[b]If there’s no visible leakage and all the experiments are not working.Best is to keep topping. [/b]If the exhaust is already showing excess carbon burn. We all know the direction it will end. After servicing, I top mine with a ltr before next service, but chairman seems to be taking 2 now. I don’t need soothsayer to tell me anything again.

Best advice

pope191:
Boss say no more, you can convince me. Dispatch riders are aliens. They have plot of lands beside stanbic bank headquarter with zero worries.

Highest I can do is when I see anybody selling for bricklayers. I park car and join the party. Rice 300, yam 200, mix Ponmo and meat, bread and use 7up to wash it down. I can drive for 2 days uninterrupted.

Pope, i know you are joking , it's not everyday .. eating out is expensive no doubt. But I'm very careful , cos food sellers in a bid to sell cheap stuff, will go n buy the dregs of pepper ingredients ..
I'd rather spend on food than buy drugs.

pope191:
Astagahfirullah! What happened to Apple bigger 350 and gala 200. Ha! There must have been a point you people use money kept for fuel to eat unknowingly. Food 2k is too expensive 🤒 how much am I making a day ba yi 🤷🏻‍♂️

I stopped taking carbonated drinks. I feel more energetic.

Omoapena:
1 litre is about 3k+ now, I think 3700 or thereabout,, that's expensive spending that twice in a month after buying 16k+ 5litre oil...

You might be mulling the idea of opening your Engine. . Don't try it.
A corrolla engine hovers around 800k+.

If an extra 8k monthly. on oil that's like 96k yearly. Compared to looking for a new tokunbo engine.

96k versus 800k.

The better choice is obvious to everyone.

pope191:
2k food a day 😳 Agba baller 🙌 money nah water 😇

Dispatch guys sef dey chop there. Person gats fuel well to get energy. Driving is a really energy draining endeavour.

pope191:
2k food a day 😳 Agba baller 🙌 money nah water 😇

Oga pope, that's for one meal. It's one small restaurant off abgaoku Street, opebi. . That's cheap o.
Try "ile iyan " for Isaac John. ...

The naira has lost value. I bought meat pie - 600
Doughnuts- 350.. 1k already gone. ... it's the naira oh.

Omoapena:
🤣🤣🤣

I know you're joking, i don't think he means 2k food in a whole day, just guess he's saying a square meal in a day.

I roughly manage 7k to eat in a day and this is eating on a budget...

So if you eat 7k in a day. What's 25k oil choppings
in a month for the car?.

Omoapena:
1 litre is about 3k+ now, I think 3700 or thereabout,, that's expensive spending that twice in a month after buying 16k+ 5litre oil...

What is expensive about that? Let me ask you a question. How much is everything if you calculate it.?
16k,+ 8k..

Let's say 25k.. in a month . You call that expensive.?

That's like 850 naira daily debit timer on Opay account.
Very negligible expense, if you'd ask me.

I use hardex . Its 30k. n I drain my oil every month.
Some folks will say it's full synthetic. I tell them, that's Bullshit. Once you do 2500-3000km on the car, you should drain the oil. If you are into ehailing full-time, in a month, you will clock in 2500-3000km @ the minimum

The car is bringing in money, so it needs to be taken care of too.

Only new engines can be serviced @ 5000km intervals.

Omoapena:
I would have stick to topping up the oil but then, I can't be buying 1 litre of oil every 2 weeks, that expense is too expensive.

Using a 2006 corrolla before. It displayed same symptoms. Shortening of oil . 2weeks for 1 litre. But I don't mind.
If I can eat 2k in a day. Why can't the car eat extra 4k in 2 weeks.
I have been on that module for over 2 years. Car is as silent as ever.

Check for the seal @ the pulley and the seal between the gear and the engine body.
Especially the middle one.

Omoapena:
I would have stick to topping up the oil but then, I can't be buying 1 litre of oil every 2 weeks, that expense is too expensive.

How is that expensive? How much is oil?

1 litre every two weeks is very ok for an engine that has paid itself

Barbiturate:
Meanwhile, I don't understand this big price margin on bolt and indrive. If I had gotten this trip on bolt, I guess it would have been 13400 or slightly above

Bolt is better now. Just know when to use the app

Barbiturate:
Had a terrible experience today.
Picked this idiot guy from university road to "Lord Jesus estate around chevron....11200. My first trip this morning, on indrive.
When I got to the gate of his street, the flood was so much(picture attached) his house was just 2 houses away from the beginning of the gate. Pleaded with him that I can't enter cos the flood is kinda deep and my car is low. He insisted I must enter. The guys at the gate told me not to try to enter. They said all the cars parked outside the gate belongs to occupants of the estate. They park outside and use rain boot to enter.
There was a guy giving out rain boots for 1k. This idiot said if he will give the guy the 1k for the boot, then he would deduct it from the 11200. I refused and told him he would give me my complete money.

We dragged it for almost 20 mins. He started calling his people. So I felt threatened. I decided to call the police via the app. Immediately he had me reporting to the police, his friend abi brother that drove out from the estate with a high jeep, started saying; "the person you dey call police for, him papa na oga nla of police.....na you dem go lock for cell"

After much dragging, the guys at the gate started telling him to pay me my complete money and forget.....that he's bigger than this.
He eventually transferred my complete money, after wasting my time for 30 mins +

You think the guy has money ? He's just boastful.
I have ditched Indrive oh. Worked with Bolt this week.

lagosboy2k4:
full time

Follow ksmart advice.
Look for a civic 04/05.

Don't splurge all d 4m on a car. Budget 2.4 n another 500k to overhaul it.

