Thanx sir

Good evening boss gazzuz.

slamstanlee:
No need to hate taxify for uber or vice versa, the best is to use both apps especially if you are on rental. Do i have a witness in the house.? My new corolla hitting the road next week tho

god bless u bro

OP

I can't see my name on this list

There's obviously a mistake somewhere

If your name was supposed to be there, u would be too busy to come and be passing comment on nairaland.

Hello house, my new partner just registered her car on uber and intends to pair with me to drive for her. She told me now that her profile looks like that of a driver, and not sure if she has registered as someone that can employ a driver. I have applied to be paired with her and I am waiting for the pairing to take effect since they said it's within 48hrs. I want to know if the profile of a driver is okay for her, since she also registered her car. Thanks

Romeo3:

you are very correct

Romeo3:

Is he really?

Can you actually say the number of people involved in 419 is less than a million?

If you have to debate that in your head then that's not generalising.

even if they are up to 3million people, it's not still up to 10percent of the total population, so it's not substantial enof for generalisation.

Those ones will soon flood this thread

aren't u tired of fighting for a party? U still have not learnt from their sitting position at IBB daughter's wedding? SMH for your future.

Mad man, is it Ambode that caused his son's death?

Lagos Roads have been experiencing Gridlock before and after independence.

Ambode is trying change the face of Lagos by constructing road networks and someone out there causing. The prayers of other Lagosians erase the curse.

I sympathise with him.

you are just a brainless fool. Why not read well before typing this nonsense? Where did u read that he cursed Ambode. He said he prayed for his son before going to the office. Meanwhile,APC meeting caused the traffic as the roads were blocked with lastma vehicles.

I received this from a friend

Ffk pls don't use d word "southerners" let the south west sort their self's out.... we don't care

how am i sure it is not Photoshopped look at the Air hostess

that is not an air hostess. She's an airforce officer. And besides, it was aisha's husband that shared the pix, so it's not photoshopped.

davodyguy:
If not for greed.

80,000 - 50,000 expenses = N30,000 gross profit.
N30,000 X 4 weeks = N120,000 gross income for a month.

How many graduates earn N70,000 a month?

Pathetic driver complaining

stop talking out of ignorance. Many of these driver do not own a car of their own,hence they often rent a car on aa weekly basis, which is between 40k and 45k. How does he pay 40k car rental out of the 30k left with him? Let alone making his own profit.

OlugbengaE:
I dont think its out of place to protest. I think its out of place to mock those who went offline or those who chose to protest.

Lets not forget that Uber/Taxify have no vehicles.
They depend on us for their revenue.
This latest move by the apps is too boost their income not to boost income of partners.
They want to make it cheap so that alot more people will use their app.
Uber has reduced their car year to 2003. This is to get more people on board.

Take these scenarios,
Uber has 1000 drivers who generate an average of N300000 per month. That is 300 million of which 25% is N75000000

Or

Uber has 10000 drivers who generate an average of 100000 per month, that's 1billion Naira of which 25% is N250000000

The second scenario is their strategy.

Less money for partners more money for them.

Anyone who thinks this current regime was borne out of the interest of drivers should bury that thought.
At least I know 10 cars that did not work since Thursday.
I know about 15cars working on taxify that were not allowed on uber due to model year now with this reduction all of them may come on board.

The effects of all these will be reduced earnings for drivers and partners

you have my utmost respect for this your analysis. I've been watching ur comments on this tread and i'm always impressed. It shows that, while u are driving uber, u havnt driven ur brain off with it. Thumbs up

intruxive:
See pure hate bn spilled above. Ameachi is solving a problem yet some particular ppl just want to hate for no reason yet they want things to change you peoples problem is factory fitted, no solution in sight

solving a problem by mere words of mouth? What tangible thing have they done since they assumed office. All promises and no result.

08. evil spirit

thanx. Nice one

Romeo3:
ok

what model of honda is that?

OlugbengaE:
I had this feeling that if Uber had retained their old prices most drivers would have switch off their Taxify apps. The only people that would have remained on taxify would be those who failed uber activation

you are very correct bro. But unfortunately, none of their team members is intelligent enough to think of such intelligent point.

jpworld:
So mean to say the new fare is okay, just the Uber commission is the problem?

never. It's not okay at all. I was just trying to point out the fact that 25% with the old fare was frustrating, talk less of the same percentage with the new fare. When u make 100k in a week,uber gets 25k and it remains 75k with u. When u take out cost of fuelling,lets say 25k, u are left with just 50k. This time,u will have to work twice as much and spend twice for fuel in order to achieve 100k. It's frustrating. I hope they revert it sha.

JABB:
Please ,Which Android phone work well with UBER APP aside from the approved devices?

I use infinix hot4 and it works perfectly.

OlugbengaE:
I requested 3 of those still working. All of them are on hire purchase and do not know what to do.

Me I be my own driver I don rest my cars till dem reset dem brains

are u on taxify? If not,i'll advise that u go on taxify. They now charge 5percent commission on the same fare as uber. All my driver friends are now offline on uber and online on taxify. It means that if u take a journey of 1500, taxify would take 75naira from it. Why won't drivers prefer it. Uber's 25percent commission is too much. I'm sure that taxify would record their highest sales today. I hope uber won't loose out completely at the end of it.

OlugbengaE:
BUT THE PROFIT MARGIN IS TOO SMALL.
you will put a lot of mileage on your car

that's correct. Car owners will get to do more servicing and repairs. And cars get old quickly before you break_even on ur investment. I hope partners would be impressed sha. Besides, it doesn't stop the fact that u may not get a request in some areas that u take a rider to...except u drive out of that area.

For those that are going for the round table discussion with uber, please kindly remember to feed us back on the outcome.

Tazdroid:
And you just had to start out with a senseless statement before buttressing ur point? Don't do that again.

sorry about that,but u got my point right?

Tazdroid:
If there's anyone who truly deserves to be there, it's her

try to think before u make comments. I love what she did for nigeria and not lagos alone but let's not forget that this posters are honouring those people whom lagos state has contributed to their achievements. Many of them started their successful careers in lagos and they are expressing their appreciation on the face of a poster. The woman did an heroic thing and she will forever remain in our heart but the slogan(lagos is my success story) cannot be said of her. Her death is not a success story to her and her family. She can be immortalised with other things, not lagos is my success story.

I got the message from taxify also. We can now see that it's because of the competition between them that they are reviewing the fare. Exactly the same rate with uber . I hope it pays them at the long run...cos drivers might start dropping their cars when target is not being met, and as a result, alt uber/ taxify's plan of getting more cars on the road.

protocol:
hmmm

they are trying to compete with taxify, but at the expense of drivers and partners. Why caant they reduce their 25percent commission?
