My battery died a painful death on Saturday evening, me that I don't joke with sundays. I got another battery yesterday and indriver came with their own online check palava. Who has done indriver online check and how long did it take them to verify pls?

SokizzRaven:
Baba anybody chasing a good weekly take home wouldn’t joke with Sundays.

I know very little about indriver. But if you’re referring to the selfie verification, mine was confirmed almost immediately

I just got the most polite and respectful call from a Rider since I started this hussle, now I am scared, cos from experience there is almost always a catch or price to be paid when a rider is extremely/extraordinarily nice.
I came for TB Joshua's burial program and I am ready to go back home, I set destination and in less than 3mins a trip enters PU: Liasu road, Destination: Ogba
Was about calling when her call entered and she sounds all respectful and polite then excited when I told her I was coming. Ikotun to Ogba shouldn't be a route she will find difficult getting a car so I am wondering...
Like Bazz001 and Felicity will say, to be continued. I will keep u guys posted when the trip is over. The road to her place is not so bad, so am only 80% scared now

1. We stands for those who are against posting of earnings on dashboard.

2. No advantage, everybody has equal rights.

3. Just one reason.. to avoid encouraging government agencies to tax us out of job. No matter how high the tax is, high earners will comfortably pay it but it will be appropriate (my opinion) if the high earners put the fringe drivers into consideration. There are some who make just 25k weekly but if we give government impression that everybody makes close to 200k weekly they might start duplicating their taxes till the 25k guys won't have any reasonable amount to take home after tax.

Conclusion, just a suggestion.. To motivate others, you can invite them to a platform where you're sure it's only the right people you're motivating, or simply tell the house how much you made without posting dashboard, I personally will believe without seeing your dashboard. That way some lazy drivers will be motivated and there will be no concrete data to get government motivated.

Whichever way, personally I don't care much about posting or not posting, but if I am to choose, I will choose not posting based on the above reason

I would do the same too bro.
Just like you mentioned, it’s gonn be a great relief, if some technical bodies can come together to put that idea of overnight mechanic to being

Actually, i am currently working on a model where repairs will be fast, and affordable.

And when i mean affordable, i mean: reasonable and affordable.

I have seen enough bashings of mechanics, and the condescending tag ''kazeem''. Of course, paint him bad and look like the best thing after jollof rice.

For this hustle, you need a mechanic that's not cut throat, quality parts that are not expensive and responsive repair time.

The average mechanic is not as bad as they are often painted here. They just need some brushing, improved communication skills, and training.

For this hustle, you shouldnt be paying for packaging. Which is what a number of glorified autoshops are. Go to their tech section, and you still meet the kazeem fixing the car. But this time, you are offered better communication, your complaints taken with promise to address them, and a chance to speak your English and issue threat of sueing if anything goes wrong with your car, since you are already paying through your nose. Truth is, things might go wrong and there's very little you can do.

The model is not to reinvent the wheels.

We are not opening new parts stores, or a logistics company for delivery, nor new autoshops. You are certain to have a shop in your local government. You wouldnt need to drive 50 miles to get to a workshop.

You don't have to repair with us. You can get trusted and quality parts, even provide support for your mechanic.

I am talking about affordable parts

- Stabilizer Linkage : 4k

- Brake Pads front and back for :7k, it is fine if you want wagner brake pads .

- Stabilizer bushings: 1,500

- Shock absorbers : 21k

- Toks ignition coil: 8k

- Toks All Season tyres for: 7-10k

- Of course, you will pay for service!

You dont want your vehicle breakdown, and because you are here and there, there's no mechanic to call that will come in an instance for rescue.

In this model, everyone wins. The car owner, parts sellers, and mechanics. If you want to feel like Dangote, there are enough shops to choose from, they are glad to have you.

If you have ever gotten an estimate from germane, Elizade, Coscharis you will know their service policy is not channeled to cater for an Uber hustle or the average Nigerian

Almost done with the modus for quality affordable parts. New and Toks. Not cut throat. We will make the mechanic in your environ a realistic option.

PS: This is not to take anything away from Standard Autoshops offering quality service. If anyone takes this idea and runs with, and it comes to fruition, it is a win for the industry.

BTW all Parts are currently available. Even if you are not buying from me, use me to know price

Laughs out loud.

I knew there was never going to be a succinct fact based reply to the questions posed, but rather, a perambulation of permutations and thinly veiled ignorance presented as "reasons" why forumites cum ehailing drivers should not express their equal rights which includes posting of earnings for fun, or for whatever cogent or non cogent reason they may have for doing so.

If that's your only reason, I'm happy to inform you that, that singular reason is total bullshit.
The government doesn't need to view a thread on nairaland to inform their decisions. They are neither dumb nor stupid to allow policy decisions bothering on tax revenue to be decided by a few anonymous posters of earnings on nairaland.

Let's properly delve into facts.

Bolt has about 10,000 drivers. (You don't need to believe me, but if you had made your research, you'd have this information). Applying the 32.5% Nigerian unemployment rate to this figure simply means that 3,250 drivers out of 10,000 are currently out of work. Therefore, I'm very correct to opine that there are 6,750 active bolt drivers driving every week. Hang on to this, for I'm coming back to this info.

