People that are saying rubbish can keep saying it. As for me oh and as a full time driver that I am, if I see 180k job now, I will quit this rubbish Uber work now now now. That guy won’t appreciate what he has now until he looses it
The early you find that 180k to 1m job, the better for you my brother.. It is better you quit uber now and say no to uber / taxify slavery o. Just return that car to the owner .and aslo bank robbery is a lucrative job o my brother.. It comes with its own risk and reward.. Just make sure you put 70% of the operation money aside o .. Don't go and waste it on women that weren't there with you during the operation o.. We all have choices to make in life.. Choose wisely and good luck bro

Bros, I wonder where you get some of the facts you present on this thread atimes. It cud be misleading u know. For the fact tht ur driver hs bn remitting constantly for 4months doesnt mean he makes 400k net! Net is the earning after all deductions hv bn taken from gross earning. Invariably, u are saying tht monthly earning will be like 500-600k bringing it to 400k after statutory deductns hv bn made. This is laughable.

Hv u taken time to know hw mch car owners tht drive on uber/Taxify make as gross monthly. You dont stay in Nigeria I believe neither do you drive on uber here so where did you get ur fact from. Bros, u practically do not hv first hand information abt this business. Forget abt what some drivers come here to display to you. Drive to experience it.

Abnitio before the influx of so many drivers and cars including dead ones being churned out by greedy partners as a result of misleading facts like this i cud say its possible. Someone reading this thread for the first time with this fact you jst gave will think Uber business is heaven on earth and thts why some people after reading this will start thinking of resigning their paying jobs for uber jst because of all this misleading and unverified facts. Well, am nt disputing the fact tht there is money in ehailing biz.
We can agree that this uber business is mainly a young mans playing field abi ? Ok ,my point is that if an old man is out there delivering is rental constantly, regardless if uber is slow or not ,regardless if he is getting offline job... whatever offline job he is getting is either through uber or taxify.. So basically does offline jobs he got he was able to make the best out if.. And the reason why he was able to get good offline job is due to his gud customers skills.. Am sure he found a way to humble himself and attract the positive energy towards the riders he picks up and inreturn it became a frequent offline job for him.. And also he keeps the car clean ..
At the end of the day , if an old man can humble himself and get the job, what does it say about you younger guys? And aslo if the old man was able to get a car of his own ,than we can likely say that he has the potential to make 400k for himself a month due to his work ethic ..
The old man is longest driver I have so far ..longest driver on my fleet ..funny enough the driver that reccomended him to my manager no longer works for us anymore. Can you imagine that irony ...

If that's what you read, bye. Gat no time for your back and forth argument. Push to any angle you want. Thanks
At the end of day my brother ..if the job is hard and there is no future in it .. People should just quit uber business all together. They should return the cars to their respectful owners.. And look for a factory job to do ..there is a lot of factory job that pays at least 50k to 100k a month .. Hotel jobs pay good money too like housekeeping, bellman, front desk agent etc ..by the time you have to get up at 5am to catch bus either local or staff bus ,spend half of your salary on transportation. And than the fact is by the time it takes you 3hrs to get home from work, u go know say he no easy anywhere at all .. Most of you that are uber drivers, don't realize that having a car alone is a privilege, you are not paying for transport to and fro from wrk .. Some of u sit inside A/C and meanwhile you sitting down in traffic chilling watching others chase bus up and down inside traffic... I expect a lot of you to come for my head ..so when are ready to come for my head, come meet me for my house in ikeja..

Boss u sef talk am ,lets dem forget about e hailing then.. since almost everyone is complaining ..
Yes now abi ... funny thing is even when business was sweet drivers still complain, driver still didn't want to deliver their rental, so which way forward my people ...and honestly am starting to belief Buhari when he said the youth are lazy it's either the youth are lazy or greedy it has to be one ... and also if you people can recall during Ogunvic41 time.. Drivers still complain, moan and bi*ch .. After showing them how to make money, so no matter what you can't make this drivers happy ..unless you dash them the car.. Even if you dash them self. Most will still complain that it is not corolla.. So which way forward my people...

