I've said it before that this twitter acct isn't official. It is just being operated by someone riding on NYIF to build the acct followership. I've read many posts from the acct which aren't professional or official enough to come from a govt acct.

A govt acct will never advertise things like this.

Be careful of any information you get from this acct.

Seems the beneficiaries have given up now as they have all gone mute. I would have loved to unfollowed this thread at this point, but I fear these people will sneak in through the back door and try to brainwash innocent Nigerians into falling prey to TELPECON again.

This is it

I still don't get the basis of argument that a owner driver can't safe/make more than 100k monthly to compensate for any future downtime, if drivers on rentals remit 25-30k weekly and still have something for themselves.

Pearl1910:
Na wa ooo...how much do u make a month on ehailing? I tot we have gone past this argument. If u drive ur car, u make way more than 100k in a month irrespective of gow many days or weeks in d month u drive. Many, many people have done HP of 2.5m - 3.5m in 2yrs successfully. Also, people have driven rental without defaulting for ones until they either moved on to other things or got car on HP.
But my focus is mainly on if u drive ur car or u r doing HP.

When I say I don't talk without prove, I meant it...
Without sounding pompous, I paid HP of 3m in 2yrs (100weeks actually), d week I couldn't pay, I compensated and spread it out in d coming weeks. When u make 70-100k in a week u can pay more than ur normal weekly payment, its for ur own good, so that the week u can't meetup owner no go vex too much. Now hasn't that owner recouped his investment and more in 2yrs?
Don't forget that drivers on HP also have d responsibility of maintaining the car. So they pay HP fees, maintain car and still have something for themselves. Now imagine if the guy owns d car an still maintains that same level of discipline and dedication.

Now, I drive my own car, I have bought atleast one car every year since I finished the HP, I can easily save (not make) 100k a month towards getting another car from the car I drive alone.

U also agree that a driver can net minimum 250k in a month and that's being conservative, repairs or no repairs

So why can't an investor/car owner driver recoup his investment in 2yrs?
How is this false information??
Have you been enlightened now

BAZ001:
So this Driver started trip going to lekki after I delayed him and told him we are coming to puncture tyre.
He started and I couldn’t cancel again. It was a cash trip. Destination to lekki.
Oga dey cruise dey go probably he will get to destination and say I didn’t pay.
Na so I change location to next street gbam, 600 naira.
He quickly canceled.
Na so I knack am 1*, still report him that trip didn’t happen.
I have 4sim to register if I get blocked and mind you App coys don’t block riders anyhow.

I’m dropping details here incase you are here or will read it later.

Kedro:
someone accepted and imputed your account details for you. Approval since 5 April, you're supposed to be credited by now

I don't think that's the case. Several people that got approvals recently, especially last week are having this issue. There are several like that on Facebook asking for help.

chillex8:
Flash back to 2017, when a strike like this held.

Romeo the highest earner those days was busy running round lagos with surge requests
He ended up damaging the Honda car he was driving then

Use your head brethren

Please, full gist. Was his car destroyed by aggrieved fellow drivers or what?

geezyk:
This one is planned my brother, shey you didn't see their 11k and 12k bonus for drivers? They def know what they're doing.

Whatever the cause of the surge might be, it only means drivers can force UberBolt to restructure if they can really carry out the strike effectively.

Ghost1994:
Bro this is unnecessary
Majority of drivers dont know theres STRIKE

Shey driver wey him wife/kid or any of his family member dey in critical condition maybe admitted in the hospital will want to join the strike? When he or she need fund to save life

Abi the driver wey 5k remain for his remittance will want to join the strike?

I think you can request and hear from them instead of letting them drive all the way to your location and giving them hope. We're all human being I pray you never encounter any bad condition that will warrant you to work like jaaaki.

Life is hard out there for many people please dont stress any driver instead message them via bolt or uber app.

Thank you

I understand you, but believe me, everyone will always have reasons to disregard strike call if they can.

geezyk:
Omo! Everywhere red!!! These app companies know how to handle Nigerians, we're too greedy, the sure will make many drivers go to work, and that's where the problem lies. GREEDINESS.

Might not really be about knowing how to handle Nigerians, naturally, there will be surge when there are fewer drivers. it works like that everywhere, even in abroad. It is basic law of economics.

godsonn97:
pls I'm new, how do you identify surge? I use Uber app

Off your app, surge will get your acct deactivated today. Surge is like a virus occasionally released to deactivate accts.

You can take surge after today

kanuisagoat:
I have to say I'm impressed with the level of compliance.

