@ mc debola.

We can't compare Lagos and abuja . But 1,000 pages to 7 pages! . Haba. What kind of dormancy is that.

Abuja uber drivers . please come out and share your experiences. You don't have to tell us about your earnings.

But @ least give inputs so that people can be guided accordingly before investing.

I believe I am speaking the minds of a lot of abuja folks interested in this e hailing gig.

@ mcdebola
We know Lagos has a bigger market than Abuja and Lagos riders are more financially buoyant than abuja riders.

But I was expecting more inputs from the uber drivers in abuja.


@ pezok u mean active watsap or Instagram.

@ phranex

Mr app developer.

Drive on the uber/ taxify platform for a week and test your hypothesis .
Let's see whether you can deliver 30k.



Talking of drivers eating of ur sweat.

Whose sweat will bring the cheese that you are about to share 65/35?

I maintain my earlier stand. YOU are not empowering any driver by bringing a car. You are helping yourself.

Already calculating 9k *7 = 63. :-
Oga ! Do you work 7 days a week?. So why do you want your drivers to drive 7 days/ week.

Typical Nigerian employer .

@ phranex

I suggest you do it yourself.

Stop putting all uber drivers in one box.

Putting uniforms on drivers!

The typical Nigerian employer

@ phranex

The driver and the car owner are partners in progress.

You talk about remitting 30k weekly to you. You believe its so easy to drive about. Why do corporations employ drivers to drive their executives? Oga . its not class or status.

Driving for extended periods interferes with the creative and critical functions of the brain.

You think 30k will drop without some real physical driving efforts from the driver ?

Let me give it you straight up
"YOU are not empowering anyone by bringing your car to the platform. Its a win - win

Without the efforts of the driver, you can't make money .

I think you should try and drive on the uber/ taxify platform for a day so as to correct the erroneous impression that you are helping the driver.

No Sir , you help yourself.

Lagos is more expensive.
Accomodation is the only expensive item in Abuja and even at that it depends on where you want to live.

Services ( are relatively affordable) in Wuse 2 , Maitama,the supposedly equivalents of V.I and lekki in Lagos.

For instance barbershops in wuse 2 and maitama don't charge more than #2,000 per haircut. Meanwhile a similar outfit in V.I will cost you at least twice that rate.

Look @ transport.
Berger to Lagos island ( Oke Arin Market/ Ebute ero) will cost you #250 by bus. A distance of less than 20km

Suleja to Berger bus stop will cost you #250. by bus. A distance of About 40km.

Note both scenarios involve using expressways. so the argument of traffic gridlock holds no sway.

I give it to the consulting firm.

Abuja is overhyped. Lagos is way more expensive than Abuja.

@ ykman
Go to the uber Lagos thread. Check out oga Gazzuz n oda gurus there. They will advise accordingly

Pick up from your doorstep.

Safety first.

@ rottmy. Let us run this case scenario. You are single and you work with the government.
I
In suleja self contain is 80,000/ annum .
Transport to berger/ town- 250
To and fro- #500.
22 working days-#11,000
I year- #132,000 ( transport)
Total- #212,000

Another case
Say gisiri.(nicon junction
Self contain #130,000
T.p to work -150
To and fro - #300
22 working days- #6,600
I year- #79,200
Total- #209,200

You will pay more by living @ suleja the transport costs creep gradually, hence you mite not notice.
(did they tell you its over 40km from berger.) .

@ rottmy.
If you don't have a car . it's a no no.
If you close late . you find it hard getting a bus @ nite. A lot of people @ bus stop

If you are looking for affordable accommodation . check out "gishiri" . a settlement by Nicon junction.

Lagos seems to have an active uber driver participation than Abuja.

Some drivers in abuja mite not even know that nairaland exists.

Or is it a case of there is not much to share? Cos I 'm just wondering why the low turn out on this forum

1. I am surprised at the Abuja uber drivers thread. What is really wrong? 7 pages of a topic for over a year!

2. Looking at the Lagos thread wit
h over 1,000 pages. One will begin to wonder if we have uber drivers in abuja.

3. Please come out and make this thread a lively one. Haba!

HonNEAT:
It will be a little bit difficult. Enter motor to area1, stop at National Hospital, cross to the other side climb up the bridge, you will see cars going to Secretariat, tell them Church Gate. (Trekkable but long ) This road is cheaper. When are you going? and which part of kubwa are you? I can drop you if it's a day am free. In Kubwa also.

@ abiriba
1.Take a bus from kubwa going to berger . its #100.
2. Wen you get to berger ask for sky memorial junction. You can walk if you like. From there take "along" taxi going to area 1 its #100.they will pass through area 10.

Tell the driver you will
Stop at ship house/ defence house. Walk down to U.s embassy. Its along the junction facing ship/ defence house.

1. Ladies generally marry up the socio- economic class. A Lady earning around 100- 120,000 monthly will fancy men earning above that pay grade. How many young men earn above 120,000 in the " Nigeria" of today?

2. Fear of the unknown by the eligible bachelors

3. The Nigerian economy.

[quote author=victorian post=70847791]Most men are not ready to be responsible, that's why.

And women these days prefer to be single have kids, than settle with just any guy for marriage sakes. Gone are those days, a woman will be suffering and smiling.

More women are not ready to be treated as slaves in a marriage they spend their hard earned money on. The guy more or else doesn't contribute anything other than sex, collects her money and he will still be as controlling as fucvk! Some slaps here and there, feeling he should be able to make her scared of him.
Why would a man instill fear in his wife instead of respect from his wife
So,
Most single ladies don't need such stress biko.

Personally, I can never marry a controlling, abusive, lazy man. [left][/left]I rather remain single and have kids instead. ./quote]

Watch what you wish for.
