Bros, cng doesn't affect any engine... What the conversion does is, it elevates the problems or condition of ur engine components . If ur plugs were weak b4, it exposes.. If ur coil was weak, it exposes.... If ur idle air control valve was weak b4, it exposes.... Cng needs all components of air controlling parts to be in prestine state. No weakness allowed, cus gas has less power than fuel. Cng is NOT the culprit or the cause of their predicament, cng only exposed what was hidden or being managed b4, let's educate ourselves please. I just collected my car yesterday, the IACV(idle air control valve) i was managing b4, now the situation is worse, so i just have to buy another unit. It's not the cng's fault. Cng burns cleaner than fuel, better for ur car and environment, that's only downside (not for me tho) is loss of power, cus once again, gas gives less power compared to fuel and also power loss due to conversion.

Na the downside u jst dey talk so now. we all need education, and if you don dey drive on ehailing for atleast 3 months and u no sabi about car engineering and parts then you are not serious. Pros & cons dey, if not for Petrol price people wont even look at CNG option twice. CNG wont give you that full power Petrol gives your car, CNG exposes your car issues faster you cant manage electrical parts that has to do with engine optimisation if those options are okay with you then go ahead.

If u noticed nelochukwu asked a question about bolt and no one responded. So I was a lil pissed and responded with the moniker to show I'm d same person

Don't know y someone will ask a question n noone will respond

Bolt don block me permanently. Be like Dem know say I hate dem but I love the comfort sha I was only on comfort ooo but Dem still dey give me mumu mumu trips and plus if rider cancel or I cancel after interviewing rider my score reduces. I don't know why dey r so fixed on this their useless methods.

If rider cancel or driver cancel, na driver dem go reduce hin score. Thats total bullshit

Trump is too stubborn...the war is not ending anytime soon. Too much ego in the equation.

I hope this rain go bring GOOD TIDINGS

Dabadwela:
Install CNG

If fuel can reduce back to N735-N650 per litre, my Yakubu go manage ni o

Make this war end abeg

BOLT is scared of losing riders than Drivers... why should driver bare the consequence of a rider cancelling a ride when riders cant wait or maybe there is an issue with driver navigating.

You accept and cancel dem go minus ur score.
You accept and rider cancel dem go minus ur score.

One day their cup go full, it wont be like this forever sha

I have net 40k today with #4250 CNG... 04 Accord

Mehn, i need to think about my life

I really don't like island trips. The thing with Uber is u gatz drive around abit while using d app. Asin using heat map and navigating but at d end of the day u actually earn more. If I'm to do above 50k it will be with Uber but the truth is God will deliver us from working so much after doing that in the past.

This 15 trips like 4 are island. Funny enough using same 20k fuel I hit more than the 50k using indrive and I used AC truout and gosh!! Better rider. More sane rider. I indeed forgot the Uber feel.

Na 20K fuel give you this?
Sane riders dey Uber pass Indrive, na just commission spoil am. I shuffle between depending on demands tho

Bought fuel 15,700 and averaged 32.524 and that amounts to 16,824 and minus Uber fees of 5,986 ,I’m left with 10, 856 in profit , started my first trip at 11:29 am ..I’m not complaining ohhh but this shit sucks ..😁 .una way de get am right with this hustle ,hmm I give it to you guys ..everyday reminds me of why I need to exit asap cause hustle like this doesn’t cut it in any part of the world ..Make I never talk the assault way I still face earlier this week ,working for paltry sum ..I’m pissed

This thing na timing and positioning sometimes... Today i even preferred Bolt Comfort becos the surge was much at VGC today but the traffic on that Lekki epe fit burn car head gasket

So when i'm parked and i see N700-800 per km rides on indrive i dey off Bolt & Uber pick am o. When i see N370 per km on Indrive i off it and go back to Bolt comfort & Uber(to complete my daily Quest). Na make account balance and smile go house be koko

Jst start/set out early, it usually boost morale. So by 10-11am u don make small money/your fuel money. Every other trips will jst be additional and work go don dey body by then

Azertise:
God abeg. Why are you praising a N383/Km dashboard with your 2.5L RAV4 and with fuel at N1330 per litre? Holy. Boss, no naw, that's a foul. I understand, you'd claim your car and body, but try add disclaimers so unsuspecting newbies won't think that's a sustainable standard in these times.

And truly, I get that times are subpar, but 20k fuel to net 50k is nothing to be proud of, cause that 131km you drove definitely was more 6hrs, without factoring the time it took to cherry pick all those rides.
This same N360-N400/km was my minimum when fuel was N839, with my 2.4L muscle, talk less of now that fuel is N1330.

Aswear, I really respect your fuel efficiency if that report is accurate. I really do. But you need to optimize your dash. In as much as you believe Indrive is the way and the truth and the life, it won't trump Bolt during surge, especially priority and comfort. At the very least, you should average N500-700/Km

I dey try set this standard. Make e no fall pass N600/km

Competition is the killer.