I hope you complied, and not impressed because you're having surged trips bro?

Getrich47:
The vehicle was used in a sci-fi movie titled irobot

Thanks for the education

I've seen another thread last week where Honda Civic was described as irobot in an ads. Is that another name for Civic?

erniewhez:
Its quite cheap at that price, but have you checked the mileage and also is the car within area you can reach? If yes!, take a good mechanic there to inspect the engine, drive it around and make sure its not having any mechanical fault. Also check the import documents if all is ok go ahead a pay. Its a dash for you! But if its not withing your reach pls think twice, there's something fishy.

Old thread.

I don't understand why these coys have refused to go back to the commissions they charged before covid era. I really enjoyed Uber's 3% commission after 25 trips or also.

Elgorny:
Your Opinions is welcome Good people of nairaland

Do both, know in your mind you're a Cameroon citizen officially while you use naija passport for anything you want to do in naija. Naija passport can be gotten cheaply, even a ghanian, just claim one LG with LG identification form and have your DOB cert, you can have your naija passport with this.

BernieLee:
Common gerarahia mehn...

Nigeria can advertise anything just to extort anyone. Kindle publishing isn't that easy or something you start advertising to people, especially if one doesn't have passion for publishing.

Imagine teaching someone KDP with 50k? Guess they have to shift to KDP tutorial since many people don't fall for Forex tutorial again.

IFEBARBIE:
this guys just kill my morale today after 2 rides. Ratings go just drop anyhow... Had to ask for reasons...

Don't worry yourself over rating, just continue driving and treat every rider right, your rating go still improve.

No dey over think this rating. Good luck

ArewaWife:
Did you apply with according to the name you are registered with under bvn. Thats the mistake a lit of us made during last year application

I doubt this is true. People with wrong names from the BVN names for approvalt, they only have problem with disbursement.

AmazingELixir:
Op so you don't know Yahoo boys have curses following them....they seldom survive auto crash and for that to happen the cars have to be damaged enough so that passersby like you can see the severity of the curses that hovers over them....it has absolutely nothing to do with the brand of car but the occupants.

Doesn't really have to do with curses but their reckless and drunk driving. Most yahoo boys are reckless drivers. If a certain group of people (yahoo boys) are fond of this lifestyle, they are sure bound to be most victims of fatal accidents.

Since they say no one is asking for the price, how much is this car, OP?

Your buyer might be on this thread reading.

This car would have been a mummy or daddy if it was a human.

A 26 year old naija used car for this price. Mehn, Toyota is truly overpriced.

I saw a thread made about 10 years ago where people were mentioning popular cars in Nigeria, I was struggling to find corolla mentioned. I asked myself, when did corolla mentality now grow to this extent in Nigeria if it was not named among the common cars that time?

lagusboyyy:
For 1.8 m, i believe if your bargaining power is off the hook, you'll see clean title elantra.

Best of luck.

It will take a combination of special luck and good bargaining power to get tokunbo Elantra at 1.8m now.

Kedro:
I paid 2% before and 8% after.

ok, thanks bro

Bigdadson:
From the reference code it shows that u applied 29/04/2020 not march 2021

check all approvals, it reads same ref code of 29042020. I think it implies when covid 19 loan application started

Check several samples of covid19 approvals and price me wrong bro

Kedro:
it's a loan, one must pay back. If I didn't facilitate I won't even get approval.

If you don't feel already burdened with questions please, did you pay the 10% before or after disbursement?

Georgemoore:
My People, be careful and note the was no disbursement this week, let no one mislead you

there are disbursements this week, go to Facebook and confirm.

Note: I'm not vouching for or defending anyone please

creamyzone:
Call please
Location is either our office at college road ogba or alakuko where the owner lives.

How did anyone miss this?

OP clearly stated the location, it is left for anyone to call him and ask for specific address.

Let us all simply report the video on YouTube, and report the guy's posts here, I have seen enough rules broken on nairaland to warrant a permanent ban for the guy

I've just reported it for hateful content

radautoworks:
Op, please reshoot this video. It sends a very negative message about you.

He will reply and say you're pained for advising him, especially you being a woman. That was what he told me when I called his attention to that video

milanseedorf:
Guys please help me review 2008 hyundia sonata 4 plugs for 1.8m. Direct Belgium. Is it a good car for this hustle

In terms of performance, it is good for the job. I can't say how cheap or affordable the parts are but could be a lil pricey sha.

Good luck on the purchase
