. Nope, Toronto is the destination, This is how I will be counting dollar come summer this year

chucsmoore:

infact That's why I need to leave asap. I have a brother in Los Angeles California who works for IBM computers, he earns 100k dollars annually. he has done everything to persuade me to leave the country and come and study I.T and build a career in I.T, wayback 2013 I refused to take his advice then, cos I always believed the money is here. But now nothing will stop me from japaing . What Angryigbodon said is true. Ehailing is a pure waste of time. The business is not design to give u a comfortable life and make u financially bouyant. Its a sustenance business that's give u small amount of money to keep body and soul together. For how long will a reasonable thinking person be doing that. The earlier drivers wake up the brighter their future. I know alot of guys I met in this business who are in this business for more than 5years living hand to mouth. They can't save because of peanuts they earn on a daily. This is my 3years plus in the biz I was fortunate to save some money because I am not married yet. No serious responsibility. I am over due to quit this business and go for something better.

No going back Oga Dru . Wether there is fallback plan or not. Man must upgrade. No ego problems, it is a decision that must be made this 2021

Angry igbo man hit the nail on the head..

Nothing glamorous about UBER driving....

One should have an exit plan.... and the plan mustn't be perfect before one starts exiting...

The winners r lways the app companies...


Professional devpt is Zero...

Bolt will tell you drive miniinmum 200 trips in a month before you Qualify for Healthcare insurance....

Look at the futuristic health implications of driving 200 trips monthly over a period of two years..

Its a hustle that leads you on a slippery slope.. If care is not taken, it sucks you in... and spits you out....

He's not asking your drivers to drop your cars na, any little thing you perceive as threat to your biz you no dey waste time before coming out guns blazing

sharpk007:
Hmmmmm hmmmmm, it is well ooo.

You are actually right, I did Ehailiing for two years plus, made some money but interms of career growth it was almost zero, I stopped last year February, learnt many skills ranging from Programming, to data analysis to Mechanic and now is not that I have arrived but I can see growth and even my health and body is growing well too... For two years plus that I did Ehailiing (mind U I fed well, Asin well well) my weight is always between 55-57 but after like 6 months that I left Ehailiing my weight is close to 70 now, I looked more fresher even though money no too dey.

NB: Driving is stressful in Lagos and as a Career you can't add Uber,Taxify driver as experience unless you wanna be a professional driver.

AngryIgboDon:
Please if you are a driver and reading... Listen to me...

Stop wasting your future and destiny driving as an ehailing driver. This was not God's design for your life. Go and learn a trade.

Mechanic
Fashion Designing
Building Construction
Plumbing
Electrician
Chef
PVC installation
Car pimping
Interior Decoration
Bakery

Lagos has over 25 million people and more are coming in daily. Only 20 contracts from these 25 million people is enough to change your life forever.

Become a pro in whatever you choose to do and then ask God for favour and grace. You will see how you will become a millionaire over night.

The above listed people in Lagos who are pro in what they do make far enough money than what ehailing drivers can make in 100 years.

You may think this is a tough call but remember that people like Gazzuzz and Radautoworks were once novices in the mechanic world. They may not even know how to loose a tyre many years back. Fastforward to years later... They are controlling millions.

Felicity take note. You were born a great man. Discover your destiny fast and leave this racket before you become wasted. Same applies to other great people with divine potentials here.

God bless you all.

My man has spoken. I am retiriing this year. I want to hang my boot this year. I have paid my dues and no going back on this decision.

donfortune48:
Your point is well noted.
But don't make it look like you're the only one with a valid point.
Try to always be flexible sir.

donfortune48:
You're the one that needs to calm down bro, cos you've actually driven this argument out of context.

No one ever said here that manual cars are better than AUTOs. Yet that's the only point you're trying to make.

people wey dey drive danfo no dey complain of stress, manual is not stressful if you know how to drive it.

Gogettaz:
You will still need the MIC, don't off it yet.
In context of you referring to life expectancy of stick drivers was not about health care system.
So don't shift the goal post.
It is no news that Nigeria healthcare system s**ks, so that one is out of the argument.
As for drivers being able to afford healthcare, it is a matter of someone letting people know that you can have a health insurance for as low as N1k per month.

donfortune48:
You can say AUTOs are better alternatives. But they never stopped building Manual cars.

There are later model of cars that are Manual.
Have you asked why?

chillex8:
Instead of you to admit you can't drive you are yapping about manual cars
Most long distance transporters, drive hundreds of km daily with manual transmission.
There's no special consideration for the type transmission you drive. You earn same fares.

It's even actually cheaper to operate a manual vehicle.

emmancecute:
Oga dru, I've always told you to stay away from this kind of discussion cos rumour has it that you can't drive so your judgement on this kind of matter will not count. I drive a stick shift and it is not as stressful as painted. pros are durability, cheaper maintenance, better fuel economy, cars are cheaper. cons: stress of changing gears in slow moving traffic. if you drive a modern manual car that's well maintained, your clutch and gear will be very soft hence less stress while changing gears. I just pity some drivers that can't think. you have 1m but because you want to drive a particular brand with automatic transmission, you'll go and enslave yourself and be doing hp or rental with your 1m when you can get a good car with manual transmission at that price and make money for yourself and become your own boss. I started this hustle with rentals and I first car was an 04 corolla. That car came from canada so had suspension issues. I later bought my own car which was a big daddy camry 04 little did I know that the car is notorious for shorting oil. I use I litre of oil to top up weekly, I later sold off after 9 months of usage. I bought 09 corolla for 2.1m but discovered it's a wrong tool of the hustle too cos its costlier to maintain than previous car and sold off before the AC wahala too starts. Truth be said! the 03-08 corolla is best for the hustle but it is unnecessarily too expensive and the fact that you can't have peace of mind with that especially in Lagos. it's also becoming expensive to maintain too due to costs of parts too I currently drive a brand that's not popular in Lagos, fits the hustle too, though manual but who cares!, cheaper parts, fuel economy is good, rugged, nice looking atleast to my eyes and fits the fare perfectly.

Gogettaz:
I beg your pardon sir, what is the life expectancy of most European drivers?

chillex8:
Take it easy.
Sheath your sword

donfortune48:
Even to drive Auto na Herculean task to you; talk more of a Manual car.

I feel your plight.

ksmart027:
people wey dey drive danfo no dey complain of stress, manual is not stressful if you know how to drive it.

Baba, no go think am ooh. Danfo drivers drive stick everyday, and you can imagine how stiff it is to operate. Have you seen them try to turn in a tight spot? Their steering can turn one to Arnold in a month....but, they're still fine
