Good evening people, I hope you are doing great. There is this pal of mine in the office that we usually discuss getting vehicle on HP to do Uber. For so long, none of us has been lucky. The country hard small, dealers no even reason our matter at all as soon as we mention HP.

But my friend just got a deal, someone who related to him somehow according to what he told me, who sell cars in Osogbo has agreed to give him a Honda Accord 2013 4 cylinders on HP, he has paid the initial 1 million requested and I got to know cos he asked me to sign a guarantors form.

Now, my question is, how suitable is a 2013 Honda Accord for the business?

Mind you he is a Civil Servant that earns around 139k and he said the car will serve him as personal car and for hailing.

He said the man has two of the cars and if I am willing he will put in words for me and I can kickstart process of picking the other.

Please guys, your opinion. Thanks

See the pic of what a 2013 Accord 4 cylinder looks like.

Well I don't know much about honda cars but since you have a paid job, if your weekly/monthly expenses permit, you can be paying for the car with your salary every month and use the car to hustle on Saturdays and sundays for your personal expenses and family upkeep.
I hope the total package is not too high, 2013 car on hp for ehailing is not one of the best options but if that's the only option you've got. Cool then

Funny enough, I can't remember who added me to the group. But I know the person contacted me from here.

Though these groups are quite boring oh!
You might even remove yourself within a week.

If you spend 1hr without visiting the group, you'll come back and see 2000 unread messages and they can talk rubbish.
Quite informative sometimes though.

I can relate

But cheerfulgiver and Kanuisagoat no go dey there o make Dem no chop all d reward finish

It's a lovely idea but na round one I go ja

confusedworld17:
The saka wey me need na that one wey you fit put under passenger seat so that the fare go dey be double.

Na the one wey you go put inside passenger purse dey

kanuisagoat:
You mean going to the back of the vehicle and coming up with a different price. That is not saka in the real sense.

Saka is using an app that alters your GPS to increase fare. It does not work any longer

That was screenshot, I know what saka is

Roughly 5 weeks, the journey so far.. all SH owned.
Soon I pray make sales alert wake me.
I don't like that swap logo, it doesn't go with the name abi na me think so?

Pearl1910:
prove it, except what I know as saka is different from what u guys are talking about

I don't have to (maybe in a closed group), I know it but I don't use it. I have close guys that use it and proving it may cast it.

Pearl1910:
Except the Rider no Sabi road and u carry am pass long journey...that's d only sakaish thing that works now.

Okay I've heard you lol

Pearl1910:
No be that kain saka we dey talk na. Saka no dey work again.

No be screenshot o

CheerfulGiver:
Will reply soon or never

This man craze no be here

kanuisagoat:
This one you're speaking in parables. Does this mean it still works?

People still do saka, as at last month somebody still posted a trip detail where the driver sakaed him/her. I can't remember where exactly but I had the knowledge of what the driver did before I came across the post

kanuisagoat:
I stand to be corrected but there's nothing like saka again

Anything that alters your GPS now disables the bolt app.

The more you look, the less you see

Please quote me on a dead thread abeg

Olayetan:
I have a friend who bought a 9ja used car, ever since he bought the car, it has always been from one issue to the other, funny, he hasn't used the car to work for a whole week smoothly without doing 1 or 2 things on the car.


Best is, buy tokunbo and maintain the car well.

Your friend's mechanic is probably getting cheap parts that fail almost as soon as they're installed. Knowing what to change and getting a good part will bring the car back to life, sometimes it may cost more than buying a toks car though

As for me, I prefer tokunbo. I don't like stress

Naaa..... Far from it, it would be close if you said R instead of J

Shanid:
the car vibrates a lot especially when the AC is on... I fixed that 18k and it's stable...now I change the d oil and did wheel balancing and alignment .. I have changed the shock front and bbac...lower arm too , and bush in all within 2 months .

