Lol

A good car self still they give issues on the job talkless of a bad car.

Yes I agree it is all the drivers fault.

lanrexdo:
A bad car is a bad car.

Deposit upfront for a car that was not in top shape.

Respiration landed you in stress and debt.

All terms should always be stated in any transaction in the future.

If you don't call when a car is faulty then all expense on you.

You have the right to collect your intial 15k deposit because it is for caution not free money for the owner.

The 10k spent. Did you talk to the owner about the expensise and she said she will return it back?

I feel the owner knows all the fault and just got a gullible driver to help her do the fixing for the next person.

Good luck retrieving your money back.

Hello house. Greetings everyone.

Pls I'd need your input on a serious thing bordering me at de moment. Needed someone to hear this.

I got a Honda Accord car at abule egba(from fb)
I went to check the car. From surulere.
After testing nd inspection. The steering was strong. De owners said it was just de pressure host issue nd other small repair he highlighted. Before that he stated he's terms of 30k nd upfront payment. I accepted de 30k rentals.( I know it's high buh am desperate, I need to start hustling) went to him, begged him that I had nd could only manage to borrow 15k from people with every assurance that I'll pay them back within a week. I pleaded with him on de 15k. He accepted, I gave him de money as we went to his mechanic to fix up the car. The money was spent there and we drove back. The nxt day was this past Thursday. I brought all needed documents and we parted ways. No single fuel on de car and there was fuel scarcity already. I managed to buy 2k fuel. Used car wash 3k as de car was very dirty at same abule egba

I droved down nd reach closed to my side, this car stopped and couldn't start.

I had to borrow 2k to sort area boys who help me push to a safe corner. I parked and told him watsup.

The next day being Friday I couldn't get money from him to sort de problem out.
I had to borrow 10k. Bought engine oil (4k) as de guage was completely dry.
Car couldn't start, I had to seek rewire, he rented battery and all and was able to sort de problem out. He demanded nd settled for 5k both his workmanship nd battery
. Explained to this man on every thing. He only sent 4k that he doesn't have anything else.


I left and borrowed another 3k and hustled anoda fuel after hours on de cue.


I attempted my ist trip.

3mins drive the gear developed problem. Oil drains away like tap. Rider cancelled nd moved on.

A mechanic came and pushed to his shop. He said gear problem and only solution was to bring down gear. I explained to de owner. He was boiling and said I should find means and bring de car to abule egba from onipanu(ikorodu road). De mechanic sold old oil to me for 2k atleast I can use it to find my way before it drains as de car doesn't move when oil drops.

I enroute abule egba as instructed. De oil dried up at ojota. I had to park at ibiode garage. This was around 8/9pm.


I notified him in all this .


The nxt day was Friday.
Mechanic brought down gear. The gear box for repair. De owner earlier request I towed de car to him from ojota. I advised that even de towing money alone can repair de gear.

I took gear to ladipo nd It was charged 35k for repair.


Saturday. I went to market nd gear was repaired (although not tested till now). He sent in a total of 40k on Saturday.

Of which I used 5k for market logistics nd settlement. We finish very late. Gate pass was 1k. Area boys took 1k, cart pusher took 1.5k, and I still bought fuel 1k for repairs.


He didn't want to send in another money as he said he had nothing left on him and requested that de 5k would serve all other purpose and my logistics with de heavy gear back to ojota. I tried and contracted a bike man. I had to take risk of riding with heavy gear box on a dispatch bike.

We're owing de dispatch bike 5k of his fare to ojota at de moment. He was at ojota Tru de day but left when I could reach there with bike man. I had to money on me, I was filled with dept already. I called ,begged nd tried all I could to get 5k to settle bike man to no avail. I had to eecape nd left the scene. The mechanic nd area boys later pacify nd pleaded with de bike man to come back later that they'll collect his money from us.



Yesterday being Sunday, texted him a long message of everything nd how I'll need my money back today that as he's making plans to finish de car and retrieve it to his side that he should add my money also. 25k because I was still on de run from my street since Thursday. Imagine I borrowed money from a woman selling kiosk in my area. Dis woman practically collected all de change nd coins in her small shop to give me with every hope I'll work nd balance her in de evening as promised. But look at me now. Ive betrayed her even when she kneeled down to beg me before handing me de money.


Back to this owner. He read my text xday and no reply.

This morning I ask him how would today be.

He said he's never sure

And. I texted him again that am waiting on him to sort me my money so I can move on nd settle my bills.

He lastly replied if" I was kidding" less than hour ago.



Because I can't drive this car or have any confidence in it anymore. I've suffered already for over 4days now. All this while I sleep outside before of de issues.


Pls house how can I be bold and get my 15k deposit nd 10k loan I took for dis car.( 25k)


I've never made a dime or completed a single trip on dis car. Am just weak, hungry,dry and lost now

bradpitt4040:
Any update on where feul is available at normal price??

Barbiturate:
I wanted to do fastest finger, then I checked it well and then cancelled. Thanks

Barbiturate:
Is this a good deal?

SlyCharlie:
BON is dead..
Govt rn doesn have that kind of money to be throwing around for something that won't bring returns oga... especially this one wey Nigeria no qualify...
NTA sports on Startimes is showing 28 games free, you can aswell patronise them.

