pope191:
Early this morning

sorry pope, abeg sprinkle holy water on me

Pearl1910:
Baba...speak for yourself, u don't know me.
Don't quote me out of context and don't make sweeping statements or generalisations. Why did u add except? What I have accomplished in ehailing in 5yrs, I couldn't do it if I stayed in my paid employment for 10yrs...
If pay is good why not, but anything less than what am currently earning, I rather continue my driving and have peace of mind, flexibility and freedom. I can't go and sit in an office and month end u pay me 100k or 150k or even [b]200k when I can make that in weeks. [/b]But las las all man for himself sha. Do what works for you, No query my own, cos I no query ur own.

you make 100k a week? As in, you put 100k on the table every week?

ndubuisi2021:
All these your narration that fetched you 5k doesn't sound so sweet in my ears. It shows that for one to make 5k on ehailing, you must peel your legs.

I was buying roofing sheets the other day at Bogije, Ibeju Lekki area. Men, those guys with their rickety trucks netted close to 30k the few hours I spent there observing them carrying bought roofing sheets for people. I was billed 9k with abeg to drop my roofing sheets at Sangotedo, a journey of less than 15km. It made me wonder how notoriously stressful Uber and Bolt can be before one can earn reasonably. It made me concluded that it's really not worth it if I have to run around like a rabbit round Lagos to earn money while an artisan will be in one place a day and earn three times more in a more defined way.

I think it's better sometimes, to put the stress level and many other things in perspective when talking about earnings. This hustle is crazy and weird in many ways. No man deserves to be in it for the long haul no matter how much you earn. Take what you can take from it, have concrete plans as you are in it and leave it for good.

you have spoken my mind. I met the man that introduced me to ehailing last week. The guy had driven for about 3yrs before I joined. He told me his health is at risk. He's totally lost libido for sex, his left leg's knee and ankle joint is bad that he can't drive anymore. Set your target , meet it and move on. A word they say is enough for the wise

pope191:
Same here, one said he will only do the Nov/Dec hustle, can't take the e hailing effect on his car assuming he has gone ahead to resign from work.

he for hear am
This hustle don toughen us finish

peeps4u:
He might be talking about himself.

We doubted 300k+ monthly when someone posted he's been making that since the beginning of the year and showed it when he was doubted.

do you know that 2drivers use one car in Lagos? Have not ordered a cab and have a different person shoe with same car u expected?

IFSHR:
On your app and find out

y'all should take it easy on how you mention money here. Do you know the strength of the man? Did you also tell him how some drivers sleep in the streets to get those dashboards? Did you tell him the number of hours a driver can put everyday? 15, 16hrs a day?

deedee44:
I think he did not exaggerate, he's well on point

I've introduced 2 office workers to ehailing, they both bought tokumbo Corollas. None of them are still in the hustle now. They were asking me how I survive on this hustle?. This job is tough. I usually tell ppl to forget dashboard and calculate how much at hand

deedee44:
We don start

as in eh

IFSHR:
You have the money to buy the car
You have decided to drive the car yourself

Soft work.....you will net 150k per month (At the moment easily) net of fuel and commission only.

Hard work ... You will net 230k per month (at the moment ) net of fuel and commission only.

The ball is in your court sir to make the final cut


But then it's not as rosy as my above statement .... So many downbeat comes with this hustle

Car issues (controllable)

Road referees (lastman, police,CBD etc) (manageable but you will fall victim
to learn your lessons once or twice)

Riders wahala (manageable )

You can as well dedicate some time to read some previous pages of this thread to prepare you better.

just want to know. When was the last time you netted what you're advising this man?

E shock me

Quality20:
Government shd not do any rail infrastructure in SE anymore, since these ppl are genetically criminals

ipob is your problem? The Fulani that rape your women and kill your brothers are not criminals? Anyway, you guys deserve each other. #free biafra

kingthreat:
Not just rail. Government should not do a thing there.

yet you won't let the criminals go! Are you not mad?

BAZ001:
Chaiii dis one deep.
Please no start another quarrel for here. But I trust none of d drivers are here

Feli....
Sorry, they're not here.,...lol

Pearl1910:
I already said this is not an advise.
I had a Chevrolet Aveo about 10 yrs ago, no issues.
The only info I and people on this thread need from u is to say the problems u know the car has.
For the last time, don't buy a manual car for ehailing in Lagos. This is not an advise

ok boss, let's agree to disagree. Peace

Pearl1910:
What are the problems of Aveo abeg...Every car has its own comma, but overall, Chevrolet Aveo is a good fuel economical car.

For the purpose of ehailing in this Lagos, Auto Chevrolet Aveo is better than Manual Honda Civic.
I repeat, avoid anything manual for ehailing. If its rentals, u can try and see, if it doesnt favour u, u drop d car. But to carry ur hard earned money to go and buy a manual car for the purpose of ehailing? It will only end in tears. Premium tears. This is not an advise.

becareful of the advise you give. Have you used Chevrolet before? For your info, I have 3 chevys on this hustle and non is an Aveo. Do not lead this guy to destruction. I rest my case.
N:B, I don't want to comment on the transmission thing because it's been over flogged here already. Peace

Pearl1910:
Stay away from anything manual gear for ehailing. Go for Chevrolet Aveo

wrong. Chevrolet aveo is a problematic car. Go for Honda city manual if you're good with manual transmission

Excel70:
Lool if it is free as bleep. Remove your sepentine belt and ensure you drive like that all day.

