1. He should report to the police station covering the area where the robbery happened and obtain police report thereafter.
2. Visit the telecom service provider to block the Sim and get a welcome back Sim. Note, he must go wit at least 5 frequently called numbers, Photo means of Identification, preferably Driver's License.
3. Get a new smart phone
4. Insert the Sim into new phone and get back on the road again.

The main problem here is not about the weekly deliver. But no car has been handled over to me for almost 2 months.

I think Ogunvic spent the money and he also has stained Romeo3 reputation.

I have been too patience.
Please I need assistance in getting my money back.
Thanks.

Once a yahoo, always a yahoo.

They defraud partners by driving their cars and ran away with the weekly delivery.
Now they want to run away with your millions, in the name of buying car.

Dont be surprise, that guy has use ur money to buy a car, and keep the car to himself.

When the noise about Peugeot been the best car in Ekiti started, I knew it was all about money, you can imagine, 1.3M for old Peugeot, when you can actually buy a tokunbo corolla for 1.5

Listen young man, dont exonerate any of them, they are both accomplices.

If ogunvic41 did not respond to you in 48hours, PM me privately, the police will pick him immediately.

This ogunvic and Romeo issue reminds me of early last year when ponzi schemes was the in thing, put 20k get 40k in 2days.... To imagine they came here and made hardworking drivers like me and chilex look lazy, so many drivers are still bearing the brunt of their 50k weekly, some partners had to change clauses and some came up with shared maintainance ....in all they changed the game but in a wrong way..

Drivers una village juju strong ooo, just because the guy open every partner eye, to they collect 50k rent, una go do juju, make him come they carry people money run, so that people go say the 50k no possible, na wow...

What I notice here on nairaland, is always attack by drivers, once you post a car available,with certain amount, one person with different monikers,will contact you, one is to attack you and say why not drive it yourself, then another is to reach you and make himself available for the job.

Driver style of negotiation here is thuggery style, check most of them, they always create new moniker, when looking for car.

Quartz 5000 is 20W-50. There is no 407 engine that 20W-50 is recommended for. Within the Total oil (if you must use Total), 407 is meant to be on either quartz 7000 or quartz 9000.

How long has this car been on quartz 5000? It may have oil short if you switch oils to something thinner now.

Got the car through Ogunvic last year November, a mechanic did oil change and use quartz 5000, though the sticker on the engine says total is recommend but didn't specify. Yet to put the car on uber/taxify cos I couldn't cope with the legendary "terms and conditions" of fleetxpert, I planned to drive it myself after work and weekend... Do I need to change the oil? If yes, what do u advice before I put the vehicle on the road.

I came across Fleet Xpert on this thread late last year and on 2nd of January 2018 I went to their office at Lekki.
Ogunvic and I agreed it will cost #1,340,000 for buying and refurbishing.
I gave him #1,150,000 and a Spectranet modem to buy a Peugeot 406 for me which I am to balance them #190,000 when the car starts working.

Ogunvic said the car will be ready and start working after 2 weeks(which is 16th of January, 2018). Towards 16th of January
he told me he is waiting for the road worthiness before the car starts working. He kept posting me, saying the car will be ready soon.

I called Gazzuzz January ending and explained the issue to him which he called Ogunvic and Romeo3 to resolve the issue.

On 4th of Feb, 2018 I met with Romeo3 he showed me a Peugeot 406 which does not worth beyond #500,000 and he proposed that from the #190,000 balance
they will remove #50,000 for every week they have defaulted in providing the car and before 2 to 3 weeks the car will be ready.

It's 20 days since I meet with Romeo3 and they haven't provided the car.

Ogunvic has put off his phone and whenever his phone is ON, he rejects my calls.

All I want now is my money back as part of the money I gave them was from a facility I got which I have started the repayment
since January ending.
Na wa ooooo. Corruption everywhere. No wonder ogunvic has been running away from this thread since early this month. Oga, your money go come out by fire by force.

Nope they didn't... they almost did change rental delivery, but then the pros knew 50k wasn't possible wink

Truth be told, in driving they are the pros, but greediness refuse them to calm down,they want to make billions in couple of months, somebody want to buy a private filing station in 2018. grin

If gazzuzz workshop was for sale, he will issue a check immediately.

Honestly, 50k is feasible for hardworking drivers and if you are using a car with a good fuel economy, like corolla, you should pay it easily.

I think gazzuzz has some explaining to do, because according to the complainant petition, Gazuzzuz mediated and everything was settled.

My questions?

What is Gazzuz interest?

After everything was settled, did he make extra effort to make sure complainant receive the product he paid for?

Or did he settle to advantage of the defendant, probably making the defendant buy more time, by holding onto the complainant money for little longer.

There might be more accomplices when proper investigation commence, well, thats why we have the police.