Until NTA is privatised, expect this kinds of dissapointments, it's just the sad reality.
DStv payed over $25million as English and local language Paytv broadcaster they have to recoup investments.
Besides this wan an open bid, not exclusive Startimes, cable plus and the rest could have bid too, but economy be Wilding

SlyCharlie:
All the matches are on DStv Compact, 9k subscription and GOtv Supa, 5k subscription.

Nigerians like going overboard ad crying about nonsense.
U expect to watch all the matches of the world cup with 2800 subscription, when dollar is > ₦700, plus massive inflation?

Comon

MoonlightDrive:
A short sighted policy. It will soon be reversed,

Barbiturate:
This hustle can affect someone's mentality!

I'm not faulting you bro, but I feel this isn't wise. You drove all the way from presken to alausa because of ₦100. The fuel you used to get there is already far above ₦100 and again the risk of having to struggle steering and gear with you........think deep and ask if it's worth the stress!

IMO, you would have collected the 1300 and then report her. You are far above ₦100 compared to the risk.

tobisunday:
The most encouraging and and spirit lifting words so far on nairaland.

Thank you very much and Amen to your prayers.

Indrive App is acting up!

Anyone else in this situation, abi na only me?

Glithronix:

My boss.
Abi ooooh. Omoh, to dey post self no easy oooh. I hail all the bosses that always create out time to post, comment, advise, educate and exchange words on a regular here. Meehhhn, 1000 gbosa for them.
However, I just chilled down on posting for a reason jare. I think I told SamuelTaiwo when he called me and asked why I no dey post like before.
Una dey try for here, I swear.
But that one no mean say things no dey happen oh.
We be upcoming artist unlike majority of you wey be car owners.
Me self wan be a car owner so that my hustle will be strictly based on my own terms, and no more remittance to anyone. Make focus come strong cos this hustle na means to an end, my business dey my head like dreadlocks, na there gangan I dey go.
However, this last Sunday was my highest earning on indrive (38k+) with 4k offline trip.
Yesterday which was on Monday, I made 18.8k on the app and made 7k offline first thing in the morning. Check the time I did my 1st trip and my last trip. I just went home straight after the last trip cos I no too like Monday hustle.
I have introduced indrive to some of my padis and I'm giving dem the scope to run indrive peacefully (courtesy of all of Una bosses here).
Cos some of dem don dey get their accounts blocked and dem dey ask me how I dey do on bolt, na so I yarn dem say bolt wey be say it's over 2 months I smelt it, say na indrive be my cruise now. Bolt ké? Even my period Don expire on bolt, wey dem want make I come do inspection again. Inspection kó, detention ni.
I haill all of una oooh.
Without you people, I don't think I will be among people who would come out and lecture people on e-hailing hustle, cos na you people trained me and I am making you all proud, abi?
Much respect, boss.

Una remember the vacuum cleaner I posted here that someone forgot in my car booth?
I have returned the item to the owner this past Sunday. I just decided to put it in my booth that anytime a trip takes me there (Sule Olusesi street at lekki), I would call him and return it.
It was that same Sunday that a trip took me there. una see how God works?
I just called him and thank God his number went through immediately. He appreciated it cos he was surprised I brought the stuff after over a month. Na so I zoomed of with a sweet order back to mainland. This past Sunday sweet well well.

MoonlightDrive:
You forgot to add endorsements aka Tips from passengers... some drivers may hit N2m monthly!

Eyinola1:
5am to 11pm? U be robot

desmondDessi:
I hear this, but one part of me is saying go back to your job and another part is telling me to see this through. Like I'm in the middle. One of the reason I left was having time for myself. Going back and continuing that lifestyle is somehow and for how long?

I'm beaten in a way.

desmondDessi:
Guys I quit my job, my corolla AC was not working. Worked on the compressor through out yesterday, spent 32k. Today my first trip, AC stopped working. Smoke begins comot from car.

Called the technician, he say to come tomorrow.

And new compressor is about 50k. Sabi I for just finding add and do that one.

Right now, I'm broken. I don't want to regret quiting my job

jaymejate:
Why do most people here include "......" in their writings? Is that something?
Some writeups here are even hard to read due to wrong punctuation or lack of punctuations.

No rushing. Just write for us to understand. It's crucial as it might be of help to boost our writing skill.

By the way, I still need a car on rental.
Any good car. Please be kind to connect me.

northbird:
Good. BTW, the anointing for Indriver is speaking.. Abeg Sprinkle for Bolt and Uber make them see way small.

northbird:
Pope, I hope you are good?

Barbiturate:
Update the App. It has a new colour now. It is working

Bigsunny01:
May be de app in on maintenance

Bigsunny01:
Who else is having issue to access indriver app at de moment or is dis happening me alone?

Conner44:
Give an example of such please

Conner44:
And as I said, there are failures due to cases of ignorance or carelessness.

Factory faults are also up there there as well

Conner44:
Yep, any counters about that argument?

Conner44:

In the case of engine knocking, compressor seizing or gearbox spoiling it’s all the resultant effects ignorance or improper maintenance.

In the case of accidents I will like to introduce you to a fairly old concept called comprehensive insurance