wtf

deedee44:
Yes they will work, for a limited time because the car has to sources of power. The battery and the engine, to the best of my knowledge, the engine is the main source while the battery is the backup. If electrical operations are solely on the battery as you claimed, how come they still work when you remove the battery while the engine is running?
The bolded only proved the engine doesn't depend on the alternator and not the other way round which is what you intended to prove

@ the bolded, they work because the alternator is rolling and giving them energy. Please note that THE ALTERNATOR IS AS FREE AS Bleep! IT DOESN'T GIVE ANY STRESS TO THE ENGINE!!!!

deedee44:
Yeah you made sense. But the battery also hets that energy from somewhere.. the alternator, which draws power from the engine lol. No be my work sha so I may be wrong

there are 2 energies in every car. 1. Electrical energy
2. Mechanical energy.

Your battery is just an (electrical)energy bank.

When you are waiting for a trip, listening to good music � and your engine is switched off, you are spending some energy from your energy bank(battery). As soon as radautoworks requests you, you start your engine(mechanical) and your alternator refills the (electrical) energy you spent waiting listening to radio while waiting.
Then you turn on your ac, more (mehanical) load and the fuel is what the mechanical energy spends.
I need a lecturing job

deedee44:
Everything you use in the car that is powered by the car consumes fuel in the end, it may be so little that you won't notice but it doesn't mean it doesn't cost extra fuel. From your headlamps to your wiper down to rolling up and down the windows. Even your car stereo or that extra baggage in the booth.
The electrical parts draw power from the alternator which in turn draws power from the engine.

common dude, all these you mentioned here can work when you engine is turned off! They are electricals. They are powered by your battery! Gosh!!!

N:b, your battery is charged by your alternator. Your alternator doesn't add any load to your engine at all. That's why your car can start even without a serpentine belt that turns the alternator.

deedee44:
Yes it does. If you have used a tiger generator (I pass my neighbor) before you will know what I'm talking about

actually, increasing the fan doesn't give load to the engine. Reason is because fan is electrical. Meaning it's runs on the energy on the battery. But when you turn your ac on, there's a magnet that attracts the compressor plate, causing the internal components of the compressor to start pumping gas. Thereby causing the engine to do more work.
The fan is part of hvac under the dashboard. It's controlled by electric current. While Compressor magnetic force puts more load on your engine.
I hope I made sense.
Drops mic

dru23:
Come wash my car ... I give u money to chop .....

chaii....their is God o

deedee44:
Update: My phone to the rescue, I mistakenly placed it on a wet part of the table so I quickly went for the handkerchief and used it to clean the phone after which I pocketed it straight away. Strange post lol, it's still about sharing our experience

pocketed handkerchief used in cleaning all the dusts in ajangbadi? Pig dey learn work. You are disgustingly nasty. Puke!

HopeVictor:
All those people calling me coward because I said we should forget about protest..If you don't go out tomorrow to protest then you know what you are..

And I don't have any RIP to waste either if anything should happen to anybody..

truly, you are a Coward

Blackbishop:
Congratulations and the award of another kid in a guy body goes to you.

I've noticed that since morning you've been using words like "mofo" on us. Dude is it because radautoworks was supporting you without telling you the truth? Let me tell you straight-up. You ignored all the warnings of Covid 19 initially. You went ahead and hosted a big wedding packed with people amist pandemic. You even posted some of your pix here(without face mask). Hugging, dancing and sweating. Tell me, why won't you contact and spread the virus?
Coming out here to call ppl names as if you've been maintaining social distancing. I still love and respect you though. Just that truth must be told. Just like Buhari, you too have been a bad boy. Take your medications seriously and avoid arguments son. Daddy loves you. Get well soon boy

Blackbishop:
Some of you are daddy or intending daddies and yet you all come online to display abstruse power of arguement.

My opinion is my opinion and your opinion is your opinion, so why force me to digest your own opinion.

Most of you are lost in your timid way of reasoning, mate grow da F up and argue maturely without insult or show of grith

But you are insulting us! With F word. Could it be one of the symptoms of the Covid you had?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]There's nothing Wrong in preferring Autos over Manuals

There's nothing Wrong if you can drive an Auto and cannot drive a stick

But coming in public to talk about how hard it is, and outdated is just somehow

I show am list of 2020 models, e say make I buy am for my wife

Imagine that kind empty talk[/color]

them just dey display ignorance with pride.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]A perfect example of how hard it is to comprehend is You...Yes, you

Who said people should use Manual for Auto?

Dru talked about how difficult manual was, and some of us came up to debunk it. Nobody even said auto was bad

Yen yen yen... Typing without understanding

I just showed you 2020 models with manual transmission...But you turned a blind eye, because that exposes how poorly you think, and how difficult it is for you to understand.

In 2021, they would still be producing manual transmission cars. You can keep crying and deceiving yourself that it's outdated

[/color]

No the 2020 models were produced in Ladipo. Some ppl sef

xrayj:
2021 u are still like this??
When last did u ride a manual car??
Cars are made for specific purpose, if car manufacturers are creating manual gear for certain types of vehicle it obviously mean the system still requires manual system to function well, not because manual is better auto! Same way they are still using certain brake system for large trucks, not because it is better!
Automatic is an advancement of manual gear & will always be better!

Oga, manual cars are not that stressful . Some people still prefer manual cars. It's just a matter of choice. Ask yourself, why are they still making it ?
