Someone told me similar thing, I didn't believe. Wow!

nitigriti:
Yeah sure, on Island. If you are around Ebute-Metta (my office is at Adekunle) and you are free, just call me. We can hang out.

I will like to be calling you.. Everyday

Epphy:
Bro...pls tell me you are not supporting this kind of insults.

I'm not supporting it but someone has to put that guy in his place

eherbal:
then leave the platform. What kind if human being are you?Were you raised by your parents?are you a parent? Are you an ex convict? Are you mad ni?did a maD man sleep with your mummy ni? Are you an outcast ? Were you denied love growing up? Are you impotent? Are you lonely? Do you have a small dick? Are you an ogre(even ogres are known to be nice)
did you sleep with your sister?did your daddy rape you? Do you sleep with the neighbours fowL? How do you get by everyday without getting killed, because everytime you're silent here, I'm always thinking someone has iced you sorrowful arsse.
degenerate piece of leftover shitt from last Thursday's soakaway evac.
if your parents are alive, I need you to sue them for bringing a colossal and most negative loser to the world .your mum should've swallowed the semen that became you. Just one gulp and you won't be here insulting people's parents because yours are a failed one.

Nice one
You hit the nail on the head

chucsmoore:
lol. U re wrong my dear, it's what you feel like eating, it is not about d rich and poor food. I eat anything I feel like eating that doesn't make me poor. Ok what about this, I ate this yesterday. Breakfast, does that make me poor or rich?

You're right bro. Sometimes all I need to survive is ijebu garri and groundnut plus extremely cold water. It doesn't matter how rich I am

Joseph4dlord08:
Well, for a car owner it's still manageable but for a renter it is not at the same time it depends on the weekly charge to rent the car. It's dicey but to an extent it's still ok, but try to bargain for less than 25k per week and then make sure it's a tokunbo so you'll enjoy it. Don't agree to pay more than 25k and if possible 20k.

If you have a tokunbo muscle, can you give it out for 20k returns weekly?

Greetings to you my oga, plz I av offer of Toyota Matrix 2005 for 1.8 million on higher purchase from a friend, to be use on uber /taxify platform. We have not finalized on payback period,
But I want to know from my oga is, if it's a good deal and how much will it be ok to payback monthly and how long do you think I will be able to pay back the whole money . Plz said advise, thanks.

I don't give advice on HP because it's always complicated but the only thing I will tell you is... The deal is as good as the car, get a good mechanic to thoroughly inspect the car first, if car has no issues then 1.8m is cool, pay back between 100k and 120k monthly

curryANDtyme:
Hello house, just to seek ur opinions... Since I finished nysc and I'm not employed yet.. My Uncle said instead of sitting at home, that he can give me his Toyota Camry '05 (which is not faulty, it's just his second car and just parked at home) to use for ehailing but I will be remitting 45k monthly (not weekly oo) since i'm family... I want to ask, with the way market is... Can I deliver 45k monthly (11k weekly) and still have something reasonable to myself?... Please your advices will be highly appreciated

Grab that offer while it stands, you'll NEVER get it anywhere else. You'll conveniently meet up but I'll suggest you open a separate account and be dropping at least 15k weekly, that's 60k monthly.. 45k for uncle and 15k for servicing the car.

And if you are gonna get a Dog, get the one that will be patrolling everywhere like Mopol

umall41:
My Oga, madam, greetings to you all,.
Plz I need your professional advise. I have options of two cars to use on uber/taxify platform, wish one should I go for, Toyota Camry 2005 model or Toyota matrix 2005 model.
I have been on Uber /taxify for few months on weekly rentals but I want to buy my own car from family friends on installmental and this is the option I have. Immediate response we be appreciated. God bless you all.
Thanks ma/sir

With other things being equal, go for the matrix

nitigriti:
Drivers on rental, please ehailing is a hustle you do only for a while, then you move on to other things. The odds are stacked against you, whichever way you think about it. Its only a very few car owners out there that are God-fearing, the rest will eat you raw.
I did ehailing for 18 months, in those 18 months, I incorporated my company and pushed out proposals. I have some projects going, I've been signed up on some contracts. A job desk with good enough salary > #250k monthly awaits me (resumption, 01/03/2019). I've returned the last car I drove to the owner last week. You cannot imagine how relieved I am.

