For the sake of clarity again I would like to state that.

1. Before any car is converted, it must be checked and certified good to go. It doesn't necessarily has to be because of the engine there are other astetics to check which includes wiring placement, previous overheating issues, booth space.(One of us here were turned down last week because of lack of booth space as regards his booth space being small for the type of cylinder he actually wants)
2. CNG doesn't stop the use of fuel just in case you're scared of any harm to your engines and wiring. (Tho some Oversabi actually locks their fuel line after installing)
3. There's actually more better plugs for CNG converted cars just in an instance the car plugs aren't igniting enough spark.
4. It is advisable to always have at 15Ltrs of fuel in your tank at anytime because you'll need fuel to lubricate your engine system as CNG is dry air thus it can not do what fuel will do in terms of acceleration.
5. CNG has high cleaner emissions, and ability to extend engine lifespan. it provides a more stable and cost-effective alternative to volatile petrol prices.

I can't go on with these as your pockets will advise you better. Yes it might be expensive from the surface but when you calculate what you spend on fuel monthly... You'll realize you most likely had used more that the conversion amount on fuel on just one month alone.

We're still open for conversion, maintenance and repairs. We've been tested a whole lot of time and has always been thorough with our client expected outcome.

After the race... We count the miles!
Great news!
I'll advise that you continue to put out info like this concerning CNG and why it's a better, cheaper alternative on the long run.
I am also considering CNG in my car. I'm planning to introduce it to the fleet mgr here but I will need to speak from my personal experience. They are seriously complaining about our ever increasing operational cost. We have over 100 vehicles and am already thinking of how much I'll make from that deal. Our monthly fuel cost dey hit 25m monthly and I believe alot is actually being stolen by the drivers. We don sack tire! When the time comes, I'll hit you up.
Thanks.

Like the old folks, this new set of drivers are also millionaire...Uber drivers are really making it in Nig right now..Nothing dey affect them!
But who are those people dancing skelewu in Alausa? Those drivers rushing to install CNG, maybe they don't need it after all so far you can still net 50k a day!
50k * 30 = 1,500,000
Drivers are earning even more than CFO and CTO of most companies sef.
You made about 100k driving in a day, yet the fuel gauge of ur Camry muscle SLIGHTLY drop from "F".
Guys, people are making REAL LIFE DECISIONS just by reading your experience from this forum. Some will quit their job, relocate their families, sleep under ajah bridge because you have unknowingly sold to them an unsustainable version of the job! Stop adding sweeteners, addictive or ginger to your experience. It is not fair on others. Partners read this stories and they go back to press the neck of their drivers.. Don't be unfortunate!
Pls note that not everyone has the same IQ or street smartness like you, some do not have the ability to think deeper, they just ACT, because you share not ur experience but tales by moonlight.
Again, don't be unfortunate.
Thank you.

Cng is here to stay bro. See as Dem stations scatter for lagos. And guess what d market makers MUST keep it below fuel amount else u will just dekit and count ur profits and move on. So what happens to all the filling stations investments by both private and public sectors lipsrsealed. Even cost of production is low. Less than other derivatives.

Cng is here for a long long time
CNG will go up too. It's just a matter of time if you know how Nig functions. If for anything, the early birds are the one that will enjoy the benefit. If I may advice, I'll ask driver to consider CNG. The profit is too low now with fuel and you'll soon worn out.
But CNG no suppose pass like 300k sha. Quite expensive for almost a mil. If you have the fund, and you don't have any other viable option aside this hussle, pls consider it. Last December, while most guys on petrol were celebrating 1m-2m profit, some CNG guys I know did 3m. I know someone that did about 4m!
I like the fact that you can dekit whenever you want, you can switch to fuel if gas finish. I think there is a little flexibility and it's worth it. Just find a reliable installer...

Guys, always RENEGOTIATE every trip! Make it a standard. I have been travelling recently (PH, Abuja, Akwa-ibom) and I can confirm that all the ride that we booked, every one of them was renegotiated! The price on the app is meaningless.
The only ride I got without negotiation was immediately I landed at MMA2.. Airport to Alapere for 4k. Took d driver almost 40 mins. That would've cost me like 8-10k in PH!
Pls start renegotiating every ride. Nobody send una o.

Honestly it feels comfortable, if I work till around 2am , I won't wake early to work.
The only reason ill wake early around let's say 5am is to bath then go back to sleep.

Anytime I have to work midnight, I won't start work early, ill sleep till let's say 9am,.

