Lions are animals, we are humans, animals behave abnormal.

Any gay human is abnormal.

The white people can't sell gay to us because lions behave abnormal.

This news is more like, lions do it, so should human.

JABB:
what do you expect lots of Drivers are onboarding as we speak

And over 10 thousand riders just downloaded taxify only for today.

sammie234:
You respond to virtually every say here. Do you get busy? Overlook certain statements and keep your opinion if people find it offensive. The voice of the people is the voice of god. In the states there is a regulation for renting cars. Their is good road networks and life insurance policy for drivers and riders.

Believe you me, there is a problem ur driver will put u will wish u never did transport business. Na small pikin wey never see life dey talk anyhow. Keep your opinion to urself as it works for you.

God bless every hustlers (car owners and drivers).

LOL... The voice of the people is the voice of God.

So the gods have spoken, will all should just accept.

You guys should just stop this manipulation, and hit the road.

darmilolah:
This guy sef. I will ignore you on that

Just for your lies to keep flying, or to justify Uber driving job been the toughest, you will come here and split lies, 4 drivers sharing one danfo...

darmilolah:
Wrong!!!

Danfo drivers never ever work from morning to night... Only the bus run from morning to night.

Danfo drivers do shift.

3-4 drivers drive a particular bus in a day.

Well, I have previously invested in danfo business, so I can tell you more.

Danfo drivers usually drive from 5am to 11am then 3pm to 8-9pm

No need to come here and say things u don't know, keep working on ur political ambition/uber national drivers union.

medd422:
Go to ikota complex taxi park, ask after Morris. They will tell u he's dead. He died in his sleep due to stress after he took up a 50k per week Corolla on uber. A lot of the drivers are dying but don't know yet. Pls because God has blessed you with some money to be able to afford a car for uber doesn't mean you should suck d driver dry. Don't be unkind to mankind

First of all RIP to the dead.

Blaming the death on Uber driving is totally uncalled for.

There are a lot of driving job that is worst than driving Uber. A lot of driver's here pay HP weekly of 60k above, and nothing happen to them.

Danfo drivers deliver 8k per day, and they are happy with their job, driving Danfo is far worst than any other driving, @ the end of the day, if a Danfo driver goes home with 3k he is happy.

All this speech been unkind to mankind is pure manipulation. You can tell that to someone new in transport business.

deedee44:
Dear parrot,
but you're not concerned that the driver is the one being exposed to accident, armed robbery, ritualists etc. You don't think that the driver may lose his life or become handicapped as a result of driving for you so why not let him earn more. That's selfishness.
Yours sincerely

Haven't u heard of a banker that was kidnapped, robbed or killed, on his way to work? They are expose to those crime because they have to leave their house as early as 5am.

Don't worry come and take the car free,.

deedee44:
Oga boss, if it's not your sole purpose to criticize me then you will do well to see the part where I wrote paying 40k is not the actual problem but attitude. I addressed it to parrot because of her lack of respect for her employees. Thank you

What is the attitude problem? For saying my corolla is 40k weekly, and demanding drivers respect agreement and blocking all loopholes, that will give drivers the advantage to cheat and all of you are taking it out on me.

Or just quote me where I disrespect drivers?

deedee44:
To start with, I can and will never work for you. Then I've got to know that there's no point trying to readjust your mentality, it's embedded in the core of the foundation of your upbringing that going to school is a guarantee that you will be rich, now you've gone to school and you're not rich so you're taking it out on people getting rich by simply driving lol.

Don't worry wen hunger will finish u, then u will come knocking, still continue eating that money, you previously cheated ur formal boss.

