Pls acknowledge when you done reading all my messages now and subsequently so I can delete them. The information I'm providing here is the kind of stuff they use in effective therapies abroad and it cost thousands if not millions of dollars abroad. It something a lot of extremely successful/wealthy people use to stay successful. I'm only putting this up here cos I don't want you to commit suicide.

Hmmm, this paragraph is very intriguing 🤔

I just perused your profile, you seem to be involved in many things. Yesterday you were a stock market analyst, tomorrow you're a real estate mogul today you're a psychiatrist

Well, any sort of help the young man can get here is welcome 🙏

Lol. You can say that again Obinoral, the used female pants seller. You can run but you can't hide. You think if you use another moniker, I can't figure you out? Xtreme goat. Coward hiding under cover. One more word and I will post everything about you here.

Useless man The only thing you can do is to snap pic and post while screaming the person's name lol 😆

You think everybody is a criminal like you that is hiding from people chasing him no wonder you're this useless.

I have long come to the conclusion that it's not about the money for a lot of drivers, it's the "rep" that's eating them. The perception that they're "ordinary Uber drivers". That's where I think the issue is otherwise why are we always arguing about numbers? Numbers don't lie.
Na inferiority complex and low self esteem don give them chokehold

Lolzzz... Painment, all I see is u having a mental meltdown psychological breakdown, and emotional damage. What u feed on is the grief, tears and complains of drivers.
All of una wey don chop witchcraft for this thread angry and bitter at peoples success will get what u deserve one by one. What u

He's the chief witch on this thread it's good that everybody has seen his uselessness sha, those he swindled have since regained their senses.

Only the few 'haters' that remain on this thread still look up to him to make them feel alive all of them are cowards who hide behind burner accounts to troll those who are far better than them I every ramification.

I always pity him whenever cheerfulgiver comes around to konk his bald head

I get you point, everyone is impacted by the circumstance of the economy but an office person probably can respond better to factors that threatens his income in a more steady manner or long term plan. That is why most banks will rather loan funds to an employee than a small business owner.

See examples of control -

- an office person can has a base pay he can use to plan long term. If you are earning 100k a month, all things being equal, you are able to better project than someone who could earn 200K one month and 20K the next month because his car is faulty of lastma seized the car.

When the petrol price goes up, an office person can actively target hybrid or remote roles to cut costs. They can move closer to their place of work. As an ehailing driver, petrol price goes up and undercuts your profits, you are more constraint and can only respond in a limited manner. You are dependent on the ehailing platform to raise prices. You may try to do offline or some other things to push prices higher, but that could cost you your place in that platform which makes it risky.

cheerful being on rental does not add up. Except the leasor is operating at a loss, cheerful's profit is being undercut by the leasor. Not forgetting the leasor likely has restrictive covenants that limits the free use of the car to pursue his aims.

It's like tinubu claiming to save trillions from oil & FX subsidy removal and yet going on a borrowing spree in spite of high oil prices. It doesn't add up.

Lets look closely at the points in my prior post shall we?

1. Lowest fuel costs

2. Lowest/No maintenance costs

3. Lowest rental fee compared to other alternatives

4. No need to spend intensive capital to buy/acquire said rental type of vehicle

1. Downgrading his work tool (vehicle) from having a 1.8L engine to one that has a tiny 0.9L engine results to an over 50% savings on fueling alone. This means he makes more cash per kilometer than before.

2. The lessor is in charge of all maintenance on the vehicle in question (emphasis on ALL) which means he spends zero naira on maintenance and only has to make out time once in a while to undertake such a procedure. You know how high the prices of regular maintenance materials have increased recently?

3. Paying circa N9,500 to N10,000 daily is a fair amount for rental remittance based in the factors outlined above. Some others on rental pay lower but still end up spending more on fuel and the eventual vehicle's maintenance whenever the need arises.

4. A similar vehicle as that in question being leased would cost circa N28 Million naira new and to see a good tokumbo would cost between N5 Million to N7 million as its purchase price. Nigerian used can be gotten for maybe less but definitely higher than N3 Million naira with its accompanying issues which must be sorted out before it's use.

Then concerning your submission below

cheerful being on rental does not add up. Except the leasor is operating at a loss, cheerful's profit is being undercut by the leasor. Not forgetting the leasor likely has restrictive covenants that limits the free use of the car to pursue his aims.

