That guy was a Unilag graduate of radiography a master degree holder self... Its so sad men.

Just see the cute young man below.

May we not encounter evil people in our line of duty!

This is really sad men, may his soul rest in perfect peace in Jesus mighty name, Amen!

We should not berate the dead, especially if we don’t know how it happened.

Even me, I don’t know what shrine is, so I could have picked up someone from there and not even know, then tomorrow I would be berated for being a newbie.

May God continue to protect us with the blood of his son Jesus Christ.

See review one woman left for me on inDriver, na wa

I didn’t even speak throughout the whole short trip besides asking her how her day was going and wishing her a wonderful day.

The music volume was on 20 out of a maximum of 60 and she never complained that the music was loud cause I would have turned it down immediately.


Let me tell you guys what the problem was, I did not let her into my car until she had verified her name.

When I first got to the pickup, she was trying to open my door, which was locked. So I asked her through the window for her name and she started shouting right there that that’s not how its done, that I’m supposed to let her in my car first before asking for her name, na wa.

I just weak at some people men. Is that how you let a stranger in your house and then ask for name later?

I just don’t understand some humans men. I explained to her that it was for security reasons, yet she was still shouting, and I never shouted back.

See how she now left a wicked review for someone. Some people are just wicked sha

See her English sef, “worst rude ever”, chai

Don’t let all the technology like phones and computers fool you

Nigerians are more suited to living in the jungle were they can eat, poo and pee anywhere they like in peace.

I have never seen a country like this before, that will fight to the death before they develop. They will fight and fight to install the most horrible corrupt leaders known to man and then gloat about it.

Just observe them on a day to day basis, and see how they bastardize their society with filth, and decay.

A huge disgrace of a country to black people worldwide.

See small rain and all roads in Lagos flooded, not to talk of the extremely bad roads everywhere . Every freaking place has tons and tons of pothole ridden, rough and useless roads.

Ordinary road oh...

Almighty lekki, 50 percent of roads are horrible, Victoria island, ikoyi...

Then all you people in politics section would be shouting APC and PDP from morning till night like you don’t use the same jungle roads. I’m sure even some foreign jungles have better roads than black man country.

Nigeria should be totally ashamed of itself, and you the citizens that celebrate rubbish, when will you learn?


At what point do you people feel you deserve a better country? Nonsense!

The world ought to know that the black man can’t build a society

BAZ001:
My guy you are doing well. We all had our bad experiences when we started. You will learn the remaining on the job, just stay strong and positive.
When I tell people not to resign to join d hustle they say na pessimist.
This is reality not dashboard. You make money , you save some and use some for repairs and maintenance.

But you will surely make more money than staying at home doing nothing especially with your own car.

Plsss if you are at home in this rain just stay at home and be enjoying your life, mainland is flooded already, I don’t know about island

Thanks bro! I’m home, only doing destination trips to Victoria Island today.

This job has been stressful at times to say the least. I’m already tired, but then I see some dashboards and I’m like how?

How do you guys do it? Na wa!

In lekki here, I’ve had to cancel some trips where the pick up was flooded badly, yet I’d see some small Corolla risking it all and going through the flood. I wonder to myself, is that a resident that knows the roads and water depth, or is that a do a die e-hailer.

Today I saw one market road and I just weak, see mountains and valleys, the riders then told me, it’s okay, I can pass another route. I was almost about to start crying as I had already committed to the trip.

First week I lost a tyre, a radiator hose that was actually already failing, and an intermittent Check Engine light. Well the good thing is that I made enough money to get a new hose and a tyre, but the check engine light is still pending, as I’d rather buy a scanner than pay someone 5k.

I need to use one weekend to tour some parts of Lagos so I can increase my acceptance rate and income, especially the mainland because right now, I reject all mainland trips.

You guys on this thread are awesome sha, God bless and protect you all.

Thanks to all you guys on this thread with the helpful information.

Even in the middle of your fighting, one can still deduce some useful info, so grazie!!

How many weeks has it been now?

davit:
;At the pepper spray part. That's my guy. It has got to that now. You can't even attend to your car again. Lastma dey do nonsense on the road these days.

As in, absolute nonsense.

I am buying more pepper spray from yankee and a stun gun, by Gods grace.

Conner44:
My brother that’s lastma for you.

That’s how one day the gear cable of the car I was driving disconnected on the road and I cleared to check what was wrong. I took foot mat and slid under the bonnet to see what’s up and the next thing I heard was beep-beep-beep-beep as I crawled out I almost got ran over by their tow truck that was reversing to align sweetly with my car.

