GAZZUZZ:
Last nite I had real time experience of what drivers go thru on the road.

I closed @ 6pm, was about leaving the workshop when I decided to turn on my uber app. I saw surge right where my workshop is located. I received first trip almost immediately but it canceled after a few mins. I then decided to drive a bit while waiting for next request. Got one on oba-akran (by then Dynamic pricing had left the building)drove to mangoro area picked a rider to lekki phase 1 (home of surge) trip was fantastic cause we had to look for ways around traffic (much longer routes)before 11pm I had completed 6trips @ over 10k. It was time to go home. Set destination back to mainland and it popped the Mumu network stability error try again another time. So I decided I will leave it on and cancel any trip not going my way. I was deep inside ajah heading home when I heard an uncomfortable sound from the serpentine belt area.....

I ignored it... by the time I got close to lekki phase 1 round about I had the battery light on with the engine running, stiff power steering and rapidly climbing coolant temperature values.

I am driving my Avensis 1998 2002 and it uses a 3piece belt. I turned off all major electrical gadgets except the engine (head lights, DVD systems, airconditioning) I used the hazard lights instead.

I stopped accessed the damage and realised all 3 belts had been ripped of by the larger belt.

Got back into the car and drove to a well lit area where I could see a few cars parked.

Immediately I parked the HNIC came out of the dark, I addressed my self as Captain gazzuzz of kano pillars international HNIC became calm, I told him my war was going to sleep in his care and I would pick it up in the morning, he had no problem with that.

I called one of my colleagues on the phone, and in a matter of minutes, a 407 with a horse whip on the dashboard appears, I bullied the driver to the passenger side and drove to workshop.

Got to workshop picked up another vehicle and headed home.

got to gate and seems the security guy was in a valentine spirit. Did everything possible to wake him up, my guy no appear.

So I turned on my app and headed to magodo as instructed by my Oga in the business. True to his words lagos started moving again, this time back to lekki.....

2 more trips, then I headed back to area where my faulty vehicle was parked.

I didn't allow HNIC see me, I located another area where I saw over 20 toyota corrola cars with drivers inside all sleeping

Any way I said to my self, this area must be safe.

turned off app set chair low and got some shut eye.


I knew my serpentine belt was a bit frayed, but I had been procrastinating for almost a year now on replacing it, finally my village people Got me on 14 Feb.


Moral of the story

Keep vehicles as sound as possible. Replace all faulty parts as soon as you notice to avoid disappointments like this.

And if you can, keep a spare in the boot.

True word bro === Keep vehicles as sound as possible. Replace all faulty parts as soon as you notice to avoid disappointments like this.

Lol i guess the 407 dash-boarded horsewhip driving colleague is Romeo3, kudos man

lekanlaniyan:
My brother, I dnt have the financial details for weekly but the rough (average)estimate I can give u is ;

(1) Monday - Friday (6pm-11pm)=#20,000.00@#3,500-#4,00 per day,
(2) Saturday-sunday (10am-10pm)=#20,000.00 @#10,000 per day.
(3) Total =#40,000.00
(4) expenses (recharge card, data, fuel, water and small chops)=#10,000.00
With the above calculation, you should be able to get #30,000.00 or more,that's if you work smart.


I hope this my rough calculations should help you.

Thank you so so much for this valuable info, i hope to enter the biz soon

lekanlaniyan:
To be sincere, the experience has been awesome. Meeting different kind of people, knowing places and having money in my pocket.

Passengers are cool and respectful but u have to always put a smile on your face and ask them if they need anything to make them more comfortable (music, AC, phone chargers)

Am using Honda DC.

I work 6pm-10:30-11:00pm ( Monday-Friday)
11am-10pm (Saturday-sunday).

Just side hustle after work.

Nice one thanks for the insight, i hope to work same time in the evening and possibly 7-11 AM, Is it realistic to expect a 30-40k weekly Net Income in Abuja driving my car?

lekanlaniyan:
Uber in Abuja is cool but Uber in Lagos is great. 7.1 surge . Let's move Abuja.

I am in Abuja too hoping to join you soon how has been your experience so far what vehicle do you drive? Are passengers picky?

GAZZUZZ:
drove 350km on Sat with my newly acquired ride, made roughly 30k. Used 25-28liters of fuel.

If I hear say driver no fit deliver ordinary 35k per week,
TFY


Carshopper, it's tested come carry go

See correct motor na, na to get sound car like this be d issue

deedee44:
To begin with, it's N60/km and not N55
Then where did u hide the N200 base fare and N11/min.
Using your 100km case study, some assumptions must be included so the calculation should look like...
60*100 = 6000
11*300 = 3300 (assuming it takes 5 hrs to complete 100km)
200*7 = 1400 (assuming it takes 7 trips to cover 100km)
Therefore gross = 10700
Net = gross - fuel (in the absence of other expenses)
.: net = (0.75 * 10700) - 2100 = 5925
Still a very low return on investment IMO

Ok yes indeed thanks for giving a more realistic perspective

iyaegin:
The General assumption is that whatever amount you spend as cost or total trips within a Monday- sunday Uber week should come to a minimum of ×2.5 Or x3 of what you spend on fuel.some using corolla even boast of x4 but inside that you still have to factor fuel for the fresh week.
I currently use a PUG 407 2.2 and fuel has been a major headache as the car is doing 18ltr/100km instead of an expected 10-12ltr/100km I changed my O2 sensor yesterday but yet to see marked improvement as yet but I just discovered the cat con was also removed but people and analysis seem to show it does not affect fueling but i would know by Saturday. SO What ave been doing is I take note of every fuel purchase for the week as against total recorded Uber trips right now am on x2 so am seriously struggling in my own case .
Hope that should be a better way for you to judge for your vehicle.although I also do a lot of personal trips of mine and am not a full time Uber driver...

Ok good info there tnx, i hope you do find a solution soon

GAZZUZZ:
10km - 1liter average

Ok looks good but im factoring in cars with 2.2/2.4 Engines e.g (Camry 2.4 and Pug 407 2.2) which should increase average consumption to assumed consumption at 14L/100km

GAZZUZZ:
nehi maranda

Worse in lagos. You can manage to get 10-1

HMMM u mean like 10 ltrs for every 1km Baba u wanna kill somebody?

GAZZUZZ:
driving a Picanto? You cannot get it in stop and go traffic on any car

Ahhh i expect a better performance on Picanto, im assuming with an example of an average of 14L per 100km consumption it could be worse or better

Guys im trying to figure profitability or not please help me out.
55naira per Km
Car counsumes 14L per 100km
assuming fuel price is at 150

Hence 14 * 150 = 2100 (Fuel cost)
55 * 100 = 5500 (Gross earnings)
0.25 * 5500 = 1375 (Uber commission)

2100 + 1375 = 3475 (Assumed total cost)

5500-3475 = 2025 (Profit or assumed Net Earnings)
Does that mean to get 20,250 Naira profit i need to drive 1000 KM?

azpekuliar:
Me sef dey find this engine..abeg if you see make I know...

MrMcJay:
Eeya, the Excos of that association are about to enter prison and they don't even know.

Section 12(4) of the Trade Unions Act states that
"Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Act, membership of a trade union by employees shall be voluntary and no employee shall be forced to join any trade union or be victimised for refusing to join or remain a member."
.

Wow i did not know this already exists, good to know this today

Lazyreporta:
Yes, there's a technical know how which is legit. 100%
