The soldier actually tricked me. He pretended to want to run checks on the car then make video and sent to the man.

Also, it was inside barracks. I didn't want to create a scene. That's why I calm down.
Sorry I couldn't go through the agreement you uploaded, but if the agreement doesn't state that you must notify him before you do any major work like the engine work you did, then you have more ground to go with Pearl advise.

Omoapena:
I'm not sure most of those trips that dissappear was taken by someone and if taken, it's possible the person didn't accept the actual price and probably negotiated the highest bid...
Omoapena, you haven't met some frustrated and desperate drivers. They just want to keep driving, they just urgently need that money irrespective of the effects on their earnings and car. Mind you, there are influx of newbies lately, all these ads up, Bolt and indrive will take advantage of these. Talking about Bolt commission reduction, is simply a gimicks with touch of hushpuppi style. Your fare net will show 10k(ordinarily bolt been operating fix fares), but by experience, using short cut or luck, trip ends earlier, it will end in net of 8.5k bolt takes 1.5k to your outstanding or wallet and you will think is commission reduction. grin. Bolt is just necessary evil app. You have to play along to survive. Imagine the ridiculous fares lately. Also note: there are lots of 9-5 people taking all these ridiculous trip just to get to their office.

Drivers: Reduce commission
Fares should be reasonable
Profile riders for security reasons
Bolt: Bonus 12 trips for 6,500
Island Area 1
Rest of Lagos + Border areas
Ikeja and Centra(RM)
Egbeda(RM)
Outer ring(RM)
grin grin grin... The egbeda part is even worse because I have cancelled several fair trip at the sight of "Egbeda"... I don't even look at Border areas twice before cancelling. Pearl, please tell your people in the next board meeting to revert to old route designation.

Nairalanders,

Now that I’ve confirmed that I can hustle after getting some request from both InDrive and Bolt, please help me solve the following:

What type of request I can accepts and reject according to price, because am seeing some 2000 naira trips yesterday which I rejected.

Which are should i target and avoid ? This is very important.

Apart from my car documents which is completed, what other document do you think I should get that won’t make VIO/FRSC gives me problem while plying roads?

God bless you as you help me solve above
Boss, please go through the old pages of this tread and read. Since everything is intact and you still have some time before going online. Or rather, just click on either Pearl or Omoapena's monicker and go through their old comments, you will be fine. More importantly, when you get delivery ride, don't go inside any shop or mall or warehouse to receive anything for rider, stay in your car while they bring it to you, don't accept any code for any rider to help them receive stuff for delivery. Ensure you ALWAYS get your fuel from confirmed filling stations (MRS@Ahmodu bello way, Mobil @Ogba/Agidingbi, NNPC@Ojodu, adjacent FRSC if you like them, Total@Gbagada,). Don't buy fuel at all these Ogo Oluwa or Edegbe filling station at this period ooo. Fares are ridiculous, buying fuel wrongly will add salt to injury. Don't mind to drive 7/10km to get your daily good fuel. But please, find time to read this thread. Much respect boss grin

Pearl1910:
Anybody using FAAC to hide the true nature of things is just being clever by half.
Lagos State IGR alone is more than the FAAC of the three top oil producing states in Nigeria combined. Lagos state earns more than the top 6 richest states in Nigeria combined.
On top of that Lagos still collects a fat FAAC plus IGR and surpasses all other states by a factor of more than X10.
Anybody comparing Lagos with other States should ask his father why his family isn't as rich as Otedola, Abiola or Otudeko family. Afteral they are all Yoruba and existed in same century. So by that logic of why are other states not like Lagos, then his father should be as rich as the Adeleke family and should have same wealth.

To whom much is given, much is expected.

They never compare Lagos with Abuja cos Abuja floors Lagos. Yes it's unfair to compare FCT with Lagos but oh, it's okay to compare Lagos with other States?
If u want to downplay the role of Federal capital being in Lagos for so many years ask yourself why FCT is the second highest after Lagos in IGR generation.

The govt of Lagos is glad people are here doing business and earning a living because it's fetching the State money and they encourage more people to come to Lagos and transact. It's only ragtags that can't comprehend nada that will be saying go back to ur state in a bid to spit.
And Lagos borrowings is so huge.

From what I know, when changing ownership or switching plate number of a sold car to a new car, u need Affidavit to back it up.
Your license plug should know this.
Or better still don't carry any linking documents showing the number was formerly used on another car.
Really!! Hearing this for the first time. My license plug denied it. I will have to do that. Thank you boss.

Same police stopped me for old series plate number engraved on my car. Requesting for police report and court affidavit. cheesy
I showed him a valid allocation of plate number showing the old-new plate number details, previous proof of ownership on the old plate number.
I was even ready to show him the old plate numbers sitting in my trunk, but didn't need to drag with the ignorant fellow.

I just asked him if the Nigerian police issue plate numbers now?

Is it my fault that the Fed govt discontinued the old series plate numbers and lured many of us to pay for new series plate numbers.

