ogunvic41 and his company is a disaster waiting to burst. has the worst customer relation ever. His partner romeo is even a better person than him fact. I called this guys two weeks earlier telling them my budget. I was adviced to get a 406 buh I decided on a corrola, I told them I will be coming to Lagos to make the purchase and then hand it over to them. note am based in Benin and have never been to Lagos before. OK long story short, I called this guys on arrival said they where in a meeting we will meet up next day. next day knowing I had limited time I called as early as 6, I was told latest 7:30 they would drive down. 8am I called again they gave me a location to meet up...
I tried finding it buh I am a jjc in lag so I called ogunvic41 and I received a shocker. I said "bros I can't locate the place since you driving you should come over". this guy said in a harsh tone " I CAN NEVER DRIVE DOWN THERE". he went on saying I can't be controlling a busy man and am not doing him a favour as it is business if am not interested I should forget. This is someone I came all the way from Benin to transact with. we never even see he already was forming bossy and very rude. he later called to apologise claiming he was under pressure. well first impression matters a lot so I just told them am not interested. world doesn't revolve round them

Drivers earning depends on his hard work, we are only renting vehicles to responsible drivers and owners take responsibilities of repairs.

What will it benefit you to be promise 50k on the open forum and they will ask you to call them, then in that call, they will tell you, ur earnings will be 43/45k. or 60/40 and you will buy 30k fuel card, buy a phone and a spectranet, and you might loose your weekly rental, including all your fuel money.

Those guys believe owning owners is a normal thing, with us we pay you upfront,and face the driver.

Thats the deal.
Are you sure? So it is not 50k exactly and more like 43/45. Omo this is weird. I no go school at all or finish, so am confuse. The impression I was given was 50k with T/C . Coz I dey wonder as a driver. I go work my tail off and at the end I go share my profits. I figure most drivers just want to pay their rental and be done. My math was not very good in school. I dey try use common sense reason. Ha ha

I said this same thing long before he started his fleet mgt coy. From when he started sharing all these tips to make 120k weekly. I know he is being kind to drivers but imagine if like 500-1000 drivers use the same strategy, how possible is it for everyone to make 120k weekly.
I really hope Ogunvic learns from this and guard his business ideas with his life. It's a jungle out here bro.
So my bro. What is these secrets or tips you are saying? Wake up in the morning by 5am drive go island, get a good phone have a good car . Drive certain hours of the day. Work on Friday coz it's busy day of the week. Before Uber came to Nigeria am sure people or coy have been making money. The good thing about Uber is that it connects riders and drivers easily .
At the end of the day . If you have a bad driver or lazy driver there is no amount of tips that will make the driver hit his target.
The most logic thing that can be done his to be a good resource manager. So that you will be to hire good workers or limit bad ones. All these up and down tips and guard ur straegy stuff I tire o. You don't need a rocket scientist to figure it . Uber has already done half the job for partners already with their app.
' we can agree to disagree respectfully'
And you said he is kind to the drivers. What about owners giving drivers good cars to drive . And the driver still messes up the car . Abi na free car we dey give drivers?

collateral. Pay 30per up front , driver will say no money.

Drivers should put their mouths where their money is.

Walk up to your bank and ask for a 2m naira loan and see what it takes to Get it.

Go to a family memeber and ask for a 2m naira loan and see if is that easy.

Ask a close friend for a 2m naira loan and see if is that easy.

Drivers be shouting hP upandan like they have somthing to bring to the table.
It pains me this time around . I fully agree with you. I like your idea of drivers puting down security deposit first like say 40k. If Uber had incorporated this idea at the start. I think it would have weed out bad drivers. Drivers will be more responsible

Dru23,i swear u b correct guy. Tell us more truth about dis mudafuckers claiming fleet managers. Pls,speak ur mind. More so,cn i gt across to u on calls so i cn ask a few more relevant questions. Make person no go enta trouble thinking 50k dat becomes 43k per week is real...08082088007. U cn text me incase u dont wanna drop d digits here. One love !!!
My assessment is that you can try them . They have a reputation to keep. You can try them for a few weeks, and if you are not happy you collect your car. The issues I have with them has been resolved. This is a long story to explain, but if you want my honest opinion try them. Just make sure you do inspection of your cars every week . And make sure the car is in order before given them
My situation is different from others. I am trying to build my own team . That will work only for me and not 50 other people.
And also you have to decide if you want to go long term or short
Their requirements is quite high . Meaning you have to provide certain things for the driver. Like phones money for fuel and some other things up front . As with any business you thread carefully. Once you start having fleets of cars of your own. You will need two start having your team and u need to be hands on . I do voice my views on certain things on the forum. It does not mean I want them to fail. Am just been realistic and They seem to known what they are doing .That is me looking from a distance. Well give them a try and go from . If you need to ask me questions, we can share it on forum so that people will learn . Again my model is different from theirs

Honestly, I won't call that cheating, most owners explain the situation to drivers, probably, they have no money to fix it, expecting while they work, they will use the money they bring in to fix the vehicle.

It also happens in house rent, some incomplete building been rented out, money paid in for rent was use in completing the building.

