BAZ001:
I heard it before don't know if it has happened to anybody here. just play safe.
I've picked one of the bolt staff before , the fair fine lady, we even stopped by their office before taking her home. imagine if i had canceled on her without going to location.
You think Bolt are not aware of the challenges of driving within Lagos, reason why they left the various escape points....

Bolt can't be blocking accounts for such frivolous stuff, because it happens everytime.

You know they will also lose too. Imagine blocking 100 accounts that gives them minimimum 10, 000 weekly. That's a quick loss of 4,000,000 in a month. Cos of trivial stuff like arrived now & canceling. Not fraud, physical assault of riders or endangering riders.

As long as you don't cross thresholds programmed into the app, a single employee of Bolt can't unilaterally touch you.

@ Farmerakinloye.

Thanks for the video.

If I get the chronicle of the events leading to transplanting right.

1. You makes holes for the seedlings.

2. Then you spray the soil with insecticide to kerp off insects ( esp. Variageted grasshopper from cutting the leafs)

3. Then you transplant.

My questions?

1. Can you transplant immediately after spraying the farm with insectide? or you wait for sometime


2. You mentioned 50 ml of insectide poured into knapsack sprayer.. What brand of insectide did you use? Dilution factor, how many MLS to 1 litre of water.?

3. For 3 plots, how many MLS of insecticide will be needed.

Thank you and Keep up the good work......

@ kanoski.

I presume you r in Abuja?. If yes. Then you hv got no probs.

'Your cancel' and 'client did not show: columns when added must not be more than 20%

You did not accept less than 40%

Client cancelled-- you shuffle.

Case study, as you take more trips, your activity score increases, automatically, some of the columns will begin to go up.

If it's your 'client cancelled' that is going up, that means the "you cancelled" and "client did not show" will go down automatically.

That means if client cancelled is going beyond the normal threshold, you will have to miss some trips to bring it down.

I have a corolla how much can I make monthly if I decide to drive it myself? Is it profitable what are the numbers
There are no hard and fast rules as regards how much you will make

It depends on a lot of factors :

1. number of hours you can commit;

2. level of experience ( a rookie can't make as much as a veteran) ;

3.where you are resident island/mainland ( trips are more frequent on the island than the mainland, by extension, it means more earnings for

One thing is imminent, fuel is going up.

Mobil oil 20w50 that was 5100 before, it's now ₦5750.



₦67/km,₦11/min........ at least 20% of your earnings.

Brethren, let no one talk you out of developing an exit plan. If you don't have one yet.

Good morning boss! Please does one's rating affect the category he can drive on on bolt?

I'm on 4.70 but I recently began to see only the bolt category.
I think so, two categories, Bolt n corporate. Most times, the corporate is usually card trips and fares r slightly higher.

But most riders (Naija factor grin) chose Bolt, so don't worry about d category, it's just a slight difference.

However, if your ratings improve, the app will add d ' corporate' option to your account.

grin. They should ask Moove, how far? 50k weekly shocked.

Sometimes, I think LASG overestimates how financially buoyant it's residents are. A lot of people are just getting by.

The question is : Can a brand new car operate on a 65-67 naira / km price template?.

Good Morning everyone. Hope u all had a blissful sleep..

Bosses in the house i need your experience on this one:

I noticed the at the gear oil in my car (Big daddy 2004 )was below guage, so yesterday i bought sea max dexron 111 to top the oil... Now when i drive my car jerks when im driving it. It doesn’t pickup immediately when i match the trottle.

What is the possible cause of this?
Try n see your mech. It's possible you poured more oil into the system. Also, is it the same brand of gear oil you poured into the system.

When it's comes to the engine n gear in a car, always do things under the guidance of a mech. They have more experience in such things.

Tell them bro. Nigeria makes policy decisions that take her backwards, in the opposite direction to development

Mass transit is the solution to urban traffic gridlocks, not private luxury taxis. At times one wonders how certain people became leaders in this country when they constantly reason like crackheads.
Wa gbayi. You catch the drift.. To minimize urban traffic gridlock, mass transit is the way... Not brand new taxis.

People say after all, they use Mercedes in Germany, UAE n Co... I laff n ask them, can you compare the quality of roads on their streets.

@ ekehopp, I don't see any immediate threat here...

Unless they want to charge rock bottom fares for the brand new vehicles.

Most people r used to the ₦65-67/km price template, so it's going to be hard to charge more...

Brand new vehicles for taxi in a city that is struggling with road development, especially on the mainland, the roads there are terrible...

This circled shows that the drivers will remit 50k for 120 months (30months X 4weeks in a month).
Drivers will surely default severally with these plans.
That one is a given. There is no driver that can drive 52 straight weeks in a year.

The problem from the start was the choice of that spec of corrolla. It's too damn expensive to maintain for the fares on Uber.

Do you use coolant?

Coolant has a high absorbing heat capacity than water. Also, coolant helps in preventing rust than ordinary water.

Get ABRO from a reputable shop for starters, it's like 1k now. Pour everything into the radiator. N top up with water. Check the following morning, I'm sure you won't pour as much water as you previously do.

What if they check the Driver’s license and the name doesn’t tally with the medical report.
Driver's license means permit/license to drive. It's not related to tinted permit.

There's no law against driving a tinted car that is not yours.

As long as uber/bolt has the power to sack (block) you because of rating then you are an employee to them because they dictate how you should do your work. If you're self employed then all terms and conditions should be yours to make
Baba WA gbayi. That's why Uber sent that 26 page document before you could go online....

You dictate the terms n you still say I'm self employed....
That's a sane society, the drivers know the laws, you can't come around and push them over cos they are driving...

They take 25% off you and still want to control your itinerary.

If you r not familiar with the traffic lights @ Allen junction. Watch out.

Some MIB now hide in plain sight on motorbikes.
Atimes they blend into the normal Okada guys hustling by that Allen junction.

Don't try to beat the light, once it indicates Amber, you can stop. If you move on amber, they will follow you.

I spotted a particular guy, he used to be part of the MIB by oba akran junction besides firstbank.
But it seems the Allen junction route is more promising for them grin


Also they hide by that roundabout by Toyin where the fela statue is presently
Don't be in a haste. Use the roundabout, don't turn anyhow n allow any bagger to fleece you.


Be guided.

the winners in this set up r the app companies.

E hailing is a stop gap. If you continue in it, it will drain you of any potentials left in you.

E hailing has the ability to suck you in and spit you out.
After a couple of years, you will look back n you haven't made much development as an individual.

I didn't work throughout last week, I only worked on Sunday, valentine's day. What was I doing?

Sitting down n critically thinking of my exit plan. No dstv, no videos, no watsap, no social media I shut myself in.

On the 5th day, two powerful ideas came barging thru. These ideas won't come if I was driving in the chaotic and high pressured Lagos metropolis...

Cos driving drains mental energy, and that is the case of every single person driving in Lagos for money, you won't have time to CRITICALLY THINK.

Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, 12 months already gone. February ends next week.


I will travel next week to start implementing the plans,, whether perfect or not

Anyone on rental, work for 5 days, but the remaining two days, Shut YOURSELF IN, :
no booze, drug, women, weed or wine. Think, think, an idea will drop on you that will liberate you from this rat race.

Is ehailing the only stepping stone that must be done before making progress?
I wanted to reply your first message on angryigbo's post but decided to keep mum thinking that would be your only reply on the topic. You seem to be troubled anytime someone tries to encourage drivers to look beyond driving. Don't worry as you would always get drivers to drive your cars no matter what happens as people will be in need of work.


This your post makes no sense in any way.
