Did u read his post So to u it's not side hustle?

What is side hustle? To my understanding, I think is what you do to support your main source of income. Is ehailling worth the effort? That's a chat for another dat.

He will definitely go for inspection.
He only asked for the price and it's 6.5k.
After paying the 6.5k for road worthiness, it takes like a day for the paper to be ready and after collecting the road worthiness paper, he would be subjected to go for inspection with 30 days ultimatum.
Okay

The likes of Romeo, Ogunvic, Ifeanyi Mark and I and so on were the first set of drivers to sign up with BOLT in 2015 when they were still in 2 bed room office at Admiralty beside Forte oil Lekki phase 1.

That's like 7 years back. Then Uche, Femi and Nonso the founders of BOLT use to beg us on their knees to register with Bolt. They were ones training drivers. No employees like u guys back then, just 3 of them running the whole thing. Now dem don get money bought a very big office at SALEM. Employ staffs like u and Spread across to other states in N geria

Bro we made Bolt what it is today. I smiled when u said I am newbie. "Ki lo omode Mo" pathetic assumption sad . Nah our sweat Bolt take grow into Big brand yet no good compensation to drivers. Drivers are working like elephant and earning like ants. They only make good money during festive periods.

Bolt fares used to be much higher then and 15% commission was there share. 50k was weekly rentals drivers pay to car owners. Drivers can make 100k in 2 days during winter period. Now they reduced their fares, introduced cash discount and increase commission to 25%. Is that a growth or decline for Drivers? That's absolutel punishment and sufferness.

Let me correct you on this, we all moved to Bolt because Uber reduced their fares by 40% in 2017 April 17th, there was a massive protest at National stadium, But Uber remained adamant that they would make their fare as cheap as small chops. Drivers angrily left their platform, Now they are shadow of themselves. Bolt took advantage of this situation and launch their brand into prominence. And Bolt fare was far better than Uber as at that time.

As per you preferring Lyft coming to Nigeria to compete with Bolt, I dont think they will succeed. I don't see them adjusting their policies to suit Nigerian market. Nigerian business environment too harsh for foreign multi national to thrive. Uber is an example, the reason why they lost so many drivers today is because of their useless American policies in an African market where alot factors works against businesses. It's only the Chinese that can compete with Bolt, these guys understand any business environment they find themselves. Dudi is already giving Bolt a run for their money in S.A. Alot of drivers are leaving Bolt platform over there.

Abeg tell your Oga "Uche" that boys are not smilling. We are not happy with the fares. There is hyper inflation in country at moment. Things don cost. But fares are not increasing, still remains the same. How will drivers survive. Alot of them are living hand to mouth. No financial progress year in year out dem dey where dem dey.



This is just the gospel truth. I so much like your submission. Thank you sir.

Any driver now who claims he/she is enjoying Bolt's fare is a big liar.

Bolt is just too cheap for my liking and their charges on drivers are high.

What people are failling ro realize is that this side hustle would not make you rich or be able to buy an house, it would be able to buy you beer, pay dstv subscription and child's school fee, for other pertinent issues like rent and getting married, this hustle is not for that.

If you want to buy land or build house, this is not where you can make that type of money.

Anyone saying this business is not sustainable, it doesn't make sense, this is something you do for spare change and you shouldn't even be thinking you want to re-coup the money you used in buying the car, if you get the money fine, if you don't keep it moving.

Men dem don dey enter this place.

If you can save 5, 6, 7m doing this uber job? Why on earth can't you use such money to better things around you.


Since I've been doing this hustle, I've not been able to save 500k.

Last week I spent almost 50k fixing one thing or the other, in my car

Hmmm... is the car yours? How often to you fix it? How long have you been driving? How much do you pay for rent? Married with kid (s)? Attachment to friends and family? Jollification level?

These are the questions you need to search thro. The way I see it, if a lighter note driver can do 380/ 400k monthly

Gas - 75k
Savings - 100k
Life drama - 205k

You necessarily don't have to finish the 205k on life drama's, just know those are funds for issues beyond your control and any surplus is kept for future unavoidable bills. Not actual, but if you fine tune your blue print and priorities enough, no how you will drive for 6/7 months and say you can't save 500k, unless there's a fixed problem that consumes your income.

Remember I didn't add juicy offine that comes our way evert other day.

If I had 15m the last thing to cross my mind will be to leave this country.

Firstly you could build from scratch to finish a 10* standard room and palour self contain property with 12 to 15m.

