Thanks I will consider your advice but like I said you will come to terms with reality.
I think you and this your guy " I own a cars". Need to face reality . At the end of day, if uber business decides to go left, I go just relax in Yankee and continue my hustle.. What about you, since you brought up the reality topic.

Yes this uber is not by force, then face other businesses aside uber and stop complaining about drivers. Startup a pure water company, or organize boi to dey help you sell galas for traffic .. Rather than ranting and looking for drivers to enslave.

Uber is not meant for rentals. Driver your own car yourself, Set destination and you are go to go. Must you get a driver to make money for you when u cant even afford paying drivers such amount weekly.

Don't be bias, I own a cars and have a driver also.. Both side should always ve their conditions and agree to understand themselves.

No need shying away from the truth, Uber is slavery. Danfo, keke Napep all make more than Uber.

In those western countries where you live, Uber had come under fire severally abs had had their license suspended like in London and Germany. So 'bro' quit denying the reality.

Drivers will cry less, car owners will car more... If driver can adept to this hardship then they will always find other ways to survive if uber park up....

The guy said it all. I ve campaigned about it when It rosy that drivers hardly ve a good savings...

Check out those driving for partners and now own their cars did not get money for their car thru the that only but got the fund else where to purchase their car.

Dru if ur driver makes 100k gross. Have you ask yourself about he saves at the end of that week?

Pays you 35k. Left 65k
Bought fuel 20k left with 45k ( that's if 2k make 10k consistently which is hardly possible)
Pays uber 25k left with 20k
Pays 10k for tolls, feed, car wash, weekly sub and many other expenses .. Left with 10k (and that if 10k can pay tolls, feeding and the rest)

Ur driver dru is suffering, but proverty won't let him accept it so far he gets something
At the end of the day, those that can make money will make money.. Smart drivers will make more from offline jobs. It all depends on how u wrk .... I have one driver the guy will never call me unless something is wrong with the car. He delivers on time .... So far none has complain to me that the business is tough for them.. Only complain I get is when the car was having issue.. So my brother think outside the box if you want to make money...

In my opinion what I think is gradually happening is that as more drivers keep joining the platform everyday so also are there more riders however uber/ taxify was not set up for driver rentals I think it is here in Nigeria we somehow found a way to make it happen and from weekly rental of 50k it has been coming down gradually now it is hovering between 25 and 30k some still higher and I wonder how those drivers are coping but what it is IMO that will happen is that driver rentals would eventually finish and you have everyone being a partner themselves because when owner wan chop and driver self still wan chop wet in go remain and they would be fuel, servicing and other miscellanous...make we dey observe dey go....
In other news am Patiently waiting for the mad Uber surge that will happen after Experience is over tomorrow morning.minimum of 2.0 things or even more..na to just wait make the surge catch fire before I go online even if na to do like 2 trips from TBS to Lekki or surulere back to back and Saturday morning don set....
My brother I don't know about your analysis .. But as more drivers are coming in ,more partners are exiting.. It is like a revolving door.. Even when uber was good driver still didn't want to pay. Your 25k weekly to 30k projection is for the birds. You must be obviously a driver.. Please look for something else to do.. Uber driving is not a must do or die affair o.. I have experience all types of drivers before.. Even if you give them the opportunity to enable them to get a car with your help.. They were still screw it up .. I use to pity them and I stop the poo asap.
At the end of the day. The smart ones will deliver and make money. While the rest will continue to make excuses. That is the difference between rich and poor..

What you said is mostly correct. At least am happy you acknowledged the fact that you ran at a loss initially and that things have change a quite lot in this Uber and taxify.. Abi Huber and taxifier... according to one driver!
I just want to make it very clear. I ran at a lost not because the business is not profitable.. But because of bad manager, drivers, greedy mechanic etc.

But the business don get K leg true true if u now have cars you give out at 30k.
Any business will get k-leg as long as you dont think outside the box. This is the big difference between rich dad and poor dad. People need to think outside the box. One of drivers does quite a few offline jobs. He has a good car and with good customer skills he is able to deliver.. As a matter of fact he even deliver a day earlier than the due date. Think outside the box and it will change your life. Again you are perfect example of a rich dad and poor dad.

Change a lot yes. But the same excuse that drivers were making when uber was uber ,when uber had top notch cars on the platform. Those excuses has not changed ,it still remained the same. So even if uber now becomes uber of the fresh beginning those excuses will still remain the same. No matter how good it is

Not by force bro. Just drive your car jeje . If uber decides to park up now a lot of you guys will be crying.. Bottom line is when uber was good, driver still complain about delivery money. They still came up with excuses not to deliver.. Most are lazy ..not by force to drive.. Most of you guys or drivers want to be boss over night without paying the cost to be a boss. Personally my drivers are delivering between 30 to 35k weekly..

