Good day my people. Abeg has anyone use Mora Tv before. I saw it in fouani and I heard that it’s also a brand from Hisense. It even uses Vidaa software. How good and strong is it Abeg.

JoaoPedro:
Please how much do you buy the total 10w 40?

5L is 35k though my vehicle uses 4L. The 1L container is 7500. I buy from only total stations. They say na synthetic but me I Dey count am as semisynthetic.

Make my kia rio 09 dey manage him Total 10W-40 oil dey go. I go continue my 7000km. Abuja road free and at just 1½ - 2months, e go touch am 7k
Nothing concern me with battle wey dey occur here.

@kumuyiii change that oil asap. No say because honda engine cheap, you go con dey use strong head abuse the engine

I once saw a guy here in abuja with black oil in his matrix engine and sludge everywhere. When I asked him his maintenance schedule, he said every 3-4months and he dey use mineral oil. I just begin pity the engine. Omo this 3 month narrative this ehailing guys are giving themselves will cost them on the long run no doubt

Morningstarrr:
With about 14% commission and 13k fuel, you went home with about 35k profit. Wch is very okay. If I may ask, what type of vehicle are you using?. Cos my 307 cannot gross more than 30k with 15k fuel. Note, I use bolt mostly

Try filter your trips and no Dey do pickups wey pass 5-7mins if e no Dey juicy…you save more fuel that way. In Abuja, that your 8min pickup na some trip time. Know locations that you’ll see rides when you get there too. Like me, I avoid Kubwa cos their road and pickup time is shitty. You fit see 2km pickup for 10mins. I also avoid lugbe fha axis cos of bad roads. No be everywhere bolt give you na him you go Dey rush go. I use bolt too.
I detest Indrive cos Abuja people always reduce price to the minimum and will still be feeling like they’re doing you good

JoaoPedro:
Am I the only one who deals with this discomfort on the right ankles from long hours of driving?
Ive been having this pain for over 2 weeks now, any tips?

I have pains on my right ankle now and it’s only Fridays-sundays that I work o.

Jafar1:
That's about 41k profit. That's not really bad.
Although I don't know if this profit margin is constant

For Abuja, it’s not bad at all. Infact it’s very good.
Bolt in Abuja is 200/km and bolt comfort is 240/km.

He did really well

JoaoPedro:
Spam bot banned me for dropping my number. Is your mail active so u can drop it through there, thanks

Also would you say Sundays are profitable in the hustle?

My number Dey my profile. Sundays are very sweet sha just that for morning till 12, na so so church people you go Dey pick. From 12 till midnight, na back to back trios

JoaoPedro:
Thanks for this

In addition, the best time/days for this hustle is Friday evening to Monday evening. Other days na By grace of God. Sometimes e Dey hot, sometimes you go vex go house. Most in Abuja go to work on Mondays and alternate other days.
Weekends sweet too.
Please AVOID pickups and drop offs outside Wuse market. Na Taiwosamuel for explain give you.
As time goes on, you’ll get some locations that you hate to drive to.

JoaoPedro:
Good day everyone.

I started my Ehailing journey today in Abuja at Around 6:30AM and got home around.
E no easy at all oh

Pricing
I tried to use some of the tips I’ve read on this thread about dividing the trip price by the distance to get the price per KM, preferably at above N350 but the prices on inDrive you’d rarely get trips above N300 per Km and most times once i use my calculator and I see it’s above N350 someone else has already taken the Trip- I lost a very good airport trip of about N400 plus Per Km to this.
Please is there an easier way to Identify good trips without having to use calculator?

On one occasion where, I also noticed there was a difference in price the passenger was to pay me which was about N500 naira higher than what it was when I accepted the trip and since most time passengers pay before we arrive at the destination, I wasn’t able to get the additional N500 as the passenger had left before I realized. Please what influences this increase so i can watch out for it next time?

Village people.
I also had my first bad experience today😂
Went to pick up a passenger inside Wuse market and the whole place was packed, I called her to come meet me where I was stuck in traffic and I attempted cutting into another road leading outside the market that had been blocked with caution tapes and some tyres after I had asked one of those hausa boys to help me move it in an attempt to dodge that terrible traffic. Before I knew it, one guy just brought at tyre clamp that didn’t I see that there’s no road there, na so I start to beg oh, the hausa boy that helped me move it say make I try settle the guy before he clamp my tyre, na so I give am 2,000, for ride of 2,700 and the girl(passenger) no even pity me add something after I completed the trip☹️

Fuel Efficiency.
I drive a Rav 4 2004- Before I started my fuel consumption was through the roof. N15,000 naira fuel always struggled to give me 45Miles.
I’ve changed my upstream o2 sensor, cleaned the air filter and throttle body, fixed back thermostat and returned fan to factory settings and I got 130Miles on let’s say about 22 litres and I had a little bit of fuel before I bought N15,000 fuel today which I used to work. Also all of my trips was done entirely with Ac, I only didn’t use Ac on few occasions when I was heading to pick up passengers. Question - do you guys think I would have likely grossed more if I didn’t use Ac at all as I’m seriously considering its usage henceforth.

Navigation
Navigation was here and there .on one occasion I forgot to tap start ride of InDrive and I followed the same route back to the pick up spot where I had just left, Chai

Also on like 2 occasions the riders gave me directions that were in conflict with what Google Maps was showing me as the map was taking me through a much farther route. How do I deal with this going forward and pickup distances are so far which is what is eating up my fuel

Conclusions
Upon closing I also tried using Bolt “Trips towards destination” but I didn’t get trips going towards where I live so I just picked people along the road going towards my place. Lo and behold on the way home I started getting trip updates but I couldn’t check the phone to see the detail/prices as it was already dark and I didn’t want to use my phone on the highway.

Lastly, I would really like to know areas I should target for good rides as today after I left baze university, other trips took me to Nile university, Wuse zone 3, Gwarimpa, Durumi, Naf valley estate, Nyanya and I found it difficult to get good rides leaving most of these places.

And please if there’s anybody that drives in Abuja here, what days would you advise are the best possible days for the business as I plan on working only 5 days in a week.

I look forward to getting your opinions and and whatever advice I can get on how to improve my profitability. Thanks

I’ve been following your progress from the time you were asking whether to buy a car or bike which led me to your diary thread and so on. you’ve been a constant source of inspiration and motivation to me. God bless you abundantly.

oluxmondd2:
I did comment then, and I remember asking you this important question “What's the essence of job security without financial security?”

Yeah you did…I remember and I weighed the option that time. U know say head wey go chop knock, if he Dey inside helicopter, he go comot head come outside. Na so the matter be

Elsueno:
U made the right choice, commercial banks job are shyty & lacks blessings. Personally, any money earned based on charging usury/interest like some Jewish demons infuriates me.

It was a non interest bank

oluxmondd2:
Omo so you later jettisoned the bank job for paramilitary job? It is well

I did and all I can say is Omo…It’s still too early to judge sha. Too early but then I will have preferred that life to this one I’m in right now.
You sef, why didn’t you comment when I was looking for advice then?
