Hi guys, I’m so broke at the moment.
I have 2004 Toyota Corolla, all papers intact, based in delta, I’ve only visited lagos once.

Is it worth it to venture into this business?
As a newbie how much can I be earning daily? And what possible challenges I will face, things to avoid in Lagos, where o avoid, pls I need advice

Hmmmm.
God no go shame us.
You might find if very difficult to hustle in Lagos, being that you have only visited once.
But fear not, you go blend in.
Whenever you decide to migrate to Lagos for the hustle, please go straight to the Island.
Avoid mainland completely.
But do you have someone here in Lagos that's ready to accommodate you?
because you no fit migrate to a new land without accommodation.
With your Corolla, 20k fuel should gross you like 80k or a bit above, according to Corolla users.


Much respect, baba.

Vela01:
Lol, you no wan work for them at all, by now, bolt for don give you lifetime ban😃😃

Sometimes I dey pick all those rides to boost my acceptance rate. With the road construction going on lekki road, I think Uber and Bolt are the best. I dey always go from Gold to Platinum on Uber, I never see this kind 0% acceptance rate before😃 😃😃. You no even send their papa

Smiles.
I use Uber sparingly as a support, indrive is my main grind. I think my acceptance rate will remain zero because of that. Smiles.


Much respect, boss.

@Vela01

So, is it because my acceptance rate is zero, na why Uber removed me from the platforms wey I suppose dey make 1 million in a week?

Make dem no worry nah, make I keep am on zero like that since I no fit dey take those 2k-3k-4k net trips of 15-25 mins pick up wey dem dey throw at me.


Much respect, sir.

Vela01:
No go dey follow mouth for this thread o.

Isiri:
Can I use the Hyundai Azera 2008 v 6 , 3.3l for uber in Lagos.

No, you can't.
You won't even break even.


Much respect, sir.

ReadaDream:
Bolt abeg now.. I've declined this nonsense 2ce

You never see anything.
Anything that will reduce your acceptance rate, bolt is ready for you today-today.


Much respect, boss.

capetownboyz:
Opay likely …..

You better use the conventional bank details for the linking stuff.


Much respect, sir.

capetownboyz:

Which bank you wan use to link your Uber account?


Much respect, boss.

SHOOPSYN:
And Ikorodu. Ikorodu ladies must have really missed you ...

Make dem go miss their papa. 😁
Na bolt pack the highest number of ikorodu people.
E remain small make I become Baale of ikorodu those times - omoh, Bolt used me for ikorodu no be small.
To see ikorodu trip on Uber na by connection - very rare.


Much respect, baba.

capetownboyz:
I entered road today and earned 41k bought fuel for 16,000..my issue here is how do I settle Uber from my account or how does it work ..I’m seeing connect my account to be paid but I already received payment offline ..How do I make payments or how does it work , pls enlighten me guys .


Today was quite stresful being my first time , quite an experience lol .. I learnt my lesson from Taking a trip to Ajah ..

@the bold of your last statement - this is exactly what I like to read from new drivers.
You need the on-field experience, cos that's what will definitely build you up.
Not the questions upon questions wey I dey see from aspiratants.
Though, the question stuff is necessary, but too much question is not what is required, as long as you sabi drive, you'll learn the hustle on field.

Now, to your payment issue - if you had already linked your bank account with your Uber profile, wait till tomorrow and work again, the app will bring the option for you to make their payment.

I just hope you already have linked your bank account with the app.

Lastly, what do you mean by "... you already received payment offline" in the first bold statement?



Much respect, boss.

@JoaoPedro

Na your last reply i like...


Much respect, baba.

Biodun1929:
LMAO! So true. I skip them with the quickness. And some riders going that way even the audacity to be putting low price...200km/h trips. Crazy.

Some riders would be glad to have a free ride if opportunity permits.


Much respect, sir.

