Funny enough, I actually think the fair is fare. Public transport is ridiculously cheap in this country.

What I actually find disturbing is the 20,25% commission.
Those guys driving on uber are the real mvp. For every N5000 they make, uber takes N1250. Can you imagine that.

I'm curious though, do they charge the same 25% commission outside the country?

deedee44:
Yes thank you for leaving, the air has been fresher
You hate drivers so much.. why would you hate people who put food on your table?

bonnyhope:
Thank you for saying this.

How about this, what do you think

Godfather10:
Lower then 25k, and full maintenance with the price of foreign exchange, you dey try o, for me 35k with full maintenance is about right, as per calling drivers to enquire about their welfare, who does that, I’ll rather run my business like a Hertz or Avis, strictly as a car rental company, l see no need for family discuss it complicates things,
More grease to your elbows Bruv, you sound tough at times but l am seeing a soft side to your character 20k Hmmmmm.
Heard from Ipwood, not seen him for a while, he is quite an interesting and delightful character,
By the way do you import Honda civics for sale

Godfather10:
Old boy Nigerians sabi take advantage if they see a weakness in you and when the business collapses they call you a fool.
Always be repelled by lazy people; they are enemies. They will infect you with their lack of muscle tone and spread discouragement all over you like a blight. Nothing works in their world and optimists are daydreamers. Once it calls for persistence and boneheaded latching on, they see ancestral curses and their world begins to teem with demons nobody can conquer. They want to infuse you with that hopelessness so that you can go sit in the dust with them watching television or scrolling social media or fighting over Messi and Ronaldo all day long. Lazy people are like influenza patients or worse because influenza patients will only kill you with their proximity but the lazy man or woman has a lethal tongue in addition. Don't allow them get so close you begin to roll in bed like them and say nothing works and nothing will work. Keep away from them - they are actual enemies.

can you get me Honda Civic that's good for this job

deedee44:
180k miles is low mileage? I got mine above 120k (i think around 130 or 140k miles) and I always tell myself it was too high that's why I asked so I'll know what to look for next time

deedee44:
Please what is the range of mileage you look for in a car?

Pearl1910:
I think he is asking if u have one to sell.

Godfather10:

peeps4u:

Nothing is wrong with the bolded only on different occasions, maybe sickness or the driver travels and been a while you hear from him.

We all learn sha.

Sometimes I dey wonder if na Human you be but all in all na reality you dey dish out just too stale to swallow. People for naija always like freebies at the expense of the next man. Bro I don block many people for that matter. Call every week to send money as if me i no get problem too

Once you come to me that your wife is in the hospital trying to give birth and the doctor is recommending operation but you don't have the money and want me to borrow or give you, you are wasting your time.

You had 9 months to prepare for your wife's delivery. You didn't think she might require CS to give birth all through the 9 months?

And if you know you won't be able to afford the cost of delivery, you shouldn't have gotten your wife pregnant.

Even me know when I go close to my wife, I personally have a calender on my phone that tracks her safe and unsafe periods. It can be so much work and sometimes frustrating but it's the price I have to pay. After doing all these, someone will expect me to pay for his own lack of planning? Not going to happen.

I have one kid and left to me, I'm perfectly okay with it but my wife would have none of it. She wants a minimum of two. I had to just give in to her but on the condition that the second kid will only come when I decide I'm ready.

drmikeadams:
Part of the problem is . A young man with no steady source of income will run and marry ,,wify is not working,u begin to give birth hup han dan.
..with the naija mentality that children bring good luck


At the end of the day,children no go school, u can't feed them..both hubby,wify and children re frustrated and angry...

Blackbishop:
Boss if you dont get the humor here. Am sorry

Ghost1994:
This comment made my day to be honest.

I have a kid, and have dragged wifey for 10yrs family planning kid is 4years now and I'm not planning to have anything called baby anymore if possible for the rest of my life am done with one.

Yes it's my decision am a car owner. Have got my life to live too so as my wife. Is only in nigeria I see many people not having just simple vacation with their family because they've got plenty children. Children doesn't bring wealth! na your work go make you rich not children. And if you dont have better planning for kids, they'll turn wayward and make you suffer cos you gets double hustle

I met one bros the other day, he was lamenting about how terrible ehailing hustle is and all sort of trash... I sit him down and analyse it to him. If I start my hustle on Monday, I must have 5k separately for contributions, 2500 separately for next day fuel and 2k am dropping in the house. Anything I make after that will go for savings still. That's my principle but this bros get 4kids already and on rental wife isn't working and am wondering how is he coping.

