She has paid Boss. Thanks for your concern.
I just got more words from my brother. Apparently, he was the cause of the issue.
He said, they got talking on the journey & the girl seemed like one he could keep for knacks.
Girlie, leveraged on their smalls talks & flirtatious chats and made away with his money.
He cum come back home and started lamenting like someone who saw an onion booty for the first timegrin.
I told him that served him right... Him wan light oven grin like Jaydee & Pope191 grin

We Men! Your brother can't have his cake and eat it. Thanks to elders that saved him from Gelato agents.

Abeg, make una help me reason this thing.

I'm about getting a Honda civic which is to be put on ehailing but the prices of naija used civics I see on jiji is starting to worry me.

Despite the rising prices of the tokunbo units, you will hardly find a Nigerian used civic that sells above N800k.

Lets say I decide to call it quit after 6 months due to a variety of reasons.

**For the civic

Cost of vehicle purchase- N1.6m.
Delivery-600k(25k per week for 6 months)
Servicing 45k
Sold 800k.

I would have made a loss of N245,000

**For a toyota matrix

Cost of vehicle purchase 1.9m
Delivery-600k(25k per week for 6 months)
Servicing 45k
Sold 1.4m.

Profit of N55, 000

Even if I sell the Matrix at 1.3m, I'll only end up losing N45k.

Note that I'm strictly considering using foreign used vehicles and Nigeria used is not an option. Also, I am assuming both vehicles don't need any maintenance asides oil and filter change in 6 months.

@ cryptoclub2018, I give god praise for giving his angels charge over you that you were not put into shame and trouble.

Please try to be more spiritual henceforth because "life is spiritual" (in Aps. Josheph Selmon's voice) I indulge you and everyone to search for that sermon and listen to it. The testimony I'd today was a product of that powerful message I listened to.

Most importantly, please please and please, don't give in to fear. Fear not, be of good courage because the devil your advisory is busy going around looking for those the seed of fear he planted in people's minds has germinate so that he can now devour them at his own time.
Fear Is not of God but of Satan so when it comes be bold to resist it. It's the devil's greatest weapon and once you give into it? That person is doom(gone).

Lastly, check yourself very well... Did you had any form of intimacy with a strange woman[b][/b] lately? (Please don't reply me), just check yourself. If yes. Pls desist(fleeee) from that person for ever and know who you hang around with some women are agents of the spirit world on an assignment to destroy destiny and life. But God will deliver the very elect.
Did you recently have any quarrel or argument with anybody that the person told you anything like "you'll see, I'll deal with you!" Go to your inner chambers and fight back oooh. God no go shame us.

I pray and wish beyond all things that you might prosper as thy soul prospereth

First of all. This ehailing business wasn't modelled to work that way. whatever chance you take on any of the above mentioned vehicle. YOU MUST RUN AT A LOSS... Reason.

1. In 6 months there's a big certainty you will not get 600k as indicated because of other external factors.
2. You also can't assure hitch-free business model in 6 months.
3. mechanical faults and driver induced incidents/Accidents cannot be erased.
4. If you want to do this business in that manner. you must do it with more than 2 cars at a time and with at least a 1 year sustainability. With this, you must have recouped more than half your cost price and still sell to make profile thereof.

Any Civic sold at 800k in most cases has been used for not less than 1year. The civics you saw on Jiji that sells at 550 - 700 must have been used for nothing less than 2 years - 5years. So no matter what, at this juncture the owner is making almost 120% ROI.

Please this is my opinion. I am not saying it is best. But know this and know peace.

So today, being 1st Monday and 1st day of the month, I started work late, I was just resting due to the weekend stress cuz I’m always on the road through out the weekend.

I decided to set destination to ajah from mushin then when I get to island, I set destination back and close for the day.

While destination was on, a request came in from ladipo market to igbo efon, I was happy cuz I knew that would give me nothing less than 3k, on getting to PU, rider asked if I can deliver 2 Tyres to someone at igbo efon, in my mind, I said this is a big opportunity for me.
I asked the rider if we can run it offline and rider agreed without feeling reluctant, he asked for my price and due to fear of overcharging people, I asked for the highest estimates and he said 3400 then I demanded for 4K for the offline, He agreed without pricing.