Heaven knows I tried but they overpowered me and towed the car to their office. I paid N25k after calling army to come and help me settle the issue.

Braaaaah!

Say it isn’t so!

That is daylight robbery men, how can they tow a vehicle in trouble, not as if they are towing to your mechanic for you, but they are towing you as an offender.

Gosh, everyday, I hate Nigeria more.

What were you supposed to do? Like ensure that your car never ever ever breaks down while driving? Who can guarantee that? Not even Elon can guarantee that as some Tesla’s have broken down while driving.

Pearl1910:
Share the trip details,
Did rider update destination?
Are you using the latest Driver App??
Does rider have bonus

hmm, these are good questions oh, unfortunately, I’m a newbie pupil.

I see no updates available on the App Store for bolt.

I have posted the trip picture below. Thanks by the way, this is the first time I’m looking at trip details. I see no evidence that we went to lekki.

Pearl1910:
Hahahahahahaha...OMG u just cracked my ribs.
Never park on d express, If u must sef, it must never be in d busstop bay. Clear into a street or inside bush along the road, na busstop be their office na.
If car spoil legit, they will toe it legit.
If I was u, I will still pepper spray that guy that attempted to enter my car after I don start to move.

Sometimes it just can’t be avoided though, like if you had a flat or an overheating engine.

The sad thing is that as I was there, not one bus used the bustop, instead they all stopped directly on the right-most lane, instead of veering into the bustop to prevent traffic obstruction. Yet, the lasma guy did not see any of them to stop. That’s why I say this country is useless.

I actually opened a thread last month on law and order on Lagos roads and stated the issue of buses not using the bus stop and causing traffic, so why will they abandon all offenders and come try to arrest the ONE GUY WHO IS TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING? It’s sad abeg!

Pearl1910:
There is now UberGo...works only on the Island for now. When a rider requests UberGo, na those Suzuki and Innosson cars go get the request. It's cheaper, restricted destination and limited number of passengers. U and I can't activate the UberGo package now.

No wonder. I have been emailing Uber to please sign me up to UberGo, and till now I don’t see it.

Guys please help me with this issue

I had a trip today to lekki, and when we got to the destination the rider told me to wait and then we now headed to ikoyi.

I was shocked when I saw that the bill was just N1,500, why?

Did bolt not calculate the second trip?

Or should I have ended the first trip and started another trip?

I’m soooooo confused

So today I parked my car at a the end of a bustop on ozumba, clearly away from oncoming traffic and even away from buses trying to use the bustop. I had pulled over to check my engine, so the hood was up.

Next thing I know, one lasma guy from nowhere came to my back and said “bros lemme talk to you”, I said okay, but I briefly looked back, that’s how I saw tow truck reversing towards my car.

Since 1 + 1 = 2, I figured they were trying to tow my vehicle, so I ran back to the car, put my hood down and entered the car. That’s how the tow guy too was trying to enter my car, omo, the way I zoomed off ehn. Plus my hand was already on my pepper spray in case he made it in, I would have knacked him 2 sprays right in the eye balls.

I just don’t know how it became illegal to troubleshoot your car on the road when it has car issues. I am all for law and order, but haba! So if it was a serious car problem, is that how they will just come tow my car, instead of offering assistance? Naija is the most useless country known to man.

themindpen:
Hello Bro, I would like to connect with you. I just sent you a mail, or can you please reach out to 0.8.1.0014.8269. Thanks so much.

Men bro, this my Vaseline moniker will forever remain anonymous oooo, but I will get another email to use then drop it.

CheerfulGiver:
Almost there

Dude, wtf men

This is inspiring!

Crvrider:
There are some new requirements that wasn't a requirement in the past when I registered. Kindly do a screen shot so its clear what you are talking about.

This isn’t even about requirements, it won’t even let me receive the code which is the very first step of the app.

I truly believe it’s 9Mobile sha

CheerfulGiver:
Blown tyre is preventable. You must have felt you could manage it for a while before changing. A good tyre doesnt blow up.

You are correct in this case, as I had seen some signs of wear on the tyre before.

I have had a new tyre pop before though after hitting a nail. It didn’t even go down slowly, it just went from full to flat immediately, but I guess a nail is different sha.

BAZ001:
This is one of the reason I tell people not to borrow money to fix car to start dis hustle or use all their life savings / resign job to get a car.
Imagine if u don’t have any money to buy another tyre first day in the job?
My first 3months in d hustle I changed compressor and condenser e be like some juju dey welcome people to d hustle.
Though some had a smooth start but plenty story to tell.

