The last person wey talk this nonsense. Na later I see am dey celebrate 40 years birthday. You're very correct. I will be 26 this year according to another person

Enjoy your old age

Being young isn't an excuse for being daft. You should be taking up responsibilities at this age.

This same "young and restless" plus childish mentality is.the reason you wrecked a car that was kept in your custody. It clearly shows that you still can't take care of yourself as an individual which is saddening for a 26 year old. Your sense of judgement is still very much below par, that in itself underscores why you became an unsung spokesman on nairaland for an overwhelmingly underperforming president. Everyone that addressed you here couldn't have been wrong. You made yourself a tool to be used here by the foolish way you have been rooting for a man that is suffocating Nigerians.

Amend your ways bro and change for good. These politicians don't know you exist, except when they need knuckle-heads like you for propaganda. If they cared so much, you wouldn't be looking for a car to drive on rentals - it also shows that things haven't levelled up for you in terms of finance. But it isn't that bad because you are still young. So, if you want to be counted ten years from now, you need to wake up and start thinking straight. Otherwise, you may end up becoming abysmal if you choose to remain crooked with your sense of reasoning. A word is enough for the wise.

Intergrated:
finally the oil pump started leaking seriously had to change it and same thing happened. Just confused.

You may have bought a faulty gear. Revert back to the dealer if he would listen. I'm afraid it's back to square one if an imminent solution hasn't been found, you may have to buy another gear.

If their service are adjudged legal by a law court, then DStv is certainly in trouble. Lol. What people are getting fed with by SLTV, is just an individual DStv subscription that the individual have decided to commercialize. Certainly won't be a good viewing experience, there will be a great deal of delays and breaks especially when live events are being aired.

And what's this about airing from YouTube?! Lol. Another joke in itself. I won't be carried away just yet. They won't last.

Please respect hip-hop music the next time you post anything. Have some respect for artistic legacies especially when you have none yourself. There's no such thing as "outdated hip-hop music. In these age and era of wack music, some of us still listen to music of way back, 90s to 2010 remains the pinnacle of music, especially rap. We will bang 'em 4ever. Not everyone is a fan of Davido and Portable.

Conner44:


Yes my little sis. At her house in their bath I saw it there. The smell alone I fall in love. Papaya. I will never forget. Its the first and last time I witnessed what they call bleaching. It was mistakenly because I didn't know. Just 2 weeks oga my face begin peel

Same Papaya that works well for your own skin? me highest vaseline or pears cocoa I use, most times I don't. For soap it's all those Eva variations I like using. Before it was imperial lather.

So na Papaya make your face be like that? The way that your face take black, I've always suspected that a type of chemical was responsible. Mama no fit born pikin black like that.

E sure me die say some particles of that papaya chemical entered your head through your nose. Hence why you are very erratic and loquacious. What we are witnessing here is chimical reaction of papaya vituperating through your mouth.

Glithronix:
How could you call yourself a Bolt/Uber driver and be dressing like an agbero
Shame no dey catch some of una ni?
Is it that some of una no get dress sense ni abi una no see anybody to tell una say your dressing is irritating?
And some of you look unkempt and will be sweating like asun goat when it was alive.
And some with depressed facial expression and lacking confidence.
Una need orientation?
Meehhhhnnn.

For real? Don't you sweat when you are driving under this hot weather? Abi, na all the time you leave your AC blazing while waiting for your riders?

Driving and dress sense is a pure mismatch. It doesn't even make sense or correlate considering the nature of job. So long as a car is neat, driver is not smelling, it's all well and good. Just stack your paper and stop talking about fashion. The job doesn't warrant it.

Muhammadson2020:


Car don cost my brother: No new drivers are onboarding on Bolt again. Corolla 5 million Naira Big daddy 7 million Naira, Who go carry that kind money go invest on Ehailing. Besides most people can't afford cars like before. And many drivers and partners are withdrawing from hustle and selling off their cars. Bolt no get choice than to unblock their previous drivers as they are witnessing mass reduction of drivers availability on their platform. To own a Car in Nigeria now is a Goldmine or treasure. If you get one, do not abuse it, buying another one is very expensive, except you wan to settle for Naija used cars which is not too cool for the hustle but also relatively expensive compared to how much car was sold years ago.

Nigeria will soon become Cuba where new cars are forbidden with all these prices I'm seeing for very old cars.

