I noticed Bolt didn't give me bonus campaign this week. Na only me waka come?

Baba, there's surge now. .

For newbies.

Herbert Macaulay way.

A. Traffic light at adekunle junction,Yaba. Coming from Clinic road,

Maintain your lane by the traffic light before adekunle police station.

Pitfall.

If you are going straight ahead. Don't be absent minded and stay on the extreme left.
The traffic light gives the "greenlight" at the same time to those turning left and those going ahead.

Stay ONLY on the extreme left if you are turning left. The MIB gisting innocently by their traffic cubicle are codedly watching out for this.
The middle lane is preferable, avoid the extreme right, some vio guys squeeze themselves on that junction sometimes.


B. Hughes Street junction.

Don't run the light for any reason. if you are coming from clinic road.


C. Higher college road - Herbert macualy way. No traffic signage unfortunately , but do this.

If you are coming from Ikorodu road, jibowu axis, heading to Herbert macuulay way, i.e, you are heading towards clinic road.

The road splits into 3 lanes
If you are going straight or turning left (to Harvey road, University road, Onike, iwaya) Avoid the lane on the extreme left. Maintain the middle lane.

Rule : Don't be absent minded, avoid the lane on the extreme left. You maintain this arrangement till you get to Sabo. /commercial avenue traffic junction. After you cross Sabo traffic junction, this enforcement ceases.

ThatNiccur:
Driving on Uber is peace of mind 90 percent of the time, compared to Bolt.

What do you mean by this?

Safety, income, surge, ease of getting rides. etc.

Wait, abeg this one way, if I'm going to the airport from Lekki. N I take the apapa /Oworonshoki express, instead of using Maryland.

Are you saying the small untarred detour to the right is the one way or which one Abeg.?

I hate isolo trips, ladipo, aswani, and all that axis. The uniformed men there are just too hungry.

Pearl1910:
The prosperity of a nation is in the hands and attitude of the people. e go hard for black nations to prosper. Our mentality and ideology is skewed. I still wonder why foreigners...Americans, Europeans, Asians and sometimes Indians and Middle east people are always completely different from us. God why?

Baba. You need to see the Chinese riders I hv encountered, very efficient. These guys don't waste time.

I mean the last one, I picked from Sheraton hotel going to V. I. The guy was already waiting for me at the lobby. Infact, I learned something new that day.

Nastydroid:
why them come charge paid waiting join

Because you wasted time. Once you get a notice, prepare to come out.

All the Asians I have picked up, they were waiting and looking out for me and not the other way round.

OmoOshodi:
I just saw this....could this be true in November not December yet o...senior pilots

Nothing out of the ordinary here. The last week of October was laced with surge. 29th,30th and 31st of October was surge throughout.
On the 30th,(Saturday) i grossed 42k. with a net of 30k.

Pearl1910:
You are missing the point.

But U see that desperation...that's d difference between achievers and d rest of the crowd.
It's better to be desperate and have results than to be cool, calm and calculated and remain on the same level.

Desperate or not.

1 million gross still won't make you save 1m in a month. The figures will never add up.

Pearl1910:
If u aim for 2m and land in 1.5m nko.
But it's fine if it's slow and steady u want to do, No lele. But don't say 2m is impossible.

Please, show me how SAVINGS of 2M in two months is possible with Uber.

2 million you didn't save in 10 months of driving in a year. Then you now plan to save same in 2 months.... Desperation.

Even if you gross 1 million in a month, you still can't save 1m in a month. That's the best scenario. 1M gross. Still you can't save 1M. The figures don't add up.

Slow and steady.

Godfather10:
HOPE YOU FOLKS ARE PUTTING YOUR BACKS INTO MEETING THE N2m Targets btw Nov & Dec.
Trust me folks it can be done and if invested wisely should yield an income of N150k all year long, stay focussed folks.
I have set a target of £1400 wkly for myself. Did badly this week , £916, that’s almost £500 below my projections.
Need to work harder, no excuses for not bringing home £10k home )Nigeria) in Jan

Good for you. Back here in Lagos, there is no Uber driver that can save 2M naira within two months. That's an overkill. That's like 250k savings weekly .


For me, slow and steady wins it. A target you didn't get in the first 10 months of the year, (doing 50k weekly, which is quite achievable), you then plan to achieve same in just 2 months. It's a recipe for disaster.

Seriously..... avoid any trips after Chevron. Just wriggled myself out of Orchid road.

