The other day, one of us was writing to bolt customer care... I'm like. There's no point, they won't listen to you anyway....

When their revenues take a serious hit, I'm sure they will sit tight. You don't tell a blind man it's raining, if he can't see the rain, at least, he can smell or feel it.
Take the case of Uber, can you imagine a whole Uber sending emails to drivers that commission has been reduced to 20%

(there's no company in the world that abruptly changes strategy, especially when it comes to their revenue, ) some months back,with different types of bonus. attached, that shows they really lost drivers to competition...

morax101:
or maybe he’s preaching bolt to the drivers and they are returning the favour by dashing him 1 star

. Whatever, those drivers are not feeling the Bolt gospel, 7trips, he's already at 4.2.
. I suspect the dip in his ratings are as a result of his akagum fares...

Pearl1910:
How can U forget there is a difference between estimate and actual. Has it been that long u stopped driving?

From 18mins to 1 hr 30mins. For a distance less than 10km. That's not d real price..

Mirrah:
Do you plan for uneventful traffic. Any driver that was at lekki phase this afternoon can testify to the heavy traffic

It's a learning phase... Prolly, you thought you were the first person to pick that ride. I can bet you, that said rider has been trying to get a ride to remi oluwude for over 20 - 25 mins. and all the experienced drivers around have been bouncing/skipping that particular ride before you picked it.

morax101:
He's a bolt staff.

The guy has been bidding low fares too. 7 trips only and his ratings already 4.2. That means he has been paying really low fares for his trips....

Mirrah:
It wasn't a fastest finger thing. Normally it should be a 20, mins trip. Rider was 200m away from me. Map was showing 18mins to destination.18 mins turned to 1hr 30mins

You don't still get, the fares has been tampered with, how can a trip of 18 mins suddenly turn to close to 1 hr 30mins. for how long... You didn't study it well before picking the trip..

Mirrah:
Not a bolt fan boy, but Bolt surely still have its perks. Was surge today at lekki phase 1 cause of heavy traffic. [b]Did a 1300 trip on indriver for close to 1hr 30 mins,[/b]quickly switched to bolt...lol. Same trips on bolt was double the price

Your ordeal is self inflicted (fastest finger), by picking a trip manipulated by the rider. 1hr 30 mins trip can never be ₦1,300 originally from indriver.

What kind of man goes ahead with marriage without having a source of income? Even if it covers only feeding and expenses.

Tell him to dump zaria fast and come to Abuja.
He will get a driving job @ least. He should start from there.
He Must have a source of income at least

shairepee:
i also got a mail from them and i have been replying ..i am now at the point where i have to pay for my biometrics at the canadian embassy in lagos state...i was asked to pay 69000naira

Don't be carried away by website, anbody can do a website...
Before throwing away your money. Do two things.

1. Google LMIA ( Labour market impact assessment)

2. Ask yourself? Which special skill do I have that will make them jump over thousands of Canadians and foreign residents to pick someone like myself in Nigeria....

Your answers will guide you.

Scrapping the MOT task force was good riddance to bad rubbish.
Most of the MOT guys have gone rogue. They were only working for their pockets.

Ok. Thanks.... @ rapt @ nifemi

Please, how much is driver's license renewal now. 3 or 5 years...

dennis3888:
Good day everyone please i need your candid advise and opinion

Am about to leave my bank job of seven years with a salary of 100k for a new business note the business has already been set up already

my fears is that am married and you know what that means i have ready responsibilities. so am now having fears that what of it doesn't work (which have been praying about seriously).




probably the fears is just in my head. your opinion please

What's your wife doing? Is she currently working...
You can test waters for 3 months by getting your wife to oversee the bakery for two days ( Tuesday and Thursday). You will run staggered production... For now operate strictly 3 or 4 day week cycle.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
While you take over weekends ( sat & Sun)

See how it goes for the 3 months,then you decide whether to go full scale.
Target the retail end by getting the retailers to buy directly from you (your bakery) ... ₦100,150,200 ₦500. units of bread move faster... ₦150 and ₦200 especially if you live in a youth dominant environment.

Congrats chief, bread money is daily money..

Classicalman:
My friend here in Nigeria applied and got a job offer from a Canadian hospital named Notre Dame Pavillion Hospital with address below:
2075 Avenue Quebec Canada.

She used a Nigerian based agent who linked her to it. Now they are asking her to pay processing fee of 100k. Please can anybody verify if this hospital is for real?

Thanks

It's a big scam. Ever heard of LMIA. labour market impact assessment. The role is either a Nursing position or caregiver. Whichever? You mean they can't find someone in the whole of Quebec to fill that role, the hospital had to jump continents to pick an applicant from west Africa all the way from North America... Common, think about it now. Why do you people like giving these agents free money now.. .?

BTW, The agent didn't do jack. Just uploaded your friend's profile on a foreign jobs website e. g Indeed and quoted a mail, they sent a job invitation to scores of people like her. ...

My salary is 76k as a teacher but my living with 2 kids n my wife isn't working yet is a miracle. Just that as a physics teacher I do get private lessons, waec registration business.

Currently I'm learning forex seriously because I want to be in charge of my future. Rent is pH is not cheap, 300k for that matter.

But na God de run am for us

Get a spec laptop and learn video editing. Forget forex.....

pope191:
Nah so boss... hope she's good.

Pope... Abeg o... I went for a meeting ni o... and I didn't trust the traffic for that axis. Thank God I heeded to my instincts. Going back, they blocked one whole lane @ egbeda, fixing broken nepa poles.