Though Cuba found themselves in that situation due to embargo and restrictions placed on that country for decades. In the case of Nigeria, self-destruction courtesy of wicked and self centered politicians. One slowpoke will wake up one morning and become president/governor or law maker. We are literally paying heavily for it in all facets of life.

Omoapena:


If I were him, I will hire someone, and open laundry mart business while I oversee the management, and my employee will do the washing.

I will try to have at least 5 washing machine and a generator that can power all with a self service option for those who prefer to do the laundry themselves...


Bolt/Uber can only sustain your feedings and basic things, it can't give you comfort life, this hustle isn't supposed to be taken as a full time job, as a family man doing this business, you will find it difficult to move forward, you will just be stuck in a spot and the moment your car starts developing issues, you will realize you have been working from hand to mouth...

You've given him a great idea depending on his location. He can even add one or two retail services in that same shop where he has the laundry mart.

Jumping and pumping 5mil into an Uber business you are not even sure you can stand the intense physical and psychological exertion is a very bad move. It's not as if there's a breather in form of a break even point in the end.

Kunle56:
Please can I start Uber with 5M and what should I be expecting monthly, I really need advice as a fresh graduate

Please broaden your spectrum. The moment you make the mistake of investing your 5m into this business, you are stuck in this dead end trap for the next 5/6years of your life. You wouldn't want to get out anymore because you want to recoup your investment and make profit, that day may never come eventually.

Look away from this place as fast as you can. You can do.better in the next 2/3years by investing one third of that money in some other ventures apart from Uber. Look around your hood, there will always be something there for you to do.

PS: Only get involved in this business if you have a car laying fallow that you need to temporarily use for this, otherwise flee with yout money as fast as you can.

Azazyel:



Omo na true you talk o. They want to claim Delta state. In recent years I started seeing lots of people with Igbo names claiming they are from Delta state and I'll be like wtf is going on here? Delta that I know is nothing close to Igbo. Infact they have imported Igbo cultural practices and marriage rites and requirements are now totally far from original Delta. Before you know it, they would start agitation for separation from other parts of Delta state

Don't say what you don't know

This is why the war against insurgency and terrorism may never be won in this country. Nigerian Army needed not to have lied. I'm sure ESN will be laughing out loudly.

[quote author=pope191 post=128629657][/quote]

Most of you don't understand simple English. I'm being forced to reply you because you are accepting the cheers when you know you totally goofed. Every proper lagosian knows where to point to at the mention of Okesuna and that's the one in Lagos Island. That's a very popular street that every boy that grew up in this city knows. It doesn't change the fact that there may be other streets called Okesuna in Lagos. There's another one in Agege. As someone whose mind is working and who claims to be a hustler, you should know what to do when driving to a rider's destination as generally, they don't always indicate their actual destination because of ignorance. Accept responsibility and do better the next time you are out there.

Cheers.

PS: I won't reply you again on this.

Conner44:
Shame don plaster the yeye troll mouth since yesterday afternoon Even to show face here don hard am

Well, i never expected less. Person wey dey discuss and converse with himself, that one no be yaba-left patient him be?

But wait oh, so na the highest you fit do be that? To be photographer wey dey post pictures?

Hahaha, at least my gaysm is to speak the truth and expose lies. I'm a honest crusader, unlike you that is forever jumping on another man's dick, openly here because of dashboard and money. Twerking openly so that he can rub money on your ass . Unfortunately, he needs to pay his rent in ayobo aka chevron drive. All your effort was in vain

Conner44:


Hahaha 😆 we don see you finish.

You no wan post my pic again? Post am na? If dem ban this moniker highest you activate the snoopy one lol

Cameraman wey no get brain

God forbid say I post your pictures again. The virus and JuJu wey dey for your face no be here. Had to buy a new phone, the virus couldn't be wiped out

Conner44:

Haha , I was on my way coming. Unfortunately na Pope I order. I slept off in the course of the trip. When I wake up na, na Berger junction I see myself instead of Ajegunle Primary school wey.be the venue of your wedding. No worry, I have booked another ride coming to the reception venue at the brothel in okkokomiko.

