Today, I decided to drive after a long hiatus due to traveling and some other reason...My driver has been whistling about the dwindling revenue and he's asking for a slash..I told him he will get a response when am back to Lagos. The idea is to experienced whatever he claim to be the issue then we find a middle ground..Quite funny that yesterday is the first time am buying fuel at 890 or so, the fuel in my car up to yesterday morning was still gotten for 600....I don go, I don come back ....make I rest small..I'll share my experience..

We are waiting...
It's really not fair out there for drivers
Both of you should come into profitable concensus

Omoapena:


One major reason I hate indrive.

We all have our preferences, it was because the waiting time elapses before I could cancel based on false order.

I checked bolt before going on indrive as i read say bolt rate dan increase, the first two orders that came in were 3km and 2kms away. To grab a 2700 ride.
Dem dey craze.

I'm pained.
Indrive have robbed me as I just swore for a rider

I was jejely in the office while I decided to go on break and saw a 5500 trip to bariga from ikeja, I knew I would get another ride back from there to ikeja

This guy ordered for his babe, from kafi strt to bariga not knowing it was supposed to be from bariga to kafi street, na so I pick.
On confirmation that the destination and pick up location were intertwined. I canceled the trip. Indrive didn't plan to refund me the service commission deducted. I was pained.

Pearl1910:


I shout it here everyday since 2020 "Boycott Indrive except u don't have any other option"
But u guys where cashing out that time. Any system that gives d customer power to determine price of goods and services without considering the factors necessary for optimal service delivery is wicked.

Even their increase is not significant please

What I saw on indrive
Make una go dey find another hustle.

Barbiturate:


Which NNPC?

Governors road

Omoapena:


When, cox it is still 855/l as at yesterday.

It changed 15mins ago at NNPC governors road, ikeja

Fuel at NNPC now #998 per ltr
Whaooo

Who else noticed the unusual increase in price on Indrive around 5pm to 6pm today when the rain was Intense.

SmartFarming:


I said I will discuss how we were able to get buyers for our pigs and the challenges we faced? Here we go.

We fattened the pigs and decided to sell them off. When we decided to sell the pigs off, we started talking to potential buyers.

We spoke to people who ran restaurants and some market women. We were also introduced to some middle men who deal in pig brokerage.

Some interested buyers visited our farms. They offered to pay cash but we felt they wanted to take advantage of us for the prices they were offering for the weight. We knew the general price range for the live kilo weight of a pig as pertains in the but they were offering us considerably less.

Other buyers who visited our farms wanted a minimum of 10 pigs before they could move their trucks to our farms. We had only two and we didn't envisage selling them until after the bad experience we had.

These bulk buyers asked that we help them source pigs from other farms, and then invite them over. We declined because that was not our focus. Besides, we were not willing to assume that risk.

It took us 21 days of extra feeding of our pigs. Each extra day meant an eroding of our profit because at a certain stage, pigs don't add up much weight if they eat.

Feeding the pigs for more days would affect would have led to an operational loss.

We decided to take our losses and sell off our pigs. We got a buyer and disposed off the two pigs. It was lower than the prevailing market price. Calculating all the expenditure incurred in raising the pigs, we broke even for the price at which we sold the pigs. Our hard work was not paid for. But the experience we had acquired was well worth it. We saw the potential and increased our risk by staking every money we realized into the business.

Next week, we will share with you the non-negotiable facts about pig farming in a straight shooting way.

Pls share your mail adress

I will advice anyone sharing metre to buy a personal "CHECK METRE". This is not the regular metre, but, a check metre. It measures your energy consumption. Once you know your energy consumption, then, you have the idea of the amount to pay

You can also suggest to the landlord or facility mgt company to install Check metres for all tenants or occupy, thereby, everyone pay for what they consumes while sharing on Metre

How much will it cost?

@omoapena, there was no need for all that! That you had an argument with pearl doesn't mean you should rub it on an innocent soul. I ed I said it wasn't possible for me. Everyone tells his own story, whether the person is telling lies or not, it shouldn't stop you from being frank(from your own experience) to someone who said he left the hustle a year ago.

Pearl is a good guy and he never stops putting me through when I call him, but I still told him I don't make such amount with 20k fuel. If he says he makes such, so be it! Advice people based on your own experience.

For the guy asking, 50k delivery per week is high! Insist on 35k. I bought 20k at NNPC and I made 44k+, though I still had fuel to make it 50k. Like I said, insist on 35k.......30k would be best for you! The prices are ridiculous, even bolt self no dey try again.

Got a trip from lekki phase 1 to opebi at 8300.....42 mins. Checked bolt and I saw 9400. I did the maths.....after commission, indrive came to about 7400 and bolt about 7050.

