Now I feel like campaigning for Bolt to leave Nigeria, but who has time for that?

Again I still maintain, it takes a high degree of wickedness to deny people an income simply for not picking rides.

Funny how they don't care if you are sick, have medical bills, have important bills, feeding a child, struggling to feed... nothing

You didn't buy car for us, you collect 30%, then on top of that you block drivers for up to a year sometimes, for rejecting rides and then the icing on the cake, you dribble them when they contact customer service, gaslighting people into believing they requested for something (account deletion) which they never did - I mean the thread is there in the email for all to see and I never made any deletion request.

I just pray eventually everyone moves on from Bolt

They have this god complex men and move like demons.

Let them continue, their eyes go soon clear.
U no buy car for yet u want to be dictating for them
I don't know why Bolt is heartless oooo.

I was blocked for 30 days, I emailed them for help and they couldn't even solve the problem and now were saying my account has been deleted, lol. Account is still active, so I'm wondering where this came from. App blocks you, customer support is wrongly saying they have deleted account, chai.

How is it that Bolt is so heartless like this?

Anyways I am moving to Uber and Indrive next week.

Imagine people in their office laughing as someone could possibly be dying due to lack of funds and all over what? Rejecting ride requests?

Honestly Bolt should not exist, they have been extremely wicked to their drivers, extremely wicked.

Djdamian:
Do they have a separate or special price that is different from regular mechanized vehicles?

Did you take into account the lead time for charging the battery and the total distance it can cover?

Do you really understand the purpose of EVs? They are not meant to be a cheaper option to engine vehicles but a cleaner and eco friendly alternative.

Are you also aware that EVs have suspension parts just like regular mechanized vehicles?

Are ride hailing companies pushing drivers to switch to EVs?

In my view, the main problem lies with the ride hailing companies and their modus operandi, not the type of vehicle being used.

That is just my humble opinion.
Bro EVs are the cheapest to run of all cars right now. Maybe besides hydrogen, but not sure.


The only problem with EVs is high price barrier to entry and maybe battery lifespan.

As far as cost to run, bruv don’t even go near EVs. DONT!

Ex, while in traffic, your ICE constantly spraying petrol through the injectors, while an EV in traffic consumes almost ZERO battery power, with electronics and maybe AC being the only power consumers at the time.

Secondly, you don’t have to change engine oils, engine filters, spark plugs, injectors, plugs…

Then electricity is cheaper than petrol. Petrol per liter is N900, while 1kwh cost N200. A typical Corolla might go about 8km per it 1 liter of fuel on average, while an EV might go about 6 km per kWh.

Lastly, if you ever made a huge investment in Solar panels, then you can get free passive charging once in a while.

lol 😆 bolt is a crazy nasty app, imagine they keep sending you long pick up for a 2500 trip and they expect me not to cancel, bolt Is a joke
Like bruv!

My own is their wickedness to block a MANS means of income.

Like they already have the indrive type of “fastest fingers”, where you’d see “ride accepted by another driver”

So why take away a man’s income just like that?

I remember 2 years ago when they blocked me for 1 full year after the 7 days ban.

Like 1 year?

I emailed and emailed, tweeted, but they were so cold. Honestly it is God, my Jesus that found my dirty vaselinecrew self worthy to get another gig then, even though it was temporary, but it paid well and took me out of depression.

I still don’t get it, like, even if it is 10k a day I do, don’t they still collect their 30%?

So if not wickedness, why block me for 1 year? It’s not a business savvy move, cause I was still producing money for the app.

I came to the conclusion that they are just terribly wicked.

They have this god complex in Africa it seems, and they seem to revel in schadenfreude, watching the collapse of drivers income at the snap of their fingers.

FYI, I didn’t used to do offline (tried once or twice and my conscience kicked in), I used to have mints in my car (variety; tom-tom, Vicks, mentos… in the middle armrest cupholder), I had a dashcam for safety… in short I used to be so professional.

Then I woke up one day and I was banned for 1 year and one of the last few requests was a ride in Banana island while I was at ShopRite VI and the destination was ShopRite VI.

I used to screenshot all my requests, and report each one that was an error due to long pickups and wrong routes, post them to customer service.


Even with all that, they still enforced the year ban.


Like so if all I had was Bolt, they would feel so happy taking away my income for a year in such a cavalier manner?

Why decline. Why not allow it to ring out. Only decline d ones out of radius. Sorry mate
It’s the same thing.

I let them ring out, but you see Bolt ehn, they move like demons.

My prayer is for all of us to get much better sources of income and to resort to Bolt, just because we want to, not because we have to.
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by VaselineCrew: 10:05pm On Sep 16, 2025
So I guess the game-plan here is that after the next ban, which would be for a full year, that I would go crawling back to them to please let me back and I will take all the rides that I get?

Even the ones for N1,500 with a 6km pickup?

The one where I don’t want to go to the destination?

Have you noticed how they never buy their own cars and employ their own drivers?

So after all our maintenance, after the huge 30% commission and taxes, you are still going to try to beat drivers into submission so they do unprofitable and dangerous rides?