But this your paddy try sef, en no be like your other paddy for chevron drive wey do wedding for Epe Magistrate court on a Tuesday, no drinks, no reception, nothing.

pope191:


As I deh see you like this, you no go ever follow them go December village again. Transport fee to come back Lagos come humble you. Shey your body go still deh use to Lagos like this 😂

You wey dey use to Lagos that doesn't know that there's only one major street called Okesuna in Lagos. Carry rider wey dey go Lagos Island go Shomolu on Christmas day oo. Backward hustling. For this unprofessional and inexcusable act, I hope you know you should have given the rider some money for making her to pay more from Shomolu to Okesuna?

If it were Uber back in the days that they use to reign supreme, your account would have been blocked for this.

Dignifying your comment with a dope classic from a dope MC. It hurts actually.

Conner44:
TheModerator login the snoopy account na. I know they've banned both this one and the other Halahhalah one.

Login that snoopy own and come to post your usual ish everyone here already knows its you so no need to still be keeping it on ice at a time like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVgxMldA2Fo

Halahhalah:

You have come again quoting me, that cho cho cho will start thinking you're quoting yourself

Seems I'll leave him to his Kolomental since he think I AM YOU.

Lol. I don't reckon with anything he says. I must be that much of a genius to be able to quote myself at the same time, even when we were not having the same opinion. Corner44 is not a very smart person to understand that. That's why he's the biggest town cryer of a business he has never done, drooling just because he was flashed with dashboard.

Halahhalah:


Adeyemo Adegbuega Akin

Watch it, don't get roasted.

On a serious note, it's hard to believe that this face can wreck a car in three weeks, this picture may have vindicated him. Either he was given a really bad car or he's probably very naive and inexperienced with automobiles. I will go with the later judging by his looks

But Don looks gentle sha, he no be like corner44 that has the face of a vulture drenched by rain. But I just can't understand why a young man like Don will find joy in clapping for an old cargo that is leading the country to ruination.

I'd suggest you delete sha. Na my person you be.

Conner44:


Don't forget about the other sad troll who was actively forcing him to collect the car too because he thought that dav1002's driver was CheerfulGiver 😆

That's how he was busy talking to himself a few pages ago, imagine one person mentioning and quoting himself and having conversations with his alternate monikers just for fun

Comedy

Ewu spokesman. As confused and foolish as Dav1002 may have been, Cheerfulgiver remains the person that drove his car to death.

The grand schemer only used the faceless nature of this place to confuse Dav1002 who is still very much confused, not knowing the identity of the person he gave his car.

Y1nka:





See as stray bullet touch me.
Moderator, u do this one

Lol. At least, you were honest and open unlike that woman wrapper and green eyed monster called Pope191. You actually deserve to be rewarded for being honest. I was only referring to Pope and her gang of jelaous women.

pope191:


Interesting to say you mention one that is not worth it, but pathetic to say you couldn’t mention one business that is worth it. Always on that pull it down syndrome. Pray your troubled soul find peace.

If your lazy brain cannot decipher business ideas around you, sorry I can't help. You have to pay me for that, it's not free.

The guy with four cars here started this business way after you, he has carved a niche for himself and found other ways of breaking even in the same transportation business that you are into. I'm sure you are one of those begging him to give you ideas about Indians. Again, I'm sorry, he won't.

You've been bitter because I addressed your witchcraft against felicity and took out most of your accomplices here. No apologies. Jokes on you.

dapotemi:

Are you really sure of this? I can't even step out of my house since morning because anywhere you turn to someone is asking you for financial help and it's already frustrating!!! I think we are at war, na only cutlass we never carry!

Truth is there's worldwide economic meltdown and inflation, though not to the level of Nigeria. It doesn't mean that businesses have stopped thriving People still cash out. The point I was trying to make is that it's not always greener on the other side. The picture being painted of Canada and all these other places is different from reality on ground.

northbird:


That's not true.. The western world gives you a fair playing ground than your home country especially if you have some level of education before leaving Nigeria.

The housing scenario in Canada is from the aftermaths of money laundering.. foreigners buy real estate in Canada with ill gotten wealth. This forces the prices upwards ditto for rentals.
Government of Canada has placed restrictions on foreigners buying property recently.

Driving Bolt shoud be a stop-gap.....

It's tough doing business in Nigeria.
Govt policies are not consistent.. look at the Agric play in Niger, govt is saying no trucks are allowed to buy in bulk anymore, though they might have a point in protecting the masses, but what about the investor (farmer ) who can only make profits by selling in Bulk ( most agric produce are perishable)... are they encouraging or discouraging production.?

