Hmmm, dis Uber tin is just GRACE. I was angry at my boss because i cud not close early to quickly hustle small but see as God reward me. E be like say na one of invictus pple I carry.

Rider: wey u dey.come sheraton
Me: a mins from u sir
Picked dis thick Igbo guy, with very thick accent.
Me: I start trip and it's international airport.43 mins to drop off.
Rider: where d tin show say we dey go.
Me: Airport sir
Rider: na lie o. Carry me go chemist I get cough.
Me: I slam brake, enter one pharmacy along mobolaji bank Anthony way. Rider bought drugs and we move again.
Me: so oga where we dey go sir.
Rider: Local airport first I want collect something. We got to airport and he called someone on phone, the package he's waiting for is on a flight and d flight jus left Abuja.
Me: I check time and it was 6:30pm. I knew we will be there till 8pm or so. I check my money and it's reading 820.
Rider: why u dey check ur phone.
Me: jus to be sure my money dey read sir, sometimes d tin dey stop.
Rider: ok end trip but u go still carry me go back o. Jus stay for car park.
Me: ok sir, I wanted to initiate negotiation but something in me says calm down. Na so we park switch on AC o for one hour 15 mins. Oga finally got his package. He also use my phone for like 2 mins. He had a low bat3.
Rider: you know Domilos.
Me: l almost LOL, u mean Dominos Pizza sir.
Rider: take me there.
Me: drove down to Joel ogunaike. Oga enter dominos and wasted another 15 mins. He came back with his OWN pizza only.
Me: at dis stage, I don dey boil inside, request dey enter I no fit pick, pizza I no see chop.
Rider: take me back to d hotel.
Me: drove like formula one to hotel, in 2 mins we reach.
Rider: why u dey run like dis.
Me: time is far spent. Time is money.
Rider: so na how much nah.
Me: I looked at rider, I say driving to airport, waiting for that long, paying parking space, for using my phone to make call, and for d pizza wey u no buy for me, EVERYTHING na 50k.
Rider: bursted into one big LOL. U want kill person no, oga take wetin I get joooor. I enjoy ur ride. Brought out some mint 1k note, he did not count it.
Me: I quickly did a mental calculation, d tin go reach 30k. I drive go park for car park make I count d money, I was shocked, it was 43k. I was expecting maybe 5 or 7k maximum for d trip. I don close. I might not work tomorrow. But first, am going back to Domilos (lol) to get my own pizza, and for wifey and kid too. Grace follow me waka today.

radautoworks:
Yup. That's what we tell people. If your car doesn't have an oil change light, then it's by manufacturer's spec which is typically 3,000 miles/3 months or 5,000 miles/6 months depending on if the oil used is conventional or synthetic.

We have people who have come into our shop saying they get oil changed every two months and we tell them it's waaaay too frequent. But one year is never okay unless you have an oil change indicator.
Is did statement still valid irrespective of what u use d car for, daily commute, fleet,uber , weekend runs only etc.pls comment.

True. Cos you keep calling me to bargain as if you’re pricing crayfish in Oyingbo market. I have told you my last price REPEATEDLY, yet you keep coming back to quote nonsense.

Uncle, keep your 40k. Go and look for phone of 40k. This one none like that. I’d rather give it out than sell at such a useless price.

Windscreen were shattered but I was jus lucky. Immediately I notice they were breaking windscreen, I jus jejely open up. They were moving from car to car to bus.

Why use 36k to get a phone that is clearly banned instead of getting a foreign used iPhone for about same price or a little higher. If uber bans you, it's for life except you're one of the few lucky ones.
Eventually i will, i got d phone for personal use tho, not for uber.

Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by dapotemi: 10:30am On Aug 03, 2019
Today, i am one WEEK old on uber. I have followed this forum for 3 years b4 i finally decided to take a bold step. I will like to share my experience.
I commend all d drivers on ehailing, the job is TEDIOUS. I have a 9-6 job and sometimes i close early. I bought a car that i intend to give out on rental/HP but i jus wanted to try it out first. Went tru all d reg process seamlessly. The truth is if u follow dis thread diligently you already have 99% of everything u need, less d experience. I enter road on friday for 5 hours and i did abt 4k net, after deducting uber fees/fuel. My corrolla seems to do btw 8k to 12k on 2k fuel. The second day, i did 14k net, i close at lekki almost 2am, i was getting bck to back so it was tempting, wifey was madt wen i got home so late. I completed I tink 15 trip and uber reduce fees to 3%.
After service on sunday, i got a trip to Abule egba frm ketu (3k), got a return trip to Mende in Maryland (1,800), i was shock cos i was expecting 2500 at least, though road was free. I finally close on sunday around 10pm wit 11k net, i did 2500k fuel. I pick some chinese in sheraton to ZEN restaurant in isaac john and my whole car was smelling so badly, thanks to fragrance wey i carry. On monday i resume at d office and d pain was REAL, serious body pain. Everyone notice i had a hectic weekend. After work on Monday i took a rider frm Palms lekki to Radisson Blu, it was jus 12 mins trip and fare shows 1,480 . i knew something was wrong but i don't know what. Rider flare up that she pays 650 on d first leg. I ask her to contact uber. She jus dey para, threw 500 inside d car and left, i almost loose my temper. immediately she gave me 1 star, note that i already have 23 five star on 26 trip. Then d next day i got a mail frm uber tht i have been flag for fraud, and immediately they suspend my promo. Up till now i dont know exactly what went wrong. The only tin i notice was that my uber map was showing d pick up location of the rider i took b4 taking d radisson blu rider, byt because i knw d drop off point, i did not use d map.
Na so uber bounce me for promo o, i only get 100 naira after each trip and 3% service charge. My Advice;
This job is not for d lazy, faint hearted, u need to chin-up.
Secondly, ur first target at d begining of d week is to reach d first 15 trip and reduce uber charges to 3%. The 25% is outrageous. By tuesday evening dis week, i have done 15 trip and on 3%.
Thirdly, dress neatly, clean ur car, clean YOURSELF. I have met some drivers and i felt so disappointed. I understand if ur car is dirty, due to d areas we ply, YOU should not be DIRTY. A lady entered my car and she said are u sure youre my uber driver, and i smile. At the end of d trip, i ask her if shes now sure am her driver. She said ALL uber drivers are always looking scruffy, i scold her for that generalisation tho.
Fourthly, my first 3 days I was accepting trip to anywhere, that was a MISTAKE. Some places are no go areas henceforth due to bad road; inside surulere, aguda, ijesha , idi araba after luth, part of lawanson, part of ikosi ketu. ISLAND remain d best place. For me, best place to get trip is Magodo, i hardly finish a trip b4 getting another. On d island is Admiralty.
For me, i HATE cash trip, riders are always Hyper when they are paying cash, less wahala if its card. Easy for me because i have some residual cash i can always use for fuel. So much to say.
At the end of my first week, i net 64k after ALL deduction, i owned my car. Someone showed 17500 on a 3500 fuel here. I got motivated and i did 17k on 3500 also. The job is abt determination and motivation. If its to keep body and soul together for a while, its not a bad job. PLS ALWAYS REST, i saw alot of drivers sleeping on wheels, i had to use my horn to wake some of them up! Pls always have enough SLEEP. I met some female riders too. I doff my heart for their spirit and huzzle. They're d real huzzler. Today, am resting at home.

There are things i read here that is so strange to me. Someone is asking for a tracking number to a ship/container/goods that belongs to another man. And you expect answers! Who does that? I dont know OP, but i think he's a very patience man. Hes not an average Nig.
The truth is, many of you want this thing to fail so that you can talk, so that you can bash the op reputation, so that you can tell those who invested that " shei i warn you". If that is SOLELY your AIM. God will fail you. Its depressing. Read my comment well, if that is SOLELY your AIM. I will never understand this attitude.
