people fighting for union are either silly or definitely are not the owners of their cars,, imagine after spending ur hard earned millions to purchase a car, some idiots will now want to tell you wen to work and when not to, for their own selfish reasons ..
Second thing is tolls, unions in Lagos seems they can't survive without collecting tolls, how LL u feel when agbero start collecting tolls from every ehailing driver all in d name of union and security?

I was at frsc office yesterday waiting to collect some stuff nd I was having a gist with a woman der, nd she was like since I'm into ehailing dat I should plz get her some trusted drivers 4 her and a college and I'll have to stand 4 Dem nd run all procedures 4 Dem, I just laughed nd stylishly declined.
People are buying cars like pure water all in d name of ehailing.
Anywhere I go people ll be like bro I want buy car for Uber, wetin be d procedure.

My point is hundreds of cars join Uber on a daily basis, where as the riders are not increasing, Uber/taxify ll hv no choice but to reduce the fares in order to woo more riders in..
If ehailing is not paying as you wanted plz drop ur rental car and look for other business to do Biko

Joshua iginla really saw hell in the hand of his ex wife. Now I know why he always appeared and sounded like some one in lamentation when ever he is administering in the church. He sounds like someone crying deep within all the time. Pity men that marry bad wifes they are dying while appearing strong to the public.

I wish we all come together and firm a union...

I'm not the type dat reason one way, I play around with thoughts till situation gives the perfect view, taxify or uber are not wicked, they have a data base they work on, so once supply is more than demand they reduce price, at the end who bears the burnt? For them, more cars more money as long as demand is reasonable enough (for every drivers cry of no trip, another drivers r sharing the few once and they commission is still at moderation). So reduction favours them as long as they don't reduce their %, can't u see uber is fast taking the space of byke wit 350 trips, where rider we tell u she's going to Akerele from Adeniran Ogunsanya (I was like, seriously? )

Either metaphor or not, the chances of reducing the price is high, right now they r drivers parked somewhere checking dia app often, staring @ 4 trips 2700 since morning, dis can make one appreciate danfo drivers/ keke rider more... There is really nothing uber/taxify can do, cos if with this price, ppl still can't afford the service satisfactory, little traffic, rider starts feeling unease, the worst scenario if things don't pick up in the next four months, they will b decline in driver - partner business, as owners will b force to drive or join the fence gang.

I'm sure they've thought of that

i used to think i Was The only one in this dilemma. Though you'll never See Me complain or biitch on the experience of this hustle, but bro I've seen things.
I've blown all the way from ojuelegba to Cele to pick a rider to ago palace way, on a treacherous road, for #400 . But then they're beautiful days too that I was tipped #15k for a #2000 trip, by a very young rider . I closed early on Sunday after hitting #19k within 8hrs . Just went to hangout with a friend I've not seen in a long time.
The hustle comes with it's highs and lows, but the complaints won't change anything. The perks comes with the territory. Just hold the positive thoughts, and pray feverently for a breakout or breathrough,or whichever comes first. God bless and keep everyone. May the hustle not be in vain

No be Obasanjo appointed him and released the funds for Abuja development?

I drive once in a while but I intend to drive for some months now to sustain my immediate family while I wait for my other investment to yield. So I drove on Sunday, after getting a "long" trip (Agege to Agungi) for 3500 including toll and taxify fee, I got about four short trips on uber all averaging 350naira per trip.

After three hours in lekki, I had less than 1500 net. That is ridiculous. I almost started thinking low of myself. Nobody should get less than 500naira an hour for any job. I know some here will talk about me feeling entitled and that drivers earn above minimum wage. Hell yeah I should feel entitled if I am putting forward my car and time to partner with uber/taxify. I should earn way more than minimum wage because I'm investing my time and property(car).

This pay should never be okay for anyone, driver or partner. Fine, we have to grind and make ends meet but we can also complain or protest for a better take home while we manage what we get currently. I'm sick of people attacking partners when they complain about uber/taxify unrealistic fares. These companies have succeeded in messing with the heads of some of us.
Because I complain bitterly about the fares doesn't mean I will stop driving immediately, but we should never be okay with this slavery whether we're doing it short term or long term.

Ah swear down... Just smile at d post, he forgot to add 5 - 10 mins distance to cover for those 20 trips

nitigriti:
Its metaphorical, man. Just like friends will jest that so and so can drink one tank of beer.
Metaphor. Metaphor.

Are (we) ehailing drivers English-Challenged?
(I used "we" ooo).

Gentlelife50:
So for ur mind u can do 20 trips of #350 with 3k fuel?
Why not make it 100 trips?
U go like suffer well well the way I dey see you.
20 trips kee u there, nonsense.

Nyen nyen nyen

Stealth100:
Let's see how far those 350naira uber trips will go in fixing this. Sorry bro

sonature1:
This must be condemned by every rational Nigerian.

Hero Square has become one of regularly visited tourist sites in Imo State.

If the perpetrators are nabbed, they should be prosecuted for unprovoked destruction of public property.

It's okay to hate Rochas, but it's stupid to destroy the projects he built with Imo money

1k fuel everyday to Gberige, Ikorodu, Ota or whereever that is does not sound smart to me. Is it not better to use that 300,000 to get a self contain at Ifako or Ogba? At Gazzuzz side, one can get a self contain for 200k. At College road, one can get a room and parlour for 300,000.

Why I said its not smart is because if you times 1,000 by 365 in a year.... thats 366,000. Not to talk of the risk of travelling that side at night, increasin the mileage of the car more and finally.... Heavy traffic! Quality of life is important in this job. Most of you already stayed in traffic all through the day. Why stay in more traffic at night? This job is no longer as it used to be. Am dashing out or selling of my car to any close friend (Don't even have) or Family (Most likely). Let me do better things with my life.