Please ehailing is a side hustle. Quickly arrange yourself and move forward. God bless us all

Congratulations bro, more success

franksam2009:
what concerns AC with thermostat? Oga ur AC compressor is pumping low, I have passed through Similar issue, until I met one lapido man who personally selected a confirm tokunbo compressor for me which I have been using since November no complain so far, no leakage AC still intact, wen u ready to fix it I LL give u his contact

Actually he may be low on gas, he should check of some vents are cooler than others. To know if it's compressor, he should feel the AC while idle then feel it while revving, if it cools while revving then compressor is good as dead

franksam2009:
you are 100% right oo, everyone here already knows he is fraustrated in life, that's why we no dey bother again

I tell you, all I gat for him now is pity

Pete1:
Experts in the house help please. My 2008 Hyundai Elantra AC does not cool once the sun comes out. My AC guy says I should remove the thermostat, but I am not comfortable with that. Experts please help me with a good advice on how to solve this issue. Thanks

Thermostat? I doubt

I have a Toyota 2005 model for Uber not taxify I am giving it out at 20k per week but the person will being it home every Saturday evening cos I will take d car to.church on sunday. The person comes to pick it on Monday morning as.early as 5am. If ur ok please send me mail on. tetwood@gmail.com. tks

Why and how does it matter?

Gentlelife50:
I don't even look ur face if u like be a Hollywood star u are no different from my regular riders unless u prove otherwise, I picked one nollywood actor I have forgotten his name from apple junction all the way to shangotedo then back to shoprite jakonde during the trip I noticed the app has started malfunctioning and told him he said no problem when to his destination we will sort it out. When we got to his destination he said I was the one that was trying to manipulate the app and it's not his fault, I wanted to cry that night because this trip had so many stops.

I changed it immediately for him, Bros so u mean u want to ride from festac to shangotedo then back to jakonde at #1100 and that includes the toll I paid.

I was ready to even fight him at least that will make me feel better if he eventually refuses to pay because I know Taxify will never refund me, fortunately for me his friend that came to pick him asked him if he was given estimate before the he requested for the ride he said yes and that it was #3000. He now mandated him to at least pay the estimated fare that by so doing he will doing the right thing. I know that trip was supposed to be more than 3k but at least half bread is better than groundnut so I had no option than to collect the 3k and left.

Not if you want to soak garri with it lol. I've carried many stars, one saved my number and started using me offline, though he wasn't paying well I still managed it like that until one day that he talked rudely to me. I didn't say a word but I knew that was the last day I would carry him. Maybe he felt he was doing me a favor by being my rider but to me it was the other way round.He has called several times I keep ignoring his call. Star calling me and me doing yanga, I don blow

radautoworks:
... So your solution is to ignore the real problem while killing the car faster...

Lol when the car wanted to kill my pocket faster nko. I service it before clocking 3000 miles anyway, will it still die faster?

After working till 10pm for the first time yesterday. I decided not to leave my house till 10am today. Exactly 10am I went online while I was dressing up, a request came in and the guy was heading to idimu from Abraham adesanya. I already told myself and God that i want to be back home before 3pm. We got to idimu some minutes past 12. Gbam the fare was 6k. Got a request immediately and it reads 4mins away, long trip of about 90mins. Called the rider. She was going to Abraham adesanya...... I was very happy. Got to Abraham adesanya by 2pm. Gbam fare was 5k. I just went to my barber for a nice haircut. Bought fuel inside the gen keg and headed home. Got home 3pm. Happy election guys. Uber continues on Sunday.

