No one has ever said bolt is not a stepping stone.

Our message is...
As you're taking Bolt as your 1st step, don't allow it to be your last.
As your take that 1st step, don't get so comfortable on it and forget when to take the next step.

Cos the time you'll realize your self (if you did got carried away), you might be lagging quite far behind.

As you step on it, hasten up to step out of it before it gets late. (especially, young unmarried graduates with ambitions.)

I like this comment. You see na now you/una dey come out in clear terms. Wizkid (in Don’t Dull) said/sang “My money and your money no be mate”. There is a difference between your account balance and my own account balance.

There are levels you’ll reach where making 25/30k in a day would look like 2k/3k in your eyes. We all pray to reach that level one day. I honestly don’t expect such “multimillionaires” to be struggling with “minnows” like us doing Uber/bolt. Life is in stages and at this stage at least for myself, the money I make from bolt in Mr Sabinus voice “it is hooge” as it is my 2nd source of income.

While we strive to grow from this level, I’d rather utilize this opportunity bolt offers and use it as a stepping stone into the next level rather than condemn and write it off. As at 2pm today I’ve made 10k which is my daily target thanks to the heavy fuel scarcity in Abuja. Almost all my trips are surges. This 10k be like 100k. That is the level I am currently.

When I was in the university, I envy corp members because as at then they earn 19800 in my mind I was like when I get there I’ll save and be rich. Then I serve finish 19800 no even last pass 3 weeks, then I started praying for a job that pays at least 30k, in my mind that’ll be massive. My first job was 50k, need I say the 50k became worthless after 2-3 months? My next job was triple the previous one yet, the cycle continues.

The summary of this whole epistle is that life is in stages. Appreciate each level you find yourself and strive to move on to the next phase. Don’t write off or look down at the hustle of the next man because you feel you’ve outgrown that stage. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Bolt/Uber is some people’s first step. Let them experience and grow from it.

Don't compare yourself with other people...discover ur purpose, find ur niche, and have a plan to dominate/influence/ transform your world.
Do what makes u happy and gives u peace. Be contented with what u have and u will live long.

Just like week task force catch me and took me to lasma office despite my pleadings they still took me to office, I started making calls.
They know that the two persons I called will make it easy for me but they simply ignored all the calls, what will I do when they won't take phone to talk to my brother?
I had to look for a neutral lasma person and explained everything to him and even told him my brother is mad they didn't want to talk to him, he was very helpful to me at least he took time to listen to me.
He went to plead on my behalf, las las na 15k I pay because of the people involved.
Next they said I will pay for gate and vaulcanizer, I simply kwechiri at the gate they had to let me go.
Imagine if I didn't have such connection or as a newbie, anyways I didn't relate the experience because it's one of those things that ( I mean the baggage that comes with the Job).
Yesterday, tire wahala again.
Bought tire for 14k and fixing it 1k, I just vex go house jare.
Like the celebrity driver use to say this driving thing isn't for everybody.

Viking07:
hahahah. Yes, trips going towards outskirts of Abuja experience heavy traffic at peak hours. Places like Karu, Nyanya, Lugbe are no go areas from 7am till around 12 and 4pm downwards.
When I get such trips I simply ignore. You can spend a whole 1hr just in traffic.

And don’t get me wrong o, I agree 100% that driving/traffic in Lagos is crazy. I don talk am before say I can’t survive in Lagos. How you guys even drive over there seem like a miracle to me. At least in Abuja our major headaches are VIO, FRSC and police then maybe once in awhile AMAC/touts. But the list of headaches in Lagos are endless. Lasma, lasdri abi Wetin una dey call am. I don’t envy you people.

peeps4u:
Bros, are you now saying an average Abuja driver now earns more than a Lagos driver?

Pearl1910:
Aiyaaaa...I think the other side of the hussle is shared well enough. Just read this thread, it's full of drivers experiences. It's just that it doesn't raise controversy, arguments or disagreements that's why it seems like it's not discussed enough. But when earnings discussion come up and it causes fight, it's like that's d only thing that's talked about always.

Abeg remember me in your kingdom major general na gold chain me I want abeg

Viking07:
back then you drive for 1hr and you get 3-4hrs rest? You really enjoy.

