U. CAnt change bro. U have been complaining even wen dollar was 400 naira . If u read my comments u would see I have been dishing out realities on ground.

I spoke about me not using AC to maximize profit and other strategies. Iz cause of the reduction in profitability I spoke of cng as an edge. Isn't that reality enough .

If look at my previous post I broke down profitability with and without ac and how it affects drivers. Did that post skip ur head . I only dish out facts here boy

But u r just a very sad human that doesn't understand that people can succeed in what u r constantly failing in and yes with CNG I will save 1mil monthly . Hug transformer I know my ability and many people here will do it infact someone like pearl tho we never agree will do it in less

I have tried to be a friend by advising mini importation but u r very bitter at me...y do I remind u of what u could have been in life? Time still dey for u ooo

Will mini importation give me millions week in week out just the same way cabu cabu work gives me?

Heard monthly ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION will resume this saturday in Lagos??

Hello boss

I will like to ask, if I ask the rider and the destination is a no for me, will I beg the rider to cancel because I know some of them will not and if I cancel the ride won't my driver's score be affected?

Whether u cancel or rider cancels, ur score will be affected. That's why u need to take note of the address and the area as the trip is ringing. It will help.
For now Bolt also adds d area like Ikeja, Surulere, Oshodi isolo, Outer ring, Alimosho , Egbeda, Ikorodu, Lekki phase 1 and 2, Sangotedo, ketu, Somolu, kosofe etc. So u still have an idea of the area u are going . This way, u don't have to pick all trips that comes to ur phone.

If it's a good area, u can pick, then note the address as it is ringing, check google maps to be sure of the exact place, if it's where u want to go, then u drive to pickup point.
For instance I can go to Surulere but I will not go to Itire, even though it's still under surulere, I can go to Somolu but will not go to bariga and so on and so forth

Pls guys, I need a used type 1 or 2 cng cylinder between 75-90kg. Thanks

What u need now is not so much money cause cabu cabu has reduced ur iq and self worth. U need a bizness that will restore all that. That's y I'm presenting mini importation.

Hear me. Asides from d fact u will earn well more than cabu cabu it will restore ur dignity and pride atleast u won't be doing what u hate. It's very dangerous to be living like that. Hating ur life and the lives of others.

There is a guy here that is a guru in AliExpress and I know a bit about temu.

What say u friend

Guys let’s tell ourselves the truth. Bolt percentage is currently 50%.

Well u may not get good trip around there by that time, but there will always be trip but it may not be what u are looking for

As how na

Bolt Says 25%… But Drivers feel it in their pocket that It’s More Than That

“Bolt takes 25%” is only true on paper.

But let’s look at what actually happens.

---

## Simple example

You work all day and make:
👉 ₦20k ( na example o)

* Fuel → ₦10k
* Bolt (25%) → ₦5k

What’s left?
👉 ₦5k
So at the end of the day:
Bolt takes ₦5k
You take ₦5k

Both of you end up with the same money. If this isn’t 50% percent then I don’t know abc. Abi dem tink D fuel na free. And of course bolt knows this.

---

## Now think about this

The petrol station:

* Did not buy your car
* Did not work with you
* Took no risk

But collected:
👉 ₦10k

That’s double what you take home after working all day. I’ve seen this before where the main person making the system work gets the least, it’s called slavery.

---

## What drivers are dealing with

Before your ₦5k:
You already paid for:

* Fuel
* Your car
* Repairs (tyres, oil, maintenance)
* Car wash, data, airtime
* Your time (10–12 hours on the road)
* Risk (accidents, bad days, breakdowns)

---

# Over time (2 years)

Driver:**
👉 ~₦15m+ in total cost (fuel, car value loss, maintenance, time, risk)

**Bolt (per driver):**
👉 ~₦300k – ₦600k (shared costs like app, staff, marketing). Again, this is a per driver that earns 20k a day breakdown.

---

## The reality

This structure means:

* The driver carries most of the cost
* The platform takes a fixed percentage
* And the margin left for the driver stays very tight

Over time, it becomes difficult for many drivers to:
👉 save
👉 grow
👉 or move forward financially

---

## Final point

If a system consistently leaves the person doing the major work with very little after all costs…

Then it’s fair to ask:
👉 is that system helping drivers progress, or just keeping them stuck and entrenching poverty? ( btw poverty shall not be your portion even though bolt is trying very hard to make it so)

---

## What next?

If you’re a driver and this reflects your reality:

👉 Join the petition
👉 Share this with other drivers
👉 Invite your friends to join

Nothing changes unless drivers speak together.

---

The thing that gets me is that doesn’t bolt feel shame about treating their drivers like this? Or is it all under the umbrella of doing business? They should know that if they continue these predatory acts then the day this petition is complete we shall also be ruthless and treat it as just business.

## Question

If both you and the platform end the day with the same cash…

But you carry the cost, time, and risk…

Is that not 50%, or even more?

Should they not be deducting 25% off the cost of the petrol too?

The complete CNG kits with ecu will be sent,no be today I dey buy parts from China,I have bought phones worth thousands,powerbank, even upandan fashion wears and it came correct,Na the used affordable cylinder I dey find ,I am close to getting one soon

Fairs. I am looking for a good plug too, but I wan observe first. Na next month i decide to install and try this CNG. The distance between 398 and 1250 is quite substantial

Seen a lot of installers... Their price different is by about 50k. D funny part is that they were all charging about 600k before or suddenly price jumped to 750k plus all of a sudden. I guess gas cylinder dey scarce or so. .

Back when the fuel price was below N200 . . . They were here crying that the business is dead

Today that the fuel price is above N1200 . . . They are still here crying that the business is buried

Tomorrow when they successfully install their coveted CNG kits and the price of gas becomes N350 . . . You feel they won't still be crying that the same business is comatose?

Jokes and jokers always love writing themselves we have been here and seen it all so there's nothing to shock us anymore

Dshocker:
This your request sounds like "i want to destroy your car with 70k" in my ear 😂