It's taxify right? I notice they have this habit of picking drivers that are coming from a particular destination for a trip going back to the same area

Mjosh1000:
If uber and taxify can reduce price so more riders can come onboard and reduce their percentage to maybe 10%.

Lol... Let them just collect our cars for free

dhavydo:
Always ask the rider preferred route to follow and confirm the address on the map after starting the trip... Me I always ask for preferred route even if I'm taking rider from local airport to mm2 or international. Saves you from a lot of snide remarks and eventual poor rating

Lol @ preferred route from mm1 to mm2

Gentlelife50:
My brother please don't beat up yourself too much, it's always like that when u just start.
But if u accept request to places u are not to familiar with kindly beg them to assist you with directions.
Don't be shy openly tell the person u don't know the route though sometimes they will tell u to use your map tell them your map have been misbehaving since morning.
So that they will be solely responsible for the direction if they direct you enter gutter na their business. Lolzz

But sometimes your rating go dey shaky because body too dey pepper some riders.

I had one experience when I started, I got this early morning airport request at Simeon akiolu, Oniru estate.

I was turning the whole estate looking for the main gate as described by the woman because they open the main gate by 6.
The woman end up carrying her kaya with her head to come and meet me at the second gate.

I started trip boom airport, my first time of going to airport from the island.
I wasn't familiar with the map then but I tried to follow the map until the woman said I should concentrate on my driving while she will interpret the map.
At every turn she will tell me to slow down so she can read the map well so we don't miss road.
At a point after iyana oworo she shouted (you know that panick shout) at me to slow down, I had to even halt in the middle of the express so she would be able to tell whether to go straight or follow gbagada apapa expressway. Chaii, it was not fuuny that day.
The woman almost cried, the next thing she exclaimed 'what type of life is this' did I commit any crime to book a cab?
I became more confused.

At the end of the trip she gave me one of the shawarma she bought, I thanked her.
I drove straight to Ajao estate and parked under one big shield, only for me to notice that later my account have been blocked as I was devouring the shawama I was just recounting the whole episode at the same time feeling pity the my victim.

I later mustered up courage and went to Taxify office they read the note the woman wrote them.
She even ended it with na waa for Taxify ooo.

I simply told them the woman insists I should drive so she will direct me.
After everything they unblocked me, so after then if I get request in the island I will tell the rider am not to familiar with island routes. If it's on the mainland I will tell the rider I work mainly on the island.

And give the person the condition that I can only complete the trip if he or she can direct me.
And funny enough it worked, story plenty ooo, we go dey alright las las.

Exactly what I used to do too, I still do it once in a while

eherbal:

Correct person. You understand

kanuisagoat:
What is it with you guys and condescending attitude towards your riders, these riders are the ones paying your bills ffs. Doesn't matter if he is paying you N500, they are your customers and deserve every respect even if you feel they are underserving of it.

To think these are the same guys who will enter the bank and rain insults on tellers and customer service officers when they have issues with their almost empty account. We don't see tellers ranting, they simply apologise and pacify them.

If you know you have issues with your self esteem, please quit ehailing. You're a graduate doing ehailing, so what?

See them claiming for a raise in fare, so you want me to pay premium fare while you use your dirty, bland and ugly corolla to come pick me? You guys are just jokers.

Your name must be kanu

Mjosh1000:
According to the research I did online, PCV abi nah PVC that needs changing.

Okay thanks. I'll look into it. Mine has high mileage though (almost 200k now)

franksam2009:
wow , thank God I never experienced this after switching from mobile XHP to a cheap G-life full synthetic,,. But now u are using XHP is it still burning oil?

Still burning, only difference is I spend less on oil topping
Mine is Toyota Camry though, (big daddy)

pooozeee:
I really want to give this a trial

It's too late bro, it will take them next to nothing to fish you out in no time

izora:
Thanks for your input. I just need to get a car as soon as possible that's why I put the condition there Incase a partner is thinking in that direction.

You will get a car when you will, don't get too desperate

izora:
Thanks for your encouragement

That encouragement WILL ruin your e-hailing career