If you're young guy reading this and you've not married yet, have a plan sit your wife to be down. Dont bear kids you can't raise. If na 1 or 2 your power reach, kindly do so. Nigeria problems start from the population.

With ehailing, if you have better planning, and god com bless you say you be car owner wallahi you'll make it if you're focus. Start saving 5k daily that's 25k for 5days simple 100k a month. Live within your standard that's all but I see my guys going to club balling and competing with G boys or having multiple girls.

And if you're a married man/woman reading this kindly have a family planning just bear the one you can raise I believe 2 is very okay for standard of living in naija. Unless you're billionaire even the so called billionaires dont bear children like average and poor class.

All problem in naija can't wipe out by 2023 so please have a plans populations is the biggest problem naija is currently facing

I rest here

chillex8:
Mention names.

deedee44:
Almost? Child labour should break everyone's heart. Not good at all

BAZ001:
Abeg Come and leave this place, no kee me with laugh

Dru have a problem with Nigerians having many children probably he came from a family of battalions 21 boys 7 girls.

peeps4u:
Bro, for the young parents of nowadays, both educated and non educated, poor and rich are now having 2-4 children, even 2 or 3 most times. Orientation has changed, has got nothing with being poor or rich again.

Blackbishop:
Your fowl comparison is dehumanizing why can't you use pig instead

deedee44:
Na today? It's been done before and failed woefully. Many people looking to drive on rental don't have up to 5k sef in their account not to talk of 50k.
People wey dey work sef no get 50k savings na jobless person go come get.
It's like you don't know majority are living from hand to mouth in this country

BAZ001:
Na bad thing you want to implement?
Collect 50k from driver as down payment, is your car not insured ? Or incase driver doesn’t meet up ? Do you still have hoodlum driver in your team, maybe dem don show you pepper?
Just asking for a friend

BAZ001:
Pls explain in simple English, do you mean driver will pay 120k to fast track repairs ?
Just like some agents will take you to uncompleted building and say if you pay for two years rent by next month the house will be ready.

So u think say driver wey no get car to drive go get 120k for savings and will be willing to part with it for repairs
Haba Make una dey fear God

bonnyhope:
Please honda gurus in the house

I intend going for 2005 honda civic reason is that I just need an economic and low budget car.

Please tell me what I need to know about this car

Thank you all

peeps4u:
As long as you get a good civic, civic is as strong as corolla and has a better fuel economy and less expensive to maintain than corolla. You can do market survey for its part in comparison with corolla to be sure.

I'm sure dru23 is yet to see this thread.

He's No1 civic fan on NL

Ghost1994:
Bro dont you think its gonna take him 3-4years before repayment.

Even if he use 2020 model of any vehicle, offline is luck for every driver. You know am a living witness. Only cooperate people do cares about cars and they're limited to Uber and not too many.

I've drove 2017 toyota corolla sport full option. But naija people dont freaking care oh they just wanna get to their destination faster and safer.

With any kind of car you're driving, just make sure your suspensions, bushings, leakage is good and also ac should be good too. Let your interior and exterior be classic and neat.

And drive very carefully. I dont think expensive cars are great game changer for this hustle except if they increase the fare which they will never want to try that for now.

My opinion though.

pope191:
Uncle what do u do for a living?

Bammzzie:
Bro, I dnt think u knw d meaning of zombie cos to me I'm seeing it as an insult to everyone of us here cos most of us here are doing this business to sustain a living either by full-time or part-time career and some lives such as families or friends depends on it too. I knw alot of salary earners that do borrow from Uber drivers. Some has fleet of cars in this business, are u telling me they are dumb to make that choice?? Go to all this Indian companies and see how they are treating people on top 20k salary with 6am-6pm rigorous work o, of which Uber drivers will earn that in a day or 2. Let Uber, bolt etc just pack off and see how unemployment will skyrocket in Nigeria. Lemme just stop here and dnt just be calling people zombies carelessly, I believe we are all mature here. #peace
