Me personally I can't take break.. I can't be suffering at an old age o .. This money must be made, or I die trying.... Sleep for the weak bro ... the rich only sleep less than 8hours a day so who are to be sleeping 8hrs day... you just have to work smart

That is why the rich dey always get rich man sickness. If there's a new sickness in town, just ask, it must be a rich man carrying it.

guzenaira:
This was my first post on this tread but I wasn’t adviced properly but I felt there is an opportunity to make money in the transportation sector.

I found out that things aren’t rousy anymore particularly when you are not on ground.

I believe you are on ground to monitor your business that’s why you go with the Rentals option @dru23.

Don’t you think I will have issues if am not on ground to monitor it. Should I fancy the Hire purchase option?

I think I understand dru23's business strategy. He makes more money doing rentals because after a while he sells the cars off and go for another after he must have made his money through weekly remittance, I guess the reason he's always hammering on maintenance.

eherbal:
forgive me bro.im very sorry. the dough went south. was thinking of getting in touch with you at the close of work today. nice ride though. I vouch for you.

Thanks for the compliments. But please let the money no go south o, it should come my way.

eherbal:
busted!!!

Didn't hear from you again.

pocohantas:
Lol. Maybe someone told him it is a goldmine. I haven't experienced it, but I can't think of any other reason. He has decided to handle it himself and grab it all. Let him enjoy sha, he will see how it goes.

He probably called jesusson and he spilled like a sack of beans.

Xneg:
To be honest most cars are good for the business if the owner is driving, where you have to take several things into consideration is if you're not driving and giving it out for rental.

Completely agree. Someone here just confirmed he was delivering 30k weekly with 2.4ltr engine. Imagine if he was driving his own car?

[quote author=MeshachMARTINS post=78396369]I think they only accept 2003 and above[/quote

Not true. I called uber and they said year 2000 upwards goes, but I was specific about the car brand when I called, though I want to assume it cuts across. However can't say same for bolt.

slamstanlee:
you didn’t add data subscription... minimum of 1200 weekly

Bros this your analysis is not complete at all or let's assume that this analysis is meant for jesusson since he is single. What about feeding for the family abi na only you go eat a whole 6h daily, you no go come factor in madam and children too?

Carshopper:
Una still dey here dey argue how much weekly una dey make or who works harder than the rest abi....

For every hard work there is always a reward... some their hardworking pays out in less hours of work, others their hardworking is plenty hours work... so be it 20k u make weekly or 50k you make weekly smile and enjoy the reward. We can't run the same race and get same results ....

I am leaving Ehailing gradually ... Corporate Auto lease is the way forward oo

How can one do that, please?

lollyboy:
Very valid point there..
I feel the complain is actually to discourage upcoming drivers and partners which is obviously a failure..
Jesusson2020 came out to do the opposite and that's why most people practically hate his guts so its just the way black people thinks
Even though I have not seen anything wrong about what the young man is saying I see a lot of likes when he gets insulted or advised..
So here is my opinion
A lot of you try to make a valid point buy saying you will ignore, he is not matured, life will get to him and all..
All of this na for your pocket and just an opinion of yours..
Then you guys make his point of being frustrated valid by mentioning his family and future after every comment..
Smh
I see no need for all of these because an innocent hard working man aired his opinion
Regards

Did you actually read a post where someone actually said he knows someone back in the day when uber started newly who delivered 100k weekly? Can anyone do that now? What people here are saying which some of you refuse to see is that the standards are dropping. This talk of leave if uber doesn't pay you is completely childish and shows lack of seeing ahead.

fxjones:
I have carefully follow this thread, all I could say, the only reasonable person I have seen is jesusson2020, who is positive about his new found job, what baffles me most is this, all those complaining about ehailing, if its not paying why not simply quit instead of complaining here. Nigerians na wa for us

Yourself and jesusson are the only ones getting things wrong. What everyone else is saying is about raising the standard such that it is applicable to what is obtainable else where where uber operates, especially in the west. In a more simpler term, it could have been better.

Gentlelife50:
It's expected, you were here throughout today fighting.
Sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier, but mind what u say to people. Not everybody will let it slide apart from that life is funny not always how u want it to be.

Maturity! Appreciate that.

radautoworks:
It's not by force to fix with us. People bring their car all the time just for diagnosis and then go elsewhere. People also bring their own parts and we put for them. We give you estimate and don't do anything without your consent. At least you will know what is really wrong with the car. And TBH, we are VERY affordable on labor.

Yeah, I know it will do me more good if I let the professionals look at my car squarely. Did a diagnosis late last month and the following codes where detected: p0011; p1167; p0453 and p1077. Although the engine hasn't given me any reason to worry apart from the throttle body that needs changing because of the rpm that goes up and down when I put on the ac but normalises when in motion.

xana101:
true talk bro. I’ve done the tinted permit it didn’t cost me more than 5k. Tinted permit is actually free but u know as bail is free. I got my permit since January but yet to tint my car. I don’t want unnecessary stopping that’s why.

Please where did you get yours done? I was charged 15k for mine.

jesusson2020:
If you're a driver, you will enjoy driving around Lagos, while meeting new people.

If you have a job of 100k a month doing fraction job, quit driving Uber and focus on that job.

Uber is not the best job in the world, and is not the worst job either, but for me at moment, is the best job so far, I have experience in my life.

I didn't invest a dime, just my little energy and I'm making money, God bless Uber.

With so much talk about uber drivers going on strike for lack of a better treatment, I doubt if this jesusson will ever join. He seems too comfortable with where he's at at the moment.

ncnerio:
He knows nothing about the area that's why! But best bet na to take egbeda going back. Coming in the morning U will be driving against trafic so good for U but bad road U no fit escape. If I were U with the rain wey fall I go advice U leave that deal if na 12k. Truust me except no be ur Moto and U no send partner.