For where I no go gree you stay lazyD league mbanu. You have the spirit, attitude, anger and mouth of ants. No space for you here, just go and net 100k weekly.
You are doing well

Na wa, compressor in just 3 months? I don’t even know how one can do preventative maintenance for a compressor.

Abeg, make una speak to lazy league manager to accept me abeg. I have been in my house sleeping since the tyre incident. Will change it out tomorrow.

donfortune48:
Bro.
I guess no one have advised you on this. But.....
If you're what your Monika says, then your major tool for this Hustle should be an oily cream.

It'll help you after some trips on the Island.

So you mean I have to lubricate my piston after some trips?

PLEASE DONT MIND MY GRAMMERTICAL ERROR KINDLY HELP OUT

Sorry about you engine problems, you should tag that gazzuzz or gazzuz or gazuz guy.

I wouldn’t recommend driving that car though until you get it fixed.

The water has to be going somewhere, and if it isn’t leaking directly to the ground, then it has to be leaking through the engine, i.e head gasket, but that would mean it would be smoking all the time, not just when you start it, or you might have it in the oil, then the oil would be milky.

Why don’t you observe the car at home, in a safe environment. Fill the car up with water, and fill the car up with oil, then idle it while you watch. Of course you should shut the engine off if you hear any grinding sounds, but you should be looking for smoke from the exhaust, oil leaks and so on.

FuckEveryday:
I know almost everywhere on the island, I don't know jack shit about the mainland. Google map helps, you just have to understand it. Since I Re-resumed the hustle, most times I just have to listen to my her voice for the direction instead of looking at the fone.

As for acceptance, I select quite a lot. Todays example below

Okay, gotcha! Thanks for sharing your acceptance rate.

Same here, I have to start learning about the mainland routes, but not while having a rider onboard.

I actually understand google maps as I have been using it personally for years, but when it comes to the mainland, it’s kinda iffy. Last time I used it, it got us stuck. It took us through some street with a community gate that the gateman refused to open. I just don’t want to have to go through that again.

Thanks again bro!

Pearl1910:
Lolz... na Pope be president for Indriver o...but u can cherry pick ur rides on Bolt comfortably. I have tried to educate people that use Indriver because of that reason. Can't remember when last I went to Egbeda, Iyanaipaja, Jakande, Sangotedo, Ikorodu, Itire, Mushin areas last.
No be by force, when the trip enter, pick it and cancel or ignore it. Just try and balance ur activity. For the past 6 months I have not completed upto 30% of total orders that I have gotten.

I don’t know how you guys are signing up for indriver, cause, I can’t receive their code. Maybe it is a 9Mobile issue

FuckEveryday:
Yeah..I target just 20-25k net every weekends..I made the 25k this morning before going to church.
Till next weekend

Dude, do you know everywhere on the mainland or do you have to rely on google maps?

Also do you accept all trips? What is your acceptance rate like?

First day has been kinda rough ooo

My tyre blew up on the second trip, had to call it quits and head home to recharge my mind.

Guess I’m in the lazy driver league now.

Crvrider:
A lot of haggling goes on on Indriver between drivers and a lot of the time a rider will choose to ride with you if your price range is within what they can afford.

How Indriver works is quite simple. A rider requests a ride at a fixed price, now you can choose to go on that request for the riders price or for a price more than what the rider is offering but which will be determined by the app. So by cherry picking I mean I only go for ride requests that are 2k and above, but that is not to say I don't take rides less than 2k.

Hey bro, please how did you sign up for indriver? I am stuck at the beginning of the app were a code is supposed to be sent to my phone, but it never sends.

drmikeadams:
If you know the owner of this car plate number JJJ8!7fy..matrix , he was robbed and shot in mile 2..

Wow! Please can you tell us when and how it happened?

Nastydroid:
someone cannot play with you

This one that people are saying it was play, it didn’t look like play to me ooo. The guys face was stone cold Steve Austin.

Gudvibes06:
What are the questions to expect bro?

Okay so they were looking for cars that were scratch free and it was hard for cars with major scratches to scale through. The dude was even pointing out minor scratches on some cars.

Then they check to make sure that your ac works and your interior is good.

I had to actually go see a panel beater to align my bumper properly, before the inspector passed me.

So to summarize, the exterior must be relatively scratch free, bumpers aligned correctly, AC working, seats and all in good shape.

Maxwell08:
You get irk easily, are you sure you're ready for this job? Why not joke over it and wash your leg without paying

Hmmm, I don’t think he was joking ooo

CheerfulGiver:
You don't sound patient enough for this job.

I guess I need to be more patient sha