Drsnives:
My brothers that's how my dad linked me up with one of his friend in lagos.
The man said their company "quest global company" located in Lagos is reciuiting, that am to pay 560k for my training after that i will be employed and that there's every tendency for me to be relocated abroad. According to him the company pays in dollars and they will prepare my international passport with part of the money.
Nairalanders have been confused because I don't want to loose any opportunity through ignorance.
If i may has anyone come across the name quest global company??

That's total falsehood. No real company will ask you to pay for anything before employing you. You better don't get ripped off. Common, you should be able to decipher things now,

with the cash crunch in the economy, you still want to be duped of a whooping 560k, this scam is as clear as daylight.... think critically now, how can they relocate you abroad? as per American or British consular or what? They can't even guarantee visa, and they want to relocate you abroad

Testi123:
Why do we all have the mindset of making money for free...

..Like you want to make
200k in a month for free��
Don't let anyone deceive you and waste your precious time....

...You pay thousands to go to school to have a certificate to work and earn salary monthly

And you don't want to pay to earn passively online.....

....Nothing comes easily in life we all know that

And Be careful of quick Money no quick Money anywhere.

Even footballers that earn massively weekly buy's trails form ,pay to work hard before getting to the position of earning big
because nothing comes free

All I can say is pay to get paid passively

Comment and I will show you how to get started

You want to know why? Most of the people that push the "earn online mantra" just want to sell courses. They sell results without the required process.

pope191:
Saw this late boss, guess you are already on it?

Yes o. Pope. I'm there sef. No traffic at all. As described by lanrexdo.

lanrexdo:
By bus.

Just enter iya iba and drop at the bustop. It is after igando market.

Thanks bro. Really appreciate

Abeg. Bosses, how do I connect lasu- iyana Iba road from. Iyana - ipaja. This morning. I'm not driving.

Ewodogbon bus stop. Lasu( iyana - Iba road).

Cc: lanrexdo, YeyeGbami. Pope..

Itsrm:
Guys, please what's a fair price for an offline trip to Iwo road, Ibadan from the Airport in Lagos.

If you are going to Iwo road, Ibadan.. Use challenge to connect to Iwo road. Don't go direct through the toll gate.

It might seem longer. But it's better for you.

Godsprojectayo:
Teaching job of 20k salary 7:30a.m to 4p.m or okada hustle for a bsc holder? which would you recommend?
All contributions will be appreciated please!

If you can afford an Okada. Why not spare 10-15k extra. Add a plastic cubicle, get crash helmet, light boots, reflective jacket and start logistic/delivery.

You will make more money doing delivery /logistics than Okada. You will even get the much needed connect to land the corporate job you want. You will be the one running from orders....

Leave teaching and start the delivery /logistics asap.

OboOlora:
Job wey dem fit sack u tomorrow if Govt change policy that kills the business of your employer
Or make kidnappers carry de ask for 50M ransom
Or make u get one terminal illness wey Reddington go use u chop with zero facilities

Too many uncertainties, may Nigeria not happen to you.

Meanwhile that 620k is less than £800, you can make such amount working 20hrs a week for 1month while still studying

Choose wisely my friend!!!

You are more likely to fund the social security structure of the UK without getting returns on your thousands of pounds spent on education.

800 pounds before tax.

How much do you have after tax 800 pounds monthly.?

What quality of life will you get for post tax 800 pounds monthly in the UK?

SamuelTaiw0:
I was wrong.
Check here:
https://www.uber.com/ng/en/drive/lagos/inspections/#locations

This list is outdated. Ashabi cole Centre is no more. The whole place has been dismantled.

BTW, I wonder why Uber can't have a proper updated list of their centres. This shouldn't take more than 30 mins. ...

CheerfulGiver:
By dumping bolt for indriver, I'll be saving 120k monthly just from commission Bolt is supposed to collect. And guess what, I do that in 6 days as against 7 days on bolt.

CheerfulGiver.. No long talk. I'm with you on this Bolt commission thing. 25% is just outrageous.

Contest between Bolt and inDriver is as clear as daylight.

To net 80 on Bolt, you need a gross of 108k

To gross same on Indriver, you get a net of 97.7k

Difference is 17.7k. Weekly. Monthly, you are giving Bolt at least 70k of your money with threats included.

These costs creep, so an individual might not be aware. Imagine someone places a debit of 70k monthly lumpsum on your account. I'm sure you would take note of such a person

sacajawea:
E.g where?
Land that come with registered Survey?

Have you asked yourself why everyone wants to sell you land? Ask them how many plots they bought themselves for investment purposes. You don't tie down your last card in assets that can't be liquidated easily..
Which land appreciates fast in months?

Op. Don't let anyone sell any stupid webinar for you from their purported mentors, they just collect your over 50k without doing anything tangible for you.

Don't contact anyone, if they can't share it here, they can as well bottle it up.....

Potbellyman:
There are a thousand and one lands he can buy with 1.5m. In fact, he can get 2 plots with change left and sell the same plots with profits in a couple of months to less than 2 years if you don't know.

Where in Lagos will he get such land? and how long, you are mentioning 2years.... It's easy to buy land in bushy areas, try selling it after few months..
What will he be doing for those 2 years? You still don't get. You don't use your last card to buy land for speculation purposes , that's not a good move.

sacajawea:
Lagos

Trading.... Buying and selling of edible stuff. You don't need shop to sell. Not necessarily provision or raw foodstuff.
Take 10% of the purported sum. Go and save the rest in a money fund account.

Look for someone who is into the business in your area. You will apprentice for 3 weeks to understudy the model of the business. Look for weaknesses and strengths. Formulate your strategy and hit the streets.

Potbellyman:
I must have missed where the op mentioned that he was broke and jobless

Regardless, buying of land is not the best advice for the young man. Pray, tell me, which land will 1.5m buy, it will take 7 or 8 years for development to get there. He tied down capital for nothing...
