Exactly my thought

delzbaba:
You took 48 bullets and still waited for someone to smash your head with a pestle? Why not run to fight another day like your oga.

I disagree with the last part though. I think Cheerfulgiver is a case study. In peace I'm still coming.

dru23:
The honest truth here is we are on a different level. The reason is am based in the USA and am closer to the market than you.
Meaning that I can source for cars alot cheaper and faster than you. And sourcing for dollars is alot cheaper for me .........so let us get right down to business below......

In any business you do . you either in for the long term or short and you either have small capital or large capital.. Another advantage I have over you ....

Since I have the capital and competitive edge over you .I decided to go for the long term investment. Meaning that I might not make huge profit at the beginning . but if I do things the right way I will make profit later on in the business......


Tokunbo vs Naija used cars ......We all know for a fact that naija used cars on uber is a big risk. There are so many hidden problems that will cost short term or long term......
Naija used cars on uber will more than likely to break down than a tokunbo car. Each time your car is sitting at the mechanic you are losing money . Your lossing down time . you have to take those down time as part of your losses.

And we all know that at times before a mechanic attends to you it might few days to few hours. You still have to calculate those time has lost revenue....


Tokunbo cars..... Since my uber cars are Tokunbo. It will cost me more upfront vs Naija used cars. But I will not suffer as much break down, down time as ur naija used cars ... Yes it looks expensive now but in the long run it will pay off ....

And while your naija used car will likely if lucky last you six months on Ehalling. But mine will last me at least 2 years or more. I gave an example of my red 2003 civic that was bought Tokunbo. That civic as been on uber for almost 3 years now and the car is still running smoothly Another advantage over you be that.........

Also keep in mind I have not 1 or 2 cars on uber ..But I have multiple cars ..meaning that I have easy access to funds to buy more cars or better yet I can easily afford to spend 100k to 200k to put my Tokunbo cars to uber standard......

Now if you take your emotions out of it and look at the list of repairs that I posted... You just look at 223k naira and didn't bother to carefully read the list....

You can see the list are combination minor things that cost big...
Example.. Once the Honda Civic arrives we do counter balance of tires and rims.. To give the car higher ground clearance. We buy bigger rims and tires. The cost this time around was 45k naira.....

I always budget 100k to 200k when putting my Tokunbo cars ready for uber standard....we try as much as possible not to go over 200k. And also once we put the car together we look for a good driver to match the car with.. We just don't give out tokunbo cars out to anyone like .......

So by spending more now. I have peace of mind that no repairs for at least 4months . only oil change or just minor wear and tear that will not caused a significant amount of down time ...........

Once you start expanding your own business u will understand much better....... You might still wonder how I still make profit . But a business man will never reveal to you his trade secret. One day when u get there you will understand......

Indeed, what goes down will go up. I just wish all drivers can understand that last part and stop being mumus to these entitled riders. As per bad odour, na so I carry Hausa olosho yesterday night. Omo come perceive correct aboki perfume. Thank God na short distance trip.

InfinityEstates:
How do you guys cope with the smell abi na pungent odour coming from riders. Some na mouth odour (and they wouldn't stop talking), some body odour, some just finished taking weed, some wack perfumes that would want to make you puke. Na God dey help person sha.

Then there's this entitlement mentality that some would have, which you'll think you are used to, but then you'll just see someone display a new one that would make you just shake your head.

So last night I picked up a guy from the mall. He bought half bag of rice and some other things sha. Got to his estate and after going through bad roads he pointed at his gate that I should honk. In my mind I was like hope this wère doesn't expect me to drive in o (e no dey hard dem). I just parked in front of the gate, honked and ended the trip. He was like oga you have to enter, I cannot carry that bag of rice. In my mind, see this guy o, because of 25kg rice wey you buy I just told him I don't drive into compounds in the night. As I looked through the rear view mirror, if you see eye wey this guy look me ehn, I just smiled in my head. I know last last na rating no suffer am. But then again, what goes down must surely go up.

Guys, why will one be in a high surge area and Bolt will be sending trips without surge? Anyone experiencing this too? It is so annoying,

In another story, I abeg bolt dey give bonus today? I never see any. Or may be cos I didn't complete that of yesterday.

1 ogbanje girl no make am happen.

You dey owe them o. See my balance

Felicity0001:
Yeah I've noticed something because I really don't know how this their commission thing works.

In two different occassion I topped up 1k each and my balance was showing -N550.

Current balance started same way now see my balance.

So drivers still rush the rubbish fares? Na wa o

pope191:
As in, had to call it a day this morning wen the prices r not making sense and drivers r just rushing it like that

I'm suspecting you and black bishop anyways.

shollywendy1:
Davit and tojahh are the same. Don't ask me why .
Besides, how come I'm not seeded in any group. Am I that lazy?

Indriver yaf cast

pope191:
3 earners this week? Nah wheelbarrow the drivers on Indriver they push?

