On what grounds are you judging the young man?

Is it because of his other interests he has as shown on his previous nairaland posts or you people have previous history?

I'm curious
Personally I think its near impossible for a driver to pick up and return car every day...

My little experience while driving shows that it will be difficult if not near impossible to daily return the car..the driver could be on a trip on the island or somewhere else yet expected to return the car to the mainland or vice versa...His trips could be localised around that area or other areas and could even move him further from the drop off point...plus the logistics with dropping off and picking up daily wont make the arrangement feasible

If an investor wants to do this business, please let him/her do it whole heartedly. Allow the driver to work at least schedule inspection biweekly or whatever suits you...There will mos def be stories that touch with daily drop off arrangements... active drivers on the thread will answer better but these are my thoughts and i might be wrong..

My good brother, stroke and other ailgment comes even by sitting on your couch and eating pop corn..risk factors of stroke are HBP, smoking tobacco, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity...

All jobs have their side effects. People that work in the oil rigs are exposed to hydrocarbon but are paid in hard currencies. Make dem no work again? Army, Police dem fit catch bullet before them reach 40 sef so make dem no police again?...

All drugs that you take sef have side effects even common drugs to cure headache...That is life..Im not saying drive 25 hours but im saying hard work aint bad and noone should knock anyone willing to push demselves because we dont all have the same priorities and we dont all pay the same bills..Everybody has their limits...find yours and execute thoroughly....

The way we judge and condemn people on this thread is really disheartening...brother please lets tolerate and engage ourselves better so we can understand where each person is coming from.

Calling him names wont answer the question nor point him in the right direction. That he doesn't do things the way you assume best does not make him unintelligent nor a "mumu".

Don'tmind all these ones forming James bond and misleading people. Nothing is as it seems. There are expenses to be made, bills to be paid. I guess they don't know the meaging of contingency. .. Leave talk for matthias if you are doing well, na for your pocket. If you are not God help you. Las las, we go dey alright grin
If you are not doing well you should ask questions and not leave it for God as God has given humans wisdom to think for themselves...Yes all fingers are not equal but all fingers are stretched out to their full capacity of growth, hence contributing to the workability of the hand...

God gave some 10, 5 and 1 talents..I don't expect everyone to hit 120k per week but if we all operate with all the required tools and information we can all work at our maximum potential whether it be 65k, 75k, 120, or even 200k..Then Las Las we fit dey ok wink

I think one of the places guys miss it is thos point you raised. Suppose you were doing a 9 to 5 and earning 140k a month. Note thats that's what you have if you net 35k weekly. You'll fall sick like every other person, your house rent, fix car, feeding and all other bills will come out of the salary so wheres the big difference. If you save like everyone else you'll most likely live like everyone else. On the flip side, how many people actually earn 140k a month? Not as many as you'd expect.
Driving means I'm always liquid, like one man I carried some time ago (He owns a school in festac) who also drives part time said "its like having a tree that grows money". This may not be accurate but i got the picture.
Also talking about tolls, shebi na rider de pay, your toll payment is reimbursed na...abi? So i dont get it when guys calculate tolls as part of their OpEx.
That's my account book and book keeping system
Love your operating expense brother..BTW alot of people earn 140k monthly just that their opex is over the roof..working on the island living on the mainland etc...dats what I said and I thank God Ave driven before..for any serious minded driver uber/taxify puts food on the table..it's not rocket science..yes you might not be a millionaire or build your house in vgc but you will be liquid..always having cash in hand...

Keep it up brother

I'm sorry to disappoint You, net earning is the same as net profit

Please, what makes it net?

If you 're considering debuting commissions only, u 're so wrong
Sir net earning on the platform is less commissions and gross earning includes commissions ie on the platform's financial analysis (for uber/taxify reconciliation purposes only)

However, the gross earnings for a driver will be less the cost of production in this case fueling that brought about that particular sales but net earning will be less ALL expenses including fuelling feeding et al..

The analysis above is for proper financial statement however for simplicity, gross earning for driver will just be the net earning showing on the platform but actual net will be less ALL expenses..

288, 895 / 4 weeks = 72,223 - fuel = net

My point
Sir you r wrong...you are calculating for profit but he said net earnings..there are two different things...leave out the fuelling and feeding and whatever expenses..if you read his primary post on this matter he made it clear..its the same assumption I made and retracted..

You guys are daft. That same screenshot from chucsmoore was during Christmas because I remember him vividly posting it during Christmas last year!!!

Surge was high and drivers were using Lockitor a lot on Non Lagosians who were in town then. Lockitor is the mock location app you guys use for salt and pepper and make such amount. Everything will now be double or even triple depending on how much jaga jaga or line tou draw. Lets now shake this table properly!!

