Saturated? No! I don't think so.

Uber still pay, we drivers are just too greedy. We want to manipulate owners and gain advantage.

I make 20k weekly and I'm very comfortable with my salary.

Offline trip plus Uber earning makes Uber a better place to be.

lekbel09:
this same oluwagbengz has bin driving as far back as 2016 o, stop now it will be one less driver be dat

Crvrider:


I am speaking holistically both in Nigeria and everywhere else. At the end of the day we all need each other.

dru23:


Trust me more people will go hungry ,uber has created thousands of job. Uber will not lose anything, Lagos is not even their biggest market. Now the people on the fence does not speak any volume to the market ,uber could care less about the fence people, uber has more people on the road than on the fence ..those that are on the fence could not handle the competition or didn't know how to apply themselves.. Most Nigerians want an easy business to do. It takes patients and time to run a business.. That is the reason why those are on the fence are on the fence

Oluwabengz:


So if I stop driving on Uber, food will disappear on my table. Is Uber the only thing that can bring food to a Nigerian's table abi, seriously
Jokes on you bro

Xneg:


I don't get it? So anyone that has driven for uber and stops driving will go hungry? GAZZUZZ and others on the fence must be very hungry right now.

dru23:


Let's talk reality.. In order for that to happen , it has to be a combine effort.. But in a situation that uber is putting food on people's table it will be hard to do .. Too many are gaining from uber than are not gaining.... If uber parks up now, now, now do you know how many will be unemployed? Because of the technology uber has created, we need uber more than they need us ... Lagos is not even their biggest African market.. And keep in mind uber is well know around the world.. Well know than any other app. Uber is brand, and because of that foreigners feel more comfortable with using uber

Oluwabengz:


If you think drivers are not putting food on their table, goan ask why they usually send mail to drivers that stopped driving on Uber/Bolt for over a month to ask why they haven't been driving. Abi you think say na cos them care about the driver

The epistle you wrote doesn't change the fact that both parties put food on each other's table. But if you think otherwise, no sh!t bro.

Epphy:


You both are seeing things from different angles.
I guess you're a fellow Economist .
People have given up on this country, protests isn't gonna work. More than half of people doing Uber are using it as stop-gap until they find something better. People that complain here feel Uber may decide to work on their negative mentions to improve and also another reason for the rants is to share experience & testimonies
Maybe Naija is a 10th world country sef. I follow join people who may never come back to stay except things get better (na to come dey visit family & friends). I go come back after retirement sha

Oluwabengz:


Hello sir, both parties are putting food on each other's table and helping each other's life.

LOL, I don't need to lie to you to convince you. For me, the question to be answered regarding you is this:

Would you be registering early or would you be joining the crowd much later?

That's how confident I am God sparing our lives.

Cooladex:
This one weak me.

MoonlightDrive:
.

I belong to one of this ehailing whatsapp group, they keep on spamming us with message to patronize one of the indigenous local ehailing companies, sadly they are all in for the money... Any driver foolish enough to believe that they really care about you is in for a long thing. They should go build their satellite, they should go build their phones, why not even build the cars or parts that is used on the platform. How can you be claiming indigenous when all the tools used is at least 99% foreign. Honestly i get tired of the phrase patronise us we are local we have your best interest.

Glad Uber has quietly shut them up with the 3% commission, if they are truly local and care about our interest let them indigenously hit us with a 1% commission rate, then we will know that they are really here for the drivers' interest.

They even can not see the handwriting on the wall, that it is in their own collective interest to all merge together and form one strong indigenous ehailing app company that can at least give Uber/Bolt a chase for their money. Greed and Pride will not let them tow this path, until it is too late.

Indigenous ehailing companies see easy money and they are all forming saviour of the Nigerian Apps drivers.

Indigenous ko, indigo ni!

maclatunji:

Megadrop:
So If you are on a 9 to 5 job u will quit because ur push for a salary increase didn't sail through?

lekbel09:
I don't talk much here, but I noticed a trend about people who are always complaining about this uber business not being profitable , i dont wanna mention names tho this same people have actually been driving as far back as 2016 till dis present day, if the thing nor dey profitable am pretty sure they would have quit.

My point is u guys shouldn't try to discourage others abeg, let's learn from each other.Guys like jessusson2020 are trying even if I don't like the way he insults people.