Have you also noticed, drivers are never paid for riders cancelling after drivers have driven several kms to the rider?
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by VaselineCrew: 10:00pm On Sep 16, 2025
Bolt has started their slavery program again.

7 days ban for refusing rides.

Next up is a 365 days ban, like it happened 2 years ago.

Do you know how wicked of a company you have to be to ban a driver for a whole year? Not for any major malfeasance, but for refusing to take a ride?

I know I drive with Bolt, but I’ve always maintained, they are a deeply evil and wicked company, set to enslave the African driver.

Pearl1910:
Bolt blocked me for three days for Low Activity. I am still observing Indrive, Bolt might be second choice from now on. Except I get trips on Comfort Category or Bolt is surging, I think Indrive is better, from my two days of using Indrive without a choice.
Yeah, I chopped the blocking too, though my acceptance rate is like ZERO.

The app is just too messed up, sending you on 6km pickups. Who wants to do that when one liter of fuel is N880 and the price of the ride NET is N2,100

I guess we are going back to the days of BOLT SLAVERY, where they wanted to FORCE every driver to accept every ride.

Imagine all you provide is an app and you get 25-26% for every single car that comes on your platform and you are still banning DRIVERS?


I told you guys what these app companies do in Naij, they dare not try in their countries of ORIGIN (Where HUMAN RIGHTS matter)

Imagine have NO CANCELLATION FEE, for a rider that cancels a ride.

Bolt will tell you "EYA, don't worry, we will ban her, you hear, don't cry", chai. Meanwhile in their own country, you cancel and you pay a fee.

Why should I drive 6km and the pesin cancel, you won make I run mad for hot sun?

Omoapena:
bolt and their unstable policies, they have removed priority category from the categories and bolt category price is ridiculous.
Still among the complaints of how terrible these companies are in Nigeria.

They have now even added BOLT BASIC, with a further reduced price.

Now almost all requests I get are Bolt Basic.


I say again, you can NEVER go abroad and request a ride for $1. NEVER

BUT IN AFRICA, they will set price to 1dollar.

Imagine doing 1 dollar rides when prices of cars are so astronomical.

It’s like Bolt is just raising slaves in Nigeria.

I know Nigeria is poor and most people might not afford higher prices but why not reduce your commission?
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by VaselineCrew: 7:30am On Aug 08, 2025
Bolt is not profitable, I feel bad for Nigerians.

These companies come to Africa and just become extremely wicked.

SO UOU GUYS THINK YOU WILL TAKE A RIDE IN EUROPE FOR €1?

Or take a ride in U.S for $1?

Yet in Nigeria they will give drivers rides of N1,500, N2,000.

Chai.

In their country, you dare not cancel else you will be charged a cancellation fee, but they come to Nigeria, and let driver drive long distances to pickup and the rider is FREE TO CANCEL AT WILL, after you have burnt your petrol.

It’s sad sometimes to be a Nigerian, but I pray God helps us all.

kcprince:
You spoke my mind. Currently 50% of traffic light in lagos no longer works, there are so many bad portions of roads in lagos that has not been given attention. It is as if the man is trying to erase fashola and ambode legacies and is trying to return lagos back to tinubu era where the only traffic light working was the Unilag gate.

This is what you get when you allow politicians to divide voters based on tribal sentiments.
Exactly!

The chaos at law school junction when I passed was crazy!!!!

Cars going in every direction had blocked the junction and it reminded me of the time before Fashola when approaching that junction used to be hellish.

I don’t know why this Samwolu is undervaluing traffic lights. I thought progress would have been improved upon in making people drive within their lanes; maintaining lane discipline.

However now there are no lanes sef, as they have all faded away. It’s just zigzag driving, all man for himself type of traffic negotiations.

I remember when Osinbajo visited Lagos International airport public bathroom, as acting President?

That was a real G move!

Nigerians complain of passport issues, drivers license issues.

Now imagine if a president that cared, showed up unannounced to a passport office in say Lagos, for instance, then fire sooo many incompetent workers in one spot. That would send shockwaves, reverberating through government institutions.

A President could go and tour power plants and transmission systems to ascertain progress in person.

Heck, a President could even go watch a local football league in the statdium, thus boosting confidence and perhaps the economy of the local football/sports league.

I stead you have a man that flies to France, England, Saudi Arabia… but not Ibadan, Kano, Anambra, Jos…

A so called “Nigerian” up there just said he doesn’t see anything wrong in a President visiting more places out of the country than within the country, with almost zero trips within the country.

Na wa ooo

Lovers of Nigeria, awon APC!

They won’t speak to Nigerians cause una no big reach JAGABAN, and they also won’t visit to see your problems so as to solve them efficiently.
Politics › Tinubu Has Done Numerous Foreign Trips But No Local Trips by VaselineCrew(op): 6:57am On Nov 28, 2024
Tinubu prefers to fly out today Nigeria, Tuan fly to different states in Nigeria to see problems for himself.

Imagine a leader that has never talked to the press to answer the peoples questions and has also never visited how own country but instead spends all the time visiting “abroad”

Such a sad story.
