15 and 19 ...tinubu begged us that he will do everything for us to be president...if we can pity him to be the next president... we see him as a useful idiot

Emilokan...? U must be daft... why do you think we pair him with a true Muslim? Is it tinubu that will soon give way...you southerners are mugu o

I never relax much I would’ve come to write my japa story but definitely I’m coming soon

Congratulation

kanuisagoat:
Lol

Hope you know the cars will not fly into Nigeria.

Expect to pay $968 in auction charges, $350 to port, $1200 shipping to Nigeria.

By the time the one that costs $6725 lands in Nigeria, you would have spent a total of N5.6m naira. Now add the cost of clearing which should hover around 1.5-2m, add cost of repairs and you're getting close to 8m already.

Dealer never even add profit

you sound like a Car dealer . Good analysis

kanuisagoat:
Be blaming the dealers you hear. When they are clearing some of those venzas for 2.8-3m.

Do you know Toyota Venza is one of the most expensive cars to buy in auction? Even more expensive than a lexus of the same year

You don't believe me? Go to en.bidfax.info and check how much they are sold. You can compare the prices with Camry and Lexus of the same year.

I have attached some of the prices for you. Na who don chop belle full dey buy Venza especially if its toks

The pictures of venza you posted here, prices are still reasonable, like 3.5 million converted to naira. I think clearing is the issue. Though I was told that prices of cars in America has gone up.

Felicity001:
Then look at Mercedes Benz GLK or ML or Lexus... You can contact me for a good deal

Nice one, I never thought of Benz. I want to sell the Camry and add more money, when time comes I will let you know

northbird:
Avoid going to VIO prone areas. You can't reason with those guys.

. VIO no get mercy, especially to Uber drivers, dem no dey hear Oga abeg. Very wicked and Brutal people. Best is to avoid them like you said.

Ojodu Berger; I dey dodge that place during working days. Them plenty there, nah their headquarter be that.

Fresh85:
My brother, na govt you go hold on car prices spiking. The duty on vehicle is rising. That was the reason for the strike at the ports earlier, it was like a 300% price increase then. It was put on hold but news/rumour has it will be in effect soon. So car dealers are updating prices to the effect. Basically they are anticipating the rise for both dollar and duty against restocking for new cars.

This Government wan finish Nigerians patapata !

Aiye Buhari o ni da

Felicity001:
Reason I said they're in for business nevertheless, our greed as Nigerians is too much and again government is just there to steel from our hard earned money after double taxations.



Baba watin you won use venza do at this time na why not upgrade small small, no dey do like that o from Corolla to venza straight
Baba don vex o

I am tired of Saloon cars, I don drive 4 different saloon cars, nah jeep I wan drive now, mini SUV I don't mind. Not for Uber business O !. Personal ride

Felicity001:
So let me share my experience on car search
recebtly.

For the past 3weeks now I've been in search for a Uber car for a client, the budget is low, say below 1m naira.

These are my observations:

1. 95% Nigeria used cars are write-off. Thermostat bypassed, electrical components destroyed, no 100% 1st body the list continues.

2. Dealers are not smiling at all they're seriously out for business... A good one to say so for you to get a good deal from direct seller you've to be smart and faster than Usain Bolt.

This is what happens, take for instance I decide to sell my car I then post it on SM with the price, direct sellers just want to sell asap at their own market value so most of them are selling cheap. So they state a cheap price these dealers guys will call and tell them they're coming to pay right away, some of them have the eagles eye so from just a glance from the pictures they know what is in the car they can even transfer to the seller then send their boys to go pick up the car without any further inspection. Most of the time they are lucky. They've a hand full of mechanics and rewire who do cheap and bad jobs for them so they do minor fixing and maybe painting then resale.

Some of them contact owners to convince them to sell, they put these cars at their stands with high price and this car can be there for months without no one coming to buy them because of the high price they've placed in it.

Imagine, I saw one 07/08 civic that has been parked probably over 6months, a manual drive and the baba was telling me 2.2m... a naija used car I just dusted my hands without saying a word to him and left. So annoying

This are some of the reasons we don't see good deals and those of us that gives dealer to sell don't get buyers for months.

3. The best deal one can have is from direct seller. Like from the picture within, 08 Elantra, nothing to fix apart from just change the Oil sensor finish. Car entered 9ja, Mar, 2020 and owner bought it last year, and paper expired April 5th last month. Sweet deal @1.5m last.

PS: can't seems to find the pictures.

4. To get a good car for Uber one needs to have;
1-1.5m for Honda Civics
1.5-2m for Corolla
1.3-1.7m for Elantra
1-1.6m for Kia/Mazda

Then you've to have a good network and patience as well because good deals takes time to come by and once you get one be fast about it else some.vultures will get there b4 you.

5. Going with mechanic is good but only go after you've first, seen and are satisfied with what you've seen then he can come in the next day to do his job but most of the time... Hmm... Let me leave it at that

I will stop here, these search cost me time and money but I'm dishing it out freely here but anybody that needs my services to help search for a car should know that it won't come for free because it requires a lot of time and money to move around.

Yesterday Monday I left my house 8am and got back home past 7pm yet na only one good car I see which is above client budget. Imagine if I'd used that time to hustle I know what I would get.

