Well there is a difference between fantasy and reality

Reality is that they are not in the race and that is not a realistic strategy of getting a young president

That is just wishful and with respect childish thinking

I remember what Wike said a few weeks ago.

Our politics does not happen on television

Let me tell you the real difference between fantasy and reality.

It would be a reality that your children will grow up poor in Nigeria, while you live in a fantasy supporting old thieves that can’t even get you water to take a bath.

But a shameless man like you doesn’t even care.

There will be no need. Those guys have tampered with their dispensers.

They have indeed, and my car is even jerking small.

It’s just that nowadays we have little choice but to buy where we see

So in essence, the first family have all “JAPA”

BMC wasn’t invited though

They are needed for mission critical back in the jungle. So you might see them in the queues as well.

Naija, what a country!

They told us change begins with us - okay na

What’s the other one sef?

Buy naira to grow naira? I don’t know again

Who remembers the N20 milo, hehehe, oh my days

Nigerians are just special people.

This is the net consequence of watching too much CNN and BBC. This is what mental colonialization has done to the biggest black nation on earth. Operation brain phuck!
This is what Bob Marley was wailing about, when he asked the black man to "emancipate yourself from mental slavery"..
The people you are going to die for don't rate you. The war you're jumping into, you know nothing about..

This is how our grand fathers went to fight in British wars against Germany in all sorts of places in the name of fighting the World Wars. When it was all over, the only people being celebrated as heroes of these wars are the whites and no mention is made of the black Africans who put down their lives for a fight they knew nothing about..

I have said it here many times, we need to have our own CNN, our own Al Jazeera, our own Press TV... This is a question of national security. Africans need to be exposed to world events based on pro African narratives... Because, As long as millions of black people in Africa depend on western sources for their primary sources of information, so long will their mindsets be messed up in all sorts of wrong ways... You have never volunteered to fight for Congo Kinshasa who has been fighting against a western induced war for over a decade now. A war that has killed over 6 million people. But you want to fight for Ukraine...

Ndi volunteers..

This is not cnn or whatever bros

This is all about Nigeria being a useless country and the need to escape, simple.

proclinician:
Comrade at least pity me na. Me was supporting Atiku/Obi oo. U need pity us oo

But why are you supporting Atiku?

Nigerians una suffer never do abi

The weather is something else.
It’s sunny here and yet still very cold outside. Snow taking forever to melt.

Congrats men!

From Hot Eba, to Hot fries!

See people buying petrol in car plus 3/5 GIANT kegs.

I was like are these ones bolt drivers that are planning their future or is this for gen.

After paying 500 to enter, yet, they still short me about 1000 petrol.

So I am down N1,500 just to get petrol in my tank.

Anyways, since we all love to suffer and smile, let me smile since I now have petrol again.

I don’t even know if I should use this “expensive” petrol for Uber/Bolt or just maintain myself in case this scarcity lasts months.

It is true that AP Oniru are scammers and I would never buy there once this fuel scarcity ends.

I just bought from them now, 54 liters and my 60 liter tank is not reading full.

Keep in mind, I had about 5 liters left in my reserve.

I will withdraw this comment if my tank rises to full tomorrow, but if not, then indeed they are scammers.

Viking07:
Are your scores still dropping? I’ve figured out a loophole. Your scores will be going upwards henceforth.

Abeg share bros

HOW TO AVOID FUEL SCARCITY LONG QUEUE

1. After working for the whole day, do not go home drive around the vicinity you find yourself, look for a safe standard filling stations that has fuel to sell next-day.

2. Park your car at the doormouth of that filling station till following morning to avoid joining long queue the next day..

3. Eat your dinner and sleep inside the car till next day

4. Wake by 4am to position yourself to be first to be attended to when they start selling

5. Buy full tank and if possible extra 50 litres in Jerry can that will serve you 2-5days depending on how u work. (50 litres for top up)

6. After buying fuel, go home and refresh and rest for sometime before you start Work.

7. Repeat 1- 6 when exhaust your fuel.

God have mercy!

Tesla cars would ve made more sense this period

As in ehn bros.

Forget the money aspect for a sec, just imagine having 400 kilometers of pure electric power.

We have a small 2kw solar setup at home, so I would still be able to charge it small small even if there is no light.


