1. Civic has a better fuel economy because it comes wit a displacement of 1.8 Litre (4 cylinders)
Accord comes 2.4 L (for d inline-4 models) or 3.0 L (for V6)

2. Civic is smaller and a bit more compact in space dan d Accord. U can as well compare Civic to a Corrolla, while Accord to a Camry with respect to dia sizes.

3. Both cars are durable but since dey are both Honda products, U got to be sensitive towards ur shaft and no too much rough usage.

4. 07 Civic and 04 Accord have a comparable Capital cost, but Operating cost is cheaper on d Civic.
Besides, a 2007 technology is more recent dan 2004.

My Verdict: Make ur decision based on ur personal requirements.

Choose Civic if U don't have a problem wit a smaller-sized sedan, a decent (140hp by performace, similar to Corrolla, 406 etc) and an economic vehicle (ave. 29mpg same wit Corrolla)

But if U need a better performance (about 160-240 horsepowers), a larger sized-sedan, but not comparably so economic(ave. 22-24mpg), den Accord is urs.

But I would personally choose Civic for me. For me ooo!! I don't know about U.

Still on my experiment.

I have been in Abuja attending a conference and my daily route is same and these are my observations.

Uber charges 1150 while Taxify charges 700
Uber receipt shows a flat rate here often, no breakdown's, so the Taxify goes home with about 600, the Uber goes home with about 890.

If the same system is operable in Lagos, I can say that Uber benefits the driver, while Taxify benefits the rider
From my experience, many say Taxify is more expensive but the reverse is the case.

Now we drivers claim Taxify is better in terms of payment. Is is really true?

You happen to be an uneducated little child, there's a difference between grammatical error and passing a wrong message, Dru23 always use own instead of owe
and spellings were correct but have two totally different meaning and I politely called his attention to it and he accepted. Now you spill rubbish like we on this thread are some local yellow cab drivers without other things.

There you go again talking out of your a$$. If you are not here trying to reinvent the wheel with your Assurance and synthetic oil,you're here embarrassing yourself all over the place. Do you seriously not have anything else to do with your life, is your life that empty that you spend all day and night on this thread? Person that pressed that your mumu button do you serious thing sha, and at some point you will really need to grow up. Dude I wish you well seeing as this is the last response you'll get from me. On a more positive note I wish all the drivers a SURGEFULL day.

Boss, why are you limiting the liabilities of the Guarantor to just 30k.

I think a Guarantor is a person who guarantee to pay for someone else’s debt if he/she should default on a pre-agreed obligation. A Guarantor also acts as a co-signer of sorts, in that they pledge their own assets or services if a situation arises in which the original debtor cannot perform their obligations.

A Guarantor is also known as a Surety.

So sir, don’t limit the liability of a Guarantor to a mere 30k.

Collect your Security Deposit or if possible do upfront rental payment but never limit the liability of a Guarantor.

That is not a good excuse for laziness. For all the things you preach on this thread about successful men such Bill Gates, Warren Buffett .....etc, you certainly don't live up to what you espouse. Sad! I hope that would be an unacceptable excuse[/b] when your son or daughter brings home a poor grade from school when you know they could have done better.

One experience every single person should try in a life time is become an Uber driver. It is a fantastic experience, full of ups and downs. But absolutely enjoyable.
I took the plunge in September 2016. Up till then, I had only heard good things about it. How much money you could make, how many places you got to visit and how many people you got to meet. I love to interact with intelligent people.
So i went in head first, and I have to say it has been a great experience.
I am someone you could call a semi-pro Uber driver, I guess.
Since September 2019, I have done a grand total of 900 trips, an average of about 10 trips every week. And in this time I have made a good deal of money, and met a handful of people. I have met a less than savoury customer once or twice, the majority of my riders are wonderful people.
I find that usually if I respect myself, people tend to do the same with themselves. And I am fine with that.
I make good money driving, indeed anybody can, combining hard and smart work. I have a plan and I stick to it, I know when and where to drive even if I don't drive that often.
And the conversations, oh the conversations I have had and the ones I have listened in on(unfortunately, I don't have a choice). All I can say is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
And I have been to a lot of nice places.
Because I am very service oriented and make sure to give every single rider a great experience, I now have friends all around the city. And for some inexplicable reason, I tend to have riders who are really cool.
Personally, I think every adventurous person should give driving on Uber a try. Because after all is said and done, what could beat having fun while you make money.

Referral are the best form of recruitment anywhere in the world. Even big conglomerate and multi-national companies prefer referral than direct recruitment. You can hardly go wrong with referral.

If my current partner, refer any other driver to me, believe me I will not collect Security Deposit from the new driver before giving key to a car. That’s how exceptional he his.

So except for referral from trusted and excellent driver who I have worked with, all procedures must be followed during fresh/direct recruitment of new drivers.

Enyinne:
Dru, its all about luck .i hv never done much in doing due diligence on my part ,i hv best drivers ,most always refer me to new drivers ,I own about 8cars now and yet i hv only visited 2 out of 8 drivers or visit their guarantor. I'm too blessed to fall a victim ,God got my back since 8months on the platform .

Well u dey lucky now , make I tap from your luck.. Abi u want keep am to yourself?

Business is business bro.. They should be protocols and structure in any business you do. That is my point bro, and never mix family, or friends with business the chances that it will end bad is pretty high.. Why would I give my car out to a driver without doing the basic, background check, guarantor, reference, address of driver etc.. My brother let us think ahead and not behind... this is the reason African business don't pass on from generation to generation... partners need to do their due diligence when looking for drivers.. That is my point, whether the driver swears he is the best driver, u still need to follow basic protocol before hiring him ..

No wahala bro, you know as a veteran in the business we just need to know we are learning correctly from you.

Not so sound like i know anything about English so i will rather ask you because i notice you prefer to use "owning" in all you post when you want to refer to a driver "owing" you. is this deliberate or there is something right about it i am yet to learn. Thank you

chillex8:
But, dru3 my fellow boss
You have been following protocols in recruiting
How come drivers still dump drop your car, and even owe you untop

Just like "the car" said, allow some form of flexibility.

No amount of protocols is ever too much. Remember you are dealing with humans, not robots.

Relax Bro. Because you are doing business in your own way doesn't mean others would... There are people that still have conscience... They would never default... I for one don't like issues with Police or having issues with people. So if he choose to do his things that way doesn't mean he is not serious in the business and should be praying for his down fall... You can still collect assurance and all papers and the driver would run away with your car and you would never see the guarantor... All this is based on conscience.
