nitigriti: I've spent one year now on Uber/Taxify. The truth is the work has gotten more competitive ... I still gross #100,000+ every week; but I have to spend an average of 12 hours on the road everyday! It's not a lot of drivers that can do that without crashing their car one day.
#35,000 per week rental is the reasonable rental this season, with the driver handling fueling and minor repairs. Owner should take care of the servicing of the car and major repairs.
Drivers should stay away from hp. The reason is simple, driver's cash flow can't handle major issues that are bound to come up with the car. What I advise drivers to do is to set aside for themselves, a "car purchase" fund. Open an Alat account, set it so you won't be able to draw it till about 18 months time, and start paying in #20,000 every week. Even if you are dying in the hospital, the bank will not release the money to you until the maturity date. #20,000 per week multiplied by 75 weeks is #1.5 million! Enough funds for a direct tokunbo car, grade A++ ...
My 2 Kobo though ... Let us be honest with ourselves here. A driver will do 12hrs + regardless of 35k or 40k rental. Please don't let us deceive ourselves. What do u think will happen if the rental is 20k per week . And you beg the driver not to over work the car. Chances are the driver will over work the car. Because he will see as a great chance to make more money and even more motivated. So please let us honest with ourselves, so In that case why shouldn't I get the maximum rental I can when am aware that the driver will still use the car or over work the car. And most drivers don't care about the car. They drive the car anyhow because it is not their car. Once the cars finally breaks down, they just dump it and move on to next. Even if you treat the driver with care and caution. Sometimes you still have to remind the drivers to do the most basic things in the car. For them to even check oil of the car in the morning, they wouldn't do it. Coz it's not there car so why would I collect 35k, when am sure that they will make more than they deliver. I said it again and again, partners that are giving out there grade A or tokunbo cars for less than 40k. Don't come and cry on the forum that a driver as finish your car. Because I will not have pity for such people. I will not even blame the driver at all. Because you have been warned and either you refuse to listern greed or common sense will not let you rest. " A word is enough for the wise" And if a driver is not happy, he or she should go to the bank to borrow money or ask family and friends for money. Better yet ogataxi is doing hp for corolla 05 for 2m. And their terms is that you have to use their app. Than you can find out the true meaning of slavery work.. |

chinchunchu: Oga stop ranting on driver becoming greedy, wat about partners??don't we have wicked partners with dead cars and still want drivers to deliver 40k wen it shouldn't go more than 30k... u can't be viewing this business from last years perspective..have u ever been on the road for once...the answer is no....back then, u can spend less than 12hrs online with good positioning and still make like 18k and above, but now u will need to spend between 15 to 18hrs before u can make something tangible... Not everyone can work like that... And even if u can, ur car will be the one to suffer for it.....ur car been a tokunbo or grade A Nigerian use doesn't make anything, if its been overused, it will definitely break down someday... The business ain't like before...have u ever wonder why people don't post earnings like before? because everyday ain't Xmas... Ibeg stop tagging drivers as been greedy, drive urself and see...we all have choice, some might do 40k and even above while some can't do more than 35k...that doesn't mean he is greedy or lazy, its all boil down on individual capacity.....

I brought many guys from my hometown to Lagos to drive with Uber, they were into transport in the village, today they are very happy, they can't believe their eyes.
They were like me with good phone, car with Ac, then good weekly pay, Godbless you sis with this wonderful opportunity.
More drivers are begging me to come to Lagos. You shall live long my sister....

There is room for more cars , it just that drivers are becoming greedy. |

Yes I do understand your point without bias. To me that his a bad deal. The maximum for a rental for a tokunbo car or Nigerian grade A used should be 40k. Especially if the cars are maybe, just maybe starting from 05 upwards and it's a 2.0liter to 1.8liter below Now owners should be responsible too and be fair. Maybe the owner is new to the business. For me personally I wouldn't give any drivers those conditions. Now I speak for myself and am sure people will agree with me. My cars are tokunbo from 2007 upwards. The cars are fix and ready for uber. My conditions is drivers pay oil change and anything below 5k drivers are responsible. Which is fair enough but some crazy drivers will wait till the expenses is above 5k to complain . So in that case I will just tell them to bring 5k to cover the cost. To me it is fair enough. |

Humilem: Other than anecdotal evidences, most people on this forum have an incomplete picture of the ogunvic14 issue. @Romeo3 stated here that he was no longer associated with ogunvic14 without giving the forum reasons why he decided to disassociate with him. Nevermind that he claimed their issues to be private and not to be publicly discussed at some point. @kunletoks on March 11, 2018 had this to say "Please anyone with information on Ogunvic41 of Fleet Xpert whereabout should please contact me. The guy is a criminal." There was no reason given to give such a statement. @prodigyx1 on Jan 27, 2018 an accusation of misconduct was made by the op. On Jan 28, 2018, it was followed up with a kind of a "resolution in progress" statement on by both ogunvic14 and prodigyx1 (see below)

