I know someone who only works from Friday to Monday (#30k) on HP and he's doing fine. He rest for the rest of the week. He only takes his wife to and from shop and son to and fro school
You can't go wrong with weekend in this hustle.

10k each day. Fri to Sunday is doable. Na Bolt advert decieve that man sha. How you go sign 40k agreement and didn't get full custody of the car, makes no sense.

If u see the way they will be dragging road with vehicles hennn. We don really enter one chance
I have seen those cart pusher try to rob someone around Sangotedo before around 5am.

Anytime I'm parked at my spot in the morning around 4/5am, I usually leave my parking light on, and when they push their cart past where I park, I'll beam the full light so they don't near me.

I fear those people pass anything.

Bros trust me he can't complete this, unless maybe as he is seeking for loan to pay off.
Apart from that it's a suicide mission, he can only beg for the terms to be reviewed or simply let go something better will surely come.
That's why I said, hopefully he gets a good deal with the bank.

That bros na man for him to have been consistent for 8months. Chai. People are going through a lot sha.

How can the owner deprive him of weekend! Doesn't make any sense. It's total BS!

Thank God you're safe shall... If na me I go jam the two of them or better still use my knife as well.

See my knife goes with me anywhere I drive to.

Solders don't wish for war but they are happy when they hear the drum of war being beaten.
I know when to apply common sense boss. We live to fight another day.

On Tuesday morning, I almost got killed by an Aboki okada rider, I still chop slap join in Lekki.

This is what happened: I wanted to park around CIS Leasing way off Busola Durosinmi Etti, on that street there's a right turning that leads to another street, I was very close to that turning when one okada came out from that street and face me (riding one-way).. He hit my car damaging my bumper and right foglight.

I had not even shifted the gear to park so I can access the damage, he was already asking me if I was blind and trying to run away.

I quickly came down from the car, went to meet him, dragged him off from his bike and removed his keys. He started dragging his the key with me, i hit his hands off and went to take the screw driver I keep by door to scare him off.

Come and see how Abokis boys started appearing from every corner, one was even coming at me with a big paving stone, aiming for my head. I dodged it.

The Okada guy himself just went to his bike to take a very sharp object (that iron vulcanizer use to push in cold patch or whatever it's called). He charged at me, swinging it. I had to run leaving my car. At this point, he has also removed my car.

There were two Hausa guys in another car that say all that happened, they calmed the Okada guy. Next thing one of the guy in the car did was slap me. Saying why would I threaten him with weapon first, it's like I don't value my life, they own this axis and if I try anything silly I'll find myself to blame.

The CIS Leasing security guys called me to one side and said I should let it go, told me how dangerous those guys can be.

Throughout that day, my left eye just red and watery. I no fit tell anybody wetin my eye see for war front when I reach house.

Normal level, I get pepper spray inside car, I'll only resort to defending myself with only if it was a hostage situation or in a proper gridlock (no movement). This one, I had enough clearance, i chose the easy way out.

dneit's the one they call end of discussion. a friend wants to buy it for bolt business but i've never seen anyone using it for bolt
Quite a good number of people use the car for E-hailing.

He should get a good unit, if Nigeria used; inspect very well with a qualified and trusted mechanic.

With proper maintenance, he has nothing to worry about. Superb engine and excellent AC. Just pay attention to the suspension.

I'm currently in the market looking for one.

Guys be vigilant when in traffic around Ajah. I almost got robbed around 9:10am today.

I was heading to Abraham Adesanya with riders in the car, slight traffic around Ilaje before you ascend the bridge.

As a norm around that axis, pedestrians are always crossing, some will gesture to you to slow down for them to cross, while you as a driver will either wait or not depending on the situation.

I slowed down for two guys to cross, one went through the back, the second guy passed in front of the car.
the one that went through the back started hitting my car, banging hard on it. He then quickly jumped on the road divider, at first I was surprised, then it turned into anger

I rolled the driver glass, before I could complete the heavy curse I wanted to lay on him, the one that passed front of the car ran towards me, with his hand under his Polo shirt with a sizeable kitchen knife tucked inside.

