Me personally I can't take break.. I can't be suffering at an old age o .. This money must be made, or I die trying.... Sleep for the weak bro ... the rich only sleep less than 8hours a day so who are to be sleeping 8hrs day... you just have to work smart

If you drive for a living then you will know that driving isn't easy therefore you need to always take a break even if the car is urs or u are on rental especially if it's In a very unorganized and traffic laden city like Lagos. Dangote that you mentioned in ur post does he drive for a living? Driving is a very strenous work and it weakens the brain and gradually drains the body out. Even Chisco bus drivers take breaks how much more a ridesharing driver.. well, ur comments atimes make me want to believe that you are yet to understand this work irrespective of the fact that you own vehicles on the platform.

Hello house, I Just started driving on uber. I have picked up two different persons at different times and location only to get at the end of the trip "onyinye owes 500 naira" .. Pls help me to understand what's happening

This is not well explained sir, can we see the trip details from ur app pls

Please has anybody experienced this, at times riders call comes to my Airtel number and the number is not the registered number on my Uber and Bolt accs. The registered number on both apps is a glo line and whenever the Airtel rings after accepting a request i will know it's the rider and when I check the glo line phone it's either its off mistakenly or no network on it and Tax ify and Uber already confirmed I have only the glo line on my acct.

sconp:
That road is fast becoming a nightmare o, about 2weeks ago na bike I take escape there from magboro to berger.

Last week Thursday, inward Lagos was free but outward was hell around 7:30pm

I dey fear that road for evening and I need pass am soon.

Any trip beyond Opic is a no no for me.

pope191:
I'm in sifia pain right now, since morning 8k (9 trips) even rider were complaining about low fare, from freedom way to midland court chevron 1k... I just weak, one more trip to collect my 4k. No driving tomorrow till if thy spirit leads on Monday

My bro no be only you o, the thing tire everybody. Did a trip two days ago from Ajao estate to Gbagada 900naira! How do they expect us to pay bills and also put the car in a good condition with such low fares. I have decided to always use my riders app to check how much I will gross at the end of each trip before embarking on the trip and if the fare no make sense I cancel straight. I cant do unprofitable trips any longer

julietromeo:
Has anybody gotten cancelation fee on bolt?

Its not gonna be possible sir

darmilolah:
Riders no longer call. It's annoying. Yesterday evening I was at home and playing with app around 5:30pm. Some request entered my phone. I accepted all the request. I patiently wait to hear My Phone ring but that didn't happen.

I end up calling 3 of them. La bang, la cancel.

After 7mins got another one and I decided not to call. Rider too didn't call even after I swipe my arrive now.

You won't believe rider did not call till i cancel the request this morning around 7am.

How did we get here. What is the solution?

Yes, have observed it. I now spend more on call cards than before when riders do call but now they are waiting for driver to call. A lot of riders have mentioned to me that Taxiify drivers don't call but uber driver's do.

pope191:
Ah notice Bolt have reduce dia fare again, trip I use to do 1800/2000, ending at 1300, I just deh strong face for rider since morning. Time up don deh come small small

Are u just noticing, they have moved everybody to Lite, I used to be on Bolt but i now receive requests on lite. I seriously do not know what they tend to gain when they keep on slashing fares.

BAZ001:
Mine is opposite I've been owing taxify since last week.
Since Monday till now on uber is cash
I dey pray for card trip now to dey go deposit they hard me. Since morning it's cash rider just dey carry my change go.

Too much of cash trips is dangerous especially when you are on rentals.

izzou:
Card trips are becoming more rampant these days

Is anyone noticing it?

Yes o, I mentioned it last week here. Thats Bolts only way of pulling their money out from the hands of drivers hence the high number of card trips. I hate card trips on Bolt but love it on Uber. The most annoying is seeing a trip of 500 or 400 on card.

izzou:
Dolphin mostly.

When a morning trip takes me to VI, instead of joining the crowd of drivers at Oniru, I simply pass Awolowo way to Dolphin and position. Most times, they are going back to VI

So I just repeat the same process. The fares are usually from #800 to #1100. With a corolla, fuel consumption wouldn't count. It's better than parking with the numbers at Landmark

On Monday, I got Lagos island. The guy say make I wait take am to Magodo. Got to Magodo, he picked up something in less than a minute and asked me to take him back Na so I come back Dolphin come position again

Don't tell anybody oh

Dolphin na sure place for mornings especially with long trips to Ikeja and most of those trips come from those tall buildings. The constant flooding of that area that has refused to go away made me to stop going there.

mrjaydee:
Elders pls advise.. 12k from shomolu to agbara estate NYSC side. To and fro.. leaving by 9am..be back before 2pm...is it a good deal or I should negotiate higher?

