You don't need to be a mechanic to know that wrong use of oil will damage the car ... you don't need to go to college to be rich .. Common sense should apply in all these people we do .. You don't need to be a genius to knw that hybrid or electric cars will not work in the Nigerian environment...

My brother I tire at times very tiring ... to the point of giving up on people o ...at times I want hit my head for wall .. I just tire .. I get one person saying hybrid is best for uber ,which is true ..but naija no fit maintain normal car ,nay Hybrid dey want maintain. After sell market for hybrid self ,if u dash am out people go ran away from u .. They go tell u say u don't want them to prosper in life ... things like this I just tire ..I tire bro no be small ...

If you drive for a living then you will know that driving isn't easy therefore you need to always take a break even if the car is urs or u are on rental especially if it's In a very unorganized and traffic laden city like Lagos. Dangote that you mentioned in ur post does he drive for a living? Driving is a very strenous work and it weakens the brain and gradually drains the body out. Even Chisco bus drivers take breaks how much more a ridesharing driver.. well, ur comments atimes make me want to believe that you are yet to understand this work irrespective of the fact that you own vehicles on the platform.

dru23:
And I express the reality of an hybrid ..... I agree with you 100% that hybrid is the best choice for Ehailing, but the reality is that the resale value is what you have to think about... before you go get person that will buy a Nigerian used hybrid, and even if you dash for free ,nobody go take am .. Hybrid will not tolerate any form of abuse.. And we Nigerians we like to abuse our cars ..that is the reality.. Hybrid is good , but can you maintain it ,do we have mechanics that can fix ,do you money for the parts etc . If you can successfully answer those questions than people should import them ... At times I see civic hybrid for $500 run and drive. But reality and common sense will not let go near am

I don't do eatery ooo. I rather cook myself And fill it with plenty meat.

xana101:
lol. Me I take break like federal govt. sometimes I do Uber once in two weeks. Sometimes I also do d 7 days stretch. Just as d spirit leads. Uber work is not something u do everyday except u are on rental.

dru23:
Nigerians can barely maintain car ,so nay Hybrid dey want maintain ... I spoke to one guy that drives a Prius he said cost of the Prius alone when it brakes down no be easy thing.. He stated that they way he maintains his car it will be hard for others to do am ... you seems to be a very hard working young man.. So hopefully you too can get your own hybrid too..

Buy a Tokunbo Honda Civic 2005 for between 1.1m to 1.3m, use and sell as Nigerian used car for between 600k to 800k
Buy a Tokunbo Toyota Corolla 2005 for between 1.7 to 1.9m, use and sell as Nigerian used car for between 1.1m to 1.3m
In both cases, the car sold for about 500 to 600k less than Tokunbo price

Now, talk to me again about second hand value.

PS: the above statement assumes that both vehicles are properly maintained

RideArena:
We have partnerships with several dealers...and we can can get you one for that price when you're ready.q

Mr nice guy forming bricklayer and 22 years old.smh.he go soon make mistake expose himself

pope191:
With all due respect my oga, I am not holding him, I don't even believe he is not an imposter, so I spit out my mind from a direct and general view, waiting for his response. 10 partners obviously do not speak for all, but I don't like luck, I prefer figures so I don't involve in uncalculated risk, for me a bird in hand is far worth going for an unforseen circumstances, like you will never appreciate that 1 naira in your hand until you lost it in search of 3 naira.

On hawking: I know or a pepper seller, that have been able to send her children to university and build a house using profit from what she sells, same goes for a charcoal seller. What I'm about to type is wrong to me, but let me drive my point and burst ur bubble... There is a man that hawk plantain ard first gate on lateef jakande road, when I learnt he built his house doing that, I took a second look at him, so life is relative, do yours and let other people be. Imagine what's life for someone that felt he have arrived with a daily target of 3k including his expenses, I'm not saying there is no room for improvement, but a wise soul coming from where he claimed will have some level of apprehensiveness in them and not total anticipation.

Williams004:
Oga abeg help me explain. I no wan assume here.

Williams004:

Extremely wicked heartlessness people na them plenty pass for this Shithole. Imagine!!!

People have been taking airport cabs and yellow cabs (which were expensive) since forever. tell me bro, how were yellow cabbies making their monies..i remember how they used to do shakara untop dead rickety car ooo, yet you will beg dem to agree to carry you ..do you know alotta does men have built their houses from driving yellow cabs before uber came? tell me who paid for their fares?

Bro when uber started, do you know how much the drivers and partners were making? im not saying that the fares should not be cheap but HABA ..this cheap?

Every sound business man tries to knock down price to build more clientele reach but these fares are ridiculous..very very ridiculous..if these fares are increase a little bit, trust me no rider will go anywhere...people love the comfort as well as the cheap fare but when taking okada or other uncomfy means of transport becomes more expensive than taking an aced car then i begin to worry.

its simply because the drivers are not together plus the high employment rate hence this expliotation by these companies..Nigeria is their goldmine..

Festac to VI can be 3300, is that too much to ask? even the 4k sef rider will go..abi how much airport cab wan take? iz better to do less than 20 trips in a month and make 100k than doing 100 trips in the same time frame and make same amount. atleast depreciation go slow.


The fares are ridiculously cheap..too cheap

Stealth100:
This is so off point. Prices were never 4000 from festac to VI. Why should it be now? That's not the kind of increase we are talking about. Maybe 20-25% increase from what we have now. Festac to VI should not be less than 3k.

uboma:
It is getting more interesting.

radautoworks:
One of what? Look at your receipt. You sure it's not the one with stop-leak? These are plain refrigerant without stop-leak. The part numbers for these ones are z134 and 3012v. What part number is on your receipt?

radautoworks:
This is the good stuff not the garbage they send to Nigeria. Z134 N4,700. R134a N4,150

darmilolah:
I will no longer engage you. My Oga don talk. Quote me and watch amadioha strike your balls

jesusson2020:
I know your frustrated, let me help you a bit with little advice.

First of all forget about your wife that abandoned you, she is probably bleeping other men and having good fun, while you're here fighting depression.

Stop drinking alcohol is not a solution.

That Kia Rio you wanted to buy with 350k loan, is not a solution. You will end up adding more frustration.

Set 2 years target for saving. But laziness will not allow you to achieve this.

Finally the problem is your age, at 40+ you're still at this level, only Jesus can rescue you.

Epphy:
Really? But you always claim you are an OBO na. Has that changed?

MoonlightDrive:
Please House, as tomorrow is the deadline for payment for Bolt Shield.
Why is bolt shield not optional, why are are drivers and partners not challenging this act of exploitation.
If you want to insure your phones and personal belongings there are insurance companies that provide such coverage so why must Bolt shield be mandatory.
What is bolt biz if i decide not to insure my phone and if the shield also covers your health, there are hmo that are setup for such.
Since we drivers and partners are not bolt employees why the insistence of having a bolt shield, in which Bolt are the direct beneficiary.
Why is there a shield for bolt but none for uber?
