The way some people easily get pissed off and begin abusing on this thread...smh

They use the spirit of danfo driving to drive uber

Benard5050:
I worked in a school for four years and I decided to resign to establish my own business, a laundry business to be precise.

Immediately I gave my boss a month's notice, she turned me into her enemy immediately, and she became so bitter towards me.

The school is run by husband and wife and I discussed with d husband who is the director that I still wish to maintain the room in the staff quarter till December that the house rent should be deducted from my last salary because our rent is being deducted every month from our salary.

The director agreed, wished me well and even advised me further on other things.

My last day at work was Wednesday and happened to be my birthday, this woman never wished me a happy birthday but instead a full manifestation of bitterness that was open to all to see. I made sure I fulfilled her requests but I cried cos I felt let down and betrayed... I joined the school when the college was only jss1 and 2 and now with d help of God and my hard work and those of others, the school has developed and grown to ss3

I'm into teaching aspect and also extracurricular activities that I do teach the students and won many things for the school regarding that.

I left unceremoniously and I felt so sad and betrayed...

Yesterday the director messaged me I'll have to vacate the room I'm occupying and this house is where I'm doing laundry, I planned to be there till Dec and then move away when I start making some money from my laundry.

How can humans be so inhuman and ungrateful?

I have nothing to say to them, I put everything in God's hand.

JuanDeDios:

Please how much is being returned to the owner these days? If you give a person your car for Uber?

jeff1607:
Don't understand what is going on here, not talks about people's experience on the road or how fuel is used or just life experiences while ehailing, it's how one is spending money on house or how he lives, I learnt quite a lot before I gave my car out for ehailing, came here trying to see if what my partner is complaining about is true, I learnt quite a lot here when trying to get a car for uber, the right app to use, the routes to avoid, the way to handle situations especially with police and the sorts, what to have on one's car and the rest, but all that's here now is just banter.

Please for us still learning the ropes can this thread go back to the way it was once was?

My partner is saying the fares on the indriver app and others Haven't been adjusted to suit the current hike in fuel , don't know if this is true or no

Pearl1910:
Trust me, if the salary is big, d person will not be doing Uber on d side.
I can't even remember d last time I woke up by 5am to go and work except when I am pursuing my other businesses and trying to beat traffic.
I know what I want in life, and ehailing is giving it to me easily. I left paid employment, I resigned with my hands no be say anything happen. The total amount of ajo I do a week is more than 100k.
I don't answer to anybody, write query when I am late or get sent on errands that they can kidnap me, I don't wait for oga to leave office before I go home, I am in control of my life.
I can sleep at home for two weeks in a month and still make 2times the salary of a Lagos big boy.
Every endeavour has its own advantages and disadvantages, let's do whatever pays us, whatever is working for us and whatever makes us fulfilled and happy.
I will never pull down any hussle, whether corporate job or business, others should learn to do same.

Congratulations You've just given some nairaland historians info to use against you when you step on their toes.

I wish you well

Raw2:
Person leave home by 5 yesterday and got home 8pm after 15 hours, because his oga went home early. Else, he for reach house late. The only reason he even grossed 22k that he's showing off na because oga comot by 3.

Therefore on a normal day,

1. he doesn't get home by 8
2. If he gets home by 8 he doesn't gross 22k everyday he goes to answer oga sir for office.

Same yesterday, my first trip was 10:30am. My last trip was 10:56pm. After 12hrs and 30 mins

But somehow, na who use 15hrs work dey lecture una on mental health and una dey listen? Someone I sleep better than?

Okay. Make una analyze this one. If I gross 45k in less than 13hrs. How much do you think I can gross from 5am to 8pm, a range of 15hrs?

Full-time driver has more time to himself than you do, and grossed more than you do. Your salary inclusive.

Make una dey listen to their rubbish ehn... Dey play.

Cc : Dapotemi, Pearl

Good morning boss? When I read Dapotemi’s Post last night, the will to ask some questions entered my body, but I’m like you just got out of one fiasco, avoid whatever that may seem as misunderstanding that will lead to gbas gbos. Not until I read IFRSC comment and Pearl that some how align with my tots.