Then the problem is the car, not the hustle. If it is your car, keep enduring till you fix everything that comes up, from there you will enjoy your ehailing hustle.

ogunvic41:
Reserve your energy for weekend... Highest demand comes on FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY
FRIDAY- U CAN DO 20K TO 25K IF U WORK FROM 5AM TO 10PM DEPENDING ON UR STRENGTH
SATURDAY-U CAN DO 20K TO 30K. WORK FROM 7AM TO 11PM DEPENDING ON YOUR STRENGTH
SUNDAY-U CAN DO 20K TO 30K
MONDAY-18K TO 22K. 5AM TO 10PM
EAT WELL REST HAVE SHORT BREAKS, CHEW GUMS TO PREVENT SLEEP..
TAXIFY ACTIVITY MEANS TRUST, LET YOUR SCORE BE HIGH IF POSSIBLE 100%, IT MEANS SHORT WAIT TIME. SAME AS UBER ACCEPTANCE/CONFIRMATION RATE..
USE GOOD PHONE TO AVOID FAILED TRIPS( ANDROID 6.0 UPWARDS)
FAST INTERNET- SPECTRANT 4G LTE
LETS MOVE LAGOS...

This is how I was motivated, I think it's still a better way to motivate drivers and intending drivers than just screenshots, they will know what they are getting into before tendering that resignation letter. Truly there's money in ehailing, but sadly it is not for the weak.
Peace always

Shanid:
it'ss a camry 04 sir it's neat and okay.i work 10am to 7pm

How much did you spend on fixing the car, and what are the things you fixed? Are the issues recurring?

Shanid:
Greetings sirs , how do you go about this hustle I need enlightenment coz m trying to understand this; you work a week make some money and next thing is....you use 90% of the money to fix the car

Maybe the car is not sound enough for the hustle or you're not making enough money. You shouldn't be using 90% of your earnings to fix the car

pope191:
Boss I still do 19k on indriver today and I deh my house, is not as bad as u make it seem. Bolt gives more money these days cos of surge, but do u think riders that r aware of indriver will use bolt?

I think best thing is to have the two apps and filter trips in between

Slickleo:
Cheii Uberbolt drivers na e u berate like dis, besides u Neva hear say some kidnapas Dy collect recharge card. SMH

Lol I never hear that one sha but I hear of one certain place where they just kidnap anybody, they know at all at all will drop from their loved ones. Kidnappers sef don get grade now

Springboot:
So many babies on nairaland, so you think a criminal who has decided to go into kidnapping would risk his life because of an uber driver? How do you even connect posting earnings with kidnappers, there are better threads on nairaland where people make millions, kidnappers haven't been there, it's now drivers. Lol. Funny kid.

Thanks for your contribution old man

dru23:
The young man wanted me to show him my business earnings....... In order for me to show him my earnings he has to work hard for it .. But obviously I am not going to show it to him ..but I do offer path that might give him an idea what the possibility might be could be should be etc .........i offered him a start .but it is up to him to take the offer.......

Now in terms of what uber drivers earn weekly, daily or monthly. I don't think it is a secret that , people already have a rough idea ...

So kidnappers kidnapping uber drivers I don't how you were able to put those two in the same sentence. I have not yet to hear any stories that a kidnapper held an uber driver for ransom ...

What your concerns should be is the type of cars driven for uber. Uber has made corolla and parts more expensive than ever.... We do hear uber drivers getting killed for their cars..

Any life lost is a big deal whether na 1 or 2 .. But generally the percentage is small when u look at it. Especially when compare the amount of cars ratio to number of drivers getting killed because of their car ..

Below is what should be the focus ...ways to prevent such things from happening.. This 1 of the many reasons I use a civic for my uber fleet .......

You made a lot of sense.
At the bolded, it is not happening now doesn't mean it cannot happen. Things are degenerating rapidly, crime is not excluded. Oil workers and white men were hotcakes then, whoever thought they would ever descend to kidnapping secondary school students?
Impossible doesn't seem to exist anymore

dru23:
It is 7:39am June21 my time and saw this.. Sorry for late reply ......