Still beats my imagination why drivers will allow riders change destination or keep you waiting for stops. It is called cheating the system. I no dey do am o. Else, we end the trip at the first stop

Felicity0001:
One stupid young man tried dpimg that shit to me and menu fall him hand wella.

Got his req at Finbars Rd in somolu/Unilag area and he called me without info he'll be having a stop over.

Got to pickup called him simce GMap was glishy in his area... Just after I'd started trip was when be was saying it like a right he'll be having a stop at salvation, ikeja which is his original destination then he'll update the trip to acme rd... At that time I know surge would have been their. Thinking out loud within "and this guys trip is without surge so me u won use abi? No wam!".

Me: will you be taking time?
No clear answer...

He sat behind... Me ma mind my business while i was reminiscing about the whole tin.

Go to destination I quickly ended trip...

Me: sorry I don't think I can wait I'm sorry.

But I told u b4, this is unfair... Bla bla bla...

Me: sorry bro...

He paid and I left.

Na me he won take shine....

Next trip I got to VI on a surge of 1.5

Karma exists. Ask people who are close to her. They will tell you no bliss in that marriage.

MadamVanessa:
I don't think karma exist, because assuming it does, i see no reason why this woman should be enjoying marital bliss after breaking Anita Oyakhilome home.

She's a good gospel singer though.

Guys on indriver, anyone noticed that the app has reduced their fares? 2000 will show max 2600 before. 1000 would give 1300max too. Now dem don reduce am

Cc pope191 chucsmoore

Exactly

donfortune48:
So all you actually need is a proof that he bought an 07 Camry, picture of the car and a milage below 155k.

If he can prove these 3things, you'll pay him the 50k challenge rite?

Below is the information of my 07 matrix coming it next month.
If he can get such data for his camry, it qualifies to win the challenge?

Duke111:
I have proofs to show all of us here that dru and bazoo is the same account. Quote me to prove u right

Can he drive? Short fired

radautoworks:
On the real tho, dru is not a lightweight FR. Cruise is fun but truth is dude has bank but hustles like he's broke.

But can he drive? IDK

I come in peace

Pinshure of the cobra or I dunnt believe

It pays to learn from other people's experiences too. Nice sharing.

GeneralZodd:
Lol. Is part of this business bro, any real hustler on this Ehailing job must have been to aleast 3 different police stations,

Me since I stated this work in 2015, I have been to 7 different police stations in Lagos on different offence commited knowingly and unknowingly.

1 . Ogudu police station : Driving without tinted permit in 2015. I paid fine ₦5000

2. Maroko Police station: Driving one-way at midnight due to bad road. I bailed my car for ₦10,000 with serious begging and pleading. I slept in police station to collect my car the following day. That's was 2016

3. IGando police station: I picked up G boys from ikeja going to Lasu gate, police stop us at IGando bustop, they search phones of those boys and found white women pictures and some tools they use in collecting money from client. I tried to explain to them I drive Uber, they refused to listen, Na so dem carry us go police station. Getting to the station, they compelled us to write statement. Luckily for me, one of the boys called his uncle who happened to be the Commissioner of police Lagos state. He demanded they release us with immediate effect. They freed us immediately without wasting time. That was in 2017.

4. Maroko Police Station again. : I picked up a Nigerian Artist based in UK in Lekki phase 1 close to Don jazzy's Mavin studio. The dude was going to Palms ShopRite Oniru. On getting to his destination he alighted and paid me. After 10mins of driving off from ShopRite, I got a call from him that his wallet is missing. I searched the nooks and crannies of the car I didn't find any wallet. I called to tell him I didn't see his wallet, I had to drive back to Palms to clarify myself. Getting there, we both searched the car again. We didn't see the wallet. He insisted we go to the station. We got there and entered there was no officer to attend to us. We drove back to his pick up location, he searched his house and found his wallet on the dinning table. 2018

5. Somolu Police Station: Google Map took me through one way, as I was about to exit the one way Some police men hiding for one corner jump out from no where stop me, collected the car keys, impounded my car and took my particulars and my car keys. They were threating that my car will be Auctioned for taking one way. I had to beg and beg. We sha settled at ₦8,000. This was 2019


6. Ikorodu Police Station: I took BRT lane, because I wasn't familiar with Ikorodu road network. And there was serious traffic. Task force stopped me at Majidun and ceased the car. This was the biggest fine I have ever paid. ₦35,000. Initial they were demanding for ₦90,000. That was 2019


7. Ikeja police station: This happened recently. I was coming from festac that faithful night after dropping off rider. I decided blow to empty back home, it was pass 12 and I didn't know lockdown was still on. Naso I jam police for ikeja underbridge. They stopped alot of cars and took us to the police station. They were claiming we violated Covid19 rules and they would lock us up in a cell. , But deep down in my mind I knew they were trying to shalo us. At d end everybody Paid ₦3000 to bail himself




Police matter and Ehailing business are like 5 & 6, is something one will encounter, but the most important thing is to always learn from every mistake or offence commited so it doesn't repeat again. Because sometimes the subsequent mistake or offence might cost you alot than the previous ones.


