Felicity001:
Which reaction u dey wait for? Lagosians have already accepted the reopening nothing is stopping them come 1st of April. The traffic as already started, in the past 3weeks now the traffic has always been from Gerrard Rd down to the roundabout.

This is why I will always support PDP over APC, yes the people are the same but the party ideology are not the same.

PDP has a democratic ideology while APC is the opposite, they lack respect for tye rule of law, no value for human right and life. Tyranny is their way.

Nigeria will never move forward should APC continue to rule this country

deedee44:
There's no reaction anywhere bro, people have looked away as usual

It’s so sad, I’m sure they’ve gone to visit some stake holders like them falz and key guys on social media to not encourage any protest.
And they own the agberos and touts all over Lagos those ones won’t move an inch.

So sad some people lost their life’s

northbird:
Ikoyi toll bridge.... Starts on 1st April. Will the old cards work? or it has to be a fresh application. Anyone with recent updates.

Modified : I just checked up their website. lcc.com.ng. I saw you can check your balance too. I checked now on the website quoting my 6 digit number, it shows I still have a balance with them. That means the card and account number are still valid.

I can’t believe they will just open the toll gate like that ?
No more opposition
The traffic will resume
The spending (toll fare ) will resume
They can’t even wait for 2yrs?

Make I wait to see reactions of Lagosians

[quote author=YeyeGbami post=111471042][/quote]See wetin dis Comrade dey do

You head dey there
We see wetin u do for cbn and after you sanusi continued but since then Na figure head cbn we get

Johnnybegood12:
Swear say u no knw me

I know you naah...
that’s why I said the people in the telegram group are shy to talk that they are still netting 100k easily week in week out.

A barely literate car owner talked about you guys few days ago

Pls post ur March dashboard to shut the mouth of lazy drivers complaining.

pope191:
It is nothing, I was raised to believe all children are mine.

All children ?
Anybody that brings a baby to you and say it’s yours, you will accept and believe it?
Is Tuface your Mentor?
Or you are in dsame wazapp group with Davido.

Well it is good
Na so Tinubu born him daughter at age 9. Now d daughter is 61yrs and Tinubu is 71yrs old.

VaselineCrew:
They are heartless bro, real talk!

I really need to go dust off my other skills cause I had almost abandoned them, but it’s not worth it. I will definitely persevere by Gods grace in learning new skills, cause sometimes, you reach a point while learning new stuff that it all seems soo complex.

Maybe if I haven’t been blocked in the near future, I will do this on the side for money for chin chin or something.

One month I grossed 110k, and when I did the math, my take home was like under 50k. Sometimes I try to close my eyes to the math and just drive, but the math doesn’t lie, after you remove 25.6% commission and petrol.


As they say, “Men lie, Women lie, Numbers don’t.”

One month or one week = 110k ?
Or you mean 1.1M?
You must be a very lazy driver even lazy Doctor donfortune48 is better than you.
Unless it’s 1.1million and your keyboard is used to thousands. (Sapa keyboard)

The reality of the hustle is becoming visible that the blind n deaf can see and hear.

pope191:
Baz001 hafa? Shay 3m fit carry man enter Canada like this? Naija don tire man

Who is the little girl they are talking about,
You be baby daddy ?
You don’t need money to relocate , just look for a female staff in Canadian embassy and have a chat with her...
Ladies can say no to you

One driver was making 1 million per month just work for 3 more months and make it 6 million.

How come he’s looking younger and only his beards is old ?
Even though most people here don’t know him
( indomie generation but they will be the first to comment . )

Abroad just sweet, his looking younger while his mates in Lagos are already using walking sticks and looking like grand pa.

ncnerio:
Bolt is just being clever by half. When you guys do advert of 100 thousand weekly and pay your yearly rent in One month you do total calculation of the whole gross. Intentionally being clever by half misleading comrades to go piss on thier boss heads. Uber add everything including booking fee under thier commission abi who bolt dey give the booking fee? Bolt add every money made including the so called service charge, thier commission, parking and toll fee as weekly/monthly earning to pay house rent.
I just pity who decide to follow the words of one or two people words say millions monthly of all the bunch of people saying otherwise... And pls nobody should even get me started on strategy dis and dat. From inception practically all strategy has be exhausted here yet someone will say you have to register something something. Una wado well well.

