Its been crazy my brother, DL process I started since march this year, I don't just want to blow my fuse yet with the guy. God in heaven knows I have giving him more than enough time, more so I still have my day job, uber is something I just want to do on the side.
U better blow ur fuse O
March till now is almost 6 months
It is better u start another processing from a reliable source than hoping on him at expense of time. Driver's license without driving school certificate shouldn't take more than 2 months for capturing at most, with driving school certificate it is just a day. Driving without a driver license is a serious offence, pray u don't get unlucky with these frsc or VIO guys. Call d guy today

One can't be too careful with driving regardless of your years of expertise, u may be very careful, but d driver next to u maybe drunk. All these trailers drivers no pity small cars, i always distant them with everything possible.

I'll plead with you to stop saying owners are not making money, are you trying to say it safe for owner to increase rentage to 40/45k since you guys make much more. You make 12500 with 3k fuel, owner takes 5k, the company takes 25/15 percent, please how much is left that makes you to make money then the owner?

The boy knows what he's saying. When he was saying that Uber is heaven sent, he was just referring to drivers and not the patners.

The 5k he will take daily is safely saved, the 25/15 % or whatever percentage the company takes will be ploughed back for servicing and major repairs sooner or later. That's why he said the owners are just rotating money and think they are making profit

Let's put this thing together, same tin goes for keke, if the rider gives him 3500 per day, he/she can go as well to save 5000 or more by over stressing the tricycle at the expensive of the owner, so what different dose it make? Mind! I'm talking about something I have done before, not a theory.

Now let's look at things from him saving 5k a day after car owner 5k plus fueling around 3k while adding commission of 2k, dats 15k in total, you and I know everyday is not the same unless you want to over stress yourself and make it a must, which is if the morning is not good, I must wait for night or the odd hour. When its all said and done 5 30am to 11pm just to make 5k is like wasting the years of my life, on my part and with the economy situation of this country its called working hard not smart. Here we have to see the owner as an inactive investor and anyone who is into business knows very well that seeking for more then 30% within a certain space of 6 months on investment is a risk on its own, why MMM never made sense. If I invest 1m and get 1.3 back within a space of a year without doing anything, its called money working for me. I don't think fixed deposit can give me a profit of 300k and option of still selling same valuable at a reasonable cost, soh please tell me, how is car owner at the receiving end if the driver keeps to agreement? Mind, car owners have other source of income outside dis as well.

Hahahhaha you dunno wats going on...
Think deep...

All this people in the offices here in Nigeria are marketers not programmers so they can’t tell u how it works..

In the us if u use a high brand car u get more request dan the others... cus they want to give their customers good service.

Ratings has Little effect...

If I understand you well. You mean if a corolla 03 is within 2mins from a rider and an 07 is 15mins away, Uber will pin a request to a car 15mins away of a rider because it is an 07 Toyota Corolla? Ko yé mi rà rà.

Help me understand this, because I haven't seen or experienced a rider asking what year/model of Toyota I drive. Even when I briefly used a peageout 307, I still get my request well better. This makes me reemphasized thus.... When the car is neat, well maintained, driver cautious and professional... Money will hit the bank. Same money with a driver who owns an 07 corolla.

I have actually cross check everything before I conclude.

900k Uber car will take you to mechanic every day.

Uber favour we drivers, owners hardly make money. Dru once said he lost money and reinvested, alot of people jump on the fence.



This is false sir. The car I'm using was bought 550k and I don't even visit mechanics not even once in two weeks. I only go there to ask him to ride with me so as to notice if I need any fix.

Secondly, you're so hell bent on agreeing that Uber favours drivers... If this is same. Then keke riding will favor just the riders too. So its same old shiiiii.

Anyway I wish you luck and big chance of breaking even sir.

I have always used Axamansard, and yes, they fix all the vehicles involved, as long as it is an accident, irrespective of whose fault it is. Operative word here is that it has to be an accident.

And yes, I have had to process claims more than once on same vehicles within a few months apart, and they pay up. They are frankly the best I know of, having sampled a few of those companies. They give less stress when a claim arises.

Good evening brethren.

We requested a ride on Uber this morning but the driver's profile did not have his car license plate details. We cancelled immediately.

Although we tried to contact Uber, there wasn't an option to click to report such an incident.

This evening, we have been able to get the 400 naira cancellation fee reversed.

I don't understand how a driver can operate on Uber without license plate details on his profile. Especially when riders can report when the plate number of the car that arrives is different from the one on the driver's profile.

Can anyone explain what happened this morning? I think it is an issue of rider security.

It a a network glitch. No big deals

I asked because it seems you have shortchanged yourself. The only time I did that, I knew I was going to file for claims. Please insure your car, I use AxaMansard.
