Them think say na prank 😂

Come 12 months time, this engine will still be running in its 100% state but people wey no even know where refilling valve dey for CNG dey brag say e dey spoil engine

10,700 to make 80k+ and still having gas . Do this just 10times and you don get the money wey you use convert the vehicle and the vehicle still dey kampe and you tell me say make I follow you go dey dance Skelewu for Alausa 😂😆😂
As we dey convert na so so God bless you the owners dey talk. Time no dey to dey assume or wish, put leg for ground and convert if you have the money, na you go enjoy am. Thank God living witness don dey on board now. Imagine dey run AC while waiting for rider with #1,400 fuel 😆 😂
Fire on! Make I see how engine wan spoil.

I still did 15k extra before topping gas this morning 😁😁😁

Jegheter:
Broooooooooooo .

Na why I Dey ask that guy how much be engine

I bought gas of 10,700 and for did almost 72k on indrive, 6k on uber and 2,800 offline.

I still have gas remaining. Had to refill twice because there was no pressure in the morning. But total na still 10,700.

Jegheter:
Congratulations. U have made a very wise decision by His grace I will join you asap. By His grace. .

I don Dey reap the fruit of my labor. I Dey use AC wait for ride now profit margin is insane too.

Dshocker:
You mean 90L CNG tank?

Yeah

Kaymax2222:
how much did you buy the 90l and is it fibre?

420k
Fiber

cyif2003:
Pls which car u dey use and how much b d cng

Civic and I spent 700k. Bought kit and cylinder myself.

Kumuyiii:
No talk to much abeg, leave these ones. Person go buy 35k fuel, he go dey look for him money.. As if he's been cheated. If fuel come back down to 700,then I'll reconsider cng, till then, it's the only way I see to survive this shi

Exactly…. I been no reason CNG as fuel na 739 but at 1,330, omooo!!! Difference is insane.

Azertise:
I haven't posted my dash breakdown and lessons so far like I mentioned in my past post, because I took a break so I just dey follow from the background, dey enjoy bants, talks, and even the occasional soft life teaching from Oga Kums . But the things I have been reading lately. Especially this CNG matter, abeg. Go and convert in peace na. for almost 3 weeks now, e remain make person dey see CNG stations for dream.

If you go to a CNG Station and you meat happy CNG users, follow them. But remember the ones that got bitten would not be there. That's how Survivor Bias works.
Just like in world war, planes riddled with bullets that got back to the base were about to be reinforced where they were hit, but that's when someone argued that its the places where there were no bullet holes that should be reinforced. Because the ones getting hit there are not coming back. The people that have suffered the worst of CNG are silent, bitter and probably retired.

So if Installers are better now, install in peace make we hear word.

The problem many of you have is not knowing how to weigh risk against benefit. Imagine saving 20k of fuel daily, that’s 120k weekly saving on a 6 days work. How much is the entire car sef that only engine issue will discourage you.

I am currently installing a 90L right now and by tomorrow, my massive savings on fuel will begin.

With 90L, everyday work guarantees 40 to 50k profit. So I ask again, how much is engine again?? Even better when you know that majority of new installers have no single issue. I don’t care about the worst case scenario if I make minimum of 40k daily.

There’s no emotion in business. Ask yourself, will I risk 1 million naira on a business that guarantees 20k daily? Many people will fly into the business even if it’s way riskier.

It's not about Uber being better sha. It's just his way of working. I have worked like this severally in d past. Indrive is the best if you know how to use it to your benefit like d instance u stated. But iz patience

Uber is consistent with their pricing and don’t really understand the Nigerian market. Indrive understands it better and when low lives a little busy in traffic, watch Indrive prices.

Uber likes keeping a large chunk of money they charge passenger unlike Indrive.

In another news, what exactly is happening with the numerous lane closures in the island. First Akpogbon bridge, second, costal road and then lekki epe express. I spent 4 hours from ogombo to Surulere. Map was directing me through idumota market so it will leave me stranded there.

Jegheter:
Guys I never knew this lagride jeeps had 1.5L engines .

Just met a guy using it and he even converted to cng. So his enjoying ooo. Said his had no issues with cng. 1 year plus using it

Guy isn't even concerned about fuel. Minus cng sef 1.5L is perfect for d job. His also lucky his calculation for d car is 9m under d old order so he will soon finish paying.

So while some are complaining some are smiling and happy with d job. The right tools is needed

I went to CNG refill stations at Jakande first gate and at Agege to observe how fast they dispense. It took 30 seconds to refill Keke cylinder and it cost 2,300.