Pearl1910 uche must be from Ekiti or ondo dem stubborn well well and adamant.
One way - forward heart like stone

Abeg no kee me with laugh
...
but truly strategy dey and all d pple in dt telegram grp are still earning 100k easily week in week out as we speak . Only dt we don’t know any of them and they are to shy to speak

73O9:
Comparing your offer with a similar offer just like moove which is 37.5k, I would rather take a corolla of 2016 (1.8 engine) over a carry (2.4engine) 2004 for N40k.
I would also be given a phone to work with, and there is nothing like shared maintenance which will most likely come with your offer.

You first post about this vehicle was March 3rd, a good offer would not stay this long or a desperate driver had already taken the offer but dropped the vehicle after realising its not achievable especially this winter.

It’s still winter
In March winter ?
Have you updated your app,
Which side of Lagos are you,
Or you need to join the ant league?

I just thank God I’m not in Nigeria with all this news.

https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/dsnt.gif

See wetin Uber dey do here but won’t do or have not started doing in lag.

I lost or was looking for some items (went shopping had many packs/nylon but one was missing)
Unfortunately, I didn’t call or text this Uber driver at all, as I was already monitoring her on map.
Got home and items missing I tried calling her through Uber app immediately.
Gbam
1. Withheld $15 on my card reason ( i should I agree that if drivers bring the item back I will pay $15). She didn’t pick so I decided to use second option.
2. Text her through the app (same thing 15$)
Next thing they told me rider didn’t find anything in her car and I can’t hold her liable for anything bla bla bla long epistle.

Next time I will look under motor to be sure I didn’t forget anything.

Imagine if they do dis in Lagos ? All this sharp mouth girls go humble before they calm you back for charger or slippers.
If u see 6mins trip - $11.88 so expensive here

YeyeGbami:

Gentlelife50:
What is happening why is there surge everywhere?
I have been changing location since morning, what's going on? Abi na only me dey enjoy the surge?

Others have not updated their apps.
they are in wrong location cos the whole of Lagos is on surge.
Uche knows you are lazy and want you to jump from thousands to millionaire in a day so the blind can see...


https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/runf.gif

Gentlelife50:
That explains the heavy traffic on TMB, wahala plenty for this moving of Lagos things.

Stop complaining early this morning
You must be a kid still eating mama thank you.
Hard work is the key
Or you want to jump from 0 to 100?
discipline, hardwork and mentality so just go through 3rd mainland traffic inside your AC car.

Pearl1910:
This is a reasonable contribution...if this is what u always say, nobody will argue with u, Cos this is true.
This is significantly different from outrightly saying the work is not good, it's not worth it and discouraging people from doing it.

How will it sound if I point out that even guys that collect 500k per event buy camera worth almost N3million, collect and furnish studio with almost 2million, then pay salaries cos they can't do it alone just in the guise of making it seem like that 500k pay per event isn't worth it. How will it look? Or if I say how easy is it to get event every month?

So u see, for me, I feel if u find something that is profitable for u, go ahead and do it, if u like u can show others the way, if not just chop ur cake in peace.
A guy came and posted about Data Analysis, how he learnt it and how it helped him land an overseas job. That I think is someone who wants the best for others, he has told others what to do, and how to do it to enjoy a better life. Not just to come and be talking down on what people are currently doing and castigating it.

Mehn anybody that doesn't have a better alternative to this hussle should never come and talk trash about it cos it has done marvelous things that even the blind can see it . I am not saying it's d best thing anybody can do, or it doesn't have challenges, but my point is that it is profitable.

Comrade

dapotemi:
LOL, I dont want/advice anyone to VENTURE into ehailing..I do not think it's a good idea for a young man/woman to hussle to get a degree because he wants to be a driver...The STRESS/RISK is quite high....I also do not think it's befitting whether you make 10k everyday or not.
BUT, its should be some kind of a stop gap...You're out of job , you can quickly do ehailing for a while; you're out of sch,waiting for nysc/after nysc before you get a job, you can do uber! You have a job buy you're underpaid, you can quickly to uber as add-on..similar situations like that generally...But venturing, like you wake up in the morning and you decide this is what you want to do for the rest of your life, pls think twice....Shame no go catch you!

