Merry Christmas Nairalanders

How do car owners in Nigeria cope with their cars that required premium fuel? Are these Mercedes benz and lexus owners aware of the fuel required for their cars? Let's discuss......

Hello boss, my car just started this issue. Once i hit 110km/hr the car starts shaking, more like the engine shake as the vibration is well felt in the front.

1. I have changed engine mounts so definitely not this

2. I have had different mechs inspect ball joints and tie rods which isn't upto 6 months i changed all and all mech said no issues on that.

3. I have been on Google to look for people with similar experience and they all stated the full front shaft is the problem which me too i'm beginning to suspect because even when i'm coming down a slope without throttling the engine once it hits 110km/hr, the car vibrates. All this has been try with and without Ac on though even my Ac does not put any noticeable load ob my car engine as it's a new engine.

Car : Honda civic 2007

So please what could be the issue. I anticipate your response. Thank you and happy Xmas.

The OP climb the fence too early jooor.

Haba, after 2 months on Uber. Did he recoup his investment in One month ni.

I remembered when I want to start, I have my exit strategy in place.

There is a target, projection, estimate and assumed figures but none of it includes exiting after 2 months although I didn't buy a car for the sole purpose of doing Uber business, I bought the car for personal use and till the end of our agreement, our agreed rental didn't change from 35k a week.

Each investor here, I believe had an exit plan from the beginning, if you don't have any, it is not too late to have one now.

As for people collecting 20-25k per week for rental and people arguing with then not to collect it, well in business we all have different objective.

Some people want to be the "Most Profitable" some want to be the "Biggest in Asset Base" and some just want to be a "Going Concern".

All 3 objectives have different approach.

Allow people who want to be the most profitable enjoy their exploits, let people who want the biggest assets base build their assets and leave people that just want to be a going concern enjoy their peace.

The business is still profitable, price of car hasn't reduce, cost of repairs isn't constant and fees for preventive maintenance isn't fixed so each investor should pursue his/her objective with passion.

If a driver doesn't want a dead car, you should be ready to pay premium. You can't pay for Economy seat and expect to fly 'First Class'.

Merry Christmas to Everyone.

Compliment of the Season.

This is deep

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.

That's why we are where where where
