Kaymaxi2222: Omo I just tire.......and I noticed something on bolt too that if you start out with them..they tends to keep given you request than let say you just got to a location where there is surge and you then put on your app. This way they might not give you request until they satisfy those already working on there app Possible. I'm quite aware ,that the app gives you priority if you complete trips a lot than those who cancel trips for fines. |

PuZZyNegro: Getting normal Bolt ride is now by connection . If you don’t turn on Bolt economy, you're on your own You have more of ijgb guys around n bolt is trying to impress them. If you are in an area with more "comfort" category cars. Bolt will make " Bolt category slightly expensive than "comfort" . Naturally, riders will pick the cheapest of the options. So it leaves the "Bolt category " guys hanging briefly. |

PuZZyNegro: When you are not getting trips on Bolt, you use Uber. When you need a destination trip, you use Uber, when you are chasing 50k bonus, especially off season, you use Uber. I don't chase bonus on Uber. It's pointless, 2k trips cos of one 40k. Destination on Uber ke? Are you joking.  . Bolt has the best destination feature .. you can set destination anytime on Bolt. You can't do it on Uber. I have told you. Uber bonus is suffer head. This is my opinion. Why do i have to wait to do 40 trips to get 40k . Why can't I do 5 or 6 trips n make that equivalent. Merry Christmas. |

Indrive has its advantage, in that it clipped the wings of Bolt &Uber. Especially Bolt as regards acceptance rate bullshit. You don't force trips on drivers. Indrive was able to get an inroute into the market through that single loophole in the app design. |

PuZZyNegro: How come nobody is talking about Uber's exploitative 30-35% commission on trips. Can't fathom why some drivers still use Uber? I thought the whole idea of driving in Lagos was to get cash. Bolt trumps Uber anyday anytime. |

PuZZyNegro: Uber is an option. I will take Uber trip over Bolt economy trip. The only problem I have with Uber is their exploitative high commission. A trip of 11k gross, you'll be getting 7k plus net. Bolt has been 17% for some drivers at least from the 2nd week of December. This is why Bolt will always lead pan Nigeria. |

pope191: Sorry my people that I could not respond since. I was just getting off the matter. Not happy, but heaven bear me witness I have tried my best.
Riders will no kee us. I was heading towards Anthony to meet up with someone. So I left the app on incase I get a trip along. Parked around Allen and I saw a trip from Salvation. So the rider text and her number was not on the app. I text her about being on my way. On getting to that Chrisland sch. My phone flash message and it use to b within eyes reach, tho not on my dashboard. My attention draw to the flash and the pop message, rider cancelled. I didn’t touch my phone, just eyes on the flash, next was more like an unstable man wandering in the middle of the road. Omo! Nah human be this? I sway my hand real quick, but I’m already at the covert side and no further side to sway too or I slam the covert completely. People sha gather and try to mob, until the honest people took the blame off me and they left. Rushed em to the nearest hospital like 3 blocks away. A man followed me to the hospital and ready to stand as witnesses. Even told his driver to drive my car away from the mob, so they don’t steal anything. They put em on a stable mood and I took him to general hospital. Sort all the bills and have him some money and he said h want to go. Before I know I start saying police up and down. Back and forth, doctors were angry, because I stood and took charges, bear the brunt and sort all bills, I didn’t run, so what’s the problem here? The man is still alive, eating and walking around, not like they admit him.
Las las the things went the way it went and the case was drop. Took the man back to the street he claimed he live, he could point any house. If he hav any relate, child or phone number, he said no. So I took him to the pharmacy, but blood tonic, some vitamins and pain killer. Took em to the street and leave.
Just got home not long ago… it is well! The Lord be with you. We Thank God d mata no pass this one. |

There's this belief by common folks that the betting companies are here to empower them.  . I just chuckle.  . They are here for business. The recent judgment by the Supreme court has made it more juicy for the state actors. Lagos indirectly will cash out from the Mugus the betting companies fatten for the slaughter house.  . There are algorithms and data crunching centres monitoring all these betting agents by location. When they see that a crucial match is coming, they give some of their highest staking customers crumbs from the largesse especially in a densely populated betting area.  The news will spread fast, that 5 guys just cash out 5 million each from a collection of 250 million. They give out 10% of the 250 million collected n keep the rest. The following week, most guys are ready to stake 50k, 100k , for the imaginary millions.... Betting is for the rich. I don't want to go into the aspect of those that clean money through betting. So for the broke guys that keep betting.  You are playing in a game that is way above your league .. nothing demonic here or spritiual or village people, you are just a victim of your greed. Simple . |

