He came here and offered his services at no detriment to you and you felt compelled to put him down, whilst you were both putting him down people have shown interest in his abilities. I'm struggling to understand why you would do that, it doesn't matter whether he has been doing it for a day or 10 years he didn't need to be put down. Na wa for Una.

70hrs online to hits 120k is possible with some luck. I did above that last weeks just with Taxify only yet its better than giving uber over 30k when Taxify took only 16k+ from it. Guy no sweat. To make more, you stick to Taxify. Most driver showing off their earnings don't even make as much as I do.

I don't need to intimidate anyone and encourage anyone by screenshoting my last week earning. I just did for clarity based on the argument on ground of which I work 14hr on average weekday and 8hrs weekends ( I own my Car)

Anyone can chose to be a slave or better still be a master. The choose is theirs not mine
You can't walk before you crawl now.. U have to be a slave first ,before u can be a master

Possible, my point. Uber takes off 30k from the 120k left with 90k... Its very sure u will use up 30k-35k fuel. Let's pick 30k fuel.

U are left with 60k... Then u deliver 40k to dru and u will be left with 20k.

Now let's said u fast for 7days a week and wash your car all by yourself. Call card and internet nko.

I ve nothing again uber. I m just sharing exactly how it is for drivers and not the paper work we put down


As for the challenge... I swear I go chop your money. 70hrs 120k. Trust me u will spend more hrs to hit that... I not a jjc
Let the game begin. In terms of fuel that u said he will pay 30k. It depends on the car he drives. And also my elantra will not chop fuel for that amount of hours..

how does 25k translate to 150k monthly?
I think what he means is that a lazy uber driver, can work and make 25k easily, while a company driver does not make that amount in a week.. I could be wrong, but most company driver don't make up to 60k a month... I could be wrong o

Drop that car ASAP.
I use it as personal drive and I know how it feels.
They need to make comprehensive scan and be sure the oxygen sensors are working correctly,not just the catalyst(which by the way DOES not impact fuel consumption)
Next they should check the brain box to see that the coding us still sending correct info to the system. If all these are working well with no evap reading from the scan, then you can have a minimal improvement.
personally, I have decided to stop using mine,as I manage to earn double for every 1k of fuel (without boosts anyway)
Again explain to the owner and drop it asap.

A lot of people are reading this page and some have heard old tales how uber is so "lucrative" and they all want to invest and they usually make their calculations with all optimism. I picked a rider yesterday, a banker who probably borrowed some funds to buy corrola 2.1m and big daddy 1.75m. You can imagine how he'll be calculating his gains plus bank interest.
The truth is that Uber is very dull these days (too many drivers)except for long trips and I've discovered that those that live in far places like ikorodu, egbeda, abule egbaa axis always get better fares than those short trips from lekki to VI.
I once met a driver that took a rider from ikorodu to falomo and collected cool 5400 in one trip under 2hrs in the morning, someone else will do 4 trips from lekki to vi,sometimes running empty back to lekki and will manage to make that amount.
So guy, drop that car now for your sanity

I tot I was the only one that ever noticed these. I'm a driver and partner. And this the major reason I chose to driver my car myself and do Taxify on to get 50% taken for my labour. After 15% off to Taxify
35% off to delivery
And note I eat n maintain my car from the my 50%

I really pity drivers that do uber only. There story sure die

Let's be plain here. I don't do uber just Taxify. 25% commission on gross earns is too much... Lobatan

I speak for myself. Do as u wish and stop deceiving in the name of encouraging drivers. OYO

....dru23,God bless u....."they have created jobs for a lot of people"...meaning dey HV rescued lots of Nigerians (not only lagosians and Abuja) from the labour market...yet some ppl still complain...d least a hardworking driver can make in a week is 25k(lowest) dats is more or less u are earning like 150k in an organisation with official car.
Abi o ... to me the bottom line , is that your goal has a uber driver is to work hard ,hustle and than buy your own. Once u can have your own car , no need to kill yourself anymore. You can work three times a week and make 40k ... relax and chill small ..but u just have to put in the time.. And if u are lucky enough u might get a gud partner that can even sell off the car to you... like me for example if a driver does well and maintains the car. And he is able to save money, if he comes to me and say oga I have small money can you please help me buy a car.. Of course I will look for a car for him in Yankee without charging a arm and a leg. I will be more than happy to help.. Do u know that luck can pass by and I can get him a tokunbo car for 1m..
In business you need to build relationship, u scratch my back , I scratch yours... unfortunately most drivers don't see it that way , they see like they are doing you a favor ... drivers be gud to your partner especially if he is gud to you.. U never know how he might help you down the line. And I belife that most partners don't expect their driver to drive for them forever... this is my two cent on the matter... it is not easy for drivers ,but at the same time it is not easy for partners to come with money to buy a car ...let me even go back , my 04 civic the driver was saying 40k a week , was too much for like two months... when we did our inspection, my partner was so impressed with how the driver kept the car neat.. The driver was well dressed and cool headed and report got to me that sometimes the driver will use his own money to fix certain things in the car.. I was shocked and I asked the driver is 35k rental ok for you.. The guy said yes and he was happy.. Now if he comes to with 1m and says oga dru can you buy me a tokunbo car from Yankee.. I will gladly do it without charging him a penny...so people work together as a team , it is not easy for everybody and build a relationship with ur drivers and owners... rich people build relationships to open more doors for themselves o.. Poor people what are you going to do , be greedy and coz chaous ... a word is enough for the wise. Those that will hear will hear o, does that don't will continue to suffer unnecessary suffer ...

