See another one saying it’s a good thing police did not respond.

Kobicove:
Would you have advised a relative of yours to go challenge them knowing that the police is inadequately armed?

Jakumo:
Those perfectly timed multiple and simultaneous bank robbers, and the expert deployment of explosives to breach fortified bank buildings, bear the hallmark of military planning and execution by highly trained men who have engaged in armed combat in the past, prior to diversifying into the realm of major violent crime.

Armchair police inspectors who decry the absence of a police response during the robberies fail to recognize that a shootout between the bank robbers and law enforcement would have resulted in far more innocent lives being lost in the crossfire. Robbers generally hold the upper hand in shootouts that occur in residential areas because they have no qualms about opening fire in ANY direction, while the police are under orders to avoid shooting into occupied buildings.

It is, therefore, no surprise that the police and army were left with no option but to take cover and observe the operation in progress, so as to later follow up with methodical investigations that will very likely result in the arrest of at least some of the numerous gang members who partook in the robbery. Given the large number of men who raided those banks, it is only a matter of time before informants expose the ring leaders who will then be rounded up.

You are such an ediot men!

So now police not showing up to a robbery scene is a good thing?

You Nigerians ehn, God forbid!

Spits

The citizens of this country seem to get more daft everyday.

See this guy’s justification for police now responding to a bank robbery at Uromi

Just imagine!

You Nigerians get the kind of leadership you deserve walahi!

I bet this same slowpoke, if he was in America, would dial 911, and police will show at his door in 5 minutes, but here in Nigeria he would be like leave them to rob.

What is wrong with the monkeys in this country?

So it seems that Bolt will still block you for rejecting trips.

I thought they said we are now free to choose trips?

I got a message saying I will soon be blocked for low activity score.

So now I have to be doing arrived even for trips I’m not going for and wasting the riders time.

Why can’t Bolt just let people choose the rides they want to take for goodness sake?

NGpatriot:
Do you mean Nigeria invaded Nigeria?

This illiterate ipobs sef..

You ipob terrorists slaughter, behead and roast your own people to eat like suya and gari every day sef.

Left to people like you, the whole Igbo tribe should be murdered instead of them getting their own country.

Barbiturate:
Bolt is just too cheap for riders and their charges on drivers are high.
The most annoying is the promo they give riders. I don't know if they truly compensate drivers for the promo they give riders.

I picked these tech young lads from lawani street, off University Road to Gbenga adeyinka 1st at lekki, it came to 3100, rider to pay 2k or so.

Another short trip of 800. Rider to pay 400. Rider asked for change ₦100. I didn't have. She had to buy bottle water, to give 400.

I checked the fuel I bought today, with the money I made and subtracted charges, Omo, it didn't make sense to me at all.

Bolt Na rubbish app, walai

Haha, N400! Better find change bros!

I get those N400 trips steady, and it always hits me like a hammer when I end the trip, and I see N400. I’m still smiling to the rider, but inside I’m like no way, no way, after all this? God whhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Anyways, they do compensate you on your balance sha, so it’s still your money.

The riders are really enjoying sha, so you enter car that I have washed and sprayed with the finest Arabian perfumes, AC chilling and you are all alone in the ride, no other passengers but you, controlling me like remote, “on your ac, maximum”, “turn your radio off”, “turn here instead”... then you drop and pay N400, N400, chai!

Chai! Chai! Chai!

IFSHR:
Bolt is fraudulent and not transparent in their calculations, sometimes I just feel like someone is manipulating the figures from their backend .. but then, 3k fuel should gross you like 10k .....

Honestly! Some days it’s 26% commission, some days it’s 25.something%...

I don’t know how the fuel finished sha, maybe cause of my errands, but they were short errands unless I underestimated.

Anyways, it all just seems pointless sometimes.

I will try again tomorrow or next with 2k petrol and no errands, let’s see just how far it will take me.

Imagine if bolt took only 10% commission from the 5,700. At least I would have room to breathe, but no, they must swallow 26%.

The fares are too low and the commission is too high. Maybe it would work if one is doing back to back to back trips, but when you do a 900 naira trip of 6km, how much did you really make?

900 - 25% commission = 675.

Average fuel economy for these cars, let’s say, 12km/100 L, so 1L would take you 8km, so let’s round up to say you spent 1L on the 6km trip.

675 - 165 = 510.

Then if you don’t find another trip before you get back to the point of origin, that’s another 1L

So 510 - 165 = 345.

So true profit is N345.