From Uber competing with Bolts & Indrive, Lagride prices - Every app wants more riders and Drivers

Drivers competing for Trips on Indrive - leads to unfair price because people have different reasons to take the trip

This is similar to when MTN first came to nigeria when Sim card was 100K even as at early 2000s then Airtel, Glo and the rest came to beat telecommunications and subscription prices down by competition.

Na when you wake up be your own morning... i no knw wetin to talk.

I've started practicing this, sometimes i fit drive empty from eko hotel coastal to ajah, Jst to pick good trip... I'll rather drive empty than take 5k to ajah. But unfortunately, other transport unions get unity pass uber drivers.

App go con dey swallow apps

Soon the govt will bring Tax script

Main thing be say make everybody(apps & drivers) earn farely, coz right now only drivers are taking 100% risk on this ehailing

If u carry am 5K dem go tell the next driver na 5K we carry am yesterday

Gentlelife50:
And I met one today that was saying he didn't install CNG because many of them are regretting, that in the long run you will regret.

He was very angry and saying that they didn't tell them the disadvantages, like the engine pressure will reduce, that sometimes the korope doesn't start in the morning they will have to switch to fuel for the first start of the day, that it kills plugs and other things, that if your engine is weak you won't know because it won't allow it to smoke, he also mentioned they have to be going to rewire every now and then.

Just this afternoon as I was going to awoyaya.

CNG is weak, it wont give you the same Horse power as Petrol along with other problems. One CNG keke for my front no fit climb hill everybody jst dey overtake am for there. People will still convert sha, for me i will like the car to be CNG from factory. Why Toyota, Honda no run CNG cars back then b4 dem switch to Battery Cars?

As for the CNG price when the demands comes the price will be almost dsame as PMS.

capetownboyz:
Just got assaulted on this job on the request of a rider ,I’m hurt and I need to take a revenge on this guys she arranged to hit me ..

So sorry bro. Please make a police report, if na Uber quickly report too. I hope you have evidence or some things to prove your innocence and the assault.

short trips. my worst nightmare

When i started late jan. I dont take trips less than 6K on Uber and i dey run 5-7 trips daily, it reduces my confirmation rate. But now i learnt to combine both to balance my scores.

Pearl1910:
My brother, fare is poor. Instead of us to rally and go to Bolt and Uber office people are saying na to convert to CNG or buy electric vehicle. As if to install the CNG is free. Or to buy electric vehicle is chewing gum.
People fail to realize that d smaller the engine of the car, the weaker it is.
U can't compare Honda EOD engine with Hyundai Accent or Suzuki in terms of ruggedity. So under 2yrs d small engine or gear is dead and u buy another one. Is it still from the shitty prices?

On this matter of protesting every nigerians has lost it, people always point fingers at others adjusting to the situation or doing the protest in a way you feel wont yield positive results. Anyone can start a protest or lead one, but there will always be people who think different and because those people are more so we still remain in same situation.

Not to tackle you bro, but everyone is as guilty as those who do it different. Until majority have a shared interest and think in the right direction things will continue this way in Ehailing, Politics etc as far as na naija we dey.

Thats why people have party systems, Trade unions etc with same agenda and interest. If there is one for ehailing it will be a good way to protest and negotiate our interest.

Now pls show me how much uber collects, cus i do the same on indrive, commission is lower by half... Also, most times i even charge more, either for a detour or waiting but I'm sure i even exceed 600/km total in a week, as shown in the image. Problem i have with uber and bolt is the freaking commission bro.

Boss like i explained before. On uber pricing you just need to calculate your average NGN/KM at the end of the day or week. Some fares might surprise you and some might annoy you the next trip go balance am for you


For example for a 9km trip you can get 9K dem fit comot the commission high because the rider is owing uber for time wasting in prev trip or they didnt pay complete, and for that same 9km trip sometimes dem fit pay you 12K base on hourly but rest in mind that your next trip might be shortchanged. Its jst something you study or work with. I hope you understand what i'm explaining

Jamie90:
This doesn’t make uber better than indrive. Some of us here go on this short trips for 1k minimum per km.

I can’t start my car for a 3k trip if it’s not above 1k per KM. If passenger can’t enter keke and prefers comfort, then they should be willing to pay for it.

Only indrive can give you abnormal profit on short trips. I have carried one woman for 1.2km for 3k. And I even accepted because she was 300m away.

Ok boss, whatever works for you. For me Uber works for me perfect from Sane passengers to better communications and interactions. I didnt say Uber is better than Bolt or Indrive, we all know none is best we jst have all for different needs. So thats how i use those 3 apps together daily to get my desired trips

May God bless our hustle

Jegheter:
Pls where do u stay?u seems to get trips on Uber. I don't know when last I completed a quest on Uber. Request always so slow. U will wait tyre and once Indrive enter I'm gone.

But I like Uber sha.