Olesekeniwoye:
You earned 32,700 between 16:40 and 23:58

I bow

I said it b4, Saturday/Sunday earning is more than enough to pay ur 40k rental.

deedee44:
Sometimes I feel you're doing this on purpose. Okay listen to yourself, bankers should earn more because they are graduates, as if you don't know that majority of uber drivers are graduates as well with even better grades than yours (if you're a graduate). My village boys are the types that will make you eat your smelly vomit before it touches the floor, I'm an example, we don't take shit from shitty people. You say drivers are employed to drive, before nko? At least they get to count their money, I don't see why you would rather be a banker who is employed to count someone else's money, maybe because like most white collar jobs, they blindfold you with a box called office (that = removing your trouser) and put AC there to destroy your last line of defence (that = removing your pant), then you start feeling on top of the world while you're being raped simply because you're enjoying the AC. She even thinks bankers don't get fired, smh.
According to you in reality I'm a driver, and so f*cking what? If a banker earns 80k and a driver earns 150k you must be an enemy of progress to discourage me from being a driver. Ntorrr your plan no work lol

It seems u r taking it personal, or u just lack understanding.

Let me explain again, u need certain school qualification to be a banker, but with Uber nothing is needed. Only go to driving school and get ur drivers license, then do Uber online 30mins training then u r certified Uber driver.

You been a graduate doesn't concern Uber.

ur job is to drive, so u r a driver... I call things the way they are, I was also a driver for 2months.

I will never discourage u from been a driver, infact if u need employment file in ur application early, bc by November I will be recruiting.

iamspeedracer:
After 12 hours. This thing is not making sense at all tomorrow i port to taxify

You have been missing out, taxify is the new gold mine in town.

Almighty Romeo3 has switched, so wat is little iamspeedracer waiting for?

lexylexy:
entparrot, someone asked dis earlier but seems you ignored it as usual. At least be truthful for once and answer the question.

Irrelevant.

Drivers greed is what I'm treating.

Olesekeniwoye:
It's possible that uber blocked his account due to low ratings judging by the model of the Camry.

If the account is blocked, first thing to do is to return the car and explain, not keeping the car to yourself.

Olesekeniwoye:
I have suggestions for you. But,
- Why does the car have to be parked in your house on certain days?
- What amount didn't you agree as weekly rental?
-Do you have a tracker installed?

Don't make any stupid suggestions, that will justify the driver's action.

What he is asking you is to put him through on how to drive his own car in Uber, during weekends.

Plenty of drivers are out of job bc of greed, after they will say is their village people.

sconp:
Definitely not bankers probably contract staff and tellers. Bankers in most banks are very few and are well paid

Some move from contract staff to permanent staff.

Just as few serious drivers will move from driver to car owners, unfortunately greed won't allow plenty of drivers to progress. They will use car for 1month, owner will collect it.

A serious driver in Uber will be able to purchase his own car in 2 years. You don't need hp to do it.

deedee44:
Dear parrot, Please in what constitution is it written that bankers have to earn more than uber drivers? Oh! you think drivers are not worth much because they're being employed for car owners to work for them, please are your bankers the owners of the banks?
We are all serving our employers be it corporately or the other way.
Secondly you calculate the best amount a driver can make in a week and you believe your birthright is the lion share, who says owner of car must earn more than the driver? As a matter of fact owners and drivers are business partners, no one is doing anyone any favour. Fine you're concerned as an owner that if your car develops fault you will bear the cost so why not earn more than your driver but you're not concerned that the driver is the one being exposed to accident, armed robbery, ritualists etc. You don't think that the driver may lose his life or become handicapped as a result of driving for you so why not let him earn more. That's selfishness.
Lastly when you're told about the risks drivers face or drivers ask to reduce your asking price, you enjoy saying.. the job is what it is if you can't stand it back off, what you don't know is that the saying can go the other way round like.. the job is what it is, if you're not content with what is realistic then back the f*uck off the business.
The 40k is not the actual problem but your attitude, a wise boss respects his employees, with the right attitude drivers will happily do 50k/week for you if it's sustainable for him.
That's the little piece of my mind, eat it fast and digest it slowly.
Yours sincerely

Lol, bankers should earn more, because they go through school to be eligible to work in the bank. to become a driver with Uber is easy, I can find all ur village boys including u to start driving. Education or no education.

