Please, how much is Uber inspection? . It's been a while.

Viking07:
To be honest I think 10k should be the base/average target for any driver. I started this hustle 2 months ago and any day I work full day because I do this part time (on my off days) I must go home with 10k inside my pocket not Uche’s bolt account balance.

It is now a routine that for every 8500-9000(full tank) fuel I buy I must make 10k three times before I refill. And this is just in Abuja with horrible fare, I believe Lagos should be higher.

There are people who net 20,30 even 40k daily, but these are experienced old timers with a long network of offline clients.

Trust me. Driving in Abuja is easier. I have tasted both cities long enough to come to this conclusion. It's easier to get an offline client in Abuja than in Lagos, you know what I'm saying.

What do you mean by horrible fares.? The differences are not really marked from a ₦/Km. perspective. Once there's no multiplier, I don't see any real difference.

make I pity the guy small.....

You still believe the dude....omo you get time o.
Someone who says he's offshore and he still dey hustle you for 100 dollars, it doesn't add up . and which car are they going to clear with 200k. Venza or Camry .
clearance of Toyota corrolla is over 350k.

obalala:
Link how pls ? Get a certification (s) and start applying for jobs, there are a lot of Shortage I.T vacancies abroad , even from LinkedIn they will start approaching you. So which one is the Link youre saying bro?

He was talking of specifics... What kind of certification (s) to become a DA and get a chance to escape from this country . If it's programming,(python n R or sql) what's the fastest pathway... Say in 6 months... And what specific skill set should we aim for.. I think that's what he meant by link.

@ Farmerakinloye6.

Greetings.

Please, what's your take on the locally made manual planter machine for maize as against the use of manual labour for planting maize.

Hey guys, just a short motivation for some1 out there, I remember coming here early last year to find out full details needed to join uber and bolt with my hybrid pruis, (majority said it was risky and all, cos of the cost of maintaining the hybrid), anyway the onus of the post is to encourage everybody out there to have a primary focus on something more long term rewarding aside this hustle. I picked up courses online and everyday I read btw 4am-7am before entering the streets to pick up passengers, by the end of 2021 I did two certifications and started applying online, all these while I was still on e-hailing hustling and VIO showing me pepper.
To cut the long story short I am currently working abroad as a data analyst based on my 1year focus on online courses. Last night a close friend of mine that joined the uber platform thru me also got his first job interview (praying he scales thru) .
In conclusion PLS HAVE A SIDE GOAL AND DO SOMETHING EVERYDAY THAT TAKES YOU CLOSER TO THAT GOAL ( LET THE UBER HUSTLE BE A TRANSIT THING).. have a great week

That's great. Congrats. Driving 247 in Lagos damages ur mental process. You won't be able to think critically.
One lesson I got here: Consistency, take steps towards your future goal daily.

ReadaDream:
....but Bolt said we can decline any trip we don't want to embark on?

Was given a week too.... Bolt is crazy.

Sadly, the health care system is messed up.

oblozzolawrence:
if it ur car... I don't see anything wrong with it instead of just sitting at home doing nothing, boss come to Abuja and see the kinda car some guys and even ladies uses for uber... my friend uses lexus gs300 and gets lots of offline riders with it(plus girls join)..an idle mind is a devil's workshop... Las Las we go dy OK.

Maintenance bro. Bolt/Uber app in Lagos no send Lexus o, 4- 5 trips around baruwa inside, alagbole inner...., Ikorodu will make you change your mind.

davit:
The traffic is from Berger side. Learnt another tanker don fall for long Bridge. God be with you.

For where, I neva move o. I just dey pity guys on indriver rushing mainland trips . Over 1 hr 30 mins in standstill traffic.... No.. I can't subject myself to that kind of torture for peanuts... ..

I will rather wait.....

Who has an idea what's causing the traffic on TMB. From the map, I'm seeing 1 hr 30 mins on the express alone. I don park. , I don't mind waiting till 9 before going home. I detest Lagos traffic... Hrrrgh...

