Lolz... That's what came to my mind too o.
If they break ur mirror, them go japa

OralB:
Lmao!
70k? I'm not saying it's feasible to earn this much day to day but on that Sunday that doubles as Sallah day, lmao. I made over 70k and I returned home around 9 PM because bolt doesn't give out jobs to dispatchers from 8 PM for reasons I don't know and I can't work with Uber alone since it pays peanut so I had to return home after I ended the last job I took before 8. If I wanted to work extra hours, I could easily make 100k because orders were crazy.
Attached is a screenshot of my earning in May even as there wasn't surge and as I did plenty offline trips too. Mind you, I pick jobs from Uber and indrive to compliment every long delivery which means this is just a normal month earning on bolt alone (mind you, I didn't work 31 straight days and there were days I just did one trip and returned home).
Dispatching no be wetin una think o.

I dey baba...I travelled. Took a break. Am back online.

Barbiturate:
That's the gross, including fuel.
The net is 65k including fuel.
The fuel should be btw 15 to 20k.

Remove fuel from 65k, the bal is the profit

If u have 5m cash or in ur account, then think of a business u can start with it.
Don't veer into ehailing atall

Glithronix:
Wetin dey happen on road today
If you taking ikorodu road going to island, how you want take survive?

GeneralZodd:
Here comes the Bolt PR doing his job as usual. 😁 The truth is if there is no surge, most times Indriver fare is better than bolt fare whether there is traffic or the distance is long

Glithronix:
@the bold, it is well.

Lastly, tahhhh! I ain't deleting bolt app on my phone. I will keep them as side chick while monitoring when they would finally amend their ways.
Seriously, bolt is tempting in this period, I no go lie.
My head dey always spark seeing what's on bolt since last 2 weeks. Chai!

Much respect, baba.

This post came as a Dejavu to me. Like I have read it before today.

Glithronix:
Y'all doing like say nothing is happening.
Especially those that normally complain, see as dem dey quiet.
I fit bet my balls say none of una go gree share una dashboard.
It is either una do give away or we go scatter this place.

Pearl1910:
All these story of fixed price, I don't experience it o.
I think what will settle the matter is for everyone to learn how to calculate the fare for themselves. I do this all the time and if my money is not complete (even if it is short of N200) I will message Bolt Support.
There is no way traffic will not add to the fare, [b]it's just that I think we expect it to be very big, [/b]but a 1hr delay will only increase your fare by N1,500 (60mins X N25)
Waiting time is N35/min. if the rider has a stop or delays to come out, this one really impacts the fare noticeably.
Also, Bolt estimate is more accurate now unlike before that they trick riders with low estimate but u see something big at the end of the trip. All the expected traffic time has been calculated into your fare, so dont be surprised when u end trip and it's still within the estimate.

What u should do is pull out your calculator and calculate ur trip distance and time if your fare is complete before u raise alarm

I was born, brought up and schooled in lagos, I no sure say I don reach all these places you mention.

My hustle no dey pass island, somolu, Ikeja, ojodu, gbagada... Those main main places wey the whole world know. Wetin be oko agbon, wetin be igbo elerin

Pearl1910:
Lolz...in Lagos don't do follow follow. Those people parked there may be military, government/politicians, airport staff etc. If u follow dem and do what they are doing when there is a clear Sign there saying otherwise, then be ready to identify yourself as "Espre de Corps" when enforcement comes for u.

Omoapena:
I no go still take trips to that area...

It’s been a long time off here but I will say this , a lot of people do not actually realize that this thread offers a pool of lessons (amidst the whole fights and cruise catching) for anyone who wants to grow.

Nobody owes you a direct explanation on how they migrated to a better country. If you are literate and you are expecting to be spoon-fed on how to travel then your education should be in doubt . There are a million and one resources out there on the internet but you choose to use your time blaming or shaming one who did his research and is in a better country. Use the internet , there are several pathways to migrate to better countries using this route especially for tech related people.
Also its absurd hearing the accusation that Bazoo was being bankrolled because he got a job and was providing value under Diezani. This is akin to accusing a banker of being complicit because the Bank manager stole funds in the bank.

I remember when I drove on the platform , I realized that this was not my path and I set my mind to quitting before hitting the 1 year mark . I took resources off the internet , learnt some new skills and I left the platform before hitting 6 months on this platform. I believe I left a post a long time ago on how I moved on from the platform. Some people would choose to criticize while some will learn from it and grow . It was a personal decision and I am better for it . I have declined offers to move to Middle East countries from companies because I have my sights on a different country and I know it will come one day .

