Good morning, please what’s the best route to sango ota toll gate?


I have tried looking for the post that directed on how to move but I can’t find it. This movement is urgent ���
Put ekoro /command road on the Gmap. It will lead you. From there ask for sango ota route. Don't use d expressway o.



When you get to Abule egba bustop.

You must make a u turn @ Access bank before Ahmaddiyah.

Don't use the sango Abeokuta expressway.!

If Government agencies or spies want information, I doubt if they will come to nairaland to look for it, all they have to do is take a trip on either platform and ask the driver lots of questions (riders do as alot of questions about the hustle, any of them could be a spy undecided )

Or better still enter one of the numerous telegram/WhatsApp groups. Many drivers I have meet on the road don't even know that this thread exist.

I have been posting my earnings so that people like you will react, the other day someone jumped on oga gentlelife50 for posting he's dashboard

The screenshot below is for you, I made that during the sallah week ( offline not included grin )

Disclaimer: the earnings posted below was a one time thing ( since then I have been struggling to make half of that)
i still wonder why most of you still claim Bolt's money as part of your income .

Who r you trying to impress?

Good morning

Pls is 25k rental possible working on Uber and indriver only?

Bolt account blocked for cancellation since March and they have refused to open it
It depends. Where do you reside? Mainland or island. A lot of pple use one app n still score big.

I know riders use Uber more on the island than on d mainland.

So if it's Uber, resist going to d mainland.

Indriver for now is not fully functional, more of a supporting app.

CALL OR WHATSAPP FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION: 08036840986.
Why should anybody give you 30k weekly on HP n still give you an upfront of 200k with it?

When that same person cud get rentals @ 25-30k without bearing the cost of repairs.

Your offer is not in tandem with the current realities of d biz. Asking for 100% turnover shocked in 30 months in a biz environment you can't control d variables @least.

Sell the car and invest your money into other good yielding biz.

Ibeju lekki is like a compound name for so many towns under that axis ....just like saying Lagos mainland....knowing it encompasses surulere, yaba, bariga, and some other areas...same is to ibeju lekki.....

We have akodo, olomowewe, ebutte-ibeju and so on....Generally it's like 1hr + drive from phase 1....The areas are developing especially considering the Dangote refinery in process....Road can be busy due to influx of Big trailers heading to dangote refinery.....electricity is 60 out of 100....security depends on the town of settlement. Very close to key resort centres (premium).
Thanks bro..

I don't bother myself with any bolt bonus at all, except for the 8% commission.

Do you stay around surulere? I think that's one of the places one can do more than 4 trips between 5am and 9am

Bro. Sorry about that, I don't do bonus campaigns on Bolt.

In d morning too. 4 trips, get ₦2,000. In Lagos, esp. On d mainland.,chances of completing 4 trips before 9am in the morning is very slim.

They are just being manipulative. It's a all or nothing law. . You ended up making more money for them. embarassed

26 trips for ₦6,500. Abeg, I'll pass.

Brethren....

I was not happy seeing one Camry nabbed by d MIB around Boladale street , oshodi yestday.

Thing happened right in my presence.

Though there was a one way sign, but it was not properly placed. for God sake which kind of city is this.

How do you put a one way sign on a pole adjacent to the road it was intended for?


Watch out for this 2 one way traps around Ikeja axis..

1. Boladale road connecting Lagos Abeokuta expressway via church street.

If you r descending from the oshodi expressway coming from Island.(that is if you took d ramp to Apapa/ Bariga.


Whatever your map says follow this

- take your right to Kunle Akinosi street,

- @ the end of kunle akinosi, take ur left.

- immediately u take ur Next right again. Don't go straight...... That's where d trap is.


2. Dosunmu road , I'm not too sure of the name of the road. Its d road DT connects you back to Lagos- Abeokuta expressway from Ikeja Gra.

The road runs parallel to the railway lines being built, so you can't miss it.

A one way sign is properly placed there, so you dont hv an excuse. There is a small stretch where you have to take a right turn to go n connect back to "works road."

Lastma r waiting on the other end of d road, grin with an unmarked white truck parked @ the end of that road,so if you r not observant, easily you wud not spot it.

Two things..
1. Work with your Gmap.
2. Observe how cars move in a terrain you r not familiar with.

Stay awake!

Those guys no get Joy o...

I was arrested at adebola house at opebi...

My car was driven to alausa...I was asked to go to taskforce head office at oshodi...

Pray you don't fall to their trap
What was your offence?

Did you park on the road or wat.

Or you maintained the right lane which was to turn right on red facing Allen.

Or you maintained right lane n you wanted to turn into Opebi link Bridge facing Opebi.

Sorry about your ordeal.


Guys.
Its an unwritten rule, don't park or stay idle on major roads. Look for a side street to park if waiting for your rider. Esp. On the mainland.

LASG /MOT just recently acquired over 10 of those flatbed trucks.
N if you know the way govt works, offenders are meant to bear the cost of that expense.

So they are on a serious revenue drive...

Stay awake!

. All these their new features Dey make work sweet
Bro. Forget poshness n all that stuff Uber gives. grin.

The bottom line is weda you r making money or not.

If you know how to juggle your allowances on Bolt, you will b fine.

For me o. Bolt is d king of destinations. 2 sure jokers of @ least 2 ₦2,500 trips in a day.

What am I asking for again.?

But you should also remind viewers that the revenue is " gross" and not " net".

Also,remind the viewers that the supposed jackpot happens once in a while, its not the norm.

Minus fuel and Tolls.

That should take like 22- 23k out of what you posted.

You are quite right bros. I came out around 11am yesterday and managed to do just 3trips: seliat bustop to marwa (abesan area); Gowon estate to badore(lekki); badore to agungi. Blew empty from there home. Uber really would have come in handy to help MRE with a trip back to the mainland.
Bolt is the king of destinations.

Yesterday, took a trip to mushin. From mushin got another one to Abaranje road ikotun egbe. embarassed

Didn't want to go before, d guys said other Uber cars were waiting too. Na so I chuk head...

Got to Abaranje, apart from d bad roads, na just ungodly trips I dey see.

I Started work by 3pm and closed by 8pm. I made 16k today on INDriver alone with power of Negotiation on app and off the app. No commission, No Cash discount, No Card trips. All the cash nah my own. BOLT still remains the King, but some days can be dull on Bolt, I had to switch on my INDriver app. Only 3 trips fetched me 16k today. Ikeja to ikorodu to and fro 10K,. Ikeja to Lawanson 2K. Surulere to Lekki Conservation centre 4K. If you don't have INDriver on phone, you are still sitting down on a long thing. Make use of this opportunity now before they start charging commission.
True words bro.

I hv d app. Experienced two trips on Thursday. On indriver.
