Overall in the last month he has not completed upto 50% of the requests sent to him. Bolt people are biting more than they can chew.
No other app can challenge Bolt.that's why. Indriver is satisfied with crumbs. Uber is stuck and too rigid in its way.

Just imagine there's another app on ground that can disrupt the space.

CHARLOE:
I'm in a similar dilemma, car was bought brand new by 1st owner (a bank) from a major car dealer, with a photocopy of d invoice available, no custom papers. Almost paid, but a friend adviced not to buy, as I may have to cough out money to pay d full duty, seller is assuring me d copy of d invoice is enough cover frm customs. What do u advise?
True. A car bought brand new has no issues with custom

Badagry, satellite town, Alakija.. are no go areas . I wonder how people go to work and manage to come back to such areas 5-6 days of the week. Mehn....

Most Lagos residents don't move around much. Anyone that visits another state will likely testify how he/she has been living a highly stressed life.

@ glithronix.

Stay in a good area. Even if it costs you. If you spread the difference across 12 mths. You would realise it is just small change monthly. But the health benefits in Lagos. Uhis quite immense.

Make sure all your lights, breaks, hand break, shocks tyrod, bolt joint, power steering etc are perfect otherwise you will go the inspection several times as they will send you to go fix them and come next day. They have computerised systems that test all these.
U don't need to go on 14th as they stated, go there any day as early as 4:30 and pick up a number in queue.
Forget computerized systems, that's all hype. Which computer system will read a Danfo Faragon or an LT.

You mean they have a system that could take readings of the suspension of a car. That's really incredible.

@ kedoty. Welcome back. How did you apply the Npk. Did you bury it or side placement?

What quantity per plant? What did they use as measure e.g cap of coke.

Op. Where is he based?
Tell your brother.
Two things. a. Trading b. services.

10% of the amount should be used to learn a skill. learn from a practicing actor in that industry. Not ebook or online teaching.
He would have to physically interact with the Oga.

Really why do you said so?
just sit tight. It's a sales based role.

It's a start - up too, fixed salaries (which an average job seeker expects) are not really available for such roles.

Appreciation goes to @felicity0001 for his help in the acquisition of my car.

It wasn't an easy task, from Ikotun to Ibadan and back to Ikorodu.
I have been successfully initiated into the Benz family.
Congrats.. Bro. That's a good one.

Tmex:
Yes, thats the point, its more profitable but many times they cant meet up with supply if you have a large expanse except you planned to plant in batches to suit their demand.
I was actually looking for a buyer that could mop up at least 5,000 cobs for every transaction.
So that I can plan properly for the next batch.

In my opinion selling fresh maize is more profitable than selling as grains.
Have you sold fresh before? I sold fresh last year. But I didn't have the required population. If not,... Then the market women don't really have much buying capacity.

Bolt spoilt taxi biz in Abuja. I'm not supporting those airport guys ( that want to charge 7k flat to gwarinpa from the airport, 2015/16. Because they know you have no other options.
.

Bolt came n started slashing fares. Haba.. Comparing rates of a green taxi with that of Uber.
A green taxi can take ₦700 to gwarinpa 1st Avenue or 3rd from wuse 2. Then return with along to banex ₦100, getting at least ₦500 back. No AC. Making at least ₦1200 all within an hour.

On Bolt, you drive much more to get that.

All this planter are not durable,they mostly spoiled quickly within a year. They are all china.
It's more advicesible to buy new one to avoid stories. I bought it before to plant pioneer maize seed.when it's another planting season it has spoiled
. It can't roll again or it's not dropping seeds properly, what actually broke down in the machine.?

1.3 surge is meaningless for a short distance trip.
VERY true. Most times the 0.3 is usually given as a bonus to the rider. Last last, na still ₦500 - 600 trip.

OK. Boss, but what do you think of fresh maize sales. as against grains?

Please can you share a pix of how the oil intake filter / screen looks like.? I guess it's inside the sump

Pearl1910:
Oil has expired grin
Change oil,
Open sump and clean accumulted sluge
Change oil intake screen if d net is bad. Some mechanic will just puncture that net, to allow more oil intake. make sure they don't do that.

Blinking oil light shows not enough oil is getting into engine.
OK. Boss. I will do that. I will instruct mech on what to do.

Red engine light or oil light. That sounds like oil issue.
It could be a malfunctioning oil pump, it could also be a blocked oil filter due to sludge. Don't drive it again without fixing
OK. Thanks Boss. I serviced 3 weeks ago. Been using the same brand of oil filter for d past 10 or 11 months.

Please, who has an idea of what's wrong with this 06 corrolla.

Didn't drive since Sunday. Today, I decided to go out around 6.30 am.
Drove like 2 Km away from the house. Suddenly, I noticed engine noise ( shekere noise (musical instrument) came louder, then the red engine light blinking.

Parked n switched car off. Waited a while, like 5 mins, then turned back home. After like 5 mins on my way home,same thing, change in engine noise, then blinking of engine light.

I'm home now. Just racking my head to know what the issue could be. (oil level is quite OK)
