You want him to tie down the only viable cash he has. Which land? The one development won't get to in the next five years...

Hello All, Pls when trying to pick someone from the arrival terminal of the MMIA, is the best bet parking at the multi-storey level car park and the traveller going to meet the driver at the car park ? or there's a way to pick the traveller somewhere closer to the exit/entrance of the arrival terminal ? I'm not an uber driver, Just asking cos a friend almost got harassed by some touts with a towing vehicle upon dropping off someone at the departure area, and I know the case at the arrival section might be worse.

Pick up.
Drive to Car park.... Park your car properly. Use your legs, stroll to arrival. Assist your guest with luggages to the car park. Pay car park fees and be on your way.

Drop off.
Ensure all farewell greetings are to be done before getting there. Departure is not a place where you start dishing and receiving last minute instructions.. Hugs, pecks and all that... unless you are with escort police / army.
If not, park, open trunk and evacuate all their luggages as quickly as possible ... and be on your way.

The truth is! Bolt is fast dying.
The app is always which even on broad street at 6pm!
No be juju be that!
I spent 11am to 10pm only to gross 17k
Fuel 4k
Bolt Charges 4k

9k

Indriver is a mad house!

Been trying but you see. Just click on price next you will see order taken even if you click the said amount.

Some riders will now reduce price if so many people are on the trip and sometime will still pick it after price reduction.

No be juju be that!

Boss, without Surge, Bolt is useless.. 25% commission for doing what exactly? ... Ogba to Berger is one of the most profitable routes (Keke and Korope) on the mainland, yet the almighty Oluomo /Nurtw takes only 14.5% from drivers. (there's a garage, there's union support services, there's also a community for help). You pay for everything you get on Bolt (training, inspection, verification). So what's the real benefit for driving on Bolt.

On Tuesday, I did ₦7500 gross on Indrive. I still took 5k home after fuel & commission. Wasn't a full day because I had other things to do on the mainland. (I didn't move beyond ogba, Allen and Maryland) No stress at all. I was happy going where I wanted to, everybody was happy (riders, myself and the app). It was true freedom. No BS driver score /activity. No threats . I relied so much on Bolt last year. I can't believe myself now using Bolt app as a last resort.

Nifemi2020:
Someone is trying so hard to lie against you, and you also can’t find a simple lie against them. Nawa for you oo what if they said you are trying to rape them what would you do? Oga Professor wise up. As I no see car for Uber, I start private driving Job. My first day at work, Madam said I should take her to Isolo and on our way back, Madam said she want to buy yam opposite Isolo LG secretariat, I told her we can’t park there cos of local government boys, she said she won’t use up to 2 minutes, immediately she entered the car, i central locked the car and ready to move naso towing vehicle blocked me ooooo, they asked me to roll down the glass that they want to ask me something, I insist I will not roll down the glass, naso Madam say make I roll down the glass one of the Boys just put his hand inside and try to open the door from inside immediately I roll up the glass with his hand in-between luckily for me I have enough space to escape, naso I Japa with the guy’s hand still in-between the glass. I don move far before I release him.

@ nifemi. That's some real James bond stuff... You cracked me up with japa with the guy's hand.. . Lcda touts, one of the most disgusting set of guys.. How can a fully grown man set to make a career out of extortion in a city like Lagos....? Very pitiful.

Sarsam:
I was a struggling fresh graduate when I was introduced to pineapple farming

I planted about 15,000 pineapple suckers around June 2020, followed due process of it's farming.

Last year, I induced it all, and about 12,000 of the pineapple stands started fruiting, at first I was scared of how to sell 12,000 fruits, but when I started getting intouch with fruit sellers in my area, I was able to get many customers even more than what I needed.

I harvested over 10,000 fruits at ones and sold in dozens, I have about 600 dozens bigger sizes of pineapple fruits which I sold for ₦6000 per dozen.
I realized approximately ₦3,600,000 on just 600 dozens of bigger sizes fruits
I still have some smaller sizes left which I sold for ₦3000 per dozen

Planting just 15,000 suckers, and harvested about 12,000 fruits after spending about 700k on the farm.

Now I believe what some pineapple farmer always say, pineapple farming is a cool money investment...

Pineapple farming is a lucrative agrobusiness, invest in it if you have the opportunity.

Below is my farm during harvesting and sales

Op, What's the plan? You want to share your secrets of making millions or what. You must be a special person.. . Share your challenges, that would make a better discuss..

Seems indriver is gaining traction by the day.... Bolt is just stupid and so full of themselves with that driver score and activity BS.

3 inspections in a year that you pay for,after 25% commission...

Uber is another sad story, I can't imagine how a Pioneer in a field suddenly turned to playing catch up...
Imagine MTN, playing second fiddle to Glo.. in
Nigerian telecoms
It's either Uber is not really interested in the Nigerian market (maybe Egypt and South Africa markets are more profitable) or the management here are just satisfied with their performance.
Right now, Uber should be leading, but I don't get that feelers from them.
This is a very simple stuff, open up the destination feature...

jidestroud:

Quite funny you asked. Although, I can't remember writing about a new goat project anywhere yet u exposed me.

You will read about it in due time by God's grace.

OK. That's good. You did a good job with the mgt of the first goats.. Natalie abi Natasha, the doe that kept dropping kids back to back...

