Hi guys, l have Honda CR-V 08 (2.4L engine) is it profitable for Uber/bolt business considering maintenance and fuelling. A honest advice please. The country is not smiling.

Go ahead. Nothing do you

Anyone else experiencing network issues with BOLT App?

Pearl1910:
Lol...The guy dey mad...na voice note him dey use deliver that kain message give u?

Na nonsense guy.

IFSHR:
God bless you for this, you didn't need to even fight....tell me your right address make we go.

was her eyes closed while you were driving?

.

Earlier in the day, I got a request from Isolo, destination showed CMS Grammar School, Somolu.

I picked the girls up and we didn't exchange any conversation from the start of the trip till we got to the school.

When we got there, I informed the one that booked, and she placed a call through to the person they came to see.....in the background I heard the lady they should drop and take a bike to Evans Street and ask for xxxxxx playground.

Immediately knew they were going to Lagos Island. I told her to ask if it's Lagos island, the lady at the other end of the phone said Yes...

So would they have blamed me for taking them to Somolu? And say they are not paying?

They respected their self, updated the address to marina and off we went. Collected my full fare.

.............................

Two Sundays ago, a lady order me to deliver cake from muritala Mohammed yaba to one address like that.

The address showed surulere when it came in, I picked up the cake and drove to destination, I called rider and told her where I was, she kept saying she's outside and can't see me.

How come, I stepped out of the car, she still didn't see me. So I read out the address to her, No 75, Bleep street, Aguda.

The girl exclaimed saying no oooo, she's at Ketu off TAC headquarters.

Mogbe. I quickly called the lady that booked and told her where I was and where receiver is. Na there I know say wahala go happen.

She updated the address to Ketu own, off I went. I got there and ride ended 5k.

Receiver was to pay for trip, she said they told her she was to pay 1500 for delivery how come I'm saying 5k.

Me I sha lock cake for inside car. After so much back n forth, sender sent 3k, receiver paid 2k. Before I dropped cake. I spent more than 1 hour there, I sha collected my money.

You deserve a bottle of Goldberg for this. But try to
get car Bluetooth

I have Car Bluetooth and hands-free. The voice note eehn I needed to listen to well well make them no go put me for gbese.

I put a friend's RX350 toks at a dealers stand in lekki to sell only for him to send me voicenote that someone is at his shop to pick it up that he said I sent him. Person wey I no Sabi. That kind voice note go make you destabilize

Felicity0001:
Yes you did the right thing like the man up there said.

Continue very soon you'll find your sorry self in your village carrying farm and market women from bushfarm to market and their houses without them paying you a dine you'll report to the oba and elders if councils then they'll make you head of women affairs

Least I forgot, why didn't you assist her in offloading her luggage as well since Bolt was going to refund you after all? Or isn't that what you do and will always do?

My brother you've been scammed not just by your rider but also by Bolt itself, I bet you Bolt won't refund even half to you. The last time people tried to advised you about carrying luggage you were so adamant against the advice given to you... No worry very soon your eyes go clear well. Better wise up!

If not... C village C U.

Guyman is not fully ready for this hustle. He needs to understand that driving on Bolt/Uber is different from the corporate world.

You need to be smart with enough dose of madness locked somewhere to be unleashed once once. If not, everybody will frustrate you. From riders to Lagos state road officials (name them).

.............................................................

Yesterday morning, absent-mindedly I was listening to a voice note while descending Ajah bridge,, there was slight traffic. I looked up, .lastma Don rush me, one jumped in front of the car, another was trying to open the door.

I ignore both of them and kept driving ready to break the one in front of the cars leg. He kept banging my Bonnet shouting stop stop stop. I didn't answer, I kept moving, he saw I wasn't going to wait, he just left and told his colleague to take pictures.

Me I Don go. You have no evidence of me making calls. So anywhere we meet, make them prove am.

Car owner Don track driver reach palm spring road...make I go do uturn come hear gist

This babe used 5 different cologne. From perfume to body spray to anti perspirant to perf-oil..

Na small remain I for chock even as I quickly rolled down the windows.

P.S These girls they try o. Na 4 different sausage the babe won chop this evening. Two for Lagos continental, one for Chevron...she no talk last location before she end call with her friend.

Barbiturate:
No, it's not on surge.

Humm I hope the trip is bringing you back to civilization, and it's a long one. If not, there's no point waiting more than 5 minutes.