In other news, abeg where romeo3,ogunvic41 dey?

dru23:


Are u aware that uber is now 3% percent commission now ? So I think uber is trying to be fair ...I just feel that if something does not pay person and u try to fix . You quit and look for something better.. Obviously the shouting and screaming has not worked. So the best thing is to look for an alternative... I can't come and kill myself.. Have done my part to help drivers that work for me. I do all my expenses both minor or major .. So I try to contribute in my own little way.

pappy2000:




corrolla or matrix

GidiWoodsMan:


Just make sure you get the technical part of the business right. GPS/map-navigation/billing, once you do that right you can kick uber/bolt out of Nigeria.

Scholar212:
Anyone here who does fleet management, A friend wants to put up his Honda accord 2010 model for uber, lives in Benin so someone who is reliable with uber or taxify is needed.
NB: the car will be moved down to lag once everything works out well as planned.. Taxify is not yet viable in Benin here

dru23:


Same goes for drivers, drivers won't undestand how car owners borrow, sweat ,sacrifice just to buy a car.. And Nigerian banks are not loan friendly to small business owners.. And the high rate on loans basically kills a business.. Than you have some not all ,crazy driver thinking because you gave him a car to drive, he is now doing the owner a favor, better yet driver drives and damages the car. Dumps it for owner
Seriously if drivers can just walk into a bank and ask for a loan .. Especially the conditions you have to go through.. Only if drivers can experience that ..

jarkbauer:



It will be too bad if there is no surge on days like these.

I'm very sure Uber Nigeria will die soon

franksam2009:
seriously car owners won't understand until they drive and see for themselves, I was among the car owners bashing rental guys earlier until I drove and see 4 myself,
People work their ass off day and night, the waist pain, leg pain, life threatening risk involved at the end struggle to pay up a person relaxing/sitting in his comfort zone and end up saving 15-20k for himself ..
and the PON PON guy is busy jubilating thinking he has made it in life

Did you ask yourself what the person sitting at home did to make the 1.5m or 2m?
But since they decided to drive on rental, there's also no point complaining, it's either you drive or return car owner's keys simple

carixma:
I wan give u expo. But nah ur email i wan send am, if u can provide one. It’s 3 things that are involve to get more trips on Taxify.

Josiah360:


Buy a Tokunbo Honda Civic 2005 for between 1.1m to 1.3m, use and sell as Nigerian used car for between 600k to 800k
Buy a Tokunbo Toyota Corolla 2005 for between 1.7 to 1.9m, use and sell as Nigerian used car for between 1.1m to 1.3m
In both cases, the car sold for about 500 to 600k less than Tokunbo price

Now, talk to me again about second hand value.

PS: the above statement assumes that both vehicles are properly maintained

Josiah360:


I never asked for help in the first place. I simply stated the obvious.

Josiah360:


You buy it cheap, you sell it cheap. You buy it high, you sell it high. So all this talk about resale value doesn't make sense to me.

Having said that, I agree that Toyota is the best for the job in terms of reliability. Even at that, I can only recommend 3 Toyota models: Corolla, Matrix and Yaris.

jesusson2020:


I never bought fuel 30-35k.

Maximum fuel not more than 20-25 weekly, then I'm making more.

You guys are just village bully.

I don't do any other job apart from Uber. So if I'm not making money as you frustrated elders claim. I won't be with Uber.

I know I pay my weekly rental without default, AND still save 20k weekly.

pope191, when that elder Quitnotice that claim, he started with Uber from the good old days, doesn't know Uber don't post earnings with Uber commission, nobody noticed it, was totally ignored...

Xneg have warn you guys not to pay attention to me, still he quote me all the time.

I'm so sorry guys I can't reply all of you, from site engineer, to Quitnotice house agent. AND BANK MANAGERS. keep ur old career aside, your new career and job title is Uber driver.

QuitNotice:
You don't know something so basic and you are dragging shoulders with the ogbologbos. I pity you. I will take your insults because I am dealing with someone like you.
Before you do a business next time, do proper research.
But las las, you will hide in shame in this thread in 1-2 months time. Let's bet...

Williams004:


Can I get a Camry for 600k that isn't refurbished? I don't mean a pencil light ooh.

And pls is a Camry pencil light 2000 accepted on the uber platform?

Williams004:


Is Toyota the only car that can guarantee success in this business? What other options do o have?

Thanks
