He is not wrecking any car, he is a real hard working driver, If I have opportunity to hire him, yes I will.

julietromeo:
He should continue catching his fun. Poverty is really bad. How much has he made so far? I will never encourage even my enemy to take this as a full time job. Do it for a while, get what u want n move on.

Na so bros

Meanwhile, is winter here? . Everywhere dry small

Na swear den go swear for u. A driver on rental saying he prefers his work more than banking job. Okay I don hear u. The work that is full of uncertainties, no pension, no life insurance. You risk your life on daily basis to make money. You dare not go out in a day without praying no matter your religion affiliation.

That is what he wants to hear naa

Let's help him catch his fun

To be honest, Uber pay better than bank job.

Is better I drive Uber than work in a factory.

One of my co worker who previously worked in a factory, has inform his formal colleagues, to go learn how to drive. If you say Uber is slavery, then factory work will be what?

Meanwhile I have a full day rest yesterday, after doing offline to akure go and come.

I have already remit my 35k weekly rent this morning. Whatever I make from today to Sunday will be in my pocket.

Don't allow those saying Uber is slavery drag you back, go out there and start making money.

I'm exhausted, like sleeping for the rest of the week... Yesterday I was joking in my mind like this work don tire me, my ears are not mine again, things girl's says on phone to question they ask "how do I smell? Does it look like I've smoked? Smell it" Frown face* what's my own now... Can make one have tummy upset.

After a good outing yesterday, around 10pm, got a trip going to ikeja from VGC, happy me, prayer got answered. Just few miles 2 approach 3MB, I don't know what punched my tyres (few weeks old), came down to check, need to change tyre. Open boot, no air in spare tire, had to manage and destroy the tyre to Yaba to have it fix. I woke this morning to realised spare is bad, had to get another tyre, spending around 6k. Head on to Ikorodu this morning, notice steering got hard to turn around the road that leads to Ijede, serpentine belt slipt into 2 (one of the Boris in pulley), had to fix that, buy new belt, spending close to 14k today

It is well.... Profit of 2days gone in a day, it ain't easy, tomorrow is another day

skillip:
Tune to 91.3 fm from 9.00am to listen to him daily except Mondays.

Thanks brah
But all these riders go gree?

Them don swear for riders with 98.5fm

julietromeo:
Your earning is not 2000 neither is 1800. Its actually 1500. Taxify do remove commission from the toll also.

Why these people dey like this?

Epphy:
How much were you expecting? You paid toll huh. You should always expect to have #200-300 less on long distance trips on #taxify. Them sabi scam drivers

Epphy:
Fine o...I dey house today jare...serviced car & went out. No work...have #2,500 I challenged Taxify on yesterday, reviewed today & showing on dashboard..the money no increase as usual.
I am working tomorrow by God's grace sha.

Taxify Na something else. Na so I carry rider this morning, app no show any map. Even the rider own dey show another destination.

She just tell me say na dolphin. I use my app check the estimate and showed her. She agreed and we zoomed off..

Abeg hit the road tomorrow. Back to back trips fall on you brah

Epphy:
Help me house biko....
How can I be getting long trips on Suns o. I drive once in a while on Suns and it hasn't been encouraging with short trips. I want to be earning 25k+ too like many people like izou and chllex

Funny enough, I've stopped driving on Sundays despite being on rentals. I go to church and spend the rest of the day with my family, friends and loved ones. Na around 4pm I dey enter road and close by 10 max to prepare for Monday people

This job has taken the basic happy moments of life from me once. I can't let it do it again

But Sunday work dey sweet... Start early so you can carry oloshos from clubs and hotels back home. Then carry people to church and back home. Then carry boyfriends and girlfriends to funspots... Then oloshos to clubs and hotels again

Epphy:
I believe this is what people have been saying. Although it may sound discouraging to many. In your case, you lost your job so you can do it till you find something better. We should always strife for the better even people that work and earn millions monthly want to earn more.
Ehailing is not easy however it comes with many positives too just like many other jobs.

Epphy baba

How your side?

Tyche:
You are right. But the truth is that the profit margin is not what it used to be and is dwindling, as compared to his other lines of business. Moreso, FMN has flour as it's core business and is always upping the game while Dangote and their likes are playing catch up.

He's never going to sell his cement business, he's currently dominating it, and will do so for the foreseeable future. The companies that tried challenging that dominance, including FMN, have since moved on.

Truth is, if a mechanic, or any mechanic for that matter, not necessarily Gazzuzz, will abandon ehailing, then we need to take note.

Ride-sharing has seen it's Glory days of renting but it's long past. There's still money if you follow the business model; driving yourself.

Tyche:
You are being overly emotional chief.

Let's look at it objectively, Gazzuzz is a mechanic, he knows all the long and short cut to maintaining a vehicle, sourcing spares, etc.

If he can leave the biz, it speaks volumes of the business.

Honestly, except you are driving yourself, it's easier for the camel to pass through the eyes of the needle than for you to break even the way the business is going these days.

Tyche:
Go figure bro

I know what a happy hour is

Na we dey carry the happy hour agents

Tyche:
With a happy hour

You mean these, right?

Epphy:
House, please who can recommend a drug I can take for ache. My shoulder has been paining me for weeks now. I believe it is due to steering car upandan

Try and rest bros. This work no easy

In case you need trips to chop bonus, I fit dash you my own. I no get strength today.

donshaddow:
My broda, sorry. Me sef carry such rider yesterday.. I just smile. I give am FCMB account she say no dem go charge am 52 naira. Lol. I kuku give am gtb cos one of our broda for here say I dey rude with rider.

Megadrop:
Riders are now becoming smarter since drivers are refusing to do short trips. As I was driving out of VGC I got a request from a lady who said she ws at Dmatel hotel by Askamaya and she's going to Ikoyi. I was happy cos she wasn't going towards Ajah cos of the mega chicken traffic. As we hit the express babe made what I suspected to be a fake call and thereafter told me that she wasn't going to Ikoyi anymore that she's gonna change destination to Mega chicken. I gats quickly do a u turn and face mega chicken. Got to destination, ended trip N430. Chai that thing dey pain. Samething happened on Sat. Picked a rider from one Arts exhibition center at Onikan and she was going to Chevron drive only for her to change destination to a restaurant on Awolowo way after a call. Got to destination ended trip N378.

nitigriti:
Guys, anyone interested in this? I'm willing to prepare you for the interview free of charge (I am a Management Consultant). Just mention me here.

Only regular contributors on the thread, please.

julietromeo:
You guys should be prepared for tomorrow traffic and road closures. Next level man is coming to commission unfinished projects as usual.

deedee44:
That thing dey pain.. You will need urgent cash, then go online only for you to start spending the little you have on tolls, especially when you don't have much fuel. After several card trips, I started one trip and it was cash. I didn't know when I shouted "ope o",
Rider asked what happened, I say bros u be my last hope to get cash for fuel. The guy looked at my gauge and we started laughing. He added extra 500 after the trip

slamstanlee:
We will do like 70% card trips today. It's like they are all on promo

I did three back to back card trips yesterday. And all of them passed through the Ikoyi toll

Very annoying but comforting

Epphy:
You really did o. It's a case of one had what the other needed between you & me.

Maybe we should just combine our results and send them a mail

Make them pay us 4k. We go share am 2k each