Interesting but I have to laugh at the bolded. The idea of a fair playing ground is a myth. As a migrant, your access to many things are limited. Go there with a visitor's visa, try to work with it and see if you will have access to anything, not even a place to rent even if you have the money. Do you know how many Nigerians that are in shelters and makeshift houses in Canada? Need I mention those in basements? Where's the fair ground that you are talking about? They are barely living over there and are struggling to survive, take my word for it. Only those with PR and specialized skills live an average normal life. Same with UK. Don't even mention US lol.

As per doing business in Nigeria, it may seem hard but it all depends on the line of business you choose to go into. There are many businesses one can do here and get by. Bolt isn't even one of it. Why waste so much to get visa, travel out to live a mediocre life when you can invest the money in Nigeria and increase your worth within a couple of years? It doesn't make sense. Where are you running to when your country is not at war?

BAZ001:


Nigerian Politicians and billionaires children are here with us , why not keep them in Nigeria
They school and live abroad.
Bro I never imagined that I will ever relocate. Nigeria too sweet, but I was lucky to have a change of mind and escape this Tinubu regime.
What I have achieved in a short while I can’t or couldn’t have achieved it driving bolt.
I’ve seen people loose jobs in Nigeria and not able to get a new job for the past 13/15 years.
I’m not asking for too much just basics… leave a comfortable and progressive life not up today and down tomorrow.

Those billionaires, they made their money in Nigeria not through japa. So they can afford to send their kids out there to school. Their children accomodation and all other expenses are well funded from home. It's not the same with a poor man that will sell everything he has to travel out, especially those that get visa through school route with no sponsor, some go with their wife/husband and children (Suffering amplified).

If you don't have a special type of skill or a programme that gives you a permanent stay, forget it. Na another type of suffering you go meet for there. It's only a PR that is worth it. Anything other than that, you are better off doing Bolt or any other business in Nigeria and working your way up.

Like I said before, collectively, Nigeria failed us but it doesn't mean that people cannot rise up on individual basis to better themselves at home..

BAZ001:


Abeg who be Emilokan activist na
Omoapena Or Donbrowser26? To catch up no easy
Hey ! I dey here dey work, d more you work d more money you earn. I wan quick make money to buy house in lekki phase 1 as people dey sell house to feed and maintain status
Pls anybody that wants to jappa and other approach no work. use visiting move when you reach there begin change status , if u still single d better for you, u go just arrange get pali and dey make ur money with peace of mind.
Jappa don dey hard now imagine 15million na just $10k. How many uber drivers go fit buy ticket now
APC donbrowser emi lokan no get anything to offer. You can’t afford to waste 8 yrs of your life under that regime pls jappa life better here no let anybody deceive you.

I greet all of una comrades and veterans still moving Lagos in this hardship to feed family. God bless you all. How u guys do it I still don’t know but una dey do well.

Collectively, Nigeria is not redeemable as it stands. The curse of bad rudderless leadership and followers alike will not cease anytime soon. But, I do not agree that japa is the solution to self emancipation.

Y1nka:
Initially, I ignored most of these post cos na money I dey find not trouble. But I currently drive that CIVIC so here’s my take.



1: about the contract:

I’m assuming the contract was given before the car, thus why sign or accept conditions that you know you were not comfortable with when it’s not under duress?

Desperation breeds ill feelings like this.

For example, DjDamian included some clause In the agreement that I wasn’t comfortable with such as:

a- inspection distance

b- written permission for out of lagos trip.

c- Price


I checked this agreement for days, spoke to my person then got back to him about these 3, and after about a week and so, HE compromised.

I’m not praising him for the compromise or acting tough , I am just pointing out that this is business not favour, you are partners, so if you find anything missing or not necessary at the beginning of the partnership, your inability to point it out takes out your claim of victimization.

You could easily turn it down, or give a counter offer or condition.

Ignorance is not an excuse.





2- About the car:

Before picking up the car, I paid my mechanic to help check the vehicle . With this I know what to expect and what not (at least some of it).

Going blindly cos I was in a small issue and needed a personal car is buying problem for myself free of charge.

I have to Agree with oga Northbird or so on this, it takes an inexperienced driver to burn a gasket , or experience driver in a life threatening situation (such as car overheating while robbery is going on or anything fatal). But if your car temperature is working, and you are not in a tough situation, YOU can never burn your gasket. You never experience be that.

