W126 S Class, Volkswagen Santana and Peugeot 505 Evolution.


(We also had a blue Peugeot 404 Station Wagon).

The Golf GTI should be on that list.

Golf should not be on the list na, it's still new oga

Mr Poster you missed Toyota Crown, Toyota Cresida, Mercedes Gwagon 1980s models

Buhari using the head of all AFONJAS. Election don reach na, he needs their vote. After that, Fiam!

Okoyeebos:
When your fathers went to fight their foolish war, they. felt good. When they lost like they always do and came back to collect their properties, the people of SS Nigeria chased your fathers away like stray dogs. Did you hear that a single yoruba man held back the properties of Biafrans?

You're eternal ingrates who do not deserve good deeds to be done to you. The Hausas and the SS know how to treat your madness.

Igbos are already treating your madness in Lagos by buying all your father's lands squeezing you and all your family a one room. Go and wait for 100 years then come back for your papa land. Common Ladipo, your govt could not chase them from there, na to revoke CofO, oya na...

Yoruba4Life:
All me I care about is all Igbos should be sent back to their jungle. . Those pple are animals.. so uncivilized.

Hahahhahahaha, this guy will soon die o, what your small god, Tinubu can't do, na your papa wan do am? Joe Igbokwe has told us how to take over Lagos State govt house because none of all these past and present governors of Lagos State are from Lagos State so an Igbo man is also free to occupy that seat. When the time comes you must accept it, no option for you.

Some wailers are already crying below me
Dino should respect his old age

As for the wailers below me, take your protest to any police station close to you.

Nobody protested and protesting Fulani herdsmen and Bokoharam Killing you people, sacking you from your villages, it's this drama by NPF People will waste their time and energy protesting... Shey the people they arrested whom they claim Dino has been giving arms to, have escaped from custody, hahahahahaha

yarimo:
post evidence where how and when police arrange those guys to defame MELAYE or keep your explanations for GODS

Zombie, post evidence where Melaye was giving them guns and telling them operation to embark on. This useless money they pay you people, is it what you'll use to become something in life? The person paying you stipend to defend his mischievous acts on social media thereby destroying your future and that of your children, his children are living large abroad with very bright future. A prostitute does not know what she's doing to herself until she grows old.

*LAND USE CHARGE: AMBODE SHOULD GO BACK TO SCHOOL*

I have watched Governor Ambode’s video where he made a failed attempt to defend the obnoxious land use charge.

To start with, Governor Ambode does not know mathematics and does not understand economics. And he claims to be a chartered accountant.

The growth in Land Use Charge from N50,000 to N250,000 is 400% increase. Current Inflation rate is 15%. How can you increase a charge by 27 times the current inflation rate?

An increase of 400% overnight is called financial shock. When financial shock to people’s income is higher than inflation rate, people are effectively impoverished

If the government wants to go from N50,000 to N250,000, it must be *graduated* over the 15 year period for which the rate should have been reviewed as shown below:
Year-0 (2017-last year): N50,000
Y1-2018: N63,333
Y2-2019: N76,666
Y3-2020: N89,999
Y4-2021: N103,333
Y5-2022: N116,667...
...
Y10-2027: N183,333
...
Y15-2032: N250,000...
...
Y16-2033: N250,000
Y17-2018: N250,000
...

If this 400% land use charge is enforced, all landlords and commercial property owners will increase their rents/fees thereby further impoverishing the people.
1. A landlord will increase his rent,
2. The event centre operator will increase his hall rental fee for a conference/symposium/wedding/birthday
3. Owners of shopping complexes will increase the rents of the shops they have let out
4. Commercial property owners will increase rents on lease office spaces
5. Business/shop owners paying a higher rent on leased office spaces will pass on the higher rent to their customers by increasing the prices of their goods and services.

This is how inflation worsens and people are systematically impoverished to fund Tinubu’s money-hungry pocket.

We must bear in mind that Ambode has already increased BRT/LAGBUS fare, Toll tariff, water rates, vehicle licence, introduced Radio tax, vehicle registration, road worthiness etc.
Now Land Use Charge!

This is the same governor whose government created and legislated monopolies —Alpha Beta (revenue collection), Visionscape (waste management).

Where in the world does government create and legislate monopoly in a free-market economy?

Ambode must go back to school to re-learn economics

Are people made for the government or government is made for the people?

