So you go dey harsh sun from morning till evening, then collect AC for house for evening cheesy. Radiation go spoil your skin thermostat

If you see a trip more than N350/km on indrive and e tey for dashboard it means something iz wrong with that trip grin

I dey my Uber jeje, make i dey chop N550/km dey go
The problem is the damn commission...

I no dey really pay attention to price per kilo, but i know as i dey price... So this is 1000/km today ...i even collect pass 1000 cus i charge for waiting. If uber is giving 550...that's horrid cus their commission makes it worse.

Bro d different on AC is worth the stress ooo...haaa i have ran d experiment with my 2.5L engine. Haaaaaaa. I'm talking of a difference of 12-15k daily n u r saying not worth d stress shocked....

Haaaa my own big boy no reach like dat ooooo🤣🤣. Abegooo...

It is my covenant to continue running my business like this. Even if the price of fuel never goes down and dey don't increase d base fare cause my profit margin IS NOT TAMPERED I'm good. It has returned to before the fuel increment only thing I don't use Ac. Cause on indrive does 300-350km trip na dem plenty pass if u dey wait 450-500km u go tey.

So in order to keep it moving cause time is money I run it like this. When I hustle finish I go my house collect AC if light dey.

Bro for me I needed to do that experiment and it works for me. My plan now is to either get cng as I still dey torch light am. Someone here said he has worked with them yet he won't do it on his car so I'm still researching or I get a smaller engine car like a yaris and use AC forever grin but for now we must adjust d koko na cashflow make my money complete

D hustle is still very good just we must all adapt to the current realities on ground
😂 Guy no be big boy mata oh, even if fuel clock 2k, my ac GAS DEY ON... Kai, na me una wan turn to mad man for lagos? Check anybody driving in sun, look their face 🙂.... Whenever i dey drive without ac, adey alwsys dey on anger mode.... Why? Weather hot bro, na why bus drivers no normal na, shuo... I no fit o, make i suffer one thing for dis country abeg..... If hustle cast God will provide another way. Not only do i need ac on, i need it mortuary standard in the sun, i no don't rest till i have it. Heat ke? Abeg oh, i have more fruitful years ahead by God's grace, make i no go dey look 50 at 30 something abeg.

normally I ride with Uber and bolt and per se my bolt act enter block unto make I verify vehicle report ..na him I say make I try them today ,Omo my eyes clear but aside that it was just a simple trip less than 2 hours but mehn the fuel prices no gree man enjoy him profits and the AC arguments just come de make me vex join ..I just use the trip end the day ..will learn to negotiate prices before I move to their location but my only issue is Indrive holding my funds and not giving it back for a canceled ride,even when you bargain from the app with better prices them no go accept,say na offline them wan come accept..bolt and Uber any day and anytime ..
Nobody will bargain price with you bro, unless it's from ajah/sangotedo /orchid, mayhe Chevron to airport. Bargain from the app... Mind, sometimes even the highest price presented by the app is bad, so some trips you jus gotta ignore completely. Don't stress over ac man, difference is not worth the stress, discomfort and toll on ur body abeg. Indrive dey alwsys return my money for canceled ride... Unless you later took the trip.

Greater is in He that is in Me that he that is in riders. Nobody can tell me nothing. No be this economy wey we dey? So if ac not working make I park a whole car? Untop how much?

Me I get fuel I get Ac but ur price is basic fare if u increase d fare I can on AC. If not, I won't. Nothing any Jupiter fit do. I'm ready for nonsense. My face alone sef plus God bless me with big body so Dem dey comport. Most of them.

Bro stop using ur ac and ur profit margin will slightly increase. Trust me that increase makes a whole lot of difference.

As per customer stressing pls maintain red eye. Me my posture alone u'll know I'm not smiling. I tell u no ac without being apologetic. Iz no longer a right but a privilege. I educate them on y we have first class and economy. Honestly driving this way help maintain my profit but more stressful but I'm here to make money FIRST before comfort.

Some prices u see u know the riders dont want to talk much. As iz above 450naira/km. I on AC without being asked. But all dose yawu yawu trips na red eye. If u stress me I'll drop u and u MUST pay cancellation fees

Now some women don't suffer for my hand. I educate Dem wella. U r paying how much u r asking for AC. R u going for excursion undecided

I feel ur pain.
So this caused a wahala for a rider and his driver just now... Driver tell am say no ac, say fuel matter... The girl tellam to go buy fuel, oga say he no dey go again, she say make he go drop am wer he pick am... Oga no gree, she no gree... Oga come down to go buy fuel, lady no gree come down, he lock her inside car o, according to her, for 25mins...b4 the guy came back, b4 he unclock(story doesn't make sense cus why you no use central lock open from inside) but oh well... She stole the driver's license, sayin she go suffer am.... Many many drama for this stupeed work 🤦‍♂️

I suggest you let them know say no ac b4 wasting ur fuel going, to avoid drama unneeded.