You can't cancel again lol, na you go loose. Just wait.

Barbiturate:
Is this kind of wait worth it?

You didn't provide enough info.

Where is destination, is the trip on surge?

MoonlightDrive:
SHORT TIME
I had set destination trip, when I got a request I was happy, I would be getting home early.
The rider likely a Chinese called and seemed quite desperate
Chinko : where are you
Me; I am close by
Chinko; Come fast fast
As I drove to pu I was wondering why my intended passenger was so desperate.
He got into the car
Chinko,: let's move fast
I started the trip saw that it was a short trip actually within the neighborhood.
The Chinese dude was fidgeting with his seatbelt
Chinko: we go pick up girl then you bring me back..
Me: no problem
Chinko: u wait for me 20 to 30mins
Me: I can't wait
Chinko: how much... I pay
Me: not about money i have to get back home on time.
Me: do you want me to end the trip
Chinko: no no no..
The journey continued we drove to opebi roundabout, like an eagle looking for a prey to devour, the first circle, he was not satisfied
Chinko: we go around again drive more slowly
This was not the destination trip I had hoped for a destination trip that moves you around in circles.
Chinko: stop stop... reverse
The ladies of easy virtues flocked the car
Chinko: you
Babe: what do u want
Chinko: short time
Babe: N5k
Chinko: too much, I pay N4k...
The lady quickly jumped into the car before her other competitors snatch the deal....
I was like N4k for 30mins from a foreigner, is it that cheap......
Chinko: drive fast, please wait for us I pay you..
I maintained my earlier resolve
As I drove them back to drop off point
Chinko: wait for us for 20 mins I give you N2000, he brought out the money...
N2k just to sit and enjoy the cool night breeze while posting on nairaland I was tempted but I had to decline...
Here is a lady about to have her body devoured and scavenged for 20 mins for N4k and I am turning down N2k just to wait for 20mins....
Truly I am yet to imbibe the hoodlum spirit.

moonlight drive, you did not live up to your name.

Johnchrix:

Ride will sleep small, wake up and hiss, and the cycle continued till we got to ilaje.

I vex off radio because at some point everything was just annoying to me.

Johnchrix:

YeyeGbami:
Na bolt fault, dem suppose allow drivers update profile picture if na once in a year. My picture from 2017 still dey there.

Some people dey wonder if na me sef.

Lol.. You can change your driver picture on the App. It will take about 5 working days to get it verified.

What if forming serious and not able to take a joke is Ikeja man's way of catching cruise...

I need recommendations of companies that rent out cars to be used for E-hailing.

YeyeGbami:
Sorry bro. It can be tiring, you don’t have uber?
I use uber to change location if nothing come on bolt.

No. I use Bolt and indriver; indriver only in the morning before traffic and to escape some dead zone on the mainland back to island.

Pearl1910:
Am I missing something in this post?! Cos I no understand wetin u dey try talk o

Instead of waiting endlessly for trip, I went home.

BTW the time I made that post and now, I've gotten home.

Traffic to sangotedo they fear me if not shebi I for just close this bolt app with fake surge wey no gree ring since.

BAZ001:
Lazy driver like you, I would have jumped at it and come here to post how I did a single trip and made 10k

I am not in the right state of mind to navigate through that traffic. There's Osborne to oworoshonki own too ahead. I fit faint.

Gentlelife50:
If you love yourself don't come to shangotedo, in fact both sides are blocked all the way to almost lakwe.

Surge was going lure me out, only to check map and I saw this.

Got a trip to Magodo from Sangotedo on 1.6x but omo that traffic, as rider no see she cancelled.

childofgrace2k:
I had thesame experience with a girl I picked from an Hotel in Chevy view estate sometimes ago. She entered the front seat and she started crying. I needed to ask what the problem was. Then still crying, she said the Man she came to meet only paid her 40k for spending the Night with him, that the love-vendor that connected her to the man told her the Man would pay her well, that's the reason she didn't bargain with the Man from beginning.

She said "Can you imagine this Man Fu.cked me overnight like three times , and still did it this morning, even at his age, he could still make love like that, From this 40k, the love-vendor that connected me will take 10k, my transport 10k, at the end na only 20k go remain for my hand

She said the Man will be in his late 50s.

Omo, 40k for a night.. and I've been running around lavos since morning like a headless chicken

Anyway, at least she traded something for the money.

davit:
