Well I can say things r better than few weeks ago, but its better to keep watching than to jump into conclusion.

Godfather10:


Charging using solar with a couple of plugs can be helpful, charging is a couple of hours, if we remove petrol cost drivers l believe will make more, needs to be tested though

I understand what you’re saying but put yourself in an investor’s shoes. They need to recoup their investment and yes business has picked up.

Someone complained of getting trips back to back and declining some. Car owners (investors) have really tried bro, hardly any return on their investments for the past 3 months now. Haba! Na paper them take buy the car ni.

Any driver that can’t deliver 20-25k now is not a serious person and does not deserve to be in possession of that car. How long do drivers want to keep short changing car owners eh?

I’m talking about bolt only o.

Cheddaz:
Fuel and commission never comot o

Mr Oga. I hope it will not shock you if i say i am the rightful owner of the car i drive.

In as much as I do know the mindset of an average driver towards owner (wanting to feed more than the owner) It doesn't erase the fact that things are hard this time with this economy reality.

We need to be fair with our fellow human. I set out yesterday around 8am and I got home past 11pm fully exhausted. What I came home with is not more than 5k after all expenses. Ride fare is so ridiculous couple with wait time before getting a rider.

Do you also know risk people take trying to move Lagos. God really saved me yesterday. My people, becareful around 2nd rainbow before mile2. Street urchain there are on a rampage. About three cars behind me was rubbed and they carted away with valuables. They hit my car and almost torn my side mirror while escaping. They were about 5 of them. Immediately they noticed we were stock in traffic and some people are beginning to turn of their ignition, they just came from nowhere, shattered there side glasses and forcibly took things from them.

Mind you, posting earning on a public domain is not only good for owner like you to see that drivers are making a killing sum and decided to remit peanut to the owner but also bad for so many other reasons. Security reason alone, knowing fully well that people from all walks of life view this forum for various reason including those law efforcement agencies who would always want to take advantage of your hard earn money. We need to be guided.

Uber have gone rogue just like Bolt. Always insist on seeing alert if a rider is going to make that stupid transfer. Don't assume it's Uber and walk away. Had an awful experience yesterday with a rider. Went back to her estate this morning to embarrass her and collect my money. The money wasn't much, too meagre. I wanted to send a message across that you can't just get away with everything.

samobaba4u:


I will advise you bring like two first to test the market. For a driver to be bringing car to your office on daily basis means you will recruit drivers living around your office. Mind you most of the drivers partner in this line of business can't even predict where they will be at a particular hour of the day hence you see them turning the car to a self-contained apartment in every part of Lagos . Sometimes I will just laugh when a partner comes here and started saying the driver must reside around so so and so.

Godfather10:


With Hybrid you use less then half the Petrol you use normally , l am surprised he defaulted, what l am not sure of is if it is tough for our terrible roads

Godfather10:


Advise taken Bruv but Drivers have a strong propensity to always cheat the owner if they can owners need to be in the know when things are improving they shouldn’t be kept in the dark, particularly when the lockdown is gradually being lifted.
May God bless your hardwork and send the right passengers to you.
Iam thinking of bringing electric cars to Nigeria there is no need 4 petrol at all, cars will be returned to base /office every night for a full charge and picked up the following morning do you think it’s feasible delivery will be 45k per week

So guys watch out for d lastma guys on Falomo bridge if you are coming from Ozumba heading to Alfred Rewane.

D traffic light by the ramp. You know somtyms even when its on red, some cars still wing it n move on...


Yesterday evening 3 lastma guys were on the Falomo bridge itself, ( like directly opposite the mtn car park) they were like 15 metres away from the traffic light.

So if you are coming from Ozumba, you won't see them, until you fully swerve into the road.

I chuckled within me as I drove past ,cos the way the 3 dudes were intensely focused on the light, it seems their life depended on it.

So avoid any situation to part wt money dis period.

Godfather10:


If it means the driver dosent need to spend a Kobo on Petrol l think buying a generator will be worth while, cars will have to be packed in the office or base everyday for charging
