People go just come here de posture like silverback gorilla talmbout "I'll be in my office" yet bolt fares don turn you to resident werey.
If something upsets you this much yet you're still hanging on to it then there's something wrong with you and it can't just be a case of Stockholm syndrome. I've even stopped trying to understand it sef.

I mean . . . Isn't it now glaring that the boy is simply a failed benin yahoo boy who is now in desperate need of help?

Omoapena even gave him lifeline to come to lagos and squat in his place and hustle this December to make something tangible BUT NO

Wacko jacko will instead chew dry garri while he rains his stale lexiCORN bullets on us here

Jacksonfire:
What do I expect from a failed miscreant like you when woman put for house they feed. Lolz.. dem don still trow small corn give you as usual.. dirty pig

Mschew abeggi, comot for road make I see front jor

Professor lexiCORNs

vivalavida:
Your gbedu no dey loud again.

Finally finally everybody don see say na just empty 'kom - kom' him be

The final resort in his 'lexiCORN' arsenal na simple online swearing

Just imagine say person dey carry calabash naked dey waka go stand for junction to swear for person wey him no even know from adam or who never do am one single bad thing before lol 😂 the funny thing is that he actually thinks his swears will work and instead won't do 'U - Turn' and go back to sender

E get special reason why I dey call that niggar Wacko Jacko

obinoral1179:
see as drivers collect money clean mouth only two people came back to testify...

Even before the vote of thanks begin dey pour in I already dey aware of 2 people wey must to tender their basin for ground to collect the handout

One na George, the other one na Uche if no be say djdamian get big heart ♥️ him for confirm wetin I just talk now.

Djdamian:
Money shared amongst 5 nairalanders


Thanks.

Wacko jacko run run . . . come and see my 'paramount' making us proud this weekend






















Ermm before I forgret . . . Let nobody come and tell me to do giveaway here too una suppose sabi say naturally my 'paramounts' grace covers me

Keep enjoying the day people congratulations to the lucky ones

Omoapena:
Smiles...

To some extent, NL helped me in scaling through that deal I signed with a devil, assuming there wasn't this platform where I let people see my ordeals with you, probably you would have succeeded in invoking the agreement on me..

This sentence here is very powerful

Just imagine this thread wasn't here or it was BUT we were bickering back and forth as we do today what would you have done? You came here and tired your story out and members here lightened your weight by reasoning with djdamian to let the matter slide. Truth is, if he really was as diabolic as you make him out to be he could make the matter turn upside down but I myself personally spoke on your side in that matter because you let us know you we're almost at the end of your tunnel . . . Yes, I conner sympathised with you.

We all are a community here on nairaland, we are all supposed to be helping each other especially on threads like this. E.g did you remember donB ever helped you before? No. Even once upon a time when anoyher member, johncris started insulting donB over some flimsy stuff I reminded him that this same person you're abusing has once upon a time taken you as a brother and a friend and out of his pocket sent you a token as a gift . . . no matter how big or small the amount is, it really means something for someone on a faceless forum to help another person without expecting anything in return.

It's like what people do for family

Barbiturate:
I hope this isn't sarcasm!

Oga cheerful, congrats to you o!

No it's not. Cheerful knows I love this thread more than the group.

Many things I learned and achieved has one way or another linked to nairaland. Very many people I've met or done business with over the years and even threads we have created to impart our own knowledge to fellow nairalanders on one obscure topic or another. It's how this forum was initially built to be. Being here, between 2005 and 2015 was just good. I really don't understand what happened ever since

That's why I stopped using my former moniker. So when I banter with Gen Z nairalanders my old buddies won't come across my posts 😒

Truth is, i wish there wasn't a telegram group I wish every discussion, learning and tip sharing was happening here so others can benefit in one way or another exactly as I benefited in the beginning.

Plus . . . I dey owe some people money for telegram and as i dey login to read update sometimes dem dey catch me

XGhost:
AVOID!!!

Bro some things need to be said and explained especially for those coming here with open minds

The truth is when i started following the thread it was for the traffic updates. I was benefiting from it then because some drivers were always getting harrassed by VIO and road safety and it drastically reduced when i started checking drivers timely updates here concerning those peoples positions on the roads which we are were then able to avoid.