Luckily there was no car in front of me, that's how I zoomed off.

It's likely not a case of low freon, the AC dey over chilled and once the pipes are blocked it stops chilling.
Evidently the thermostat isn't working, otherwise it was meant to be tripping of from time to time.
It's a possibility; not limited to.

There's no filling station there, boss.
And my agitation there was that, how dem go cut banner in circular form and paste it on one pole like that?
The pole looked like something else was there but these police go cut banner and paste it on the pole plate with one way symbol where you no go notice am.
Like that's not enough, they were charging offenders 15k - 20k, me na 10k I paid.
And their oga was collecting the money from the offenders openly on the street, dem no hide am at all.
It is well sha.
Much respect, boss
I know the road you are talking about. It's actually one way. That was where I was arrested earlier this year, although I quickly reversed out of the road the moment I noticed it and followed the right road.

It was on that right road they stopped me, their boss said he saw me enter there and also reversing. Na one black chubby man like that.

We ended up at Akinpelu station, parted with 10k.

Check your fan blades and motor, make sure it is spinning optimally without wobble and in the right direction.
The fins on the radiator too should not be damaged, mashed together or pressed down more than 50% of it's area.
Am assuming the new top gasket is original and functioning well. But that's another thing that can cause overheating when u drive on speed.
Other cooling components like thermostat, water pump, radiator, radiator cover, water pipes, if defective will cause the engine to overheat even when just warming the car without even moving.

If all these are okay then sorry your engine is...
A failing Water Pump might not cause overheating at Idle or low speed same as the radiator cover.

From personal experience with a 97 Accord, the culprit was the water pump.

Goodday comrades. Please I need your expertise on this issue: when I accelerate or attempt to ascend a hilly road car temperature goes up but when I slow down or drive in traffic temperature goes to normal

Things I have done:
1. Changed top gasket
2. Washed radiator
3. Changed oil
Have you checked the Water Pump?

U obviously have not been paying attention on this thread.
The first two parameters must not be more than 25% each at any given time.
The last two can be very high, no wahala...but the first two must be watched closely.

So sometimes even if u don't want to go on the trip, pick the order and cancel after 3mins or allow rider to cancel. Yes, it may affect your Driver score but u have to balance it out.
Maximum figures
You cancelled 25%
You did not accept 25%
Client cancelled 75%
Client did not show 50%
Bros I know all these things, it's just that since this driver score came, I haven't been able to balance the Passenger Cancel part because I avoid passenger canceling on me so it doesn't affect my score hence I either not accept or decline (bolt tricked me into doing that based on the email they sent then that we can ignore any trip we don't want to take).

Well I figured a way out already without affecting my driver score.

Bros trust me of you do all these you said your acceptance rate won't be this low, check well.
Bros I no get issues with the acceptances rate. My average acceptance rate is between 65-70% even before this driver score Wahala came.

Before now I know how to manage that 4 quotient....at least I know how to force riders to cancel but my fear now Is riders cancelling. Looks like I'll just sacrifice 5% from my driver score undecided

You'll get better with time. Take it one day at a time. Don't be pressurized.

Whatever you do, avoid ONE-WAY. (VI, Somolu/Yaba, Mushin, Lagos Island....etc)

Always tell your riders you are new, majority will be willing to assist you.

Target long trips, have your rider app handy so you can always check the riders destination to know two things; the possible fare and location where you are going to.

May the force of the land be with you.

Remember, you will still pay your dues to Lagos officials on the road, my prayer is that it's not a costly one.

You have to accept all request even if you have no intention of completing them, then arrive and wait for 3 minutes then cancel.
That way it won't affect your acceptance rate and activity scores, I for like give you another tip but no be everything we go share online.
grin
I try as much as possible to accept all trip and cancel with 'passenger ask to cancel'... My only fear is that doing so shoots up the Client Did Not Show Up % which may also eventually lead to blocking hence I want to know how to balance it and I don't want riders to cancel.

Good day gentlemen..

Please how can I balance this ?