Some drivers have many offline clients and such ones have an edge over other drivers. So you don't know how he work. Again that he delivers doesn't necessarily mean he earn 400k every month. This business is no longer as it used to be, everybody here can testify to that. Many old-time drivers are struggling to meet up with their weekly target and you are assuring a newbie that want to resign his well paid Job that he's going to earn that much. Well like I said someone suggested that he try it for two weeks then make his decision.
This is part that luck comes in ..if a driver is smart and keeps the car clean and he has excellent customer skills, he will surely get offline trips ..but you have to work smart to do it ..very unfortunately most uber drivers don't think like.. U can't always blame the climate of the business all the time ..I have a driver now that still owe me over 70k..he damage my car and ran off.. His guarantor is also docking our calls ... but not to worry myself, he will soon get what they call a rude awaken this week.. And also this is why must banks don't lend money to small businesses in Nigeria, I dont blame them at all .. It is part of our people's work ethic ...so my brother my sincere conclusion is that people are still making money or making 400k a month as along as they vehicle belongs them ..
Again we can agree to disagree ...

Ok in that case people should quit driving... it is not worth it anymore ..and the best thing is for people to return the cars back to the owners. ..there is no point doing uber / taxify or any ehailing business if it is not profitable

400? Every month? They will be requesting themselves every hour of the day? Una go dey una house dey talk wetin una no know. Well, like someone suggested he can try it for two weeks first.
Like I said we can agree to disagree... if a 50 something year old can constantly deliver is rental for 4months now, and he has not cost me any major repair work .. I don't know what else to say o and the old man does does not have two heads ,the last time I check o .. And am sorry to say I don't think the man university graduate o ..so imagine if the man is the sole owner of the car ..

Uber this, Taxify that and here we are still stressing ourselves driving. I keep asking myself why some factory workers still stick with that job. Not that they & we love the job.

'Money must come in' and the only way to do that is to keep working hard/soft.

Its your choice to leave your 181k job to do a full day driving job.

To have enough time for yourself, you will equally forfeit earnings when not driving. Therefore the more time you create for yourself the lesser the inflow from ehailing.

You can chose to keep your job and join as a fleet partner..

Do your calculations right (best you can get is 300k net a month without fixing your car if God help)
Also, you can be in debt if you buy the wrong car for the business.

Earnings on uber√taxify is like forex trading. Some stakers gain while some loss and some lose all their investment. ( leaving only the successful ones to keep encouraging even when they know the risk involve)
We can agree to disagree .. I knw a few partners that drive their own car ..and I can honestly say they make 400k net a month.. If you drive ur own car. Use the proper oil and maintain the car ,you should be good to go .. I said early that one of my driver old man always delivers is rental on time ..he has to be in his 50's and he delivers on time... there was a time that the car was at the shop, the baba was calling and asking when the is.going to be ready ...so please let us be honest with ourselves.. If you own the car ,u will make money and at your own pace..

Mr .chilex is rite ..there is going to be a lot of dead cars this season.. This is the mechanic season o, engine parts seller season, tire seller season, some uber partners will cry this raining period o.. I wish you all the best as the rain continues fall o ..some drivers will not care and just see swimming pool of water and enter inside it like as if the car is a natural swimmer... and some will say it's only part of lagos that his raining, well wish you all the best.. Myself at I dey wish my self the best too

Lol, response appreciated.
Think about this bro ... people that are advising not to quit your job ..most are doing uber, how come they don't quit uber now ..uber is very profitable if you own ur car .. I knw a guy that drives his own on uber and makes 100k a week.. So those he now have two heads? And think about it that 180k u make a month, is their any chance that you can get an increase? No matter how hard ehailing is or competitive, you will make money .the only thing is you might have to wrk long hours... trying doing to part time and go from there.. To give you an example I have an old man that drives for me ,the man should be about 50years old ... this man always delivers his rental before time ,at least two days before bos due time.. Now imagine if this old man owns his car ,and calculate how much he will be making monthly.. Now does he have two heads?
Give a shot my guy ..most of these people that are saying don't try, tell them to stop driving.. There is money in it ,you just have to strategize .