This fuel price is taking a toll on the little profit margin and worst still low fare rate and over bearing riders looking for AC mostly from that cheap app called inDrive .. Spent 10k on fuel for a trip of 8500 and 6900 .. how much profit did i realize in such a wasteful
Adventure that took me almost 3 hours to complete .. this job sucks this season and hope it doesn’t go further than this cus for now I’m freaking tired of bursting my head through this Sun ☀️ and roads ..

9-5
CNG/Suzuki geng
New drivers
Frustrated drivers.
Imagine a full business driver, using Indrive, in the midst of these scanvabegers grin.
Indrive free market strategy is working for them because they know prices can never be fixed.
They will get more customers,
their commission is intact.
Nothing can change this narration because free market is a complex economics, determined by demand/supply. There can never be a universal language among these list above.
Bottom line, everybody will still be fine

BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Kumuyiii(m): 9:18am On Mar 21
Piece of advice to my respected men here... Please, like i stated few days back, the major problem you'll face on this job na women, take what I'm about sayin SERIOUSLY.

1. Never carry a drunk woman. (you'll do jail o)
2. Please package urself well, i dey wear half agbada for this work.. Half agbada means only the big bubu, so i don't look too serious but still looking mad comfortable. Cus if anything sup with these creatures, people who lie with tears, ur greatest defense is ur appearance, unfortunately society profiles you like maddd.

The 2 times i carried women to police station becus them no gree come down peacefully from my car, i won all cases, including the one they could have gotten me(i was on a long call on the way to the station, which is not right) and their papa na one oga for police... But they didn't get me, why? Cus i look 'rich', looking rich means innocent for most people eye and police wan get something from you(obviously)... Nigerians hate poor people oh, if you like be rich and appear poor, dem go show you wetin no good.

Don't look like ur problem, cus with these creatures, they move funny, very funny.. Many men dey kirikiri becus of their accusations....

3. B4 you believe women, do so with evidence, lest you destroy another man's life... Even if ur mother comes crying say person do her something, ask for evidence, these creatures no real.... This is general life advice.

4. From phone call, or from first interaction upon getting in ur car, if she get that pepper body, abeg drop am, no go oh. (take this serious o)

5. I'll repeat again, women are like children, except they're above 55....treat them as such.... Don't address them with ma. Abeg una 🙏 speak respectfully, they're humans, but don't dish out honor to people without honor.

6. Dress well, again o.... Keep ur car clean, buy big phone (galaxy fold 2 or 3, older models,not as expensive as you think but people think it is) trust me, it does wonders... Package ur fake life oh... I bill people crazy money, they accept becus they perceive me rich... Most times they ask if I'm just going to a meeting... If ure looking for help, you don't do so appearing poor, pity no dey get anything tangible in life o😂 unfortunately, nigerians will rather give more to a rich man wey no send am, than give poor man 1 naira. So package. Package wetin no good.

7. Find IT course put body, this work won't get better, i hope it does, but.. For now, plan for alternatives.

8. DON'T SELL UR CAR. DON'T SELL UR CAR OO, Unless ur visa dey ur hand. No talk say i no warn u

When those senseless folks were busy uploading incomes dashboard last year and previously and the rest , they don't know this Companies have people watching and reading everywhere. Now they have all worked together to reduce all prices and here we are .
Please those folks uploading incomes dashboard should continue ooo , they say its not show off but motivation..

See the results now
Things are basically the same bro, nothin chnaged except ur leaders makin sure the suffering go deep.... If adey make 30k b4, I'm making same 30k but profit is grossly reduced... App people no reduce am... Wetin make price good last year na traffic, i spoke about this earlier, them attack me say them no need traffic. App companies no reduce price, na increase them no wan gree do. If you play a simulation wer there's moderate traffic across board, you'll see prices surge again. Unfortunately. But then again, we shouldn't have to sit in traffic to earn a decent wage, alas welcome to 'it my turn' government.... They went to uk yesterday when people were kpaid in borno, to secure loan of 800 million usd... Which wasn't free..... With a condition, a condition Rwanda rejected. We never deal with current insecurities finish, now they're bringin fresh ones.... We are finished.
