Smart drivers with efficient cars will remain after this storm.

drive smart, drive small efficient cars.

The Market is not saturated, the low request comes with the Nigeria economy for now, even though the Government claims we are out of recession its yet to translate to reality. income is the same, disposable income is getting lower due to the general increase of good and services in the country.

alot of people are yet to recover from the December/January spending, February is coming to an end, a lot of riders are expecting their salaries, market will bounce back fully by April, be calm stay alive to make the money....

And i think its time for e-hailing stakeholders start praying for yahoo boys, the mainland owo epo, Wumego girls, they make the economy go round, in as much as Im not a fan of illegal money, this people have made business alive.

Cars are coming in and out of the platform due to a lot of issues,
1. investors expectations are too high
2. Bad maintenance culture of car. a client of mine said he services his every 8th month, my policies says every 5th week
3. Bad drivers and bad driving culture (we also have a lot of good drivers)
4. Bad mechanics (because a mechanic repairs your personal car doesn't mean he's good with cars on the platform
5. Wrong information by some people due to selfish interest. etc

E-hailing business (transportation business) is one of the business that gives you instant cash, as long as your car is on the road, reduce your expectations as car owners, so you dont fall into the wrong hands.
Like i tell most people we care to listen to me, you shouldnt invest more than 1.2million into this business, so you can recoup on you initial capital within a short time.

Do you think your car qualifies for uber, taxify, oga taxi. You need more information on how to go about it.

Honestly the biz is saturated. Really not a good time to invest for intending investors. When last did you see a driver advertising that he needs a car to drive on this thread. Car owners are now begging for drivers.

Until uber/taxify implore means of increasing rider base. Just save your money and don't lose that job.

Daveonoja:
bros that's why I said serious. I drive on the 2platforms and it's not even full time cos I have a day to day job but trust me I make not less than 10K daily after fuel.. if I may ask when last u see better surge...omo it's about seriousness and planning... no be learner day find driver ooo...no person were day the game....I sabs

orshore:
Thanks for that advice. Well my question is taking another dimension. I use a very sound Toyota Avalon and it’s a V6 engine. What are my chances of making profit with it on uber if I’ll be driving it myself .

slavemerchant:
All what you wrote here is a big fat lie, I drive a manual car and its very profitable, the only downside in driving a manual car is the stress that comes with driving in traffic, aside that it's a sweet sweet experience, stop misinforming people, manual gear does not wear out easily Mr Oga

orshore:
Good pm my people . Is a manual car advisable for Uber or Taxify . A Toyota Yaris manual car to be precise. Your responses will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Stealth100:
Bro I am not saying partners should start giving out their cars for 35k. I was only replying to that partner that was getting worried about the sharp increase in number of cars being registered on the platform.

My point is that if push comes to shove, we will only have to reduce remittance from 40k to 35k and doing that doesn't mean we still won't break even and make profit.

In other words, more cars are welcomed. It won't affect the profitability of the business.

I would like to see how your Civic fare, might consider it when its time to buy another car.

Stealth100:
Talking about lowering prices, I think its inevitable. With more cars coming on the platform at an aggressive rate as is being experienced now, we can only make space for each other by lowering remittance to 35k for 1.8ltr engine and below. We will all still break even in no time.
I already reduced remittance to 35k since January, and I believe it will take about 400-500 new cars to affect my and my drivers' earnings.
A corolla I bought for 1.5m in January is already at almost 250k in just 7weeks. 35k is not bad after all.

Demeanor:
This is same body from 2000-2005. ...point is understandable

You should be looking @ 30,000 per week...... Why not dash it out

But wish you the best in your search.

edetsimon:

GAZZUZZ:
For a while, a lot of people using vehicles whose brands I don't presently support, have been asking about the possibility of having a support for their own vehicles too.

While we have not yet extended support to those brands, an ex-trainee of mine is willing to take up such cars. You can give him a call if you fall into the above category and you have car issues.

GAZZUZZ:
flee from peugeot.

Pic is our most unreliable vehicle.

Coolbenzino:
I own my business too and I am an associate to many other business apart from Uber. Also married to the most gorgeous woman on the entire earth. He should do same. I hate to be a sorry ass that's why. Not funny to me when people cry wolf and seek consolation. He should be a man and not bring his sorry ass here. If everyone should use this forum to seek pity I bet many would. That guy didn't inform me before venturing into uber or published his intentions here. He doesn't deserve my pity. Such is life. I have had worst misfortune. Did I seek any pity here? Abeg... Drive your car yourself.