Nobody can drive straight from 5am to 11pm. I have broken down how I operate, from 6am to 12pm, take break and resume by 4pm to 9/10pm for 4 days in a week. Just learn not to take any and every kind of trips. Even if you work for longer hours if you're not strategic, you would just circle around Lagos with no aim or little money. Nothing is wrong in also sharing operational and earning experience, it actually helps too, don't just take it from a point of envy or oppression. This is what helped me when I started last year September or so, kudos to everyone who constantly gave advice and shared experiences.
Bros, people dey do am o...There are drivers from ibadan,osogbo, Abeokuta, Akure etc. They don't have a room anywhere in Lagos. They bring in their car,drive from morning till night, even till midnight! Their room na inside d car, they have their satchet close-up toothpaste and brush in one corner..Dem full Admiralty for night. Even when dey nap, once the app make sound, they're on the wheels again..Some drivers practically don't sleep,they only nap! By 10am, check their app, they're on 40k already while you're still on 6k. They deceive urself if u think you all started together..talk to them, THEY WILL NEVER TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY!
You think any random driver will tell you they have not slept in 3 days, just nap!
If 1000 rider make an order by 2am in lekki,they will get 1000 readily available drivers. In this hussle,you better be CAREFUL what you admire.

Besides, I don't know why he found your numbers unbelievable. My numbers are similar to yours. Same work routine (Fridays, Mondays, Saturday and Sundays), similar car, yours is Camry 2010 mine is 2011 V4. And I know my route is not very efficient, cause I still have a lot to learn but my January dashboard showed 760k (400k from bolt, about 320k on Uber and 40k Indrive) not counting offline.
Nah, I do not find any of those numbers unrealistic. I am a veteran! I invested in this biz, I drove for years on it! Indrive was still very unpopular when I took my first ride as a driver. I still know few guys doing over 1m monthly, regularly. The figure is not the issue, it's the TIME you put into it. Don't tell me you drive from 6am to 1pm, three times a week and you did 500k on indrive, 250k on Uber, 300k on bolt! You don't motivate with LIES!
ANYONE can do any figures if they put in d hours, stop saying you make millions on ehailing by driving for few hours. Dont motivate people to their doom.

This are comforting words to make sense of you not doing enough. But to be fair, everyone has their limits which is created by them. Don't believe everything but be open minded to see things from another angle and possibly learn from it. Other people's reality is not yours, vice versa. There are guys here who I met on this platform who are doing numbers you wouldn't believe but don't talk about it as this is a public forum.
Honestly, I don't have a prob with your figure tho. I don't just like how you simplify the Hussle as if others don't know what they are doing! Investors are wailing, drivers are not delivering,a high percentage of them! If you put 5M as an investor in this biz today, you won't recover it! Except if you PLAN well!Those who are raking d numbers as you claim have one thing in common, LONGER HOURS! I won't advice even my enemy to drive for 18 hours, it's suicidal. I won't allow you drive my car for 18 hours a day!
To get a single trip of 10k on indrive now, you'll almost drive from east to west. My wife is now taking 5k on a steady from Alapere to island everyday. That's ridiculous! On 839 naira per litre, 12.5 commission, very expensive part! Yes you can still make ALOT of money, by driving 5am to 11pm! That's what most of you are doing but won't dare say it.
I'm making money but this is what I AM DOING! Better than trying to sugarcoat things as if indriver dey give you special trip different from what others are getting...

It's not Bala buleu. It's the ROI due to the poor fares of the app companies. . Keke Marwa, Danfo are being bought in hundreds n given out by investors...

How can Keke be remitting the same rental with an Uber vehicle...
Any wise investor can't inject vehicles at the fares the app companies are setting n expect to make a profit. It doesn't add up.

And if you do strong head as an investor. Uber/Bolt will have taken 25-30% off the labour of the car and leave you the investor to lick your wounds.. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
It's a combination of both but I'll agree with you. To be honest, if transportation is really what you want to do, buying a car for ehailing should be the least on ur plan. Most especially if you're not going to be driving it yourself..If you still insist, then you must PLAN well!
An experience but retired driver did something really weird last year. Bought a nig used buy and drive matrix for 4.5m in Oct last year. Did 1m in Oct, 1m in Nov, 1.5m in Dec. Sold it in mid-January after netting 300k, for same amount (4.5m). He say he will rinse and repeat this year. He said he can't drive any other month due to unreasonable price.
One weird way of thinking outside d box if you ask me. He made about 2.5M net!