He made a call to the receiver and told him my price, that moment, I just realized I could carry someone going to island along with the tyres, then I started waiting for request on inDriver going towards island, but I went back home while I was waiting for the request to come.

I had waited for about 10mins and didn’t see any request going towards island then I decided to set destination back to ajah on bolt.

Just few min after setting destination to ajah, a request came in on inDriver to agungi with an offer of 3k, I quickly accepted the offer before another driver did and the rider accepted mine too.
I was about calling the rider when another request came in on bolt going to island also but I couldn’t say where exactly on the island so I 1st called the bolt rider to ask where he/she is going and she said agungi, and inDriver rider was heading to agungi also, in my mind, I said I will run the 3 trips at once.

When I checked pickup location of the 2 riders, they were actually on same street but one at the beginning while the other at the end of the street, I was like see how God made this so easy for me.

I went to pick the inDriver rider 1st and explained to her, she agreed without feeling insecure, in my mind, I was like this is easy mehn,

The other rider was waiting for me at the filling station on the street, when I got to her, she opened the door and realized someone was sitting beside me at the front, she thought she entered the wrong car and wanted to go down but I stopped her and explained to her, she was feeling so insecure and wanted to drop but I convinced her and she agreed reluctantly to go with us but online.

In my mind, I was like who mind if it’s online or offline, so far you are going to pay me for the trip, then I’m making triple on a single trip.


Both the inDriver rider and bolt rider were actually going to like 2 estates away from each other but inDriver estate came 1st while the bolt rider estate is the next junction but I decided to drop bolt rider 1st since it was online, her trip ended on 2800, she made a complete transfer of 2800 and I went to drop the inDriver rider and she paid in full her 3k offer too.

Remember I still have 2tyres in the trunk to deliver, drove straight to Igbo efon from agungi, told receiver the traffic was really mad and I would have done the trip online cuz it would have read more due to the traffic but actually, there was no single traffic cuz I didn’t leave immediately, due to how I talked to him, rider paid me 5k instead of 4K we agreed.

That’s how I killed 3 birds with a stone and made 10800 on a single trip and I didn’t use up to 1500 fuel to cover the trip.

Have you checked your ratings ? Are you sure one of the riders won’t report ? Before you will wake up tomorrow or after 1week and see ban. Be calming down

Wise man of the world, continue grin you remind me of when I was in primary 3, we went to play football and lost our money, so we had to beg and it was so easy, wow! Big opportunity, we took advantage of that situation by begging everyone, thinking is fun and cruise. I got home and share my actions with fam, they hit me with words I'll never forget that day. Boss this your action can b the beginning of placing hold on your account forever. Light and love

Any Civic sold at 800k in most cases has been used for not less than 1year. The civics you saw on Jiji that sells at 550 - 700 must have been used for nothing less than 2 years - 5years. So no matter what, at this juncture the owner is making almost 120% ROI.

Please this is my opinion. I am not saying it is best. But know this and know peace.

Thank you Tojahh for the insight. I actually plan putting at least two vehicles but want to do it one at a time so if peradventure things don't go as planned, I can minimze my losses and quit.

Also, I am actually not planning to run it for 6 months, I'm just factoring in my exit plan.

If things go as planned and I can run both vehicles on bolt of 2-5 years, maybe the civic will be a better choice but in the event that things go south, the civic still appears like a wrong choice.

I will advice u don't try this next time, the tyre and the indriver trip should be enough for u..make greed no lead us to whr we no want ooooo, for me as a rider i can't see someone in ur car and still enter oooo no matter ur explanation

I have also done it numerous times, once you give me a package to deliver, I will almost never go with it alone.

But to carry two riders at the same time, my mind never reach grin

For some reasons, I just don't trust those riders enough to carry two of them at the same time. Is it not these same people that will laugh and play with you only to go behind you to give you 2 stars.

