Baba Govt will never set standard, Apps should do that. Take for instance minimum wage is 70K but people still pay their staff less than N50,000 salary for monthly work. Govt need to regulate all sectors of labour if the economy is to balance.

For the app companies, it's all about survival for them too, they don't care an inch about drivers. They want to get more riders by reducing fares and make more money as their commissions are not affected at the expense of the drivers. Government is looking the other way too. If all sectors are regulated, things go balance, money will flow, you won't pay a mason that work the whole day N15,000. Which is just a little above $10, when someone elsewhere around the world earns over $10 an hour. Politicians won't like that, big businesses won't either. Ever wondered why the stinkingly rich do not japa? The system pays them cos Labour is too cheap in Nigeria. It's too cheap to live here, not real laws, our laws na for mouth.
Make Una de play. It's going to get more worse. The system is just taking advantage of all you fellas. Find a side hustle, cos this situation has come to stay somehow and may not go away anytime soon.

It's all in the hands of government. Normally, There should be standard fees for cabs set by Lagos government, but they will not impose it because they are already in the business themselves, it is to their benefit that other competitors chicken out and they get more control.
Who is the winner when it comes to Uber exit? It's lagride. The best standard closest to Uber is lagride and zero cab.
If the drivers make enough noise to get enough attention, then the government may set the standard.

Good morning people, pls where can I get gas this morning

Getting gas ain't that easy anymore
But try Portland and ibafo na sure bet
Apple junction,cele,agingbidi,apapa,mushin, marina maybe
Oshodi likely next week. Peace

Pls add me

Nelochukwu:
There r few stations with constantly good pressure like IOGC agege and apapa. Iz worth is driving to does areas to buy.

Furthermore there is a cng group on Whatsapp u can join that updates drivers daily on stations selling with good pressure

You are right chief. It will really take a long time for any casting if at all sef. Getting roi is very easy. And with the misinformation around about cng, the adoption is low. I travelled to Ife and almost everyone did not know what cng is, even after showing them the cng tank. Even educated people too say a lot of trash about it. Ordinary ai has lots of info about it. Convert as soon as you can, the only downside I see is boot space. Peace

Nelochukwu:
Honestly cng cannot cast now. It won't be like LPG asides from it being cheaper to produce out of all the other hydrocarbons, the infrastructure setup will tell u so. Do you know how much private companies and governments and invested? The MOUs reached and other documents executed to pool funds and establish infrastructures?

Bros such deals are sealed tightly that subsequent governments MUST honour because alot of investments are at stake.

Furthermore like u rightly said. Any businessman who installs it will save the money used in no time at all. Infact the time will depend on work ethics meaning it will be in the drivers hands.

God will help us to recover all investments and swim in profits all trulife.

chidifrank:
Do you have any sure qualified place one can do this cng conversion

Let me share this, cng will actually make you very stingy. Like you won't want to ever buy a drop of petrol again. Better for Cars in premium engine condition. Lagos to Osogbo. To-fro. Cng - 20k.
Laslas cng will cast. But before then, those that will cash out big time will. You don't expect to drive all your life right? You better borrow money and do it if your lifelohood depends on it.

60k can't do my feeding sef

twinskenny:
10kva deye inverter

30kwh lithium battery

16 no of 620w jinko

Location Osogbo

Installations fee 60k

Some client though... I can't even reply to this... I know some installer will sure take up the job

Good afternoon people. Pls can I get hackney permit for abuja plate number from lagos vio

It appears manual transmission is better for cng then. Your head is the computer.

Whao. I like this. You are a bad guy. With the way you are going, you go bad pass 90% kazim AC techs. Since it doesn't trip at high speed, i feel it may be related to the pressure in the ac system itself. I dont have deep knowlegde, but let the knowledgeable ones talk.

Eazilyfe:
Yeah boss, i think its a condenser heat exchange issue, i have been brainstorming with chatgpt & Deepseek since. Its a new condenser so i cant says its bad

I have a Guage to check AC psi, if the inside fan is 4 speed the AC works harder and the PSI increases to 42 above which will cause that RPM fluctuation issue at idle or traffic.

But immediately i reduce the Fan speed to 2 or 1 it makes the low side drop to 30 psi and the Compressor works normal no issue.

I think i need to drain and refill gas on a hot day with Fan on 4 speed, then recharge the AC to trip off at not more than 35psi on speed 4 without pouring water on condenser to cool it. So when i reduce the fan speed(3,2 & 1) it will even become cooler at different fan speed since my system is tuned to 35psi at highest speed(which is the best airflow to quickly remove heat in hot cabin)

Pouring water to achieve cooling while recharging will give issue later when condenser is left with only fan to regulate/cool temperature in traffic.

But will a bad thermostat give such issue because at constant drive or speed it doesnt give such issue?

My observation so far

I feel a good car ac should trip and start at intervals. But not within seconds. Thats the work of the thermostat. If your car is not overheating, no much problem, you may have a faulty ac thermostat. And as per rpm increasing, there should be a slight change in the level when your ac goes off, but it should not be that noticeable

Eazilyfe:
Abeg wetin fit make AC dey blow well when you dey drive on constant speed and also blow well when you just on am at idle. But if you leave am at idle for long e go start dey trip off and on within seconds

Same thing if you have been enjoying the AC and you immediately stop at a 5mins traffic it will start raising and dropping engine RPM.

New condenser bought, Radiator fan working, new expansion valve.

At what Price is it going ?

DEGREE2466:
Indrive na scam. See this request now. The rider said he or she isn't ready yet and I couldn't cancel the ride with rider didn't show despite staying over 5 minutes at the pickup point until I chose another option and they scammed me of my 700 naira.