Must people be taxed to death because we want to feed Tinubu’s Alpha Beta?

ayusco85:
funny how no one knows the Anglican doctrines for taking holy communion. you have to be confirmed by the bishop after attend cathekism class (pardon the spelling) for between 3-6 months. the card is proof that you are confirmed. there are several conditions for taking holy communion in the Anglican communion

It's not true. You're not Anglican so stop saying what you don't know. So someone who is 40years old that had his confirmation at the age of 12 will be carrying his card every time?

kingsleyugo41:
I am a member of Anglican church, traveled to a place where i decided to worship with an Anglican church, when the holy communion was going on i decided to go and receive holy communion on getting there, I was asked to go back because i didn't put on white shirt or a card to show.

pls, my follow Aglicans is it right?

You're a big lier. I don't know what youths of these days derive from tanishing the image of God in the name of civilization or thinking they're wise.

I am an Anglican and in the history of Anglican Church, there's never and till now there's nothing like a card for Holy Communion nor not receiving holy Communion because you're talking member.
I you really attended an Anglican Church today which I know you didn't, (maybe someone was telling a story which you didn't get properly and rush here to claim you were the one who attended), you would hear when the vicar will announce that the holy Communion is for Anglicans who have been confirmed, for Methodists and for those from Roman Catholic who have been admitted into the Anglican Communion, nothing else. Nobody mandates you to wear white shirt also. If you were turned back then it must be(for ladies) improper dressing or lipstick.

So OP stop bringing fire upon your head by lieing against the church of God thinking you're brave.

If you get a request for for pick up at local airport (MM2), is there any special way or place to park before rider shows up? Also are there any form of tasks force that disturb cars suspected to be Uber both local and International airport?

iyaegin:
Either your phone is not compatible or you have poor data connection.
Boost Promos are viewed on the home page not earnings page.click on promo and then it takes you further to the breakdown of the current and upcoming boosts.

Ok, thanks. I've seen and opened it.

protocol:
it seems u are in the wrong market. Position well bro.guys, let us learn how to make gud use of boost on Uber. Yesterday, there was up to 1.8* boost. I drove a client from phase 1 to ojodu and it was 56oo after Uber deductions. I had my destination trip but I did not use it cos there was no boost around mainland. So I went back empty to the land of opportunity. Getting to VI where boost was 1.8x, I hit another one to lbs. abt 4000. Seems no boost there. I came back to Vi empty. Put my destination trip to Ikeja... Learn how to calculate this work with Uber. If I don't see any meaningful boost on Uber I do Taxify. Read the Uber boost table a nite before u set out to work so as to position well. Today is another great day on Uber and even Taxify. Learn how to sacrifice some fuel in other to position well cos time is attached to these promotion s.

Please where can I get the Uber boost table. Promotion" under earnings on my driver's app isn't opening.

chillex8:
You are doing fine.
Guess it's Taxify+Uber. .
I drive only on UBER..

12hours daily max.

Wow, this is first time a seeing someone driving only on Uber and it's encouraging to me. Why do you prefer driving Uber only? What type of car are you using?

N400k, serious buyer.

dru23:

LETS KEEP LAGOS MOVING

How can one target long trip on Uber, of course when request comes in, you won't know the rider's destination till you pick up so pls throw more light on how to get long trips.
Thank you.

I don't know why some people reason this way. Experience they say is the best teacher and every business has a strategy and best tools for doing it.
This thread is meant for sharing experiences & learning as it concerns Uber/Taxify business.
Of course one can disagree with one another gently and respectfully to agree on the same page as well. Moreover it will be so foolish of me to argue and disagree with someone over what the person has used while I'm yet to use same too.

Everyone who wants to be sincere with him or herself knows that Ogunvic41 & Romeo3 have done a lot of good for people on this thread. They were once and even still Uber/Taxify drivers with great on-the-job experience. They have been assisting a lot of people, giving out ways and strategies on how to succeed on this business which every active Nigerian Uber/Taxify driver on this thread can confirm the helpfulness of the inform they give out.

Their strategies in succeeding in this business which they were dishing out were not only the time and days to work, where or location to position, type of phone and Service provider to use, but also the type of vehicle MOST SUITABLE FOR UBER/TAXIFY BUSINESS IN NIGERIA but it seems some people, due to their biased mind are now thinking and seeing what those guys are doing from different perspective.