Then for those trumpeting about dumping the hustle and going to look for jobs or getting certifications . . . I'm not saying it's a bad thing but all fingers or situations are not equal. I know someone who sold his only land in the village and moved to lagos to start this ehailing just because he learned and eventually liked to drive. His own family tried to talk him out if it but he persevered. He now has another vehicle and his family joined him here before completing 2 years of his steady hustling. Mind you this person has only SSCE (if at all because i sincerely haven't seen him write at all) but he came to lagos to hustle on uber after seeing it was going to be more lucrative here than in his hometown. I know this happened like 3 years ago but assuming others like him stumbled across nairaland and into this thread today, should we now them to look for a job with their SSCE's or invest in another thing other than the ehailing he us pursuing especially when he has tried it in owerri and knew he could do better in lagos? Or should we have told him to instead use his money to get a university degree first before/while doing the ehailing without thinking if can manage his time m, focus on studying and somehow still be able to feed his family if he did so? Especially when getting a degree in a nigerian university would have cost way more money than he bought his vehicle at the initial time.

* * * True Story * * *

I once worked at a company that has busses running interstate. At a that time we knew the exact mpg of each vehicle in the fleet due to the amount we give drivers for fueling before each trip.

Naturally some drivers were using more fuel than others and we were wondering about the reason until we made research and discovered some engines were actually more efficient than others and some drivers had peculiar driving patters that also made them use up more fuel. After further findings identified and separated the most efficient vehicles from the 'guzzlers' and we then reserved the guzzlers for new intakes and for staff runarounds or auctioned off the really bad ones. That was when I knew that tyre size too can affect mpg.

Back then a Sienna with the 3mz engine would use N13,000 (circa 70 Liters) fuel from jibowu to owerri and successfully reach our terminal there with their reserve lights either on or about to come on but this depended on the traffic they met at the Onitsha Head bridge. A similar Sianna with the 2GR engine used 78 Liters of fuel (around N15,000) for the exact same trip. Now, these are the mpg differences between 2 good and efficient vehicles of same body type but different engine configurations and the same driver piloting them on different occasions back when fuel was priced at N185 per liter, now imagineyhe differencesin cost today when price is over N1,000 per Liter.

After testing we now switched drivers for the same vehicles plying the same route and guess what? Some drivers were buying extra fuel at benin city or Asaba to make sure these same Sienna cars we tested got to the exact same terminal in owerri or risk their vehicle tripping off along the route between onitsha and owerri while some were saying they arrived on the same fuel they bought at gbagada here in lagos for the journey.

So as you can see, it's an individual thing. Take note that's it's even easier to plan, calculate and predict your fuel consumption on long journeys like interstate trips unlike town/city runs where many other factors come into play.

So please, because someone says he used 'so - so and so' liters of fuel to drive 'so - so and so' kilometres and made 'so - so and so' amount as gross doesn't mean he must be lying because you yourself can't achieve same results no matter how hard you try.

What you should do instead is become open minded and carry out a research by asking the right people the right questions to know if there is something you're doing wrong (maybe in your driving habits, positioning or the type of trips you pick) or something else entirely is hampering your efforts (maybe a mechanical issue with the vehicle you're using but unaware of/managing or just simply using an inefficiently sized vehicle)

We are all different here in everything except the same drive and zeal to earn something tangible using the time and tools we have in ehailing. Let us have one mind and keep our differences in opinions of each other aside and focus on what really matters.

MAKING THE MOST OUT OF THIS BUSINESS WHILE WE ARE STILL IN IT . . . simple 😕

Enjoy your weekend people

CheerfulGiver:
Since.

Na telegram men mount.

This thread will flourish. We just need to have the right mindset and everything else will fall into place

Just watch

Omoapena:
Yeah, he's part of uber partner, but the context of the argument, does partner have first hand experience about it?

The discussion is about drivers earnings and not partners earnings...

