Haba
If we have to blame someone.
i will rather we blame the thief trying to rob a guy like him doing legit hustle.
Why stab him to death ?
D thief is d evil here.

Then we can share blame with Agbado Pablo president removing subsidy with cushioning effects.

Then d driver partially who did offline like cabu cabu and him go loose guard.

[color=royalblue]So, who do we blame?

I mean, someone needs to be blamed. So who should it be?

This house is so divided, which is rather unfortunate.

Adversity (our shared pain, as e-hailing drivers) was supposed to bring us together. Rather, it has further thrown us apart to the extent that I can count as many as four different factions in this house.

How do we even begin to make amends? How are we supposed to help each other like this? To what end does this thread exist? For our prides? For our egos? Or as a union of like-minded fellows interested in lifting each other up?

What exactly are we doing here?

You can as well pick someone from a known address at odd hour with intention of harming you, our prayer is never to get close to whomever have the intention to harm us...

Bros, in as much as they don't guarantee safety, you MUST atleast do your best and take precautions first and foremost to protect yourself...Even people who order you from VGC estate can still maim you, if they want to...na student of Bingham university kill the Abuja driver recently...The truth is, NOTHING is guarantee and reason why you must be on red alert, all the time..
Late last year I was going to work around 6am, the rain was extremely heavy, people cannot leave their house..On my STREET, I saw two young men and a lady, I know one of them stays on my street tho I have never engage him, all nicely dress you will know they're heading to their office, I decided to give a lift, I lost my phone that morning...Have I stop giving a lift since then, NOPE! Just that I am more careful, you won't even see my phone!There is a Yoruba proverbs that says if you close your eyes so that bad people can Waka pass, you won't know when the good ones too will Waka pass ..Just be alert and PRAYERFUL, always.

Larry1960:
Guy no dey cap Nonsense did they tell you that contributory pension is for life except maybe you are annuity not programmed pension
I know a retired CBN bank manager his monthly pension is not up to 200k monthly. I also checked the pension balance of a current manager of a Top manufacturing company in Nigeria him balance never even reah #12M person wey do work for almost 15years

Suffery dey tell us lie here na
Do you know how much tokunbo Corolla is
4m *2 = 8M
So you dey tell us say your 25percent of your pencom balance na 8M

Abeg no dey bobo us here

Maybe na oil company you dey work abi


Hahaha so your current balance na #32Million naira for your pencom we no be kids here na

FyI if I decide to buy a tokunbo Corolla today for 4M and I decide to drive it myself I would buy that 2 tokunbo Corolla in 3 years time no capping cos as a Uber driver driving my own car I suppose fit save up 4m in 18months
Am not capping

Pearl1910:
If u come with rational thinking and Intelligent
advise, I will clap for you, but if u come with insults and washing u will definitely collect in good measure.

That aside, u have worked for 14years straight yet u still need a loan to buy engine and u use auction before u can buy a car. I tot all our salary workers have money loaded in bank accounts. Oga, just getat before u disgrace yourself here.
In a bid to show urself, u opened ur broke ass.
Your total pension contribution can only buy 2 corolla. Ehhh God.

Just keep encouraging drivers, do what u can to help people, that's noble and I celebrate u for that. But the moment u start downgrading and tarnishing drivers, u will get a response, whether u quote me or not.

XGhost:
I started this thing in 2018. Did rental for 2 years, resumed after COVID break with my own car, Naija used 04 civic. I used it for a year, sold it and bought a Tọks car that I'm using now.
January last year, I moved from Gbagada to a highbrow estate in a good part of the island. (Not Lekki 1 though)
I've gone on holiday twice this year, one was in Accra.
I can afford to buy 20k petrol everyday.
I don't work till 4am for any reason. I start at 6 and should be on my way home by 6. The only reason I may push it is if my madam is out too.
I don't travel by road anymore, unless there's no other viable means to travel to that place.
I settle my different financial obligations with some ease.
I'm also married to a very beautiful woman.
Looking back, I know how far I've come.
Quality of life for me is very ok, by Naija standards.
Do you think I'm growing or not?

Now, in every line of work it's the same thing. I don't know if you saw the HORRIBLE BOSSES trend on Twitter some time ago. You probably have carried several people who have either complained to you or to someone while in your car about how toxic or messed up their work place is. How unrealistic targets are choking them. Women and even men being sexually abused and emasculated but they can't leave or refuse to leave for different reasons. You know these things.
Everybody is in that job to be able to afford a certain quality of life, to be able to meet up with their obligations. These experiences are not peculiar to you as a driver. You just have the experiences peculiar to drivers.
This is the fundamental of human existence. It also ties in closely to your self esteem and sense of self. If you aren't meeting up with your obligations, it's likely you'll feel emasculated a lot when you have encounters with people who you believe are doing better.
People in this country start earning an ok salary from manager level. Now ask yourself how many people from there up do you have. It's a pyramid my brother, it narrows as you go higher.
And this makes your analogy of 52m kinda curious. The 9 to 5 guy, does he have his 3m per annum complete at the end of the year?

We all try to make a life with what we have but being in the game, I don't see any reason why an Uber driver should not be able to make a relatively quality life. And use your earnings to step up. It could be starting a fleet. It could be something that's not even related. But na the same money wey Uber man make Na'im office man too go make. It's what you do with it that's the problem

Pearl1910:
Agba!!!...u for tell us since say ur papa na oko ashewo, we would have taken your advise more seriously. Thanks but no thanks, even Civil servant and Bankers that didn't plan their lives are miserable, sick and poor in old age. This is not peculiar to drivers. The only govt workers enjoying old age in Nigeria are people who were in the armed forces whose pension is paid for life, (not the contributory pensions that OBJ brought) or people who have well to do and caring children. At some point, ur contributory pension will finish. Wait and see, in the next 50 years where we will be, thank God for Internet. Although I don't know about you, "see yo see Ebony" since u feel there is no time to enjoy this life, but according to my own scriptures, I will live to see my great grand children.

DonJoeSneh:
Funny thing is, if you don't get external funds and you still rely on daily money from driving, you will still goan pick that girl as a graduate when she's done. Either una accept am or not, nobody dey grow in this hustle, you will just be a living thing... One small car issue can chop all your one month profit.

Nonconformist20:
There's no Uber driver in Nigeria that earns 1million naira monthly.
None....

Gentlelife50:
I am enjoying this argument between these people and these people, more like a debate.
Money is more important than education, those day's debates sha.

fk001:
People come from different class/level and different schools of thought.

Some are into Uber job because life happened to them, not by choice maybe they are just doing it just to sustain themselves for a while and also making their plan to move forward. Such people have never dream of becoming Uber driver for once. This class of people will never be proud to be called Uber drivers because is not their calling or what they wanted to be.


While some people start from the bottom pit and climb up to be Uber drivers, to them this is the height of success because they can solve their immediate and basic needs, after all, they have nothing to lose they have come a long way to reach Uber driving status. Such class of people no matter how you try to convince them that the job is not paying or they should plan for exit, they won't heed to your advice, their mind is already comfortable with the driving job.

All of you here know where you belong to, either class A or B.


In a nutshell, a bank manager that lost his job to join Uber driving, his mind will never be at ease with the job he will look for alternatives. While an Agbero/conductor that joined Uber driving will always see it as an eldorado or job that is full of milk and honey.

Know your level and choose what works for you!!

adeyemo001:
Very clean Toyota Corolla 06 on hire purchase N4.1m for 130weeks at N30k weekly.

Fleet management company will charge 10% of the N4.1m, then another 20% of N200k deposit.

Is it a good deal? What do i need to disagree with?
