This is what I keep trying to tell people about these extended performance oils. Few questions.

1) Did you use an extended performance filter?
2) how many miles on your car?
3) did you used EXTENDED mileage or HIGH mileage because high mileage is simple for cars with high miles not for longer oil changes.

I spoke to the young man about it .. .. He didn't use extended performance oil filter ... (2). Any car that is over 75k miles is consider high miles. Most of the tokunbo cars that enter the Nigerian Market at least 75% high miles . (3).. The maintenence require light needs to be also look at too.. My 04 civic has the light on ,even after an oil change. It stays on all the time, even after a reset .. (4) .. Maybe some cars might be sensitive or some cars might not have that maintenence require sensor.. I only thought it was Hondas that feature. Never in my driving years have I had maintenance require pop up .. It could be some cars have that feature..

Nobody will deny that e hailing has created lots of job opportunity. Your point duely noted sir
But at the same time it does not give them the opportunity to enslave the masses .. The government should step in case of any abuse... but we are in a capitalist society, so we might have a gray area .. It is up to the government to determine what is consider cooperate abuse...

You have just said it all. People in USA complain about Uber alot, but majority of them didn't quit. That means people complainimg here and didn't quit are only humans. But that one no mean say if them if u no do Uber business again, food go disappear from ur table again.
Young man ,the point here is that uber or ehailing in general has created a lot of job opportunities.. If the government decides to ban ehailing, it will create a lot of unemployment.. You think it is easy out there now ..don't you see people hawking in the hot sun . What is the minimum wage now ? And how many companies can afford the minimum wage ? It is a jungle out here

Good day Fam,

I'm an average salary earner and I'll be buying my first car soon preferably Honda EOD 2005 Toks but I've got mixed feelings considering the wide complaints about the spec.

I've been dreaming of that car for long hence your advise is highly solicited on the pros and cons. I don't want a car that will drain me financially. Toyota corolla is another option but my budget can't exceed that.

What should i look out for?
Buy a civic.. Very strong and reliable car .. Very easy maintain and I have a tokunbo for 1.3m.. Civic has no leg pulling issue and very good on fuel

If you think drivers are not putting food on their table, goan ask why they usually send mail to drivers that stopped driving on Uber/Bolt for over a month to ask why they haven't been driving. Abi you think say na cos them care about the driverhuh

The epistle you wrote doesn't change the fact that both parties put food on each other's table. But if you think otherwise, no sh!t bro.
Unfortunately uber is the winner here. For the fact uber was the first to start e hailing, they have put more food on the table.. You have to understand that the technology they develop paved way for employment. It created something that will create more demand than supply.. People in the USA complain about uber alot, but how come the majority of them didn't quit? Uber has created convince, it has made it easier for people to move around.. Now in the USA and the world around people can't do without uber or the technology itself..
Uber Is like water .. You need it makes life easier , samething with water ,if you vex for water, you go still need am to eat ,drink, bath etc you can't do without it .. Just like you can't do without the technology of uber

Trust me more people will go hungry ,uber has created thousands of job. Uber will not lose anything, Lagos is not even their biggest market. Now the people on the fence does not speak any volume to the market ,uber could care less about the fence people, uber has more people on the road than on the fence ..those that are on the fence could not handle the competition or didn't know how to apply themselves.. Most Nigerians want an easy business to do. It takes patients and time to run a business.. That is the reason why those are on the fence are on the fence

Well you still do not get my point but it can be done in practical..
Stop driving and let's see whose table would lack food then.. grin
A lot of people are employed because of uber. Uber has nothing to lose in the Nigeria market. Lagos is not even the biggest market in Africa for uber. If uber packs up now, the unemployment rate will go up ... what set uber aparts from the rest is money ..uber has the money and the technology.. So if uber leaves and other ehailing apps comes in, they might not be efficient as uber .. It will be a free for all market and price might even go up

In a way the guy has a point. Uber/bolt is in business because they have drivers, and drivers are in business because they have riders. Take the drivers and the riders out these companies will cease to exist.
Let's talk reality.. In order for that to happen , it has to be a combine effort.. But in a situation that uber is putting food on people's table it will be hard to do .. Too many are gaining from uber than are not gaining.... If uber parks up now, now, now do you know how many will be unemployed? Because of the technology uber has created, we need uber more than they need us ... Lagos is not even their biggest African market.. And keep in mind uber is well know around the world.. Well know than any other app. Uber is brand, and because of that foreigners feel more comfortable with using uber

People do not understand that this is what it is all about.. Its called ride sharing and Nigerians turned it into a full time job and a do or die affair which is not our fault but the bad leadership we have always had.

