Proper research and strategic planning will save you all these stories. There are taxify drivers who are making money. Find out how they do it and stop complaining.
Please tell us the strategy they use in making the money so that we can use it too

I’m almost tempted not to even start any business in Nigeria. The sense of entitlement is ridiculous in most people.

Imagine the OP whining about a business system that he’s well aware of.

We have a long way to go in Nigeria.

Don't mislead the public.

Taxify can't compensate you for picking up riders. For those who don't know Abuja, Mabushi and Wuse are very close and not up to 4 kilometres.

Secondly, OP is not ready to work. How can he say you won't have anyone to pick in Asokoro? Just like in everything, you have to wait for your next trip and Asokoro is one place you won't wait for long before your next ride.

Night driving is a choice which you can take or leave and I must tell you night work pays handsomely.

OP should go back to yahoo yahoo that will give him instant wealth without working. Taxify is for hardworking people and we are making more than the 90k per month promised.

A good car will give you 200k minimum monthly and you don't even have to work too hard.

Continue spewing trash o.. Even here in lagos sometimes it's not always easy..

I think driving danfo pays more than this Taxify of a thing!

those danfo drivers can make up to 10 to 15k a day after expenses like fuel, tickets and feeding. based on fine boy and efizy things nobody wants to venture into it except those who have the courage and those we feel are the less privilege.

Those guys are just mean and bunch of scammers not until they are regulated they would continue to take advantage of our timing unemployed youth to enrich themselves. They have just introduced Taxify lite cheaper than keke they never but into consideration wear and tear and welfarism of the drivers another name for Taxify is slavery.

would you shutup, 200k bawo that is big a lie from the pit of hell.

Taxify is not as profitable as people think, many people just do it to survive. sometimes i drive 5- 6km to pick a rider.

Please dont put mouth in what you dont have full information on, the OP is correct, i however think he needs to still learn some things.

He can combine uber and taxify, so he wont have so much idle time.

Also do you know the harassment taxify/uber drivers face at the abuja airport.

You pick a rider and your car is impounded and you pay 40k to get it released.

is it with the 400 naira daily promo they are doing or what?

I was looking at the promo the guys in lagos are enjoying and am like this is not fare.

And what makes you think that I didn’t investigate? How do you know that I don’t drive Taxisfy and for longer than you.

Always try to use your brain before responding to those you differ with. It helps to show that you’re a product of good education.

Go face your lane.
