Morningstarrr:
Good morning guys. An intending partner is asking for my opinion between Corolla 06 and Civic 06. From what I heard, Corolla is more durable compared to Civic, but I’m not sure about fuel economy and cost of parts. Please I’ll appreciate if you guys can help me with the best option.

Note: partner wants to go for direct Belgium

direct Belgium for both cars wont be the same, go for the cheaper 1 so that u wont spend more than 3 years paying for a car

Pearl1910:
Use Indrive na...make una rest.
Or u use Rida, they give daily fuel.

Instead of calling out the people responsible for the fuel scarcity, u wan drag bolt and Uber put for government incompetence.

ok bolt agent

Been at the fueling station since 6am and still i never get fuel. Bolt/uber will not consider this factors all they car about is their 25%

Omoapena:
Good morning pilots, pls if you know anyone who wants to butcher his car and sell off in parts maybe due to accident or something, pls refer such to me, I need to buy complete fuel tank, my car fuel tank is leaking seriously at the joint in the middle due to rust and its wasting fuel for me...


Pls or if you know any dealer that will sell complete for me at affordable price, you can refer the dealer to me as well...
Thanks

which kind bad luck for this fuel scarcity

Bolt has blocked all their drivers in abuja. Almost all trips coming in are out of raduis

This is a good question, I will share from personal view as well as what my fellow e-hailers are doing.

1) I utilize a 4 plug engine car for this business to save cost but if yours is 6 plugs you are not at a disadvantage though.

2) Make sure your engine or other fuel associated parts are in good conditions too, cos some fuel mismanagement may be due to this fact too.

3) Your choice or ride pick matters too , it's not a must to go pick a rider whose destination away from you is 22 minutes yet his real travel time to where such rider book is 15 minutes. I do ensure to add both time it will take to reach rider and their final destination to know if it worths such price before picking. I won't be able to do this if I'm doing higher purchase or rental, desperation makes some people pick even the worst or weirdest trip.

4) Conserving fuel while alone, you don't want to consume your fuel without a trip. Sometimes you can pack at an eatery, chill there buy a soft drink or something that can afford you relaxing in such place till you get a trip. Don't sit in the car with full AC on. Know that you are also consuming the fuel.

5) Peak temperature periods, these hours from 9am - 5pm see most cars being hot internally due to rise in ambient temperature around 27-34 deg in must part. Note that traffic is also with those hours sometimes, I could decide to do few trips within these said periods but diligently hit the road from 6pm-9pm as I will need less AC or sometimes I crave the indulgence of my passenger that I won't be able to on the AC throughout except we hit a traffic cos of high cost of fuel. Most do cooperate while some tyrants ones do complain but we still head on.

I use Honda Accord 2009, full tank @ #169/litre costs me #11,500. With full tank, I make #85k-#95k though I get more than these sometimes when I get tipped by riders. So, let's do the maths.

#85,000-#11,500 = #73,500 (mind you, I sometimes blow free from some long distance when I'm tired or closing for the day. I'm not a full time driver)

Fuel Consumption Ratio : Revenue Ratio

11.5 : 73.5 or 1 : 6.4 (I understand when I'm below this ratio likewise when I'm above it.

You make how much? Abuja drivers una day suffer

ReadaDream:
So some drivers reduce price on RIDA just to secure the order?

Rider offered 3800, a driver reduced it to 3400?

bro they reduce the price just to win the bid but when they call the rider they negotiate another price. Rida na jungle u gats adapt

SamuelTaiw0:
I dey dey look you. Remaining positive sa. It's good

no b me and u day do that 1 all i did was share an info. Have a nice day

SamuelTaiw0:
You people are just allowing this govt. to deceive you. pH refinery they've been commissioning since or another one?

which 1 is u people, yall only believe bad news in this country sha and that post was not political at all dont kw why u making it so

Gentlelife50:
For your mind it will make fuel scarcity disappear?
Mind you it won't still make fuel cheaper that it used to, the Guy will be targeting world price.
That one is sure, after all he will be wanting to recover the money spent fast.
But if this country isn't scam why will an individual build an refinery yet federal government can't fix the nation's refinery?
Something fishy is going on

heard FG has 20% shares in Dangote refinery while that ph own will be commissioned this year

[quote for author=kingreign post=119931369]Check using a digital multimeter the following:
1. When car is running at idle, battery charge, take note of voltage reading
2. When car is running at idle, fully loaded, alternator charge, take note of voltage reading

Disconnect battery terminal, If the car shuts down, replace alternator. If it doesn’t shut down, take note of alternator voltage reading, then test your ELD and smart battery charge sensor.[/quote]had same issues this morning, had to use another bat3 to start the car, does it mean i should change the alternator?

