Yesterday evening, I was in traffic @ otedola underbridge/ CMD road for good 2hrs 30 mins. I covered only 3km from Aluasa heading to Magodo. . It was hell. .


From 42 mins on Gmap d tin enter 2hours 30 mins. Infact, he for pass, na rider conclude say we go end trip

( I was already praying in my mind for that , she con take bike finish d rest).

Infact, I'm just bothered going anywhere.

No compensation for being in traffic when you drive on bolt.

N dey were still sending me stupid msgs dt I hv high canceled orders....

[quote author=jaymejate post=94900496]Watch how a Bolt driver beat(harass) a rider. Maybe thebrider don vex am, but the reaction too bad. Well Bolt is taking it up. This will certify the rumour about Bolt drivers working for SARS.

Omo weytin go happen now?

you heard both sides of the stories?

A lot of riders just spin half truths n rush to d media space

newk007:
U Shaa want to test d river with two legs.... Obviously U will update us after spending like 4hrs+ for 4+KM

followed airport road, oshodi axis, road was very free.

eyinola:
Avoid mary to ikeja

Biko, which part, both lanes or just Maryland to Ikeja.

Protesters or just normal traffic.

jacobian01:
Please bro, can you suggest what I can venture into that will quickly make me to pay back the loan within the stipulated time, moreso I want to myself out of this meanger fetching job " teaching" that's y I'm seen e-hailing as alternative . Please I will grateful for your suggestion.

I can't , cos im not you. Different personalities n attributes. Some pple work well in d field, while some get deir best performance behind a desk.,

My opinion, 10 mths as a tenor is too short. That's lyk 25k/week. Try and negotiate the terms.

Sit down, don't go anywhere, use a whole weekend, and think. You will get an answer.

if you still hvnt got an answer, Don't go n buy a second hand car with a Loan.

jacobian01:
Good evening my brothers and sisters here, I have been following this thread for some months now and I have learnt a lot. I want to seek advice from experienced drivers and owners here about my plan of joining this business, I currently base in Ibadan, I'm teaching in a private secondary School here in Ibadan with a poor take home of 33k in an effort to increase my income I got a chance of securing a loan of almost 1m. I'm now planning of getting a car for e-hailing business because I need to do business that can make me refund the money within 10 months but am afraid of going into this business, I'm planning of starting here in Ibadan but I can still relocate to either lag or abj. Please I want a sincere advice about this plan. Can I get a car around 1m that will not give me problems and will be able to pay back the money within the stipulated time provided that I drive by myself.

Don't buy a Nigerian /used vehicle. I repeat DONT buy a second hand vehicle with a loan

Bolt is not too profitable in Ibadan.

Cos there is no way you can save 1 million in 10 mths,.

Sit down n think, there r oda things you can do with dt loan. You want to sink all that money on a car. Broda, you sef reason am na.

tojahh:

No near here o!

You go EndSars with your car

Baba , i no even get d energy....

Dt yesterday traffic fear me, viewing from Gmap alone,

mrjaydee:
Lekki TollGate is currently blocked. Oyingbo is also blocked.

Waohh. Thanks Baba.

Cc: Jaydee, babadee, tojah, n other island peeps.

Abeg is d protest still on this morning for second tollgate...?

mrjaydee:
Endsars protesters don block road.. tomorrow they are going to block MM1 and MM2.. brace up guys for tomorrow's traffic.

But IG don dissolve SARS.

Well dose SARS had it coming sha.

Since last week, na serious OWU dey blow them

mrjaydee:




Make nobody accept trips going towards second tollgate lekki.. the road is totally blocked...

Wats going on there, any heads up.

Duke111:
Yes he is on Whatsapp. 0805 252 9370

Has he paid you?

@ d lady who mistakenly sent 31,000.

If you r here, let's know.

The case is easy peasy. Just one move, d guy will come out of his shell. They won't even beg him.

You don't even need to write Bolt sef..

ProfAmaben:
Yes. That's OC SARS money. Even the police you see at junctions are also tasked 2k per day by their bosses and this fee depends on the DPO. If you don't drop the money, you'll be posted to a miserable schedule.

