Compliment of the season bro. I just Dm'd you now. Check your mail.

Same here, boss.
Replied.


Much respect, sir.

May this new year bring to us all the blessings that come with it.
I greet all the hustlers in the house. 😊 🫂



Much respect, bosses.

So, from January, 2026, indrive is increasing the commission and accusing it is due to tax by the Nigerian government.
Well, I no get issue with that as long as they're going to increase their base fare by 60%.
Otherwise, I will peacefully switch to Uber as the main cruise (thanks to baba Vela) and maybe using indrive as side support.
No loyalty in the hustle.
I no get strength for wahala, abeg.


Much respect, bosses.

@reverendfather
That's a long read (phew!).
What an adventure.
You have had a taste of what drivers see on daily basis.
Lagos experience is x3 of what you experienced in the hustle in your Benin city.
I must commend you for your earnings so far as a test-runner.
That means, if na Lagos you run am, you're fit to make more than x2 net with the same expenses.
Now, I read where you dey think of dumping ur salary work for e-hailing.
First, note that this is peak period nationwide. So, don't let it push you 'YET'.
Before you can decide on switching to e-hailing fully, wait till February next year, then run the hustle and see if you're truly ready to take that bold step. Don't use this December to judge the hustle, it's not new to us.
Myself as a case study, yeah, I dumped my salary work for e-hailing with my full chest, cos my friends who are not even as agile as I am dey show workings doing bolt/Uber full-time.
With e-hailing, wetin I don achieve, my salary work no fit do half of it till today.
But, come back to Lagos first and run the hustle when the peak is over, na there you go know if you fit run am.
I no know how much your salary is, but e sure me say e no plenty, as you don dey think of dumping it since e-hailing don serve you over 300k within a short period already.
Indrive is reigning in Lagos, might not be same over there because of fare prices, that's why you no dey see ride there.



Much respect, boss.

SHOOPSYN:
You can not imagine the kind of ridiculous fare some drivers are picking. Someone must have picked the ride the guy is talking about. Especially the 9-5 and side gigs geng. They just want to cover for fuel. Unfortunately, some indrive drivers are so unbelievable, out of frustration, they just want to move about(hard work), driving around like headless chickens. My advice is, they should download uber/Bolt rider app and sometimes check the ridiculous orders they've been picking this period. You run away from 25% doesn't mean you should give indrive riders all the 15%. Indrive is very interesting as is base on dynamic market.

Na true you talk.
Some have actually been doing that for a long time.
Cos something must be giving those week-head riders the hope that some driver somewhere will definitely pick their ride.
Make dem continue.


Much respect, sir.

Jeoman:
you know this matter bro, Indrive dey play with passengers mind. Them too Sabi abeg

They know the right time to knack passengers billing, and when to lower prices make e be like say the app cheap

Sense too dey your head.

Jamie90:
Where bolt is charging 26k is where indrive customer is putting 10,500.

Indrive have a lot of improvements to do.

Some people still dey judge these apps based on one trip?
You never see where indrive price on a particular trip beats both Uber and Bolt together?
Make we come conclude say indrive is better than Bolt and Uber based on that? NO!

Definitely, no experienced indrive DRIVER go pick that 10.5k trip cos they all know the real worth of such trip.
Las las, na the rider go tire and switch to Uber or Bolt when no driver is picking the ride.

You dey see prices on indrive both in the afternoon and evening/night time?

Indrive na real gamer (this period). ✅


Much respect, boss.

@PuZZyNegro
I thought everybody has come to agreement that all drivers MUST always confirm destination area to their riders before starting the trip and moving an inch from the PU point.
Did you forget to confirm from her at the PU point ni?
The antibiotics dey very important ✅ , but that's too early decision.


Much respect, sir.

Kumuyiii:
Leave am, i don stop to dey follow anyone argue for here... People wey just start d work go dey misyarn, instead make dem ask for way.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Lolz... Una don dey kolo for their thread.

Much respect, sir.

Biodun1929:
That slamming of boot is the most annoying part with some passengers..like, this is not a freaking Danfo.

As in... It can be annoying.


Much respect, sir.

Vela01:
You for no reply this thread, they'll come out for you saying you're lazy.