How is 50k possible? The highest you can make consistently in this business is 100k per week. You will buy fuel, wash car, buy data etc. Driver also has family to take care of. How feasible is d 50k? 50k rentals is another MMM. More stories are still coming. We are waiting patiently.

SARS is highly recommended for this case, a manhunt is mostly executed by SARS, after arrest has been made then they transfer the case to the right department. He might even spend up to 1 2 month in SARS detention center, so he could give useful information to arrest other fleeing suspects or accomplices. There are alot of technicalities in police that justify certain actions.

The only thing he should do is simply honor the invitation when invited, those 2 lawyers drivers, should get ready, work don come.

We all know that the Nigerian Police would handle the issue with kids glove. They would have them settle and probably ask him (ogunvic41) to state how he wants to pay the money in installments. Either ways kunletoks still gets to bear the brunt badly, because that would enable the accused make payments of a huge sum he got in bulk, in piece meal and probably paltry sums, thereby delaying and tying down kunletoks capital, without profits (interest), which could have been the case, had the money been channeled to the right course.

I think Sarz would be the best to make this beat.

The last time I checked, stealing is still a criminal offense which is punishable by law.

This is a pure act of "stealing by conversion" of money meant for a purpose, to something else...

It would be easier if the documents he said exists, carry the date "January 16," a screenshot of subsequent calls to him and him rejecting the calls (which shows an intention to defraud), and some other essential evidences to help prove his case beyond reasonable doubts.

My 2 cents

Fuel to accomplish 100k weekly if corolla is less than 25k(3x7-21k), 9mobile 1200 for 1.5 gig.. aboki charge 2500 for car wash monthly.

Your family is your personal problem, the owner wont say because you have a large family then dont want to make income. or better still if you have a large family dont drive uber, go and apply for Chevron work.

@ the end of the week, after personal expense, the minimum you are going home with weekly is 20k, sometimes it could be more.

when most people have issues related to ogunvic and romeo they usually call me to help them mediate.

MR Kunle called me early January on this issue.

I called romeo and Kayode and told them to sort things out with kunle.

Kunle called 2-3days later and told me everything was ok and solved.

Sadly from what we can see there are still unsolved issues.

As of today, Mr Kayode does not take my calls.

Rome does, but seems to be in a helpless situation,
as most business decisions are not done by him.

I have no interests or profits in this business gone wrong. It is not the first time a complain like this is coming my way, and I try to mend issues.

The ripple effect of how a fleet manager goes bankrupt.

In January my self and Carshopper we were shouting the narrative. This is last week of February and we are yet to release the album cheesy

the narrative is a model of fleet management business, managing investments for potential clients, and in return making a decent profit.

Why are we yet to go public? We are still on test phase.

test phase 1. Drive your self and see what is obtainable under all possible conditions. My self and Carshopper have crossed that bridge personally.

Phase 2. Give out a controlled number of vehicles (personal vehicles) to Drivers @ different rates to see how they manage returns. We are currently collecting data.

Phase 3. Manage those vehicles (toks, Nigerian used, and brand new) maintenance on different management plans and see how drivers and partners cope in relation with cost of repairs and down time. still collecting data.

Phase 4. collation of data of profits made on each vehicle, VS maintenance costs. Still collecting data.


There are still other information/s still being gathered, but to keep this writeup as short as possible, let's stick with this 4.

E-hailing business is profitable, it comes with its headaches (a lot of headaches) but long term there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

From our preliminary findings from ongoing research work, certain vehicles are not suitable for this kind of business.
Vehicles with sensitive electrical systems and large engines are a NO-NO.



Out of over 10 test vehicles with varying engine sizes, models and makes, we have been able to spot the black sheep among them.

How does a fleet manager get into problems with investors? First problem is not having a capital base to work from. Let's start with a simple example, very easy to understand.

10 vehicles, 1.8liter engines, given to 10drivers to deliver 35k to fleet manager and fleet manager delivers 30k to owners. Fleet managers profit on 10 vehicles is 50,000 a week (decent pay if you factor in running costs and risks involved) pay outs 300,000 a week to 10 investors. Now by Tuesday which is every ones payday, 2 drivers are yet to come up with their weekly remittance, sighting issues like (I was not feeling fine, I was robbed, snake and monkey ran away with my money etc..) By Wednesday which is payday for investor fleet manager has to giveup his 50k management fee and search for 20k extra from his pocket to add to the investors money if not 1 investor will have issues on Wednesdays pay out.


What do you do to the defaulting driver? Let's assume he comes with 20k and starts to promise payment of the balance as he works, do you fire driver? Or keep driver on the fleet? Some times the claims are genuine and you can see from drivers dashboard that he made the money, and he has been honest in past dealings. So drivers target is increased from 35k to 50k by tuesday.
While 2 drivers are working on paying the extra money, 2 others are defaulting.


