Don't know, I guess you might be right about that speed being a tactics, just so that in case they try anything while car is in motion, we might all have an accident, is that?

XGhost:
This thing you said, yesterday I was around Ago, was just completing a trip when another one entered from just around the corner. Drove there, swiped arrive then called the number, switched off. Tried a few mor times, same thing. I just reclined my seat and slept. When I woke up it was reading 13 minutes paid waiting, I called again via the app this time, the person now cancelled. As I de turn to leave the street request entered to lekki, 1.4x... I sing imeelaaa oooo

Slickleo:
Ok 10x bro, but vehicle is registered as company use. Owners name is Mr first bank and me no b staff any way to bypass it

When people say that agreement is agreement, the image below comes to my mind.
Why will you rent a car, rough handle it and bring to the owner to fix?

The fact that car owners take responsibility in fixing the car, simply means that how much you make using that said car should concern them. No one should compare this with house rent and Landlords.

The more hrs you spend online making more money, the more likely it is for the car to brake down. And the owner takes responsibility of repairing it from the fixed rental amount while you're smiling with more money in your account.

My own advice to car owners is to find a way to make drivers solely responsible for repairs. Even if it means collecting only 20k/week rental. And before the driver drops the car, he must fix and repaint the car back to the condition it was when he rented it.

hopefullight:
Felicity and other greedy, entitled driver come and comment on this.

Two years ago he was paying 35k conveniently to owners. Unlike arrogant, lazy and greedy drivers here.

Crvrider:
The other driver used a corolla but I drive a Honda crv. Not that it changes anything but since my glass is tinted I don't roll up the windows at night. The truth is that there's no justification for taking such risk but what will I do.

I am considering coming out tonight though, so if you see a Honda crv in your neighborhood, just know its me.

Thank sir
I've been trying if i could win reasonable money through betting for Uber business but it isn't easy. I pray things change soon for me, thanks again sir for your kindness.

Crvrider:
You're right about the rider being desperate and more over they where like 7-8guys. I carried 4 of them and another driver carried the other half.

I suspected the other driver was feli, but nah, feli too lazy to drive what that guy drove last night, jeez I didn't see the guys tail light till we got to the destination.

However, the reason I am seriously considering the night thing is just how free the roads are. The risk still dey cut my liver sha.

Okay, look at what a moderator just banned me for. What did I say that others did not say? No wahala. I spoke of bias the other time. I'm used to it.

I have this account and the other, but I'll never comment here again till the ban expires.

My life isn't tied to nairaland. Cheers.

Whoever reported the post, thanks. Hope you get all the happiness and fulfilment you seek.

Let me be honest here based on my experience on this hustle.

I got my Corolla back then on higher purchase just 2 years ago. Have finished paying for the car though.

I’m responsible for 100% repairs and during my 2years contract, I had accident ooh because I used to work like Jacky I mean i used to sleep on the island sometimes and I used to see heavy earnings 181k sometimes but not reflecting on the account nevertheless I don’t owe my partner.

Problem start arising during the times of repairing I’ll hustle for a month straight and spent almost 100k to fix car. Bushing leakage hub brake pad changing oil and so on just name it.

Suddenly I realized that I’m just paying bills which I’m grateful to god and paying my partner too but Mechanic is getting richer off me. To the extent that I drove my car to mechanic and the mechanic condemned the engine that was how I ended up driving for Moove to gather money buy engine (a story I shared here).

Fortunately for me, I had occasion in Ibadan and one of my friend apprentice drove my car to hit another vehicle just my bumper got scratched but I don’t know that grace of God just found me that day.

Am sorry for my story to be too long but kindly read digest and learn a lesson from it.

Getting to panel beater, (anybody that has been to Ibadan mechanic yard will understand how big it used to be. You’ll find everything you need panel, Rewire, mechanic etc.) naso mechanic approach me say my brake pad is low I say how much him talk say 2k or 1500 I said go and bring it he showed me I told him to change it gave him 5h and he appreciated.

I called mechanic aside and started asking him prices of part Corola part oh. I got shocked brake disc tokumbo 6k for both side . Engine seats 4K each labor is so cheap. Let me stop here before Lagos spare part dealer come for my head.

I started fixing my vehicle in Ibadan afterward or buy part and told them to send it for me which I’ll use 1,500 collect and pay Lagos mechanic max 3k for labor.

Below is what I notice that’s eating our earnings most

1. Mechanic is the major problem here
2. Expensive part dealers
3. Fake part dealers
4. Driver saving culture
5. Still mechanic
6. Type of vehicle you’re using.

You can add yours….

My revelations so far, I’m working on goal to get second vehicle to give person to drive for me.

Who say you can’t build house with Uber money? Tell that person say he or she is stupid. Although not that house in banana island oh but eh get reason why I Dey go Ibadan every 2 months for inspection.

Below is what I’ve saved in this July alone and I shared some screenshots TOO.

Here’s my target a day I jet out
1. I must save 5k aside drop 1k in kolo and whatever remain will still go into savings

2. If I don’t eat at home before leaving or carry food along, i would branch chicken republic buy 2 refuel mill just 1250 naira. Or any nice restaurant but I don’t do this everyday.