If this is the general perception here then I’d understand why making an average of 10,000 generated lots of backlash.

My full time schedule when I’m not going to my 8-5 job starts from 6am till 12 noon(back to back trips) then 5pm till 11pm(another back to back trips). All these just to go home with at least 10,000. There’s no easy way to make money.

GeneralZodd:
I don Enter inside Airport and about to check-in, I will keep you guys posted when I reach there, journey mercy to me in IJN.

Felicity001:
Don't mimd them... Even dru self can't tell me to my face that some shuck of his profit on his oil business is not going into repairs of his ehailing cars some times.

Every business person in Nigeria is struggling to keep their business alive. Only a few are making profit.

How possible is a man with 4kids be able to buy a car worth 2.5m from renting when he has school fees, house rent, clothing, feeding, bills and others things to pay... Yet still able to save 2.5m to buy a car... To me that man is foolish to have drop dru's car and be driving his own where he got the money from.

Even me with less responsibility didn't buy my car from proceed of ehailing... Only a few people will disclose how they did it.

Heyyy God ehhh...
What's d insult in what I said? Aren't u d one dat said u work at certain times and that u r currently in the house till d next rush hour?

Now let's see who needs to go back to secondary school before u talk of GCE
25% of 20k is 5k.
I use max 4k fuel to gross 20k but let's just say 5k fuel is used.
So when u deduct 5k fuel and 5k commission from ur 20k gross u r left with 10k as Net in ur pocket.

I am disappointed I had to break down a simple thing like this for you to comprehend. And U have been incoherently arguing and dragging this matter. Hope u are okay sha. No worry all d money u lose for crypto u will recover it back cos when there is life there is hope.

samobaba4u:
I like the yardstick u used but u forgot to deduct feedings let say 2k. So ur net will be 8k not 10 provided all things went normal.

komodapson:
Hahahaha....baba abeg take it easy on these guyz them...

northbird:
Please, anyone with a functional Uber inspection Centre around Ogba, agege or abule egba axis

This is no peace, more like war.

Felicity001:
I wasn't wrong after all. At what price did you buy and what's the current price and liquidation now? Also what's the volume trade on this very coin? And the cap as well?
All of these things matters when buying a coin

Pearl1910:
No, I gross 1k daily.
Oga go n sleep and wait for evening rush hour. How will u make reasonable money daily when u r working sparingly...later u will be arguing with me.

Pearl1910:
Oga u r talking stories o.
It's funny u said my points are watery only to make an epistle about how it is easy to Net 10k. So what where u trying to argue about before. U r always saying u can make 20k if u want to.
All d stories about d economic challenges is d reason I am being conservative by saying 10k Net daily. I do way more and I know lots of guys that know their way earn alot more too.
Mind u, when I say 10K Net I mean less fuel and commission. So that's about 20k Gross on dashboard.
Reason I say u can't compare yourself driving on Indriver with an average Uber/Bolt driver is because u r constantly fighting for trips and doing prayer and fasting to get trip back to ur zone. So don't say/argue otherwise again cos it's what it is.

komodapson:
Your disposition is a lil' bit flawed to an extent. You can't have it all. How about the good network of roads, less traffic and thuggery*
Abuja is administrative capital of the country, you come in, secure your contract and move. So to balance it up, u might be making a few bucks, but less stress...
Trying to earn a living in lasgidi, using ehailing has a platform is akin to bringing out a fish in a body of water...
But, I'll still prefer to drive in abuja than in Lagos, simply because I prioritize my mental health over money...

dru23:
Very possible.. It is all about setting a target and a goal.

With anything in life, you want to work smart and harder. U will notice that drivers that complain on this forum are still driving.. If it is that very bad, they should quit and look for something else...

I had a driver about 1yr ago working for me. This driver was able to[b] save money and bought a tokunbo corolla[/b] . And now he has his own car and not paying rental. All that money goes into his pocket...

He is married man with kids. So he is focus

You can't buy Bitcoin 2years ago and be regretting now.

Felicity001:
He probably bought the wrong cryptocurrency u know everybody regards all coins as bitcoin just like they do with Uber whereas they're on a Bolt of Rida app.