I lost my fuel, time, and still lost money join. These app companies are fraudulent and scam

She hid her phone number and refused to pick my inapp calls and this is at Tejuosho market, meaning that's she's actively still shopping while booking a ride

If you did not click start ride, the money will be refunded back in 24hrs. Lol

2 nights work.
Fuel-25k
Indrive-11k
Income= 57k

The e-cmr is a new document, and it seems it has not gained traction and probably there are still some dispute on it. But if you are in lagos and do ehailing, you may never be asked to provide your documents once they know you are uber. Am somehow sure that uber/bolt and indrive they settle them somehow. Really i have never been stopped for documents. But if you plan traveling inter-state, its better to just be on the safe side. The type of car and your poise matters. E get how police go see you hen, na oga anything for us dem go they ask.

Omoapena:
I travel most of the time and I've never been asked for this, I wouldn't advise anyone to get the CMR since police aren't taking it that serious anymore...

True, but i dont trust those ore/benin police, na just 6k , so i prefer having it than stories.

For peace of mind, have the following
Police cmr if you do interstate
Proof of ownership
Road worthiness
Liscence renewal
Insurance
Plate number allocation

Be sure you dont give them change of ownership else, they would ask for police report and aviddafit.
Also tint permit if your car is tinted else,, the would love to milk you dry

Do this and have small peace

When you start ehailing, if your car is not in next to perfect condition, you will spend money on repairs till you get to a point and its all good, but usually by then, you loose interest and quit the hussle, only to sell off the car when all has been fixed to your mechanic. Lol. Kazeem sabi give that kind advice well well.
Maintenance and buying of original parts is the key, but if you like mainland trips, na oyo you dey, you go fix car tire.

Now, let me share some things about this cameras with you guys,
1) The cameras are not on all spots on the bridge, so atimes you may go as high a 100km/h and not get booked, if you look slightly up, you may notice the cameras where they are placed, but i dont do above 75km/h cause of marginal errors.

2) There is need to understand the difference between mph and km/h, usually most recent odometers, the miles per hour is boldly written while km/h has a smaller text. pls shine your eyes and dont mistake mph for km/h. na oyo you dey

3) sometimes the calibration of your odometer may be a liitle wrong, i have noticed that my car speedometer differs for what the maps says, so follow your car odometer with caution.

4) be careful not to focus too much on the speedometer, look up, only glance slightly at your odometer.

Speed limits-
Mobolaji Bank Anthony way -60km/h
Third mainland bridge- 80km/h
And avoid any one way as police now work with hoodlums to mislead unsuspecting drivers who are not familiar with the route, I know of mile 2 bridge. kindly use Google maps and your brain. They are out to milk us dry.

Pearl1910:
Everyday we replay the same mistakes companies like Kodak, Nokia, IBM, Motorola, Blackberry, 2go, Yahoo messenger etc made.
They all failed to adapt to prevailing changes. If u are adverse to change the world will leave u behind.
- U must be constantly looking for avenues to remain afloat in ur business.
- U must continually search for ways to deliver your product/services the way the customer wants it.
- U must look at your environment and design your business plan to model the reality around you not an utopian one.
- U must look at the future and anticipate how the market will change and position yourself to adapt to it. If u can't see the future, u must be flexible enough to quickly adopt the change.

If u fail to do all this, be ready to be relegated to d background and further into obscurity.

Ehailing is undergoing a major shift right now, and except you are doing it part time. Full-time drivers must begin to think fuel saving vehicles, Hybrids, EVs. U are using 2.4 litre engine and above, drop it and go and collect Moove or find a 1.2-1.6 litre engine and buy or take up as rental or HP.

As I speak, I am currently looking for a small car that I fancy, a hybrid car or going for an EV with minimum range of 300miles.
1.8litre engines like Corolla, Elantra and Civic are just scratching the borders of profitability these days. Take ur destiny in your hands and change what is within ur control, stop worrying about what u can't change.

Let them be playing and complaining about indrive and rida....moove is cashing out, what most riders need is a feeling of security in a car and being able to order a ride at any corner or any given time. More of indrive-like apps may come up in the future and the race gets more difficult

maklelemakukula:
AI told me so bro. I, a mere mortal, am not very knowledgeable in this field

Hahaha. Thats the user defined settings if communication Fails entirely

burnerr:
Good morning, please does anyone know what the configuration for growatt hope 5.5l-a1 on growatt spf 6000es? I keep getting error 04 and 20.

Its better you share pictures of the display.
Is there communication between your inverter and the battery, error 04 should be low battery though..... Follow the advice given on setting up protocol 05, and make sure the communication cable is connected correctly, i mean. There is a particular end that goes to the inverter and battery, if interchanged, it wont connect. Hope this helps a little.

The breaker should not just trip like that, if it did, it means that the amp that flowed through it was higher. Whats your panel configuration and spec so you get the appropriate breakers

You are a gentle man with your response, thats great. Many who commented dont own a bicycle though. Now everyone is crazy about corolla(cocaine) which they can get for 4.5-3m. so there isnt that demand for golf. Cant get much off this car. but who knows, there is always someone out there. Peace.

THIS OLD CAR!!!! ALL THE BEST BRO

ShitStain:
I’m considering it, I get about 290miles in full tank with occasional AC usage, I don’t know if that’s Economical enough for the business

Assuming your full litre is 60l

Thats 1litres=7.7km
1km cost= N143
I cant say much to you o. Let the calculations speak. If you run on ac full time, these figures will change. For me it may not worth it except you target surge.

pls is 2005 toyota yaris good for uber.

Pls, gurus, am about to buy a manual honda 2005 civic with vtec engine. Pls candid advice is urgently needed. All gurus pls help.