I passed through bad roads, hand to endure a stranger in my car, had to be alert and follow all road rules, had to avoid bashing my car and other people cars, and all I get from that trip is N345; Barely 2 packs of hungry man sized indomie.

It’s weird abeg!

It was different in December when there was surge all the time. Left to me, that surge pricing should be the regular pricing.

Is driving Bolt still profitable sef with their low fares and 26% commission?

I feel like I’m driving for bolt and petrol.

Look at the screenshot of my day’s earnings.

First their commission today was 25.7%, imagine!

Then I used like 3k worth of fuel today, including some errands but mainly bolt.

When you subtract petrol money of 3k, all that’s left is like 1k after how many hours on the road.

Can a high earner break down their own daily earnings? Let’s learn from them as well.

Dashboard is just a mirage men!

blamingthedevil:
Meanwhile,

Tinubu......

The topic yesterday, today and tomorrow. He dominates the space!

To God be the glory


Next Thread on Incoming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

God will not be mocked abeg.

Ordinary water, none of your leaders can provide, but you are here calling on God.

Do you think if God was in charge, we won’t have water supply to our houses?

You steal and kill, put the masses under intense suffering.

You hail a theif that took bullion van to his house on election eve and then you call on God to bless the thief.

That Nigeria is upside down should not come as a shock to an outside observer, because the people themselves, people like you in the majority will keep pulling the country down into the abyss, walahi!!!

People like you that entered gutter to celebrate a politician, mixing with all the poo and pee, because thats the direction your brains lead una

Ordinary water you don’t have.

Where did you get water to bathe this morning? Did you use tanker water? Or was it bore hole? Or was it government supplied?

You see water tankers going to deliver water to people, even in banana island in Lagos.

Suffering and Smiling, living fake life on the internet, when ordinary water you don’t have.

You Nigerians make me sick, evil bunch!!!

All you guys ever do is bash other tribes, while your country continues to burn.

No debates on policy, strategy, nothing...

You all just win elections by calling people Afonja, yamari and the rest. That is all your peanut brains can handle, now shout IPOB!

The day I leave this country for good, I will praise you God like I never have before, because it seems Nigeria is meant for the most evil of hearts.

Imagine last time, you people went and elected a freakiiing coup plotter, like?

Is that one jazz?

Somebody was a dictator, and part of a coup. Something that is a grave offense, yet una still go bring an come manage, as per “suffering and smiling”

Other humans with functional brains in other countries were asking, how can Nigerians elect a former dictator, but of course, Nigerians were here doing owambe.

To hell with your apc and pdp, Tinubu and Atiku, nonsense!

Call me a wailer, but after that, you will still go to bed without electricity, unless you decide to power your gen.

A gathering of apes masquerading as humans is what this country is.

Country of the Apes!

komodapson:
This is not about being desperate, but a lot "craze man drivers" full this ride share industry walai
How I wish he shows up, you kon tell am say you're going to Kaduna
I'll love to listen to his response...
Weerey full this aiki ó

Haha, make bros no go carry wheel spanned on top my matter abeg, lol

Before in go talk say “oya na, make we dey move”

Viking07:
It does o

Are you sure, or is it only when rider chooses the option of “driver requested a cancel”?

My driver score yesterday didn’t dip after some riders cancelled, I thought maybe bolt had already listened as per the email they sent out.

I am gonna experiment with my confirmation rate and only accept trips I want to do which shouldn’t affect driver score unless bolt hasn’t resolved the rider cancel issue.

Done my part sha, but does cancellation still affect driver score?

Omo so many bolt cars are online in lekki here oo

Like ants on the map

Guess we need a bigger microphone, a megaphone.

Hmmm, I ordered one to the north today and he accepted.

Is that how people are willing to drive far on short notice?

Anyway, I have cancelled sha

shigishege:
I need to say this, I may not really like Tinubu to be president as someone like osinbajo but this hates and spoiling games from especially this cursed landlocked doted akpu munching gorilla of the forsaken/lost isreali tribe in Nigeria is getting stupid and uncalled for.

What if Tinubu now become president and he decide to pay them back these hatred, they will started shouting marginalization again??

The same way they created problem for themselves in 2015 from Buhari... We are watching as it unfold.

Wait ooo, shey Buhari is selling you rice at special “zombie” pricing?

Abi are you not buying the same goods as the rest of us?

Are you not getting dollar at almost 600?

Did you queue recently for petrol or did you show them your Buhari love tattoo on your yansh? As per, for easy entry, no pun intended.

