I know a single man who own 18cars.. All corolla (2008-2012).

He is not even this thread

medd422:
And stop talking about Ogunvic41. He didn’t manage any car for u and he didn’t owe u 1kobo. He stood up for something, something that put food on some people’s plate. A sensible person knows Ogunvic is not a fraudulent person, he only made mistakes and d downfall of a man is not the end of his life. You, What have u done apart from bringing in flood cars and taking advantage of driver”s desperation by collecting 40k weekly when d car still belongs to u and u think u are doing business. Second driver has dropped your car ,with what I saw in Taxify office and inspection center on Friday, many are still coming to drop too, maybe you will consider bringing people from your village too.

Sorry for bringing in religion into this. It is written in the Bible ; be deligent in your service and everything your hand find to do, do it well.
You know they are so many Uber drivers, some a doing well and bringing in alot of profits why others are not. But guess who those low profits maker blame? They blame their people for village. The truth be told, the reason why most don't do well and miss an opportunity of retaining costumers, is their attitude.
People ride uber because of the services they are known for and as such, every driver should take pride when delivering these services.
Uber is a professional job for serious minded folks and has helped alot of people rise above poverty. If a lazy useless idiot want to spoil this profession for the serious minded folks (serious folks with families to take of and also those hoping to become the dangotes of tomorrow), please do everything within your power to remove them from uber or any other platform. If giving them zero stars will do the trick please do it.
We need to remove all the bad heads from every sector in Nigeria, that way serious minded people can strive.

Thanks

You need to relax.
His perspective is as a car owner who has driven his own Car, and still drives his Car, AND, as a rider, who has been in other uber cars and seen that
1. Uber drivers need advise sometimes. You don't bottle up emotions and then wait so that you can rate 1 star. That's not maturity.

2. Rating system is wrong. Even with a nice personality, clean car and everything, a rider will rate you 1 star, simply because they do not like the car you are driving, and then uber will deactivate you because you received low ratings on a car that they accepted on their platform without inspecting. Does that sound right or fair? Uber has a stupid rating system. Taxify is better organized in that aspect. Atleast, they carry out physical inspection and reject some cars some times, therefore, if you are banned from taxify everyone blames you. but uber?

3. Drivers have families. Yes. Anything wrong about That? I met a driver today with qualifications people dream of. He drives uber because he was laid off and has to find another way to provide for his family. Did he break the law?

4. Car might be bad or are all cars on uber excellent? Do you, or do you not know that sometimes, partners ask drivers to manage a car till next week before fixing and they have to manage it because they have a family to provide for?

5. If you are in a bad car + The driver has a bad attitude, by all means, rate him low. If car is bad and he is nice, show concern, be human and ask what happened, and advise. ask questions and don't jump to conclusions.

If anyone needs to be banned, it has to be you. Stop looking down on people. One bad person doesn't mean 100dreds are bad. Your opinion is flawed too. but you don't see anyone quoting you 10 times to talk on one quote. We learn everyday.

relax and learn

With the way to type, one would think you have put measures in place to weed out bad drivers.... but a driver returned your "perfect car".

have you learnt or you are just interested in being "king of memes"?

ridwanadedapo:
Quoting you doesn’t mean am against you fam! I just continue where u dropped it.

debeo:
Some drivers are devil, black ones!

And am not exaggerating.

I am really angry!

Earlier when I see people like dru23 saying things about drivers, I felt he was too harsh, had I known

I added a Toyota Corolla, I was unlucky, engine knocked before it even made one naira. Changed engine, changed evaporator, condenser and a host of other things.

Changed almost everything on the legs from shocks, brake to tires. Spent over 300k for these.

Where possible, I use oem or new parts, I buy them myself or order online.

That's not the story, this is the story

I gave this cha cha Corolla to an experienced driver referred by someone I happen to know. I checked his profile he had 4.6 as his ratings I was cool but there was one problem, he had no phone.

said he had some challenges, he had to sell his phone.

Because of the person that referred him, I asked him which phone and how much, he mentioned one infinix with 2g ram, the price was 38k, I transferred 40k to him.

Filled the car to half tank and handed over to him on a Wednesday.

Come Friday, he wasn't still paired with me on Uber, called him, he gave some cock and bull story of how he needs to go Uber office and do it, well for other cars it only took minutes, so I gave him 24hours to that. He did it in 18.

Come Tuesday, Uber didn't pay me, I've forgotten about him to be honest, since I used a different Uber profile/email address for him, I checked his profile, he was in debit of about 10k, he was owing Uber, I called him, he gave some stories, pleaded I give him till Thursday, let him pay one full week.

I agreed

Had I known

Thursday, called severally before I reached him, another story, his ac was bad he hasn't been working I was furious, did you call me?

Asked him to go meet my ac guy to fix it. I like doing ALL my repairs, for fear of substandard parts.

immediately, I logged on my GPS tracker, this guy was a bloody liar, he's been all over Lagos especially at night.

Gave a benefit of doubt even though my tracker says otherwise. Asked him for my money he said next Tuesday, I chilled, this point I was boiling but I needed to chillax, thanks to Heineken.

Tuesday, oga didn't pay, he didn't call, I didn't call

Wednesday same thing

Checked GPS he's been all over Lagos

Thursday morning by 10am, I stopped the car.

Went to the location, collected my car keys and phone.
Mechanic was already over the car thinking it was a mechanical fault, he didn't call me ooo.

Took the car back only to discover the following

1. Booth was permanently locked
2. ‎passenger door has been bashed, the glass is broken inside
3. ‎the car stinks like sh*t
4. ‎the new phone screen was broken


All in 2 weeks

I repaired the spoilt things and am looking for a driver, but this time like the yorubas say

Ojú ánu tí fọ!