Ghost1994:
Oh now I understand. 25k is okay now hope say you no be that guy wey wan buy 3-5 cars for drivers for his grandma?

The guy actually fled from the thread. Format wey people don use tire.... Format wey don cast..

Pearl1910:
Surge was up on my App from around 10am when that heavy rain was about to start

Boss, there was not much surge on Bolt yesterday, as a typical Sunday. Saturday too, was devoid of surge trips. 1.1× is that one surge?

donfortune48:
Uber/bolt weekly salary account?

Baba, Uber no follow o. Standard salary account, you work, you no work, alert must hit the account.

eyinola:
thanks bro, very easy to use

Wa gbayi. Since I hv been on Kuda. Any small payments, na them I dey use. Very seamless

obinoral1179:
does GT offers to savings account..

Salary account

eyinola:
thanks bro, I just open an acct now but I think i need to put money before they can process the card, I think issuing fee is 1K

D virtual card is free. Yes, you need to put something in the account to kind of activate it. The 1k is still yours. You will see it under the cards column once it has been issued.

ReadaDream:
Yes the loan app. They offer more than loan

Do you have an idea what their loan terms are? Monthly or yearly.. GT offers 1.33% monthly.

eyinola:
ino get kuda

Easy to register bro. From your phone. In 30 mins, you have an account..... You then request for a virtual card. That's what I have been using to pay Gotv, buy electricity units, fund indriver, pay online ads.... It's endless.

ReadaDream:
Loan and payment solution App.

Carbon like the loan app? Never knew they issued cards...

eyinola:
oh okay, how person wan take dey fund indriver bayi

Use Kuda. It's virtual card. Sharply they will send you your details.

@ eyinola. Put your pin n see the outcome. Though mine is visa, I think it's only mastercard that block their services.
If the payment gateway is not domiciled in Russia, payment should still go through.

eyinola:
let me try to credit my acct and see..by the way this new bolt payment option no sweet me at all just that u can now pay on weekends and it will reflect

It's working, I topped up with Kuda after reading through d pages here too around 11.57pm yesterday . I don't think the payment gateway for Indriver is from Russia.

Viking07:
Honestly na “dead driving” dey kill me. Yesterday was terrible. I’m still learning the ropes the hard way.

Bolt go show you veritas university. You won’t know the university is deep inside one village where you will blow back empty till you click start trip.

@ vikings. You must reduce dead driving, you r not burning fuel only. You accrue wear n tear on the car too.

In Fct, long trips will pay you more. With a corolla 07,getting offline clients shouldn't be a prob.

You should understand how the city breathes. e. g. On Fridays, around 12noon - 2pm Central business district ( NNPC towers, CBN HQ, Budget n national planning) is hot.

Likely trips: Idu railway Station, Airport.

Transcorp Hilton too. on Fridays, from 12noon. just drive in , by the time you make two turns within the driveway, one client will flag you down for Airport...

Try n wear nice shirt n trouser, well starched n ironed on these days, even if na kaftan sef, better (you blend more).

OmodavidoX:
41km , 2,900? Omo the money small o

There is less traffic in Abuja... Roads are good n smooth esp in the city centers.

https://www.autonews.com/mobility-report/uber-revises-driver-pay-algorithm-24-us-cities

The need to see destination is global. Even in the US.
If Uber adopts this in Lagos coupling it with the reduced service charge, then, they get back more drivers in droves, which ultimately will get them back to the top spot ( riders gravitate towards the service with more drivers, this has been the secret of Bolt ).

Crvrider:
At least debunk the other ones first and leave this one out, we'll sort this one later.

What is he going to debunk? CR7 has said it all.

I mean all these trouble to send money to an aged parent in Nigeria.

Even here in Naija, there's what is called 'standing order',.

Deposit before you see car,.... his format is quite outdated...

@ Baz 001. Congrats.....

Please, filling stations around Ogba? Which one is currently selling?

donfortune48:
This one pass 4.0 surge oh!

Abi saka still dey work?

