Bolt/Uber driver needed. Corolla 2007, 30k weekly delivery, 2 verifiable guarantor needed, 50k security deposit needed. You must be active either on bolt/Uber or indriver. Contact me via email: yomies654321@outlook.com. If you get scoin scoin for head, gamblers or do drugs BIKO skip this advert. Drivers in Alimosho and its environs are welcome

Asking for 50k security deposit is easy, I see no reason asking for almost 2 weeks wages for a car a driver hasn't driven for even a km. No one knows the state of the car, suspension, battery, AC, engine etc. Post pictures of, and state of the vehicle.

This advert is vague

Unless this was an offline trip, I see no reason why you haven't posted the driver's name, phone number, plate number and whether the trip was on bolt or on uber. I have counted over 20 red Toyota corolla this morning alone, how am I supposed to know who to accost?

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 asked this before and I said NO!

What part of NO don't you understand, the N or the O?

6 trips, 10 hrs today.

Therefore means I'm off by 5 am.

After obtaining the database, they'll surely try to hear wilder opinions of the drivers before making a decision.

But with these your dashboards and rents you pay in Lekki. They may not need drivers opinions to make decisions again. Cos they'll assume that it's an easy money for the drivers.

Since August 2020, have you or any driver you know ever received an official survey about your opinions from LASG?

My dashboard and rent is a choice. Just like poverty is a choice. If you choose to live in Ikorodu while having a lower dashboard, what's up with scrutinizing my dashboard?

Everyone can make 200k weekly if they Choose to. It's a matter of choice. It's easy money for me because I'm honest to myself and my dreams. I realized that I can't achieve the extraordinary with myself if I condemn my work ethics to what's obtainable out there.

If I choose to upgrade my skill set and strategy, how am I responsible for your decision of maintaining low earnings?

If LASG can see the database, it therefore means they can see low earners and wondering why they are wasting space.

I'm driving and simultaneously clowning this idiot

pope191:
and ur infested dead brain cell don't tell u that's how much energy I put in, yet u still have the audacity to call me lazy. U skip where I always tell drivers to eat good food, fruits and lot of water. Pig in form of human, all u r looking for from me are faults, I guess u got what u bargained. Odeson

Why not stick to facts if u r man enough?

Which energy? Which facts? The fact is that you're a lazy 10k making, gala eating ineffectual buffoon.

Are you denying that fact?

pope191:
if u ask what other business can I do? Then u are a dunso, black zombie, born to slave for bolt till eternity. I even think u can do better in punch lines, ur punches ain't even loud, crazy watery repetition comin off like a crack CD. No wonder you've been repeating unnecessary English like a new born baby learning new words. u r really st*pid for trying to judge what u don't know and saying lies against me. Menh! Go get a life, u honestly ain't get one

Are you crying? You type so incoherently. I didn't ask what business you do, I asked what brains you have for other businesses?

pope191:
Too bad I don't make 10k a day, I do way better than that, have other business I run and I do eat good food compare to 550 burnt CR u feed on. Get a life, u r never my match in anything and u will b #FactsOnly

you are a retarded_ ineffectual buffoon. What brains do you have for other businesses?

pope191:
Dimwit, so u expect me to leave important things and be chasing after shadow like u. U must b a complete dumbo than I tot (lol)

You call making 10k a day while eating gala by 4 pm important? You must be mad.

pope191:
[s]Just find time to read d nonsense u wrote abt me, ur dumbness kind of crack me up tho. I won't have reply this, but for the lies u heap need to b cleared, if u must talk at me, why not stick to facts? Unnecessary English, yet u are one letter away from novel.

I reported u? Menh! I'm just laughing here, u ran out of facts to wash me or air entered u brain? Fade into oblivion? Was dia time I told ya, I was into competition with anyone or badly in need of attention. Come to think of relevance, if I thro few cash ard, don't u think I'll b relevant again? Or I need to start doing bonanza so I can stay relevant.

You talking abt poverty? Materialism lives outside the line of my reality, but don't even think abt it, don't go dia... my whole essence is not wrapped on driving, if I don't drive, I'll feed far well and better. Ask ard so u don't go misguided adult baby. I'll say this again and let it b clear to ur understanding even if u have comprehension problem, I careless about u, what u make or ur band boys, feel free to believe and take in everything thing u read up here... I can't remember the day I said I slept with a rider, yes! I get free passes, if riders don't consider u attractive enough, don't take out the frustration on me. It's my life and I draw the conclusion of what's best for me, ur opinion does not inspire any relevance to how I choose to do my thing ohk! Get that into ur infested dead brain cell that can't be logic or objective in reasoning.

Now I see why deh call u ant, it is crystal clear ur wisdom pipe can't march that of cockroach[/s].

Honestly didn't read your reply after over 12 hrs.

