I'm sick & tired of partners coming over here to fault drivers without revealing who these people really are . What's the point ?
I think with evidence, we can start dealing with issues like this . There are innocent people here whose opportunities have been dented by these ' so called reckless and dishonest drivers' .

And their characters has nothing to do with this forum. It is just a societal abnormalities. Getting a driver outside this forum does not guarantee their good characters. There are bad & good people in every society.

Dont believe in everything you read in a book. Afterall Moshe is just another man like me&you.

And someone in Oshogbo told me bolt is active there too.

Phargbemmy:


I was shocked to know that Bolt now operates in Abeokuta aside from Ibadan and Uber is still and just a Lagos based ride sharing App. Bolt is dominating at the MO

3rd week and counting, am still afraid to get back to the road.

[b][/b]

**CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY SNEAK PEEK**

I scratched my head wondering how best to show appreciation to NLers. I didn't want to give something that is quickly consumed. Based on what I see everyday it seems there is a real need for people to be able to do basic code reading to inform/assist their mechanics (and know when they are being had), if I'm to accomplish my goal of changing the auto repair industry in Nigeria.

All 12 of these will be given away in December. I am still thinking of a fun, fair way to accomplish that. Input will be appreciated.

As always, thank you NLers. We may squabble but at the end of the day it is all love

Bring it on.

Make una no vex o, as we dey Work from house and less busy na to dey comment on every post for here.
Na politics talk we dey now

Bros, wetin Tinubu don do for me or us in Lagos ? What did he do specially for Yoruba’s ?
1. Apart from Lagos island, other part of Lagos na poverty stricken with bad roads, bad everything. You can’t compare Lagos to any other state in Nigeria. Do you know how much revenue Lagos alone generates compare to the development we see?
2. He empowered touts to be oppressing us in form of lastma, cbd and road union. you will be begging one Ilitrate in uniform with 20k cos of Tinubu.
3. Which leader? Abeg no go there at all, is it [b]Buhari dt is d major problem we have in Nigeria today? [/b]Any other person will do better than Buhari. In fact mentioning Buhari has tinubu achievement is enough reason for everyone to dislike him. You didn’t even mention
Fashola, Ambode, or osinbajo? Buhari

Abeg I no mean to derail thread but how can Buhari be achievement

I hates to discuss Nigeria & her politics because majority tend to be emotional rather than factual about issues arising
Let us always be factual in our postulations;
Abgeros have been in existence with their known signature even before the emergence of Tinubu.
How can the founder of a body be blamed for the personal misdeeds of its officials?; you mean the gigantic corruption of our politicians was caused by the founder of Democracy??
Hahaaa, NA WA OOOO.
Thousandths of graduates were being regularly employed by these Lagos state agencies.
Will you blame the apps companies for the bad behaviors of either the drivers or riders?? That's not objective thinking.
Our problems started even before Tinubu came to limelight of Nigerian politics.

Even on our ehailing platforms, when we tried to talk to the apps companies (on issues that affect us all) by way of strikes, majority of drivers refused to comply. Citing different excuses.
Even though our problems are very complicated it is not insurmountable.

NaijaCr7:


The trajectory of discussion has been minimised by your new narrative....the formal is something only one person can't loot or take control over....the new trajectory of 1000dollars in a wallet is something I can fold and throw inside my bag bearing in mind we are not discussing morals..

Gentlemen, Nigeria problems transcends a single man. Are you saying no any problem in Nigeria/Lagos prior to the coming of Buhari/Tinubu?
Our problems are more of collective actions&inactions of this society(us).
There's more i can say but........

abefeabebi:
We guys have to be extra ordinary careful when driving as Lagos state is really in need of revenue with the lost in this protest, especially lastma and Vio office burnt in different parts of the states,all there operational vehicles gone at ojodu.no more begging na tickets straight. let's be prepared.