BTW, the surge along dt axis nawa o . One lady going . (dt was just coming from yesterday's meeting.) to Oniru from Orchid road.
Told me to end trip at Chevron ( ended at ₦1,800) n quickly entered bus.

Bolt sef dey ready to cash out this season.

pope191:
Nah full sub you go do... people gathered and ask what happened, I ask her to explain, then I explain my side too, they fault her and ask her to pay. She start crying that I beat her, everybody vex like is she mad, calling her names, even aged women were using words on her. Las las she refuse to pay 2500, that she can only pay 2k. I took the 2k from her and just let everything slide.

She wanted to play victim..... Probably, the maga she was going to meet canceled appointment n she just wanted to Dagbo the trip to Isolo like that. . On indrive o.

IFEBARBIE:
Invasion not easy bro! I don't know about ikejaman (to type the grandpa moniker dey fear me)


Full timers are trying o! How do you guys soak in embarrassment and co, while picking riders from gated communities

As for me, I've blacklisted some of them. Toping the list is K farm. In fact I'm adding the whole of Iju to the list.

I think Berger and ogba peeps are trying small

Chai!

Na for Lagos, I go hear estate. and the roads within the estate are terrible.

Don't forget Unique estate, Baruwa. the first area to enter my blacklist. Gmap was practically useless there. I was physically asking for directions.... Estate o... Nawa.

komodapson:
I dey pity dem baba, honestly...I dey feel their pains walai...jokes apart. Seeing dem running helter skelter makes me to be grateful to God, òloun. Àje gbó baba... Life is just about privileges, to be honest with you...


@Oga Felicity... Please, how much is it to Fix faulty trunk of a Corolla and to get it solved once-and-for-all? Abeg......

This is embarrassing...àje

The problem is the locker. Buy a tokunbo,get a panel beater to fix it. As at last year, it was around 4,500.

eyinola:
6M for the 2 plots?

Baba.. Share the 1M naira strategy. Biko. I want a vacation in Jan.

Lanretoye:
Most especially in this country,he shouldnt be misquoted anyway cos he said "often"...i quite agree with him.those igbo guys that started apprenticeship turnout more successful in their businesses than most ofbtheir mates who enrolled in the university.i lay emphasis on the word "most".

Successful doing what? Trading.. Because, that's the main thing called businesses in Nigeria.

Any dummy can be successful in Trading..

Bolt bonus is real sha.. But I don't chase it. Seriously, I don't need 2k, when I could get more than that if I put in more work. Not that I'm a big man or forming.

My sanity is more important . I don't go to areas I'm not familiar with.
I have never been to Ikorodu, Apapa on this game.

Give me a good trip, collect ur 20%, I waka...
No need to be checking any Yeye completion or acceptance %.

eyinola:
took a trip to vi, surge disappear omo i use indriver japaa back to mainland

Mainland dey surge scatter dese few days...

yommie007:
THIS GANJA BOIZ SHAAAA.....
PEOPLE PARA WELLA YESTERDAY OO... ALL TRIPS WERE ON SURGE ALL THRU YESTERDAY
A babe even swore to delete the app before she goes bankrupt..... despite wanting to borrow money from me to buy BOLI (roasted plantain).

She is just joking na.. , na as she take delete am naso she go download am back from playstore.

Bolt is the most accessible ehailing app for riders, abi na d other one wey you fit dey wemco Road and your driver go dey Ojodu berger.....

Saturday's s surge is a foretaste of December's pudding. Omo.. See surge for mainland. Come see ant earnings.

deedee44:

Baba , always pulling the legs, cougar kwa..
Na middle age women be dat now...

The guy is a joker though.. How many naija middle age women fit give cash for bedroom sturvs. When no be obodo oyinbo women.

BTW, that your born again rider experience was quite hilarious, , I burst out laughing. Omo, una won kill person wt laughter for dis place.

peacefulhome:
Okay thanks once more

You are welcome. Though, it's not like the rates are super,But it sure beats putting it in a traditional savings account. At least ,you get something on your money that has not been touched by you for several months.

peacefulhome:
Okay boss, nagode.
Modify
Which will you recommend for a salary earner among the investment? Money market fund Or Equity income Fund? For a start, I want to start with six months , there after withdraw my investment and invest again.

Pls can I send you a mail? Needs some guidelines, thanks boss.

Chief, Seriously, I wouldn't know. Because your present circumstances might vary from mine.
Reach out to them stanbic, ARM, andco., they will be in a better position to advise you.

