending such,it is expected that they recoup more than 100m from their revenues... and you need 25% commission to get those kind of big numbers, so 10% won't cut it for them.

xana101:
I never believe Bolt will be so stubborn not to reduce their 25% commission. Immediately indrives and d rest came in, bolt would have reduced commission from 25% to 10 or 15% and stop this there bonus here and there.

Of a truth, they can't reduce commission to 10%. Its like telling someone with different assets to commit suicide because of an invasion, he/she will rather let the assets go to save the ship.

Most times,the bonus is a decoy for drivers to help them achieve their revenue benchmark, its not free, because there's a proviso attached to it,so they can't stop dishing it out.

@ Glithronix.. it was just a matter of time. One thing I can deduce is Bolt revenues nosedived seriously, that's why they cut staff.You can't make more and still cut staff,
Entrance of new players- Lagride, indrive, Rida,Anayer,Roosca etc.
Previously, at least 60% of all the riders and drivers on these new apps would have been remitting steadily to Bolt. But that's not possible again.

E haling cpys are not left out in this downsizing of a thing. Bolt just laid off 17 of its staff in Nigeria. That's like 24% work force reduction. That's huge o. and getting 1 or 2 months as severance pay...
It means their revenues did not really appreciate especially 2022..

Omoapena:
I know someone from here who would jump to accept this ride

Any driver that agrees to this is a really dumb driver.. .you drive close to 2 hrs in lagos traffic and won't collect money ...cos of stupid leesh.

Money transfer platforms are cashing out right now..

@ Glithronix.. how does lateness affect drivers ratings, that's strictly within the purview of the riders..
Right now, no more bidding for the fun of it, once a driver bids, he should be prepared to go.

As long as you are willing to go for the trip, even if you are 2- 3srconds to the timer, click arrive and proceed to the pick up point., some riders will still delay you even after this.

Riders still have liberty to choose their drivers..

The modification is good. @ Glithronix.. 12 mins .means the rider chose you.. I don't have to click twice to bid. Pick price and that's it.

A driver with Corrola was robbed and stabbed at mushin. Let's be careful out there.

Thank God he is alive. By the number plates, its either a new driver or HP. 2a.m is an odd time to be anywhere in Lagos, moreso mushin. Why do people risk their lives for peanuts?