Having a technical skill is actually underrated in this part of the world but look at the way things are with people that have an option GAZZUZZ for example just jumped on the fence and is sitting there comfortably because of his skill and sweet mouth which I envy sef (No offense sir) but you are probably the best example in this situation because most people here probably know you or have heard about you one way or the other..
Do you know why he can always stand his ground and tell you NO or YES at any point in time?
He has an optio(Not very common skill) you can go back to his reason why he stopped driving in the first place lol.
He sells cars and has money to import oils, coolants, and now he has started selling refrigerating gas..
This man here has common sense and is actually thinking outside the box instead of complaints he is using the supply and demand chain to his advantage which makes me understand that he has western exposure..
Same goes for Dru23 and every time they make a comment you can see confidence and sincerity in all they say but most people will see them as proud but its not that way my people..
You mentioned something about emotions and I just had to lol it cause there is no emotion in business..
If you want to survive in the commerce world you have to be able to stand your ground and that is what the drivers complaining cannot do which makes me see the complains as unreasonable..
Let me take you guys back to a memory lane just this last December felt like it shouldn't end do you know why?
Demand was high and supply was relatively low..
I am a very Lazy driver and I own my car and also have an option but if December can continue I will be driving on a reg cause there was a day I had 25k net I cannot remember how much fuel but I was ready to drive all week sef but my Lazy ass does not even like driving I just do it cause money is meant to be made..
All in all we can all be sincere with ourselves and let us face what this thread is all about..
Let's make positive moves
Don't try to force anything on anybody..
If Jesusson wants to show his earnings let him share..
If you don't want to share yours its not a crime..
Let's start by having self respect and respecting each other..
They say little drops of water makes a mighty ocean and maybe if we start having a bit of unity from the very few reading this thread then something positive might come up on the long run..

PS this is just an opinion of mine and I also respect everyones opinion and perspectives cause life is all about diversification..
I hope we all have a great week ahead
Regards

Good Job ..... People either realise or fail to realise that with uber ,it can open so many opportunities for offline job .. People also need to be positive in what they are doing.. With positive thinking, you attract positive energy... what you have done here is attracted positive energy.. So keep it up

Got a request on Awolowo rd called rider and rider said she was going to Adeniyi Jones Ikeja. On our way as i was still trying to navigate my way tru Awolowo heavy traffic and flood. I told rider that the traffic and flood was too much so am not sure I will embark on the trip. On our way back to her office she made me to understand tht two drivers before me cancelled on her because of traffic and flood. So eventually we agreed on 5k offline. After dropping rider at her destination got another request from airport hotel to Chevron drive. Got to pickup and after waiting for 15mins for the guy, finally he appeared with one heavily tatooed olosho. After exchanging pleasantries I just told them that the whole road is flooded and so much traffic. Las las we agreed on 6.5k. Got to destination na so olosho give me 7k!
Sometimes you just have to think outside the box ..you went about the whole thing as a business man. Just keep in mind in every chaos there is always an opportunity grin

Problem is now most riders are on taxify. Even the island that used to be uber's strong hold. I think they waited too long before bringing the fight to taxify. All the same, the 3% is a sweet sweet development grin
3% after 15 trips ...... At least it is something

.

I belong to one of this ehailing whatsapp group, they keep on spamming us with message to patronize one of the indigenous local ehailing companies, sadly they are all in for the money... Any driver foolish enough to believe that they really care about you is in for a long thing. They should go build their satellite, they should go build their phones, why not even build the cars or parts that is used on the platform. How can you be claiming indigenous when all the tools used is at least 99% foreign. Honestly i get tired of the phrase patronise us we are local we have your best interest.

Glad Uber has quietly shut them up with the 3% commission, if they are truly local and care about our interest let them indigenously hit us with a 1% commission rate, then we will know that they are really here for the drivers' interest.

They even can not see the handwriting on the wall, that it is in their own collective interest to all merge together and form one strong indigenous ehailing app company that can at least give Uber/Bolt a chase for their money. Greed and Pride will not let them tow this path, until it is too late.


Indigenous ehailing companies see easy money and they are all forming saviour of the Nigerian Apps drivers.

Indigenous ko, indigo ni!
Funny enough they might be worse than uber self ,you never know o