I live in Igando best route will be to go through isheri/igando road then when you get to Igbo elerin take the exit and you'll find yourself after okoko.

peterdrury:
Please can anyone help me with the price range of the shock absorber(the two at the back) for corolla 03, thanks. Please do suggest which one to go for, new or tokunbor.

Give this guy a call he's at aspanda/tradefair market, he'll give you parts that will last you at a good price too. 09023559458

Never, never ever use water in your radiator unless for emergency purposes, the constant use of water in your radiator will coz rust and damage the radiator.. Water in your radiator boils at high speed compare to coolant.. Most of my stuff I import.. I do use Prestone coolant ..... I can only vouch for what I use..
Since am not a mechanic, I tend to use common sense and research when dealing with my cars.. My advice is for you to take your car to a professional shop like radauto in Lekki ..have them check the engine and radiator if the car .. To see the extend of the abuse if any ... if there is no sign of abuse, than you can than start or continue to care for your car. That will be my advice...

Oga dru23 I know say na me ask for advice and you give advice. But first off, I live in igando driving down to lekki is really not a big deal but I just want to emphasis on that point. Now if I take myself and my car go this lekki autoshop are you sure they will not charge me the same amount I bought the car for repairs? This one no be restaurant when you go wash plate after you chop finish and you no get money to pay o. Don't get me wrong, though. If I have the money I will spend good on what I love but as at the moment I am trying to survive.

dru23:
Your crv uses 5w20 but at the same check your oil cap too. I do have the 5w20 for sale for 17k. Make sure you use high grade oil filters .. Also if you have not been using the correct oil for your car, it might be too late to use mobil oil .. Mobil 1 oil is might to keep and protect your engine running .... It will not work after you might have abuse your engine.

Quite correct sir the recommended oil for my car is SAE 5w20. However the last oil change or rather the first oil change I did after I bought the car (Nigerian use) was Mobil xhp. Secondly can you please advise: every 2-3 days I pour a medium sized cup of water in my radiator, is this normal? However, if I decide to use coolant I was thinking of going for the one made by Total and then mix 50/50(coolant/water). What's your take please, first with regards the oil and then the coolant? Waiting...

dru23:
In my own personal experience, the civic is a bit stronger than the elantra suspension wise. The elantra has a better ground clearance compare to the civic... so each car has is owns plus and minus... the elantra suspension at times makes a lot of noise.... Most time with car parts like suspension, you need to get a brand new one or better yet a very good quality tokunbo.. Once you can get those those things rite ,you wouldn't have an issue .. I don't want people coming out saying that elantra has bad suspension etc ..if you get good quality part. You will be ok.
Also the reason why am going for civics, 03 to 05 ..it is Base on the fact that I can get it cheaper, way cheaper than the elantra.. And keep in mind the elantra is getting more expensive to buy.. Getting an elantra is almost as expensive as corolla.. With the civic I can get my money back faster than the elantra, due to fact the civic is cheaper for me to get.. Continue using Mobil 1 oil 5w30 and you will enjoy the elantra for years to come. And also I do have two elantra on my fleet.. Good cars no major problems at all

Please how much is this oil and can I use it for my cr-v 04

GAZZUZZ:
Thanks for the patronage.


P.s all of you ranting online, this guy grab o!

Gazzuz I for like patronize you so you can look up my car for me. Really can't tell the level of maintainance from the previous user but the bottom line is cash.

Hello guys! What was it like for you guys doing uber for the first time with regards to navigating the city especially Lagos? Hope to start uber soon once my license is out but I feel navigating the city will be my biggest challenge yet. Any tips and tricks, anyone?

Cooladex:
I actually used 3k fuel to make this today. I'm actually scared about my cars low consumption of fuel.

What kind of car do you use?

Please i need experts in the house to help me with these error codes for my Honda crv 2004 2.4litre i-vtec:

1. P0011 vtc system malfunction
2. P1167 h2os s1 failure
3. P0453 evap ftp high input
4. P1077 imrc valve s... short

The reason for the trailing dots in the 4th listed code description is because the print out was poor and that word wasn't clear enough.

Low on cash at the moment, will be grateful if you can recommend on which two to fix first.

Additionally, I have a throttle body that my mech has advised me to change because of my cars unstable rpm and vibration when I put on the ac when car is idling. The throttle body in my car is the double type. Apart from the throttle cable, the other cable which one mechanic called the cruise control cable hangs loose.

Appreciate in advance what the experts in the house have to say. Thanks

brogxy:
From drivers' history I have heard so far, many are from different statuses.
Like having a former business manager but went into Uber as a survival job pending the time he gets himself back on feet;
Like a survivor that has was a barrow pusher before getting a job that keeps him in the AC, and he happens to be very young too (22).
It's good you make use of your youthful age but there are different classes of drivers that were doing well for themselves. So by working all days of the week to make N80k~N100k monthly is slavery.

I think the big difference for him is when he compares where he was in the past doing odd jobs and going home with little, with where he is right now with uber. Just cut the guy some slack. Imagine if he wasn't remitting, that would have been like 50k to 60k a week. Obviously no one is going to do uber all the days of their lives. You should have a goal...target that once achieved, you move to something else, hence the reason why some who did so well with uber in the early days may have moved on to other things haven raised enough money.

GAZZUZZ:
never again!

Share please. Did you have a bad experience!?

GAZZUZZ:
2.4 liter engine? All wheel drive?

Yeah, 2.4ltr. But it has been converted to a two wheeler.

Evening house. Please I intend using my Honda crv for both uber and taxify, just waiting for my license to mature. Anything I should worry about with this car?