I use to say, it's possible to net 100k in a day, but not always. But make we no start the topic again.

My advise for people, don't follow mouth o this thread, if not, you go drive yourself enter. 3mb water.

If na 30k/40k you dey net comfortably per day, dey your dey dey grind o
Most of the people making mouth of higher net no even get car wey them dey drive.

Any Job you're doing where you're comfortably saving 20k per day, 10k going to family. Every weekend na Christmas for my house. Wetin I dey find?

God bless ur hustle.

Merry Christmas and happy new year in advance.

Seen already. You were right.


Much respect, boss.

Jeoman:
the fact be say I don net 300k this month already, despite how very selective I am, I dey reject trips like water. But what to do, na side hustle, but e dey pay bills. But I know say next week I go net another 300k

I carry one Ehailing guy wife last week, she tell me say her husband don use this hustle buy 3 cars. Omo!! Guys dey para o
She say na 100k her husband dey net daily, Omo naso shame catch me

I don't believe that woman.
100k net daily for where?
On Sunday wey I merged Uber and indrive to work, my net was 108k after commission and fuel money, and I quickly retire home like around 9pm.
The work wey I do on that Sunday, I no fit repeat am daily, upon say we dey surge period oh.
Except the said man is using Lagride, cos na that one go give person x2 of whatever bolt/Uber is giving.
But with bolt/Uber/indrive, nobody fit repeat 100k net daily consistently.
But it is well sha.


Much respect, sir.

ksmart027:
This man self he don tey oo. Do give away baba

That oga na vio-lense pro MAX.



Much respect, boss.

Shimmaa:
Is uber price better compared to bolt?

They're in the same league when it comes to the prices.


Much respect, boss.

BAZ001:
No naah
C’mon bro no dey fall hand , 500k is pearl1910 weekend net week in week out.
From December na millions.
But why una no set target this year
Wetin come be the motivation for newbies to work hard this December ?

Chaii dis thread don dry ooh… na here I dey get motivation and cruise…
Tinubu regime don affect this thread too

That we are not posting it or talking about it doesn't mean it's not happening, the real money makers dey on coded level.
We are in the era of NO LOUD AM. 🤫
Abi you skip that part on the thread?
Abeg leave me alone oooh. 500k is my net for this December. 🤫
Any newbie wey need some heads up go throw it to the thread and him go get responses and motivation.
Abi you be newbie?

'No Louding'. 🤫



Much respect, sir.

BAZ001:
Abeg what’s the Target for this December?
5 million Or 10 million
I just remember good old days sorry poverty days of setting targets and burst into laugh.

Geez!
Omoh, see as you burst out like a rocket.
Where you go hide since?
You just left us all alone with our fates.
500k net is okay for me in this December, as a lazy driver.


Much respect, legend.

Jeoman:
Please is it the job of the driver to load and offload passangers luggage in the boot?

There's no harm in assisting.
You have no business bringing loads from their apartment or taking them inside their apartment.
Once they bring the luggages to your car, you can take it up and arrange them in your car carefully.
If you leave them to do that and they scratch your car and finally slam your booth, you no go like am.


Much respect, boss.

Vela01:
Lol, the guy say "Your Uber"😂..
Someone even said I'm Uber Agent😂😂😂..I dey Shiloh since last week, I just started work back today, "My Uber" still remain the same🤪🤪

I greet all the Indrive Ambassadors on this platform👐👐

Smiles.
@the italic - Just as they were holding Pearl's blokos for being a bolt agent (allegedly). 😁

@the bold - abi nah. Since na you lure me.


Much respect, boss.

Vela01:
There are places Micra won't get to.
Although the business and trip is slow in IB, but people still dey run am.

I run your Uber on Sunday 🔥... Hmmmm.
Make I still dey observe sha, cos all the apps are on stew spree in this period.
But, I must confess, it made my work a lot easier.
My purpose of downloading it na to upscale my income for this month and it surely do am.
Assuming the random long PUs no dey ni, omohhh.


Much respect, boss.

ksmart027:
Always allow the ride to ring out, don't cancel often.

A rider can set password on their app both on Uber and bolt, though it's optional. And you will need to input the password before you can start the ride.

