So people go to eatries, buy food of 3 thousand naira and snap the receipt in the hope that they one day have a chance to post it online

Poverty is a disease that not even education can heal

The guy don sell one property recently.

Larry1960:




Fool like you instead of me to bill am I rather sell more of properties . Can't stoop to such level. The guy is indebted but me I no dey indebted to anyone so inside me and this guy who go bill each other
Idiot like you if you see the debt the guy is paying now you no go they cap Nonsense here
Go and see how folks over there their people in Naija still dey send them money over there

Your own na to sell properties you claim were bequeathed to you. If the people who bequeathed those properties were selling them as you are selling them now, you no go see any property to sell. Instead of you to find way to hustle, you dey snap plate of rice and chicken and contemplate which of the property you go sell. At this rate of your selling, your kids ain't gonna inherit anything from their profligate father.

Nwanne, nobody is cheering anybody on. Rather it is a thing of concern so much effort was put in for nothing. You may have your ways. But while showing your earnings, also show your troubles. Maintenance, fuel, lastma sorting, commisions. It helps balance things out. No one can claim he drives month to month here without having issues to visit the mechanic. So make we dey chill sometimes. Everything no be fight.

JUNE GROSS EARN with 130k fuel

Net shows 184,366
Subtract fuel 130,000
= 54,000 for the whole month

And yet to deduct:
data of 6k,
call airtime of 5k,
mechanic work of 32k,
tyre gauging of 3k5 in total etc

No profit
I only worked for bolt and fuel station😪😔

This is a truthful summary of what most e-hailing drivers face. You can't come here claiming u made millions without your vehicle suffering for it. If other drivers were as concise as this, it will enable people know how profitable the business is. But if you just tell people the millions you make without the challenges and setbacks you go through, there will still be doubters.

Now, for those who don't understand my salary earners post yesterday....

This thread has been a compendium of events since 2016. When this thread started, fuel was being sold at 87naira and uber driving was considered a lowly and shitty job by salary earners.

Fast-forward to 2021 when I started asking salary earners to leave their stupid jobs if they were earning 200k and below and pick a car and start driving. There were a lot of back and forth with insults of course. It's all in my posts.

Now, fuel is at least 488 per liter. Guess who'll be hit the most? Salary earners. I'm just here to remind them because the argument rages on. I don't care what you say. Salary earners are fucked_. As a driver I can comfortably continue my life by jacking up prices. When I started the shout, few people took me serious. Now they have been prepared for this moment.

If you think I'm making fun of salary earners, you're right. It's their turn. We've endured their shit_ on this thread for far too long. I'm not seeing epistles on promotions and bonuses. They are all useless. Guess what? More increments are coming. Wait for inflation to hit properly. My posts will always be here to say I TOLD YOU so.

I have no regrets, no remorse. My words are mine as they have always been. I'll say what I want whether e sweet you or not. If e pain you, e dey sweet me....

Yesterday I bought fuel 15k. 10% of your monthly salary. I grossed 45k 30% of your monthly salary. Fuel is above half tank. Am I affected? No fucking_ way. No complains. Those are the consequences of your bad decisions and I'll be here to always remind you.

I read this your long tirade of Bullshit and I just shook my head. Are u against salary earners on all levels or are you looking down on those at #200k? Do you know a lot of salary earners have discovered long ago that their is a need to add a side hustle to their gig and have done so? The present economic realities will make others who haven't done so wake up. Some salary owners own the cars many uber drivers drive on both rental and HP. Some own shuttle buses, keke and even bikes. Some have shops that they run businesses too. Even some do this e-hailing to and fro work and do it very well on the weekends. Many sef will be forced to do it this period of hardship thereby limiting passengers for people like you. Instead of you to do you and be quiet, you are busy trying to run down another set of people who are already strategizing on how to beat the economic hardship.
I am a salary earner. I once ventured into e-hailing part time last year with my car during a few weekends. My bolt and indrive account is active even though my last ride was in first week of January. I am in uber and bolt Facebook groups and I see how drivers cry there. Small problems to their cars and many of them will be begging for assistance. Many of them driving don't have a kobo in their account. You see them begging for wheel spanner on Facebook forum, begging for side mirror, even wheel hub and bearings. So stop talking as if it is rosy for drivers. Many of them have even parked their cars because it is obvious the future of this e-hailing is very very bleak. People who used to use bolt and co are now entering buses because the economic effect of this fuel increase is already affecting them. If passengers have reduced, who will drivers carry? Ghost?
So bro, focus on doing your thing and pray for the economy to get better for everyone cause if it gets better, it will favour you and others and not casting unnecessary aspersions where it isn't needed.

