Bro leave matter, nobody holy pass but some have been transformed and changed from who they used to be to better people now.

If I open my mouth tell you the amount of money car owners dey own me and watin dem use my eyes do enh you go weep.

One is still running away with my 20k but I told myself I won't call him neither will I text him to ask for my money.

Another about a 100k, he retrieved his car, fixed it and sold it, this was a car I spent over 60k on oh... Blackbishop can attest to this because he worked on the car at some point... Since guy man sold his car he never called my line again.

Is it the one I took to radautoworks to fix myself I'll talk about? Or the one I spent over 160k getting out of the hands of taskforce??

Bros, make we leave story God is building and shaping me for greater things so I dont border looking back on them instead I see it a sacrifice for my advancement.


Anyways, I need a car for rental (short rest sorry short rent) say from now till August, you have any abeg link me up. Thank you

None for now bro. I have three people on my neck for the vehicle I just got and I have given my word to one of them already.

Which bank be that? o wrong.

Somebody mistakenly transferred money to my account, i was told by the bank that they cant reverse until i give consent and i have to sign/authorise it.

The money was there for a long time because i cant see it in my balance though.....apparently blocked and I didnt av time to enter banking hall purposely to go and rectify somebody's error.

This is more likely to be correct.

In my little experience as a CSR for a commercial bank, I can confirm that erroneously transferred funds would remain earmarked in the wrongly credited account pending authorization/investigations.

I'm not sure any bank has the right to forcefully debit your account except in the case of a defaulted loan facility or fraud .

Tell me about it .. The worse are the ones given to the mechanic to fix .. Than few days later you are fixing the same issue again. .. You end up spending double again until you find the right mechanic that gets it right........

Transport business no be easy thing at all .. Especially when the cost of parts has gone up .....

This is why we've been clamoring for you to stop using dashboard to measure this hustle.
Repairs can clean your profit for a month, but it can't wipe off your dashboard.

Bank can easily revert money mistakenly sent to you. It has been done to my account before

Its wrong and illegal, except u gave consent in writing by paper or mail, or they called u and u authorised it. Or they have a court order to that effect. If any bank takes money that was sent to u, even in error without ur consent u can sue them. Highest they can do is freeze the disputed sum or the entire account if there are multiple complains until u come and clear yourself.
If not people that have been scammed can just go to d bank and claim they erroneously sent money to an account and if they are lucky there is money in the account they get their money back.

Recently realised my AC wasn't chilling as it used to. I will have to put the knob on the highest position for it to chill when there's any reasonable sun. The worst part is, once I see traffic on the map and there's sun, my heart will skip because I know the moment I get there, the AC will totally stop chilling.

One rider had to ask me one day if my AC was on grin. That was the turning point for me so I went to my mech, did his checks and dropped the bombshell, compressor gone cry That was after he had checked for leaks and there was none.

Long story short, he changed compressor, changed expansion valve, he cleared the condenser, changed the air filter, changed the O rings, evacuated the gas and refilled.

Ac now chills better than the mortuary and N70,000 naira was the price I had to pay. Everytime I remember, that money still dey pain me.

Now I get a lot of complements from riders on my AC. Most of them say it's one of the best they have ever seen on bolt and I'm always quick to tell them how that AC they are enjoying cost me N70,000. grin

I don't think you " U r still growing" is necessary in this conversation.

Because, you know absolutely nothing about me.

Now back to your other statements, if truly we are so deep in either spirituality and religion like that, we ought to have really been a developed nation, even climes that are not spiritual like us, are the ones getting developed in human and infrastructure development. Should we now say our religion and spirituality is evil?

I perfectly understand your angle, but i will pick technology over any spirituality.

If truly there are mystical powers here, Africa ought not to be conquered and colonized by the whites, and West/Central African even captured as slaves.

Ak 47 shots ought not to penetrate the bodies of those that worship mystical gods, and we just ought to dissappear when in danger, and conquer the world with charms.

I rather stay inside an armored car than tie a charm around my waist inside a basic Toyota Corolla.

Technology is the way forward.

Technology is the way forward but right here in churches/mosques, you will praying and thanking for granted visas.
Why have those prayers not developed Nigeria.

On the travel section, I laughed when I saw where someone was praying for EE to commence but the prayers didn't work to improve your country.
The world depended on scientists to develop vaccines/cure for covid.

Sorry if I offended u,
what u believe or don't believe doesn't change the fact about anything. All I will say is hold on tight to whatever u believe and If u don't believe in anything, good luck to u too.
But at least try and understand the environment which u leave in, to do that is wisdom

Everything has its purpose, and if any weapon/tool is misused, no matter how powerful it may be, it may not be effective. Don't downgrade prayer cos it doesn't work in certain aspects.

If we're considering all the factors that could make a car visit workshop regularly then we should not take the driver out of the picture. I may not handle your car the same way you're handling it.

And you also consider how relaxed you are when driving privately compared to when driving commercially. All your nerves are at alert and sleep will be deprived because of target has to be met; rentals and personal income.
You are after no target when driving privately.

Let me use myself as an example.
I drove my personal vehicle for several years with very less damaged (engine and body) before I decided to get a new car specifically for uber, having in mind that same would apply with the new vehicle.
It didn't even take a month before I started getting hits and also hitting others. Why?
I stay more on the road, so high probability of hits.

True, but keep all sentiments aside when doing business. He is renting ur car - he uses, and u get paid. So how he uses the car doesn't matter, ur business is ur pay and for u to keep that car in a good shape. If u don't like the way he uses the car, u retrieve it and not try to change him or complain about it. Think of it like u were running a car rental company.

Got some very good back to back long distance trips yesterday and used 4k fuel to gross N24000 without any surge. That's the most money I've ever made per litre of fuel. To think I would have argued it wasn't possible on a corolla if I didn't experience it myself.

Why would u allow riders to do such things.. Unless you are charging extra for the load . The bottom line is for such things to happen .. You drivers are charging extra for load......

I can understand suitcase and travelling bags etc .. But anything more than that is the greed of the drivers that is allowing that .. Simple as A B C

For any driver to gross 24,000 without surge, he must cover at least 250km.
This doesn't include waiting time and distance to pickup.

Your turnover is very good.
