Like...I don't even know if I should laugh, cry, vex, spit, ....

How can you tell someone to pay 15k a week for rental? That's so inconsiderate

When compressor spoil, you go still call partner
When tyre burst, you go still call partner
When servicing reach, you go still call partner

Inside 15k? Habaaa

There are suggestions that even the Almighty can't help but shake his head.

Covid-19 has come to stay...
It's not leaving tomorrow or next month.
Enough of the pity party

Yes, I agree for negotiations from the usual, but 15k is just unfair
Im trying to understand you sir, 15k unfair to who? The renter or the rentee?

Clarify pls and suggest how much is fair.

Lagos to Ibadan should be 25-30k if you want to go that route. I obliged someone's offline request for the very first time two weeks ago. Lekki to Mushin and back. Bill was 14k

Exactly. And someone wants me to be singing praise for 15k. Mtchew

It is what It is. I've warn us about using the ikoyi link bridge b4 and how using the etag or any of the toll gates don't count, reason I stopped using that link bridge and using my tag as well because you won't be issued a receipt.

Dont be disappointed with the response from uber it's a normal thing and due process to take.

You don't expect your office to pay for any expenses that has no receipt.

Another thing is, the lekki-epe toll gate charges N230 or there about while the Ikoyi link toll charges N335 or so where as the rider pays N200 and N300 respectively. Meaning you're looking 2-3 toll pass in every N5000 recharge you do.

What then is the need for using an etag or ecard when one is paying commission from his pocket.

Wrong bro, I use etag all the time, lekki-ikoyi link bridge toll is #270 while lekki-epe toll is #180.

I use the LCC app to top up

I was pummeled with all manner of invectives when i posited that 15k weekly was absolutely wrong.

The very week the lockdown was deescalated, I bought 3 tyres and a new battery with total suspension overhaul for one car also insurance for all 3 vehicles was due in a few weeks.

Tell me how 15k will cover that

In other words you just bought the car right? Or you changed tyers just immediately after the lockdown was lifted right? Your car has not been in rental all these years abi?

Bigleaf1006:


One thing Nigerians are bad at is facing reality.

A kettle calling a pot black.

Bigleaf1006:

You too kindly explain to us how your driver on only ocar was getting by in paying you 35k weekly in this period up till today you've never come up with any reasonable answer.

People are so easy to come on a masquerade forum to talk cheap where as they have skeletons in their closest.

A car that has been on ehailing rental for over 1year at 35k and you still renting it out for same amount or a little less yet you still shouting.

Oga you're wicked. Yes I said so.

Report my post for all I care.

And you know what you're also doing, you're encouraging the good partners owners collecting less than what you're collecting to shift grounds with their drivers thereby removing food from people's mouths.

Oga fear God ooh!

Stop taking advantage of the joblessnessbin the country to extort and enslave people because of your selfishness and greed.

Izzuo has given the beat advice, if you can't rent out at a reasonable amount simple stay away from the business for the now. Or better still you self park your car or drive all of your cars by your self.

Careful sir. Before you go about looking for what’s not missing, #5000 fuel is about 35 litres.

MMA to Bodija is about 125km, Bodija to Ojota is about 132km.
Ojota to Ikorodu around 18km....do the maths. Factor in traffic and AC.

I keep wondering how you think its ok for a driver to rent @15k or 20k when social gatherings, religious, schools, senior government workers, Int'A and most offices are still under locks and keys with some going into extinction.

Most importantly, drivers have restricted time to work which is from 6am to 9pm. Dont believe that 4am to 10pm scam, I'm yet to c a driver that goes online everyday at 4am.

Guy have you been driving these period? Have you seen the traffic situation in lagos lately? How many Long distance trip can a driver do in a do?
The other Saturday I did just 1 trip because of traffic, from Agege to Gbagada the trip ended N7+ I spent over 2k on fuel.

Do I need to remind you that uber is charging drivers 25% flat rate? With no incentives and no promotion??

I'm sure you're also aware drivers are responsible for hazard fee like lasma, police, touts, soldier and "my car" while most drivers share repairs and services is on them, part from some of us that are fortunate to have owners partners that does everything 100%

My last week total earning was around N30k to 37k as i was buying fuel I was demanding for receipt to keep tract of my fuel spending and at the end of last week I notice I spent a total sum of 14k on fuel. Lets assume no hazard payment and I'm renting at 15k or 20k how much would be left for me, my wife and kids.

Guy, abeg stop it oh!!! 20k ke

1. I didn't say 20k, I said 20-15k.
2. If you feel my weekly remittance range of 20-15k I gave the car owner was quite bad, how much would u have had me recommend for him on his car? 10k or 5k?

Like I advised in the post you quoted, it is advisable for every car owner to keep their cars for now. It is just like giving the cars to the Drivers to earn for themselves alone.

So if you're a car owner, would u accept 10k weekly rather than keeping your car at home?

So I staryed my day off at MM2 airport as directed by uber, paid toll #200 and parking #750. While waiting, a trip came in, I accepted, Rider said she is in Abuja but she is requesting for her business partner who is on his was to Lagos.

She asked if Uber goes to Ibadan. I said yes. I thought of it, doing an online trip won't pay me. So I negotiated offline and later agreed 15k. I waited for another hour before my rider's flight arrived. Unfortunately I was at the wrong place. Had to drive back to MM1 domestic wing and kept going round in circle so as to avoid those guys that toll vehicles. I eventually opted to use their car park #400 (so I can better search for my rider). I eventually found him 6secs after parking.

Spent 3k fueling my car on my way to Ibadan. I had to fuel 2k on my way back to Lagos (blew empty).

Now let's do the math.

750+200+200+400+3000+2,500 = #7,050

15,000 - 7,050=# 7,950

I cried when I did this calculation. I suffered today sha.
Sorry I'm not laughing...

You crack me I swear.

But why you no do solo come back na at least to recoup fuel money.

Me I did magodo to Shagamu mask week 9k coming back 3k. Bought fuel 3k so I'd 9k to myself.

This work na sense and mind my guy. Next time get sense

You could be right in your own experience but don't say the other person is wrong I stead speak for your self.

Do you get receipts each time you use the toll?

Have you bordered to confirm if the toll was added to your fare?

Observe these things and let the house know and learn.

A few people like me are free to give advice and expose our success secrets but many of us would never do that instead they talk you down when you're trying to make a point.

I think my point was very clear in the previous post.

Someone should give a driver a car, bear the cost of maintenance and servicing, and collect 15k every week?

It's better he gives him free, and collect his reward in heaven

THE CIRCLE OF POVERTY
THE GODFATHER

Interesting reading.:-
I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire is appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year. But I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management. Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't not be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how they are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go
ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing
your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money
realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around.
Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the
total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

I will center at the bolded.

First, I will only buy a car for ehailing at this time if I'm to drive it myself

Secondly, I won't invest right now because I don't have the conscience or won't want to be tempted to be mean and to be wicked to ask for an unrealistic and outrageous fee at this time.

Lastly, if the car is over a year old off course I will accept my faith and make sure I get a steady delivery. The pandemic is nobody's fault so why make it look like its the drivers fault so he must rent at the same amount he's been rental anti pandemic bearing in mind this car has been rented at above 25k for the past 1year?

Its never gonna be like that for ever after all.
