Evening house. On top sey market dry, I decided to do offline to Ibadan this morning. 15k to Akobo, Ibadan from Awolowo Road. Never did such before. Did I shoot myself in the leg at all or very well?

The place I took the ladies to in Ibadan is about an 1hr journey to the popular Iwo road.

The trip cost me almost 3k fuel to and fro. Did offline of 2k back to Lagos, 500 naira passengers.

Anyone had experience of offline trip to Ibadan before?

peeps4u:
But which owner leaves car servicing with the driver? It isn't safe for the owner becuase the driver will probably not service the car as often as he should or even use cheap and wrong oil.

Reason I appealed to him to make sure he services with right oil and at right time.

I pity car owners who leave their car servicing to drivers they think they're smart by so doing.

Abeg where I go get request I dey festac around this mr Biggs at 2nd rainbow side...over 30min here now

seanaddy:
Guys, pls what's your advice on a 2007 Honda Civic, for rental on 25k weekly delivery and all repairs below 8k + all servicing will be done by the driver.

Its an urgent inquiry pls.

If its tok and the owner has put it in a good working condition with good tires take it because you wont have to worry about repairs if you're lucky say 6-10months, but make sure you use the right oil for servicing. But if it's not tok hmm... I dont know what to advice ooh...

Oga Felicity, abeg I need your help with Uber documents uploads and account n payments issue on Uber.

or gimme ur number make I call you.

Abeg.

I just sent you a mgs on WhatsApp check

northbird:
You assertion is not totally correct. Bolt n Uber run a concession kind of service I.e they get a cut from every ride they link up.

They don't care how many drivers share whatever is left on the table . as long as their remittances are secured they are good.

Take a scenario.

There are 5000 drivers on platform A. They pull in #10,000,000.
Platform takes #2,000,000.

Let's assume drivers share equally ( this is not often the case as some drivers will earn more than d other but for d sake of illustration.

Each driver takes #1,600 home.

There are 8000 drivers now. They pull in #14,000,000.
Platform takes #2,800,000.
Each driver takes #1,400 home.

In reality, there was an increased revenue. But there was no trickle down effect to d individual drivers.

But here is d catch,the e companies are not drastically affected in terms of earnings simply because, they take a cut of whatever comes into the pool.

All they need to increase their REVENUE pool is to bring in more drivers.

The kind of earnings drivers made in 2015 is not what is reflecting in 2019.

Yes, you could argue that there are still some top earners, but those ( drivers) are outliers, they do not represent the drivers in the mainstream.

Take it from me, the fares will not go up. Not in the immediate future.

The mail in bold is what I got in reply to my query to them with the recent instruction of the new stops and ride sharing...read below.

Uche and his team are bounce of liers, I wonder who where the drivers or stakeholders that attended the meeting referred in the mail

Hello ×××××

Thank you for your feedback.

Please note that the 20% increase in commission fee was effected alongside a 10% increase in fare prices which was mutually agreed by our driver-partners when deliberated during the round-table session in September 2019.

Also, the new feature helps ensure that the total duration for each destination reached will be adequately calculated and added to the total fare for the trip to reduce inaccurate fares and such related issues.

However, if at the end of the trip any problem is still experienced with the fare it advised that a fare review is requested before confirming such a trip.

Best regards,
Olivia

Drivers Needed:

3 units of Toyota Camry 2006 for weekly rental.

WhatsApp: 09032614208 for terms and conditions..

Guys see attached pix within on the demands apropos to this post, what I keep wondering about is how people think they're doing anyone a favor. Which one be if driver performs well HP will be granted na?? HP na free

Inasmuch as I like to respect people's business decisions, yet I hate it when someone sees h/h self as a king in the negotiation table where everyone is equally important.

DonJoeSneh:
You guys are not putting the woman into consideration, have you forgotten that after four months usage on Naija roads...the car don lose value aiidy.....The matter be somehow sha.

My advice has already addressed both parties involve, otherwise, I would've adviced he returns the car lile every other person have done leaving his partner with no other option.
Izzuo just mentioned something which is very true, and which is, the car has loose its value already after 4 months in use.

Now, if bros returns the car like you guys suggests and the woman accepted with open embrace believing she's at the winning end, either of the 2 will happen next.

1) She puts the car up for weekly rental which will eventually ends up a total lost to her.

2) She looks for another person for same HP but b4 she does this she must have to spend some money to fix one or two things. Getting a trusted and serious person who can finish this can take time mind you.

I can go on and in to analize this with my foresight.

So you can see I've already put his partner into consideration with my advice and with the present situation at hand both parties has a lot to loose but his partner has a bigger portion if she declines the driver's offer.

I've almost the same situation playing as we speak.
I've a close relative who did weekly rental for this guy for 9months without owning a single week, even when his partner uses the car for his personal use for some days this driver still remits same amount that week. the last time the partner used the car for his personal use car spent 5days at the mechanic workshop.