To end this argument, let that 377 guy post a acreenshot of that amount yesterday alone. I will give him 10k and stop posting on this thread!!?
You are a very sad man brother grin...so chucmoore used salt and pepper rite? really if I haven't driven on this platform and offered best of services and haven't met some amazing and respectable drivers both on this platform and in person (irrespective of the ridiculously low fares) while riding, I would say the calibre of people e-hailing in Nigeria contracts is below the minimum co-op and sociable IQ...

You always explaining your failure and wont humble yourself and learn...im really concerned for you brother...I feel like you need love grin and I pray you find it.

I wont condescend to your level to have a conversation with you nor quote you again because you belong in the jungle interacting with animals.

Please sir I don't mean no insult to your good person but im only stating my observations steeped from the fact that you cant carry on a mindful conversation without cursing which is very worrisome.

Cheers

I know you said you won't respond but my good sir with all due respeck what did you make on that particular Thursday? Even if you made that amount or more I'm telling you someone didn't make close to the aforementioned amount...someone complained and cursed uber on that particular day because of lowfares

My point remains the same and your point is duly noted.

haba.

Net earnings is what I have been typing because net profit isn't a constant due to the fact, that different drivers drive different cars with varying fuel consumption rates. Some eat food of 3k daily. Others will recharge their phone with airtime and data of 10k in a week.

Net profit is not a given. What is a given, is net earnings. How you spend the earnings is none of my business
Yes my bad that's where I mixed it up...I get your point clearly I wonder if nitigriti mixed it up also if not then there really is no point to stress further as you proved your talk...

I thought you were of the opinion anyone could net #120,000 every week? The thing din dey clear, abi?
If you see my previous post on this matter i was never of another secondary opinion...iz just the words being mixed up. ..net and gross profits...point is from what he makes the amount can be paid for rentals for any serious driver.

Clearly the mix up is between net/gross profits and net/gross earnings or sales but we no dey economics class and I've gotten the point. Cheers

They are fond of that nonsense. They will even claim it was made fraudulently just so that they can feel good about themselves.

If I have ever used any fraud app, may I never see the end of this year. If on the other hand I have never used any fraudulent app in my life, may my blessings never cease.

Amen.
Blessings never cease bro...I've learnt in life to ask questions where I have lapses and deficiencies..if things are not working for me there r working for someone else so instead of hating just humble up and ask....let's all get this money mate..

Difference between gross and net. Let's stop twisting this thing.

Gross in green - 333,100
Net in orange - 288,895
Hello brother I guess that's where the mix up is. ...don't know about nitigriti but I meant net profit which should exclude your expenses ie fueling, feeding, other expenses I didn't mean net from the app which excludes only the commission/fee.

I meant net profit but you posted net earning (gross profit) which is okay bro. I think we should rest this case as you made ur point clear...you are doing fine..much respeck cool

That's not today's job, look well.
I know it's not today's job but it's a weekdays job and not weekend...it could have been today's job or any other weekdays job.,I tell you, on that particular day some driver somewhere was saying uber business is dull...on that particular day some uber driver didn't even make 15k..so my point is the fact that I can't do something doesn't make me knock another person's success rather ask questions and be optimistic about people's claims.

Not everybody has time to lie or make up figures...we should be challenged to do better and give people benefit of trust

What u posted are not net. Those are partial net of only commissions been deduted. How about other expenses, fueling, sevicing, car maintenance, changing of wear n tear parts... I'm sure no car is mechanic free. Be it toks or not
Its not even partial net but full gross but the point is he grosses 120k every week which I think is impressive non the less.

People like you guys are the problem of Nigeria! Watch that guys comment. Made 42k on Uber after Fuel!!! On a working Wednesday? Not even weekends that people relax? Are you guys crazy or something? Are you aware of the implication? It implies that he made at least 2k per hour for 24 hours driving!!!

Are you aware that Uber allows you to drive only 12 hours? Which implies he made 4k per hour? Driving the whole 12 hours? Are you guys mad? No Traffic? No Uber Fee? No Tolls? Lets assume its even possible to drive 24 hours without traffic!!! How much is a kilometer on Uber 70 naira? 80 naira? That means he did 600 kilometres today alone...
From here to Onitsha is how many kilometres? From here to Sokoto is how many kilometers?

Now I understand why some imbecciles are Still willing to vote Buhari... Nigerians have mortgaged there capacity to reason critically!!! Am also beginning to believe my friend that Nigeria as a country has the highest concentration of rettards. Cursed be the day God made me a Nigerian. I would have been better off a Somalian!!