Nobody is forcing anyone to display their earnings .. This forum is been run by bullies that try to discourage others... The bullies are afraid that if people post their earnings partners might increase their rental ( highly understandable enough). Everyone should be free to show their earnings dashboard without fear and intimidation of others........we are here to uplift and encourage others to be their best........

The oil business is very very capital intensive. And it is a volume business. I import by oil from the USA directly.......

It is a niche market and lifestyle market..it is for people that are automotive enthusiast. So you have to know your market very well . it is a lifestyle

Below is my visit to Tokyo Japan Auto show in 2019. I plan to go again after the Tokyo Olympic ...So am passionate about these things.......

If you are passionate about something the money comes later.... So this what I will do for you .....

We are looking for trusted distributors for our oil business... If you raise a capital of 2million naira . we can supply you oil .... From that 2million you can make good profit ......we will sell to you only at wholesaler prices..........

Prove to me you are passionate enough and we can do something together....nothing is free in these life not even information ...but my offer is start


Ps keep that $200 you will need it

He said post earnings, it's cars you're posting sir
Just pulling your legs o.

As for people going against posting of earnings so that partners will not increase rent, that's only half the truth. Many are car owners who are only concerned about unintentionally calling the attention of government and criminal elements who would use the information against us.

This is not a closed group so we cannot control who gains access to whatever we post, but that doesn't mean we should dictate to people what they should post or not post, we should only channel our energy towards making them see reasons why their posts may do more harm than good, and it is completely left for them to decide whether the reason is good enough for them to stop or not.

If they continue, getting violent is not the way but instead find a way to let outsiders viewing in stealth mode know it's not everybody that makes this much by posting our low earnings too... Equation balanced

So if you're a kidnapper coming here to look at posted dashboards, no be every driver dey make this kain money o abeg before you go go kidnap person wey dey drive 5 hrs a day Na 5000 naira ransom you go collect.

I come in peace

Pearl1910:
Abeg make we form our WhatsApp group.
I like una Wella..but I feel say e no go sweet because people no go yab person again wen they see say na their papa mate them they talk to

xoftt:
After what seemed to be like forever... I was given a logo. How does it look

Cool

kanuisagoat:
Impressive. I don't know why people get angry at this

For me and I'm sure for many others, it motivates us to do more.

It would be more appropriate if posted on a WhatsApp or telegram group where it will only be seen by those it is meant for. Just my opinion, and yes It's impressive, I cut cap for the giver

davit:
Try bring back your bolt account bro. Indriver yaf cast.

Na the thing o, bolt just wants to force me to paint my car now because of minor scratches. Now the value will drop lol

Felicity001:
Indriver gods, pls assist is swiftly needed here. I want to top up my account but I'm having challenge using the transfer method... Don't have a debit card so transfer is the inly option left.

Which pin do I use to finalize the payment because ive tried my mobile banking password and my 4digit pin yet it wont authorize the payment.

Can someone else help me pay while i transfer the money to the person?

Urgent pls, indriver na him win am for this rain o.

cc: pope191, davit, chuscmore, shollywendy, deedee, who else o... In fact everybody

The day I tried the transfer method I was also frustrated, I ended up paying with card.
I think you need to have token activated for your account before you can use transfer.

Silence is golden...it's you life, your hustle, your choice, your money.

When you post in a public domain, then you should expect public opinion, but you must know you don't have to reply all the opinion because it's theirs not yours, and it doesn't change anything about you...it's your life your hustle your choice your money. Let peace reign bro..

None of us will die young ....in 100years from now probability of anyone of us being around is very low.

Watchtower beside forte oil.

Those police no get crazy jor. Yes its one way most times they will turn you back with 200 naira egunje. Na me area be that those days.

I swear, very lovable people who are just looking for their daily bread. The day I passed there they collected 500 and still later let me pass. They just said next time I should pass the next road