It adds up when you come to the realisation that the said individual does not plan to be an ehailing driver all his life so why spend so much on the vehicle itself (remember the vehicle is only good for minimising fueling costs while hustling, it has limited space and power for regular personal/family use) and spend more on regular maintenance when you can just rent it for a period of time to achieve your set goals after which you return the vehicle by terminating its contract at the realisation of your goals? I know you might say he should have bought the vehicle for himself, finish with his hustling and then rent it out further or sell it to recoup his investment but then not everyone is cut out for such practices in the first place. It's an individual decision plus his lessor has thousands of such contracts/vehicles on the roads so running at a loss won't matter much since they are operating on a large scale.

I myself have been independent and employed so I know the differences between the two circumstances and in my opinion it's not a one shoe fits all kind of decision. It is an individual decision that must be respected by all no matter what divide you fall on. As for having access to loan facilities, both employers and financial institutions will grant you loans if you have a steady inflow of cash in you account be you a salaried or business man. Just show your statements and the rest is history so I don't see why the idea of borrowing money will factor in such a decision (unless you'd want to argue that ehailing drivers aren't business men in which case I'd say you should reconsider your opinion on such a matter)

That someone earns 500k monthly, save a quarter of it for rainy days/projects, run his household and bills with the rest then can still borrow millions from his employer to repay over many months is not bad BUT it is not a solution for everybody. Example, an SSCE holder who has no tertiary education but has a skill . . . DRIVING is his skill, it is because if people like this person that we have such a thread as this. If you have degrees and certifications then you can consider other employment opportunities unlike our unlearned friend with just a school cert

So in essence all I'm trying to say is that it's an apples to oranges comparison that should never be a talking theme of this thread. There is a job/vacancy section for such discussions elsewhere on this forum 🙄

TheModerator:
Typical armchair analysis bereft of any sense as per usual. You agree with everything he says and does, wether right or wrong. Yet you haven't picked up one of those moove cars and resign from your low paying job, since driving moove cars by cheerfugiver is now the new gold rush. Mumu.

Mschew everybody you managed to bewitch to follow you with your lies and libels are now regretting you even turned around to insult over half of them after they realised your uselessness on this thread

Abeggi, miss me with your failure and bulshitz jor. Go and frolic with your fellow failures elsewhere

Atk1nson:
Probably for many years now cheerful has indicated (with strong evidence) that he does a million a month.

Why would he be on rentals? Something's not adding up.

Generally though, the problem with fast money is that without discipline, it goes fast also.

The greater challenge with the business is that you have little control over how it goes. You don't control the price of petrol, the price of cars, the cost of servicing, government regulations, fares offered. It makes the driver very dependent on the factors outside his control. While drivers are often very industrous, the inability to control many factors in the business makes it a bit challenging to plan long term and leverage the business to do other things.

An office person, though may earn less has more control over how things go and has a large pool of employers he can switch to to hedge his risks. The presence of some sort of control, gives the office person better leverage to plan long term and more easily make moves.

I am still trying to understand this control you speak of in your last paragraph is it the type of control we had when fuel price jumped from N185 to N600 or when the cost of transportation to and from the office trippled overnight? Or when food prices quadrupled over a space of one month? Or when kids schools and landlords increased their fees? Or now that we are still waiting for those in charge to implement the minimum wage increament? what is your own definition of the word CONTROL ?

And for your information, the simple reasons that made cheerfulgiver consider taking up a rental was

1. Lowest fuel costs

2. Lowest/No maintenance costs

3. Lowest rental fee compared to other alternatives

4. No need to spend intensive capital to buy/acquire said rental type of vehicle

Why do you think those who mocked him for his sound decision over 8 months ago are now falling over themselves to apply for the same rental deal he is currently enjoying? Even those with their own personal vehicles are not able to accomplish what he is accomplishing upon having sole ownership and control of their own vehicles.

Getting and controlling fast cash is an individual thing, if you aren't cut out for it then you need to work on yourself rather than blame the cash for coming in too fast

AutosAbuja:
How do I do this? My car is a Canadian model.
Thanks

Some people have the tools to decode the Canadian specs vehicles for a small fee, Example the bestrades guy who usually advertises his business here from time to time

Safe trip tojahh, we will see on that side once I'm free to join you

AutosAbuja:
I never had my car's original O2 sensor. Must have been swapped out with a fake. So, now I don't have the part number. And the Chinese merchant insisted the chassis number will not help to get the correct part for the car.
Do you know anyway to get the part number?

