I told you guys CNG is not good, someone they press my neck that what are my reasons another person talk say I too talk with no evidence lol 😂, I get few people that as done it at 2023/2024 all of them done dekit before most of you guys did yours 6month to 1year ago... If you use CNG more than 3years without not having brainbox issues or engine issues prolly you are always running on petrol mostly,

CNG companies are just here to sell dere products because Nigerians like awoof e go soon cast una go cry😂😂😂😂

After investing 1million+ on CNG plus losing your car engine. That is when you I will have just save up for another tokunbo car. If economy no good again stay away from the business or manage the interest you see.

I don't need to answer your question 'how many people do I know ' they are disadvantages to this thing called CNG you know, to learn more Google is your friend and YouTube is your friend to watch and see peoples feedback about it positive and negatives

If newbies want to start e hailing now they will tell the person it is profitable they will never tell you how it is profitable days of the week, challenges, risk na you go find out yourself if you can keep up or leave it for strong men.

Just this month alone na 2 people I heard doing e hailing they hijack dere cars not to talk of someone missing with their cars on the job due to they want to make maximum profit and all this people wey dey net over 40k daily 😂😂 dere car no dey good they will never show what dey go through with mechanic or how d condition of dere car is and is this same people passenger will lost or forget an item in their car still steal it or refuse to return tell me if profit plenty will any driver steal something

Am sure a lot of people saw full grown men entering deep water on the Island just to pick up 20k ride at the end of it they car got flooded na does people dey look for 50k profit daily

I blame the government, I blame the apps that allows passengers to reduce the recommended price they choose lastly I blame the stupid so called people using CNG accepting those prices because passenger believes someone will accept my price soon they will rather wait than rush

I have never picked ride below 600naira/km before if na 2 to 4 trip I see I dey house be that if na 20k I see as net I dey house be that driving cars for long hours causes a lot of mechanical issues, overheating, engine self done too hot. I know so many drivers this year way no drive again always having issues with the car

Alot of people don't know or understand what is called a vehicle so far it is still starting we move that is why Nigerian fear to buy Nigeria use car and prefer tokunbo na so so water person go wake up for morning they put inside radiator still pack few water inside booth in case anything happens for road to buy coolant within 10k to 20k na war they are making a lot of money

I know a person doing Uber for over it 8years advising people on it presently he is looking for a car if 2-3m Nigeria use where are all the alot of money inside it he is still looking unkept Uber is side hustle nothing more

Am a construction engineer if you need my service let me know I do drive weekends when am not on clients projects just to survive
Conner44:
I know you'd find it hard to reply but i'm still waiting for you to tell us exactly how many people you know whose vehicle's brainbox had been destroyed just because they installed CNG kits here in this nigeria where you said we are cool
Business › Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Latonal1: 11:31am On Aug 12
Even 400naira/km if you focus on that price and you at the end of a whole if you are using petrol if you see 15000naira may be few people gave you tips your price per km is determined how close you are to the passenger and also the distance he or she is going to

If you see a ride 400naira/km and the person is 2mins pick up it is a bad price but if you see a ride and it is 500naira/km and you see 10mins pick up it is better than the 400/km own

Before I pick a ride I make sure I have Idea of if the pickup road and drop-off is okay because passenger don't care about your car just drop them in dere location and they pay you.


Lastly let us try to call passengers immediately before going to pick up location like where are they and where are they going to because map sometimes is crazy, ask if they are carrying anything make you no drive down see say they are carrying crates of eggs, bag of rice, freezer, tv, wardrobe. Passengers are crazy sometimes dey don't have anything to lose na you go waste your time and fuel

If any passenger after pickup claims he/she forgot to tell you that they want you to wait for them to get something on the road charge them depending on how long they will wait no dey believe all this oga I go settle you no worry at the end of the driver they will hard 1k or 2k and you wasted your time for minutes
Nairamotive:
In Abuja here, drivers are just accepting any rides without increasing it.
Yesterday, I went back home without taking any ride because all rides I saw was just around 250/KM.
I accepted like two with fastest finger but cancelled it after I looked at the map very well
So so low.

My advice is for now, no one should take this as a full time job.
It's really frustrating.
I only focus on weekends and set over 400/KM for myself

You people in Nigeria use after market CNG kits and poor wiring. Nigerians looks for one guy that knows how to fix CNG fair or affordable price in one corner you people will never go to a certified company to get it installed. Using CNG in car that was not installed directly from the vehicle manufacturer is a scam

Example check all this latest buses that comes directly with CNG installed copied neatly and it will work perfectly while all this installed privately is a total mess crazy wiring.