I once overheard the discussion between a fleet manager and a driver, the fleet manager asked the driver for the old balance of 6k from a few weeks ago, drivers response was hilarious, he said, sir if you fail 1 course for year 1, you fit carry the course to final year

now example above is for drivers on rental.

Next drivers on 120k and above targets (shared ratio)

You place a driver on a target of over 120k, first week he will try to impress you (James bond) by 2nd and 3rd 4th week he will realise he is not a machine, and ask him self if he wants to die. Most time drivers on such plans are aggressive and always in a hurry, they make poor decisions, and sleep off on the wheels due to long work hours. This plan is not sustainable, and drivers end up defaulting, and dropping keys, looking for easier plans.

From these examples you will notice Fleet manager will have issues with investors, based on a human angle, if not managed well.

next vehicle down time.

A fleet manager once made a statement on this thread, IT went something like this. Buy peugeot 407 and it will be upgraded and refurbished, and I will give you a 6month guarantee on maintenance.
note I am not here to bring down any one, but that statement is untrue and not possible. Vehicles, (brand new, toks, Nigerian used) are machines. On newer machines, you will have fewer issues, on older more sensitive cars, you will have more issues.

no vehicle is immune to the effects of contaminated fuel, or open manholes on the highway, or obstructions like large boulders placed on the road. The chances of breakdown of a vehicle are significantly increased at night, when visibility is poor, driver is tired, to make it worse if driver is a science student.

Drivers make significantly more money at dark hours (5:30am -6:30am) (7am - day break on weekends).

Most issues vehicles face are airconditioning, and suspension related. These cars cover an average of 1000km a week. The distance between lagos and jos by road is about same distance. Without a strong Technical knowledge or backup, fleetmanager will be fleeced by technicians and vehicle downtime will increase, investors confidence will reduce and vehicle might be retrieved from manager.

being a street boi that knows the inside and outside of ladipo market does not make you a mechanic, you are at the mercy of the technicians there.

vehicle weight VS suspension issues.

One of the reasons the corrola is a success is due to its weight. Suspension issues are less on a lighter car, smaller cars with sturdy sturdy suspension are a great mix.

Before I loose focus, Iet me get back to how fleet managers Go bankrupt.

I talked about driver remittance failure, I talked about vehicle downtime. now let me come to a close by discussing Agreements and management of investors funds.

When trust is built, investors are willing to give you money to buy vehicles, fix them and put them on the road, but investors are not foolish, they did this so they can get returns on their investments. Most markets are not stable, they have their high and low times, in December someone posted earnings of over 230k in a week, but of recent every one is shy to post earnings grin why? Earnings have dropped. same thing with crude oil. Agreements should be made flexible for both manager and investor, so that when there is a boom, there will be room for a renegotiation of terms, and when there is a fall terms can also be re-negociated, ultimate aim is sustainability.

When an investor gives manager money to purchase a vehicle, fix and put on the road, it is not because investor does not know the way to the market, it is because he trusts that the manager has been through same investment decisions, and made the right choices in the past which resulted in profit. It is expected that since you bought it, and fixed it. I should not hear any stories for a certain time frame.

in a situation where manager went into an agreement with a client to purchase refurbish and deliver with a guarantee of a certain Timeline, manager gets into a lot of problems. the gains/ profits manager thought he got from purchase and refurbishing will easily slip into maintenance costs within a short time, especially when a wrong unreliable brand is selected. And after a very short while he begins to rob peter to pay paul so he can save face.

Understanding the dynamics of business and contractual agreements is key, a strong background in vehicle repairs plus a partnership with more than one standard workshop is an added advantage.

A strong financial buffer is also very necessary, do not start fleet management with forecasts of weekly driver remittance to pay investors, it will fail, because there will always be 1 or more stories, pay investors from your investment capital, as I told my partner, you bring 1m, I bring 1 m before we start this business, if it succeeds we will see it clearly, if it does not, worst case scenario we lost our investment and kept a good name, we return the vehicles before we get indebted.

finally please do not buy a car with poor 2nd hand value. Consider the vehicle as an asset that can be liquidated. Cheap car plus repairs does not equal significant increase in resale price, you are still stuck with a cheap car.


Sorry for the long uncoordinated writeup, just wanted you to understand what most managers go through.

You need at least 100 hours on the road a week to hit the 100k target.

About 14-15 hours on the road for 7 days.
70hours a week, 4full tank of fuel is all I need

when most people have issues related to ogunvic and romeo they usually call me to help them mediate.

MR Kunle called me early January on this issue.

I called romeo and Kayode and told them to sort things out with kunle.

Kunle called 2-3days later and told me everything was ok and solved.

Sadly from what we can see there are still unsolved issues.

As of today, Mr Kayode does not take my calls.

Rome does, but seems to be in a helpless situation,
as most business decisions are not done by him.

I have no interests or profits in this business gone wrong. It is not the first time a complain like this is coming my way, and I try to mend issues.





Thank you. I really appreciate your support.