YeyeGbami:
Bro do you have any review on FBNQuest?, read about them yesterday. Polaris been using my money play since early this year on top 2% p.a.

Pre Buhari i was getting 8% from them.

No bro. My opinion though, fbn doesn't strike me as an investment bank. I mean banks whose main core is Investment e.g.Bnp Paribas.

komodapson:
Baba...give me average ROI on N1m? Tenor 4months

At 8% p.a, After 4 mths, 26-28k, give or take Note, it's always compounding, so you will see the upward movt on your money yourself on your dashboard (when you login).

VaselineCrew:
My net profit today is just 1k, chai! Bought fuel 2,500 that has almost finished running round looking for trips. Next time I’m not leaving my house till I get a trip.

Today has been rough.

Mainland was good. Back to back trips laced with soji.

peacefulhome:
Please can you educate more about money market fund? Thanks in advance.

Google stanbic, ARM. Money market fund. It will give all you need.

[sup][/sup]

IFSHR:
The fact that he promised you and probably didn't redeem his promise to you, shouldn't warrant you coming out to call him a scammer.

If you offered him a service or sold something to him and he intentionally didn't fulfill his part of the bargain then you can call him out in that manner..

What you did is defamatory and he can make you pay for that.

What he did to you is deceit, and deceit only becomes a crime if it's part of theft or intention to steal from you.

No one owes you anything in this life, if anyone give you anything is just out of sense of responsibility or philanthropy (Even your parents) ...
Destroy that your self entitlement, go out side there and grind.

I agree with you. But can you blame the young man.
GeneralZodd came blazing through like Baba Olowo.

You know that kind of thinking , "what's 50k in several millions of naira," that's chicken change now... Make I quickly send my aza before baba Olowo forgets....

But reality hit johnchrix quickly. Nothing is free, even in Freetown.

ThisisIkemefuna:
Brother can we talk via WhatsApp?

It's open bro, just walk into any of the offices I mentioned, enter stanbic , ask for money market fund. , Currently ARM is 8.0 something %.
@ least you get something monthly on your money instead of making it sit in a savings account.

I hv seen an Uber guy with close to 2 million (1.7mil precisely) bucks in a savings account, n d thing don dey there no be 4,5 or 6 months.

I'm like, this dude is missing..... D economy is in a cost push inflationary mode, you need to multiply your naira daily for it to get value.

BAZ001:
Very good question,
please others should contribute what is the best wat out ?

I ve never thought of it, but with police it won’t be a problem you can easily have you way.
The car papers are in my name though but cos I already said I’m an Uber driver then, it’s being used for commercial purposes.

Elders what will you do ?

Police has no time for Uber drivers, they caught a bird, (yahoo boy), that is ready to part with cash, they will now leave sure Maga/cash to start haggling with Uber driver. Police...... , they Sabi bad market wella.

Felicity001:
I'd.iot

Until you your are privilege enough to fit walk inside my snickers you should keep quiet

Educated fo.ol that what you simply are.

Go rent a house first b4 you come here to speak all your cut and join unpunished English.

Baby boy

You are crude......

Which SNEAKERS? .... Dude. and what rent?

No more stuff in your arsenal... and you had to resort to blabbering on rent and SNEAKERS....

Felicity001:
Just look at yourself...

Stupi.d!

You think you van rant anyhow you feel like?

Fuvk u bro... What stupid entitlement ate you talking about? Id.iot... Do i know your fuvking mother? Fo.ol

Just negedu this one... U don help urself finish talkless of to help person?

Idiot! If you feel offended at my comment simply ignore it and stop forming like u know too much by using dictionary to form every of your sentences. If you claim to be educated enough why then are you driving with uber? What stopped you from working as the special editor to the dead president... Nonsense!!

English my foot.

Next time learn to mind yiut business rather than talking down on people's business where as you have zero option to offer.

Fo.ol

Oh... I struck a nerve..

I'll say it again, you have an overbloated sense of entitlement.

When cheerful called you a Dumbo, I thought he went too far. Now I know better.

Asking me how I didn't give him 100k when he needed it. Such level of effontery..

You displayed same mentality with your former principal at Mama radus place. and he (dru23) rightfully put you in your place....

Grow up....

obinoral1179:
tell me more about this?

If you have 2m in savings account, you won't get much.

If the 2m is in a market fund @ 8%, you get at least 18 - 20k monthly on your money.