Ogbuu101:
Not a fan of Ekweremadu, but he attracted lots of roads to his constituency in Enugu state and even extended it to Uburu(where Ogbonnaya Onu and Dave Umahi come from)in Ebonyi state.

Did he do the projects with his money? The roads were built with the common wealth of Nigeria. He has not done anything out of place.

ewa20buredi100:
500USD is almost 400,000 naira (which one can conveniently use to do a[b] Masters in Nigeria) [/b]


So what are the things one needs to put in place (like must-have-gadgets and accessories, etc) to ensure smooth learning and what are the challenges in learning online courses?

Can these challenges be avoided or reduced to barest minimum or they cannot be avoided?

Thank you

₦400,000 on outdated stuff..? ..

@ jide stroud..

Please, any updates on your new goat project..

Sorry about your loss. @ Okine... You mentioned you were going to be visiting twice weekly.....

Don't give up... Agric. is lucrative...

My maize last year.. Apart from paying for the efforts of all farming activities, I gave the supervisor, 10% of all the sales made... I lost, but it was a learning process that was invaluable.


Peradventure, I delve into livestock, my live - in worker must have a sense of belonging by drafting a % ( you work it out, maybe for every 10 or 11 goats, he owns 1 too. Apart from salary). It creates a sense of ownership, they take the venture very serious....they are committed to see the project to the very end.

Op... Why not sell the bag type?

ClipHog:
Actually no I didn't capture the video but I will try to find one for you.

And about the clearing of the weed, I simply use glyphosate base contact an systematic herbicide

OK.. You are doing a good job. Keep it up.

@ cliphog.

Nice one. Do you have the video of the ploughing using the rickshaw?

How did you clear the land in the first place?

LiveWithIt:
Good morning house, I got a Corolla from an uncle 2010 model. I'll be using it for bolt and indriver so I have the following questions..

With hard of working 6:30 to 8-9pm can I make around 20k as my gain after bolt/indriver commission and fuel?

Is it still lucrative as it used to be?

Will it be worth it using the car for bolt/indriver as am not doing anything for a while and can I save 100k weekly?

I heard weekends are the best time to earn more Friday through Sunday how true is this??

Pls house I'll be so honored to get a response as I'll be starting on on Monday next week

My main purpose of wanting to go into this hustle is to make make daily income that can pay my bills, so I'm not lazy I just want to know if the hustle can generate 15-20k from 6:30/7am to 8/pm. Daily but I'll have days I'll like to be off to service car and give myself rest as I would have mastered the job

Please I'll be waiting and answering questions. I need to get a quick response to influence my decision thank in advance

Driving location is Lagos

Pope191
CheerfulGiver

High earners drive odd hours. That's the MO for high dashboards in Lagos.

Take this advice..
Babies crawl first before they walk....

A. Not all trips/locations are good, some will do more damage to the car than the financial gain. You can find out by reading the thread from 2019 till date.

B. Safety... As a newbie, don't make compromises, Bolt and Uber bears no liability on you or the car.

C. Invest in yourself too. Dedicate 2 half days weekly to plan your life career /business wise. Uber/Bolt is a slippery slope. No real skills to learn on Uber/Bolt,any dummy can drive. Don't get sucked in.

Goodluck.

Quick one, my wife birth our son yesterday. It means the world to me.

Thanks.. Bro.

Abeg, how much is normal Bolt inspection..

@ Emmaodet. Boss. I have replied you again. Thank you.

emmaodet:
Have replied your mail.

Thanks Boss. I have replied you back.

@ emmaodet.
Boss can I pm you?

Farmerakinloye6:
I don't know about acre, but it is 30k per hectare here. Acre is 6plot while hectare is 15plot.

OK. Thanks.

@ shariff84.

How much is GNC?

Pearl1910:
Why not?
If they can ban bike in Lagos and Kano, what's up with IB. It's even places that there is no traffic that it's easy to ban bike sef Or restrict them to small streets.

You want to compare Ibadan with Lagos, is it by land size or the cultural /political complexities of the city.
Take it from me, bike ban in Ibadan is DOA. When Lagos was busy enforcing Yeye face mask here, people in Ibadan were just moving freely.. doing their stuff.

kanuisagoat:
My contacts on ground have also assured me it won't work in a place Ibadan.

Even if they do, I'm just in the pilot phase and would have gotten a good chunk of my money by the time they will. The loss will not be much

Ban Okada in Ibadan ke? , it will never work. The bullshit stunt lastma and its sister agencies pull in Lagos can never be tried in a place like Ibadan.....

kanuisagoat:
I saw it yesterday but I don't think they will do it. At least, not yet. Election is coming.

Maybe Lagos, it can't work in Ibadan. FG and it's air-conditioned policy makers are really estranged from reality, the rate of unemployment is alarming.

@ Farmerakinloye6.

Keep up the good work. Please how much is the current rate for ploughing one acre at the moment.

Nigerian cow milk is not the same as foreign

I hope u know we have local peak milk and Holland peak milk

Holland peak milk is better and costs more than Nigerian peak milk

But then I do drink raw cow milk, I don't think it's better than kunnu, both Aya and millet
The best thing is that it's not dilluted, it's sweeter and fresher than canned milk, it's more filling just like kunu

No difference. Why Holland is costly is largely due to the exchange rate coupled with the fact that it will be taxed since it's imported.
