It is one thing to get a car for 500k Naira or less.. It is another thing to know how to maintain the car .. Nigeria or Africa as a whole, except for South African that I know of .. We lack maintenance culture.. And you know that uber and bolt riders will not tolerant cars that have issues at all ... in a situation that owner of the car will manage whatever issues the car has .. A rider will not tolerant that and will end up giving the driver a bad rating.. If the driver's rating is bad enough , he will be blocked until those issues are address.. By that time the driver has no savings in his account.. And he would end up looking for another car drive ...meaning he is now looking for a partner to get a car from ... And the circles continues and continues .. This is why car parts is a big business in Ladipo... until we change our maintenance culture , drivers will never be able to own their own cars successfully ....Most drivers can't even maintain partners cars ,so it is their own car they will now maintain? I know how much money I spend in taking care of my fleet.. Majority of owners could not do what I do .....

Luxurydriverng:
Y not get your own car, u can add some few more thousand and get you vehicle. Trust me it's better than delivering. Chat me I can recommend vehicles Less than 500k you can use for uber.

kodred:
Hmmm with the way things are, I wouldn’t really advise it except of course there’s some money stashed somewhere.

When repairs hit you for HP ehn, you go remember your village people.

kodred:
Not a bad deal. But HP can kill a man sha because you’d be solely responsible for fixing any and everything.

Rental is good for you to save some money first though.

If you have some money saved or you have a go-to person/people for funds then grab the deal otherwise, don’t be in a haste to own a car.

2mwr am Meeting up with them. Please I need your take, and also creative way to negotiate the terms.. Like reducing the amount because am paying it in a year or accept the amount and spread it over 2yrs etc

Guys things are taking a twist.
The new car I got that got bashed on the day I collected it for the previous driver(the day I was suppose to go for uber and taxify inspection)
These was on Friday, so on Saturday went to panel beater, Monday sprayed it then took it to the office today because the fleet manager asked me to come. He said the owner of the car wants to see the car because of the recent accident complains.i went the guy didn't show up only for the driver I took the car from to call back and said they want to give out for higher purchase 1.5M to be paid for in a year.

That's N31,250 per week the car has not be driven up to a year they bought the car early these year my guy was the first person to drive it, not accidented car, the car is in great shape when he took it.. Even now it is just the two front tire, and the driver side tire hub.

Guys is it a good deal? Naija use 1.5Mto be paid for in a year

Freshprince91:
At all bro, I went back home early, had some issues to attend to with my brother.
Like i said, they fixed the another pump in my Ford Mondeo aka Evil Spirit and my brother has been driving it round since the week he gave me his. He embarked on some long journeys throughout the week ( Surulere, Iyana oba, Eputu town and all) and the issue of jerking and abrupt stop didn't occur again. Its just a week test run drive anyway, after fixing the third pump ( the other two had no pressure according to the Ford mechanic fixing it).
So, i set out early this morning to see how it works, got a trip to Victoria island from Maryland and the rest is history (had to crash at my friends office at ikoyi around 1pm-4.20pm) Local man was yarning on the steering and hunger dey use my belle kick ball

Please, help me review this fare, if its accurate

Please your candid advise is needed.
Is 2.5M HP with 300k down-payment and 25k weekly remittance reasonable for a 2004 Toyota Camry on uber? Thanks in advance

What a bad experience. I wonder why some men do that. I guess it is mostly a deliberate act to disgrace the Lady, but it is an extremely wicked act. If only they know that act could lead some ladies to suicide.

May God help her and you also for at least lightening her load with encouragement.

tunlapapa:
Now this is when Uber will lose some drivers and end up losing trips/riders(riders will have to wait longer cos of fewer drivers online at the moment and the impatient ones will use the alternative).
We are stylishly back to the era of 25% and drivers will continue to groan in pains for the there is nothing they can do(no union).

fasa199:
Does Uber and Bolt give riders orientation of asking

dru23:
Well maybe you can join the female doing massage work.. But the female can make 100k with an extra happy incentive... for you I don't know how much u can make if you throw in " happy ending " incentive... we all have choices to make either way .. Am not here to Judge anyone ... keep in mind not all money is good money

dru23:
Every job has its risk my brother.. The 100k naira she makes a night comes with huge risk.. Are you willing to take that risk? The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.

nitigriti:
We will make it happen someday sir. Maybe at that biiiiissssshhhhh party Izzou and Pocohantas are planning.

Freshprince91:
12k fuel to make 70k? Bros may be na electric car. The average fuel that could deliver that sort of return can't be less than 20k.

diportivo:
my profound gratitude to nitigriti

after I posted that I was looking for someone willing to do offline from airport to egbeda,he responded



I quoted him,sent my number to him and asked him to sms me so I cld call him back...he didn't, instead he called me

the deal was to help ferry some ppl from the airport to dopemu,while I meet him up and pick those people.i told him the flight will land by 8:15

he agreed,told me he will do it for free,and at some point,asked me to send the address gangan instead on having to come meet him...ofcos I declined,as I felt he had done too much already

flight didnt land till around 8:30pm,and he couldn't even get to pick then up till around past 9....this man waited,patiently,while my people were delayed,called then with his phone to connect with them,and picked then up

not only that,he came all the way to shasha to drop them off,that was around past 10,and he didnt collect a dime

ahhh......even me,I no fit do am...I am not that nice

I just wanna use this medium to thank him publicly,even tho what he did was in private...I pray that he will see helpers in all spheres of his life...and that he will get countless favours from strangers

I mean,he doesn't know me, we have never said a word to each other on here and he still rendered a selfless service...despite not being an uber driver oh

I say make baba siddon make we do 1-1 for the road,he no gree....he reluctantly asked for "canned something" but they didnt av at the bar....I'm sure he was happy inside cos baba sha didnt want any form of gratitude apart from word of mouth

nitigriti........thank you so so so much

radautoworks:
Aww.. Okay I don park one side

Gentlelife50:
As in Bro, we are only three. Me and you and one other person, we know ourselves.

pocohantas:
Obviously...



Yea, riders are always rude. Drivers are always right and innocent.

I am obviously getting enlightened.

peeps4u:
We learn every day. Drivers can cancel on their own and still get paid, but it might look dubious hence the request for riders to cancel.
Like I said this thread will enlighten a lot of people.

adsmaster:
Rental bro...... As a matter of fact he brought me into the game when I was having issues at my place of work and needed a new landing pad before relaunching...

He remits 30k and has always been Consistent,no Saks as a matter of fact he drive on uber platform. His target is 20k, yes 20kper day and he has 95% success rate in achieving that figure every day of the week. He said its mindset when I asked him how he does it, he said once you focus your mind, it becomes easy to hit it, nature will find a way to bring it your way. Please don't take away the fact that he puts in the time, lots of it if need be.

He is leaving for Italy on Saturday. He is going to school.he enrolled for a masters program in Rome business school, so with the one year visa in Italy his wife and kid will come to visit and spend time with him while he works on a strategy to settle down in any parts of Europe.

So it's possible to achieve it, that which you have set for yourself that requires finance from these hustle all you got to do is put in the work