That has been my plea and cry and some people hated me for that. Saying I’m driving like ants upandan lagos and telling people not to join the hustle.
You can’t go to school do 4/5 yrs degree and be happy moving Lagos.

komodapson:
Yeah..Travelling outside the shores of his country has opened new frontiers. His eyes has opened, like when christ healed the blind.
I could remember Ushe, telling them not to go on vacation, not to go on break, blablabla. Telling them all that if they took such decision, who is going to move Lagos.

Just less than 10days ó in Dubai, his eyes don clear. What if God blesses him the more, he travels to Singapore, Paris, Los Angeles....his orientation changes...

That's why you see, when issues are propped up on this forum, Few can only comprehend what is being said, simply because of Hunger&Poverty that has beclouded their reasoning.

Now see the essence of exposure , GeneralZodd don kon dey wine&dine with Arabian girls, they discuss Gold bars, think big... rather than discussion of "gala in the sun" tales of uche
Its sad

Plssssss now
Stoppittt...
Are you saying some of folks here are not exposed.

Truly hunger Na bastard... I got here and realized I negotiated lower. It pained me now but when I got the job hunger and lack of jobs no make me think.
I don dey see clearly now.

But you get bad mouth... chaiii
When u see local girls doing snap in ur Uber car and updating status is same way some people will enter plane and be hmmm....
Mbok carry your bad mouth go. I no want trouble...

tunlapapa:
I stopped coming here ever since I stopped uber but mentions and thrills to know what's is happening keep me checking here once a while.

All my life I have known one is meant to compare yourself to higher people but other way here like comparing oneself to labourers, hawkers, etc. Anyway, I don't blame them as I don't know them personally and we have different career targets.

I read on this thread about someone that gave a motivation on data analysis which prompted me to search deeper.

Uche, as you always claim that taxi driving is the best job to happen to graduates, I hope there is career progression.

Now see what we call career progression here => https://www.nairaland.com/7037240/net-salary-data-analyst-scientist#111173121

Bro my prayer is that we don’t stay in the wrong hustle for too long to realize.
I spoke with one of my guys, ( last time we spoke was 6yrs ago) he started yabing me and beginning me not to do a job that will make me go to office physically and be running shifts and jumping trains and buses. He gave me two examples of some uncles that came to Yankee 10yrs before him and still doing two jobs and can’t even attend family functions unless you tell them ahead of time cos they can’t do without their jobs. ( mortgage don gulp money)

Long story shot I don register and started training (Saturday’s and sunday’s) on sunday I was dozing in class not enough sleep cos I was coming from work.

He said what I earn in a month... I.T guys like me earn in a week, working from home no stress.
I could have said nooo bros what I earn in a month Uber driver’s in Lagos can’t earn it in 6months don’t talk down on my hustle.

After health workers Na I.T dey chup money abroad now (after covid 19)

Cheddaz:
Shey na because some of us get the opportunity. Abeg go check factories for Lagos how much dem dey work from 7am to 6pm for just 15k a month, even people with families. Person talk say him net 25k in a day even if na intersate . How much dem dey pay all those intersate drivers sef?His hard earned legal money, una wan flog am. To make money easy? Cut a man some slack bro

I use to think like this before, always quick to console myself with someone struggling or lower class, until someone corrected me.
Why don’t you compare yourself to your mates/ junior doing better, working from home marking 800k a month or even photographers collecting 500k for one wedding and two weddings in a month 1M or guys that are doing farming and lounging, why factory workers or gala sellers.
I thank God for the opportunities and blessings but bro you should look around you guys don move, legit making cool cash.
I’m not flogging feli but stating that the work is not equivalent to the figures on dashboard.

When the number one man no write SSCe or certificate miss . How will he value university?
The other one warming up to be president prefers Touts around him than elites.
Agbero go take over abuja and ASSU will have to negotiate with agbero wet no go school .

rapheal5:
thank u boss how much e go cost me to fix it? u can give me the person's number incase I no see means tomorrow...

Call this man he’s around Clegg street close to Assemblies of God by VIO office after (under bridge ojuelegba.)
But Na oga he won’t leave his shop maybe he will send his boys to come loose it.
He will fix the components inside the alternator. I like changing damaged parts rather than repair but the man told me not to change it that he will change want warned out/coil in it. Till I sold the car, alternator no give problem again and Na 2k or 2.5k I give am then(3yrs)
Zero802three17497three
Na him dey change my Kickstarter bushing too, he also sells them.