WE KEEP LAGOS MOVING DAY AND NIGHT... I AM VICTOR CO FOUNDER FLEETXPERT INNOVATIONS LTD
@prodigyx1 (response)
"Please Be careful, don't allow me look back. I try to always ask for solutions and not dwell on problems.
That you called and narrated everything I said doesn't mean we have resolved issues. You should have waited till you actually do something responsible before posting this. Cuz nothing has been done by you since this whole incident. Your first call was over an hour and had no apology not even after all that happened that I had to tell you what you should have done and prevented this whole issue. And after the call you thought over and decide to call back and apologize. And all your suggestions are the same thing the car owners were asking for from the get go and you decided to waste their time and money cuz you had more important "stuffs". Seriously don't let me look back.
As to fault, I'm waiting for you to point out mine. Even if in a private call or face to face or even here. Like someone said "don't hide under the unknown". The call records will be uploaded any way possible if I notice any false accusations.
As per compensation, keep telling yourself whatever you like.. If till this day I still don't know how money was made but I received zero naira when it was due and no amount has been remitted for 2 weeks work. And you never discuss it when we speak. Perhaps you still need to read your own terms and conditions.
My initial silence was out of restraint to allow you redeem yourself but coming here boasting and saying what hasn't happened is just very annoying. You just couldn't exercise control over yourself. Its terrible."
@ jpworld gave us this yesterday March 13, 2018.
"Attention everyone, ogunvic41 is officially a fugitive of the law, he was detained on Feb 28 and release after 2days. Promising to come back to the police station on March 6th, he never return to the station up till this moment, then on that same March 6th romeo3 called complanaint/kunletoks that an Army man in barracks has also detain ogunvic41 ever since then his number has been switched off.
A guy on this forum prince stand as shorty for ogunvic41 @ the station, when kunletoks called, he says he doesn’t know ogunvic41 that much, after few days shorty number also switched off.
If you hav any dealings with him, or he has been calling you in secret, notify the public now.
Romeo3 denouncing ogunvic41 in public is not enough, you are his partner when this transaction was done, and you need to be arrested as an accomplice, so prepare yourself for detention.
All of you involve in cheating this guy, you cannot run for long, I’m now fully involve, get ready SARS is coming for you"
Questions:
1. Has ogunvic14 gotten himself and by implication/association Romeo3 involved in other issues different from the one reported by prodigyx1 on Jan 27, 2018? 2. Can @prodigyx1 update this forum regarding the misconduct accusation he originally made against ogunvic14 on Jan. 27, 2018. Was there a resolution? 3@jpworld can you paint a more detailed picture of the case/s against ogunvic14 if you have such information? 4@Romeo3 have you been implicated in any of ogunvic14's illegal dealings? Have you been dragged to a police station because of some of ogunvic14's activities? In retrospect, do you regret your association or partnership with ogunvic14?
Thanking you all in anticipation of your responses. My brother I don't think any of them need to reply or answer these questions. When people were giving their cars left and right. I was saying profit share does not make sense at all. People were calling me a hater, I posted my experience with Ogunvic41. Don't get me wrong , he is very talented and very passionate about the business. They few things I observed I made it clear on the forum. Now the bottom line, the people that are crying now have themselves to blame. I don't feel bad for them at all. Greed was there downfall. Afterall Ogunvic41 did not put a gun to anybody's head to sign the T/C . The issue with him buying cars and not delivering cars to the respective owners , that I can't say much on. I don't have the full details on. And I was also saying that spending 1.4 million or more on a refurbished peguout was not really a good idea. I made that clear, that it is better to try and buy a tokunbo or a grade A naija use. But I was called a hater abi. I even mention that how can you get good service when a fleet manager has many cars under him. And that it is better to have your own team if u want to do the business long term. Now the same warning that I point out is about to repeat itself. Partners that are giving out their grade A or tokunbo cars at 30k to 35k per week. You will have yourself to blame when you can't make profit o. You are to blame for drivers ganging up for cheap rental. Eventually, you guys will loss either all your profit or go bankrupt . And the drivers will now come back to their senses. For me I will do my best to ride it out. I don't feel bad for nobody that lost money under Ogunvic41. We need to take responsibility for own actions. And we need to do our due diligence when doing business. It's a jungle out here investors don't be stupid, do your research and ask questions. Don't be a victim to greedy drivers or offer your car at a give away price on rental. At the end you can't blame anybody look for red flags. A word is enough for the Wise

GAZZUZZ: Luck has a lot to do with earnings, there are bad days and there are good days True that bro... but at the same time drivers need to save their money when the going is good. So when it slows down a bit they would have savings. But once business is a bit slow they start shouting to reduce rental price. Nigerians can't save in general or drivers are too greedy. Do you recall the Xmas period. Drivers were making good money. Did partners increase their rental? These are the narrative that needs to be address on the forum |

If u can get 2500 bonus for 4 days, 4k Friday, 6k Saturday, 3k Sunday.. That's 23k bonus weekly which is very feasible..

oluwaseunla: No sir, not a fan of engine flush. Need to look into it. If you can get the rite stuff it's worth it especially if your car is tokunbo. Cars from overseas use thicker oil coz of the cold weather. So you need to properly flush out the old oil before using new oil brand. We can agree to disagree respectfully |

It's not all about using synthetic oil, you can use mineral oil and change at the proper intervals.
