BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by VaselineCrew: 11:33pm On Mar 28, 2022
Johnchrix:
This got me cracking and as well made me remember a bolt driver I met at Italian school Lekki phase one were our bolt driver's relax by noon, he was like he's getting exhausted and that what gives him money now is bet9ja, bolt gives him money for bet9ja. Another driver same location said' he's looking for a buyer for his Toyota Corolla. Bolt is so heartless, my advice to fellow comrades is to try and have other sources of income. Use the proceeds to go to school if you are not educated, or venture into a business, although business success is usually through strength of mind honesty and perseverance and not necessarily by uptaining Harvard or Oxford certificates.
They are heartless bro, real talk!

I really need to go dust off my other skills cause I had almost abandoned them, but it’s not worth it. I will definitely persevere by Gods grace in learning new skills, cause sometimes, you reach a point while learning new stuff that it all seems soo complex.

Maybe if I haven’t been blocked in the near future, I will do this on the side for money for chin chin or something.

One month I grossed 110k, and when I did the math, my take home was like under 50k. Sometimes I try to close my eyes to the math and just drive, but the math doesn’t lie, after you remove 25.6% commission and petrol.


As they say, “Men lie, Women lie, Numbers don’t.”

Bolt is just being clever by half. When you guys do advert of 100 thousand weekly and pay your yearly rent in One month you do total calculation of the whole gross. Intentionally being clever by half misleading comrades to go piss on thier boss heads. Uber add everything including booking fee under thier commission abi who bolt dey give the booking fee? Bolt add every money made including the so called service charge, thier commission, parking and toll fee as weekly/monthly earning to pay house rent.
I just pity who decide to follow the words of one or two people words say millions monthly of all the bunch of people saying otherwise... And pls nobody should even get me started on strategy dis and dat. From inception practically all strategy has be exhausted here yet someone will say you have to register something something. Una wado well well.
Even 600 naira trips, they still take their 25%

That’s why you will drive and drive, yet you can’t even afford to put tyre on the car.

I’m wondering if all these platforms aren’t demonic in a way to suck the life out of our cars while making money in the process.
BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by VaselineCrew: 4:42pm On Mar 28, 2022
I can’t drive on these platforms anymore, it’s taking my sanity, plus Bolt will soon block me sef so I might as well go out with a bang!

It’s funny you don’t get compensated for trips were you drive and passenger cancels, instead you get points deducted.

Indriver is even worse, some passengers will stop picking their phone.

I’d like to say it has been fun, but it hasn’t, and my car has been through so much.

Then the riders that treat you like dirt, as if they own the car. Spits...

Drivers are trying men, no lie!

Let’s not forget the traffic, then having to pick someone in traffic, then they cancel, chai! You’d almost run mad, God forbid.

Will your hands get leprosy or something if you don’t cast vote for either of those two parties.

I don’t want to wail here, we all know our issues, but what bugs me is the fact that people haven’t learnt lessons.

I even heard that Tinubu advocate guy is trying to relocate to Canada, chai!!

They will tell you that you are wasting your vote by voting for a relatively unknown good person, but then what do you call voting for the popular demons? That one is not a waste ba?

I don’t understand you Nigerians at allllll!!!!!!!!

If you can make BBN guys and gals famous then you can also make a no name person a president.

Look at the way Americans rallied round Trump, someone that had never even been councilor before.

Please don’t tell me about American parties because we know they are based on ideologies. You’d hardly hear them cross carpeting unless it coincides with a change of ones beliefs. Unlike here were they are APC today, PDP tomorrow, then back to APC; shameless!!

Why do we rush to support bad things en mass? Remember MMM? For every one person that tried to enlighten the masses then of the MMM scam, it seemed you had 100 people supporting the scam, screaming “GET HELP”, lol grin grin

They even sang a song telling people warning them to mind their business, here is the very funny song below:

They are already robbing people?

This reminds me of one incident I had at night on lekki epe expressway.

I was behind a petrol tanker that caught fire, but I didn’t know it was the tanker since I was looking down adjusting my radio before looking back up and seeing this huuuge inferno.

I tried to reverse but I couldn’t, so I abandoned my car and ran back thinking it was boko haram or something.

After about 10 minutes I saw other cars reversing and driving one way since a path had now been created so I ran back to my car so as to rescue it.

Omo that’s how agberos everywhere shouting, bla bla bla, only God know what the ediots were saying. See them about to drag me for my car.

If you see the way I started and zoomed off ehn, you go fear.

I was like in the midst of this chaos you want to extort me? Stand in front of my car whether I won’t run you over, mudafvkers!!!

How black people turn small chaos into looting and robbing is just soo shameful.
PoliticsRe: Reinforce Use Of Coins - Reps Tell CBN, Banks by VaselineCrew: 10:51pm On Mar 22, 2022
WATCHOVER:
I understand that my explanation might sound too local to you but let me tell you that 100% increases in price or hyperinflation is as a result of not using the coins, a sachet of water that was sold for #5 later increased to #10 that is 100% increase but if the coins was still in circulation it would be sold for #6. 50k but because the manufacturer knows that there are no coins they try to sell at even making inflation rates rise very fast
Bros na wa for you oh.