Now, all the i wanna be fleet managers are numerous to mention. But my advise is, drive your cars yourself or employ your family people so you won't cry wolf here, they need the job. I DO NOT SAY SORRY (adiro asi ndo). For future reference.

entparrot:

GAZZUZZ:
I have not posted on this thread since the complaints by prodigyx1, I was stuck on the fence because by 1st week of febuary I will be going into fleet management and I didn't want to look like an oportunist.
kayode and romeo are both very good friends of mine, and they do a lot of consultancy work in my place.


I feel very responsible for putting prodigyx1 in this mess, because I advertised car here, sold car to him, introduced the person who registerd it(pattybf), introduced the person who installed a tracker(fogman), introduced the lady who insured it(axamansard), and finally I introduced kayode to manage vehicle for him.

Before all this spiralled out into cyberspace I called kayode and told him to clean up this mess ASAP, I cannot describe the kind of pressure kayode goes through every day managing a mix of humans and machines, especially when peugeots are involved (blood sucking machines my opinion) sadly he could have managed this better.

On several occasion I have adviced kayode to stay behind the scenes and allow romeo do the talking.

Kayode is not a scammer, he is very pasionate about what he does, He needs to work on his client management skills.


prodigyx1 I am really sorry about all this, I have spoken with the insurance lady, and she in turn spoke with the owner of the other car, and they have reached an agreement which should commence Monday morning. I want to belive he will go to stalion motors to get an invoice for repair (Thank God for insurance), your vehicle will also be realeased too so you can get a repair invoice.


Problems like this can be solved easily if some of us can see the bigger picture.

The statement I am not begging for cars is very uncalled for and arrogant.

You are destroying customer confidence for not just your self, but for other upcoming honest fleet managers.

With all the noise we make on this thread, we do not account for up to 0.2per of the number of vehicles on the E-hailing platforms.

I hope issues like this will be settled promptly outside of NL, as accidents are bound to happen.

Finally I am glad you took my advice and insured with one of the best. Axamansard

Instead of you to plead for more investors to come in, you are chasing them away.

@AngelicBeing please bring that vehicle to Nigeria, we have drivers for you, they are hungry to work. They need to feed their families, they will be grateful for the opportunity.

In our Fleet company we don't charge you drivers registration, you won't buy fone or spectranet modem. All we need is ur car in good condition, and we pay you upfront.

Pls don't take ur brothers money to Dubai.

agborichard:
I really tink eveeybody should boycott dese guys

prodigyx1:
My anger right now can't be fully understood.

This guy called Ogunvic (Ogunleye Kayode) is the most foolishly proud, arrogant and irresponsible person I have ever met.

I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN IN DETAILS


Towards the end of last year December I was fortunate to meet the Mech Specialist Mr Gazzuzz who sold me a faultless Tokunbo Toyota Corolla. After negotiations and all documents handed over I decided to meet Ogunvic and try out his over exaggerated Fleet Management.

We scheduled a couple of meetings and a few calls and in all he was very boastful about the system he runs and kept guaranteeing its 'foolproof'. Here's a summary of his terms and conditions:

Partner to handle all maintenance and mechanical faults.
Repairs to be handled by the insurance company will be treated "DULY".
FleetXpert agrees to "Notify" partner of any mechanical problems with the vehicle.
Partner provides "N30, 000 worth of Fuel + Total Card"
Partner to provide driver with
A Brand New Phone
Spectranet 4G Modem
Car Charger

In the event of unfortunate events Fleetexpert pays Partner 60% of whatever driver makes after fuel cost deduction "before the unfortunate event".

After he then added an eye sore that Partner to pay N20,000 Driver Registration Fee which was not included in the contract. I specifically told him that's not possible cuz I see no reason for such from the partner.

As at the time I had no cash on me for all he listed and I asked him to handle the 15k Spectranet, 30k fuel, 1k total card and getting fire extinguisher, car wash and floor carpets and car charger (estimated around 10k) totaling approximately 56k. I told him to deduct 20k off the weekly agreed till its fully paid off and he reluctantly agreed. I went ahead and got his specified phone.

Being concerned about my car and its usage plus stories I read here on Nairaland about car theft and vandalism since most drivers don't have gated parking space. I asked him to search for a driver living around the mainland (preferably any in and around Surulere, Akoka, Anthony, Maryland, Isolo) and for security I asked the car be parked in my office complex which was by the bus stop expressway so it's easy for the driver to come out and pick up. With this I can also keep an eye on the conditions of my car. This offer was obviously turned down. He gave his reasons so I agreed.

I further asked if whenever I needed to use the car for work delivery or outing the driver could assist with discounted payment for service rendered and he agreed.