3. I set my target and goals on daily basis

Kindly see my post and screenshot as motivation not for lazy I’ve got stories to tell when I finally achieve my goals

Saving app 154k
Cash on hand 70k with 5k each
I lost counting of kolo money cos it’s more than six months have been saving on it. Till December before I could get how much I’m saving.
I don’t need to share my account balance make nobody come for my head.
And that was my monthly earnings

I rest here

davit:

Slickleo:

InfinityEstates:
Nigerians, we get coconut head sha... People still dey waka by this time?

tojahh:
Why will they always tell us this... What about the drivers that took their own monies to bank before sleeping? And sleeping in a more secured place.

Well... Even though all of them were virgins, some actually were termed fooolish... Na so Bible talk am.

[color=royalblue]The problem is not the number of hours he worked

The problem is where he chose to rest.

LilX:
Wow, 3m is not bad for a tokunbo vehicle

Springboot:
The question should be, is the feli guy still fighting with everyone? The guy jumps on every opportunity to fight. I remember when I posted the fact that I gave my corolla out on HP for 3m, he called me greedy for trying to make less than 800k on a tokunbo VEHICLE IN 2 YEARS.

kanuisagoat:

eyinola:
its actually included, told a rider to come out of the airport and he walked down to the bus stop when I end the ride the fee was added

dapotemi:
Egbon Feli, in case you want to switch to bus please let me know... I think early last year or thereabout (i will check doc for exact date), i bought a toks VW bus on this platform, from Lade007, he's based in Europe, i saw his numerous advert and i reached out, got the bus and it arrive safely. I have never met Lade007 before, and i parted with almost 2m then. He was true to his word, from day 1, despite few challenges which was not his fault. His integrity is intact...

You know why am saying this to you egbon feli, you are the symbol of failure on this thread, you have failed in almost everything you're known for....Maybe you should try my bus, i will reduce the rent, for the sake of that poor woman wey dey feed you for house. Now i see why you're so mad dru did not pay for your rice...Ebinna...

dapotemi:
On Wednesday, i did retrieve my car as i intend doing... It will now go for 35k last, and by december Gods willing, it will be 40k...There is no crime if both partners and driver dey smile, if actually it is partnership..

CheerfulGiver:
Dumb cheat. It's always added to your compensated cash discount for the day. You would have known if you weren't so dumb.

Observe your next airport trip and stop cheating people. No wonder your wife has to feed you on a regular, hard working woman. Cheating always has consequences.

dapotemi:
We acknowledge the situation of thibgs when the period was tough, post covid.. Now everywhere na stew, we must also acknowledge it.. Egbon baby was one of those wey dey like my post then...

BAZ001:
Did you just reply support team, with don’t thank me for understanding cos I don’t understand anything?

From today I don begin fear you.

deedee44:
Mr feli always gbona felifeli lol. You no dey tire ni

CheerfulGiver:
They include it all the time. The break down is in your daily earnings page.

I told you you were a dumb person. Now your riders over pay you. Dumb cheat.

dapotemi:
I bought a bankers corolla in Feb 2020, bought it quite cheap, spent about 20k to put it in good shape, total cost is still less than 700k. Please, note that car is manual.

dapotemi:
All this can be solve only if we have INTEGRITY/HONESTY, which is lacking in most driver/rider. Nigerians always wants to cheat the system...How come almost everything that works perfectly usually becomes an issue once it's introduce here...It's just an integrity issue.
If owners can verify trips, am sure rental would not be this low/poor....How come a driver that comes to a negotiating table with NOTHING, albeit maybe one "power horse" ( a driver said he's offering energy) be talking about taking 70% of earned revenue...They said it's partnership. What kind of partnership offers you, a driver that is contributing zero naira, more than 70% of the revenue, to someone that finance the project 100%, to get maybe 30%. Some of you have tried to explained why it is so; but honestly, it is making sense to you because you are a driver now; hopefully if you cross to the other side, the partner side, it wont make sense again...and that is the DISHONEST part of it.
I still believe no matter the improvement that is made to the app, if you have this same dishonest people, well it might not just work out..

dapotemi:
LOL...Aiye oooooooooooooooooooo....Cheerfulgiver pls have mercy...This is manslaughter...This is inhumane....only a SAN can handle this boy's case.......I pity his rider today, na straight to lagoon......Make i quickly go inform Oba of Lagos.

jpworld:
When you're almost 40 or above 40, with zero achievement, this is how you talk.

Allow the young boys that are still young to use their youthful age to hustle.

As a beginner, in banks, pharmaceutical.top corporate organizationThere is no decent job in Nigeria that will allow you to own a Corolla in 2years. Except you involve in shady stuffs.

But here with uber, people are offering that scheme and alot of drivers are achieving it.

Stop been hateful bc you're old, still appreciate God, you married a hardworking woman that put food on your table, whenever car owners retrieve their car from you.

ndubuisi2021:
You didn't state the number of hours you put in to earn 113k from Monday to Thursday. It appears you drove for at least 80hours between Monday to Thursday out of 96hours God made available going by the analogy of earning between 1.5k - 2k an hour. And you also used 30-40k fuel. Always put things in proper perspective.

It's your own choice to work for 20hrs out of 24hrs of the day. Most folks wouldn't. I know for a fact that one can even make 50k a day if you choose to work all day and go to some dead end places in Lagos. I for one, wouldn't. That doesn't mean that I'm lazy. Different strokes for different folks. All these dashboard posting for public consumption, bragging about it and chest beating is highly unnecessary, it's what we already know, the more you stay online, the more you earn, especially when you agree to virtually every trip that comes your way. No hard and fast rule to it. Do you player and let others be.