Nothing like working smart bros. You either work to die or work the car to die. Either way, something dies eventually! My projection is in an ideal situation where the car owner and driver come to an understanding that a certain target is ideal for the healthiness of the car and the driver.

Can you swear to me that you have had one single driver that drove one of your cars till the money you invested on that particular car was recovered? You know we are talking millions here right? You do know that even if you buy a car of 1.6 million minimum and have a driver remitting 35 k weekly, that its going to take more than a year to recover money invested alone? We have not started talking profit oo. Can you swear that a single driver was remitting 35k weekly till at least 2 million was made? Can we know the driver?
I speak for me only.. Most of my landing cost no fit pass 1.4m as a matter of fact my highest landing cost is 1.4m. The rest of the cars are between 1.1m to 1.2m range.
To talk of profit now na long story.. I have change management now. Before changing management I was running at a loss.. Manager will come story today, story 2mirrow. It got to the point that manager was stealing from drivers and stealing from owner. So I was getting it from both end. At that time I was not making profit. But since it has changed hands now , things have improved a bit. That is why I scale down from almost ten cars to about six cars. Mostly all tokunbo cars.. If you can get good drivers, the business is profit.. Keep in mind again my landing cost is very low compare to others. And when the going was good with uber, drivers were still making excuses not to deliver.. The same issues we had at the very first beginning of uber ,is still the same issues now ..drivers want to make more than the owner.. Drivers jumping from one partner to another.. That is why a lot of them will never ,never, never ever will be able to afford their own cars.. This is not a curse, I can go on and on .but time no dey

To prospective drivers who are new in this business... Hear me out... Especially if you are driving for someone. I have driven for 2 people before. One ended well only that owner was bankrupt and sold off car. The other client refused to service the car and I simply went and parked car jejely. These are what I have learnt so far in this business!

*Mind What you sign up for before carrying a car. Many cars being given to drivers are dead cars waiting for mortuary. I kid you not.

*With the unbearable traffic jam in Lagos now and taxify slashing prices, the least you can do now is between 25-28k... With the grace of God oo. Because should LASTMA or Police catch you defaulting while hustling, your whole week money is gone! I kid you not.
Car owner does not send you!

*With many drivers now on both platforms, the future of Uber and taxify in Nigeria is almost good as dead. Many graduates are now drivers. Failed businessmen are also turning to Uber. Problematic business issues have also turned so many people into drivers. Yours sincerely fall into this category. What this implies is that supply somehow outweighs demands. So drivers, use your sense and mind what you sign up for!

*On no account should you carry out any repairs whatsoever be it 1,000 on the car. Inasmuch as you give owner between [b]28-30
k weekly and you are consistent. All repairs are to be carried out by car owner! But make sure you are consistent with the money you remit per week![/b] Because from there, your tool of hustle will be maintained.

*Remember that your daily target should be at least 15k! Anything less than this is deceivin yourself. Let me break it down for you. 5k to car owner, 5k for fuel, 3k to settle both Uber and taxify commissions and then 1k for you! You see how stupid this business is? Because whether you like it or not, you must settle Uber and taxify and you must buy up to 5k Fuel! Have you seen Lagos traffic of late? I see when some drivers make 13k daily and are happy. Hahahahahahaha... Folly at its peak! Are you aware that within that 13k is your 5k fuel for next day? 5k for car owner that day? And almost 2k for 15% commission Settlement for the platforms you are driving on? And you have to eat for the day and pay other bills? Do you still think its a profitable venture?

*From my experience driving for someone of late... I discovered after 3 weeks that am just driving and making money for the car owner with nothing for myself! Because the terms and conditions of this business have changed drastically! Had to drop car.. Still looking for a reasonable and sensible partner that understands a 50-50 situation for both driver and partner so that everybody is happy.

*Many car rentals give out malfunctioning cars or bad cars to prospective drivers. More often than not, the driver before you is a very bad one and has damaged the car almost. Before you pick up a new car being given to you by either a partner or a fleet, do your due diligence and inspect that car well! Make sure that everything is 98% in order. Demand that fuel be given to you. At least half tank. All these is to make sure that you start running! If they expect 100% from you, why can't the tool given to you be in a 100%?

*Do not be deceived of how drivers are making millions. Its all wash. No driver is making that currently. Maybe before... But now? Lies lies lies! This stuff is not a business venture. I see it as something you use and hold body and soul together till you regain your feet or something better comes your way...[/b]

I will be contributing more of my experiences as time goes on.
Some of your point is correct. Especially owners giving out dead cars. But rental between 28k to 25k is very wrong. I have five cars on uber . And delivery is between 30k to 35k. My brother uber is not by force.. You can find lots of factory jobs out there. Please don't come and give distorted views here. One of my pal still makes 100k weekly here. It boils down to how you work and how smart you work.. Again please knock it off with your distorted view of 25k to 28k .