You load 22k yesterday and still able to keep your salary. Do you know some full time drivers didn’t even get to make that yesterday? How often do you get to make this? Do you know that where you live determines a lot? Gigo how much do you make in a week? These will help us reach some vital conclusion I get.

Pearl made some point where he hit on his peace of mind and this has been everything for person like me. I’m up when I’m up, gosh! Right now I don’t want to go through that stress of not willing but I have no choice. That’s what the 5am stuff does to me. I stand in the bathroom and all my teeth is feeling heavy. I have a friend that won’t leave office unless his boss is out of work. Even if he is in the office having some fun with friends, a dude ain’t going no where till oga leaves. Your own work provides you the chance to leave at 3, some don’t even know where they left their body after work and pressure. I am not saying anything loud. Advice is good, and I seriously like the direction is better than speed, but I want you to understand it is not that easy.

At IFRS, I have to quote you because you’ve said it all, let all do what is good for them. Skills can’t be underrated. School or not, one should be good at something. I want to believe you were a driver before living for UK. Do you know same UK is where we back home always got discouraged not to try. If 5m can get one to Uk nd there’s heaven there, I don’t think that is an issue for me. And where did I save such money from? Purely from driving. My point! I want to believe you must have seen people saying nothing in Uk, but anyway you pushed on. Life is deep and I still believe we are fighting different battles. Learnt mine when a friend of mine bought car at 20, deep within I tot he was stupid for using his first win to buy a car, till he bought 2nd, 3rd, 4th to luxuries. Sometimes I do feel we human worry so much over nothing, but at the end life is going to do what it is going to do anyway.

NB : I don’t pray to stay on this hustle for as long as I have spent anymore. For anyone that understands projectile.

Conner44:


Awesome piece.

Do you also have any advice for those of us who are also struggling with ehailing but aren't graduates or weren't fortunate enough to attend a university?

Omoapena:
I’ve given up all hope in this ehailing, I can’t continue this nonsense any longer…

Crvrider:


I think you're missing the point. But just to summarize: you do not have a say when you die! Or do you think people who have lived to be 100yrs have not made life threatening decisions that they some how came out alive from?

Glithronix:

Na you did it wrongly as I've once said here.
If you accept a ride on indrive, don't call the passenger. Just send them a message on the app and drive to pick up. If the passenger cancels before you get to the PU, you will get notified and money will be added to your refund purse.
Mistake some drivers always make is that, they will call passenger before they even start moving and they will cancel if passenger no pick their calls. In such case, indrive will take your money.
Best to do is, don't call passenger. Just send message.
The only time you can call passenger is when you don click arrive at the PU point. If any cancellation should happen after waiting for 5mins, you will get your money in your refund purse.
Note: if you message some passengers, dey no go reply but will call you by themselves, once they call you with a number, na the number make you call from your phone dial pad. Don't call from the app link.

Much respect, baba.

northbird:


I disagree.. I have no statistics to back this up,most fatal cases involving drivers and their cars happened during the ungodly hours of the day.
That means, a precedent has been set. So if a driver then now choses to drive at night and to worsen it, pick strangers from a notorious bus stop.
Then, the chances of being mugged has been certainly increased by that said driver.

Olayetan:
Indrive can be so frustrating and making someone angry unnecessary, how can one accept a ride and drive down to pickup only for the rider to cancel the trip at pickup location and indrive will just remove their commission within minding whether you went on that trip or not....


I'm so frustrated rn

AOB1:
My honorable drivers in the house please which engine oil is best for my 2006 Toyota Corolla between 5w30 and 20w50 Mobil because the person I bought the car from said he is using 20w50. Please I want you guys to help me out because I just bought the car and I don't have any experience about car. Is 20w50 good for the car or I should change it to 5w30, bro I need your advice on this.

Satan wants to kill, steal and destroy from Man

God asks man to pray

Man refuses to.

God blames man for not praying, instead of Satan.

Question: Why not blame Satan, instead of innocent man that didn't even want wahala in the first place?

You're very funny, sir

BAZ001:


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.

izzou:


So, who do we blame?

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

nitigriti:
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?

Olayetan:



All this still doesn't guarantee one safety...



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.


An evil person will want to perfect his evil deeds.