Omoapena is petty and always thinks he's right.
No other opinions matters to him if it doesn't align with his own opinion.

OralB:
Indrive is cursed.

Same customer, same locations, same job.

She was just trying her luck
No sane driver will pick such amnt even if it's going their way.

The bolt charged amnt sef small.
I wouldn't accept the one on bolt either

Glithronix:
I snatched a trip from a driver whether him AC no dey work ni oh, abi him no wan on AC for these ladies.
When I got to the PU na there I know the issue.
And na this SUV lagride (Smh).

It is well.

What was the issue, pls drop the gist

Omoapena:


I'm pretty sure you must be an imbe.cile in real life who jumps on matters that doesn't concern him, go meet your parents for proper teaching on how to approach discussion....

You are daft and have no one worthy to be called parent. If you do have parent, they aren't well trained enough talkless of ing values across to you.
You miserable fool.

Omoapena:


You're obviously a retard who doesn't have manner of approach...


I'm not surprised, your parents didn't teach you well.

To this cause, You don't deserve my appropriate manner of approach.
Just shut up you dim-witt

Omoapena:


Never in your life tell me to shut up, I don't know you neither do you, just stay your lane.


Next time, if you have an opinion towards argument, prove your point with evidence and not come here to open mouth and say nonsense

Just shut up already.

Omoapena:

Hahaha

Which loan company will give you loan and spread payment for more than 24months?


Dey jonz, you will have to be an existing customer to get the one that will even give you 24months payment plan, and I hope you know this loan companies doesn't have fixed interest rate.

If he's getting a loan of 5m for 24months, he will be paying nothing less tha 350k monthly for that 24months, you think 350k monthly is worth that risk, I will say it worth it if there's job security in where he works

Just shut up already
You talk too much.
You are bound to words you know little about.

Fatbam003:

Barbiturate:

During weekdays in the evening/night, fares are usually low compared to mornings/afternoon. Moreover, I just checked that your alausa to onike round about. Check 👇

You can continue your indrive though. Me dey like show working, no be cho Cho Cho 😊

Deduct commission for both trips
Tell me what's left as its different. A #400 difference. Meanwhile on indrive I can bargain an higher rate but I can't on Bolt.

Cho cho cho. Indrive goes well still pls
I am not convinced.

Qoopman:


Thank you very much. I’m trying to actually get a car and start, cause I can’t take a 100-150k job per month in this economy and please what’s your view on Honda City. Is it advisable to get for this.

I have a private job I do.
With that I was able to save enough last month using both indrive and bolt.
Enough excluding fuel expenses, feeding, traffic law floating, bolt and indrive commission, car maintenance and the likes

I go out more Saturdays and Sundays, just 4 to 6trips from Monday to Fridays due to my job.
In essence, hop on it, it's profitable.

This is serious

Welz:

that's why indrive is better(for me), because I can decide to bid higher for this trip and the seller will accept.
PS.. this is the trip I talked about earlier, its even 12mins not 15

Thank man

Barbiturate:

Dey play



It doesn't tally

I don't go such routes, I have seen such location hit 11k on indrive atimes. If you hurry to pick trips, you will pick lower fares.

But luck.
I took from ikeja to unilag 8000 on indrive, went through Gbadaga, no traffic. Soft trip. From Finbars road to Agric ikorodu on indrive 11,300. From agric to Ogudu 5700 (low but I was rushing home). My vehicle is a 1.6l engine. Those trips I used 8ltrs fuel less than 5000. To cover the 3trips.

You see the variance in the prices.
Indrive atimes offers good rates, but few peeps are so quick to accept rides on indrive thereby going for cheaper rates. I rather stay where I am for hours than to pick low rate trips except I am in an hurry.

I might have made more on bolt but I resent bolt for suggesting location I don't like, not bren able to choose my preferred location and distance.
I made money eventually through indrive. I just don't go about driving through traffic.

Omoapena:



Declining request doesn't have negative impact anymore, even if you decline 200 request, if will only reduce your acceptance rate but won't effect anything like suspension or blocking so you can always decline that unwanted trip and wait for the one that will favour you.

Indrive is good but you can't rely on it cox some fare will just vex you and one thing I hate about indrive, you can't even take off your eyes from the request interface coz you might miss a good request if you do and sometimes, it takes a long time before you will see that worthy trip and you can't just stay on that app for minutes looking for the trip..

Bolt still remains the best


@Pearl pls I'm also interested in the offer. Thanks😊

You are right, you can't take your eyes off the request Interface truly but I have gotten used to it as its .
Indrive lately have increased their fare rate.

It atimes takes minutes before bolt will bring your preferred location, and after their 25% commission, the actual fare rate tallys somewhat with that of indrive.

I'm not always in an hurry to accept trips on indrive, also I don't goto locations where I will not get trip requests in time.