P.s I drive 03 corrolla.

Urgent response needed
Thanks.

Its not about the money but about the well being of the vehicle after the trip. In the event of a damage during and after the trip 12k won't even be able to do it. It's like you don't know where Agbara is? Just be ready to come back with ur bumpers in ur trunk coupled with a leaking exhaust and bad linkages. Very very terrible road, about the worst have passed. But if you insist pls pass Igbo elerin side but not at 12k.

Gentlelife50:
I end trip for the past 20 minutes and the rider has been on call and said I should wait. He is still here in my car making calls and it's card trip ooo. What do I do, a trip of #600

Very simple, next time tell the rider that U have gotten a request and you need to leave asap. You can even fake a call join am sef, that's what I usually do when a rider at destination point start delaying

walemust:
Interested parties should apply asap https://www.nairaland.com/5172317/rẹ-Uber-Partner-lagos-please

Na so e easy? 30k from Mon to Sat ontop a 2.4 litre engine. Make una fear God. Well na fence go settle am Las las

jpworld:
My broda, I can see frustration all over you. Change ur mentality and life will be much better.

Enough of these trash gentlemen, please let's concern ourselves with the purpose of this thread and not derail it!

izzou:
Phone beeps

Rider: Where are you?
Me: I'm inside the Forte oil on Ikorodu road, just after you join from Jibowu
Rider: Please come back to Jibowu
Me: You'll be patient for me to turn at Ojuelegba

Rider keeps quiet for few seconds

Rider: There's no Forte oil on Ikorodu road
Me: I'm inside the Forte oil
Rider: Oga, there's no Forte oil there. (Trying to argue with someone around her)

Me: Yes ma'am, truly there no Forte oil there.

Cancels ride and zoom out of the Forte oil

Well, she's right there's no FO on Ikorodu road inwards Jibowu, the FO is at Empire by Agege motor road but some rider can be very impatient sha

jesusson2020:
If I sing Uber still pay, did I sing it for you? You have attacked me here as if I'm the one that collect your wife, or we are in a competition.

My senior driver, why not respect yourself.

Its practically unfair to mention words like this here. This is a faceless forum nonetheless you shouldn't use it as an avenue to insult people my bro. I have read all your writeups in trail and I make bold to say that your energy as a young uber driver is influencing so many bad decisions hence your steady outburst on a lot of people on this thread.

Posting your earnings on Uber is purely your decision and by extension serves as a motivation to the newbies and particularly those that are weary in the business but all in all I think kind of done in bad faith.

You should learn to respect people's opinion I think it will go a long in helping to shapen your approach to certain issues as a man. You don't drag people's private life into matters that are of no concern to their private life.

lakkyflow:
Sir honestly I wrote all these based on what I have heard, seen and read here .. Been doing private and company stuff a long time .. I even drove DANFO weekends.. I have Open a tear rubber car and for good 3 years with serious marketing on daily basis , No dents or accident issues .. I MAINTAIN A CAR TO THE CORE THAT THE OWNER WILL SMILE WHENEVER HE SEES IT..

You and I both stay in Lagos and we both know that it's nearly impossible not to have dents on cars while driving around Lagos during peak and off peak hours and for the fact that you have even driven danfo before points to the fact that you are definitely not what you present to be.

eherbal:
Uber will be reducing fares very soon. their agents are here trying to ginger "lazy drivers". this here nigga is their handler. pls stop giving credence to him.the more we respond to his post ,the more we fuel his aim.most of us here have made more than he did in a day in 6hrs.we didn't come here to show off.
let's wait for Ubers reduction,then we know the next move to make.pls ignore jesusson2020. he's a mole,and we should be careful what is divulged here.thanks .The Almighty bless our hustle .

One very chilled bottle of Heineken for you sir for this. What do you expect from a bricklayer that is used to kpon kpon under very hot sun and suddenly finds himself in an ac car making cool bah. He is a paid agent and will surely go the way of Fahrenz.

jesusson2020:
To be honest, Uber pay better than bank job.

Is better I drive Uber than work in a factory.

One of my co worker who previously worked in a factory, has inform his formal colleagues, to go learn how to drive. If you say Uber is slavery, then factory work will be what?

Meanwhile I have a full day rest yesterday, after doing offline to akure go and come.

I have already remit my 35k weekly rent this morning. Whatever I make from today to Sunday will be in my pocket.