I inquired from the keke guys that has it and they said that I shouldn’t waste time to convert as CNG is readily available there. Though they start selling by 8 AM and close 7pm in all stations.

Eazilyfe:
Boss, i treat it like going to work daily

If you stay on the mainland like me, In the morning around 5am-6am depends on when you decide to go out but i advice you start early. Set your destination trips to VI or Lekki Phase 1 with Bolt comfort because you have 5 destination trips daily. You can also target island trips on Indrive too but na mostly N270/km you go see if you dont mind but i dont take it sha.

When you get to Ikoyi, Lekki or after Phase 1 target Lekki phase 2. Just dey shuttle btw phase 1-2 and Ajah. By 3-4pm set destination back to Mainland. Offices go don close for VI

Dont get trapped or carried away with trips after phase 2, because if 5pm-6pm nack meet u for that side e go hard to see destination trips back to mainland except u use Indrive to get out.

See how many trips i quickly completed in less than an hour.

So basically you learn Traffic flows with Uber apps for example, in the morning people are navigating towards VI, IKOYI, LEKKI. In the evening people are navigating towards IKEJA, IYANA IPAJA, OSHODI, ILUPEJU etc

Thats just what i studied so far and some other things i'm still learning from looking at the uber map radar

On Uber you will on AC for riders if dem ask sha o, else dem go spoil your account with reports. Na lekki people dem too like comfort. Person dey go next street carry Uber something wey we dey trek for mainland, infact i don carry person cross road before seems like 1km trip dat day i jst dey laff dey look the babe for rear view mirror

This doesn’t make uber better than indrive. Some of us here go on this short trips for 1k minimum per km.

I can’t start my car for a 3k trip if it’s not above 1k per KM. If passenger can’t enter keke and prefers comfort, then they should be willing to pay for it.

Only indrive can give you abnormal profit on short trips. I have carried one woman for 1.2km for 3k. And I even accepted because she was 300m away.

Liam Rosenior's problem started when he started copying Maresca by using Reece James in the midfield and forming Pep guardiola without a treble with a ball playing goalkeeper idea.

For how good Trent Axlendar-Anorld was on the ball,a better tactician in Jurgen Klopp never asked him to play from midfield instead hurt the opponent with his ball from behind.

Once a manager start doing abnormal things,the lest you can expect is an abnormal results.

Rosenoir is only as good as the players he has. Chelsea get only few good players. Rest na scrap.

Debroslink:
You're not a bigger Messi fan than me, but Iniesta slander will not be tolerated by me.

Show me the UCL that Messi won without Iniesta on the field, but I can show you the UCL Iniesta won without Messi being on the field.

Again, show me the UCL, EPL Lamfraud won without Roman, but I can show you the UCL, EPL Roman won without Lamfraud.

Unreasonable submission.

There’s no metric in football in makes Lampard a fraud. He reached the peak of midfield ability ever in this sport.

Na attackers you suppose compare am with, no be midfielders.

SHOOPSYN:
There is a particular street around Shasha road, Egbeda, "Abeokuta street". Most weekends that I have been there, there is always fake orders coming from there. They will even pick your calls, say rubbish and waste your time. Third time I was there, I decided to park somewhere and walk to the street because is not motorable. Is a terrible location and looks dead end. Saw some guys gathered, not sure who and who. I just want to urge drivers to becareful around that axis. Is not normal to keep doing fake orders, same location everytime if they don't have ulterior motives. Ire o

No be fake orders o

Indrive mistakes that location as somewhere in Ajah. I spoke to a girl from there who confirmed she’s in Ajah.

OGs abeg how is Eid day usually like in this hustle. I am seeing nonsense prices since.

Make I know if I go drive go back. I still Dey close to house.

Jegheter:
Hmmm. Has he reported to the police about his missing friend?

He obviously would have. It’s that guy that posted his story about how he nearly got jumped on TikTok. He is a night driver

Jegheter:
.

Bro that night waka na very risky thing mehn. Even if u dey run night y u go dey go ikorodu for night unless he lives there himself

Sad

Na juicy trip cause am. I don’t see a reason why a driver will be going to any suburb by midnight.

A driver said he hasn’t seen his friend who took a trip back to his base from VI to Awoyaya. It’s been 6 months, no car, no body seen.

Just hearing reports of a car hijacker thar shot an ehailing drivers yesterday night at Ogijo, Ikorodu and he died on the spot.