If your vehicle is an American model then use your VIN number to get the complete details of your car and know it's factory fitted options and sensor types

Pls don't LEAVE and NEVER EVER pander to the mob!!!Whatever you do, pls do not allow anyone THINK for you ....You see Conner, would you even want your enemy to be like that?

dapotemi:
Maybe "insult and curse" comes with the environment he's operating! I might be wrong tho. You can't even call a gardener stupid here...
For me, using vulgar words speaks to what is within than what is outside... Sometimes, when we are going tru some personal battle, no matter how we hide it, it shows even in our manners ...I have been there before. ..Reason why I won't respond in like manner ..We can only pray for our enemy as Jesus commanded..
On a lighter mode sha, if I Sabi converse all that English, I con still dey shout "Ketu ojota mile 12 kodu ooo" no be wahala be that.
Please, enjoy the rest of your day.
Adupe.

See this hypocrite

Imagine this is someone who usually greets me with unwarranted abuses once a week . . . Is he the same person opening his mouth to say these things?

Well I no blame you, as you don jam person wey sabi give you RAW na why you no waste time pick race

If you know you want to be like cheerfulgiver don't talk too much, just quietly RAISE YOUR HANDS

pope191:
Conner44 you deh worry 😂 truth be told I don’t hold grudges and I honestly don’t take here seriously serious. I can’t even remember if we ever heard altercation, but I remember the boss own and it was at the heat of it. Life is deep, they say it comes in turn, Who’s next in line? All these rat race and struggle will eventually end somewhere, but I feel some respect should be put on his name and not to be use to drive needless point.

About not quoting you was never intentional. I just don’t have anything to say on the matter that interest you. The fuel usage won’t make any difference. The app that is hottie won’t make any difference. What I gross or if I still drive won’t make any drive. I am just at that point where nothing move me. Nah my personal problems I deh reason now. The Job is good or bad is a matter of perspectives, all man should face their problems.

Life they say comes in circle. We are all function of another function and I guess that’s why we are here. So everyone is valid boss. I hail

It's okay 👍🏾 I understand. It's just that many people here also knew him on a personal level, a few from even way way back when siena was the 'celeb' here. I patronised him on some occasions when I needed specialist work done till when he said he won't work on my car again while still helping me in other ways via proxy.

In my opinion, if his name isn't being used in a derogatory way then it's not that big a deal.

More data to your phone sir

Data isn't my problem

My wrists ache a little after typing so many words on my small phone

Jacksonfire:
What do u expect from a jobless blockhead lummox, who can support anybody, even if the person is guilty of some allegations. Just bribe him with 50 naira he will automatically becomes your puppet

He did the same thing with me, searching for old post for corroboration to back up his claims..

Who are you? What old post am I looking for? Your account was created a few weeks ago and the only posts you've ever made are those abusing people here

You and the other trolls we manage here have the exact modus operandi when it concerns post time line and history

1. Create a fresh account

2. Come to uber thread

3. Immediately start causing a ruckus

It's like clockwork

obinoral1179:
I still wonder how you guys sit down and type all this long epistle and you do so back and forth without stress.....if you are less busy why not watch a movie or or sleep but I noticed most people that write long post don't drive or are on vacation.... Who gets time to dry reply insults when you are dragging for trip on indrive... DJdamian when is our next giveaway?

Weekends is usually gbas - gbos time here for me

We who don't currently drive have mini vacations on days like this so we use that time to write bible passages ✍️ 😏

dav1002:
Its like, in your opinion for dav1002 to chop giveaway here is a taboo but everyone else can do so and there will be no emotional trauma on your mind

If you still carry anything against me in your mind I suggest you find a way to cleanse yourself of it without involving me as I have absolutely nothing against you

Dey play
You go explain tire no evidence

dav1002 lol 😆 you know why I like you? You just throw your weight anywhere belle face and don't really settle down to think things through before pitching your tent on whatever divide you fall on when it concerns matters here.

On the telegram group you act normally and we talk well but once it's on this faceless forum your fangs immediately fly out of your mouth it's really a funny phenomenon to behold.

What? You thought I didn't know who you were over there? I've known for a very long time but I respect that space too much to start chuukin you pin 📌 there because that's a place for serious minded people.