That's not the argument.

Taxify offers 15% commission and it's same service they render.
I have my own car
I have rode on the two platforms and realized uber is greedy. Cos u end up going home with empty pocket as a result of 25%
It's abuse of labour.
There are uber in other countries
It's not like in Nigeria.
We are not animals
Welfare of drivers should also be considered.
Am going to bring this topic to an end.. Uber Nigeria is the same or similar in the states. Uber charges 25percent comission and their competitors Lyfy charges 15percent.. People too complain in the states that uber is a waste of time.. But people still do it and make money.. So at the end of the day, u have an option to quit .. Unfortunately we leave in a capitalism society.. The issue in Nigeria is that we don't stick together, if we did maybe uber wil able to bring their commission down.. Until than its every man for himself...

We have some people out there that were drivers and now they are partners .. Nothing is easy in life my brother. Nobody is going to give you sh*t .. U have to hustle hard bro .. Uber is doing what the government should be doing.. They have created jobs for a lot of people

There are emerging new markets in this business,

there are drivers I know that do ONLY uber and still meet up their weekly targets.

All penned are dodgy, how do YOU inspect your car's every 2weeks after the manager has done his/her part like you said? Haba!!!
Once the driver comes for inspection, my other partner does a walk through of the car.. The milage is written down, tires are check, basically they physical aspect of the car is checked... and the picture of the car is send to via whatapps...
Now you might to ask how the mechanical aspect of the car is check.. My manager and drivers are very good in reporting mechanical issues, we had to change starter and alternator few weeks ago, change spark plugs etc. Once the car is having issues the driver will report it right away, for example now my manager reported the car is making some weird noise.. It could be the hub , I don't know for sure.. And also during the physical inspection done by my partner ,it gives the driver chance to make a complain if there is any at all.. The thing is you have to be consistent with the inspection.. We do inspection religiously ,hope this clear things up and am if help . These are some of my cars now ..the cars are about 10months on the platform.. The blue car is 11months on uber now.. The car rangers between 10 months to three months on the platform.. The civic that I have is the youngest on platform three months.. Every other car is at least 9months . All in good shape both physical and mechanical

Don't let your head break off the neck though. Just wanted to know how you do the inspection bi-weekly. Shikena...apart from the one your manager (who is on ground) does.
Now that is better way to ask me .. I thought you were been a smart ass from your first post. .... Of coz I can't come down every two weeks.. If you go back few months ago, when I stated that if you want to succeed in this uber business.. You need a good team around, that is if you plan on having fleets of cars on the platform... so my manager will be hopefully working soley for me before the year runs out...
Now back to the matter like biggie said in one of his songs.. " I got accountants watching my accountants so I don't go broke" I hope you get my point...

It depends on the source. On my whatapps forum, someone has volunteered to sell at N25k for the Castrol edge 5w30 and 5w20 extended performance and many have shown interest and we are all buying 4 gallons each to last a year. But a source in Lekki sells for 30-35k because, according to him, the duty for the oil is very high when containerised. Using extended performance will protect the engine not to the 15k miles range but at least the 6000 miles will be in order.
I will give you a call we can talk better

Thanks for the offer but please make it the extended performance of Castrol like I told you in another thread. The engine is too expensive to be toyed with low quality oils. The extended performance will do good. There are many owners of BMW and VW and AUDI that will gladly buy from you. Even the new breed Toyotas will also gladly buy from you.
So how much does the castrol extended castrol 5quarts go for

What is your take? For 5w30 engine oil, am thinking focusing on castrol full synethic USA spec.. Have read the reviews so many times .. I think it is as good as mobil 1 and you get more money for the castrol... and 0w 20 and the rest will be mobil 1. Castrol full synethic USA just sounds to good to be true, it got excellent review.. Instead people buying mobil 1 for 16k more , it will make better sense to stick with castrol...

The truth is no one knows which turn this business might take in 5yrs time. There is no statistics or data to make a forecast with. We are all at the mercy of the e-hailing coys. They don't release any sort of data to guide partners.

I have been asking myself this same question, and tbh it's not been an easy question to answer. This work is so lucrative if you own your car. I can be totally lazy and still make 200k/month. The only down side is the uncertainty. No one can really predict what this job/business is going to look like in 4-5yrs, we are all only being optimistic.