Again, this post is not for everyone. Some are ok driving for a living while some will eventually skill up and move on to other things . But one thing should constantly be in the mind of every sane person out there and that is growth.
And also people are different , [b]the diverse nature of people in a society’s social strata is what makes life interesting. [/b]Nobody should be chided because he chooses to have a different way of expression.

Learn or perish.

Cool! Maybe you didn’t get the picture well and my question inbetween. I carried them to the hospital out of thinking it may be an emergency. Getting to the hospital, it is no longer an emergency, but decision. I have family and aged people. So I won’t leave them or anyone in bad state. Family or not, I don’t place life over life as we are all human. I don’t believe in saying things that I have done, but if it is a person with disability, I always help till I get them to point of comfort, I may take whatever they give me in form of money, even if it is not worth the actual trip price. Anyone that has been thro this will tell you mostly they don’t pay the actual price, but understanding and human should be the key.

If I am not mistaken this people don’t have money issue as presumed. Even the woman make it clear that she have siblings scatter everywhere and they can decide to charter me for the whole day (sorry ma, I don’t do such service). It may end up being a process of using Uber for everything and it comes cheap. The mans health does not start that morning and it wasn’t anything close to emergency. Hospitals should have ambulance at get go and bed space. We live in a failed society where we try to rest our inability on people conscience. If the man should d*e in the car? Obviously I am going offline for like 2 weeks at most, I know my kind of person. Am I ready for someone to d*e in the car? No. Charge them? Can’t put money on life. Police report? Death is not as picture, if you ask me. They may not want to take him home. From there to mortuary, to one unforeseen place or another. Boss I am not that strong. If this man should pass today(God forbid) aso ebi will go round, people will flew in from different places, event center will take million. I don’t think Uber drivers should be the one dealing with health related issues, except in a case of absolute emergency.

Thanks

Pope, like they say, it's different strokes for different folks. Our mood might also influence our decisions per time.. It's not cast in stone.

Asking them to get an ambulance in a time of emergency is wasting precious time. Since they aren't coming from the hospital per say and moreover client might not be bouyant enough to hire one. If ur fear is that (God forbid), the patient dies in ur car, u have done nothing bad either, nobody will hold u or ask u to write police report. U have tried ur best. But if the man didn't make it because they couldn't get to d hospital ontime, u will not be happy with yourself. Just for a moment imagine it's ur family member and u have a car, will u say they should get ambulance?
Like I said earlier, your decision isn't bad, it's ur choice, but in going about our business let's not forget about humanity.

Not ones not twice, I have been in this situation, and my day ended because even my mental health and moral will just go low. Life is fragile. I have carried accident victims from d highway and drove 140km/hr top speed risk my own life for over 100km
distance looking for hospital that will admit them. When I was still in school, I carried a guy that fell off a pickup truck during SUG campaign to the hospital...omo the smell of blood didn't leave my car for months...I used jik, hypo, kleen for where, d blood was much but what can I do I will still help.
I know we can all do this, because of human sympathy and we will do it for free.
So why not at the least even charge them if necessary and let the life be saved first before we think of car being messed up or time wasted. That's my take sha.

pope191:


E shock u! Now you see why I refused to apologize the other day. Truth is gradually replacing ego massage. Can’t even remember the last time experience was shared. You wonder why folks like Northbird and Barbit play on the low? Muscled.

This month, surulere was on the lock around 5, they were working on the bridge. Normally information was supposed to fly on that, on Sunday evening container fell from otedola bridge, the whole place was on lock down. Nothing! Nothing!!

E come be like everybody deh look each other like suspect, who’s the next to be hit. But in reality we have nothing to lose making each other happy, all we need is self respect and to respect each other to some tolerable extent. Anyway, I apologize on everyone behalf. You accept ?

on 4 different occasions, I jumpstarted 4 vehicles within 50metres radius. 2 were in Mall parking lots, the others were on the road side...I assisted those ones free of charge because it literally cost me nothing to do so. The two times my battery failed after alternator failures, my so called fellow drivers made sure I paid for their services despite being in the same vicinity.I got pissed in this case because of the distance and terrain I encountered, life goes on either way.

Josephase:
No vex bros.. you did 90 trips on bolt in a week? 4days Nna men!!!!
