Requests would be hard to come by currently simply because nobody had any plans to go out till after the restrictions on movement has been lifted.

People have plans from 7pm tonight

nitigriti:
Yes, so long as I can show reasonable proof, e.g. bank transfer.
Anyone can come and claim 100k a week offline.
We need reasonable proof.

you specifically said it wasn't allowed. And that cumulative doesn't count. Why are you shifting the post for yourself?

nitigriti:
Another #26,000 Ibadan trip loading.
1) Lagos to Ibadan #13,000,
2) Ibadan back to Lagos ( a few days later) #13,000

Same client I took to and from Ibadan in December. I'm good to go

So let's say your uBer/taxify dashboard shows that your earnings after commission is 74000. Can we Add this 26k offline and rightly say that you earned 100k this week?

emsco:
I have a Toyota Corolla 2003 car (manual) for a registered Uber/Taxtify driver. Driver must deliver weekly. Lagos resident only.
Only serious pple should apply.Call me on 08131501631

Owner must post pics

Gentlelife50:
Early morning I said Oga, u go like quarrel ooo, na woman dey do wetin u dey do?

Oh I get it any post u reply u count it as offline, so that's how u get those offline figure.

i'll repost it tomorrow morning.

Since you're too daft to know that the price difference is constant, irrespective of time.

I just tried to place a request now from VGC to the airport.

Of course, taxify lite has the cheaper price. But if you say you had a higher price that what they think is obtainable, they will scream fraud, without prior consideration to the fact that the rider might have selected taxify, instead of taxify lite.

Too daft.

Gentlelife50:
Nice testimony, so have u paid ur tithe?
Where are those arguing me yesterday when I said VGC to airport early morning should be around 3k plus? Oya come and confirm it life.
I know what I am saying just that I hate shaking things especially when a lot of people are on it.

calm your self.

There is difference in price between taxify and taxify lite.

busayo2uk:
You are only taking into consideration those things you can calculate.

What about factors beyond your control such as:

- sickness on the part of the driver and being unable to drive.
- damage to the car that will require a huge amount and would not allow driver to work for few days.
- Yanking off by UBER or Taxify due to low rating or any other offence.
- for anyone to put a car for HP, am sure that car wld have seen better days -- [b]there is hardly anyone who can buy a chacha car and give it out on HP[.
- bad weather, especially during raining season

So you can now see that you can hardly project income.

baba, there are a lot of "if" in my write up. I have met all those conditions personally.

And there is a cha-cha corolla few pages back on hp

jaybim:
Been incognito on this thread for about 9 months. Learnt a lot on here before i started driving on both platforms, read from page 1.
I'm proud to say that i have NEVER defaulted in my rent from day 1.
Have i had to use my money to pay rent? YES, because my integrity is sacrosanct to me
Towards the end of 2018 I resolved to never pay out of my pocket again. So i set targets for myself, at least 15k everyday after commissions. I used to do 3k daily for fuel, that's 20ltrs cos my car did 10km to 1ltr. If I passed this allocation then i should have made more than 15k. When lagos traffic became hell late last year, it went up to between 4 and 5k...my car's efficiency has also dropped by 1 or 2kms depending on hpw much traffic i sit in (it's terrible in traffic or idling I don't know why, Cc Gazzuz)
5k is set aside for my landlord 5k for me...the rest goes to feeding etc.
I buy 200 credit like every other day.
At the beginning of the week 3 credit my e-tag with 3k (remember that the excess accumulates)
data is like every other week as well.1.5gb 9mobile at 1200, almost Strictly for work. Regular use data na glo,2k or 2k5 every month.
Feeding allocation is 1k on a regular day. I don't eat just anywhere i see food. 3h bread and beans at alagomeji or 5h rice plantain and turkey or goat meat from Cyril @ Haruna near Gazzuz or 4h fufu at yesufu sanusi in surulere or i do 5h or 8h chicken Republic or 850 @ The Place. I buy bread whenever I'm around Blenco Supermarket or any fine bread i trust... I keep it in the car for quickies. Nowadays I always leave the house with 2 boiled eggs and i have butter in the car as well.
I cut out car wash, that's only once in a while now, i wash the car myself.
Cumulatively I've paid around 45k to lastma and police
Bought 3 phones Galaxy s5 30k(screen spoilt, 25k to fix it so i blank am), Lg g5 35k (stolen a few weeks later at a wedding) LG G5 32k(still balling)
Since the xmas gbem I've only missed 100k after commissions once.
Took the 1st 2 weeks of the year to rest, should have travelled but bae was busy so i gifted her an iphone with the holiday money.
I've hit it thereafter, my worst week has been 91k after comms.
I'll say many guys here inspired me to up my game coz i was damn lazy, once landlord money complete i go begin play, but now i grind like a hungry mofo.
Savings has improved too. Any money that gets home with me is left at home, any money transfer stays in the account, I only buy 1k or 1.5k to start the next day if I'm crashing at home, if na my bro place for lekki I buy my regular 3k from Oando at 4th roundabout.
Farenz is an inspiration cos he's shown that its possible.
I'm not greedy, I still chill, mondays or Wednesday na movie day with bae so either half day or no work at all. She loves Coldstone as well so we must chop BOGOF.
Many guys on here complain daily but na this lagos me sef de o. I drive past long lines of drivers at billings way, ajiran, that circle mall road and i come out with rider, they arestill there. Maybe they just chilling as per man no be wood I'on know, but there's a time value of money. See as guys de complain about January...hmmmmmmm
I'm still learning though, efficiency can still be improved.
On the strike day (which i don't support) I picked a G-boy Ologolo to ibafo and back 1.7 surge about 5hrs 20k+... But, na babalawo the boy go. After he came out, him and the aafa enter say make we go that redeemed camp side.. needless to say my balls don drop finish. I kept praying and saying my hail Marys in my mind. Na so dem say make i stop near 1 small bridge dem com enter inside bush. I use style come out to survey the area. After they came, everything else went without event, bobo transfer my money.

In as much as the number of rides has increased i also think the number of riders has as well, considering the number of 5star riders i pick weekly. Guys business is a numbers game. Lagos has roughly 20 million peeps, riders dey. How many rides do u even do in a day? 10, 15, 20? Thats like an average of 10k (hypothetically speaking) so whats the whole fuss.
People de diss uber but when taxify did lite and comfort they stylishly dropped their prices but una no see am. How many of y'all raised it here? Can't remember anybody doing so but una wan kill farenz that day...what they did was simple sleight of hand. Now uber matched them at 15% commission some folks here still didn't know.
It's not all about driving and coming online to talk smack. Some of y'all have a crazy entitlement mindset, u want landlord to reduce rent, you want uber to increase fare... If person advertise 35k here una go abuse am. Y'all need to understand what a free market is and how it operates. I'm on 35k weekly with no wahala because I wasn't forced into it neither am i forced to stay in it. If e no pay me again i leave.No hard feelings.
And we can disagree without the insults and bashing.


As an aside, the grammar people write on this thread is appalling. Chixox...like wtf?
...and its HIRE PURCHASE... NOT HIGHER or High Or Haya... How can you succeed in a partnership when you don't even know what the agreement is?

^
They will start doing minus for you now. They will minus the money you spent on all phones, plus money you spent on ice cream for Bae, and then give you your "real" net...

Jokers.

mistadayo:
After setting out around 5am from ajah. Got a trip to magodo from Abraham adesanya. Got to magodo around 6am. 3500 was my fare. I didn't see trip until I drove to airport around 8.30am. Waited for 50min... When the request came in, it was a man going to egbeda. Wanted to cancel it. But my church mind said don't. Na so we start to they go. Got to egbeda and it was 2500. The man said I should end the trip that I would be taking him back to airport hotel on offline trip. When we got to airport hotel, na so the man count 10k give me. Ummmm. Good stuff.

some will say you shouldn't add that 10k to your cumulative earnings for the week.

Tgiirl:
I'm sorry to disappoint You, net earning is the same as net profit

Please, what makes it net?

If you 're considering debuting commissions only, u 're so wrong

so when taxify is showing you your net earnings in the app, they have automatically known that you will spend 30k on fuel and 20k on feeding for that week?

You people argue like bats

120k net earnings is 120k

When you now start doing your minus, that's your business. We can both be driving a corolla and we would never spend the same amount On fuel or we would never spend the same amount on food or data. Stop telling me how much will be left for me. You aren't in my pocket.

Stop forcing your weekly expenses On me. It's fallacious.

If 10 people are each given 120k right now, they will spend it differently. Your calculations are for you alone. Making 120k after taxify/uber commission has always been the forte of my argument and I remain on it.

Making 120k after commission is beans. How you spend it, your business.

chucsmoore:
Never used Lockito before. I dont do fraud. That screenshot is a work I did from 4am - 1am like 20hrs in early January this year.Despite d surge I have always wanted to break my own record of 30k plus I did previously.

The lazy drivers association will still insist that you used lockito

Ambition is the greatest lockito of life. You either have it, or you don't.

Well done bros

iyaegin:
Let me say this here...i still have my daytime job so uber is a side hustle.However I know I possess a level of intelligence that is higher than the average person out there and I believe I use that to play where driving on Uber is concerned very much to my advantage and not many drivers out there can get to that level no disrespect and probably fahrenz or r.... also possesses same level of IQ or maybe even more and so he utilizes it to earn himself good bucks and this is not salt n pepper things however this does not now mean every other driver can achieve this some can not just meet up no matter how hard they try because that level of reasoning is not just there however there is one key fact in all of this.i have been driving for over 20 years in Lagos and before I started on Uber I would say I had knowledge of roads in Lagos a good 60%-70% But knowing roads and being intelligent all still took a back seat, I still had to understand many things and tricks of the trade meanwhile I was also battling regular weekly Ladipo visits so trust me no newbie should jump into HP e-hailing if they love demself just go looking for rentals and learn the ropes for at least 3-6 months before you then say you want to go the HP route Becos by then you would understand the terrain, even understand your spending habit and savings mindset to know if you can run that race well even more but to be sincere some of these HPs are too expensive, finance houses are still much better.I sold my Peugeot after seeing Hell with it mainly Becos it was bought 2nd new and the previous user apparently had damaged it so much but I love that car so now am also on GO with a corolla and for 6 months ave not had to visit a mechanic other than servicing I can want to look back on the peugeot days as wasted but it was a much needed learning curve now I can afford to save at least 1k daily just to at least have the savings mindset.so please newbies don't go HP...go rental first but people like fahrenz are rare even some oldies can never meet up such targets no matter how much they try exceptvthru dubious means....just my 2kobo

Not ever driver can be an uber/taxify driver. They will still argue

brogxy:
Now you are talking!
This is what has been asked of you, weekly dashboard CONSISTENTLY for 8 weeks not cumulative.

You can do it, agreed. But what percentage of drivers can achieve this.

do you agree that I can make 120k consistently every week without it showing on dashboard?

SwayB:
Fahrenz been going through your conversations and i must say you are doing good. I just want to know the particular car you use for uber/taxify.

I drive a 2005 corolla. Bought it in octoBer

Tgiirl:
Possibility does not make it consistent... even from your screenshots, it tells it all...

I dislike people who talk too much without substance.

This is my current weekly earnings without stress.

Adding the 4k offline I did yesterday i'm a bit above 51k net this week. Minimum I need is 120k. I have 69k to go in 4 days.

I will like you to bet against me making 120k this week, and then bet against me making 120k consistently for the next 8 weeks so that these talks will stop.

Tgiirl:
Possibility does not make it consistent... even from your screenshots, it tells it all...

you are yet to answer two questions I asked you.

Why are you dodging?

Fahrenz:
i am waiting for you to analyze the remaining 104k for the week, so that you will calculate yourself and see that anyone on HP left with 104k every week after buying fuel, is on the path to greatness.

Fahrenz:
do you service a car or change parts weekly?

gobuchinny:
Yes my bad that's where I mixed it up...I get your point clearly I wonder if nitigriti mixed it up also if not then there really is no point to stress further as you proved your talk...

The comment below caused wahala. They all fail to read what I typed in bold.

It came with conditions. In the end I also noted that not everyone can do this

Fahrenz:
I understand you points.
HP is not for everyone but that doesn't mean it won't work.

No one can drive 730 days without hindrance and when I said 730 days I didn't mean it in a stretch. No one signs a contract that doesn't allow for hindrance. We are humans.

My point is from a positive perspective.

If a Toyota corolla is totally sound, engine, body, gearbox and suspension it is very easy to achieve HP. I gave that guy a number of factors that would make him successful and if he sticks to it, he will be fine.

If you can consistently net 120k in a week and you have a good maintenance habit and saving habit, you don't need two years to complete the hp. You need those factors I mentioned, focus, and commitment.

A tokunbo corolla can go straight 2 months without needing anything more than an oil change. And if he uses the extended performance oil, 3 months before oil change. Let's not talk as if cars break down everyday.

At 120k a week, he owes only 35k.

Do you agree that with the remaining 85k left from that week, it is enough for him to fuel the car, eat, recharge his data and airtime and then save at least 25k weekly?

If a driver on HP can save 25k weekly, by the 12th month, he has saved 1.2m and has paid out almost 1.7m. If he decides to pay 900k to the car owner from his yearly savings, how many months do you think is left for him to complete the balance

Don't forget the month of December.... Don't forget.

I understand that it is impossible to some drivers, but HP is very achievable if all conditions are met, especially focus and determination.

If you make 15k daily on weekdays, and 50k combined on weekends that's already 125k.

Someone like me will dust this HP but I agree that everyone doesn't have, not share my mindset.

Facts only

gobuchinny:
Hello brother I guess that's where the mix up is. ...don't know about nitigriti but I meant net profit which should exclude your expenses ie fueling, feeding, other expenses I didn't mean net from the app which excludes only the commission/fee.

I meant net profit but you posted net earning (gross profit) which is okay bro. I think we should rest this case as you made ur point clear...you are doing fine..much respeck

haba.

Net earnings is what I have been typing because net profit isn't a constant due to the fact, that different drivers drive different cars with varying fuel consumption rates. Some eat food of 3k daily. Others will recharge their phone with airtime and data of 10k in a week.

Net profit is not a given. What is a given, is net earnings. How you spend the earnings is none of my business

eghuan1:
OK. Apologies to him then. But he can't use what was made during the holidays to buttress his point for today's earnings

yes he can. Because during the holidays, not everyone was making that much

Tgiirl:
If I'm to follow your analyiss, it means you do want above 160k every week to earn close to 120k net.


My calculations

If u car consumes low to earn u best of 10k with 2k fuel (ie 32k fuel earns your 160k, right?)
Therefore, 160k - 32k = 128k net

If assume both taxify n uber charge 15% due to the all round 1.1x surge ( commissions of 15% of 160k = 24k)
Therefore, 128k - 24k = 104k net

Now, I'm yet to minus other expenses from the remaining 104k

The the above analysis, it shows that you have to do/earn above 180k gross weekly to net 120k

Else, you will be living in lies and be passing a wrong Info...


Pls correct me if I'm wrong... ( I m so good with valuations and can draw up financial analysis if u want.. lols)

gobuchinny:
I know it's not today's job but it's a weekdays job and not weekend...it could have been today's job or any other weekdays job.,I tell you, on that particular day some driver somewhere was saying uber business is dull...on that particular day some uber driver didn't even make 15k..so my point is the fact that I can't do something doesn't make me knock another people's successes rather ask questions and be optimistic about people's claims.

Not everybody has time to lie or make up figures...we should be challenged to do better and give people benefit of trust

They are fond of that nonsense. They will even claim it was made fraudulently just so that they can feel good about themselves.

If I have ever used any fraud app, may I never see the end of this year. If on the other hand I have never used any fraudulent app in my life, may my blessings never cease.

Amen.

eghuan1:
I de my house de wait them o. Should I clean my Remington 870 12 guage?

never did he say that was for today. He was only showing that it was possible.

The guy that made the initial claim was @377. Chucsmoore posted the screenshot

Gentlelife50:
I don't know why you are still dragging this thing, at first you said u make 120k every week that was what born this argument.
Me personally asked you if u make that 120k every week.

And for the, 1,693,569th time, yes.

Any week you don't see 120k every week on my app is because I did offline trips that will correspond to the weekly total.

Today for example, taxify net - 8500 uber - 3112 offline - 4000

Total is 15,612. If I make 3,388 I'm done for today. It totals 20k for today. But you will see 16k on the app, but I have 20k in my pocket for today.

The uber and taxify I posted for the past 8 weeks were all without me adding my offline for the said period.

Difference between gross and net. Let's stop twisting this thing.

Gross in green - 333,100
Net in orange - 288,895

gobuchinny:
Its not even partial net but full gross but the point is he grosses 120k every week which I think is impressive non the less.

net.not gross

bily:
Seems the problem lies with mathematical jargons.

You mentioned you could net 120k weekly which is what he was disputing.

On the other hand, you proved you could make average 120k net.

It's the average wey you no put for your initial statement cause the confusion, cos to be honest when I first read your analysis, I was already wondering if it was possible to make 120k net every week

for someone who drives on uber, taxify, and offline trips weekly, should the offline trips be added to his net income on uber and taxify, bearing in mind that offline trips are commission free, for him to properly calculate how much he made for the week?

Tgiirl:
What u posted are not net. Those are partial net of only commissions been deduted. How about other expenses, fueling, sevicing, car maintenance, changing of wear n tear parts... I'm sure no car is mechanic free. Be it toks or not

do you service a car or change parts weekly?

dudu osun

QuitNotice:
With due respect for your positive mindset, you are the one not making sense here. You gave the newbie hope that he can make 120k consecutively for a while, bragging that you do likewise. And the guy challenged you to post your earnings of 120k or above a week, for 4 weeks and win 15k. I think this is clear enough. Kindly post your uber and taxify earnings for each week, for four weeks consecutively; I think gsparks01 also clearly explained this. You used the word 'consecutively' in your advice, and nitigrity disagreed with you on that, and in defense, you are now resorting to the word 'cumulatively'? Come on, stop arguing to win.
You were advising a new comer, which is good. But the advice was a bit misleading. That's what nitigrity stood up for. There's no need debating this as we are all talking English.

I've moved on

Lmao @ pity the car.

I drive my own car and I save 50k weekly.

I can afford to buy a car from my savings every 9 months.

Or. After 9 months, I can sell my car for over a million, add little money and buy another one and still have savings.

Cars are over rated