The kind greed wey don enter Car dealers head, I can't just explain, dem wan hammer by all means. Car Prices are killing nowadays. I dey plan to change my Toyota Camry to Venza, Omo like play play Venza full option nah 9m - 10m I dey see. Nigeria don cast O ! Ordinary Venza for 10m. This country is finished

Congrats bro. Nice one. I will advice you to set a short term goals on the e-taxi business you just ventured into, at most 5 years goal. Make money and save more money and diversify into other businesses.


When Uber business challenges sets in you would have made enough to start another phase of your life

kayo8080:
Hmm...Same thing my friend that does it said. He got his 2005 Camry for like 2.5 million, and he is still paying the debt on the car...and he has had to do some work on the car sef. So, he was telling me, if I can get a sound Nigerian used car for 1.5 million, it will make more economical sense than spending 2.5-2.7 million on a car for the business.

Yea. He told you the plain truth.

There are alot of challenges in this business, 2.5 million and above might take you along time to recoup your investment, Talkless of profit.

Flappy222:
Most welcome.
You can try out jiji as well.

He should be very careful on jiji, there are alot of scammers there.

kayo8080:
Hey guys, I want to go into the Bolt/Uber business, but all the Corollas and Camrys I am seeing are 2.5-3 million. I don't have that much. I have 1.5 million. Is there a car I can get for that price (good Nigerian used) that can be used for Bolt?

Thanks in advance.

how I wish you can get a sound Car at ₦1.5 million, because investing anything above that amount is not so good for the business.

ReadaDream:
Na 1 month them give me today. Last week Tuesday they sent a message that my account has been blocked for 7 days but I was still able to go online until this morning.

Na indriver I use do soft work today.

The rate of cancellation and bad network on Bolt this surging period. Drivers score and acceptance rate will nosedive. inDriver should get already, cos they are gonna have mass influx of more drivers on their platform after Bolt have finished blocking drivers

peeps4u:
You don Hit the road again?

Thought you said you no dey do again and go resign from the job to gold trading business

. Multiple streams of income.
2-4 trips a day am fine and I have time for my other businesses

ReadaDream:
Na them Sabi. I kind of enjoy the freedom Indriver gives.

No completion rate
No acceptance rate
No driver score.

Just bid for a ride you are comfortable with. Unlike Bolt that throws anything at you and expect you to take it.e.g Driving out at 430am this morning, I went online on Bolt, the first ride that came was heading to AJANGBADI Market.... On a Monday morning! What business do I have there

I don uninstall the app till further notice.

. I can't stop laughing. Ajangbadi

Viking07:
Hats off to those who have been in this hustle for years, running into 10,000+ rides. After 3 months with a little over 600 completed rides I don dey lose interest. Me that drive till I can count 10,000 cash in my pocket, now even at 5000 I don lose morale dey go house. The excitement is not there again.

The comment below captures my situation perfectly.

5 years in the game, I still dey run am like Mo Salah.

Youngin006:
Hello guys. Please there’s a guy here that did bolt driving last year. He was learning tech by the side when he was in Nigeria. I think data analysis. Please what’s his nairaland name or if anyone can tag his post on this platform I’ll be glad. Thank you in advance guys.
The guy don jand here. He just drop his post as motivation here

There's nothing you'll tell me about a V6 vehicle that I don't know. I have used a v6 vehicle all my life bar the short period on bolt. I even have a vehicle with a 3.7l V6 on the sea coming into the country. The fuel consumption is usually over exaggerated.

Check the image attached to this post, it was taken from a vehicle with a 3.2L V6 engine and has a premium fuel requirement

Average of 15MPG over 176 miles. Fuel used is 176/15 which is 11.73 gallons or 44 litres. Cost of 44 litres is N7,200

My Corolla would do 21MPG over the same distance. Fuel used is 8.38 gallons or 31 litres. Cost of 31 litres is N5,234

Difference in cost of fuel between Almighty Corolla and a V6 vehicle is N2000 naira for every 176 miles/281kms covered. This is telling us that the maximum difference in cost of fuel between someone that uses a Corolla and another that uses a V6 vehicle in a day is N2000 naira.

Is N2000 naira extra cost of fuel the reason he won't make profit? What exactly is your point?

People use V6 Camry for Bolt and they obviously make profit. The Camry and Lexus ES350 share the same mechanical parts. Cost of maintenance and cost of fuelling is more or less the same.

Be like na the name Lexus dey confuse you. Like I said, if the guy is driving his own vehicle, it's a good enough tool for the job and he will make money. Stop discouraging him.

CORRUPTION AND Karma is what affected Eagles world cup qualification.

Rohr wasn't treated fairly by NFF, his performance wasn't that bad. Though Eagles really didn't play fantastic football under rohr, but we were getting good results both home and away.

He qualified us for Angola 2019 Nations cup, we won bronze medal at the tournament.

He qualified us for Russia World cup 2019

He qualified us for Nations cup Gabon 2022. We didn't get to Quarter final under Eguavoen

He qualified us for world cup playoffs stages for Qatar 2022. Which Eguavoen messed up.

He was owed a year salary and wages before he was sacked without due process.


When I heard that Gernot Rohr has been sacked, Eguavoen appointed the new coach of super Eagle, that very moment I knew we won't do well at the Nation cup and also will not qualify for the Word cup.

I said it on so many sports blog before it all happened.