Kazeem sef go fear to touch this one if e get issues.

CheerfulGiver:
How can I make you look more stupid than you've already made yourself? You're like a joke that writes itself.

I'm only replying you because I'm at the carwash and I have time to play. You're that worthless. If you were on fire, I would never use my precious piss to put out the fire to save your life. If I was to choose between your usefulness and a bag of chicken shit_, I'll gladly carry the bag of shit_ and put in in my front seat. At least it will serve as manure. Look the goat, so happy I have replied him for the first time since September 2022. Joy in his heart. He actually said he has been waiting for this day to come. Just look at a man that was born and they did child dedication for.

You're totally worthless and irrelevant.

Where is BAZ001 and those his funny memes?

TheModerator:

Yes, I know you and I'm going to expose you further and bring you to your knees. Ayobo boy, I have been waiting for this time to come.

I asked you to provide a screenshot of the car you presently drive in other to corroborate your story and make the fools that follow you know that you are true and honest. Make me look stupid bro. Instead you are here throwing insults at me, as if they touch me or I really care much about them. I just find your response funny.

With the way you were vituperating and masturbating on this issue earlier, you really deserve all the insults he heaped upon you. How can you hate someone you don't know on a faceless forum and wish the person so much evil? Mehn, you deserve more than those curses.
If u like write epistle, I won't reply you.

dav1002:
As a car owner with two cars, using one for the hustle and been among the silent readers association on nairaland
Joined a telegram group here to learn how to increase my earnings by a veteran here who many folks look up to and mentors
After some months in the hustle, saw a post from someone in the telegram group looking for a rental. The telegram group being a closed forum with like minds I posted also that I have a car lying idle and up for rental.
In my thinking I could use it to earn extra income through rentals
So the person dm'd me and we agreed for 30k weekly because from his posts he nets huge and puts in the time so I thought he is ideal for the position
We met signed all relevant document and the car was given. After months I discovered this person was the same person that created this telegram group but used an alternate line to strike this rental deal. Inotherwords he has two numbers on the platform. That means I've been partnering with my mentor 😢

If he has been fulfilling his end of the deal, I don't see why you brought this here.
If not, @CheerfulGiver, come and defend yourself oo.

Good morning my people, abeg help my life I don put 5 direct tokunbo (engine lose) alternator inside my Honda Civic 06 and everything dey do overcharging ( if it's working without loading it the battery light on dashboard will show,but if I load it with headlight,ac, harzad light and radio after 20 to25 mins the light go off) and my present one is going under charging in sense that it works normal during the day even with AC but once I on headlight plus the AC at night it stops charging . Pls what could be the problem and is the a rewire that can help me around Abule Egba axis. Pls help a brother.

@jceesquare, this brother is close you

Felicity001:


Some years ago you discussed about coding and all that. Don't tell me you have totally left that profitable venture and have been chasing instant peanuts that will not build you a good future and lifestyle.

Most Uber drivers have been shadowed with the poor thinking mindset. Let me just do this and not die, feed myself and family, their brains cells have been plated with short time goal, so they just want to survive for the now and careless about tomorrow... A myopic mindset.