You are lying. Nobody tax SARS official #350,000. in a month.

Bloody liar. The reverse is the case.

These officials bid for those juicy postings.

davit:
Only a driver who doesn't read signs on the road will still fall for this. All the marks are there. Good sharing though.

Funny enough, three cars took that same turn, and they were parked one after d other by d lastma guys...... It was very funny.

For the sake of emphasis and for the new guys on the block.

You can't turn left to Oniru road from lekki - Epe expressway facing Falomo bridge.

.

Duke111:
Thanks jpworld i really appreciate the effort. I don’t know how e will be busy since 3 days now to pay for services rendered to him. Ppl dey wicked and me now go dey show riders peppered peppermint now. I will adopt ur approach henceforth now. I have his office address in ikeja i can send that to you.

The rider is a bloody liar. He was already notified of the reversal by the bank., so he shouldn't claim ignorance. What kind of busy is that? He has been eating food for the past three days, but cant do a transfer, somtin that won't take 3mins.


In addition, download your bank app on your phone.

For the cases of ladies ( who dont have shishi on them but like uber rides) who dey request for by third party.

And those who claim they don't have their ATM with them..

Felicity0001:
Guys pls I need urgent response... Some ladies need any hangout place either in VI, Ikoyi or lekki where they can hangout till down.

Folixxx

ethicallyright:
Modes of operation of security agents in every country are different and based on profiling even in America. Even Black cops are more likely to be more careful while arresting a black thug.

Policing in Mexico is different from policing in Sweden or Switzerland. In Mexico, when you are covered with tattoos, their police literally strips you down to even your underwear to ensure that you are not peddling drugs. The Mexican police understands through experience what the drug cartels are capable of and how they appear. Someone in Australia or Europe would consider that an abuse of human rights.

The Nigerian police force uses the method that best suits Nigeria. If a foreigner from Western Europe arrives Nigeria , the individual would be surprise that Ak-47 rifles are used even in the absence of combat because police in their countries make use of pistols. Governors in such countries most times move with less than 5 security details.

Are the Nigerian police force wrong to use Ak-47s in broad daylight? Absolutely no. Even terrorist attacks in the UK are perpetuated with knives which shows the effective control of even civilian grade guns in that country. The Nigerian system demands that Law enforcement officials are always ready for combat at least with semi automatic rifles because an average Nigerian armed criminal moves with a superior weapon and there would not be enough time for reinforcement due to the state of bad roads , air response and other factors.

I hope it is innocent Nigerians that stole Ak47s after killing men of the force who represent the Federal Government of Nigeria.


The forerunners of this controversy have sinister motives.

They can run their fraudulent schemes without resistance, engage in their cultism parades in broad daylight , rebuild the local drug trade routes and strengthen the southern fire arms proliferation industry.


If the police force is reformed those celebrities who protested yesterday who are okay with the many policemen at their gates beating fans to pulp when they trespass would not have any police men attached to them because it is not so in the countries they visit. So they don't want to talk about reformation, they just want to stop a part of a larger whole because of their friends.

Nobody is interested in your epistle.

FSars, SARS as a unit no longer operate within the purvey of their calling.

They feel they are above the law, but they got it wrong this time, the power belongs to the people.

knytred:
Pls guys , is there any penalty if your acceptance rate on Uber is quite low , since j don’t want to cancel trips I rather not accept trips , and these days they give me trips with pick up greater than 5kM, please has any one been blocked for low acceptance rate , please not cancellation , Acceptance! Thanks

The acid test, you can tell who has more riders.

Act like d app doesn't exist, use it only as a last option if Bolt won't play ball.

I don't care about d sophistication of any app or its affiliates. In Lagos, I won't step on the pedal wtout knowing where I'm going to.

I asked where he was going and he mentioned somewhere very strange to me as at then; Baba Adisa. I told him I don’t know where that is.
He said it’s not far that we just have to make a Uturn at crown estate and face the destination.