I thinks on the contrary, the happenings should make them to be humbled. Fear suppose catch them, so it wont be their turn to taste the concoctions. At least for 2-3 weeks now, our roads should be free of road check points.

donfortune48:


And that is not the kind of person Nigeria need as president to move forward.

GEJ is too soft, Buhari is too wicked, OBJ is devilish.......
Then what kind of president will make Nigeria works?......
DON'T BE SURPRISED SHOULD AN ANGEL BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO GOVERN NG WITH HER CURRENT SYSTEM HE WILL SURELY FAILED AS WELL.!!!!!!!!
There's a fundamental structural defect about our problems which connotes it was designed to fail. We cannot continue to use sane formula to solves an equation and expect a different solution thereafter.
My personal opinion though i could be wrong

dairyguru:
This is good news to our Lagos customers. We now have a warehouse at the Isolo Industrial Layout area of Lagos state.

Cowbell - N30,500
Miksi - N 29,500
Ornua - N 27,000
Micalac - N 23,000

Pls what is your office address in Isolo

Guys i read herein on Nairaland that Sanwolu has invoked 24 hous curfew in Lagos state starting 4.00pm today.
How genuine is this?

And someone said he can't help a stranger. But am sure he would asks for help from a stranger if he find himself in such situation. Inside life....

davit:
Shortly after posting this, a bolt driver pulled over by my side without even stopping him. He asked me if it was battery problem. He immediately parked and brought his battery for me to use. I was really amazed. I barely picked his name as he drove off immediately my car started. This is good, guys. I ve vowed to stop and help any driver I see on the road henceforth. This is the Nigeria we yearn for. We mooveee.

Olayetan:



Helping stranger in the land of eko can be delicate and dangerous to the helper, I'm not saying you shouldn't help but you just gotta be careful while rendering one...

My reason for saying sometimes your intuition comes into play

3RNEST:

Can u help a stranger with your car BT?

YES, i have been helped by a total stranger; a woman for that matter, very late in the night o.
And i don't have to know you before i renders you help. Yes i know in some cases you will have to use your intuition

chucsmoore:
Massive crowd are likely to turn up later in day. I have feelings that this protest might not really yield the desired result everyone is clamouring for. Nigerians thinks we are still in GEJ era. He listened and empathized with the masses. but the naked truth is that we are dealing with a former Military dictator who has shed a lot of blood to get back to power after he was overthrown in 1983 by IBB. He lacks human feeling and his mentality about this protest is that it's been sponsored by opposition. I do not see him compromising and complying with this EndSars protest demand from the youths. And if this protest continues, he might want to deploy the military to protest grounds. No one fuucks with the Soldiers, they are Blood thirsty and trigger happy.

I do not agree with that non compromising part.
Structural revolution is achievable with this kind of energy and participation
Nigeria will be great again

I rush out before 6am today with the hope of returning home before 9am as am typing now i parked beside Africa Shrine because of traffic on otedola bridge, Ogba to berger is the worst of it all, fireservice r here working on moving the tanker from the road till then before i move this car from here meanwhile i tought i hv seen it all in this hustle

Me: so u mean u r not going anywhere?
Rider: yes
Me : ok sorry i don't remove my car battery
Rider: ok cancel let me request another person

This is a common practice na. I have also experienced such and i helped out. It could happen to anyone anytime. Reason i permanently have jumper cable in my trunk.

orgylover:
there is this uber driver that drove me long ago, the drver drove me to and from without collecting me a dime because i genuinely lost my wallet. i save the drivers number on my phone but mistakenly deleted it. is there a way i can still linkup with the driver. i wanted to show my appreciation by giving the driver 50k. will uber link me up if i ask?

Yes, they will. If you explain as herein and you are able to give them the trip details

AngryIgboDon:
I don't blame some human beings in this life. The person I blame a little is God who keeps on creating "Very useless things" that leave their brain offline before coming online to type, tweet or comment.