And in this case, you will see a tenant challenging the landlord, that his money was use in the house finishing, so therefore rent renewal is not going to happen.

Finally, if the conditions giving to you is not favorable, kindly drop the vehicle. Don't take advantage of the situation.
And owners should not give out cars that are not good too. Owners need to be held accountable and drivers too. My cars are tokunbo o. I still spend money before giving it to drivers. I make sure the car is in good shape. Because I don't want to hear stories. And when drivers mess up, that is when I behave like an area boy. I did my part, so I expect you to do yours.

Nice reply brother. Some people are not happy the way you're touching lives of many young people by showing them how to make money on Uber/Taxify. It's only those who understand the nature of this business will teach people the way you're doing and that's why you're progressing and you'll keep progressing. God bless you my brother.
Touching lives. His he buying cars for people? He is also prompting himself. It's called marketing and if you want people to invest in your brand. You need to open up and express yourself. Yes he might be touching lives, just like me expressing myself and giving out information. Which is not a big deal. But am touching lives too , so that people can also think too.

Drivers aren't meant to repair cars...
Partners put blames on driver for damages not caused by them, our roads are bad, partners buy a lot of FAKE PARTS THAT WONT LAST and blame drivers for damaging the car...
BRT drivers don't fix the buses...
GIG driver don't fix the buses...
Bank drivers don't repair the cars...
Personal drivers don't fix cars...
Y SHOULD A DRIVER SERVICE UR CAR?
MY OPINION...
LETS KEEP LAGOS MOVING...
I thought u said this is a partnership? So drivers shouldn't fix cars ? OK agreed .. What about oil change... so owners will now do oil change ? So basically drivers can just drive reckless knowing that they are not responsible for anything. For my drivers agreement was anything over 10k owners will fix. Na you dey want dey teach all these drivers bad thing.
As much as we need to hold the owners accountable, drivers should be held accountable too. In the real estate business for Yankee now it's called the sellers market. Now for uber business in nigeria. it's the owners market. If you disagree, than let the drivers go bank carry loan to buy car. Let's factor in the exchange rate for dollars.
Please I want to increase my fleet of cars in near future. I don't want you to use these forum to promote bad drivers. Because once they feel this is how to do business. Owners go want kill person o .

Of course this forum is dominated by drivers, few owners comment here, there tactics is simple, they bully you into agreeing to wat dey want.

Even if they insult u, remain tough, no one else will protect ur investments the way u do.

Let's see if drivers will understand it this way.

Someone is working or doing business, manage to buy a car, decide to put it in Uber for extra income.

Then driver approach him, saying the only way to be successful in doing transport is HP, now that person is not super rich, he just an average guy looking for extra income.

After analyzing the risk, he goes with hp, because of his inexperience, and when driver default, they claim they have paid certain amount of money, trying to ignore the terms.

Those drivers sees Chisco motors and good is good motors they are super rich owners, with plenty of cars, they won't approach them, to sell one of their cars on hp, but u see an average guy with less account balance, you find a way to bully him or manipulate him, by saying all sorts of negative words, inhuman, greed, slavery.

You greedy drivers need to stop this nonsense and face ur work, if you want to buy a car, go to where they are selling it and buy or go to bank to take a loan.
Finally somebody that understands me . Do u known that most people that are against me on these forum are drivers. To all future or currant drivers that might want to own me money . This is for u

I have resisted the urge to add my comment on this matter, but since he claims that because no former partner has called him out that means he has not done anything wrong, This man here still owes me and has refused to settle his debt. He deposited two of his many senior school certificates with me and ran away till today (over 5 months now). Before running away he told me he wanted to quit Uber and focus on other things, not knowing that he goes around jumping from one partner to the other defrauding them as he goes.

There are other drivers that are very vocal here that are owing me as well that have refused to do the needful inspite of my benevolence and understanding, I will not mention your names, you know yourselves but please know that you will not go free with my money, I will get my money no matter how long it takes, and the longer it takes the more the price you will pay. I will not come to you looking for my money again but know that when you begin to be afflicted that it is because of the debt that you owe and have refused to settle, a word is enough for the wise.
Bro I feel your pain. This is learning curve for me. But after 5 months now. Things are taking shape. One of my car was impounded by lasma . Car was almost wrecked. The driver was recommended by another. The driver was new to Uber. My other car out of the blue the driver just drop it off. The shocks were bad and no oil change was done. I had to fix those things up. The only good thing is the driver did not wreck the car. Well I do inspection on my cars every two weeks. Drivers had owned me money. And the driver finally paid after a few weeks. So sometimes with these drivers u will think their village people is after them . Just have to take the good with the bad in these business or in life in general. Please any bad driver expose them share sharp .
Also partners before giving cars out . Put them in order to avoid stories that touches the heart. Drivers and partners need to behave . Owners just don't give your cars away like that. Be hands on do inspection of your car if driver is owning tell him to drop the car. Before the debt balloons up.
Most partner just want to make fast money . They are not taking the business serious at all . It goes both ways at times. Please expose them if you have to .
