Williams004: You are being warned by Gazzuzz and others but you no wan hear word.There is a reason this thread we always advise newbies to read backwards before jumping in but typical naija laziness dey always worry some people. I started on Uber 2017 with a 2nd new 407 and trust me is suffered I became very well known in Ladipo in fact it was a constant for me.i used the car for just 6 months and I was in Ladipo at least 2ce every month that is apart from other issues I don't want to go into. eventually I sold the car at a good price luckily for me after cars 45 wan discourage me with dem useless pricing...i bid my time and because I also work I was able to then use that money to get a corolla 07 on HP and believe me in almost one year I have not visited the mechanic for nothing other than servicing but it came with a validated mileage of 87k so I got a very good deal or car as well without the usual shock or shaft issues and that's to computerglobal who chop my money well for various inspection reports but it was worth it in the end. So guy I can tell you for free if you don't have up to 1m at least don't bother itself jumping in you will cry except you are just very fortunate to get a good car from a desperate sale or Canada runaway and such don't come around everyday. Secondly the market now is not like before it is very saturated now.Gone are the days when Saturday was a steady 2.0 surge in the island or Airport was a steady 2.0 surge every hour as planes landed, several great people here don join fence don't go and buy a car and in 6 months you don enter fence..word is enough for the wise.... 14 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=alstarmayo post=78204038]LRU was there at about 6.15pm. Google map saved me, got a request from awolowo road ikoyi to surulere at 4.30pm, Google map advised iyanoworo- Anthony- ikorodu road and rider agree. That's how I got to surulere before 6pm. Always check Google map, wherever you're driving to, check. It was save you time [/quote ] I always check Google maps before I start out any trip especially long trips and view how the road plan is for any heavy traffic along the route so I can detour immediately so the only traffic that can catch me will be something that just occurred and will not be much. People who hang their phones on holders and still allow the map lead them are on a long thing cos it would lead you into traffic some times.i practically feel vulnerable without Google maps cos I hate traffic. |

oluwaseunla: Pulsation is only at the Pedal.... Issue 2: if I hit the brakes on an uneven road or pothole, the brakes are of no effect I have to press it again.last week on admiralty which is paved a keke suddenly swerved into my path, I slammed the brakes to avoid hitting it and the car just kept moving luckily there was some distance so I had to swerve out and press the brakes again before the Car slowed down..i think the brakes need to be checked anyways..can anyone recommend a good Toyota Mech available on Saturdays... |

Hello Peeps..does anyone experience either of these two issues on corolla 06...sometimes if I hit the brakes hard it starts vibrating under my leg like a spring of sorts then secondly if maybe I am approaching a pothole and I have previously hit the brake once I enter the pothole or bump the brakes seems to fail unless I lift my leg and press it again..what could be the issue..our super techs please assist @GAZZUZZ @Oluwaseunla @Radautoworks...but she na ghost observer here.. |

franksam2009: This is not true..i monitor my ratings and a 1 star rating will NEVER drop you below 0.01 otherwise you case is critical with multiple 1 star ratings so you can only have dropped from 4.80 to 4.79 no more definitely not 5 to 4.7...thats exaggerated.. It can be discouraging getting the 1 star cos it takes about 5-10 5star rating to rise again by same 0.1 |

sgtponzihater1: It's one of two things... You buy the Car and drive it yourself on the platform for about 2-3 months, you would get all the answers you need pronto. Option 2 Go back the last 500 pages and read till date am sure you would get to experience the flip side of things You would probably get to see how weekly rental went from 35k about this time last year to 20/25k currently but it's better you experience things ya self.... 1 Like |

slamstanlee: Had an almost similar experience at Mobil Maryland on Sunday.i was buying 6k fuel. I observed he started at zero and was selling I partly sat in the Car but my legs out and looking around but also monitoring as the numbers sped by then when it was getting to 5k I could sense the guy being fidgety so I pretended to be absent minded when it got just over 5k he somehow stopped the machine and claimed it was power outage but other pumps were still selling at that point I knew something fishy was up then he calculated how much of 6k was left and tried to restart he wanted to reduce it by like 120 and eventually we agreed he should sell 800 to make up the 6k instead of 680 he mentioned so while I once again pretended to be absent minded he was able to quickly make the 800 start flashing as if he had sold it already, I just calmly told him to sell my fuel that it did not move, by then he knew the game was up and sold my fuel for me.it just so sad how these attendants just try to fleece people of their hard earned cash forgetting they too aspire for the same level of wealth and it is sure they would suffer a similar or worse fate. Long and short be eyes open at Mobil Maryland especially for high fuel purchases,in fact I think once you cannot get down from your car to buy your fuel you become a target... 8 Likes 1 Share |

You dreamers that could not make a strike work last time out want to try again and the drivers struggling to make 5k a day you think they would be ready to off their app and not make money to meet up their rental. The one reason e-hailing would always be challenged here is because it was never planned for driver rentals yet we have made it a staple and it would always be the stumbling block for progress...i wish everyone the best on their daily hustle. 3 Likes |

Parlee: When it comes to buying a car whether foreign or Naija used you have to shine your eyes well because these days even some foreign used come with snow or flood issues but your chances are still very much better than a naija used corolla. Today on what basis would that owner claim to have used such car very well except the very few and rare owner purchased and is relocating in under a year or distressed sale but most naija used now have passed by uber or Taxify and the damage from dere is irreversible. However if you get any good corolla for that amount or say between 1.8 and 2m which is the true market value for a good and low mileage not tampered 06-07 corolla then I can point you to a company who offers HP at a better rate than what these car dealers offer outside that is a killer.holla at me.. 2 Likes |

gobuchinny: Let me say this here...i still have my daytime job so uber is a side hustle.However I know I possess a level of intelligence that is higher than the average person out there and I believe I use that to play where driving on Uber is concerned very much to my advantage and not many drivers out there can get to that level no disrespect and probably fahrenz or r.... also possesses same level of IQ or maybe even more and so he utilizes it to earn himself good bucks and this is not salt n pepper things however this does not now mean every other driver can achieve this some can not just meet up no matter how hard they try because that level of reasoning is not just there however there is one key fact in all of this.i have been driving for over 20 years in Lagos and before I started on Uber I would say I had knowledge of roads in Lagos a good 60%-70% But knowing roads and being intelligent all still took a back seat, I still had to understand many things and tricks of the trade meanwhile I was also battling regular weekly Ladipo visits so trust me no newbie should jump into HP e-hailing if they love demself just go looking for rentals and learn the ropes for at least 3-6 months before you then say you want to go the HP route Becos by then you would understand the terrain, even understand your spending habit and savings mindset to know if you can run that race well even more but to be sincere some of these HPs are too expensive, finance houses are still much better.I sold my Peugeot after seeing Hell with it mainly Becos it was bought 2nd new and the previous user apparently had damaged it so much but I love that car so now am also on GO with a corolla and for 6 months ave not had to visit a mechanic other than servicing I can want to look back on the peugeot days as wasted but it was a much needed learning curve now I can afford to save at least 1k daily just to at least have the savings mindset.so please newbies don't go HP...go rental first but people like fahrenz are rare even some oldies can never meet up such targets no matter how much they try exceptvthru dubious means....just my 2kobo 4 Likes |