If you understand the work . In 14 months you should be able to recoup initial investment.

lagosboy2k4:
good morning gurus in the house. pls i intend to get a car for ride sharing. I have a budget of 4 million naira. I know this budget may not get anything more than a Nigerian used car. pls which car will be the best to get within this budget that has good fuel economy, that is durable and rugged for this business?

Full time or part-time.

Omoapena:
I used 60k fuel in total, including the small small movement we did within the city...


The camry doesn't consume much fuel though

If she added to the total sum, maybe you might have a semblance of profit.
Inter state needs special calculations. If not ,you will just accrue mileage on the car for nothing.

Omoapena:
I never wanted to accept but the woman that chartered me was just begging me seriously, and I regret going for that amount cox I will have to spend 70k to fix my 2 shocks now.


But, for the experience, it was worth it, I enjoyed driving the camry that far distance...

How did you manage fuel.? You switched off Ac ba? Cos camry kind of guzzles fuel

Omoapena:
I sold the Hyundai and bought tokunbo camry


That's my baby


I wasn't driving the camry when she asked me to bring her to ekiti, it was the corolla, she just enjoyed my hospitality and how I stayed with her during her shopping for the introduction provisions she went to get....

I couldn't go with the corolla cox it's undergoing maintenance.

Good.. you have another solid client in your books.

Omoapena:
She later provided accommodation, the room doesn't have AC but manageable...

This is very good o. ... she try. Ekiti is not hot like Lagos. The sheets are clean. Is it your camry now or the Hyundai?. It's doing wonders. Clean cars bring offline clients.

Omoapena:
It was impromptu, i just carried her a day before n she asked me for my offer...

Just ask her she might be a considerable person.

Omoapena:
Na mistake wey I do be this, I'm responsible for my accommodation n feeding

You for ask comrades here before you guys finalise.. Ekiti is far bro..

Most inter City riders don't like paying. I usually shun such offers most times.

Dispatch guys make serious money on a low key. Esp guys with their own bikes.. multiple deliveries on a particular route.

turmacs:
Things like this mostly happens when you have stingy parents. Some parents prefer to impress outsiders with their money than to give their children.

Nobody owes you shit. The problem is the parents did not bring up the child properly. End of story.

A child that can scam his own bloodline will do worse things to people unrelated to him. Lack of proper upbringing by the parents.

Gwhizzy:
Thank you. My daily income expectation is 10k

That's quite easy to do on Bolt.
It's a good start to learn the ropes. I believe you have other income sources too. I'm sure after a month on Bolt&Uber, you will review this.

Let me give you a key on Bolt
DON'T CHASE BONUS. QUALITY TRIPS OVER QUANTITY .

You can throw in an extra 4k daily ( 1st /2ndtrip earnings is for the car) for emergency car repair & maintenance. Set up a daily debit ,opay, palm pay & any mobile wallet of your
choice.
So you have 80k monthly strictly for the car.

Gwhizzy:
Lagos,
Lekki
I am not really conversant but I just google map.
I will stick to bolt and Uber next week.

Next week ke? Ditch Indrive fast.

You live in a hot zone. Start with Bolt today. Drive with surge. Pick only trips with 3k and above. No penalty for declining trips.

2km. 10 mins pick up Max. ( you will see it displayed on the order screen)

Start today... since you are new. Stick only to lekki, v.i, ikoyi, chevron,orchid n co.

DON'T GO TO LAGOS ISLAND. ( eko, Uba marina, balogun,
idumota, marina,sura, Hawley,) and don't come to the mainland yet.

What's your daily income expectation?

Gwhizzy:
Please I have been doing indrive for 2 days now. And it just look like I am wasting time because I have not seen even 1 naira gain after buying fuel.

Which city?

Where do you stay?

Are you conversant with the routes?

Indrive is for experienced guys. Ditch Indrive for now.

Stick with Bolt n Uber.

That story made my childhood. Fantastic literary pieces abounded that time for children.

zubinike:
Then you must be pained for earning lesser, upgrade your skills and negotiate your pay if you are underpaid and can justify the work you do.....I know many in tolaram above 700 to 1m pay cheque.

Pained ke ? ..I'm good with my earnings. Many in Tolaram earning above 700? ; .

Many indeed.

How much is the salary of a RSM in multipro...?

zubinike:
Why pass fake news bra, performance review is one key part to justify your earnings. Tolaram pays well, so no salaries will be slashed unless you are not worth the pay

Really, they will keep up with Diageo's payment standard. .....
You don't know much. Let me ask you what is your definition of "they pay well"? 100k,130k?

john650:
Which Nigerian company fit buy Guinness? Except for Dangote, but that's not his line of business. Others will run it to the ground. The problem with selling it to Tolaram is that the Indians will run it on a shoe string. I feel sorry for the people still working for Guinness Nigeria.

Any sensible employee should start execution of an exit plan fast. No more fat paychecks. They will substantially cut salaries. That's their modus operandi. Indians.. Tolaram, well loaded with cash, they don't joke with their investments.

overall90:
And landmark is not is not part of the 200m Nigerians.

Landmark bought land and not the beach. The beach belongs to Nigeria ,one man is not going to stand in the way of a project that will benefit over 12 states., that's selfishness. Thats like over 50 millionpeople. . haba,try and be reasonable.

Mami chula whose structure was pulled down did not cry wolf. Mami chula is owned by a Nigerian too.

Juoflife1:
The only sw we know that is doing well is Lagos
Rest

Wake up from your dream. 70% of all fmcgs factories are sited in Ogun state. Think of any provision you buy in your markets, they are made in Ogun state.
Most of the biscuits you buy for children are made in Oyo state.
Any investor coming into Nigeria considers the SW first before any other place. Think, there's a reason for that.