He called me, I didn't pick cos if I swear 'for' him, it will be so bad that he would prefer his village people romance him than for my curse to kiss him.

Other drivers have even noticed a change self.

Why am I typing this long epistle

[b][/b]I just saw the same guy here asking for a car, on this thread, promising no stories. Yepa! Am angry!!!
The same guy, same phone no!

The thunder that will fire him ehn, is still using Yokozuna as dumbbell.

Dear partners, before you accept any driver please ask to call their former partners! Simple
if they say no, da wọn nù bí omi ishanwọ̀

Plus collect upfront payment ooooo

If you don't have, ja kúrò ní waju mi jàre, mi o ráyè radarada pálapàla.


Datguru, abeg send me that your HP agreement, am considering it.

Udo!

ridwanadedapo:
Am not here to argue this but the rating system is very wrong! I am saying this cos I know better but sometimes people rate not cos of drivers attitude or conditions of the vehicle but rather rate based on their personal life and which is very bad. Any car can develop fault at any moment, and the driver might not know until a rider notified or he get to know himself and I don’t think a rider needs to judge him with that by rating him low.

ridwanadedapo:
This is wicked if you do so! You don’t need to spoil another man’s life even when you know the consequences of your action. The only thing I expect of you is advise him and move on. I take UBER most time and am always happy to rate 5atars with good comment cos that’s the only way to encourage them.
Though the purpose of the Uber rating system is to promote good driver behavior. Poorly rated drivers with dirty cars and bad attitudes are naturally flushed out of the system. But when I have a bad or even mediocre experience with a driver, I view the situation pragmatically by assessing the risk and reward by giving that driver a low rating but what good does it do me to give him a low rating? It will make him a little upset, I gain nothing.

bily:
Abeg, what's up with Oga taxi. Do you get frequent requests?

Funny since I activated my taxify, I seem to be getting more request on taxify than uber which is kinda surprising to me.

I think general riders believe is that it's cheaper to use taxify than uber. Make dem hold onto that believe o. E dey sweet my belle.

iMerchant:
Send me PM, if you can deliver 40k weekly on rental basis.

Romeo3:
Who made you a king?

pattybf:
What is d use of rating, if I cannot use it based on d service I get?

Mind u, yellow n black taxi r still on d road, I cld easily ride wt one n it cld be cheaper but I chose uber. I'm sure u know d reason!

Do d right thing as a driver n don't blame anyone if u get blocked.

Romeo3:
We are talking uber in Lagos and you are talking prokat in Europe..... What is the correlation?

Are you are you are you sleep talking?

GAZZUZZ:
from experience, story is inevitable

good luck

chillex8:
When experienced drivers gross over #200,000 in one week and you are netting less than #70,000, don't cry ooo. Lol

P.S Am sipping whiskey at home. These days I work less than 8hours daily. No more night shifts.

I have paid my dues.

The young shall grow

bily:
By that time, I would have joined the experienced club

bily:
Funny you... So just ordinary 4 weeks Only. I thought you'll say at least 1yr.

It's only in this part of the world people believe you must go through the pains they went through in other to achieve what they have achieved.

sometimes it doesn't work like that. we don't always have to reinvent the wheel.

experience is an everyday thing, you get it while on the job. but you can easily ride on the experience of those that have done it successfully before you, and you'll be successful too. it's called leveraging

great tips are shared everyday here from you experienced guys. you may not see it as anything important, but some of us cherish it and make good use of it. I have even casted some tips from you in gold for future application

Schiphol:
Congratulations!!!
Instead of you to stick to the narrative moto, you want to be moving Lagos. Who knows where you want to move Lagos to
Now your village people got you while moving another property.
They want you to move your village deity to Lagos instead.

bily:
A lot, I believe depends on driving conditions. cars on e-hailing is a different ball game, they are the extreme end of the divide.

so if Mobil says 15k miles, Just divide by 2 or 3 to be safe, depending on your pocket

bily:
Yippee!!!

I would hold you to account o. Will remind you in May

GAZZUZZ:
you are in the business, you will find out...

GAZZUZZ:
after my car's have covered 5,000miles, I do oil colour and texture checks every week before I finally replace oil, some times they do not get up to 5000miles before they are due. It's not a I size fits all situation, depends on the state of the engine.
I recently did an engine overhaul on my rio 1.4liter (piston rings and valve stem seals) this particular engine will have no issues attaining 10,000miles.

bily:
Yes o, I use high mileage fill synthetic

bily:
yes, I don't have any experience, I made that clear, and I dont even know Lagos roads at all, yet I'm making money. I like it like that and there's always room for improvements.

I left taxify office at Admiralty 5.30pm yesterday when my taxify was activated and I could go online, I still made 7400 on taxify yesterday. today by 12pm I had made 11k on taxify alone. now I'm just chilling and playing with the kids at home. will hit the road again by 4pm.
now I wonder what I would be able to achieve with your so called experience if I can achieve this as a complete jjc.

my point still remains, you don't need experience to make money as a driver, you need common sense and be someone who enjoys driving.

the other stuffs you're talking about is managing finances, it's not about making money. even experienced drivers may fail in the aspect of financial or money management. and yes, driving under higher purchase needs serious planning and managing money, but the 1st step is to be able to make the money and this is my whole point, making the money is not so much tied to experience.

so for new drivers thinking of joining the platform, don't let anyone scare you. Judy do it!

25,000km oil change intervals. Don't let the label fool you, engines will start to fail.

GAZZUZZ:
Are you a jambite? This is a 2002 avensis

cross8701:
Exactly

GAZZUZZ:
about ratings and older vehicles,
this is a 1998 toyota avensis, I have never gotten an issue with it as per bad ratings, I use it regularly on uber.

Clean interior, chilling a/c, good entertainment, and good drivers personality.