Before you install CNG, try to check how is install on like dangote trucks and or vehicles directly from China no be all this after market connection

So many people install CNG when fall price was around 500naira per litre are planning to unkit when fuel in almost 1300 tell me have dey deeply tell you why
Conner44:
Please tell us where/how you got this information of CNG destroying the brainbox of vehicles it's installed in shocked

40k in 30days is 1.2million, even if you drive everyday like your mental and physical strength dey for that my chairman your car fit Bleep you up even if na tokunbo

And no one can make 40k + daily because business dey dull sometimes, police, lastma, vio or other road issues might happen that will mess up any drivers day.
holysaint1:
Mind you.. It you are averaging around 40+ plus everyday, you shouls be able to make abit above more than that monthly. I knw it comes at the expense of your health and car. But na your biz ..

Hence its better to grow your business than someone else's.

I can if the 9 to 5 job is not stressful I resume in the morning 9am do my primary assignments in the work place then close 5pm on the dot Monday to Friday only.

The 9 to 5 transportation monthly must not be more than 40k something I can easily spend less than 2000naira daily

Lastly the 9 to 5 should be jobs that sometimes they pay bonus and also I can be promoted to get better salary on a long run.


This suggestion is for me to reduce driving stress, fuel high price issues and also to increase my car lifespan. In transport business in Nigeria the NET rate as come low, if anyone tries to make more money is you and your car that will suffer it
holysaint1:
I often read the commemts of some drivers here saying this uber work is akin to modern day slavery.

With that in mind, i would love to ask if any driver currently is willing to put aside the uber business for a 9 to 5 of approx 350k monthly pay.

The problem about Nigerians is we don't really care about our cars once e Sha work/start in the morning business begins, so many things in a car mechanically makes your car have a proper fuel efficiency. Most drivers over 90% use water instead of antifreeze coolant, also when you want to service your car you will go to one chinedu to buy mobile 1 around 30k thinking you got a good and some funny men will go change dere oil specifications because one kazeem mechanic says so. Lastly dere mechanical go buy 2,000naira oil filter. If you want your car to run well fuel efficient last long use coolant, get a good oil to service your that works with you car model year mileage and have good tyres and a again some car catalyst as been tampered with. The last oil I use USA Valvoline fuel economy formula and high mileage around 90k my filter self is over 10k . Tell me why I won't enjoy a smooth ride with 5k fuel for around 40km to 50km on a free high way someone said maybe I don't know what km is.

To me oo indrive is the best let me explain the new one click is best for any driver that is one to 5mins away from the pick up location not someone that is 15 to 20mins away or more on indrive I prefer doing short trips pickup and drop off in 20mins to 30min minimum of 5k done enter multiply by 10times a day that is 50k my car engine will only run for 4hrs maximum but the strategy and policy is as a driver you have to wait in your position for minutes be before you can see a ride not rushing things and location you will be going to pickup and drop-off you must be familiar to the place and traffic free and your passenger might not even bother to ask for ac because it is a short trip and likely tip you 500naira to 1k , but if I want to do long trips I go for Uber or bolt because of traffic fare price and commission on both you may drive for almost 2 hrs pick and drop off on ac join for a trip of 25k if dey remove commission how much go remain so make una think well for me during the week indrive in my environment while weekend all apps long journey because no traffic
Glithronix:
Indrive is cunning and very stingy grin - I'm sure everybody knows this.
Apart from the freedom to choose rides and negotiate, every other thing about them is scam (as you rightly said). grin
But it is worthy of note that indrive doesn't do card trips like others, so, because of this, there are a lot of things that might not work on indrive: being unable to withdraw bonuses is one.
Even, the bonus self, na only commission e cover, person is on his own with other charges. grin

You see that "one click" of a thing, na the riders I dey pity cos those who are ordering rides with that one-click BS will get frustrated when drivers don't pick their trips. grin
Any time I see that one-click orders, I go just dey laugh.
Though, some reasonable riders use that one-click and increase the prices to somehow fair amount, so, no driver go need to start bidding higher again.

Whichever way it is, indrive na real scammer grin.
Those people sabi the scamming work no be small.
Well, na the newbies and the greedy drivers go dey enter their scamboard. grin

Lastly, abeg I no be indrive advocate ohhhh.
So, I no receive any board meeting invitation.

We are all on our own....... grin grin



Much respect, boss.

Lekki phase 1 self is not left out, just that it gets better some times.
But once you enter from Ikate - Jakande/Osapa - Chevron/Orchid, your chances of getting good trips increase.

Na speed you dey look for or money if you will be going for 2.4L engine just make sure your car is 2010 upward so you go dey enjoy comfort plans rather than economy plans, never the less 1.5L is better but if your engine and car is good condition it won't consume fuel because some cars engine size na 1.5L but them dey chop fuel pass 2.5l the secret is the condition of you car determines with it will consume