Don't allow those saying Uber is slavery drag you back, go out there and start making money.

Apostle will hear of this!

Fake 1k notes in circulation and Uber drivers are their target. Guys pls beware. A friend got paid with fake 3k notes yesternite.

Please, why is it that most gals/oloshos going on a date especially in the night always have this strong weed smell oozing from their body immediately they step into the car. Got home yesterday and wifey was like what's that smell, have you starting smoking!

pope191:
I'm exhausted, like sleeping for the rest of the week... Yesterday I was joking in my mind like this work don tire me, my ears are not mine again, things girl's says on phone to question they ask "how do I smell? Does it look like I've smoked? Smell it" Frown face* what's my own now... Can make one have tummy upset.

After a good outing yesterday, around 10pm, got a trip going to ikeja from VGC, happy me, prayer got answered. Just few miles 2 approach 3MB, I don't know what punched my tyres (few weeks old), came down to check, need to change tyre. Open boot, no air in spare tire, had to manage and destroy the tyre to Yaba to have it fix. I woke this morning to realised spare is bad, had to get another tyre, spending around 6k. Head on to Ikorodu this morning, notice steering got hard to turn around the road that leads to Ijede, serpentine belt slipt into 2 (one of the Boris in pulley), had to fix that, buy new belt, spending close to 14k today

It is well.... Profit of 2days gone in a day, it ain't easy, tomorrow is another day

Situations like this will only make you stronger so cheer up bro and fire up. Back2back trips fall on you this weekend.

Cooladex:
I actually used 3k fuel to make this today. I'm actually scared about my cars low consumption of fuel.

Well, before nko how much were you expecting to make from 3k fuel? Don't also forget that ur fuel light I believe wasn't up as at time of refuelling. More of this. God bless ur hustle. Daddy Dru23 likes things like this small time now he will start singing your praise consequently offering to get you a car

Saintoscar:
Its all your fault bros. Its advised that before going out in the morning make sure to check your car and confirme its in good condition. If you had check you'd have known your extra tire is bad and fixed it. In that case you wouldn't have damage your new tire. Take it as a lesson always check your vehicles before moving out. Car wey work perfectly today fit disappoint you tomorrow.

Sadly, we are too busy and time concious in this part of the world that we hardly have the time to do all this routine checks in the morning. Come to think of it, It could have happened to anybody no matter how down to earth you are with checking of these things. What about when ur Kazeem forgets to return back your wheel spanner or jack after work and along the way you have a flat, so invariably it's not always as a result of human error or negligence. It happens when it wanna happen.

jesusson2020:
Yes.

Since I join Uber January 2019, I have been doing well and earning well.

I have been paying my 35k rent, with no story. Been with the same car for almost 5 months.

I think Uber has given me a great opportunity.

I have stop listening to negative comments about slavery this, slavery that.

I think from your submission it clearly shows that you are a staff of Uber or an aggrieved car owner on this thread seeking to prove to drivers that huge earnings and 35k weekly remmitance is still possible in this time despite drop in earnings . Same week you started ehailing was the same week you netted 100k! How come you are still on 35k up till now if truly you are a driver. Can we pls see weekly earning from when you started till now. Just be informed that display of dashboard will not change the perception of drivers about Uber being slavery.

Too many card trips today, what's happening? So so annoying, anyone experienced this today? Out of almost 19k only 530naira was the only cash I collected very annoying biko!! I declined a lot of card requests yet they kept coming.

itguy1:
Please House, I still need a car on hire purchase and I don't mind if its Nigerian Used or foreign used as long as the engine is in good shape. I prefer Toyota corolla or camry. Weekly remittance will not be a problem. Drop your number and I will call you

Nigerian used on hp? Think am well bro

EaRtHgUy:
Guys, have being in VI now for more than 30 mins yet no trip. pls where can I get trips here

Bros move out of there it's too early to get a trip there, go to Lekki or Jakande or any residential area you know

ebiye55:
Hmmm. What say you?

The advert is now on jobsites sef asking people to signup as drivers and earn over 140k. Total rubbish

Phori:
Hello guys.. Please I need ur take on this... I'm having an issue with accommodation where I am in Surulere ... The likely alternative for me is igando... But I Donno how the e-hailing business is over there.. Hope I won't joonz myself moving that far... Drivers in dat axis Biko Watz up


P.S I'm a driver.

Most drivers come from farther places than Igando self yet they still cash out. This work is about grace and hardwork and not were you stay. Just plan your day and time Las Las you go dey alright.