Focus on what you want to achieve. You've figured out your issue and you are contemplating a solution. I suggest you go ahead and grasp it in a timely manner.

Of course you can choose to deny or disbelieve what i say just as you denied your name and it is still all good.

The only issue I have with you is what you did to cheerfulgiver. It was bad. I expected you to at least try to show a bit of remorse but its like you will rather the ground opens up and swallows you first . . . Hopefully it won't come to that before you behave like a man you claim to be.

Good luck 👍🏾

dapotemi:
Ah you dey remember 8 month ago, 3 weeks ago etc.....God abeg...
Wait, what's this all about? You remember you had altercation with someone you don't know his real name, his colour, nothing about him, on a faceless forum, 8 month ago!!!
Na so d thing deep for here, haba nau..
Some of u are dealing with deeper/personal issues in ur real life..Always obvious when u write bro

In all I posted did you read any line where I dropped a debasing word towards him? I spoke to him respectfully wether he deserved it from me or not because I still don't know exactly what he carries in his mind concerning myself. you yourself abuse me on a normal here but i have no qualms with that due to how you feel about me which is entirely your own cross to bear

Unlike most here, I'm no coward . . . I say what is needed whenever its needed. Why you see me here bringing this up with Pope is because i wanted clarity. I felt since he could break his months long protocol to bring himself to finally mention me concerning gazzuzz then maybe it was a genuine plea hence my understanding at the time BUT when others started doing exactly what I did just hours after I did it and Pope saw no reason whatsoever to make 'pim' . . . 😒

Let's just say I believe he indirectly tried to instigate a rift with that post he made to me back then That's how I now feel today but it's all good. Since he sees no reason to explain anything to me I won't speak anything of it anymore.

To each his own

pope191, how far? You know that you and I don't mention or quote each other ever since we had a small altercation here over 8 months ago but on that fateful day 3 weeks ago you suddenly became bold and mentioned me because you saw I wrote gazzuzz's name here in a harmless post.

After I saw that your mention (and getting over my initial surprise) I then empathised with you and apologised for it and let the matter rest. I have never mentioned his name again ever since that day till now just because I decided to accord you some respect.

Since then, there have been some occasions where other members here have written that same name to drive their own points. There was even a time it happened and I decided to call your attention to it just as I did today but you remained mute . . . Why?

Its like, in your opinion for conner44 to mention gazzuzz's name here is a taboo but everyone else can do so and there will be no emotional trauma on your mind? I ask because that same week you chastised me for doing it 2 other people we know here did it too but you kept mute someone else did it here again yesterday and the day before but you also threw your eyes away from their post.

The below is a link to the exact post that made you quote me that day

https://www.nairaland.com/2653841/uber-partner-lagos-please-share/5816#132322000

The 1st pic below is an excerpt from the paragraph that warranted your call out that day.

The 2nd pic below is your query and my reply.

You can read and decide to ignore (just as you've always done over the months) and I won't judge you. If you still carry anything against me in your mind I suggest you find a way to cleanse yourself of it. I have absolutely nothing against today you for you to single me out for your own selfish reasons here.

I have asked if you've finally gotten over gazzuzz's demise to allow others write his name without any reaction from you but you have kept mute as usual . . .

Okay 👍🏾

Pope how far see wetin I been read yesterday or thereabouts below in bold wey i don dey wonder if you miss 🙄

Imagine saying we are just drivers and we can't understand how business work, this guy must really think he's the most educated person in this life, that was how you were trying to talk down on gazzuzz (RIP) for ignoring to sell you a car cox you were beginning to stress that young man... [/b]

If you've finished your personal mourning, please remember to tell me so I can also join others and use him as a reference without making you feel bad okay.

Damian, you frustrated Eric to extent he paid you off to not have anything to do with you
And you frustrated gazz that he decided not to talk to you until I plead on your behalf.

Pope i'm just pointing the instances out to you in case you missed them before . . . With full respect as a cleric wey you be for here I also expect you to accost them on this matter the same way you did to me 5 minutes after i made that my own post

Well, unless you have finally gotten over the tragedy OR you had another reason for reprimanding me the way you did then 😉

I believe this is the second time I'm drawing your attention to this kind of matter within the last 14 days.

Theres this popular saying, "what is good for the goose is supposed to also be good for the gander" or something along that line 🤔

Anyhow sha, keep enjoying your weekend