Not interested. Moved on to better convos. Can't catch myself conversing with a low ambition nincompoop.

donfortune48:
Even if you do as an official, they (drivers) will try and find a way to conceal the actual figures, so you don't inflate their taxes.

If they ever contact us and we complain about the low fares, the stress, the hours online that deny us good time with our family and friends, the heavy repairs and insults from riders, they won't met our heavy taxes on us.
Even though they have the Chart of our earnings from Bolt's server.

Ehailing companies are mandated to provide their database to the government. What are you concealing?

donfortune48:
Shollywendy1 is right bro.
Make your research again.
You should even know this with just common sense. (no insult).

Last year when I was quite active, anytime I checked my bonus earning at the end of the week, I always notice that my bonus earned that week is even more than Bolt's commission for that week. And they equally rolled out bonuses for riders.

If you do plus and minus of the bonuses bolt gives its riders and drivers every week, you'll know that they don't even taking in up to 50% of their 20% commission in a week. If they pay Lasg govt 10% it simply means they're operating at a loss.

I still remember clearly that they only pay 10% of the 20%. 20naira PA trip and the 25m annual fee.

Are all drivers equal? You think all drivers get weekly bonuses?

shollywendy1:
I even heard it during the radio station Interview with the LASG officials and driver's rep then . The govt official did the breakdown . That was when I understood clearly but bloggers will just say 10% comission if checked on google

read it yourself.

shollywendy1:
Make enquiries but not from unreliable bloggers. You will understand how it is charged.
10% of the 20% commission charged on on every trip.
Anyway, that's not really important right now

The punch is unreliable bloggers?

donfortune48:
Statistics is nothing but numbers.
Even with what's on papers, you need to contact the users (Drivers) to know what's truly obtainable.
Someone can easily access here and obtain something reasonable.

If you want to post earnings, you're; but say what comes with it.

If it takes you an hr to make 2k, it implies that it'll take you 100hrs to make 200k.
That's averagely 14hrs/7days online. And this is exclusive of the time spent setting our or going home after turning off the app. It's also exclusive of the time spent for breakfast, lunch or dinner. These can bring the average hrs per day to 15 or 16hrs.
This is not a small fit to achieve.

If you post, also post the average amount spent fixing you car per month. (J have my record of every 1naira I spent on my car for the 2yrs I've been driving).
Minus the commissions, minus the money on fuel; so that any novice seeing the dashboard will have a clear knowledge of what's obtainable.

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.

How would you like to contact 10,000 drivers?

shollywendy1:
The bolded is wrong.
LASG charges 10% of the 20% comission which is N60million out of the N600million.

Its not wrong.

Bolt charges 20% per trip. Lasg owns 10% per trip. Out of that 20%, the govt owns half, 10%.

600m monthly is 300m to lasg govt.

"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"

deedee44:
Permit me to partake in this mid-semester test lol.

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

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:
You're doing well my brother.

Shah don't think we hate you or envious of your earnings bro.
Just try to see reasons with us why we actually want you to stop displaying the earnings here It wasn't out of any ill intensions.



Thumbs up.

1. In clear unadulterated pontifications, define "we". Who they are. What they stand for.

2. State clearly what advantages "we" holds, over the rest of "us" that makes it imperative for their collective opinions to hold sway over the rest of "us" on a public forum.

3. What are the "reasons" that have been deemed a constant, and therefore, impervious to change?

donfortune48:
It's evidently clear that the winners of the contest belong to the same whatsap group.

2 out of 3.

Telegram not Whatsapp.

donfortune48:
You're really doing well bro.

Don't be offended, what's your hours online for this income yesterday?

10 trips 14 hrs.

Started by 5:30am

Spent 2 hours on one island to ikeja trip.

Spent another 2 hrs 46 mins on another island to mainland trip

Those two trips took almost 5 hrs.

Today I'm yet to start driving. Therefore, in the first 36 hrs of this new week, I've worked for 14 hrs and rested for 22hrs and counting. I've rested more than I've worked. Talk to me about burnout again.

Everything na strategy.

mrjaydee:
Go and ask Raw2 for tips.. me na part/time or even Quarter/Time driver.

@Raw2 Calm down with the diss on the honourable members of the OvenLighters crew. Hustle your hustle stay in your lane.

Peace don dey finish, I come in small peace !

I don't have issues with ovenlighters.

You cannot ovenlight in a week and make 200k weekly.

If I don't ovenlight and make my 200k, what right does an ovenlighter have to talk shit_ about my work ethics, when his work time is spent between the legs of a woman who doesn't give 2 fucks_ about him?

I really don't care about peace. Revolutions are not peaceful.

Pearl1910:
Permit me to state, the best and advisable work habit was shown by Gabrinchi...don't work everyday, u will burnout fast, have rest for yourself and your car. Sundays are easy cash out days, if u can, take advantage of it. But by all means do what works for u.