This hustle isn’t worth the risk of driving at night. Not like these drivers net 200k per night or anything close.

Eazilyfe:
To me sha , For this KM driven should be N85,000 above net income if Indrive don comot their share. N550 per km above

Fuel don cost

Prices were low and I decided to do long trips.

Jegheter:
For me 350km-400km for a civic with 1.8L is average.

Add 3500 to this amount and less 30k fuel. Is this in anyway sustainable?

Jegheter:
Off course asset depreciation is calculated separate from maintenance budget. I'm just saying that via calculations. 1.8L fueling with 10k would give u 40k. I'm assuming all thing being equal and car is in top shape. Catalyst converter installed etc. even without the catalyst or car not optimally performing let's say 30k. But now with the increment same 1.8L would give you 30k. and 20k respectively for the car not optimally performing.

Yes I see your point tho when it comes to maintenance budget. The depression is yearly calculation but the maintenance budget would eat into it all

So it means it favours 3 cylinder 1.6L cars cng or electric

How many km do you suppose a civic will cover with 8 litres driving around Lagos with AC and what is the average price of each km on indrive.

Not waiting for any juicy trip.

Jegheter:
As in.

But let's be honest sha. This bizness even as it is presently is very profitable for 3 cylinder cars and 4 cylinder cars not beyond 1.8L. or electric or cng cars

It just affected the profit margin doesn't mean there isn't still profit.

You also can't blame the app companies cause dey won't take d drivers serious.

Noone is a fool. The people working know they are making profit and actually dey r

Then you must mean that my civic is a fuel guzzler because this business is no longer very profitable. In fact, I don’t consider making what invested as fuel as profit profitable.

Less 20% depreciation from every daily profit and recalculate. Note: Assest depreciation is different from maintenance budget.

Just seeing that the strike achieved nothing. Indrive are still dishing out poor prices while desperate drivers and scrambling.

I think I have to believe what some old timers said about how the business went downhill since indrive came on board. They deemphasized on quality of cars and marketed themselves to customers with cheap prices.

jideflash:
Some drivers have financial emergency like medical bills and others. But you are sabotaging their effort because of your own selfish reasons. If you don't like, shut your app, let others survive.

So you can enjoy the surge well meaning drivers created. You don’t deserve to survive, because the future of the business depend on elimination of your kind.

Jegheter:
Just imagine the slave mentality. Bro u r doing d Lord's work

Just seeing this one on Facebook. Even 25 minutes?? This is why I say some people are destined to be poor.

25 minutes is at least 5k ride.

Jegheter:
I don dey set trap.

I go waste many drivers fuel today

Someone already drove for 16 minutes to come and pick me up. Me wey dey play FIFA.

I didn’t even know some drivers drive that long to pick up.

saudatu:
Abeg guys, I urgently need to convert my car to CNG, i can't cope any longer. I'm tired, please 🙏 I will appreciate any help to this effect. I need a place I can do initial down payment and spread the rest. Pls help before man die of depression. Thank you sirs.

I want to convert too since it’s like 650k. CNG is 380 and that’s a lot of difference.

I am discouraged because of reports of few CNG stations available and I fear for queues. Also having to plan your movement around the stations selling is a lot of work too.

YeyeGbami:
If you no fit kala for this work, na frustration go finish you. I say make I do freestyle work on Sunday, naso this person order.

I reach pick up, na two big inverter batt this niggie wan carry from osolo way go Oshodi bus terminal for 3k5. As i go near the battery try lift one see say na heavy duty I told him 10K.

He say no, i say bye bye. Ire o!

Funny enough, one guy did same thing to me at Canoe. I saw two big inverter batteries and he said he will add 1500. I told him to put the load in the description of his ride order that a hungry driver will come his way.

I drove off and he did exactly what I told him. A driver picked the ride. I am more than convinced that some people’s destiny is to be poor. They actively try to be poor and it is one of the easiest things to do.

Memberclub:
seems very few people here work nights like me

I don’t consider the returns on the business to be worth such risk.

Kumuyiii:
Me too bro, can't continue this shi

CNG and suzuki boys are the only ones making something out of this hustle now. They too encourage these low prices.

capetownboyz:
Bought fuel 1,220 , mehn was pained fr ..I don’t on AC for riders except during morning or night rides ,to reduce fuel consumption cause the rate given for this trips are low compared to the amount we use in buying fuel ..

I got the rude shocker when trying to top up at a filling station I saw 1050. They reset meter after I paid and it showed 1250.

This hustle might be pointless for now.