I so happen to value the opinions of gazzuzz and many other sensible and objective contributors on this forum that I wonder why the sudden adoption of the term "assurance" because it was suggested by a notorious contributor who shall remain unnamed here. I am writing about this because I noticed the "very credible gazzuzz" referencing the word "assurance" in his advertisement for a driver. Just to be clear assurance by common dictionary definition would mean a pledge, guarantee ...etc not necessarily in monetary terms. The term most appropriate is really not assurance but a "deposit" which by definition often relates to putting money down in lieu of something. In court the assurance term in your "terms and conditions" might betray you rather than safeguard you. Please take note.

If you know your car is bad, please fix it before giving it out. How can we move forward when we keep trying to sell a lemon to someone.
If your alternator is bad, get a new one
If your compressor is bad, get a new one
If there is a leakage in your exhaust, get a new one
If there is a hard start, get a new one
If your shocks are bad, get a new one.


This happened to a friend of mine and it's quite sad to know that people can't uphold honesty, and sincerity when doing business.
If you are the partner, please kindly do the needful by giving him his balance, be civil and let's not create an issue out of it
I understand and feel for your friend ..if your friend needs a car contact me.. I have a tokunbo elantra sitting down.. Hit me up and let us talk ..
And to all uber partners out there, it is only fair that you keep your car in shape before giving it out.. As much as we hold drivers accountable ,we need to hold partners accountable too.. People that know me ,knw that am a fair person.. Let us wrk together as a team ..

TheCar, dru23, gazuzz and other experience guys pls i need your inputs on the above..Thanks
I have at least 3 elantras on my fleet on uber specifically .. The car is good and didn't have major issues at all.. The transmission issue they are talking about I don't know o ..the only transmission issue was due to the drivers fault.. Parts can be expensive and I had to change alternator in the car ..I think most cars start having alternator issue at about 150k miles or so ..I can't really think of any other issue for ..the people that complain about parts issues are mostly likely buying warn out parts.. Very hard to get good parts in ladipo ..and also I make sure they keep good maintenance culture on the car ...my cars are all tokunbo ,bought by me in the USA ..the engine cost for a USA spec elantra should not be more than 200k ..

Bottom line I will continue buying the car ..it is expensive now to buy ..the price range can be from 1.6 to 2m 2007 to 2009. And also please use good engine oil Mobil USA spec 5w20 or 5w30.. Use coolant for the car ..take care of the car to avoid been at the mercy of any mechanic either on nairaland or outside nairaland.. You don't want to be coming on nairaland to start seeking advice for car repair from anybody.. Better make you respect yourself on that order.. Even if you need help fixing your car ,it shouldn't break the bank if you have done your own part taking care of the car.. Bottom line use good engine oil and coolant to reduce been at the mercy of anybody o .
And also if the car needs repairs take it to a mechanic that knows about elantra or kia cars , there is a specialist on nairaland called the people's chump, sorry meant to say the people's mechanic.. Have not used him before, but he has a strong loyal follower on the thread, cult like follower that can swear by his good work ethic.. Some of them no dey see road at times.. But according to them he is good, he seems good but me personally I have never used him ... bottom line take care of the car use good oil USA spec Mobil 1 , the people's mechanic sells them and I sell them too . Mines goes for 15500k per 5quarts ,cheapest price on the market.. Hope have been of help any information u need . Contact me at dru23@ hotmail.com

Honestly, he is a mechanic and he is a good mechanic that is for sure ...a mechanic will always be a mechanic, wheather good or bad.. And for that I will not get into pig barn fight with a mechanic, I won't do it in Yankee and I won't do it in naija.. Either way I go stay in my Lane... for that matter we are of diffrent profession, you people on nairaland need him , I don't need for anything bro ...