So winners should contact me and send account details. My work is done here.

Thank you.

Tell him to post his activity. Hours and trips done. I'll post mine.

Let's see who burns out more

For those people who think I don't rest because I work everyday, this is proof that I rest while working everyday. Nothing is impossible. No burn outs, nothing. Eat good and nutritiously. Just make sure you avoid gala and lacasera. Ehail driving is not rocket science.

I'll go online by 12 after sleeping and resting for over 12 hours.

Pearl1910:
Guys, as a partner-driver, just like u enjoy all your earnings without remitting to anybody, u are also soley responsible for all repairs and maintainance cost of your car.
But my question this morning is which is more painful, between the cost of repairs and the loss of income due to repairs downtime?

Downtime. My car needs a change of stabilizer linkages and I just no send am for now.

pope191:
Adult baby u do ur our typin without getting any insult from me, but since you've decided to have erection for me, let's roll a bit, but not in piggery manner. Won't stoop low to wish death on u, anyone or abuse parents like a child that lack parental training.

When u say unnecessary English, I guess u've got ur own fair of long epistles and I've never for once attack u on it, so why can't u let me b? We all work and chew gum at d same time, so unnecessary English and grammar r allowed just like your first sentence, I do that most time too when I don't have time to proof-read.

The monikers were prior Nairalanders before contest, forced me to check on ur new moniker and I saw 2012, biko how many monikers do u still have in your oven baking? Having different monikers at a go only tells of a questionable and dubious character. Not outrightly saying u are one, but just to tell u logically, ur points sound premediated and holds no weight. I have a moniker of 2006, but it is a matter of convention for me as Mrjaydee outrightly stated and mind pope was generated purely for business purpose as I have taken my private life offline.

I think it's imperative u know I'm not bothered about who wins or not, I'm just stating d obvious people can already relate with, but I guess u need me. I do indriver and I don't pass the bench mark of 80k to 100k weekly, maybe on uber that's like 100 plus and I'm not on any bonus, please it is what I want and feel free to go on with ur revolution, is non of my business. When u want to b reasonable without insult and want to have a man to man chat without insults, maybe we can agree to disagree, but until then biko adult baby!

Like I said, and will repeat, too much unnecessary English.

You like forming hardman, calling me adult baby. If I reply you in the language you understand, you'll run to moderators to get me banned, as usual.

You Do indriver and your poor benchmark is 80 - 100k. This was your reality before I posted my earnings and you came to me with stupid English as usual, saying how I'm overworking and how no one needs to make more than 10k a day and how you forget to eat in a day and how you eat gala and lacasera as food, all in a bid to drive home a stupid point of driving job not easy, without of course stating your obvious reality of your low mentality and low standards and approach to life, motivation and hard work.

I don't need you, have never done, and will never do. I take it upon myself to correct all and every stupid opinion I come across of which your opinions are always taking the cake. You need to realize that you have a lane which is 80k weekly, and stick to it. When others are maximally pushing themselves to change their situation, you need to shut up make your 80k and watch since you usually have nothing to say, and even when you do, it's comparable to zilch.

You were the same idiot that compared me to dangote all in a bid to mock me. Pray tell, how does a low poverty driven mentality oven lighting 80k making individual such as yourself have guts to use dangote as mockery to me? Are you mad or pretending to be mad?

If I'm free to go on with my revolution and it's none of your business, why the fvck do you always have the need to refer to the revolution as if you are scared it will relegate to oblivion? Not that you haven't been relegated, you should also shut up and watch. The contest wasn't for low earners. Low earners will have their day, but until then, your opinions about a high earners contest is useless at best and you should eat your humble pie and drink your lacasera as usual. Heck, you might even wait till 4pm to do so. The revolution is about replacing low earners having a conversation about how they sleep with riders, and replace it with high earners who drive for a living and want to be more motivated to do more.

I posted with this moniker because weak ineffectual buffoons like you, who feel they have monopoly of veiled insults, got more than they bargained for and ran to the moderators to delete my comments and get me banned. Now the same you, came out to castigate winners of a contest because you couldn't meet up, couldn't be bothered to get facts right, and opined stupidly as usual, on how you feel contest should have gone and who you think should have contested?

If you have a moniker of 2006 and I have a moniker of 2012, don't you think it's stupid of you to suggest that I have a dubious and questionable character because I posted with mine and you didn't? That you didn't post with your 2006 moniker makes you a better person without dubious and questionable character? You must be a congenital fool. I have no doubts about that and I've never been wrong on many things.

I can have discussions without insults. Insults come factory fitted when I'm having discussions with stupid people who believe it's their right to opine stupidly, and that their stupid opinions should be made law.

Run to the mods as usual. It has never stopped me as you well know.