Unlike petrol vehicles that always idle, you won’t burn energy sitting in traffic, besides the power draw from the air conditioner, and accessories, because the motors aren’t spinning.

Plus it is so much more efficient than petrol vehicles, costing so little to go 1 kilometer vs petrol cars. Last I checked, it takes about 250 watts to do a mile in a small Tesla, which is incredible. So if you have a 20 amp supply at home, you can put 16 miles/25km per hour, while you are sleeping, and you wake up to an almost full car.

Then obviously, you are not buying oil, filter, plugs, and the rest.

Anyways, it’s just unfortunate that the prices are still too expensive for now.

Pearl1910:
Dead Driving is simply driving that doesn't fetch u money while u r on duty.

E.g
1. Repositioning to get another trip after u end a trip. Driving from Alakuko back to Ogba before u get a good trip.

Solution is to avoid going to areas u may likely not get a trip back from. Always go to areas that are within commercial zones and busy hubs to ensure u don't have to drive far before u get another trip.

2. Many short trips means u will drive considerable amount of time and distance multiple times to PU your Riders. All those distances can be significant when combined together over a period of a week.

Solution: avoid multiple or too much short trips.

3. Driving 3 to 5km to PU. That's a trip on its own. But u did it without earning, so that's fuel wasted.

Solution: avoid long distance PU except it's gonna be worth it.

You can also reduce your speed and rate of acceleration during pickups like these.

I drive real real slow during pickups, I try not to hit the brakes until absolutely necessary.

I even put on my hazards to mimic a car with problems so that others can zoom past me.

Please, I don’t know if Uber/Bolt accept bicycles?

It’s seats 4

Men? Is this end times? See queue in Mobil ozumba that has curled round the main road like snake.

Omo I have 2 bars petrol left out of 10 bars.

The way I drive now ehn, even bicycle is horning for me, chai!

Time yo go hang my jersey, till Nigeria gets it’s shhh together. This my remaining petrol is meant for only me abeg, before I follow surge and get stranded.

It’s this kind of time i wish I had an electric car.

I will just leave all this petrol struggles behind.

springer:
Those guys can't collect thier hereditary Toll-Gate Tickets Fees if vehicles are on fast drive. You must sacrifice your time to pay them.

Chai!

On a serious note though, imagine if they were still collecting toll, just so we can suffer.

Pay to suffer, imagine!

What pains me is how some were still supporting that they collect toll on that road, like why? That road has chaotic traffic and we should still pay?

They didn’t even build it from scratch.

My own is, can’t we solve this problem.

This kind of traffic everyday can make someone lose their mind.

When I complain about Lagos road users and lac of enforcement by police officers, people will think I’m just yanning or call me a wailer, or tell me to go back to my village.

Abeg, Nigerians seems to be among the daftest creatures on this planet.

Viking07:
The only new thing I did today was after accepting a request, I chat up the rider that I’m on my way. I dunno if the bolt algorithm counts those messages or something because apart from that na the same trips wey I dey take all these while I still carry today.

Guess it wouldn’t hurt to try that as well.

I’ve sent them a mail pouring out my anger abeg.

How can I get a request 600 meters away, then when it’s 50 meters left, passenger cancels and I get docked, like how is that even fair?

As I said before sha, I’ll drive till I get blocked.

It’s funny, I won’t get blocked for stealing or something else, I’d get blocked for passenger cancellation, chai!

Really another app that allows total driver freedom needs to come up.

No rubbish activity score, and simple transparent ratings. Just accept the trip you want and go, not all this activity score calculation and driver score giving someone a headache.

Viking07:
After today’s hustle my score increased to 88%. I don’t understand how it happened.

You are lucky, mine just dropping and dropping.

Got a request just now, drove to pick up, RIDER CANCELED, and I lost another driver score.

What the fvck is this shhhit??

I hope everyone can see how useless these ratings are, so if someone is telling you do this and that, it’s all bs abeg.

Just told some girls to get the F out of my car, just as we about to start driving. They were already so rude and all shouting.

If you see the way they slammed my doors in anger ehn

Yam power!!

This job is not easy sometimes abeg.

Pearl1910:
Apparently the Activity Score is still valid.
Watch out for the Percentage of Ignored trips

It definitely is, but now it’s called confirmation rate

GeneralZodd:
Read my article well and understand. I never mentioned reject trip.

Far distance request always show option of decline, I have declined so many times and it hasn't affected my driver score for once.

