Oruko rere sanju Wura looo

I’ve tried my best after the easing of lockdown, have paid lastma, try cabu, did Uber/inDriver but yet I can’t gross 30k.

Please brothers I need mature advice

Thanks

Sorry to hear about your ordeal, boss.

It’s a long way to go.

I’m of the opinion you drop the car as soon as you can; don’t let the pressure get to your wife.
Take rental if you can since the burden of repairs ain’t gonna be on you.

When next, you could get something cheaper so you don’t burden yourself unnecessarily, I’m sure you’ve learnt that as a lesson.
Take heart and move on.

Get some skills. Skilled personnel are changing jobs in this selfsame economy.

Best wishes in your choices.

Cheers!

Bros reading this comment, makes Me feel emotional.

I used to be one of the best drivers that delivers on time (I delivers on mondays)

This is week 7 that’s I haven’t make any delivery for my partner simply because the work isn’t worth it anymore.

Am on HP, have paid total of 1.2 out of 3.2 (03 Corolla) up till this moment I’m feeling bad because I couldn’t meet up. I’m owning my mechanic almost 13k, passenger hub is making hell noise currently, crank shaft and engine needs ringing raising the funds already.

Last I did in a week is just 27k. If I deduct fuel and other stuff commission and all I’ll be left with zero.

I pity “we” drivers repairing our cars by ourselves is not an easy thing I swear. You’ve got to accept every trips and you can’t be so selective with trips because there’s competition and you might not get another trip in 3hours.

I’ can’t make an account of how much have borrowed from my wife’s salary to fix one or two thing from the car. Well life is all about win and loses.

Have been able to submit my cv’s which that’s not sure but anything I get there, I’ll manage.

Why am I lamenting? I want advice from my brothers out here. My decision is to drop this car make I find something else doing before my long lasting relationship with my partner will become something Very bad.

Because I don’t think I can Deliver over 30k+ he requires for remittance anytime sooner.

Bros, I feel your pain, I'm also on HP. After the easing of the lockdown, I and one other guy doing HP with my partner were able to reduce payment to first 20k, then 25k when the curfew time was a bit relaxed. In this period I've had to replace oil seal, service car and do regular maintenance, police even catch me for curfew, I don't know what to advice you right now, but I know better days are coming. Exploring better options is a wise decision tho!

I read this over and over again and I concluded that you not looking for advice, but pity. I have already advised you on how to modify your work and get something tangible with your working hours and you still unable to gross 30k in a week?! Even a new inexperienced driver (Eyinola, sorry boss) that doesn’t put in much hours grosses 30K Weekly. Do not blame corona or anything else.

1. You took a car for 3.2 million naira on hire purchase knowing fully well that it would take over 2 years to fully pay for the car. Now I ask, what would the car be like if you finish paying for it? The roads wey you wan drive the car no fear you?

2. You have paid 1.2 million out of the 3.2 and now thinking of getting another hustle, so in other words, you want to count your loss and move on right? It’s good, at least you have experience now and would never go into such contract again.


3. You want to ring the car? I’m assuming the car was bought Tokunbo hence the high amount for the contract. I’m very sure the elders in the house have been hammering about synthetic oil use over a year ago but you went the ‘penny wise pound foolish’ route. Note that you would have to do an engine replacement because that engine don go (I’m also in this boat). My take on the ringing is to hold it off and keep managing because you will cry foul again when you ring it and it still shorts oil.

4. Your wife is a great woman for sacrificing her earnings for you. Treat her with care.

5. Yes it’s not easy on HP drivers because of the Car maintenance and that is why you have to be wise like a serpent. You have more than 2 apps at your disposal, you can’t tell me because of fear of 3 hours wait time you’d take your car and go drifting in Mushin. Select your trips judiciously and always target long trips. Do not be desperate. Just be calm and calculative. There was a time I filtered at least 7 trips (short distance and bad road) until I got a long ride with sweet road. I always try to equate driving hours to earnings.

Anyways, I think you lying about grossing 30k for a full working week. The way things are now your best two options are:

1. Appeal to your partner based on relationship to sell the car outright to you for say like 2 million so you just top 800k. You guys can work out the payment schedule because even if you drop the car for him/her, it’s going to be repairs upon repairs for the partner which is tantamount to more loss on both side. The outright sale is to minimize loss for both parties and still keep the relationship strong.

2. If your partner does not want to help you out, drop it, count your loss and jump on RENTALS where the burden of repairs and maintenance is off you.

Good luck in any decision you make bro. May the gods favor you.

Try checking the engine seats. And when on idle or in traffic, disengage the gear and put it on Neutral.

Thanks boss.....I parked somewhere now and tried the gear shift to neutral method and the vibration was still there but minimal compared to when on drive. I will have the engine seat checked as today.

I called my mech and he was talking about shocks......but he said until I come

Try put the gear in Neutral, if its not shaking then it must be plug, but if its shaking, it should be engine seat then.

Morning boss..What’s the story behind this?

I set out from my house (off brown road surulere) around 5:30am aiming to clinch bolt's morning bonus.
1st 3trips that came in are over 10mins pick up time, while their destinations are showing as surulere. I rejected.

4th trip was going to Fadeyi, with 13mins pick up time. I decided to go cos I've rejected many. Called rider to tell him how long it'll take me to get to him, he said he can't wait and cancelled.

5th trip came with no destination, called rider and he was going to diamond estate isheri.
Egbeda was my base before I relocated to surulere Feb, and I know how difficult it is to get ride to better places from their, coupled with the traffic, coming out of Egbeda in the morning. I decided to go offline. Told rider that I can only go for 3k. He agreed and we proceed.

Dropped him off in less than 40mins, turned on my app.
1st two trips that came in were going to abule-egba and somewhere after abule-egba respectively. I humbly declinned.

I went and packed close to good luck Jonathan estate.

8th trip came in, showing Ajeromi ifelodun as destination. I cancelled before it could ring half, but it came back again, I accepted. Called rider, he was going to satellite town. ...told him I can't go beyond alakija; he cancelled.
The trip came back again, he cancelled.
I turned off my app for 2mins, turn it on and it came back again, I cancelled. It came back again, he cancelled. It came back again, he cancelled.
Turned off my app and started driving towards Gowon estate, half way towards Egbeda bus stop, I turned on my app again, same trip came in, he cancelled it came again like 3 times; he cancelled. Before another one came in from Jemade estate to Lagos island.

Dropped off rider and took another trip to Ikoyi, then went home from there.
That's how my morning was spoilt oh!

I'm in my room now cooling my mind, body and spirit wirh Vodka.

..."ll continue by 3pm.