I find it funny when people accuse Bolt drivers of taking riders to Sars officers. This is a blatant twist of truth.

What I find even more funnier is that same folks are advising same riders to take Uber or "others" instead of Bolt.

If I will ask, is it not same drivers that are on Uber are on Bolt too?

What changed?

You are extremely insensitive and out of line by blaming our one and only creator!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!
SO YOU ARE NOW THE ONE TO INSTRUCT GOD WHO & WHAT TO CREATE??
Nothing man no go read on Nairaland.

MODIFY; You need to immediately seek for God's forgiveness for typing out such foolish statement.....
Sorry for my choice of words but is what it is.

Babadee1900:

But truth be told, we all should be part of these on going protests because we all desire a better Nigeria.

abefeabebi:
Pls Bolt requested for verification on WhatsApp, on clicking d link some details was filled, next I saw verification cost 500naira and BVN and NIN was requested for. Hope this is not a fraud. Pls urgent reply needed. I done pause for now

Na so e be, not fraud.
I did same about 2 months ago

pharod:
A friend of mine wanted to transfer ₦3100 to the driver after a ride and she mistakenly sent ₦31,000. Now the guy is no longer taking her calls.
I instructed her to come here and present her proof so that we can help her track down the driver and recover her money, just like we've helped when one of ours is in such situations.

Please, she'll be here shortly... In any way we can, let's help her out.

She got here before you. I saw her mention up there.

Kamikaze42:


Thanks brother. Is there a specific way of booking for the training or simply booking an appointment as usual is sufficient and i tell them it is for training when I get there.

I want to avoid wasting time as those guys are somewhat haughty. I would like to use my break time within the next week.


Thanks

It is better you attends the morning training and your break time won't be enough because you will spend more than one hour there.
Make sure you go with your driver's license (original)
MODIFY: No need for booking, just get there around 8:30am, 1st training should commence around 9:00am...(not sure)

Nigeria is really messed up!
Though one cannot be careful enough but discretion many times saves ( if Allah wills).
I had one experience last year December. Was still a new driver on Uber then. Around 10pm, this request beeps and i accepted, called rider; said he's going to Lekki or Sangotedo area. In about 5mins, I arrived at PU(Ilaje in Bariga).
Two men and a woman came out with some light loads and was asked to oo3n my trunk.
But I alighted from the car before opening my boot in order to quickly peruse what they are putting in my trunk.
Hmn, i was a broom, wooden box for seating, cutlass and some other stuffs in a sack.
My heart beat immediately accelerated to about 250 counts per minute. I didn't outrightly cancel the trip cos the street self was so deserted.
So i started the trip and on getting to a third street which was still active, i switched off my engine and pretended there was a fault. I ended the trip there. They were somehow disturbed but do i care!!!
They moved away from me and I think they were making another request but me just zoom off.

Slurity:
I think we can even know each other. My set finished in the year 2003. I am talking about Mr Osagwu. He won the award not quite long ago

Hmn, far from it cos I finished in 1991
Actually from Aita. I may chat you up on watsapp

Slurity:
Another from Ekiti again? One of my teacher won this award about 5 years ago, he won the best in Ekiti and also best in Nigeria. From Ilupeju High School, Ilupeju-Ekiti.

Waoooo!!!!
I finished from Ilupeju High School, Ilupeju Ekiti and a native of same.

I have driven exclusively on uber platform for almost a year and only two months thereabout on bolt.
I concurred the former is better in all ramifications except in aspect of trips availability i.e. no of app users(riders); Bolt is far ahead due to reasons known to almost all of us here!
In conclusion, the higher the number of riders, the shorter the wait time for next request, the higher the number of trips and therefore the higher the income at close of business.

bellyjean:


Boss.

Trust you are good.

Please can I contact you? Just to know more about the bolt registration.

Thanks

Sure, you can.

hefelove:

I said dem tell me too na

And the person that told you is an Angel abi?
