From been Uber agent, to illegitimate earnings.

Don't allow frustration to affect your beliefs.

Some drivers here are completely frustrated, they feel they should be somewhere better, yet they are still with Uber.

Meanwhile fresh week challenge just kick started.

Let's make it happen.

Epphy:
Please explain the #1,800+ promo. How does it work?

GAZZUZZ:
abi if there is will you tell us?

GAZZUZZ:
hahahaha he now drives for you? He has driven for almost every vehicle owner of this thread

Stealth100:
Bro I don't know what your long term plan is with this ehailing but like you said you've lost millions already(like most patners). Does it not make more sense and less stressful to just sell off those cars for a profit once they land. Considering how much you buy them.

Stealth100:
If someone like gazzuzz, who is a mechanic and only spend half of what most of us spend on car maintenance, could join the fence then people need to tell themselves some hard truth.

pope191:
Best of all boss... My point have always been, things cant b rosy always, they will always be high & low period. But some one coming to paint a straight 5 months without a day break, is a no no for me

knowyeknot:
Bro, you still quite young that’s why you feel you have something big on your hands, have you thought about if you have a family the 20k you make can it sought out all bills and if does , the energy you put in to make so much is it worth it, cos I see say Dru don dey toast you, no insults intended cos I respect dru but brother look at how much you make and the stress, time and energy you put in and tell me if it’s worth it, cos body go tell you, las las everybody go dey alright, if you no understand try reach out to nitigriti make him word you small

eherbal:
busted

jesusson2020:
My target is to buy a tokunbo car within 1 year 6 months. With my current saving plan, I will achieve it.

Dey there dey do you be papa.

My new week just got started.

Rollitout:
Your engine go soon knock with this kind of money you make on Sunday

pope191:
Boss I expected more from you than using Nipsey as a yardstick... Regina must be a very hard working girl, but let me put that aside. If I can remember, there was no time your drivers are not doing good, until the day you complained of bad management, maybe you never get to see that coming.

jesusson2020:
Thank you sir, how do I contact you?

mrsage:
Bros, you are still new in the game. With time you will understand the big picture.

Wish you luck

eherbal:
jesusson2020 and dru23 are the same person. argue with your keyboards.

jesusson2020:
I dont know where I will be in 5years. I am taking it one step at a time, I didn't expect myself to be earning minimum of 20k weekly, and here I am, in 5years, I might be lucky to find something much better or still be with Uber as a fleet owner.

In life you never can tell, just keep working hard and plan, God on your side, the sky will be your limit.

Epphy:
You quoted the WRONG person (he definitely knows more than you do about the business) with the WRONG answer YES. You can't compare what the earning was when Uber started and what it is now. If you were doing Uber then with your positive attitude, you would own at least 2 cars by now.
When people share experience here it can at times come across as negative but it is for everyone to learn.
Lastly, no one is saying you shouldn't work but don't overwork yourself...Fatigue is a crazy karma.
I wish you the best in the ehailing world!

Megadrop:
I think from your submission it clearly shows that you are a staff of Uber or an aggrieved car owner on this thread seeking to prove to drivers that huge earnings and 35k weekly remmitance is still possible in this time despite drop in earnings . Same week you started ehailing was the same week you netted 100k! How come you are still on 35k up till now if truly you are a driver. Can we pls see weekly earning from when you started till now. Just be informed that display of dashboard will not change the perception of drivers about Uber being slavery.

jesusson2020:
Nigeria have not done anything to me, I'm just 22 and I believe I need to work to be useful to myself.

Since January, I have been earning minimum of 20k weekly (net) after paying my 35k rent. why will I be complaining. I just need to be grateful to my God.

I have been working with construction company doing roads in Lagos, as a labourer earning 2500 a day gross.

and here I have a car with ac to drive and go home with such an amount. I'm happy for myself.

jesusson2020:
Yes.

Since I join Uber January 2019, I have been doing well and earning well.

I have been paying my 35k rent, with no story. Been with the same car for almost 5 months.

I think Uber has given me a great opportunity.

I have stop listening to negative comments about slavery this, slavery that.

HeavenlyBang:
Oga, keep shut.

As much as I don't want to doubt ur story.
It's a fact that if u change from mineral to synthetic oil the chances of having oil leaks is very high. 2 out of 5 cars will have a smoking engine after the switch... this is because most synthetic oils contains detergents that will wash off deposits that had been acting as sealant in the the engine. Xw30 grade synthetic oils is a bad choice for our climate. The oil will thin out at high temperatures, our concern here should be on the behaviour of the oils at high temperatures and not freezing temperature.
The higher the number the better.
Also bear in mind that some engines are designed to burn oil(yes u heard right)...when u use oils that thins out at high temperatures the engine will burn off most of the oil before ur service due date and you will have oil shortages which will eventually result to a knock. This is one of the reasons why most people engine will knock.
They will pour in synthetic oils and believe that it will serve their engines for 6,8,or 12 months not knowing that the engines burns the oil gradually till it will get to dangerous low levels where the engine will eventually knock.

I tot u will even say u will start buying new cars, tokunbo cars are second hand vehicles.
You don't know what the cars have been through forget that Vin report u believe so much in. Most of the reports are not comprehensive enough or doctored to place more value on the second vehicles.
If you don't know most people in Europe and America where you get ur tokunbo cars from don't know much about vehicles, maintenance or how it works.
Go to YouTube, you will see videos of white people trying to pour in diesel in a petrol car, or petrol in a diesel.
I saw one where a white lady took her electric car to refuel in a gas station.

The truth most people won't tell you is that in grading engine oils winter climates are considered first before tropical regions.
Let me also let u know that the bigger challenge we have here is bad fuel....there is no where in Nigeria that you can get 100% unadulterated petrol. Maybe u will also import ur petrol.
Bad fuel is a vehicles no 1 enemy, its worse than bad oil.
Whatever you think you are doing right you will eventually need another car tomorrow. So why spend a fortune on a vehicle that u will eventually replace?

nakoks:
Comprehension is key dru.I said "i have used" in the past.All these your "people like you", the Honda in question i didnt state the year,i mentioned seven years you assumed (Honda Accord 1996 recommends 5w30).I have been importing synthetic oils long before you learnt how to drive.Guy slow down i dont like throwing shades but some of us have tayed in this game.No let internet deceive you.We were in the biz before cybercafe got to this country.

Tyche:
Abeg send our regards to Dru23 when next you visit joor

OK, I like it that u want us to discuss like humans.
The primary purpose of oil is to lubricate moving parts in an engine. All over the world, the advantage(s) of synthetic oil over mineral oil is a subject of debate.
1) sludge: Sludge is not entirely a bad thing.
Sludge will hold a weak seal together for the life span of ur engine. synthetic oils will clean out the deposits that may be holding a weak seal together. This will lead to an engine oil leak that will cause myriad of problems and cost you a lot of money to fix as well.

2.Economy: It is not proven that synthetic oil will give u a better millage than mineral oil, even if this is true the amount u spend on synthetic will cancel whatever gain u make on gas millage.

3. Wear: both mineral and synthetic oils have been proven to decrease wear. Though from test results carried out by some oil companies it was proven that both mineral oil and synthetic oil will decrease wear.
Wear will eventually come cos nothing lasts forever.

Let me stop here for now.

codemaster2much:
Where can I get this

SaniSANOH:
Would you advice me to go for used Mercedes-Benz C300 09 or Tokumbo C240? What are the the common issues associated with C300 and 240 respectively?