Free your self from this myopic and menial earnings and start thinking of a long term goal that will better your life and that of your loves once.

Uber business will only earn you a plate of food but not a bag of food that will last you a life time. Uber earning will destroy your health, social life, family love and most of all distract you from attaining your goals in life because it won't give you time to think straight or see the big picture or any opportunity even if it's right in front of you. All you'll be thinking is how to satisfy your partner so he/she doesn't withdraws his car from you, how to put food in the table for your kids and wife, and how to meet up with your HP and own the car you're currently driving but you easily forget the same car is dying up due to its every day stress and minimal maintenance.

The people that suffers most in this Uber business are the married men with kids and wife to look after. Like have you ever seat down to think that one day accident might just occur? You might list any part of your body if your lucky and if you're not lucky your life? Who will take care of your live once when you're gone? Uber? Or Bolt?

Take time now and start building a small business even if it's a POS or engine Oil or generator oil business. Or spare part business.
Get a little shop, container shop, 40-60k buy some fire extinguishers, Nuts, spinner, screw drivers, okada engine oil and all that... This business will kick off with 200-500k. You that have an educative skills, develop more in it, go for more training, webminer, seminars and workshops. Meet people of like mind and build on your career do this vigorously for 1-3yrs I assure you will feel irritated like I do each time I come here reading comments because the comments are annoying.

Uber work no be arm oooh... The other day I asked how these of our old grandpas here ...lol... Do it and some of them say... Grace. My brother no be grace ooh... Your mentality has been washed to believe ehailing is the best thing after slice bread.

I looked at my daughter one day and I thought, so this girl I gave birth to in 2020 now get to 8yrs and her mates in school ask her what does your dad does for a living she will say what? My daddy is an Uber driver? God forbid. Na that day I started dropping the job.

Thank God for thief in January 1st that stole my phone, he also contributed in cementing my decision.

The truth might be bitter for a whole lot of people to swallow. This here is the hard truth. No matter how you try to deny it, in your quiet moments, you will reflect and agree this is it.

I doff my heart for u bro.
You do this one

buygala:



So you think it was the defective fan that stored the error code in ECU..

You are right Sir

Pray tell, what else could have?

buygala:


Make op use high end scanner clear error codes after replacing im car radiator fan?


Bros abeg which code dey show for scanner if car radiator fan no good?

Bro, calm down naa.
Last December, my car was throwing up P2185 for the ECT sensor 2 at the radiator and when scanning, it was showing me a cooling error at my engine. Luckily I had another ECT sensor I bought which I have not used. I called this rewire guy and we changed it, yet error code refused to clear. I fixed the old back and the code remained. I emptied my radiator and changed coolant, same issue.I was having drivability issues as my engine bay was vibrating a low speeds with AC on and at such periods, my RPM keeps dropping. One day, I was in traffic and I saw my temp rising, I switched off the Ac and called my mech. He asked me to bring the car in. All these while, he has been asking me to bring it but no time. I went straight to his place. I started the car and immediately they observed one of my fans wasn't working. I bought a new fan. Immediately it was fixed, I scanned the car there and that error code cleared. I have not had that code again.

Nemesisobaara:


Omo! This is the reason I have not changed my Rx350 gear oil. After buying the WS gear oil, I have kept it in my car boot for a month now. A lot of our mechanic don't know anything and I don't want somebody to put holes in my pocket by messing up my transmission...🙄🙄🙄

Read your car manual. It should tell you the procedure for changing your transmission fluid and the quantity needed. With this you can monitor what your technician is doing and call his attention when he is doing something contrary to the manual. When is changed my transmission oil for my car july last year, my mechanic was arguing that I needed 5 liters or it won't gauge while my manual says 4.2 liters. We argued and I stood my ground. He says na 5 liters him dey put for others with my car brand, I said no. After he put whT I asked him to put and gauged it, it was correct. The remaining trans fluid dey my boot. So read your car manual and guide your mechani accordingly.