All doubts crosschecked I made up my mind to entrust him with the car regardless. On Friday 5th of January I handed over the car. He agreed to get a driver and do all necessary arrangements for the car to begin work as soon as possible.

Next day I checked my tracker and saw series of movements between Magboro in ogun state, lekki, ilupeju and ikeja. I called him to ask if he got a driver and didn't let me know but he wasn't picking so I asked Mr reliable Gazzuzz and he explained to me that he lives in magboro, works around ilupeju and has an office in lekki. So I relaxed even with sadness about the car gaining so much miles and no money to show. Kayode later called and with a tone said he wasn't going to continue with me. I called back apologized and explained my concern and we resolved the matter. He said he'll try to get a driver soon.

On Monday 8th he informed me he got a driver (Emmanuel Offikwu) staying at Agege and he's concluding discussions. So with hope work will start. According to the driver he started work on Thursday even though tracker shows lekki movements Wednesday and overnight. I found out later from Driver that the day he collected the car he took it to a mechanic to fix the silencer cuz it was damaged by Ogunvic and he kept it from me (remember the agreement signed). Now I kept silent.

By Tuesday 16th I called Ogunvic Kayode and asked for an update on my pay. He said driver made around 57k and he would make calculations and give me a breakdown. I said ok and waited. 2 days later nothing sent. I called and he said busy and I should remember I owed him. I still said no problem let me just know the breakdown so I know whats left or not. But by weekend kayode still didn't send anything.

Now according to kayode, driver remits monday evenings, he makes calculations and sends money to partners on Tuesdays. So by Tuesday I was hopeful I'll get a call this time.

In the evening around 6pm, I got a call from the driver and the news was he had an accident. While reversing he bashed into another car at lekki. Matters escalated and the car was in the police station. I asked since when he said on Sunday 21st. I asked if kayode was informed he said yes, on Monday. He said he was trying to handle the matter quietly but since it'll involve the insurance company to fix he decided to call me. He also told me he made 80k+ and gave Kayode 60,000 and he bought 7k full tank and 4k extra in keg. After his call I called Kayode and without blaming him for not telling me as per the contract I asked what he was doing to resolve it. He said he would call the other car owner and negotiate for car to leave station for repairs. I said ok no problem. I immediately called the insurance company (Axa Mansard) and with no hesitation the very nice lady (Taiwo who I also got from Mr Reliable Gazzuzz) said no problems, I should provide pictures of both cars, police report and repair estimates and that in a few days it'll be done. I smiled and thanked God for insurance.

Next morning Wednesday around 10am I called Kayode to ask how far, he said he had stuffs to do and will find time later in the afternoon to see the third party and apologize and issue a post dated check and avoid the police. This is a matter already at the Police Station.

He said he just got to know on Tuesday and I told him I didn't care and all I wanted was the car out ASAP. (All this while I was speaking calmly and he's the type that when he's speaking he wants you to take his opinion but when you speak he'll keep interrupting and press his opinion whenever there's a problem.)

He said I was blaming him and he got angry and told me if I don't want to "LISTEN" to him I should go and get the car out myself. I ended the call.

For a car that's been at the police station going to 4 days Kayode still has stuffs to do and my car was not important enough.

I called the driver and asked for the third party number. I called and he said we could meet at the station since he was close and that the police were even asking for the car owner to confirm insurance. I left my office immediately, went home to get all original papers and insurance certificate, I called the driver and asked him to join us so we resolved everything. I took an UBER and after 30mins on trip I called the driver only for him to tell me Kayode asked him not to come. I tried everything to explain to him the importance of him being there to witness any discussion but still he was adamant about coming.

Now my fire was burning very bad.


I got to the Lekki station where the car was and the police woman in charge told me the other guy had waited almost 2 hrs but left minutes before I arrived. The police further asked for the driver and I said he was on his way that we should start processing any thing.

She clearly refused and said all parties involved must be present to confirm who is who. So I was stuck. I tried to call the driver and after very many tries he didn't pick. The police also called and he didn't pick up. I called the third party and he said once the driver comes I should let him know and he'll return.

At this point I had to narrate this story to the police lady who asked for Kayode's number and called him. In my presence she asked kayode to come over so everything can be resolved amicably. Kayode bluntly refused and said whenever he has chance he'll come. According to the police lady she said Kayode was arrogant and rude and I noticed her say kayode should chill since she was the one calling with her own credit he had no right to shout at her or refuse her talking. Kayode kept saying if he's to come it'll be later in the evening that he was busy. The lady was shocked and said is he expecting the 2 car owners to wait all day till evening when he has chance.