Once FG remove subsidy can we say goodbye to ehailing ?

BernieLee:
Hi guys. I need some information on how to go about this matter. I took a ride from the ikeja airport last night 7pm to diamond estate in iPaja. Rides lasted for 1hr 28m.

When I booked, the price showed 5200-6500 taking into account mma2 and mm1 parking fee. One driver cancelled and then the 2nd driver said he couldn’t drive into the airport cos his vehicle would be impounded so I offered to walk out to the AP fuel station a few meters outside the airport.

And the ride started, when we arrived Bolt ended the trip and did not show fare. It just showed 0 on my phone and trip price is in review on driver’s phone. An argument ensued for 30minutes and I offered to pay 6500 with the understanding that if bolt sends a receipt we would balance each other depending on the amount. He claimed the price was 8000plus.

Lo and behold Bolt sent the receipt by 11:37pm and it was 4300 meaning I overpaid by 2200. I have reached out to the driver and he’s not taking my calls. I’ve sent him a text with my account details and still no response. I intend to take this up with Bolt. It’s not above me to leave that money but not in this fraudulent manner. Kindly advise.

drop his number and make e colleges talk sense to him

Just abuja or fuel scarcity of fuel is coming back?

GeneralZodd:
Big the difference between Lagos earnings and Abuja earning.

My earnings in Lagos

we day suffer for abuja bro, prices are cheap and people day charge 25%

GeneralZodd:
. The price still no make sense to me, but the good thing is that driver can offer their own price, Rider will most certainly go for the cheapest.

na the only problem with bidding process funny enough drivers will lower bid just to be picked then when they call them go tell u to add normal price. Bidding process na jungle my man

Yall know we abuja drivers make peanut but still pay 25% i don leave the other app for una way b serious drivers

GeneralZodd:
Una wan cast Rida for us. Registration is closed for now, the app don full. we no dey accept new drivers.

Imagine 15 drivers dey contest for one trip

make them no accept new drivers for now oboy the driver way go get this trip no b small cash out

Gentlelife50:
Rider na the new oil block ooo

boss abeg no cast am , today as i b won bid one trip before i say make i look road then offer my price passanger don choose another driver all under 2 sec i won mad cus the money huge i nearly cry

Eyinola1:
am not a fan of bolt infact their commission dey pain me to d bone but I can say it was still a better deal for me in December, from my calculations I never paid more than 10% commission in December because I make sure I chop the bonuses which cover a larger part of the commission e.g if I gross 50K am supposed to pay 25% com of 12,500...but I always wins 11/10K to cover up, so from my own calculations I will only loose out 2,500 or 1500 as commission from 50K grossed

Meanwhile I am off road till February and once I resumed it will be rider and indrive all d way Bolt for me is now seasonal

after praising them u still won seasonal them. Day play

ReadaDream:
......

indriver?

SamuelTaiw0:

Must I have Telegram?
Much respect, boss.

SamuelTaiw0:
This here! Very annoying and it can't be enlarged. Another thing is that you can't rely on their pickup time.

There was a time I picked a rider to igando from Magodo very early in the morning. I no Sabi road so I had to rely on the woman to describe the road for me. My G-map was just hanging. That was my third trip on getting the car.

I dropped her though she annoyed me but I just kept my cool that one is story for another day. After I dropped her, I parked in one filling station like that and turned on rida. A ride came in from around Lasu-Iba road to Akowonjo. Seemed like a good deal, I can't remember the price but I was ready to take it as I was looking for a ride towards Ikeja. My mistake was that I just drove out without checking G-map. I opened the map when I was on Lasu-Iyana Iba road. I just checked time to destination Google map said 45 minutes. Rida said 10 mins, it was first of all 15 mins. The rider was calling. G-map took me inside one street like that. That street was hell. Where G map was taking through no road. Dead ends. I just turned back and drove empty to egbeda. Got another ride from there to Ikeja along before I went to Bolt office Lekki to resolve issue with my Bolt account.

Rida is a good app but there are some places some should not go with that app.

totally agree with u but who am i to complain so far i no day pay commission before i start my car i day always ask can i locate u through G-map

Glithronix:
Be like say I go need to complete my registration on this Rida before I resume.
Much respect, SeniorMan.

boss abeg complete ur registration awuuf day purge belle but u see this 1 nothing like that make we chop am before them start their commission nonsense

Snrman1:
