Pls. Everyone mailing me and intending to mail to request information, kindly be advised that such information is not free. If Gazzuzz can charge 20k to give information, I am also monetizing my skills a driver.

Cheers

You wey go sha next year after the next bbn

Mrtesso:
If u are a driver and cannot spell GAZZUZZ correctly, you're impatient!!! You're likely a responsible for the traffic congestion where ever u are in Lagos. And...


No





You will most probably jump to conclusions without hearing or reading well.

So learn to patiently drive, read and/or listen proproly.

Test ur patience level by visiting the under listed threads and reading slowly.

The same Taxify you said you ve stop driving for. You lie pass devil

i never said so. What I said is that I was not driving for taxify at that period because of uber bonuses. Go ahead and pull up my posts.

The net earnings on taxify I posted above are for a period of 9 weeks ending today. Uber has no format similar to taxify so I had to manually calculate my earnings on uber for the past 9weeks.

Bear in mind that full 3 months is 12 weeks

Total net earnings for 9 weeks on uber and taxify = 1,006,381

jarkbauer:
He should call you?

lol. I tire

thebigkendo:
I cannot see how you will have 830k in your account in 3 months, which is what I asked .. How much uber/taxify pays is not how much you have.. Scot made 830k in 3months.. Asin 830k+ in his account after paying 38k rental, airtime, food, data, police/lastma maintenance etc..

830k/3 = 276k per month
276k/4 = 69k per week after fuel & other payments

So let me rephrase my thoughts.. Presently in 2019, is it possible for a driver partner to make save 70k every week?

oga, you talk too much. This is my last 3 months on taxify alone. And yes, this is the net earnings. January hasn't even started. Can you imagine what this would read by January ending?

Now, would you like to also see my last 3 months in uber? Would that keep you quiet?

thebigkendo:
Nice.. But are you on rental? If yes.. How much.. Sorry for poking, am doing small Maths in my head..
On an average.. How much food you dey chop on the job daily?

Airtime, Data?

airtime 1k
Data 1k - 1.5gb

Business is business. 1k airtime is enough for a week. It's even too much. All I call for is pls confirm your location and I am outside. It's not for friends and family. Data is just to power my driver app and map.

Food? None of your business what I eat.
Rental? Also none of your business. You can see how much I have made that's all and how I spend on constants

thebigkendo:
Oga we are talking after all expenses(rental, taxify Uber commission, fueling, servicing, lastma/police, car wash) etc

oga, this is after commission.
I wash my car once every 2 days - 1500 a week
Fueling - 30k
Servicing once a month
I don't encounter lastma
Police is just those asking me for 200 and I give

No excuses

thebigkendo:
The haters are blind now.. But I know they will be back.
The one selling dead Corollas & the one deleting golf 4.

The issue right now is: Is it still posible in 2019 for a driver to deliver weekly & still make 830k in three months? Food for thought
Cc Thecar Gazzuzz Carshopper

over possible. Not for the lazy. Have not driven today yet.

jpworld:
No one will buy Kia rio 780k when informed the engine and gear is bad.

Scot was deceive into buying that car.

Kia rio with dead engine and gear should not be more than 300k.

they are crooks. Kia Rio hardly sell above 600k cos they do not have great second hand value. One without properly working engine can gear goes for less than 500k. The guy was misled

Carshopper:
Not maybe... He was told all he needed to change to put a functional car on the platform ... he was advised not to go solo sef...but he thought I wanted to hamper his progress ...

Las Las pikin wey go stubborn go stubborn

if I am to get this correctly, someone driving for you, hustling his way thru life managed to raise 800k(780 +Gazzuzz 20k) and came to you for help in choosing a good car to continue the hustle as a standalone hustler. You advised him against being his own boss but he decided to take his chances and then you allowed him pay 20k to your guy and after everything you saw with your eye that the car was bad but because you were unhappy he was leaving your fleet, you let him fall into the nonsense and now you mock him saying pikin wey stubborn go stubborn and you know that with 800k a good naiJa used can be gotten and you also know that you can import a tokunbo for less than a million. But you no help am or borrow am money to add up and buy a better car as person wey serve you loyally well for 4 months. SMH. You are heartlessly wicked and God will punish you.

veeluv2015:
Lol..... Don't you just love the internet?

Are you minding that one?

QuitNotice:
I don't think you're a graduate. Because if you are, you won't seem so satisfied with the roughly 60k you get in a week, putting your life in that level of risk, overworking your body and the car, etc. Ehailing luxury is for those who can afford it, not danfo or molue that needs 'more riders' to survive

I think you should be more interested in getting your Christmas fvck and paying the disease laden prostitute_ 5k, than mentioning me unnecessarily with your senselessness. _idiot.

Fostercat:
I think this is one of the best post I have read in this thread.

Ignorance and lack of basic skills to success is a problem to many drivers.you wont blame them though,as you canot give what you don't have.

I drive my own car and I drive btw 3-4 days in a week. Any day I chose to drive I wake up by 4am and by 4:30 am, I am set.i on my app and in less than 5mins I will just get an island trip.by 5:30 I am already done with one trip and most times from the island especially from 1004 estate u will get an airpot trip.between 5 and 6 :30 am I would have made between 5-6k.

I do not wait in the airport at that time. I rush to Maryland or ogudu.i definitely must hit a trip. And so on.

Drivers need to be sharp and proactive as u said. You cannot be sleeping or wake up late or go gisting in shoprite and make money.

Any day I drive I eat full meal just once,which will be around 10 pm or 11pm when I get home. I do not for one minute park to go an eat. I just usually buy 200 naira plantain chips and water and I am good to go for the day.

Most drivers need to train them selves on target achievement and focus on achieving it.though all cars are not same and all days are still not same. But the truth is ,if you learn to position you self,u will always make money.

Thank you. Someone sees the point.

No day is the same. If my week
Days have been bad, I make that up on the weekend. I have never made below 90k weekly after commission and fueling

Fostercat:
You are wrong here.

There is dignity in Labour.

Some persons who other jobs earn more than oil workers in some instances.

thank you. He's comparing apple with oranges.

Grupo:
Why do you have this air of superiority around you? See the way you are calling everybody names, because you think you are exceptional driver.

Now, going by your logic, a young chap who works in an oil company and makes your yearly income in a week can also call you a lazy and stupid man after all, if you were not lazy and stupid, you should have been working in an oil company like him.

thats your logic.

Why would you compare a driver with someone who isn't a driver?

If you think I have an air of superiority that's your business. I couldn't care less. I am exceptional and there is nothing you can do about that.

franksam2009:
but come to think of it, I think you and dru3 are right, no matter what or how much you reduce it to, drivers will always complain, the hardworking drivers are not on nairaland, the drivers should put theirselves on the car owners shoes for a minute, money does not fall from heaven on, a car owner worked hard for months to save up millions in other to acquire a car it will take years to recover his money on Uber oo , ND a driver will just come from nowhere collect ur hard earned car and wants to make same amount with the car owner SMH,,

Bro. There are too many stupid people in the world. Too many lazy people. We all have lazy relatives. We all have that relative that always reasons left. Imagine that person as an uber driver. They will make excuses for Africa.

Uber driving is peculiar. Not everyone can do it. Funny thing is those that cannot do it are blocking the view of those that can. Unserious people exist in every facet of life. Let the mentality that every uber driver is perfect and sane, stop. You see them complaing no request no request but go to any shoprite and you will find over 50 uber and taxify drivers parked there and gisting. Doing nothing. Waiting for request to come to them instead of being proactive with their positioning. How many people come to shoprite and where is their likely destination except short distances? How will they get request? There will be surge in Surulere and Yaba in the morning, but you will see 25 - 30 uber drivers on airport queue waiting. Waiting for what and who exactly? How many flights come in by that time? How will they get request? These are verifiable facts.

Many people don't have sense. You and I know this fact. How can you give a corolla to someone that doesn't have sense and expect him to deliver? Many of the uber drivers that are making this money have the same mindset, which is being their own bosses. So they know they cannot drive a car forever. That's why they hustle hard, make money, and invest in other stuff. But when someone that doesn't have sense is given the sharpest tools, he won't achieve nothing. How can someone wake up by 8am, start work by 10am and close by 6pm and still expect to meet up? There are very simple traits of hustlers that are inherent in them. It cannot be learnt and it cannot be taught. A hustler will always find a way. A non hustler will always complain.

There is always a surge most mornings in Lagos even before this seasonal surge. A surge occurs because riders outnumber drivers and why won't they be outnumbered when they are sleeping?

See people making money these past few weeks and posting results. I can still tell you that there are drivers here who did not still meet up with their rentals this same week that ended because they are fuckingly lazy. Try as much as you want to demonize dru23. He is saying the truth. It's just that majority of Nairaland drivers are too daft and lazy and will do anything to defend themselves including logging in with the various accounts they use for car begging, and liking their own posts when the truth is hit on their head.

Partners should wise up. If there was no money in this business the companies would have folded up. Drivers are the problem. All a partner should do is make sure his cars are in perfection before giving them out and watch the pattern of those drivers. Sack anyone who sleeps too much. If everyone slept as much as they do, things won't work out.

Give a lazy man the sharpest tools and send him to farm. He will still find a way to complain.

I know a guy on HP. He sleeps all day. But works all night. He owed his landlord. Because he prioritized paying his HP rental than his house rent. Sacrifice. He had a goal. Now he has paid off the car. These ones here want to pay 25k, sleep all day, eat the best food, have enough airtime and data for rubbish, flex, and be patted on the back for being a driver. Rubbish. Change your hustle. Return that car.

I won't stop exposing them.

Enyinne:
Case closed, u said it all

on a verysew serious note. If uber alone has 20000 registered drivers and only 9000 active, that only means that 11000 uber drivers are without cars and looking for one to drive.

I see no reason why anyone on this forum should allow a few 100 drivers with no experience apart from typing and those that can't even make 60k a week - to give conditions. How can someone open his mouth asking for a corolla for 25k? Give them the corolla for 20k, they will still default. One should stop paying them any attention. The fact is that drivers make more than partners. Serious drivers. Car owners should be tighter with driver screening. Weed out the lazy asses and give your car to someone who has a purpose in life

One wrote one useless article the other day, claiming a driver goes home with 2k weekly.

Really, how much does a driver spend on food, data, phone calls and car washing in a week?

The truth is that 1gb of data is enough for a week and Max 2k airtime. This is business. You don't use business money for personal downloads and calling friends and family.

Then feeding. Tf are you eating 3k food a day for?

chucsmoore:
Done for d week

this is your gross. Your real earning is the "net" after commission

BillGoldberg:
I wanted to say you are very stupidd for this comment. But after realising that your stuppidity is a genetic inheritance, I decided not to call you stuppid. Its in the lineage and my comment changes nothing. So, I will pass.

you are like a rabid cockroach in the midst of hungry fowls. Go find somewhere quiet and play with your small Dick. !Diot of a thousand fathers. What a _moron! I only replied you Inconsequential fucktard_ only because I wanted you to delete the impression you have of your dimwitted self that you have an opinion, and a monopoly of insults as I would rather chop off my left thumb than dignify you with a reply ever again.

Now, fuck_ off in the name of whatever god you worship.

deedee44:
More people diving in because of this scam advert
Do the maths, active drivers are not up to 50% of total drivers.

its not a scam. Driving isn't for everyone. If you understand that fact, every other thing comes easy.

GAZZUZZ:
equals Dead car, dead driver and no partners (short term)

thats what we keep hearing. But no one has died yet. More drivers are signing up. More partners are buying cars.

Someone posted a statistic of 134000 active uber riders and only 9000 active drivers. Meanwhile. Uber has over 20000 registered drivers. That's uber alone. That is what we should talk about, facts. Not permutations. Dead car dead driver and no partners was the same song being sang last year when uber reduced fares. Why haven't all partners gone underground?

Answer is simple. There are hardworking drivers out there making money for their partners and taking care of the cars they drive. They are not on Nairaland. I know a driver that comes from abeokuta to drive in Lagos and he hasn't defaulted. Don't allow the congregation of lazy complaining Nairaland drivers becloud the truth.

Facts only

ifyeez:
Because people like you couldn't comply, at least we made them recognize we are the head of there operation, without drivers NO Taxify n Uber.
Taxify was scared so dey explained there reason for the fare decrement.

they weren't scared. The explanation came even before fare reduction. Taxify only realized that they have ignorant blockheads driving for them, hence the need to explain again the fact that less fares = more rides. The same thing uber did last year. Driving on uber and taxify goes beyond the ability to drive a car.

When uber reduced fares last year for the same reason, it was these same set of people that went on strike. Taxify befriended them while making uber look like the bad guys. Now it's their turn and they are stuck with the same ignorant lot.

ifyeez:
You that called us fools when we went on strike is complaining. You coward much

i am not complaining. I never complain. I am only stating why I am not driving on taxify at the moment. That wasn't a complain.

What did the strike yield? Nothing.

I am expecting taxify to change their bonus pattern this week. Uber has killed them. How can uber be dashing out 5% on every trip since Friday, and also give out free 15k for doing 30 free trips?

Taxify don hear an. Charging 15 percent with conditions. Ain't got time for that shii

dru23:
Human beings are very funny ... u are enjoying now making 20k Naira per day.. When the enjoyment slows down to 15k to 12k ,uber will than become slavery job ..but you have quickly forgotten the days u made 20k Naira.. Just save for raining day.. So that you don't come out and say uber na slavery and rental should be 5k naira per week

Sense no go kill you.

These were the same people going on strike.

Bigdam:
Biko which day does taxify pay? Not seen payment in my account

taxify paid me the money I made on card trips this morning, including the 2500 bonus. Never happened before