You said only accept trips you are willing to go for, which means rejecting trips you don’t want to go for right?

Cause I was doing the same and now my activity score is 76% and bolt is threatening to block me.

GeneralZodd:
.

How to avoid Driver Score Dropping

1. Decline far distance request that provides you option to decline, it won't affect your driver score.

2.Do not accept any trip you don't intend doing, which you or rider might later cancel, only accept trips you are willing to do

3. When you accept trip make sure u call rider as fast as possible to verify pick up location and start driving immediately to their Pick up. Riders considers drivers like this to be more serious and professional. They hardly cancel request. Don't wait for them to call you.

4. When you slide arrive at riders Pick up location and delay is taking alot of time than usual, don't hesitate to cancel and indicate that client did not show. If Rider decides to cancel and not embark on the trip after waiting, it might affect your driver score. The maximum time I wait is 15mins, except rider begs me to wait.


5. Make sure your Car is neat and in good condition, provide good customers service.

Rating is now integrated in Driverscore

The lower your rating the lower your driver score

The higher your rating, the higher your driver score.


6. Avoid unnecessary argument and fight with rider. If they make complain about your service, that's a massive a drop on your driver score.

This is not correct.

If you reject trips you’d still get blocked for rejecting too many trips.

Also just now I got a guy that kept canceling and re odering. I just lost one driver point because of that guy

Anyways, we drive till we get blocked abeg

Anny505:
Someone can't plan a heist for months, achieve their goals and just abandon their loots just because of some hungry youths that were probably taking covers and peeing in their various homes.

I repeat even cultist and petty thieves won't make this kind of mistake.

This is a freaking military like well executed mission that won't be tracked in months to come

Another ediot, why are you putting sunglasses emoji?

Oh it was cool that these guys killed people and robbed banks ba?

I hate most of you Nigerians because you are so so wicked

okoroemeka:
this is a more believable story,I cannot and never believe that those Daredevil robbers that sacked a police station and sent military men hiding like rats under mama badejo table can be stopped by mere roadblock,this people are not dumb and stupid to follow a single road that doesn't have any branch off and your destination is predicted that an ambush can be laid, these boys simply stopped inside bush and everybody will carry the cash he can be able to carry and they simply left the remaining and the cars and escaped through the bush,but they should have buried the remaining cash to be collected when everything cools down

See this ediot Nigerian giving armed robbers advice.

Why not advice them on how to rob your house and hide till everything cools down.

Bastard!

I’m this doesn’t seem intentional to me though, looks like the tank lost control and went sliding in one direction with no hope of correction.

I could be wrong though

Viking07:
Until we all move to a better platform, Bolt no go send anybody. Despite all the nationwide protests, negative ratings etc, they’ve not changed a single thing.
If a rider cancels for whatever reason or driver cancels, your DS will drop immediately.
If you don’t respond to a request your activity score drops immediately. The funny thing is once these performance indicators drops e no dey increase unless you accept out of radius requests. If you like complete 100 normal trips- no increase.

I have never seen my driver score rise, neither has the new confirmation rate risen like the old one.

So is everyone now destined for a block

Driver score goes down daily.

I promised someone here that I would cross the “confirmation” river for them by rejecting all trips I didn’t want to do so that I only accept trips I am fully committed to, thereby increasing my driver score, but Bolt quickly sent me a message that I will soon be blocked for doing just that.

Now even when I click arrive, my driver score still drops after canceling, hmmm

chillex8:
A lot of advantages filling up your tank.

For me, it's the ease to drive about for about 3 days before visiting the gas station again.

I guess I just joined the club.

I am ready for Saturday and Sunday like this, in fact I may go to bed soon just so I have energy for this weekend.

Main Phone - charging
Power bank - charging
Spare phone - charging
Fuel tank - Full

Omo let the weekend begin!!

ReadaDream:
it's good to fill up or at least have 3/4. You work with peace of mind that way and also protect your car fuel pump and injector from lifting dirt when the fuel go too low.

Buying 1k here and there is shortchanging yourself. It also puts you at the risk of buying incomplete fuel or adulterated one.

I was also thinking that having low petrol will deter any car thief at night, as pa, I would be like

“bros, haba no petrol for this car wey u want steal ooo”

But overall we pray to God for protection and I am also making plans to have multiple car trackers.