The more you know about the vehicle the safer you will be. Run a VIN check and verify critical facts you need to buy a used car with confidence. Check the title status, previous odometer readings and the current market of the vehicle. Do as many checks as possible to ensure you are getting a legitimate offer.

It's not even about rating.....what if something complicated happen....even if the driver is innocent....his motive of carrying both of them will not justify him....his hands are dirty even before probing started...so let's call a spade a spade....what he did was greed.....

So today, being 1st Monday and 1st day of the month, I started work late, I was just resting due to the weekend stress cuz I’m always on the road through out the weekend.

I decided to set destination to ajah from mushin then when I get to island, I set destination back and close for the day.

While destination was on, a request came in from ladipo market to igbo efon, I was happy cuz I knew that would give me nothing less than 3k, on getting to PU, rider asked if I can deliver 2 Tyres to someone at igbo efon, in my mind, I said this is a big opportunity for me.
I asked the rider if we can run it offline and rider agreed without feeling reluctant, he asked for my price and due to fear of overcharging people, I asked for the highest estimates and he said 3400 then I demanded for 4K for the offline, He agreed without pricing.

He made a call to the receiver and told him my price, that moment, I just realized I could carry someone going to island along with the tyres, then I started waiting for request on inDriver going towards island, but I went back home while I was waiting for the request to come.

I had waited for about 10mins and didn’t see any request going towards island then I decided to set destination back to ajah on bolt.

Just few min after setting destination to ajah, a request came in on inDriver to agungi with an offer of 3k, I quickly accepted the offer before another driver did and the rider accepted mine too.
I was about calling the rider when another request came in on bolt going to island also but I couldn’t say where exactly on the island so I 1st called the bolt rider to ask where he/she is going and she said agungi, and inDriver rider was heading to agungi also, in my mind, I said I will run the 3 trips at once.

When I checked pickup location of the 2 riders, they were actually on same street but one at the beginning while the other at the end of the street, I was like see how God made this so easy for me.

I went to pick the inDriver rider 1st and explained to her, she agreed without feeling insecure, in my mind, I was like this is easy mehn,

The other rider was waiting for me at the filling station on the street, when I got to her, she opened the door and realized someone was sitting beside me at the front, she thought she entered the wrong car and wanted to go down but I stopped her and explained to her, she was feeling so insecure and wanted to drop but I convinced her and she agreed reluctantly to go with us but online.

In my mind, I was like who mind if it’s online or offline, so far you are going to pay me for the trip, then I’m making triple on a single trip.


Both the inDriver rider and bolt rider were actually going to like 2 estates away from each other but inDriver estate came 1st while the bolt rider estate is the next junction but I decided to drop bolt rider 1st since it was online, her trip ended on 2800, she made a complete transfer of 2800 and I went to drop the inDriver rider and she paid in full her 3k offer too.

Remember I still have 2tyres in the trunk to deliver, drove straight to Igbo efon from agungi, told receiver the traffic was really mad and I would have done the trip online cuz it would have read more due to the traffic but actually, there was no single traffic cuz I didn’t leave immediately, due to how I talked to him, rider paid me 5k instead of 4K we agreed.

That’s how I killed 3 birds with a stone and made 10800 on a single trip and I didn’t use up to 1500 fuel to cover the trip.

Very smart move. Nice one

Kudos bro.
But please learn to be contended.

We don't just pick and drop riders; we offer them privacy and sense of security.
But you compromised that with greed bro.

I actually knew I went overboard, and I already cautioned myself never to try it again.

But I miss deliver a lot with inDriver rider without the rider knowing I’m on a delivery trip.

Lot of folks do combination trips, delivering plus rider. December was the hight of it, but having 2 different riders in the car? grin can't imagine how odd that sound to me. What excuse you want to give me self, it obviously won't fall on my right side. It is what it is, let's keep d hustle on. No man holy pass

You can kill 3 birds with a stone and not able to eat any of the 3 birds. Wow! It may seems smart.. but greed is greed..