When u drive for someone, you are called partners, bc Uber want to use a good tone to describe the job, but in reality you are a driver. You are employ to drive and make weekly delivery. If you fail you will be fired!

Go to chisco or GIG and tell them u are partner.

Finally, I don't care if driver earn more, if he has the ability to do 20hours daily and make 200k weekly not my concern, my concern is 40k weekly.

Because ur idea is to earn more, without working hard, then car owners should collect peanut, when car got spoilt u abandon and find another vehicle.

SirAbdulthe1st:
@entparrot, some of the points you are right, not all. Reasons people won't trust you here is double personality, what if tomorrow you come and say all the 40k/week laziness you said were just metaphors?

So you see, better stick to one path, you were with uber today, tomorrow drivers, who knows next you may even condemn all

drivers here once condemned taxify, today they are taxify drivers.

One thing that is constant in life is change.

Uber can change price tomorrow everybody switch to Uber.

What people are not talking about is taxify, taxify has taken us back to the good old Uber days.

So most of my opinion is presently with taxify.

sammie234:
@Entertainmentparrot, do u know that always on the road has higher risk to being indoors (office). Do u know that the higher the risk the more the pay should be? Have had a road accident before and no vehicle stops to rescue you? Have u been attacked at going point in ur car? Have u narrowly escaped ritualist because of the sudden calling of God's name Jehovah?

Personally I think driving should be a means to an end because it does not commensurate to its risk in Nigeria.

No doubt about the risk, in some circumstances, but the job is what it is, if you can't stand it back off...

Bricklayer/laborers are the main people that do the toughest job in house building, but engineer just come and issue direction and still earn 10times more than them.

jayooh:
Shaaap and stop swerving lanes. For someone who could publicly admit being cunning, you don't expect my to take all info stated hook line n sinker. Person weh deh complain work no good work no good, but talk see him just deh talking for talking sake, that she was making money. NB I'm not even sure of the monikers gender see?

PS. Stop stereotyping

Lol, what you could have said was the screen shot was photoshop.

My comments was a way to keep pressuring Uber to adjust their fare, bc any time I complain to Uber, I always send this link to them to see other people's view.

You can keep bad mouthing me, but I will still stand on my word, the minimum any owner should ask for is 40k weekly. And driving with Uber pay better than a lot of jobs.

Stormyweather:
dude how many bankers do you know? I don't want to mention banks Sha. Some bankers don't get up to 50k this is coming from inside. Take it or leave it

Don't mind jayooh he just want to make sense @ all cost. I have a graduate working in a bank for 47k monthly, after tax, I mean his net income.

Most Uber drivers want to turn millionaire over night, bc they want owners to see they are suffering.

A driver once commented here that no more free money for car owners, that b4 anybody accept to drive that the deal must be hire purchase.

You see the level of greed in drivers is way beyond the politicians.

ekatonsyn:
Hmmm.....[b]Miss Parrot, you seem to be attacking anybody in here that is trying to make sense regarding the conditions on Uber, [/b]at one point I read that you had driven before and stopped. May I inquire, why did you stop and also you could have been part of this earning challenge I see Romeo & Co are gunning for, abi you dey forbid to join the challenge no? Come to think of it, any partner Dem 40k or 50k from whoever that's handling car should also be prepared for the consequences, am not saying the 40k is not achievable withing two days e.g Saturday and Sunday like you calculated, because I sure say anybody wey dey use mouth drive motor nor dey get accident(Lmao),
But my point is this, such partner should also be ready to see his/her car always in messy condition, if you as me,
To whom much is given, much is expected as in terms of vehicle repairs all the time.

In this business sacking of bad drivers should be your number one priority, no pity! No excuses! Is strictly business.

