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.

sunnymighty:
Will prefer we chat via WhatsApp not calls.

You know what's funny?
No be you I wan send that message to.

Much respect, sir. 😁

sunnymighty:
I just responded with my digits. Many thanks bro and blessings be!

Much respect, boss.

sunnymighty:
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.