Boss, i treat it like going to work daily

If you stay on the mainland like me, In the morning around 5am-6am depends on when you decide to go out but i advice you start early. Set your destination trips to VI or Lekki Phase 1 with Bolt comfort because you have 5 destination trips daily. You can also target island trips on Indrive too but na mostly N270/km you go see if you dont mind but i dont take it sha.

When you get to Ikoyi, Lekki or after Phase 1 target Lekki phase 2. Just dey shuttle btw phase 1-2 and Ajah. By 3-4pm set destination back to Mainland. Offices go don close for VI

Dont get trapped or carried away with trips after phase 2, because if 5pm-6pm nack meet u for that side e go hard to see destination trips back to mainland except u use Indrive to get out.

See how many trips i quickly completed in less than an hour.

So basically you learn Traffic flows with Uber apps for example, in the morning people are navigating towards VI, IKOYI, LEKKI. In the evening people are navigating towards IKEJA, IYANA IPAJA, OSHODI, ILUPEJU etc

Thats just what i studied so far and some other things i'm still learning from looking at the uber map radar

On Uber you will on AC for riders if dem ask sha o, else dem go spoil your account with reports. Na lekki people dem too like comfort. Person dey go next street carry Uber something wey we dey trek for mainland, infact i don carry person cross road before seems like 1km trip dat day i jst dey laff dey look the babe for rear view mirror

Kumuyiii:
Eno add

Bro Do you use Uber constantly? On sunday(yesterday) i calculated my trips and na total N750/km plus my quest money for the 10 trips i did.

During the week i dey calcu N550/km

I think what Uber does is give you trips like you are working for a company picking their customers to destination then your Total NGN per Km is average between those trips. Like i have said in my prev post. Some trips you will feel disgusted by the price then the next trip will compensate you and u sef go shock . Reason i average my daily income, i make sure i complete 10 trips daily (or complete the lowest quest)

Dedicate 2-3days to test it and give feedback. I dont take long pickup trips sha.

The day a car burnt at Apongbon bridge last week, unfortunately a uber car also broke down on that bridge, i picked the riders request to rebook a ride going to lekki when the driver was fixing his car because i was in Surulere. As i approach the scene Police don dey dey give me voice and trying to harass me say why i stop beside road, Me wey don greet LASTMA officials for back telling dem my purpose at the scene. See why its nt encouraging to help in Naija. Meanwhile the lady has been stranded since or people might be rejecting pickup.

That LAGOS ISLAND and Idumota area suppose be big hubs wey Ehailing suppose dey see better trips... but law enforcement and bad street planning no make am possible... na only Novice go gree carry you go or come LAGOS ISLAND

Jegheter:
Bro d different on AC is worth the stress ooo...haaa i have ran d experiment with my 2.5L engine. Haaaaaaa. I'm talking of a difference of 12-15k daily n u r saying not worth d stress ....

Haaaa my own big boy no reach like dat ooooo🤣🤣. Abegooo...

It is my covenant to continue running my business like this. Even if the price of fuel never goes down and dey don't increase d base fare cause my profit margin IS NOT TAMPERED I'm good. It has returned to before the fuel increment only thing I don't use Ac. Cause on indrive does 300-350km trip na dem plenty pass if u dey wait 450-500km u go tey.

So in order to keep it moving cause time is money I run it like this. When I hustle finish I go my house collect AC if light dey.

Bro for me I needed to do that experiment and it works for me. My plan now is to either get cng as I still dey torch light am. Someone here said he has worked with them yet he won't do it on his car so I'm still researching or I get a smaller engine car like a yaris and use AC forever but for now we must adjust d koko na cashflow make my money complete

D hustle is still very good just we must all adapt to the current realities on ground

So you go dey harsh sun from morning till evening, then collect AC for house for evening . Radiation go spoil your skin thermostat

If you see a trip more than N350/km on indrive and e tey for dashboard it means something iz wrong with that trip

I dey my Uber jeje, make i dey chop N550/km dey go

Kumuyiii:
So this caused a wahala for a rider and his driver just now... Driver tell am say no ac, say fuel matter... The girl tellam to go buy fuel, oga say he no dey go again, she say make he go drop am wer he pick am... Oga no gree, she no gree... Oga come down to go buy fuel, lady no gree come down, he lock her inside car o, according to her, for 25mins...b4 the guy came back, b4 he unclock(story doesn't make sense cus why you no use central lock open from inside) but oh well... She stole the driver's license, sayin she go suffer am.... Many many drama for this stupeed work 🤦‍♂️

I suggest you let them know say no ac b4 wasting ur fuel going, to avoid drama unneeded.

Most of those riders asking for AC dont have AC in their homes and if they have they have cut the wires. I picked two women sometimes last week as one dey request for AC the other one dey caution am say "you no sabi the cost of fuel" i jst dey laff for my mind. From their discussions the other one said they dont on AC again at home because of Band A