Are you aware that since August 20th 2020 that ehailing companies and drivers have been working under a new tax policy?

According to Part 4.1 subsection 5 of the document titled, ‘e-Hailing Taxi Operation’, all drivers must pay 10 per cent generated on every trip to the Lagos State Government

All operators of e-hailing taxi service must pay the state government 10 per cent service tax on each transaction paid by passengers to the operators,” the document partly read.
The new policy also mandates all e-hailing taxi firms to pay N25m yearly to the state government per 1,001 vehicles for an operational licence while they will pay N10m yearly for renewal on every 1, 001 cars in their pool

This implies that the state government will collect taxes, licensing fees and then a percentage from every trip completed on these platforms

While operators kick against this provision, if it goes ahead to be implemented on August 20, the real losers will be the customers. Uber and Bolt will pass this 10 per cent cost along to end-users, making cab fares more expensive,” according to TechCabal

The state government also makes it compulsory for all ride-hailing services to make their database accessible to the government

That was excerpts from the punch...

From what you just read above, can you now see that the government already has a database of all our earnings weekly, and that posting them publicly is basically tautlogy? Are you gradually seeing that it's senseless to ask "us" to stop posting earnings?

Can you also now see that you're currently paying 10% tax of every trip to the government and that if they increase taxation, bolt will increase fares thereby protecting you?

Now let's properly calculate.

If there are 6,250 drivers and they make on average 120,000 weekly according to bolt, can you pls calculate 120,000 x 6,250 x 4 weeks ?

Before calculating, average here means the total earnings of all drivers divided by 6250, before you remind me that some drivers make 25k weekly.... Again, Lagos State government is fully aware of these calculations as I reminded you earlier that they aren't stupid...

120,000 x 6250 x 4 = 3 billion naira.
Out of 3 billion, bolt charges 20 percent of which they give 10% to govt.

Therefore bolt charges = 600million naira monthly. Out of 600 million monthly, they remit half to the govt. Therefore, bolt receives 300million naira a month.

300m x 12 months = 3.6 billion naira.

Out our this 3.6 billion, they pay 25million yearly and another 60million as per the 10million per every 1001 cars per year.

3,600,000,000 - approx. 90,000,000 = 3.5 billion naira to bolt yearly after everything.

Therefore, on your request to stop posting, the answer is no deal.

For your 25k weekly drivers, it's either they just stop driving all together or they step up their game. It's their personal decision which should by no means whatsoever, dictate to me what I should, or should not do. I can motivate drivers privately but first, I need to harvest them from this cesspit of lies about ehailing driving. I see that the "we" on this thread want discussions to be centered around their own personal frivolities and excesses which benefits nought, to the general viewing public, intending drivers and intending investors.

This is not a game. You either go hard or go home. You either take the heat or get the fvck out of the kitchen.

Brethren, watch out for this two pitfalls,

Mon - Fri. 8am - around when the lastma guys close

1. If you are coming from pen cinema, agege heading towards Fagba on iju road, you must use the roundabout by that Ifako international school
i.e take a slight right and slight left back to Iju road. DO NOT drive straight, use the roundabout. Though the roundabout (it has a statue of a guy /town crier) is not centrally placed on the road.

Lastma guys placed two of their red looking shapes on the road ( heading towards Fagba), an untrained eye will drive straight. Don't fall prey.


2. Watch out for the traffic light at ojuelegba underbridge,

Greed for this hustle no be am o

I had a couple of work related runnings to do in the morning, got so occupied that I skipped breakfast. Around 12:00 I started driving, I thought to make a little cash before going to eat, besides I prefer eating at Yakoyo and I’m no where near it’s axis ( would have requested for destination trip but I was having just 1 left and that’s reserved), so make I continue driving till a trip takes me to Lekki phase 1

Around 3:40 pm a ride took me to studio 24 side, phase 1. At this point my tommy had begin to make some funny funny noises.

While on the trip I clicked on ‘stop incoming requests’. ( a part of me wouldn’t actually mind a trip to Yayoko or it’s surrounding gangan, but I was too hungry to give it a second thought) Got to destination, rider paid, I clicked on ‘confirm price’ (Oh no! I shouldn’t have done that). But Just before I could quickly slide on ‘go offline’ my phone rang, a new trip entered with a 1.4 multiplier, destination: Yakoyo, pick up: the next street to where I was (ahn ahn isn’t God wonderful?)

I was just sitting there in my car imagining how I will do justice to the Amala and Goat meat. Like 3 mins later these fresh boys stormed out of their hotel, easy pickup (at this point I was already feeling lucky). So I started the trip then boom!!

I saw 42min to destination. What?? (I could literally feel my brain expanding in my skull). I couldn’t believe my eyes nor trusted the map, so I take speed enter the bolt app. Then I saw almost the same time of completion (there, it dawned on me that these guys had probably added a stop)

With a very serious face I asked ‘bro abeg where una dey go?’ He said Yakoyo but they quickly want to pick an item up somewhere in Lagos island (for my mind ehn? I don slam the guy head for dashboard and throw am out through the door window)

Long story short, na now I just dey take my breakfast!
