I ain't disputing your facts bro.

With what you've been posting here, they won't really need to contact drivers anymore.
We're not really against your motive for posting dashboard here. We just want you to make it available to only the drivers. Not the general public.

You seff na Kazeem.
A branded one though.

SokizzRaven:
include the overnight workshop into your plans. Even if it will come at a different cost (so far it is friendly to a length) some of us will always opt for it

radautoworks:
Wetin all these shots be for na ? We dey quarrel The use of "kazeem" is for a group who deserves it. It does not apply to mechanics who offer a quality product whether they work out of their boot or a shop.

Abeg plenty customers dey without need for this lol

I am sorry if i misfired shots

deedee44:

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

deedee44:
Not that one, this one is like asking me to register from scratch like a new driver

BAZ001:
I discovered that you can actually cancel some request that are too far from your pick up without be penalized.

See screen short below.
So next time you get a request far from pick up look at the description before you accept and delay for 5mins, you can just cancel right away.


I ve dropped two or three tips today.
All the people saying we are derailing the thread, should start dropping tips too.
No more silent observers or readers.

The revolution has started
Sorry continued

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

Are you ready to pay for it?

24hours if everything checks out well

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.

donfortune48:
I decided to test myself yesterday, left home 6:30 am, closed 6:30pm and was on my bed @7:30pm. And I made 26k net (after commission). That's 12hrs online. But I'll be misleading a lot of people if I post only the dashboard without saying what comes with it.

DMechyy:
The goal is to serve a defined market. Average/middle class. As a policy, prices must always be friendly and affordable. Already doing that with parts

Your pettiness is legendary, if not for the little respect I have for u, I would have just leave my 5 yrs old cousin toys for u, I belive u will b needing it.

Pearl1910:
So it was a delivery trip. She said receiver will pay, I called the receiver and confirmed who will pay. Receiver verified, then I moved.
Got to destination, and receiver sent someone to come and collect package and account number, since na person mama, (or so I thought) I no even suspect anything. I moved on to another trip - Ajayi road to Lekki.
Had even forgotten till I got alert for the next trip and noticed my account balance.
I called the receiver and she say she is doing it immediately, that she forgot. After 30mins called again, she say network is bad. After 1hr, I called again she come say na person wey request go pay. "Didn't u confirm u will pay?, madam I record all my calls and if u don't want me to come to your house right now to collect my money send my money in 30mins"
Scam, I dey Lekki, 8pm, how? After like 30mins she said she has sent 2k that sender will pay balance. I say I never see the money she say "check it well, I have sent it". Then I called nice girl that requested, she no pick, call am 3more times she no pick, I checked d App and discovered the number is different, I called that number with another number of mine, she picked, immediately she heard my voice she cute call. I say I don enter am today, wetin wan carry me go Liasu road again?
I sent her the text I usually send to scammers with my normal line to the line that she refused to pick, immediately she replied. Then I called her again and gave her till midnight to send my full money, I don't want to hear any excuses, it's none of my concern. 11.50pm my alert enter.
Usually if it's a delivery and it's an estate that u call d gate first before I enter, u will send my money before I drop the package or leave that place. If it's receiver that's paying, receiver will do my transfer in my presence, if it's a 4th party that collects package then I wait till I get alert before I drive out.
Experience is the best teacher indeed, told u guys there was a catch for all that courtesy and niceness, it was for me to drop my guard or not be suspicious. This "nice" lady didn't have money or planned not to pay for this trip, her sister, d receiver was in on it too. Till now I still dey wait for the 2k wey receiver say she don "send already" since 8.30pm. If I had taken it easy and be doing gentleman till tomorrow or next, na Oyo for be my name.

Guys shine ur eyes o, take all necessary precaution, it's an animal farm out there and everyone is out to cheat and outsmart u if they have the opportunity. Just reason say u go market go buy something, and want to pay with transfer, will seller let you go without alert? I left there because I knew I can come back if anything goes wrong.