She referred me to the case section and the DCO asked an officer to follow us to the Kayode's office there in Lekki. We got there in pretence as clients for the secretary and as expected Kayode wasn't there. I was told by the police to file a different case against him at the ilupeju station close to Kayode's usually location for defrauding. So I left.

On my way I called Mr Reliable Gazzuzz and narrated my situation he asked me to calm down and give him chance to speak to kayode.

Few minutes later Kayode called me and stupidly said the reason he asked the driver to wait was because driver didn't have transport fare and he was to send him money but was busy. That he'll send soon. I said no problem so I faced home. By the time I got home around 5pm the driver called and was apologizing that he didn't have cash and also went to the hospital for treatment and that's why he didn't pick. I said no problem, call the other party and schedule a meeting time and inform me so we all settle the matter.

Next day Thursday I called the driver and he said the other guy agreed to Friday.

Friday morning around 9am I called the driver and he said he was on his way to the station and the other guy said to meet by 11am. I quickly got dressed and called Kayode and he said the driver told him the night before and he'll be leaving home soon that he'll pick me up at my office so we can go together. I told him driver was on his way there so I'll wait. By 10:30, kayode said he's almost at my place. I called the driver and to my surprise he said Kayode asked him to wait at his ilupeju location so we could all go together.

11am I called Kayode and he said he's close. Called driver and he said no sign of kayode. I called the other guy and acted like I didn't know there was a fixed time. He said he was at the station and waiting for the driver who he agreed to meet. So to buy time I said I was coming and he should please wait.

11:30am no sign of kayode so I called an UBER and left. I called the driver and told him to inform kayode I will go ahead amd they should meet me there. Getting close to the station I called Kayode and he said he had to handle certain things but will be leaving soon. When I got to the station I met the Gentleman waiting in the heat. He obviously wasn't happy and asked for the driver. I said they were coming. After a few minutes I called Kayode and he said they were coming, further said he didn't want anything to do with police and I said not a problem. We can speak with the guy outside and the driver and I can go in resolve the issue and be gone. For him coming is just to assist the driver incase he needs to pay money to the police or make negotiations or stand as his guarantor.

After 1 hour no sign of kayode nor the driver and the other guy vexing and me consoling. Driver stopped picking his calls.

I decided to plead with the police and ask if anything else can be done, I wrote a statement and she sent to the DPO. The DPO gave the condition that I first fix the other guys car and mine remains till its done.

Till now, kayode hasn't called, driver hasn't called.

This is someone who claims to run a Fleet Management Company. No regard for Partner, No remorse whatsoever.

My car still seats at the Police Station pending the quote from the other guy who says his car was bought brand new and as it's still under warranty can't give it to any mechanic except the car manufacturer. Who he says will get repair quote out by Monday.

That's the current situation and he's here still advertising for more cars to collect and damage while ripping off partners and favoring drivers.

Note I have call records on the Wednesday and yesterday Friday between kayode and I. I have tried attaching but doesn't seem to load.

Next level savagery

jpworld:
Honestly, romeo3 and ogunvic41 are scammers... the 50k weekly payment was to lure you and extort you.

You can imagine you will buy phone for the driver, and spectranet modem, and also a fuel of 30k. at the end you will still pay another 20k for drivers useless training, not to talk of the very expensive mechanic maintenance.

Nobody is talking about the drivers default, which many drivers like @bodefakorede are using to scam plenty of partners.

Nobody is asking these boys questions, their history, how they started... they only come here and claim graduate..Forget; these boys no enter school, if ogunvic41 enter school, he will behave maturely. ogunvic41 is just a danfo driver, that migrate from danfo to uber, now claiming poch.

Romeo3:
Thank you.

jpworld:
You are showing me ur true colors... Your explanation makes zero sense.

20k for drivers registration and be paid by partner?

We thought all those phone numbers you and ogunvic41 is dropping online for people to call is actually free services

I never knew 20k is to be paid and people are here praising you for helping people for free?

What ever we need to know say it here, stop using the unknown to deceive us.

Dovehorizon:
Romeo, that was a flimsy response.

I must say I am dissapointed. So all these was happening and you were busy showing off flight tickets, to impress or smite who, Entparrot I guess?
Ogunvic, hmmmm, I really do not know where to start from. You have bin active on NL and yet couldn't take out time to sort out an issue with your partner, that is a very careless and unprofessional attitude.
The money to fix the said cars ain't coming from your pocket but the insurance company and all that was needed from you was to just show up, mehnnnn i nod my head in absolute disgust.

Prodigy, pls take up necessary action and don't forget u can sue for inconvenience and emotional trauma.