Before you say I’m capping.
Been driving for just 11 years and some months (21 years and now 32) over 8 different vehicles owned in this period, I’ve dealt with over heating many times yet I HAVE never BURNT. A gasket.


This Civic did overheat third day I picked it up, while driving ikeja to Iju road to deliver a customer phone. After I saw 3 extra bars and AC started blowing air only,I parked and turned car off. Reserve low but not dry, (obviously spotted it early).


Cause :
One fan was only working and I was in the Iju ishaga traffic. This car temperature over worked.

what I DID: , I rented battery waited till temperature was down, delayed till past 10 when traffic was free, so I can drive in moderate speed and use air from grill to blow th radiator , start and drove home..

(If there had been traffic along the road, pull over, park. Wait till temp cools down and traffic move a bit, then join and continue to do so, till you’re safely home) You’ll be fine

MAIN SOLUTION: fuse controlling second fan burnt, only cost 5k to fix fuse plus workmanship .

But it could have cost me more if I was so carried away or way more inexperienced.

No car would burn a gasket in seconds, it takes hours, days or sometimes weeks.

Incase it was bad before u picked it, you may have known by temperature always being in middle or slightly higher by a bar.


Did few repairs yes, but nothing major ,GEAR isn’t faulty yet, but sometimes delays to get to high speed between 65-100km+ . Doesn’t affect the driving initially but I keep preparing his mind that it needs to be checked. It could something minor or major. Regardless I’m aware on time and let him know even though it’s HP. Not when it happens I give story. I personally advice you must have own a car before taking someone else’s, so u know what to expect and what not. Cos even if it’s your, you will do repairs, but it just shouldn’t be pocket draining .





Lastly the Man Damian himself

3- Personality :


In my language , Money spoils friendship (faster).
I’ve never had issue with the “dreaded evil Damian “ (at least since first week of January till now cos I take care of what could first damage us- Money).

Before taking the agreement,

I prepared

1- His payment for one month ahead

2- miscellaneous repairs of up to 150k in savings.

3- then his initial deposit as requested.


This is to keep an arms length so we could both AVOID any issue that may arise from things like this.

I wanted a different car (perhaps cheaper) so I can pay faster cos Uber is not looking profitable for me, I go to work, and not sure part time bolt / Uber can run this payment. He was willing to compromise both payment or car type .




In other words, Damian is not holy , we all are humans, OmoApena too is not a devil, e no easy to be consistent.


But the relationship didn’t deserve to get sour based on these flimsy stuffs. Every business requires u to manage people first, before money. I think the fall off is from pure mismanagement of both.

OmoApena before God bless you this way, remember he used someone. And You will still hire to other people as well. Don’t burn the bridge u crossed.


DjDamian, life is by turn, regardless of how people make you feel, we are different and life sometimes will not revolve around our expectations.

I hope u both can move on from this cos last last, na both of una God don bless.

I don't mean to start anything, but I'd advise that you put your HP deal on hold and get that gear either fixed or replaced. The problem was an existing one before you picked up the car, the onus is on the car owner to get it fixed.

SOLVE this problem NOW. A stitch in time could save nine.

Halahhalah:


I never meant a bad can't go bad, but I said go SO bad.
Check out the listed problems, they are compounded problems.
Overheating might have been occurring before handing over the car to Don.

Even if issues were there, still boils down to negligence on the part of the driver. How can one drive a newly acquired Nigerian used car and trust it without constantly checking the coolant level and things related to it? How can it even overheat to the point of burning gasket if you have your eyes where it should be while driving. Less expensive fix could have solved it if driver was careful enough.

Halahhalah:


From Ola's posts, it's obvious he didn't get most funds from bolts. You must have read his posts concerning the Indians.

Obviously. Went out of his way to make it happen for himself. If he was too comfortable with Bolt, he probably wouldn't have achieved much. It's what determination can do, having your own blueprint. He doesn't need any Telegram to do it

pope191:


And the job is useless *smiles* I really suffered here for trying to help and bring hope about the hustle not being as demean as some folks here to put. But it’s all good, through it I understood a lot. Tot me how to face front and do my thing. All man with em personal race and cross. Nah wetin I learn b that. Obo

You didn't even hide it This your submission is coated with jealousy.

Congratulations Omoapena! Big up yourself.