Last last, I drove off with a smirk on my face.
Eccentric set of human beings. I really don't like having conversations with them. Just check papers and I leave. The more you explain yourself, the more complicating it sound to them. You just have to roll with their state of mind at that point in time or be stressed.

I was stopped by police, checked papers. I am using my old plate number on my new car. Which is EXISTING. I have the existing number place registration paper, old proof ownership showing old car. But renewed proof of ownership showing my current car. Now, police said I must have court papers showing I use my old plate on my new car. I was shocked to my anus. grin.After serious arguments about that, took me to their station, which I won't allow ordinarily( I prefer doing normal than drive inside station) but I was interested to get to see their ogas, hoping they will correct him, their own is even worse, we met 3 different boss, all saying same thing.,Eventually, I concluded, I am dealing with Nigeria police. My mistake is, trying to explaining to them and forgot I am dealing with Nigerian police.This is how it has been for years, just get existing number plate paper. They spoke with the person in charge of my paper renewal, that one makes it worse because she was so annoyed hearing such. You can't drag with them, so is either I wait till Tuesday to go customary court and do the the paper(if there is anything like that) or I do normal. I chose the later... Let the rotting continues.

Inside life.
But at night, just like most traffic lights stop functioning that you can drive without their caution, shey the speed limits also stand on late night driving?
Like, one would still get captured if they exceed the speed limit even if say na late hour for night?

Much respect, sir.
I saw a Tiktok video of a guy that was fined at 3:50am on that MBA road, same thing he said, will he be moving slow at midnight. But I still believe the fines is extortion because no road sign whatsoever, atimes you forget speed limit when you are in hurry. Imagine, Omoapena was fined at 65km/phr. Moreso, 80km/hr on 3MB is not fair for such highway.

If it was Pearl that was invited to this morning program on NigeriaInfo, he would have defended Bolt with one of his balls that they have enough security grin... Kofi would have been frustrated by his optimism nature. Pearl would said bolt have security escorts for each driver on trip with special drones monitoring drivers while on trip.

Barbiturate:
@SHOOPSYN

I guess one can decline long PU request on uber, but what are the stringent rules?
The first instance is the issue you narrated. Uber blocked me for issues like this. I had to mail and blast them, just hear my side of the story or check my records, I have never had issue with any rider until that day, next day, they unblocked me.
Also, Uploading my renewed insurance on Uber is always hectic for me, despite the details on NIID, uber will say Insurance number not tally. I can be on that for days because they would have block your access to the app. Wetin concern Bolt with car papers, just carry their rider from point A to B and they get their commission, everybody is fine.
More so, Uber will block you for inspection because a rider that doesn't like you complained about your car despite your inspection is up to date. They are just too perfect grin for this kind of Nigeria environment. It is getting difficult to do the right thing in this porous and frustrating Nigeria environment. I really like Uber, but they don't understand the system. Presently, I am not sure if acceptance rate still affect drivers, but if it does, then they have more issue.

Barbiturate:
I think Uber is the best app now. Met an uber driver at abagbon close, who only works on uber. He came to pick some people. The riders shared themselves, some entered mine(indrive) and some entered his. We got talking before they entered and he advised me to work solely on uber with my muscle. That it will pay me better than indrive and bolt. We discussed some other things. I told him Uber blocked me a long time ago. He said he could help open it again. That he would talk to an insider in uber.

Infact he added me to one of their groups. He asked me the reason for the block and I told him I had a little issue with a rider and he reported me and they blocked me without asking me what transpired.

I'm hoping he would help me open it. Make I try uber again. I don taya for indrive and bolt dey do "on and off".....if U know!
Good one. May be when you try it,you can actually determine which is better. But the bottom line about these ehailing apps is, none is better than the other. If you have access to the 3 apps, you have to know when to switch. There are atimes that you will hate the sound of Indriver whenever Bolt opens the tomatoes border. And there are some 'locations' you will have to put off your Bolt app and stay with indriver or Uber. But Uber likely frustrate you with long pick up and some of their rules is way too stringent for a country like Nigeria. Only bolt understand that Nigeria is partly country/Zoo grin... However , the grand rules still remains, do what works for you. Or whichever you mastered. Glithromix has eaten indriver vegetable concussion, he refused to leave. Nonetheless, "No loyalty in this ehailing" business, (Felicity001, 87BC.)

Indrive is giving me what I want with peace of mind ni.
I started e-hailing with bolt and later switched to indrive and I've been having good times on indrive.
Uber is alien to me. I don't even know how it looks like. I will rather use bolt than using Uber.
Maybe I go take advantage of bolt in December's surge. cheesy

Much respect, boss.
If I hear Bolt gban gban on your phone, I go break your side mirror grin..... We no want you. The tomato stew Bolt prepared for us for December can't be shared with you and your Hushpuppi Indrive grin.... And if you refuse, na Ikorodu girls Bella go dey give you.