Honda Accord vibrations

Let me try to explain this issue.

Car drives well.

However, when I apply the break and the gear on DRIVE, rpm goes to 500 while the bonnet vibrates....that is engine vibrations.

If I turtle just a bit let's say rpm increases to 700 vibrations stop and further drive is excellent.

Car idle smoothly in PARK around 700-800 rpm.

Please note that all engine mount are in top shape.

Car is Honda Accord 2007.

My question.

1. Why this vibrations?

2. Rpm is not low on idle ( car in Park)
If rpm is low, can it be adjusted in Honda Accord 2007?

It is a puzzle that has remained unsolved.

Kindly help me.

Codes

P0141

P02185.

I don't think they have anything to do with the vibrations.

P0141 is for downstream oxygen sensor. It's just for Cat monitoring and emissions.

P02185 is for the second ECT sensor at the radiator.

I am not an engineer but I had a similar problem December last year. Turned out one of my fans were not working and hence when I am in traffic and moving slow,with the air-conditioner on, I experienced heavy vibrations and the RPM drops to about 500. But when I am on the highway without restriction, no vibration and my RPM climbs to the normal 750 to 850. Immediately I changed that fan, it became normal. So you might want to also check out your fans.

SamuelTaiw0:


It's me you came here to monitor. If you suddenly drop down dead now, they'll say they don't know who you offended. Ogun still dey carry blood Bath o. And you blood go sweet wella. just carry mouth comot for my Mata. Because if you continue like this you fit die anyhow.

Chai, because of wetin I talk, e-hailing consultant never reply this person. No vex consultant.

Keep calm. The guru's will soon be here to adequately attend to you.

SamuelTaiw0:


That guy is an id!ot!

I'm not ready to start doing any shalaye because it's not the point. If I know something, I see no one has answered and I make my own contribution is it a crime?

If he has nothing to say he should keep quiet but coming to taint my image by painting an evil picture of what he knows nothing about is what Ogun will kill him for! Mad man

All that happened is well recorded on this thread, how I got the car, how it gave me issues from day 1, how I borrowed money to spend on it, how I paid for one way offence, how I returned the car because I was tired of it and didn't press to have it back because I was still well within the terms of agreement. It's still on this thread. One fuul now came here and be saying trash... I repeat, if Ogun does not kill him if he doesn't respect himself, no be Yoruba Man I be!

I don't know him from anywhere but if he thinks the demons living inside him wants to make him unfortunate, he should make rubbish comments about me again. Mad man

Add sango and obatala too. Not just Ogun. Nothing will happen. Who yoruba man wey u be help. Ogbeni, focus. Small play you dey threaten say if one derelict god no kill person, no be yoruba man wey u be. Na you that your ogun been dey target sef with all that ur plenty accident. Thank God u droped that car. See the kind human being wey dey give hot takes upandan. Fetish being. Small cruise you dey call your village god name. Nonsense.

My bosses I greet ona ohh.. Please I need ona wisdom here, for some months now I've been looking for a car to use on ehailing for hire purchase.. I finally found one, toks grade but it's a Lexus ES330 2006 model, to pay 3M. Is this a good deal? Do you think I can meet up considering the cost of fuel and consumption rate by the car? I plan on paying 500K down payment to lessen the burden on me. I'm at Port Harcourt currently... Please advise ����

Chai, because of wetin I talk, e-hailing consultant never reply this person. No vex consultant.

SamuelTaiw0:


LoL

Silence is the best answer for a fuul

U suppose dey keep quiet if people dey seek for advice here. Small thing u Don run chook mouth like say u be pro. I do e-hailing sparingly. Infact since first week of October, I never open any of my e-hailing apps. But you wey nearly kill yourself, your partner, aboki bike man and nearly destroy the motor just dey give hot takes upandan. Baba, calm down and allow those that are constantly on the road to give advice. Na read I dey read here. Work closes for the year next Thursday and I have done every servicing and fixing I need to do on my car. I might just decide to hit the road once more cause I have a three weeks break. For now I just dey read, admire the hustlers and motivate myself.