When fully occupied Will give you at the very least 840k to 1.1m per annum.
With the way prices of commodities are skyrocketing you're sure to have an increase in rentals in a few years.

You'll have recouped all your capital in let say 10 years and still have your structure.

Now you still have about 5 to 7m. Get a decent car and register on bolt this should be around 2.5m, you can probably set a target of 50k weekly while you look out for other opportunities which will surely arise.

My 2 cents.

10 standard room and parlor with 12m to 15m? Like seriously?

grin

Where? In Nigeria?? Does he have a land to start with?

Do you know how much cement cost now?
Do you know how much it cost to roof a 4flat of 3bedroom now?
How much are doors?
Jacuz and other fittings.

Its not just to even own a land oh... CofO nko?? government will just wake up one day and your structure is gone to the ground.

Guys don't run any traffic light with a camera whether it's 11pm or 3am no matter what. With the new policy of Road worthiness renewal, apart from the stress of waiting and real inspection of the vehicle functions, computers are checked for traffic light violations and all fines are paid before Documents are Issued.
20k for traffic light violation. Imagine running traffic light once a week for the past 1yr grin
Be careful out there
.

Trust me I'll challenge them in court... Let them tender video evidences to proof I beat traffic light b4 I'll pay or dash them my car.

Which road worthiness are they talking about? Lagos road or Nigeria roads??

I think there was a judgment sometimes last year that nullified that road worthiness document that Nigeria roads are not worthy so the government has no right to demand or arrest people for road worthiness. That judgment was passed last yr by a high Court I think in Benin or Lagos.

Is it in this Lagos that traffic warders will be controlling traffic manually without the use of the traffic light? Or is it those traffic light that the color of the green light is black most times drivers only know it's working when the red or yellow lights are on?
Or is it the one that both the yellow and green nights are working at the same time that they'll now ask me to pay for beating thw light...?

You'll proof proof to the judge to proof that your traffic light was truly working properly or weather the traffic warders are assisting it.

Rubbish country. We are just too foolish in this country to stand for our right.

Look at allnthe roads in IKEJA LGA its only Wemco and MMA1 roads you will have a good driving experience other are like you're riding a horse... Gallopy

What is affecting most us here especially those of us that are saying bolt/Uber are not sustainable is because we lack contentment. If you think bolt/Uber charges more they cheating you quit and use your car for Taxi because those people doing Taxi don't have two heads and those people are even doing better. If you are a graduate I don't expect you to think like the regular bus driver that knows that he will make money the next day and doesn't rely on savings if you earn daily you should save daily because you are spending daily..... If you are earning millions in your previous job and you find yourself here, drop the mentality and get dirty all this excuses won't hold waters when it's time to pay bills all in all some people are not meant for this job find your place and drive that passion to logical point....

I need an ac technician for a 2003 ford focus...
would also need to know the recommended engine oil and coolant for the said vehicle.. it's URGENT..

cc dru, pearl, feli, dmech, gazzu and the other gurus

I use NorthWest coolant for my car its been 6months down the line no issue it's very affordable I think 1k/ltr or 800 can't remember again, been a while a bought it I posted pictures here b4.

For the oil I'd advised you use any genuine synthetic oil with original filter or change the filter twice @ 5000miles interval.

Make sure the oil viscosity is 10W40 its better for Nigeria weather.

If you notice any drop in oil after 1000 or 2000 miles don't panic just check your engine cover.

In addition, a first hand user told me ford don't like anything tracker. Don't install anything artificial on the car just leave it like that and maintain ur car properly

Goodluck bro.
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Lush100(m): 9:08pm On Feb 05, 2022
Having read through comments,
Let me put a few of my thoughts.
The first thing a lecturer taught me that i will never forget is
The aim of a business is to generate customers.
Profit is secondary or will come if the first is a achieved.
Secondly, if these customers have complain while doing your business, listen and understand and solve.
on the short run, u might ignore and get away with it, but on the long run, you will loose eventually because nothing is static and change is constant.
You will fade eventually and those customers will still be there... meaning they are doing something else.

If u want your business to last, you must take your level of business from transaction level to relationship level.

I don't believe that someone working/driving 11 hours a day will call that job a side hustle.
The original promoters of any business will not view their biz as a side hustle.
There is always a market share.
Sometimes a biz might think bcoz of no competitive substitute, they can do what they like,
You are just bidding your time.
Innovation can totally remove the entire biz space for a particular sector.

So many examples abound.

Therefore I implore the drive sharing companies to listening bcoz complain is a waiting solution in disguise.

My two cents