Chai!

northbird:
Who has tried the recent freedom to choose trips according to Bolt?
Cos if it's d Bolt I know, i strongly doubt it, cos what's now the purpose of the acceptance rate column?

I will cross the river for you bro!

Driver score reducing daily

chiefoga:
Who is your candidate? Promote your candidate and refrain from bashing other peoples candidates, stupid slowpoke. All you have done with this thread is promote Osibanjo.

See one of the suffering and smiling niggggas

What a country, gosh!

Water you don’t have, electricity you don’t have, currency, security

vasel15:
I always ask myself if Nigerians are mentally OK? Ask yourself are Nigerians ok mentally?

How would you be talking about Osibanjo, I don't believe in Nigeria anymore but, Osibanjo? Really?

This man's boss destroyed Nigeria

I don't think Obama destroyed the USA so its OK for his former vice to take over

I don't pity you Nigerians because you are all iti boribos

You deserve to suffer

Carry on, if not because of ban I would call you people slowpokes

I feel your pain bro.

Nigerians have to be the daftest creatures on this planet!

As in, super duper daft!!

Fela already told you how they love to suffer and smile.

Ordinary water to bathe, they don’t have, but will die for corrupt beasts, abegggg

helinues:
Stop taking Panadol on others headache. Worry much about your region that is in dilapidated situation

May God heal your wicked heart my guy!

Their environment is degraded

Their leaders are thieves

Their countrymen are bigger thieves stealing all their resources to manage the country.

The air they breathe is polluted.

They can’t even fish in some areas again due to pollution.

....

After all these someone will tell you to go back to your village, after their oil was used to develop the country.

Oil price falls and Nigeria starts shaking, but when things get back to normal, they will still tell you they don’t depend on your oil.

What happens when oil becomes useless and your environment has been fully destroyed?

In other regions, they mine and keep their resources, but you are made to feed the whole Nigeria, even Niger with yours.

If you all were serious, you will go to Harvard university and pick someone.

Devoid of tribalism indeed.

I hate you Nigerians sometimes. You will cause all of us to suffer and still be happy.

This country is getting sooo hard, yet all you ediots can’t still think right.

kingsways:
In our presidential system, the V.P is not the one who runs the economy, he doesn't have the power to make appointments. In fact there's not much he can do to change things once the president is around

Then on what basis are you guys hyping him?

One one hand you claim he can’t do anything, so in essence, he HAS DONE NOTHING!

Yet on the other hand you scream “HE IS THE MOST COMPETENT VP”

Suffering and Smiling in Nigeria is just too much abeg.

Pearl1910:
Lolz...it's not your money. How will I explain this again o. If u care to know ur money, calculate the distance and time after every trip. U will see that what u collected is higher than what u r supposed to get. that extra is for Bolt. Remove your eyes from it.

Secondly, I did a very short trip today within chevyview and it was N700. So can u confirm that from Tuesday u have still been getting N600 trips?

If u don't want to stress yourself with calculations, just focus all ur attention on the NET Earnings on your App, so u don't have HBP.

The main issue is Driver Score and not commission cos afteral Uber has been 25%.

Yes, I got a 600 naira trip on Thursday and bolt still collected 26%.

Anyway, I guess they have the market now, so they are doing as they like.

Pearl1910:
Click on the Expenses arrow and u will see clearly how much Commission is.
Booking fee isn't part of d commission. Bolt adds extra money to d fare to cover the booking fee. It doesn't affect your earnings. Cos it's d Rider that's paying for it. U r simply remitting it to Bolt.

Really? So a N600 trip has bolt commission and booking fee inside?

The main thing is that there are taking 26% from out money.

How can a 600 naira trip still have booking fee and the rest. So driver will just make N300?

Vulcanizers are making more than that.

Na wa oh, so na so people dey look bolt drivers?

That we all uneducated and unfortunate

I’m so sad reading this.

to death ?

God of justice, please intervene.

Imagine the pain and horror the girl must have passed through.

God please let your righteous vengeance fall on her attackers

Why can’t bolt just take 80% commission, so we can know that we are driving for free

Imagine taking 26%, abeg that is just pure greed.

So if I make 20k, bolt will take N5,200

Then petrol will also be around N5k

God forbid your car has issue on that day.

So your dashboard will show you 20k, but really all you took home was like 9k.

I mean it would be different if they were buying fuel for their drivers, but how can I buy fuel and you still take 26% of my sweat?
