taxify in calabar n uyo now lipsrsealed
I guess Uber wants to pay them back in their coins; Uber did the ground breaking in Nigeria before taxify came to reap on uber's efforts.
I feel Uber wants taxify to keep E-hailing awareness in those areas before they dive.

The way he's going about this whole thing makes him look like a paid agent.
You people are still on this matter. Just leave to continue making noise without any response and watch him fade away.
He sounds so rude and proud just because he makes ~N100k monthly.

I know you don't need to hear me, and the message is not for you.

Uber, is open to everybody.

And I guess the reason most of you lament here is to discourage others from joining.

And finally we are in no competition, you succeed at 18 owning a business line, today you are Uber driver just like me.

If I bring 5 people out of poverty by introducing them to Uber is not a bad thing in front of God.
Uber will be reducing fares very soon. their agents are here trying to ginger "lazy drivers". this here nigga is their handler. pls stop giving credence to him.the more we respond to his post ,the more we fuel his aim.most of us here have made more than he did in a day in 6hrs.we didn't come here to show off.
let's wait for Ubers reduction,then we know the next move to make.pls ignore jesusson2020. he's a mole,and we should be careful what is divulged here.thanks .The Almighty bless our hustle .cool

Good morning guys. Please is there anyone in the house using or have used a manual transmission car for uber/taxify?

Can you share experience? Does using a manual drive for uber/taxify makes the job A LOT more difficult?

I've driven a manual before some some 8 years ago. But someone told me I dare not try using if for uber/taxify. That I may not be able to cope. Asking because manual drive is significantly cheaper for same model of car

he claims to be 22 ,but lacks manners and approach.most peeps here are old enough to be his daddy. their reasons for driving on the platform is best known to them.we have landlords here, especially the ikorodu gangs. we also have civil servants and entrepreneurs,who do this for leisure,pleasure,and also to augment their income ,or to pass time till their investments yield. you don't come here to categorise peeps to your level because you're in the same biz.if at the end of the day,what he claims to be ,and who he claims he is, he's living on borrowed time ,because pride goeth before a fall. many have been here during his bricklayer days, spewing excreta from their mouth. unfortunately for them.............drops pen cool

morning bro.im actually a stick enthusiast,but pls don't try it with e hailing.your health will depreciate in record time. Lagos traffic will end your legs.even peeps driving auto suffer severe leg and back pains.if you think you can handle the stress,then go the manual way.

My brother... I will encourage you to go ahead if that's what you can afford. Newer model Manual transmission is easy to drive. Infact you won't feel it.

I started Ehailing with manual transmission 2012 Corolla that year. I drove the said car for almost a year. That was even the era of crazy traffic on lekki-epe exp. I had no issue. I started having pains on my right leg and back pain the week I switch to auto.

New generation MT cars are not bad. I love it and I will love to go back to it.

Till tomorrow Ogunvic still drive Manual PJ

Manual cars consume less fuel and cheaper to maintain.

The only disadvantage is problem to sell. You will have to drop the price to get buyer.

If you're driving in a city like Lagos, YES the job is more difficult with a manual car irrespective of tour experience and number of years driving manual.

Some riders can act cowardly. If you want to cancel, why not tell the driver?

That's how one directed me to the front of his house using my credit. After I parked, he cancelled. Called him to check if it was a mistake but he never picked the call again

I don't know if he was trying to show someone how the app works because the difference between the time he directed me and when he cancelled was less than two minutes

Nigerians are very stupid & crazy! I have a friend who has a younger brother and he used to work with Jumia but not anymore.

He said some assholes would order products on the Jumia website (sometimes fridge, but usually gadgets) using "Pay on Delivery".

And when the products get dispatched with a handler, the assholes who placed the order would come out and say: "Bros, I am very sorry. I just wanted to know if the Pay-on-Delivery" is really working. grin

My friend's younger brother said it is one of the reasons why Jumia had to cancel "Pay-on-Delivery" in addition to bastards who would order products from its website - using "Pay-on-Delivery" and then killing the despatch rider on delivery & making away with the products.

There's no innovation that can come to Nigeria that will never be abused.

When I was still active on the e-hailing, I went to Uber's office at the Maryland Mall to update my drivers license.

I was on the queue when I heard some guys (drivers) discussing how people were cashing out big in the Uber/Taxify hussle.

When I did not come to Lagos to count bridges & flyovers, I quickly - systematically moved few steps close to them and then amplified my surveillance radar & antennae. grin

The guy said they would install an app called "Lokitto" on their phone and as soon as a request comes in from a rider and the Trip gets started, the Lokitto app would automatically inflate the "ride's fare".

For example, if a rider orders a ride either via Uber or Taxify and the pick-up point is Ikeja City Mall while the destination is VGC in Lekki.

Usually, the fare from Ikeja City Mall to VGC shouldn't be more than 5k depending on the traffic but the Lokitto App would inflate that amount to 10k or even more. grin

So the guy telling us the story said a rider reported him and Uber blocked his account, hence the reason he had to visit Uber's office to see if his account could be re-activated - because he said once you get caught, it is an automatic dismissal from the e-hailing platform.

If not for the spirit of Orunmila, I was tempted to collect the app from that guy but the consequence far outweighs the benefits. grin

I stopped driving on the platform the day I picked a rider from Fola Osibo Street, Lekki Phase 1 to Unilag - and the fare was 1,800Naira.

I sent Ogun (the god of iron) to butcher all the staff of Taxify including Uche - their oga with a katana samurai sword. grin

How many 1,800Naira do I have to glean to maintain my vehicle every month? Fvck their bonuses - I don't chase that.

Until the day Uber & Taxify get back their senses, I will remain seated on the fence and allow the cannon-fodders (new anxious drivers) to be wasting their time, energies & vehicles - Good Morning! grin

I have a friend who's a rider on Bolt. All he does is get a new SIM, create a new account and get the #2500 promo bonus on card payment.

We always find a way to beat any system in Nigeria. Scammers now request rides and ask the driver to pay some debts for them in exchange for compensation when they arrive.

As for Sakamaje, grin it has been going on and still going on. It's more honourable for me to quit than do it. After all, it's not the rider's fault that the fares are cheap

And besides, your earnings for that trip was #1500 including commission. Toll fee still dey inside grin grin

I used manual throughout last year and it was a goal! If you encounter traffic, release the gear and relax, when it moves, you engage and go. I enjoyed it then.

From sakamanje earning to Uber paid agent.

Uber recruit drivers everyday, taxify got tired of recruiting and request you come with the vehicle you are going to use to be train.

I don't think those organizations have ur time here.