My cousin has used 2002 Peugeot 406 for over 8years. He sold it in 2015 and bought 2010 Toyota Camry which he also use for Uber. Till today he has been regretting why he sold the 406.
What am I saying, only those who live in Nigeria, own and drive cars in Nigeria, especially those that have used different types of cars in Nigeria, and are familiar with Nigerian roads will concur with what Ogunvic41 and Romeo3 are saying.

The type of vehicle for Transports biz is different from the type you use for pleasure.
I use 2001 Toyota Camry which is acceptable by Uber but I don't want to drive it on Uber because the shocks and other underneath components are too fragile. My friend has 2014 Toyota Avensis and quickly registerd it on Taxify and Uber. Under 4months he spent more than N100k replacing shocks and linkage. After one month he replaced the shocks, a/c had problem, he spent over N112k changing compressor and other a/c components.

I remember sometime someone promoted Hyundai Elantra and I ask, how much is the Engine and transmission sold in the market? Get the price and also ask how much is 406 Engine and transmission sold in the market as well.

Those who want to succeed in this e-hailing business should know that you're in the business to make profit with minimal expenditure on the tools you're using g for the business.
That's my little contribution.

Mercedes Benz Vito is strong but sometimes it gives headache

abitafah:
I'm sure Ogunvic has learnt his lesson the hard way. Yoruba adage says "if person yam don done, the person suppose cover am dey chop". Ogunvic has a good strategy but coming to share the strategy is uncalled for.
Business strategy is supposed to be kept secret. He created this competition for himself and the funny thing is that this enterparrot is using Ogunvic strategy to create his own.

I don't understand, so young people still reason this way? You must be a sadist, enemy of people's progress. Chai!

ogunvic41:
Bro this market is JUST TOO BIG...Lagos is about 25 millions... Uber/taxify don't even have up to 1 million riders...
ITS A BIG MARKET...90% OF MY CLIENTS ARE NOT FROM NAIRALAND,
No one understand my vision...
We are partnering big companies...
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, ITS 2018 WE MAY OVERTAKE UBER NIGERIA...
LETS KEEP LAGOS MOVING

Nice reply brother. Some people are not happy the way you're touching lives of many young people by showing them how to make money on Uber/Taxify. It's only those who understand the nature of this business will teach people the way you're doing and that's why you're progressing and you'll keep progressing. God bless you my brother.

ogunvic41:
A friend on this thread uses 307 for uber and taxify...

Oh, ok. I greet you baba. What do you think about the ride, is she as strong as her brothers 406 & 407.

Romeo3:
Peugeot e10 - 90k
Peugeot e7 - less than 80k.

Driver is fueling don't forget that.

a perfect car won't need anything other than servicing for atleast 4 months. I can vouch for lions. their suspension will last over 6 months.

You cannot own and drive. It's a partnership in the sense that you own the car, he drives.

Peugeot is always better. Why is it that Uber and taxify don't accept Peugeot 307, the one that's like Toyota matrix.

Still available,

dru23:
My guy how far ? You are a finance major. I was thinking that if I were to have over 40 cars that I manage. And I am paying the owners 50k a week. How many fleet managers do you think I will need. And also what do you think I should be paying the mangers. Do you think the company could be run smoothly. And the business will be profitable for me. Since I don't own any of the cars. Better yet I own own only a handful. And do you think this is a matter of quantity over quality.
Your input will be greatly needed . Maybe me and you can start our own fleet company

Why can't you focus on the management of your own fleet of 5cars and pray you get up to 50cars like those you keep attacking. Plse stop all these, you are spoiling the good work some people are doing on this thread. People like us who are newbies on this business are learning a lot from this forum. Are you enemy of progress? Are you angry at the way people like Ogunvic, Romeo and other good fellows here are helping people? Stop making fool of yourself in public. It doesn't worth it. Manage whatever God has given to you and be happy. Allow others be whether they are stupid or not, it's not your business.

Please I am here to learn not to read antagonized posts.

Princeofilorin:
heat how?

It only applies to vehicles with Diesel Engine. To heat, you just turn the ignition on and leave it for like 15seconds before starting, that's all.

Offer still valid

Need more information? Indicate or call my number.

ogunvic41:
Comparing 406 and kia Rio? No way...

Lol... If it's not the LION, it can never be like LION.

Skyfornia:
Is this the type you heat before starting?

Yea.

This vehicle is very durable, can go to any part of Nigeria now with no issues. Has a very strong Diesel Engine with manual transmission.
Nothing to fix, just buy and drive coz it's currently working.