Abdulstoic: Abeg bosses in this hustle, una Good morning. I got this Kia Rio(one with the transmission that can turn my leg to johnnys type) that I’m thinking about using for this hustle while I skill up make hunger no con kill man for house. The issue I’m facing now is that the previous owner sometimes uses mobile semi synthetic engine oil but mostly uses XHP. So I’m thinking, should I risk it and switch to that semisynthetic or make I Dey use that XHP Dey go. Note that this engine still Dey kampe.
Also, Abeg who knows a good Kia AC technician I can go to cos the only hope I had is no more. Make others no con run me street for this donB mentor era If the engine is sharp, Continue with engine oil the former owner has been using ,which is Mobil XHp. The most important thing is frequent oil change.Your max range must be 2500-3000km. Check if your odometer is in km or miles. If it's in miles, you musnt exceed 2100 miles before another oil change. |

Pearl1910: Can u throw more light on the bolded pls It's a Japanese system of living. It optimises the energy flow of the body, when we don't eat to satiation. Digestion consumes a lot of energy, which limits the deployment of energy to other key areas in the body ( cell regeneration, organ repair, growth.etc). You would notice that the kidneys filter best when we are asleep. Cos energy domiciled in the body during this period of rest are efficiently allocated . It looks unbelievable at first. But most MOG engage this ancient practice. Eat but not to satiation. It takes time to achieve mastery sha. This is for men. It's also controversial, there's a fluid, fluid is dependent too on our diet,the more of that fluid we can harness, the higher the chances of the body to operate in manufacturers template. |

Politics › Re: 'Despite Poor Performance, Tinubu May Get Re-elected In 2027' - Rufai Oseni by northbird: 3:37pm On Oct 24, 2024 |
Dogalmighty17: Tinubu will be re-elected only if those three ego filled idiots, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso refuse to join forces and present a unified front. Tinubu can assure either Atiku or Kwankwaso that he will hand over power to them in 2031 and you will see Atiku or Kwankwaso do everything to scuttle the PDP. Thats exactly what's going to play out. Atiku particularly deludes himself into believing that he is destined to rule Nigeria. That's why he keeps changing parties like a prostitute. Tinubu will take advantage of that.
Tinubu also knows that the north won't fully commit to supporting Obi so he'll allow Obi continue his condolence tours undisturbed.
In a nutshell, our tribalism and weaponised poverty plus a very compromised INEC will be what keeps Tinubu in Aso Rock come 2027. Nigerians are too stupid to be helped. Apt. |

Pearl1910: This somehow works if your engine is shorting oil, so u have to top 1litre or 2litres before u get to 2000miles. Meaning u still have fairly fresh oil in ur engine by the time u are flushing it out for servicing. But except your engine is shorting oil then u are wasting money. It's better u use semi synthetic 5w30 instead. And change at 4000-5,000miles. This way ur engine remains clean and free of sludge. Apparently u are spending more on oil already cos 2 cans of 20w50 is more expensive than 1 can of 5w30. while not still getting the best results. Mineral oil will still leave sediments, carbon burns and sludge in your engine due to degradation. The target is to ensure the car gets new oil latest at 2500km and it worked. Most cars in ehailng are old engines. Typically over15 years old. |

Omoapena: Someone said I shouldn't switch to 5w-30, but I can switch to 20w-50... I used Mobil 20w50 for 4 years Corrolla 06.. Engine is very quiet. Your challenge is you don't service on time. At the time I was using it. The service schedule was btw 1600 -1800 on the dashboard. Worst case 2000. I snapped the dashboard everytime I service. So I check my gallery with the dashboard after like 3 weeks. Though I never travelled with the car. |

2500km is ideal to change the oil. Regular oil change is the secret to a long lasting engine.
Travelling inter state pulls a strong toll on the engine. I decline interstate trips because if you do the maths, it's always a loss for the engine. As long as it's ehailing ( commercial use) , the car must be serviced regularly to remain in pristine condition. |
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by northbird: 3:28am On Oct 17, 2024 |