2special:
Abulegba is in Lagos State

peeps4u:
LOL

Agenda must agend. Abule egba isn't even too far from Ikeja. This one wey you put Ogun state

Elders in the house which is closer ?
Is Abule Egba closer to ikeja or closer to Ogun state border line ?
Abule egba extreme to Ogun state
Lekki extreme to Epe/ijebu ode
Now back to Ibadan oyo state Tabi Ibadan no be oyo state ?
Then cross back to Lagos state. And next day 5am you fire down again
Mmmm keep painting it

Pearl1910:
Na wa oooo...not that people don't like to just lie down on the bed and be receiving alert o. But if we continue talking like this people will think we prefer to steal or do rituals to make money.
There is dignity in labour.
What is d stress there, From Abulegba to Lekki, Lekki to Ibadan , Ibadan back to Lagos to his house in Abulegba.
I will gladly do this everyday for 6days in a week/24days a month and Net 600k monthly easily.

Ehhh

From Abulegba (Ogun state)
To Lekki (Lagos state )
To Ibadan (oyo state)
Then Ibadan back to Lagos state
And to his house Abulegba (Ogun state)

You want to be doing this everyday for 25k (suffering and smiling )...

I finally give up on you.

Felicity001:
Vote, which difference? Guy stop talking like you're not in this country. Have you been following the electoral amendment bill lately?

Those people will always look for ways to keep themselves in power.

Vote or not we already know who our next president will be . Its so sad we are back to those years

Wait till PDP brings out their presidential candidate, then you will know that even in Apc they don’t like Tinubu. They prefer osinbajo to him and might displace him in primaries.
But whoever comes up is better than bubu.

donfortune48:
Mehn!!
Look at the stress you passed through In a single day just to net 25k.
Ironically, Nails on just two Tyres is enough to take the 25k away from you.

This hustle no easy oh!
May God prosper us; in good health.

That’s why I always ask how easy it is
My aim was to let a lot of newbies do there due diligence before venturing into the hustle but as it is the country is not helping matters at all, and men must work and eat. But some jobs are easier than others.

Make God help us make we no dey d wrong hustle for too long.

donfortune48:
Lolzz.

What do you expect from someone that increases his fleet of cars every year but still have only 3cars on his fleet since 2016?

Stoppiittttttt you and gentlelife50 don start again

pope191:
Back to Base... Boss leave what I wrote regarding being at home, you don't know what I am doing, let the story be that.

When you say go and sleep and try to talk down on why I can't break through, is that a hug? Ohk! When next you are havin a chat with a soldier, tell him to go an sleep.


There's nothing to argue about, I am just flowing with reality here and trying to let the new ones be on guide. Seriously, you deh fall my hand, I would have say they should promote you to kindergarten, but that will be harsh of me. Net is total profit after expenses has been deducted from gross profit. Normally we don't use to include cost of fuelling here, all we care about is what you get after commission. Since you want to sound smart, let me be your guest. Since when did you start using 4k gas to gross 20k? Tot we use 3k gas to gross 18k and inbetween, is the 4k with or without surge?

Now back to basic elementary, 20k gross, 25% commission you never agree Bolt is takin and 4k gas, how did you arrive at 10k or you meant to say 5k for gas? If yes! When did you start using 5k gas to make 20k. Do this maths again and state actual figures, nothing like nearly in mathematics. Do you even add other expenses like days you have to spend more than you bargain for as expenses? Or you want to deny they are days we don't have to spend unwarranted 2k, 3k week in, week out on car?

On the flip side... please, how many driver's out there grossed 20k on Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday this week? 5 witness please. Let's be honest with ourselves.

Now if you are driving on Bolt with surge and you have to gross 20k daily? Damn! I know how many trips you will have to complete to get that. Bros, I'll advice you to rest small.

Two people don post dashboards
Driver 1. The real Oga at the top (it’s dodo, rice and beans to net 20k on bolt)
Driver 2. Newbie & part time just like kanuisagoat (but drivers more than full time) Abuja based.
Both no gross 15k on Tuesday

Comrades I just dey observe and come in peace