I understand what you mean, but don’t you think he also has at least some inkling of an idea in the area of distance covered as it relates to fuel consumed in his own personal day to day use of his own vehicle? He knows how much he fills and how far he rides even if he’s not using it in business but it’s still a constant. So far he’s using air conditioning and going on his merry way the only major factor will be traffic.

The main thing is drivers should filter trips as best as they can this season. If you can become good in filtering trips and positioning properly you will get good results. This time is no longer that for guesswork or fastest fingers anymore. Fuel isn’t 185 naira anymore as it once was when this dashboard debate started becoming an issue here.

Two different traders who have shops side by side in the same market selling the exact same items WILL NOT make the same exact amount of profit every day. It’s an individual thing and one needs to always find out new ways to make it work better for himself especially as he sees others doing better for themselves in that same line of business.

We are all here to learn, criticism is wonderful but let it be something that has is not determined by factors that depend on each persons driving abilities or tool. Many are driving cars with bad Oxygen Sensors or without thermostats but they don’t care. If they were shown what they can do to improve their earnings don’t you think they would jump at it?

Please, let’s try to manage each other here at least for the sake of those to come

Omoapena:
You're so pained because we couldn't swallow your gibberish, but on the other side, I have no personal issue or beef with you, I'm only after the fact that you can't earn a certain amount with a certain fuel, it's not personal bro, I'm talking base on experience..

Based on what experience exactly?

That you've used a 2.4L engine vehicle, a 2.0L type, a 1.8L/1.6L one and also a 1.3L one? How many types of vehicles have you utilised on ehailing to have FACTUAL PROOF that you can't earn a certain amount of gross with a certain amount of fuel?

Do you know that there are many factors and variables at play in driving and mpg? Two different drivers can not drive the exact same car along the exact same route and have the exact same fuel consumption because driving behaviour between two individuals is usually different 99% of the time?

Some have heavy foots and press their throttles diffently than others, some 'coast' more than others on free stretch of roads heading to a stop, some don't even allow their tachometer rise to 2,500rpm before they let off their throttle and allow their gearbox shift up early, some brake at the last moment and leave their gearbox on 'D' even in a standstill traffic for up to 10 mins at a stretch instead of switching to 'N' or 'P' to stop their torque converter from using additional power from their engine? Do you know some drive manual gearbox vehicles which naturally have better mpg from their automatic counterparts? Some cars have different engine types but same chassis eg. Civics with 2.0L, 1.8L or 1.6L engine configurations? Most vehicles we are used to here have 8, 6 or 4 cylinder engines but a few cars actually have 5 or even 3 cylinders. I haven't even talked of mechanical issues between 2 vehicles of same models.

I mean, how can you make a general sweeping conclusion that it can not be done when you are not everyone else? Why not speak for yourself?

This thing is really baffling to me

Omoapena:
Coz normally, the guy shouldn't be here, and let's assume he's here for whatever reason, but he doesn't have experience about the hustle and why is he putting mouth and calling people haters or bitter...

See the reason why I get pissed with these type of sentences

Lets all look at the title of this thread,

If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here

It says UBER PARTNER right there for everyone to see. How is djdamian not part of the aforementioned 'uber partners' ?

Truth is he has every reason to be here and post his experiences here too AS A PARTNER so please drop this line in your reason for him not coming here

Wacko jacko what's up? you don dey quiet since . . . Why? Usually anti spambot ban na only 24hrs and i know you must be itching to post or did they knack you 1 week gulag?

Because mehn, that lexiCORN bomb wey you drop that day ehn lol 😆 if you see the kind breeze wey blow me as those bots dem use speed carry you pass go throway outside 😂 I nearly fly

You're supposed to be avoiding me that's the plan buddy even if I'm pushing your buttons

Plus, whenever you abuse me immediately after reading my posts it gives me joy 😊 because I know my words hit home and the accompanying pain assaulted your anus, bulldozed your sphincter and is seriously penetrating your rectum The original sifia type of pain

See them changing their story to "nobody can leave an engine running from morning till night with 30k fuel yen - yen - yen" lol , as if ehailing na interstate travel where person no dey fit park to take occasional rests and filter trips

Dem no just get talk. Haters and jealously envious ones

We know he can lie too much in arguments just to switch goal post. We all saw it a long time ago

Later if person talk say him use 30k fuel gross 100k for lagos dem go dey flap mouth 😒

Some wey laugh their mentor before don start to dey set trap to catch their runaway fuel ⛽️ 🤣

Yes, dav1002 I'm looking at you 👀 you can come and cry that I'm showing you someone else's dashboard and screenshot lol 😆

you want to compare civic 1.8L and picanto 1.3L fuel consumption?

