Bro you missing the point..this has nothing to do with poverty huh huh..if you are a driver on the platform then you know that you aint a salary earner who get paid at the end of the month..this same 1k trip if replicated 7 times from 12am till 5am is 7k already..thats how you get paid and if you doing this every day that how you earn..so in essence you earn every trip not every month...you have to protect urself in every trip because if anything bad is to happen it will on a trip...

Beside its a state of awareness that you should carry everywhere you go esp at night..you don't have to be an uber driver before you get jumped esp around that ojota axis at night..if u kno u kno..its a state of mind brother..people have been killed for not being aware of their environment...

Some people that have entered one chance buses wont have if dere observed the occupants of the bus..sometimes you cant tell but honestly most times these thieves are to lazy to alternate their dynamics so its pretty much the same packaging that a well trained/observant individual will detect and avoid...

Honestly I have this same state of mind even during the day sef talkless of night..its heighted when its gets dark because na den all this evil spirits like dey come out to play grin

Its like crossing the road and not looking left and right or being engrossed with your fone while crossing..atleast pay attention and do your due diligence while crossing so if you get hit by a car everyone and even you sef will know you tried grin
We need to get together for a drink one day

Positioning in places like shrine is good for finding trips, but risky. So here's how I go about it. I receive a trip, I call you. I ask where you are going to, how many riders, are we branching anywhere or going direct, are we picking other persons on the way or not, who is the person we are picking?

Then when the guys come, they will meet me standing by the car. I use eye gauge Dem as Dem dey come. If my spirit no gree, "Sorry guys, I can't go on this trip again. My fuel pump is acting up" ( then I try to start the car without success (security things)). I cancel, and if there is cancellation fee, I give you the #400 straight up. If there are more than 2 guys, I'm not going. If there is a guy and a lady, I will go, but the guy has to sit in front with me. And I tell them this very frankly, that it's for security sake. 2 guys and I will quickly evaluate and trust my instinct. Any number of ladies, I will go. In all cases, I don't stop along the road to poo, pee or buy anything. It's midnight, I won't stop.

Then I have a contingency plan. I'm at alert. There's this Parker pen I keep just beside the gear lever. If you think its a pen, you are on your own. There's also some twisted 20mm wire I keep on the dashboard. It's not koboko, and it's not on that dashboard for fun. It's for garrotting. I position my rear mirrors in such a way that I can see what's going on inside the car with my occupants. I keep the music very low. You need to be able to use your ears 100%. If you want me to blare music as we go, I'm not going.

Then your car is a defensive tool. If anyone in the car lunges at you, there's a way you can swerve that will get everyone in the car off balance; except you because na you dey make things happen. This will buy you time. My method will not work for everybody but I'm stubborn like that. If you will kill me, I will kukuma carry you go with me.

Toh, I don talk reach.

I realize most drivers dont know whst it means to do night.To the old Gees in the house. What do we call night?

Let's school the newbie small. I know we have been abuse before that we are over pampered baby. That experience is not necessary in driving on Uber. grin

For the sake of innocent newbie. Let's help.
Position with sense. For your personal safety and earnings guarantee. Think, "Who would be moving around town over night? Where would the person be? Where would the person be going?". The answers will tell you where and where to position for safety.

5 star hotels, VIP night clubs, VIP restaurants, (Kidnappers or robbers cannot afford these joints), Bank Head Offices, VIP and General Hospitals, Motor Parks (Eastern fleets), Venues where there are shows going on; etcetera

This is my estate (Gowon). Ehailing drivers play a lot here. Requesting fake rides and cancelling. In my hey days, I had their medicine.
I didn't learn tankers and bombers in secondary school for nothing. When I show up in the hood and I'm looking for a ride, I chase all of them out first.

In general, the e-hailing vehicle rental business wasn’t really a bad investment but fell short of expectations. It became worse since the turn of the year and I chose to exit before drivers run me mad. I decided to take stock and summarised below:

Cost.
Vehicle purchased in July, 18 (lucky to get a very good deal) – N1m
Repairs and maintenance (tyres, tracker, insurance, servicing for 7 months) – N300k
Total expenditure – N1.3million

Returns.
Total receipts for 7 months from 3 drivers – N586k (average of 83k per month..chai...instead of 120k)
Car retired and sold in March – N1.2m
Total receipts - N1.786m

Net profit – N486k.

Imagine if I was unable to sell the car at a good price, na loss be that.

The current state of the business is manageable for drivers driving their own cars. Between January and February (9 weeks), I received only 120k, which makes an average of 13k per week (even after I reduced rentals to 20k/week). Sharing between drivers and owners on rentals will continue leading to fight, as a driver will only pay after satisfying himself.

Wish y’all good luck, I’ve jumped to the other side of the fence.
Gospel truth. All through.

Please what other kind of oil can I use to service my big daddy Camry the car is toks but it has 200k + mileage e dey burn oil small small so I used mobile 1 5w30 but bosses the oil small xpensive and e dey short so what oil can I use again that I can service monthly
At 200k+ miles, be preparing to change the engine if it is your car. If it's a rental car, drop it ASAP. It will land you in trouble.
Toh.

Sorry bout the accident brother..please lets stop all this...350 naira trip is bad but if you do it 20 times in a day that's 7k..even if production cost (fuel) is 3k isn't that 4k at hand?


Uber bizness still puts food on the table besides he should have comprehensive insurance..whatever your hand findeth to do..do it well..this bizness still puts food on the table for many..how much is minimum wage..if you are not happy with the fare then QUIT...


This bizness is just to keep body and soul together while you work on the permanent site grin

Sorry once again brother that had the accident with the black corolla as highlighted above...it will make you moribund for some days..i only hope you ave comprehensive if not Gods speed...after the cost and you hit the road try and make the money back..

Riders get notifications on their app when you click "collect cash", asking them to pay you the fare amount
DON'T CONFIRM
or better still,
DON'T SLIDE THE "COLLECT CASH" button.

Pls how do you check if your fare is reading while on uber trip
End the trip, DON'T CONFIRM.
The current fare will show. There's a "back" button on the app, NOT YOUR PHONE. Press that back button, you will see the trip still in progress.
Repeat again anytime you want to see the current fare, you will see the fare increasing as time and distance increases.

Don't let the rider see you doing this ooo, rider will think you are playing some gimmick.
