The lord's prayer. Always remember Lastma don't have vehicle and gun to chase you. If you have your way to japa, please do. If you have enough chance not to open your window, don't open. If you have your way strip naked and prevent your car from being tolled, please do. If you know of any way to prevent them from entering your car, please use it.

Stay blessed.

Because I had misunderstanding with him doesn't mean I can't discuss issues related to this thread with him.

whatisthetruth:
Sorry to say this, but it seems Nigerian Bolt Riders are among the DAFTEST CREATURES KNOWN TO MAN

See about 10 cancels in a row, ask me why they canceled?

Cause they asked me "Oga where are you?" and I responded with "You can track me on the app"

So they all just hiss and cancel.

I never knew that daftness in this country had reached this point where it's now almost an epidemic.

I had to ask one rider after all this to please show me his phone so I can look at the Bolt app, and when he showed me, my car was obviously accurately positioned on his map.

So why are you asking where I am

I now started playing games of clicking arrive when I am far far away, and the daft riders will be calling you like, "ARE YOU HERE?"

I will be like YES, I AM HERE. Then they will call back and be like, "but I can't see you"

So wait, you mean you can't check your phone to see that I am MILES AWAY FROM YOU? You actually came downstairs with your daft self to start looking for me? My goodness! Oh my goodness!!!!

You will carry a white guy, they guy will be waiting for you and tracking you on the app, but get a request from a typical daft Nigerian and next thing is "OGA WHERE ARE YOU?"

No wonder the country is useless and the people keep voting for ediots. If you can't look at the phone to view my car just after booking a ride, then what hope is there even for selecting the right leadership?

What a country, what a people!!!

whatisthetruth:
Then you have the demonic people that will want to show you "pepper", by allowing you to waste your petrol to get to their location and then cancel when you get there.

They, like the devil, want to frustrate you, like it will give them joy.

I have started saving such peoples numbers on my phone.

One day, they will be stranded and when I see their number I will know that this is so and so that frustrated me before.

Gentlelife50:

Lol, it's really disturbing.
Some don't even know what's surge, end trip you'll start hearing something like "but I used to pay 3k for this trip everyday, why is your own different?"
Even the app will still be displaying the estimate, dull people everywhere.
They even take the dullness to USA too

If you’ll listen, I’d suggest you suspend anything e-hailing for now and perfect your driving skills. You need to give yourself at least 2-3 months to gain confidence and control of a vehicle. This is for your own safety. You’re new to driving + new to the extremely toxic and challenging e-hailing industry. Not a good combination.

Incase you haven’t completed the hoodlum classes, you can search for felicity0001 & read all his comments. You need this to survive the street.

Good luck. You’ll need it.

THe block is coming....

30 canceled rides this night, I know bolt is watching, but I'm ready for them with Uber and Indriver this week.

Ca3ssper:
yeah, I know about the troubles of all these guys but I do wonder is it in only Lagos that this kind of madness happen or other states in Nigeria have the same mad people as road officials

I still wonder why we degrade ourselves so much in this country. Is it because we're blacks or some of us haven't had the opportunity to interact with the whites.

I work on Fiverr and deal with the whites a lot. Some of these guys can as well be as dumb as your typical average Nigerian. They ask silly questions even when what they are asking about is clearly written in black and white on your profile.

Such questions as which country are you in, what's your gig price, etc. What you need is to explain this all over again and it takes you absolutely nothing to do so.

We all can't be exposed. There are people who are slow learners and non tech people. They don't even understand how map works and that the car icon on the app indicates where you are.

They will ask questions up to the color of your car. I normally would answer this and move on. My interest is to get paid.

Don't let anyone deceive you with the InDriver thing bro. Request on InDriver is still low and extremely competitive that you can stay for 5 hours without doing a single trip. There are places you will find yourself and you will never get an InDriver trip close by.

Uber fare is still ridiculously low compared to Bolt. Bolt as at the time of writing this is still the king in this industry. They give you trips more quickly and frequently with or without surge and they have a better fare price than Uber.

Until they block you, your eyes will clear. I have always emphasized here that your rider is not your enemy. Don't start a fight with someone you never had an issue with and whom you are providing a service. This is not about humility but common sense.

When you discuss with some riders and hear their experiences with other drivers, you cannot but shake your head.

I understand your point of view, I really do!

Ultimately as we say with most things here, you just suck it up and get paid, at least for the most part - NOT sucking up everything oo, please lets be careful and vigilant.

Yesterday was just my day to vent I guess, or I'll treat it as such. It was a nice experiment, non the less, to see the kind of people that make up society at large.

I feel mostly, it's just ignorance and laziness.

I will maintain though, that even a first time user should be able to decode, comprehend, assess... the meaning of the car icon for the driver on their app, unless of course, they are much older or have other disabilities. We aren't talking about deeper features like app calls and so on, just the main initial screen on which you booked your ride. You should want to at least glance at those details, like glance at the drivers pic, name, time of arrival, hmmmm what is this car thing - is that where he/she is now?

You cant just book a ride and throw your phone away, thinking an angel from the sky is going to land and pick you up right from your toilet seat.

Again though, I can't gainsay much more of what you said. Ultimately we have to move and move we shall by Gods grace.

Do u know there is a high percentage of drivers who are using another person's account to work? If people were as observant and keen as u expect or presume, then that wouldn't be possible.
Attention span is reducing globally, and in NIGERIA people have many other concerns, studying Bolt App is additional burden