The rating is the same as all platforms, na wetin rider rate you go show. Much respect baba.

Noted, sir.

Appreciate.

Uber users, I have three questions;

1) When an incoming order pops up, do you only need to let it ring out, or you can as well cancel it and hope that doesn't affect rating?

2) I got a ride and when I arrived at the PU point, until the rider gave me a password before I could start the ride. That one surprised me. Does Uber give riders the chance to set password when they book a ride?

3) What and what affects rating on Uber?


Much respect, bosses.

tobby98:
You have any idea of my question up there? Much respect boss

No, sir.
Maybe you should visit their office when you're chanced, cos their system might not recognize the stamp of extension since that is not the original date on your DL that you uploaded from the beginning.

Djdamian:
He is doing fine. We spoke some days ago

Why him come deactivate him account?
That man is legendary here nahhh.


Much respect, boss.

TUBLEZ:
i dey always vex to off the app, they keep sending you same request u hv refused to pick , if I do one trip on Uber I don already ignore like 45 requests 😆 shey na that one person go dey do , and I don’t get how they calculate their commission, imagine me getting 6900 on a 10300 trip

At the bold -
Maybe make uncle Vela01 come share with us the secret on Uber.
Abeg dem dey collect over 30% commission
Cc; Vela01


Much respect, boss.

Kaymax2222:
I won't lie to you, I have the same problem, I find it hard to use Uber plus I don't find there prices attractive enough for this December too

Makes no sense at all.
Can't they fix the radius stuff ni?
Imagine if one gets penalized for ignoring incoming trips by letting them ring out...
Yeah, the prices also.
I downloaded the app as people dey hail am say it's more profitable, but with what I saw on the app this last Sunday, indrive still make sense pass them.


Much respect, sir.

Vela01:
All these trips you posted are not your trips at all, I use Uber full time, I do not accept trips with pickup distance about 2km.

1.9km is the standard for me.




Abeg, #Shiloh starts tomorrow, make una no work forget to join service o.
God bless our hustle in Jesus Name, Amen.

So, how long am I going to wait before I get MY OWN TRIP on Uber?
I even later went online in the night to see if Uber head go don correct, still the same thing...
Unlike you, me I no think I fit survive on Uber alone, ahhhh.
I no even trust the app self .
Well, maybe na because I'm very used to indrive sha.
I go give it a shot again next Sunday.



Much respect, sir.

Vela01:
Within highland work sweet pass anything if you don know your way.

Between 6am-11, I don do 13 short 2k trips, park motor, till 3/4 when rushing hour go come, then I can do long trips to complete my 15 trips to get Uber 42k bonus on 15 trips😂

But to dey hide from VIO, Road safety, sometimes,some police go delay person unnecessarily. Na why I said goodbye to Mainland Uber hustle oo

Once again, una dey try.
3 ghosa for you (Gbosa! Gbosa!! Gbosaaaa!)

VIO/FRSC/POLICE is your friend oooh.


Much respect, sir.

Btw, how drivers dey survive on Uber?
I say make I test run am yesterday, I no fit accept a single trip.
If I am not mistaken, I ignored over 15 trips yesterday alone.
Omoh, I just closed am and switched to my indrive jéjé.
Abeg, shey na so una dey accept out-of-radius trips
I don't think I can survive with Uber, make I stick to my indrive jéjé, abeg.

Vela01:
You na boss na.

On Monday, by 5am, I don pass 3mb start work on the highland only.

Boss ké? Dey whine. 🤪
@the bold - una dey try.
And, how una dey manage do trips within Island/mainland only?
Shuttling within those areas no be my spec at all.
If I dey Island like this, my next target is always mainland - anything wey go sha carry me cross 3mb. If I dey mainland too, my next target is always Island. Except on rare cases where the fare is higher.


Much respect, boss.

Vela01:
Calculations matters. I passed there 4am and not leaving the highland until Wednesday.

For this Lagos, Mondays are always hectic, no matter the calculation.
I no fit dey calculate so teyyy, make I come dey start driving as early as 6am, on top wetin nah? time wey sleep still dey sweet my belle.
Once day break like this, gbam, traffic wahala don start for Lagos.
I no sabi calculate for Mondays, abeg.


Much respect, boss.