SamuelTaiw0:


IMO, your best option is between the Acura TL of the S40.

But wait, are you being dashed or its on HP?

This one wey drive one week abi two, bash bash motor upandan, got arrested and all dey form e-hailing consultant for here.
Abegi!!

happiness4ever:
No my brother, The engine get problem so I said let me come down and check it.... Then I park na so they carry my motor enter thier office....

This is madness. Lagos state government no dey try at all. What happened to them rendering help to you and helping you get off the road? did u knowingly spoil your car?
Haba.

happiness4ever:
Please my vehicle has just arrested by lasma, I have been told to pay 70k.... Please senior men how do I get out of this mess

Na wa.

Did u take one way?

Viking07:
Its only on Nairaland drivers supposedly make millions monthly. The real reality is only seen outside this forum in different Facebook, WhatsApp and telegram groups. Everyday, people are lamenting about how ridiculous the price of bolt/Uber is. Your car go spoil, you go dey find different loans to take fix up. This morning someone in a group sent me a dm asking me to borrow him 7000 naira to buy engine oil.


In fact as I type this we are currently lamenting on a WhatsApp group. Bolt prices have remained unchanged for years despite the over 200% inflation in this shithole. I’m yet to understand why there are so much deceit on this thread/page while in reality 99% of these guys are surviving on loans. Infact most of them don’t even own the cars they use despite driving for years. They are on what they call remittance. Where they pay weekly to the owner.

Now ask yourself if the hustle is so good. Why is it that majority don’t own a vehicle? Why does most of them look so haggard when you see them on the street? My brother, this hustle is a scam. You only enjoy it as a side gig. The greatest mistake you’ll ever make is resigning from that your job.

If you like fall for all the million dashboard. The dashboard doesn’t show you fuel and other expensive maintenance they do monthly.

Now that you’ve made me type this epistle. Kindly credit my access bank account with 10,000 only. Thank you.

You see that your last screenshot, that is the reason to even do bolt as side gig dey tyre me. I have done it a few times but since two months now, i never try am. Luckily na my car. U go see person wey no get tire go dey tell you to on AC for her, dey tell u lower that music. Shet!!!

easytig:
U can try study Google maps,for e.g type watchtower street in Google map,you will see one line with arrow ,it implies one way,if you type morroco road,you will see two lines which means normal road.just take your time and study various areas, with time you will blend.also try and use your navigation.

Thanks

Na so, you represented us well.
I went to okokomaiko the other day, on my way back trying to connect Igbo elerin road they said I did one way.
I was just shocked because I saw bikes, korokpe and danfos passing even as they blocked me.
Before you know it one of the touts in mofti tried to open my door I jejely central locked in his presence, they kept telling me to wind down I was like can't you stop the other guys?
Since they didn't want to let me go I put reverse and came with full speed the foolish guy put the spike and run I climbed it because I will prefer to go buy another tire than dash one useless tout in uniform money fortunately for me nothing happened to any of my tire.
Same day at igando I parked in front of one plaza just after the walk way before you know it some useless touts in uniform just appeared from nowhere and was telling me I did wrong parking I tried explaining to them that I only wanted get food at an eatery just some blocks away, they started asking me useless question like have I been cautioned before bla bla bla.
Since already knew where they are headed I jump into my car and my rider was still with them trying to beg I told him to enter the car or leave him thier and jaa.
As soon as he got into the car I sped off and join the last lane, they were beckoning on someone who seems to be thier boss or superior.
That one came to my side since there was traffic and slow movement hitting my car I didn't even do as if anybody was there, that was how I turn to ikotun road and jaa again.

I am sure Feli will be proud of me

At that okoko route, those korope and their union have gone to latsma office to settle them. That's why they turn a blind eye to them. But any private car that follows them is in soup.
