I'm not giving her word of hope sweetheart

Oyindidi:
What? I still dey owe you?

You dey fear?

Calm down

The lady needs a solution, not a word of hope. Give her a solution

Oyindidi:
Don't let that affect you in anyway. Your Prince charming will find you someday. Best of luck sweetheart

Ehailing is less than 5year in Nigeria. A lot have happened in last 2 years. Fare reduction is one and has its bitting effect in the industry.

It's sad that the low request ad earnings have made lot of Drivers to be desperate. Work ethics and standards have been thrown into the trash can.

The yellow cabs are facing a more harsh condition because of the rideshare app have taken almost all their customers but this people still have their standard/fixed price for Trips.

They don't say because they have not done any trip for The day they show now undercharge. These are babas that we see as uneducated. So why are the educated who offer a better service don't know their worth.

If the Baba at the peak of cab business don't have standard. Will uber and Taxify see an opportunity in the Taxi industry? The answer is no. What we would have, would have been the kind of Ogudu taxi. 50/100 per head.

There is more to consider before charging for a trip. It's not just about the fuel. Know your worth.

Nice post, but you should get ready for more reduction of fares. We haven't seen the lowest sef

With the high influx of corollas in the business, the only sustainable solution is to reduce the fares.... The more the riders, the more they can accomodate more corollas

And about 70% of drivers are on rental.... What do you expect?

Believe you me, in this present situation, Lagos to Abeokuta to and fro for 15k is very beautiful(Abi naa), but someday, it will go as low as #10k

After all, like someone calculated, fuel is 4k and you have 6k for yourself

Tyche:
I was just discombobulated, have been more like a spectator here, but concerned about the state of the business and wants encourage someone to keep on keeping on.

But then, it is what it always is, ghost mode re-activated. Best of luck to everyone here, from my heart of hearts.

nitigriti:
Yeah, just as we shouldn't see those who will take the offer as being stupid or greedy or car damagers or people spoiling business

nitigriti:
The offer is to and fro trip to Abeokuta for #15,000.
I buy #3,000 fuel, I reserve #1,000 for my light breakfast and big lunch. I can be in Abeokuta in 2 hours. Return trip is 2 hours. I wait 4 hours in Abeokuta. Total of 8 hours. 10:00am to 6:00pm is 8 hours. 6:00pm, I've returned rider to Ikeja. I set destination and go home. Infact, forget destination, I blow empty go house. I check my wallet at home, #11,000 is smiling at me.
How many drivers made #11,000 after Uber/Taxify today, a Tuesday? Someone should explain what doesn't make business sense here.

Tyche:
Forget these lazy driver way full here abeg, entitled lots they are. They will just be complaining of request up and down but will fail to make best use of the little opportunity available to them. They do not know that opportunity when is comes, does look like challenge.

This morning, I posted a not so attractive trip. Not because I can't easily get an Uber or a taxi to take me/us there, but because I want someone here to just benefit from what I wanted to do today, that's why I used brother in my post.

The guy that picked me today, we just booked hotel for him sef, him no fit drive go house, that's aside the money he made. And it continues till Thursday when he will drop us at the international and local airport respectively. But a lot of people passed it by because it's not what their lazy imagination wants.

A lot of drivers in Uber and Taxify are phucking entitledled; we're right after all.

franksam2009:
bro you go hear am lol,. Just pray you get it be4 2months lol , mine too 3 months be4 I was called for capture..,,
But recently I met a friend who did his in a day( paid and did capturing same day). I was so angry cos I didn't know of it on time .

Cooladex:
I thank God for today. Started work at 8am. Took a break from 1pm-3pm and closed by 10pm.

I know where you went to

No need to tell me brah

gobuchinny:
I noticed something while driving then and i dont know if it still happens now..then you might park at a location maybe after a drop off and have other drivers there also waiting for trip..but i noticed that when you drive off maybe trying to move away because of congestion a request enters..this happened to me alot don't know if it still obtains though...

I have never understood how drivers park at either shoprite or especially at billings way and they r just gisting away..seriously arguing and laughing with themselves...i dont know if that still happens though..truth is the job will bring with it good days and bad days but at the end you go dey alright...atleast enough cash to keep body and soul together while you strategise on your next move

On the bad days encourage yourself and dont forget the good dayswhen it comes because it will..also ask questions because some folks are still killing it..

Never assume everybody is struggling..some people know some things we don't know(lockito not inclusive)...ask and learn from the experienced hands...Yes the business might be tougher now agreed but you can still make a decent income maybe not enough to have excesses but far above minimum wage

Of course it happens. I don't know if the app of the other drivers are on. That stuff happened to me many times in Lekki

And yes, people still make something decent from it. And like you said, learn from experienced hands. It's from them you can be able to strategise well.

The job description is to pick riders and drop them off.. But with the competition and influx of cars, it has become the survival of the fittest

God go help all of us Las Las

segzyndpep:
With my experience on the first day,i want to advice newbie that might want to do HP/rental,please think well before yoy accept 25k-30k and make sure you are on both taxify and uber before you even start.

I am only on uber and i must tell you the request is not back to back oo.and i think uber just love 1000-1200 and you will be surprise if they are actually giving you money for the fuel you used,without considering repairs.
It is well,las las we go still they alright.
If i am on rental or HP ,i will give up immediately but still seeing as it go sha..

Also please how much is toll for airport and lekki?

I have never driven on uber, and I was meeting my rental of #30k and servicing every month before I got another hustle

This job needs the grace of God(I believe in God ), but then, it's more than just knowing how to drive a car

You need to learn locations, where to be at specific times of the day(even if it means burning a little fuel to get there)

You also need to set a particular target for yourself. Motivate yourself. There are good days and bad days. So when you get a good day, utilise it well..

People are still making a living from it. So don't be scared by the number of corollas you see on Admiralty on Friday night

Plan your self, and your strategy

And as VictorAD will sing, PRAY FOR GRACE MY GEE

AntiBrutus:
I am actually a good cook, but then, I haven't been with a guy who is overly interested in my cooking skills.

AntiBrutus:
I understand you, but I can assure you there are ladies that flop at it.

I am not talking of those ones that can't cook at all o. I don't understand that category who have never given it a shot, but in the absence of that...I maintain not everyone would be a good cook. We would always have the bad and the ugly.

So which category do you fall under?

AntiBrutus:
I believe cooking is a skill, some people get a hang of it... others do not.

Not liking how to cook is different from not being able to cook

As a young girl, yes you Poco , your mum at some point in your life, must have taught you some skills in cooking. Now, you may not like to cook, but that does not mean you can't do it

I wish I could explain more clearly

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
So many relatives and househelps plus she's d last born.

Wow

Okay

Oyindidi:
True my hand dey pain me anytime I want cook

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
Which question?

izzou:
For me, I really do not have issues with food. And yeah, I can date a lady who doesn't know how to cook

But the truth is, it's not about her not knowing how to cook that's the problem. The real question I ask myself is "WHY DOES SHE NOT KNOW HOW TO COOK?"

Not knowing how to cook, somehow, tells a lot about who she is, especially if she's not from a very very rich family where they have cooks and maids ant their disposal

So not knowing how to cook is not really the problem. It's the reason why you refused to know how to cook that I centre on.... And most times, my answer is usually laziness



And if I may ask, did you ever ask your mum why she never learnt how to cook?

Oyindidi:
I no sabi cook