With mutual understanding they agreed on HP @2.5m. 1st driver used this Corolla for about 4months b4 this my relative picked up. I was totally against the amount for the HP, barely 2months down the line driver was fed up due to constant visit to mechanic workshop. Right b4 my eyes he spent 100k within a week fixing the AC and some other things.

Two days ago driver called his partner he's returning the car since he refuses to shift grounds after several pleas to him. Partner came early in the morning the next day to pickup the car by himself.

Next day morning on my way out I saw the car at a car dealer stand along Ilezik b4 ikeja along.

In this case driver loose because owner has recoup his capital since car has been on rental for approx 1yr 5months.

We the good people of Sagbama in Bayelsa State are interested in what kept you away

Hahaha... My maternal brother from the 9ja delta I recognize you. I izon o!

I lost the password(to Felicity001) with the iPhone I changed oh and I cant remember the email address I used.
Honestly, NL needs to change their account verification/recovery medium to other means.

Thanks boss..Good to have you back..all you said I have noted

In addition, use this strategy, inform all your guarantors and make an appointments with them on when to go see the woman. Go along with your official car, you drive HP car while someone else drives your official call. Dont take your wife along even if she's one of your guarantors she could personalize and blow off, you know she's boiling inside already. Inform your guarantors of your decisions and make them understand to respect the agreement and everybody's decision come what may.

Lastly, dont approach her with the mindset of "begging", its business so approach it professionally BUT only make an appeal for her to shift grounds on some clause highlighting to her. Then counter sign to the new agreement.

Remember official vehicles are never yours, so try make your wife see reasons y you guys need to continue with the HP with a balance that wont affect you financially. I once had a job with two official vehicles but today its no more and I'd to sell of my car due to high cost of maintenance. So be wise in your decision making.

Also, suggest to the woman to reduce the weekly remittance to maybe 20k, see how your new job is for a month then you would know if you can still be doing weekends hustle with the car instead of giving it out to somebody for rental. Mind you, the car is on HP and if your new driver recks it accidentally you've the cost to pay.

May God give you wisdom my brother

Good morning my people.

I am in a little delima and will appreciate some advice. I am conversant on this thread but not with this current profile. I had to use a different profile.

I was out of job since last year march (I resigned due to harsh working condition and the place becoming toxic), so to keep body and soul together and my little family, I opted to drive for Uber/taxify, I did the registration and training but had no car forthcoming after several tries.

I posted here about wanting a car for hire purchase and I got one from someone on this thread by October (reason for me using a new profile, though I don't know the person's profile but since she picked my number from here, I guess she must be following this thread) but on the agreement that I make a down payment which I paid and I have never failed any of my remittance, so currently I have like 15 month to pay and be the owner of the car.

I stopped applying for job just to face the hustle as I had plans to start up my own little professional business, but there was this job I applied for before I got my last job, I had already meet with the CEO of the company but I didn't get a call back from them, so I just blanked it.

But I got a call from the CEO himself last week asking if am still available which I responded in the affirmative and to cut the long story I got a juicy offer and it came with an official car.

I am yet to explain anything to the madam that gave me the car on hirepurchase, I believe I must be honest with her because the contract is her own hustle as well, but I may not be able to meet up paying her weekly but I can still pay her monthly but that will be from my monthly salary (this is an option my wife frown at, her reason being that 10month of such money can get me that same car, why pay it for 15month)

The second option is to give out the car to someone else while the person remit to me and I remit to the woman (but the clause is that when I signed the contract, one of the term is I must not sub contract the car to another person, as the wan has right to get back the car if she discover such). To correct that I am thinking of meeting the woman and explain things to her ,so I can sub-contract the car, but you know Some Nigerians can be funny she may agree now just to come back later and trigger the aforementioned term.

My people I will welcome any advice...thanks and God bless

Hmm... First and foremost, congratulations for your new job, may this new job bring a total turn around for you and your family in Jesus name.

Secondly, you really dont need to use a different profile because trust me even an illiterate will know who you're reading your post, if it were for othere reasons it would have been well justified.

Moving forward bros, like you stated you started the HP October 2019 right, that should have been 4months down the line and you would be resuming duty with your new appointment soon.

Bros, go to the woman with your guarantors and explain to her then make see reasons why you want to sublet the car to somebody else and if she agrees then proceed to a lawyer for readjustment on the contract while the both parties signs including your guarantors as a witness to the new agreement. But if she disagrees my brother, kindly hand over her car to her right there and take a walk. na God dey bless person.

Bros as lomg as your wife disagrees paying from proceed of your monthly salary pls don't embark on that its not a good idea, unless you want to tell us u will be paying for a car your not driving but just parking in your compound for decoration. Your 2nd option is your best bet but if the woman disagrees to it bros abet move on.

May God give you wisdom and victory even in the end.

For those of us going into HP I always tell them read every clause closely or meet a lawyer to explain and articulate every sentence to you before you go ahead to sign. Dont enter an agreement you didnt take part in making except for signings. Any clause you dont find interesting or understand ask for readjustment or a total expulsion

Above all felicity is back, greetings to everyone in the house.

Blessings to your hustle this year 2020