SHOOPSYN:
Boss, learn to buy fuel right, get fuel only at confirmed stations (mrs ahmodu, Mobil Agidingbi, Total Gbagada etc.
Avoid these locations,
Alakija,
Amuwo Odofin
Orile Iganmu,
Ojo
Mile2/Apapa
Amukoko,
Bagadry
Oko Agbon
Igbo Elerin
Okokomaiko
Ifelodun Ajeromi
Shigbiri
Oko afo etc.
For this period, stay with bolt and Uber, no go drag ride with Glithronix and co oo, you won't get any trip.

You see those locations you mentioned ehn, looks like a compilation of horror movies.
During my early days on bolt, I shuttled Amuwo/Ago palace/Festac/Mile2/Apapa/Iyana Iba wella.
Those places are horrifying.
I still have the picture of those areas in my head.
Make no newbie try those areas ooh, not even now wey be say road sanity in Lagos don disappear. Everybody just dèy do anyhow now.

Btw, at the bold.....

capetownboyz:
Hello I’m hitting the road soon as a Uber driver as a means to offset one’s current bill and economic recession..I will be driving from Ikeja .. pls if you got any advice for me to aid my confidence in this job pls do share ..have read through the group chats for a while now and I’m quite encouraged by you guys resilience in this business ..I pray the road will be good with me cause normally I get tired easily driving on Lagos road and I’m not too conversant with the Lagos road except heading to few high brow area but I guess google map will be my partner for a while until I get used to this roads ..I hope this job is exciting and most especially encouraging financially, I guess I will find out by myself..

Not the best period, though.

But for a start, do weekends only (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for now.

Sample those days for like three weeks and once you feel you're blending and your strength and confidence improved , you can increase your working days, but for now, only weekend is advisable.

Reason is because, prices on all the apps (Uber, Indrive, bolt) are very poor at the moment - dry season for e-hailing.

Lastly, do not go beyond lekki phase 1.



Much respect, boss.

This stray bullet hit my occiput.
E reamin small make I dey dance to the gbedu. 😁

Sabadon:
see the Freemason insignia on the man in front

Whether they free Mason or not, make dem just free the man, abeg.

The only consideration for one-way is granted to Ambulance 🚑 and that one self must be on emergency duties.
Any other vehicle, no matter who u be, must not drive against the traffic.
But those arrogant lots whom we already know no send the law, we dey see dem almost daily as dem dey take one-way routes.

Azertise:
Thank you Chief, I'd keep this in mind for next time. Though that 9k is it my money? Or I will still pay Uber commission from inside?

The 9k+ is your net (your money).


Much respect, boss.

Kaymax2222:
make I follow you laugh 😂😂😂😂😂

As in... No be small thing.



Much respect, sir.

I hope Shatta Bandle no go step in.
Cos it might get messier if he does.

CyynthiaKiss:
; I hope this man allows Tinubu to enjoy his term in peace

I don't know how many people understand this comment and probably also find it funny.
Heart attack and HBP won't let Tinubu have peace of mind.
The guilt of "I might be next...."

Vela01:
Many people didn't just notice.
Indrive have been charging 12.3% since December.
Una no just notice because December na ocean of surge😂😂

On the contrary.
It was about 10.3% till December.


Much respect, boss.

sunnymighty:
Check your mail bro. I just dropped a message for you

I've replied.

Much respect, sir.

Vela01:
Does it mean indrive's new charge is now 12.3%?

If that's the case, they're still fair.

Yeah, somehow still fair.
But the root of the push in their commission is the Nigerian government which many people won't appreciate.
It's still fair - it's still fair, na so e go dey climb up small small till it gets to 20%.
If Nigerian government no come up with their yéyé tax, indrive will still keep their commission below 11%.
The implication of the recent increase is that they will still push it up more. It's not even about the 12.3%, cos it's not really much and "indrive may still not increase their base fare with significant %".
Na my issue gangan be that.


Much respect, boss.

Nairamotive:
Not a good idea

Tell us more. Will like to know why.

Much respect, sir?

Ghost buster.
But true-true, that person's comment no look like he's new here.

Dabadwela:
And we go still pay income tax join

Make dem just kee me

Make dem kuku keel us.


Much respect, sir.

Vela01:
Does it mean indrive's new charge is now 12.3%?

If that's the case, they're still fair.

Commission + vat = over 20%


Much respect, boss.