That’s when I knew I was never going on that trip, I asked if he was going alone. He said No that’s there’s three people more. Two guys and a lady.

Before he could complete his sentence I was almost at Sangotedo [/quote]Baba this cracked me up

knytred:
In other news , I can log in into my Uber account after 2months , please can you guys see destination on Uber trips now ?

The moment dey fix dis, I will log unto their app.

[quote author=RocAid post=94643592][/quote]This is d Lagos thread though, but try n read up on d Abuja thread, though a lot of drivers in Abuja r not dt social media friendly, dey use telegram groups n watsap.

Have you done this before?


Do you have another source of income?


Why don't you start with rentals first? You will see rental @ 25k, you learn d ropes first...


I will tell you the truth, not discouraging you.

30k is a tall order in Abuja, 25k is till possible,moreover it's even HP., you will still spend on repairs.

Are you aware that the price template
for Lagos and Abuja is quite different.



12 hours per day, this is not office work o, it's all about positioning.

Before you pick d car, locate one or two Uber drivers who r active in d racket n dey will give you d low - down as per revenue.

Let me give you areas where you will find them.

Wuse2.
Bigbite. Esp in d morning around 6-7am. and @ nite say from 8.30-9. Ademola Adetokunbo

White house. Around Jevenik. Ademola adetokunbo.

GCL building. Aminu Kano crescent
Razor sharp. Aminu Kano

Felicity0001:



Every aboki with his kettle.

If the heat is too much for you in the kitchen, leave!

Only a few will understand what that N300 peanut you call it does to the system.

In the bull's eyes it curbs some bad elements. Reason behind more matured, reasonable and cooperate riders on the uber platform.

The Taxify fares in most cases are fix, you like as a driver get stuck in traffic or take a wrong route the fare remains the same, reason, you don't dare do extra distance after arriving at destination, on thw other hands? Uber will add the difference both in time and distance.

I present facts to you. No emotions here.

If you spend an hour on Uber, you just made extra ₦45. So is that wat you call better, or d ₦300 you take from naive riders? .......

Regardless of whatever platform you choose, it's all about d cheese.

"knytred" discovered something that he didn't know if Uber had not axed him.


In other words, you don't develop an asset and allow your competitor take over the asset cos of some programming codes of a machine. That's not a smart business move if you'd ask me.

Bolt on d other hand use the "carrot and stick approach"

I also experienced what knytred passed thru fir a week.

Imagine, just 500 accts like that, that's a potential revenue loss of ₦5,000,000-10,000,000/ weekly for them.
Or minimum 50,000 dollars monthly.

knytred:
What does this mean , they removed me from their app 2 months ago and all of a sudden I’m getting this

They r losing revenue....

I mentioned it earlier some weeks back, you don't cut your drivers lose cos of cancellation.

It must be a grave offence ranging from fraud, physical assault of riders and things that cud bring the app to disrepute.

Cos , yes , you r on boarding more drivers to d platform, but they r just what they are .. Rookies. .

N all you get is a cut from rookies. N such cuts don't increase d bottomline.

Felicity0001:
Moove or no Moove its still a welcome development to all drivers.

Uber still far better than Bolt.

Cancellation fee, and their
N11/min

Haven't you realised that Uber is gradually having more riders since Moove came onboard? Let's stop the hating. These are people that see prospect in the business so weather they like let them roll out 2020 cars for transport its nobody's business provided they didn't complain to anyone.

Says who?

What's #300. peanuts..

#10/min and #11/min , what's the difference.

In an hour, you hv just made 45 15 naira extra.

Don't deceive yourself about who has more riders.

The acid test is "per trip how far do you drive to pick up the next Order," that determines who has more riders.

chillex8:
All these to keep moove in business. Imagine a 2017 Corolla running 4km for a paltry #400.

They r trying to come to speed with Bolt.

For Christ sakes, how can you set fares for a Cab as low as #400.

Riders who just want to cross to d other street will order Uber after d driver has driven 2km to pick up.

Its a good one sha. Maybe I will put on my app...