How is it coin’s fault that it is no longer useful in Nigeria? Chai!

Don’t you think it’s the economy over the years that made it useless?

Now you want to force Mr. Coin back by fire by force, when it doesn’t have any place left in society?

What is 5 naira to dollars? That is like just one cent, 5 whole naira is just 1 cent or lower actually? So how much is 1 naira in dollar, that is like 1 cent divided by 5, chai!!!!

Chai chai chai!!

So what is 50 kobo to dollar, that is like 0.08 cents.

I’m sure it would take more money sef than that 0.08 cents to make one 50 kobo coin.

Trust me, coins will make a comeback when it is economically viable, and not before.

Imagine if inflation gets so bad that bread becomes 1 million naira, would you still be supporting 1naira coins? At that point, what really is the point?

So you will carry 2 million 50 kobo coins to go buy one loaf of bread? Let’s be real!

In Countries with strong economy’s, coins have value. I could buy a cheeseburger for 90 cents for example, pay one dollar and I would want my 10 cents change because it’s like 10% of the product I purchased.

Juxtapose that with buying something here for 449 naira and paying 500. I would gladly take the 50 naira change and tell you to keep the one naira if you don’t have it, cause it’s not even up to 0.3% of an already low cost product.

Most of those guys up there have electricity with probably big gens in their houses and they don’t care about the price of diesel, even if it reaches N5,000.

Yet the Nigerians that have been suffering IMMENSELY from power cuts and low income are meant to blindly follow these guys?

PoliticsRe: Jonathan Vs Buhari: What Has Changed? by VaselineCrew: 8:05pm On Mar 16, 2022
bluefilm:
So your problem is just that the president often travels out for medical checkups?

Hmmm... I'm wondering now how does that affect Fuel pump price?

And if the president decides to be having his medical checkups at LASU, please tell me, how will that make food prices to fall?
Well I did preface my statement by saying I am no economist.

However, the way you just dismissed my concern on medical tourism is quite callous, no?

Besides the economy issue, isn’t is a security risk to have the number one citizen being sliced open by foreigners while unconscious on foreign soil? That alone is a red flag and a very big one at that.

As it relates to the economy though, so you don’t believe that maybe, if a president could fix the hospitals here to such a high standard deemed fit for himself, it would attract medical tourism into the country? Other countries trooping in with foreign currency to use our facilities, I believe, would be a plus for our economy, not so? Or maybe I’m wrong? Or maybe you can’t even fathom a Nigeria with a good medical system.

You talked about food prices, but it was under the watch of this president that we started hearing the phrase, “Herder - Farmer clashes”. I don’t think I had ever heard that phrase before Buhari became the president of Nigeria.

Why claim on one hand that the herders are from other countries in front of the then USA President, Donald Trump, while on the other hand be willing to cede large portions of land to the same foreigners you claimed are responsible for the clashes as a way to end the clashes. Doesn’t make sense, and I’m sure it didn’t contribute to a boost in farm produce either with the prolonged crisis.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4Cn47ePFAU

As for Fuel, this same man was so ignorant of the ongoings in the oil sector that he boldly claimed there was nothing like subsidy, shouting, “who is subsidizing who?” This is the same person you put your trust in? Someone who didn’t even understand the issues at hand, yet has been forced by the reality of the situation to pay even more than 3 times the previous cost of subsidy.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAriq3_2zaM

Fuel is admittedly a very touchy subject in Nigeria because Nigerians want cheap fuel, heck even I want cheap fuel, but how realistic is this?

What I would say though is that it definitely would be much much cheaper to get refined fuel from our own backyard than having to pay in dollars and ship it from a country thousands of kilometers away.


All in all, Buhari is just not a good president, he doesn’t even communicate periodically with the masses via the press like other countries presidents do. You just hear from the guy like on New Year’s Day or something, like, the guy no even send.

Well I’m no economist, but I don’t think being the only president in the world to fly out of your country to seek medical help in another country can be good for your economy, or healthcare system, but what do I know?

When you complain, they call you a wailer, an unpatriotic citizen suffering from inferiority complex especially if you try to compare us with white countries.

When you mention that maybe we get Harvard and MIT grads or the best of the best here, to be leaders, they say they rather local, tested and trusted corrupt politicians. Their trust is directly proportional to the scale of corruption, the more corrupt you are, the more you are trusted.

When you say, okay let’s divide the country or at least have regions sort themselves out, they tell you that this British creation, one not of their own ancestral doing, can never be undone. Never ever ever!

Who are they? Your fellow Nigerians.

Can I even blame them? It’s like the chicken and the egg question, which came first? If the egg came first, then what laid it? If the chicken came first, then how did it come to be?

Leaders or more accurately, rulers here in Naija bastardize the country and leave citizens uneducated, citizens in turn support the corrupt leaders to further impoverish them. Who is to be blamed? The citizens or the rulers?