Investors looking at this rubbish earnings should beware. Uber and Taxify is shaky now. No driver ever made 42k in a day... Maybe during Christmas which is still doubtable!!
This has been my problem with you good sir, you curse just to make your point...you always love to throw stones but leave in the glass house.. You expect people to believe your silly story of how you snapped your friend and brought the picture here though you explained but personally I don't believe you but we took it and closed the case..Did you allow the guy explain his earnings? did you ask him first? Relax my brother and don't keep disbelieving everything...Do you know if he did an offline trip that netted him 40k today alone and made additional money on the platform?..do you know if he did offline of the total sum? if he met some customer from outta the country dat paid in dollars? or tips and all?

While driving I did offline one time for like 3 hours or so for 14k and closed...I coulda driven my normal timeframe on the platform and hit a high amount...Sir please always make your point without insulting anyone..The truth is as im speaking to you now someone is make money that yourself would think is impossible...

Please note I didn't say its true but instead of calling people`s achievement a lie without proof you should rather ask first for details rather than just insulting like what nitigriti did with fahrenz by asking for proof

BTW I know someone that made a profitable trade yesterday of 1.8m grin..oya come and shoot me...RELAX the world is moving rather ask how its moving not disbelieving its moving.

What I've been saying to him since last night
Hello brother, I beg to differ..my take is this..any driver that is serious minded...honest with himself...and has bills to pay (I means does not have another source of livelihood) can make this work...I drove on this platform after I resigned my appointment with the Bank to set up my business..

Honestly I was comfortable driving because I realise I ALWAYS had money in my pocket..for me the only thing was that I was picking alotta my former customers ;Dey were acting like driving was a curse angry. me I no send dem ooo but driving was not my main source of income. brother if I had nothing else to do and driving was what was paying ALL my bills, I mean my 9-5 den what fahrenz is doing is highly possible..i tell you..ive been there...To be frank, I learnt a lot from dem Ogunvic and romeo3..i admired their work ethics minus the fraudulent activities, does guys motivated me and I knew it was possible.

Like every business, if you dont have good money management and know how to save money, trust me, no matter how much you make you will be broke perpertually..ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE...

It's now very clear to me that you didn't understand this post I made on this HP issue.

It's not for everyone but it's not impossible.
I have been proving how possible it is. I will never decide for anyone. After reading my thoughts on this, he can decide. I even pointed out factors that must be met.

You are only attacking because you believe no one can make 120 weekly consistently and I just told you it's a big lie. Where it's 0.1% or 1% the fact remains that it is possible.

That Is what I will keep Nacking on your head. You don't get to choose who qualifies to be among the 1%. Some newbies are already among the 1% before they even touch car key.

How many drivers on rental even meet up? The primary difference between rental drivers and HP drivers boils down to who is solely responsible for car maintenance. Apart from that, there is no difference.

That you have a wife that demands money and a son that goes to school or dstv that needs to be paid is no ones business. You chose that life.

There are people without such burdens.
Enough said brother....I think anybody viewing this thread gets the point...IT CAN BE DONE...as for the 1%, no one has the right to place anyone in that cadre but themselves...when I started driving about a year ago after I resigned my job, I had a few months to spare before completely setting up my business so I decided to drive. Believe me, I did very well, made atleast 10k everyday and I wasn't even driving full time..always closing before 4pm most times and starting like 8 or sometimes 10am..Bear in mind I had literally 0% driving on the platform yet with the info I got here and just using my brains, I was able to figure things out easily..Honestly most times it was just simply putting on my app and allowing the wind blow me to and fro..other times I had to position but honestly mostly I did nothing but to wait for request and if I stayed in a place like 20 mins no request I reposition.

Nothing is easy in life so any serious driver with guts and tenacity to work will make it...if my business were to pack up now God forbid, I will hit the street driving and be better off than some office workers. This uber thingy is not rocket science...its about a desire to feed and passion to drive.

99.9% of drivers are not smart. Facts only
How many drivers on this thread can show savings of #300,000 in their account?
I don't think this is right...even from this forum they r a number of drivers that have saved and bought their own cars...one even has bought two and given to another driver for rentals...I have also been a rider to some wonderful drivers and we got to talking...some are now driving their cars after doing HP or saving from rentals.

What Fahrenz posted should not be disputed because numbers don't lie...how don't you want Him to cumulate his figures? I have also driven on the platform and I never did it full time..Bro I made a lot money..at least i always had cash in my pocket....and I will recommend ehailing to anyone to drive if he has his own car and don't know what to do...

The truth is a lot ta drivers make more money that some that work in offices and that the truth..yes it's better if the car is yours but it can also work if you r on rentals or HP for any SERIOUS MINDED DRIVER.,.
