Greetings House
Johnny, I want to get 2014 Skoda Octavia with 1.8L TSI engine for this hustle. I would like to know the cost of maintaining the car, interms of the suspension, transmission, engine and the common electrical issues.

Johnnybegood12:

My personal opinion, I would not advice you to buy a 2014 car, if the sole reason is for this hustle.
Go ahead buy something smaller not more than 07-08

Both Uber & Bolt will never reduce their 25% commission their whole business model is built on this 25% , in all the countries, that they operate in, their commission is 25%
India they have about 600,000 drivers, America Uber has about 700,000, U.K. abt 85,000, S/ Africa abt 50,000, Egypt about 35,000, Australia, Europe? In Colombia I think they have abt 90,000, Brazil almost the same, these are multinational companies, Nigeria they have abt 30,000 drivers.
I don’t see them making an exception for Nigeria, it’s not gonna happen.’
What Nigerian should concentrate on is is fares, that can be increased if enough pressure is applied.
E-hailing can show flexibility on fares , then the unionisation of their drivers, they will fight tooth and nail to resist that, their claim is that those driving for them are partners and not employers. However,
In the U.K., they give holiday pay, pension etc, but only after being forced to do so by the courts.
My candid opinion is for Nigerians to fight for increase fares,
E/ hailing averagely provide a good service? It’s relatively safe, in some countries they are the biggest employers of labour, & it’s flexible.
Agitation for increased fare should be perhaps 50% max,
To ask for 200% means you are worse then those that removed the subsidy in the first place,,
Rent should also go up to btw 40k and 50k per wk for owners.
Drivers should not be selfish, knowing drivers, they will want all the 200% increase for themselves alone nothing for owners.
May God bless your hustle folks, but be sensible in your request for increase in fares.
50% is best or you will all lose customers.

You're far gone brother. You've really been bedded by slavery. Someone dey fight for an improved means of livelihood for the same hustle you dey intoxicated with, yet this is your stand. Truly, most Nigerians are in love with their slave masters. No matter the profit you claim to make at the moment. This strike actions aim is to give you a better deal. Don't you get?

But a quick one...Let's assume all these e-coys budge after this strike. You also will gladly share in the spoils. Tueh, e don be for this country.

How u na deh my people? where dem Cheerfulgiver, Bazoo, Pearl, pope, Felicity001 and dem other Ogas in the house? I just say make I holla at you all. Be safe out there guys.

YeyeGbami:


Not bad, bolt wey i know will never reduce commission

GeneralZodd:


Clean sharp car

If to say nah Yaris e for make sense die.

Crvrider:


Imagine if slave freedom fighters had his kind of mentality, oyinbo for still dey ship us like monkeys dey go farm for plantation. After all, even then, some black slaves where having it easy but they all stood for a just cause. Some even died for the freedom we all enjoy now.

Crvrider:
At least some of the app companies are beginning to send out emails effecting changes with regards to fares. It may not be much but this goes to show that the ehailing companies are following trends but instead of taking a stance some drivers who I see as cheerleaders would rather insult those who are trying to make their voices heard over issues that will also benefit them.

Now that fare prices are beginning to go up will they now say they don't want the fare increase?

ReadaDream:
Cheerfulgiver, is the insult really necessary? Bro you can pass your message without the insults. Except someone comes at you in such manner, I don't see any reason why you should.

CheerfulGiver:
They always do and I don't like taking prisoners. I kill on the battlefield. I'm not sorry

Peace is not an option.

YeyeGbami:
Don’t be fooled, this new fuel price na die. Even with 50k daily net na real struggle.

E just be lyke say my car dey chop fuel, no more AC while idling. Na under tree sure pass.

Another increase!!

Viking07:
The strike has been a tremendous success. Almighty bolt increased their fares 3 times under 7 days. Uber increased their own for the 2nd time today. This is despite the very “hardworking” Nairaland drivers who always claim to make profit. 😆 But sane drivers protested and we’re making progress. Even though the prices are still unbalanced.

The next push is a total reduction of commission to 10% on all apps in Nigeria. We’d continue pressing their neck on Monday. I was at the protest ground today and the number of Corollas I saw, I’ve never seen it in my life. 😁

Kudos to all those who stood on the side of truth and made their voices heard on different platforms. From Lagos to Abuja to Kano to Delta, Ibadan, Kwara etc. Una well done . 🙌✌️

Nice submission, however the commission they started out with was not 25% , it gradually increased , also it is not 25% globally. I did a Google search for Paris,France and what it showed me was 19% (you can search it yourself ) I have tried uploading it but it is not loading .

davit:


Anyone notices that fuel price has increased too? Those selling 488 now sell 495. 490 is now 510 in Lagos.