I am patiently waiting for the Gist

He said don't quote him.

Blinking44:
Thank you bro.

Na the base of oloshoism. If you have girlfriend there, sorry Na ur case.

anselm791:
What is happening in Lekki Ajah?

I just pity parents who have female children this era, especially the ones who are in the university or don't stay with their parents. Come to Lekki Ajah axis, the matter go tire you

Same here. Also, I had candy sweets handy in my car back then. But today, even tissue is no more. These riders don't deserve any special treatment.

kanuisagoat:
Na so I dey buy perfume every week back then. Now I don't even bother with it.

CheerfulGiver:
So far, so good.

Whatever you posted here, so many people have done more than that. Despite mine being part time work on this, I have exceeded that so far, thanks to my constant offlines. So what the fuss about?

Thanks bro

Felicity0001:
Tested and trusted... Give him a try and tank me later...

0816 270 0775... Just mention ecbc to him

His workshop is opposite that xpression company aling iju ishaga rd.

Abeg who gets correct plug for car AC? My follow come compressor don dey give issue. Need to change it and vaccum the system. I will prefer tech around ikeja Ogba, Magodo axis. Anyone?

Exactly my thought. There is no way you earn up to that in this platform without your body and car getting the beating. Each time I chase bonus, my body dey feel am no be small. Except there is something he is not telling us, and which can never be legal anyways.

GeneralZodd:
The dashboard looks good. But you forgot to tell them the sacrifices and price you pay for this huge earnings Abi you dey use Photoshop edit figures

Hmm. Naija Police can never change.

And do you know that the guy died early this year?

Pearl1910:
It's true there is burnout in this hussle. Like everyother thing enthusiasm decreases over time, but what separates individuals is desire, drive, passion and circumstances.
Different people entered d job for different reasons, people are made-up differently and at some point in time u will meet your equilibrium or exit the biz (for whatever reason). This is a fact.
It is also a fact that there are people who have been consecutively and consistently hitting the top bar for years while another person's equilibrium is to drop down and relax, having met his target or maybe his body cannot continue at that level. So when I hear stuffs like let's see what u made 3months ago or let's see where u will be 6months from now its irritating, it's just plain irrational. What's d point of that? He can continue making high figures or not but when u choose to condescend, then u r being negative and discouraging. These are undesired attributes.
Some do the work in the interim, some to ease boredom, some to make ends meet, some to hit a target, some as side Hussle and some others have taken it as their main business. You get whatever you put into it.

The guy that won Best Driver in Lagos in Bolt mega challenge 2020 came second in 2019.
He won a brand new car. Mind u he owns his car...so don't think he was on rental that's why he was puting effort.
In 2019 he won fuel, phone and many other goodies. Do u know what it takes to win overall Best driver? Consistently??
When I saw his dashboard, I cap. My point is don't think for a second this work is a spark or a dash...if u find ur rhythm u can go on and on at a high level. If u can't do it but see people doing it don't cast aspersions. Celebrate them and find ur own niche.

Anyone interested in offline trip to ijebu ode this morning should DM now. Pick up is orchid Road axis. Urgent.

Well said.

BAZ001:
Thank you for going down memory lane.
I was a newbie in the days of farenhz and I followed his 15k daily net. If it’s not 15k I’m not sleeping at times till 1am and continue 5am next day but after breaking down on a trip and slept in riders compound. by the time jesusson came I just looked and laugh. Cos I’ve experience and knows better.
I’m indifferent about posting of earnings but ,
1. You must post earnings everyday, every month, so we can see the ups and down. Not rushing to post earnings only on good days.
2. If partners increases rent/hp or ask for outrageous deposit nobody should complain.

But my concern is the curses , we can argue, disagree, a little gbas gbos here and there but not curses.
No matter what pearl1910 and his mentee will say till tomorrow about resigning job and join hustle cos it pays better, I will still say Nooo, we laugh and move on.
If oga Dru23 talk about imported oil better than local oil I will still open eye. We make our stand known. It’s nothing personal.
I will keep saying it dashboard misled me to d hustle, when I got in I realized it’s not as easy as d dashboard reflects. If it pays so much why did jesusson go into keke, why will kanuisagoat hang boot in December?
Why are people having exit plans ?

Ladies will always be problem for us in this work. All my trips today have been with men and everything went well. In fact, I rose from 4.75 to 4.9 until I picked this Ogbanje lady. I set destination to VI and her request entered, going to Phase 1. There was too much water on her street at Chisco. She begged me to come as per other drivers rejecting her requests. Minutes after I started the trip, she said she would change her trip to Chevron Drive. I told her I wa son destination trip and explained how it works. I begged that I might need to help her get a cab. She agreed. I made all the calls, got her the a driver.

Oya pay for the minutes I drove you, she started saying network issue. We were on it for about 10 mins. At last I had to give up, let her go. She collected my account details but I doubt if she will pay. Minutes later I checked rating, behold I don dey 4.6.

These ladies Na wahala for ehaling. I have reported her to Bolt sha
