Try as much as possible to teach yourself the most you can teach yourself and fi d someone you can ask questions from when you are stuck. Many people are usually eager to just teach people a skill unless they have started learning it themselves, watch a lot of YouTube videos, do some reading on your own, try to watch classes on udemy and find a professional you can ask questions. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Im still considering your Rio and dru Civic as the ideal car for the bizness for now due to the price range

Go for Rio, better than civic cost wise and same fuel efficiency. You can still get a very good Rio for 800k.

Good morning guys. How does Uber/Bolt take their commission when the rider pays in cash? If they do from your current balance online, what if you have not have a card trip for sometime and they cannot deduct their commission from your account balance?

If you do not have a card trip for sometime and they cannot deduct their commission you would have a negative balance.

He may be found out within one week. Won't he take selfies or have a profile picture? Uber is a technology company and they always decode some of these tricks. He has to sort himself out or forget about using Uber. Same person, two accounts will be detected.

You are over thinking.

BlueBeard:
Good morning prestigious drivers and car owners. Please I'm asking this question for a very good friend. He was very active on Uber as a driver, but his account got deactivated the second time, after a high number of declining requests, and he didn't visit Uber office to sort them out. Now he wants to leave for the UK after this whole pandemic is out. Experts in the house, please do u think he can still drive on Uber when he gets to UK, despite his account bn deactivated here in Nigeria?

Thanks

Use new email and UK driver's license. He would be able to drive.

It is not profitable to drive cars 2.4liter and above in the e-hailing platform because of their fuel consumption.

The best cars to drive are mini coopers, yaris, kia rio, corolla, matrix, pontiac vibe 2003-2005, mirage, aveo and the likes.

Reading the past comments, it just really hurts me seeing Nigerians fighting each others like this. It just tells how far the country has deteriorated.

A lot of this fights and strikes can be avoided if we had a good government in place, the government would come into play by having a minimum take home for every worker. The minimum take home for every Uber/Taxify driver should be at least 100k a month, so if you are renting it would be less that that.

This fare matter could have easily been passed on to the government and the government would have been able to come to a reasonable fare considering the traffic condition and state of road in the state but this is not the case so all these multi nationals treat Nigerians with no respect which is very saddening.

Every Nigerian is their own government, fighting for their right and fending for themselves.

Please let us all get our PVC's and do the right thing.

SN: With this new rates even people with corolla's are having challenges meeting up with their remittance.

So if your wife tells your her boss is hitting on her, would you go and challenge the boss? Best case scenario, you would ask her to quit the job.

So if an Uber driver is hitting on your wife, let ur wife start using taxify and if it continues go ahead and get your wife a personal driver and if it stills continues be picking up your wife yourself, shebi you be uber driver.

The matter should not have been brought here, the driver should have been reported immediately and case should have been dismissed, you bringing the case here means you tolerate nonsense and if you tolerate nonsense you can do the above.

Most Nigerians can hardly maintain normal cars ...so na hybrid cars dey want use for uber and ehailing things.. I weep in secret for my fellow Nigerians ....

Guy, you no dey live for Nigeria and you dey tell us wey dey live foe Nigeria wetin dey happen for naija. If you no fit use am no mean say other people no dey use am.

Dovehorizon:
To the automobile juggernauts, do u think hybrid cars can survive on ehailing platforms...
My friend bought a toks 08 camry (hybrid) and 6k fuel, same fuel took him to imo state and back (lagos). He intends to put on ehailing platform but drive it himself.

So what do u think

A lot of Toyota Prius are already on the platform and doing excellently well. Don't delay and start making your profit with ease.

Gentlelife50:
I took some kids to school in the morning the Dad who requested for the ride wasn't around said he will tip me through Uber because they delayed me.
And according to him the fare (#700) is low, is it possible to tip a driver through Uber?
Abeg make una help a confused fellow.

This is possible only in the abroad.

Oil Labeling explained:

The basics:
All oils are intended for an application and in general are not interchangeable. You would not for example put an Automatic Transmission Oil or a Gear Oil in your engine! It's important to know what the oil's intended purpose is...

Most oils today are "Multigrades", which simply means that the oil falls into 2 viscosity grades which also means that the oil should be the same liquid form at different temperatures.

ie. 10w-40

The W stands for winter, while 40 is thickness or lightness. The higher the number the thicker the oil.

For extremely cold areas the perfect oil would be 0W40

For hotter area, 10W40 is great.

I hope we learnt a little from this.

Please send the vin number to the below email and a copy of the title front and back

The cost of shipping would be $800.

Email: oliadi@gmail.com

You can pay the $800 after the bill of lading is out.

You would have to deliver the car at the Jacksonville Port in FL.

After you send me a front and back copy of the title, I would send you the dock receipt that would let you be able to drop off the car at the Jacksonville port.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

It is now clear that partners are the most important piece in this business than the drivers because a partner owner can decide not to give his car to any driver and drive himself on his free time, whereas a driver without a car can never drive himself if the partner doesn't give him a car.

It is now a normal thing for drivers to act sober when collecting the car and change afterwards collecting the car by talking to you the way they never did before collecting the car.

Insurane = In Case shit happens.

An acumen businessman once said, if everyone is digging for gold... sell them shovels...

You would be staying illegally in the country for that one year, although you would still be able to go to school after or the school tells immigration that you are MIA. It is better to get the visa when you are ready to start school.

Guys and Ladies be smart ooooo..... No stopping at unauthorized places at the airports. You would be clamped and towed. A word is enough for the wise.

A Taxify driver, John Otuechere, who was wrongly accused by his passenger of stealing her bag and eventually tortured by the SARS operatives she reported to, has filed for charges over violation of his human rights.