If my driver damage my vehicle, he will surely be responsible for the repair, that's the reason all my drivers paid a deposit of 40k to start. With 2 reasonable guarantors.

I didn't start driving because I intend been on the road, i drove because I want to understand the business more, and my drivers are actually afraid to cheat, because they know I have first hand experience.

The reason why u all attacked me here is because I'm giving out first hand information to car owners, so they won't be cheated.

spartacus11:
But if d driver never fit met his balance target, he may be force to do 16 hours

Work money to balance
Work money for fuel
Work money for little expenses
Before he go work money for himself

If you drive 16hours that mean you are chasing 150k a week, with 60hours a week, you will pay ur car rent and fuel money comfortably and even earn 20/25k weekly.

Forget what people are saying here, just go make that money, Danforth drivers drive from morning until night, still they can't make up to Uber drivers.

jayooh:
Please let your screen shot show your hours spent online to corroborate your postings, don't just state your hours online as you might not be totally honest with those info based on your antecedence. Learn from Romeo if your wanna make fact, don't leave room for doubts

Here is the screen shots, I never do more than 50hours a week.

Im no expert in driving, infact when I started driving I was shivering no idea of Lagos route.

2 reasons makes me venture into driving.

1) a greedy guy I met here on nairaland, request my tokunbo corolla for 2.2M on hire purchase and on a weekly payment of 30k,the corolla I intend selling for 2M. He says he will add 200k base is a hire purchase deal.

2) 2 drivers I met in Uber office, 1 of them request rental of 25k and one asked for 30k, both issuing threat like you think is easy, you should drive it yourself.

Then I decide to hit the road. Then I get a clearer picture of the business.

jayooh:
First of, it's even silly to say a banker earns less than 2500 per day. (2500 × 20days = 50000 per month).
Contract staff see is getting 60/70/80k

Add 2 Saturdays to that 20days.

Then calculate the daily transport to working place.

If you are driving Uber and ur rental is 40k that means 5700 per day, 5700+3000 fuel=8700. There are days Uber/taxify drivpers earn 15k,20k,30k even 40k

And u are here still crying you are been used, pls quit the job, driving is not for u...

olaboy1:
Why are bankers not working for 16hrs daily, ask the HR guys and they will explain what productivity means. You assume I’m lazy because I propose a balance of work and live ethics. If a driver falls sick because of 16hrs on the road, the partner would be out of pay also, please see the bigger picture and don’t just attack because you have chosen to take that stance.

Let Uber pay 1,500 hourly. 1,500x8hrsx6days=72,000 weekly (288k monthly)
100k for fuel you have 188k, this should be enough for partner and driver.

Uber job is to live a normal life and not become a billionaire.

Nobody ask u to drive 16hours, if you can, do it, or just do what u can.

In life is all about survival.

olaboy1:
Working above 100hrs weekly is almost 3 times more than what should be legally allowed (40-50hrs weekly is legal), as a matter of fact drivers on Uber who drive 6hrs straight should be paid for 8hrs by Uber. Still wondering what kind of government we have in place with no directives and regulations just because they want to attract foreign investors who don’t give a sh..t about them.

This is putting the lives of other road users in danger. I will send a letter to the ministry of transportation citing good examples around the world...no driver should be put in this sickening conditions.

Funny boy! Anoda lazy driver spotted, as if Uber force u to drive.

I hope ur letter reach Rotimi amaechi well.

Olesekeniwoye:
No SANE fellow complains when there's is no cause.

Am sure you know what I mean

Well, there is a cause, because we want price readjustment from Uber. But since taxify got enough riders Uber can go to hell.

Romeo3:
ask him if he ever did 70k a week. and tell him to prove it.

Here is the proof, I drove for only 4days 10-12hours each to get 95k, Thursday I did 1 trip and was hired to be a take someone to epe going and coming.

During those period I'm coming to complain, I was also making cool money, coming here to complain was all politics to see if Uber will readjust their price.