Pearl1910:
Gross 125k
Fuel 35k
No surge

Immediately wacko jacko say make him write him pained lexicons against this post na him some hefty anti spambot bolt bouncers enter the thread jack am like thief commot go hang for naughty corner

Tomorrow him go come dey shake him dry nyasch say dem no ban am lol 😆 Professor lexiCORNs

2RightHands1Coc:
Back pain go wound all of una

E don wounjure you finish abi?

I always knew you had an agenda against this thread, small small your makeup is being washed off.

Newbie indeed you and wacko jacko na from the same WhatsApp group

Wacko jacko don talk rubbish 🗑

Even the Anti spambot self don tire for him wack engrish knack am suspension

Lexicons and jargons

streetwise2015:
Boss which car do you drive?

This is a very wise question

Unlike others who would want to compare their civic to picanto in terms of fuel consumption between 2 different drivers on 2 different routes in lagos 🙄

dav1002:
Hell no!
The main take away in this episode is to keep my moniker off your mentions and stay quietly in your corner else you're gonna learn a lesson.

EOD!

Eiiyah whenever I mention you that's when your heart starts experiencing palpitations abi?


The truth is, until you apologise to your mentor for the false accusation you levied against him over a year ago i would keep mentioning you to remind everyone of your sins and transgressions against other members here

Hug the nearest transformer if e too pain you

Glithronix:
The thing I find funny is not even the 'big grammar', it is the fact that the grammarian feels he's killing it, whereas, even at secondary level, he's going home with an F in English with all those errors that are irksome.
But such individual can never be corrected, so far he's perfect (in his own eyes).
So, what do we do? We laugh and read on.

Much respect, boss.

No mind wacko jacko, na that him lexicons jargons I dey like make him dey write, anytime I dey read am na laughter dey comot my mouth 😄

Ever since dav1002 learn the word 'dyslexic' from him mentor for here that word never rest for him mouth any small thing 'dyslexic- dyslexic' meanwhile the mgbada no even understand wetin the word mean

Even dapo no fit hold him laugh 😆

dav1002:
Shut up you this incompetent nicompoop
Your stupidity and sarcasm will not change how dense, stupid and shallow minded you are!

I don't have any issue with cheerfulgiver and respect his hustle but you on the other hand
You're always quick to blab, spread narratives, call me out and affiliate me with cheerfulgiver

You immediately mentioned me when Pope made that post
How far?
How market?


Mr cho cho cho the useless he-goat

The main takeaway from this episode is that you finally remember who your mentor is

Sefini

See them haters geng never do Wells who believe everybody is a failure like them

Abeggi wey my popcorn . . . 🍿

dav1002:
You keep reasoning like a daft person
I'm not vexing for anyone

And yes my calculation is not calculating yet a few folks have come out to say driving for 12hours with18.5Litres of fuel is heavily sugar coated

How many people have come out to agree that driving for 12hours with18.5L is possible??

Have sense my guy!
It's either you have sense willingly or I will force you to have sense

You can't even force yourself to have an erection 😜

I sense you're in severe pains this early morning, please have some water and don't hit the road till 12 noon and beyond so your dense brain can calm down

dav1002:
Stick to remaining the foolish troll that you are and don't mix it with serious issues

If you are honest with yourself, you have to admit that your assumptions and preconceived notions are wrong, and therefore, your interpretation of events is incorrect.

Inother words, stop making assumptions lest you fail yourself.

That's how you gave away your car to an imposter here who ran away with it. When they ask you the next thing we will hear is "I am keeping the thief's identity hidden" lol 😆 that's "it's your choice"

Everybody knows your own stupidity is in 3d you get? three dimensional . . . ? 😄 🤣