The driver added that he was arrested, detained and tortured on the order of one Mrs Alice Isah.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Isah who came back into the country from training in Dubai on Sunday, July 15, had called the Taxify driver to pick her up from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport and drop her off at her residence on Lekki Gardens Estate, Lagos State.

Otuechere said while they were on the way, his car developed a fault which prompted him to park to examine the vehicle.

He said:

“We were on the Third Mainland Bridge when my car started making an unusual sound. I did not stop because it was dangerous; so I managed it until we left the bridge.

“I eventually parked beside a RRS Patrol vehicle to examine the car. While examining the car, a guy crossed over from the other side of the road to assist me. I don’t know him, but he said he was a mechanic, and we discovered that only one nut was left holding the tyre to the bolts on the driver side.

“The woman (Isah) at this point got down from the car to observe what was going on. She saw that we had to unscrew one nut from the other tyres to fasten the tyre on the driver side to the vehichle. I gave the man N100 and he crossed back to the other side of the road before we moved on.”

The 37-year-old driver said they had no other stopover till they got to Isah’s residence where they brought down her luggage. He said the passenger, at this point, discovered that one of her bags had gone missing.

Otuechere said he suggested taking her back to the airport to check whether she forgot the bag, adding that instead, Isah accused him of conniving with the mechanic to steal her bag.

He said:

“I told her that I would take her to the airport and back for free, but she insisted that she personally put the bag in the boot of my car.

“She held me and started slapping me, calling me a thief. One of her neighbours and the estate’s chief security officer accompanied her, and I was taken to the Ogombo Police Station.

“The second day, when the policeman who investigated the case suggested that we searched for the bag at my house and the airport, she said he was supporting me and she petitioned the state police command and the case was transferred to Ikeja.

“Immediately I got to SARS in Ikeja, a policeman, identified as Omoleme, hit me many times with an iron bar to make me confess in the presence of the woman. He said he would kill me and nothing would happen. I was in tears because of the pain; my blood was all over the floor and I was told to pull off my dress and start cleaning it.

“I was taken to the man in charge of SARS; when I tried to explain to him that I was innocent, he ordered his men to hang me because I was not saying the truth.

“SARS cell is a graphic picture of hell; I saw over 70 people inside one room and immediately I entered, I was welcomed with several blows, slaps and kicks.”

The Abia State indigene said it took the intervention of his lawyer before the SARS operatives agreed to search for the bag at the airport.

He added that the bag was eventually found and recovered at the airport where the woman forgot it.

Otuechere, whose two fingers had been broken during the torture, said he wanted justice and compensation for being humiliated and tortured for a crime he did not commit.

He said:

“When my lawyer saw my condition, she was annoyed with the officers for torturing me without investigation. She insisted that they should search for the bag at the airport; so a policeman went with my sister. I was told that the bag was found at the airport.

“When they returned, I was released. The woman has not called to apologise; even the officers of SARS did not apologise for torturing me without investigation. I want justice, I demand a written apology from F-SARS and Mrs Alice Isah for wrongful accusation, detention and torture.

“I also demand N10m compensation for my inability to provide for my family because of the torture.

Otuechere’s sister, Chika, said Isah was not remorseful of what she did to her brother after they recovered the bag at the airport.

Chika said:

“When we got to the airport, we went to where they normally put missing luggage. We didn’t even stress ourselves before we found the bag there. The airport officers told us that they picked it on the floor of the airport.

“The woman was not remorseful about what she caused. The SARS officers were even harassing me despite knowing that she was the one who forgot the bag.

“They broke my brother’s fingers because of this issue. I want the government to fight for us. They should end SARS, they are killers.

Isah, however, said she never took the law into her own hand, adding that she involved the police because she needed them to recover her bag which contained vital document.

Isah said:

“The car started jerking on Third Mainland Bridge and he stopped to examine what happened and discovered it was the tyre. I had to tell him to manage it till we left the bridge.

“After disembarking the bridge, one strange guy came and I saw them looking at the tyre. The driver told me that it was some missing nuts that caused the problem.

“When we got to my residence, we could not locate the bag. Because of those two stopovers and the strange fellow, I thought that that was how my back got missing.”

Isah said she reported the case at the Ogombo Police Station, where Otuechere was detained, adding that she reported to SARS because she urgently needed her bag.

“I was the one that went to the SARS to report. When they heard from me and John, they decided that we should go to the airport where the bag was found. I don’t know how to explain how I felt when I saw the bag at the airport. I did not torture him; I only reported the matter to the law enforcement agents because I wanted my bag.

“When we were leaving, they said we should bring our lawyers, so I went there with my lawyer and they exchanged addresses and phone numbers. I have been waiting to hear from my lawyer since then.”

The Lagos State Police Public Relation Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said Otuechere was not tortured.

He said:

“What happened was that a case of stealing was lodged against him at Ogombo division. Before investigation into the case could start, the complainant in the case moved it to another level of police investigation, which is SARS.

“Through diligent investigation by the F-SARS team, the missing bag was recovered. The Taxify driver was subsequently released on administrative bail. I must tell you on good authority that throughout the period of the investigation, he was not tortured by the F-SARS men.

“However, it must be noted that the suspect was roughened up a bit by a mob. For him now to turn around to put any form of blame on the F-SARS men who worked hard to recover the stolen bag is most unfortunate.

“Meanwhile, investigation into the case is still ongoing and efforts are on to identify and arrest the mob that attacked him before he was handed over to the police.”

Hello guys,

Keep up the good work on this platform.

To the guys that buy 15k engine oil, do you buy another 15k engine oil to top off your car when the oil goes down or you top off with 5k oil.

Looking forward to your feedback.