P.. waiting.... Over an hour + @ least But d guy get mind sha..... Shey cos of this money, bar that can't build you a house.

GeneralZodd:
.

I disagree with You on this.

No be everybody wey dey into crypo are into G. My cousin's friend who is Medical doctor in Dublin started this Crypto investment fews years back in IRELAND, he is a billionaire in Naira as I speak. My cousin told me his friend used to buy different Cryptos at their earliest stages and keep them. From Bitcoin to Dogecoin to Etherum to cadano etc. The Shiba coin I just invested in, he was the one that introduced my cousin to it few months ago and the coin is growing massively. My $ 100 investment is now $230 in space few of days. I wonder it would be in few years time.

All this info, I am not supposed to be dishing it out here. I just felt I could change lives by sharing it to others here on this thread


If you are equipped the with right information. Crypto fit blow u over night without even doing G.

As For OBiwanne Okeke " Invictus OBi" I knew him back then before FBI arrested him. He made his money through BEC. Business email compromise. He hacked email of one Big company in Yankee and hijacked financial transactions through Wired transfer over ₦11 billion naira. to his Bank account. He was never into Crypto. He was suppose to settle one lady when visited U.S, he didn't and he was exposed.

He is Nairalander. Infact FBI traced him through his nairaland account.



2004- 2008, Bnaira those days UNILAG was obviously G boy. I schooled in you UNILAG business Admin department. Bnaira was in faculty of Arts. He was driving one Red range rover then, very loudsy and flashy guy with his dreads back then. I see him on campus those days with customise plate number

G never gave him the kind of money has now Friends wey dey very close him said is Crypto.


I have alot friends who are into G, I know as e dey go but G is never my way. I can never choose that part.

You can make good money with Crypto long-term investment.

What I have learnt from YouTube alone is amazing.

Let's not argue about this. Go and get your facts right. Invictus was nabbed when he went to see his new born baby daughter @ the hospital, he wasn't in United States, the Feds were already waiting for him.

d mop of G guys is pretty straight forward

Have you ever asked yourself why crypto is the favored platform nowadays?

Let me give you a scenario? 8 guys pull a job that brings in 2.5m dollars
If they share, each gets at least 300k dollars a piece.

There is no bank account in Nigeria that will receive such funds without raising a flag from cbn n it's affiliates.

With crypto, it's like a pebble dropping in the sea. It won't be noticed. That's where most Gboys keep their stash now. You don't have to believe it.

GeneralZodd:
Go learn Crypto bro and stop driving the whole of Lagos like headless Chicken.

I carried one Bigboy from Ikeja to Oral Estate, [b]Lekki, the dude was advising me on investing on crytop currencies on a long-term. [/b]He showed me so many things on his phone regarding his investment. I was flabbergasted. Young lad wey never reach 35years don buy house, get expensive cars in his garage. I saw Brabus of ₦50M and 2020 CLA Benz owned by him. Omo fear catch me. This Uber hustle cant make u rich O!. It's good as side hustle.

And what made him show me all these info was when I told him I am looking for a profitable business I can invest like ₦4 million.

@ General zodd.
Your rider is a Gboy, and his affiliates are G boys too. Crypto is the front for most of them.

Crypto is the exchange house for getting their proceeds, then they convert to naira when it's needed

Don't get me wrong, I have always maintained it too that this Uber thing is a stop gap, no future in it.

But believe me, your rider is a Gboy. Most of them on the island are sophisticated and forward thinking unlike the ones around Egbeda, abule egba, iyana ipaja, who just sling small pouches around, club and chase girls.

I will give you an example, Invictus Obi, aka obiwanne okeke (if he was not caught, by now, he also would have been chanting the crypto mantra as one of his investment vehicles).

Heck, the dude even graced the pages of Forbes Africa, but the FBI had put a tab on him for years, they had all the evidence, and they were waiting patiently for him to step on the American soil.

He got too careless and he was nabbed at Virginia. He didn't even go to trial, opted for a plea bargain. That's why his sentence was light.

The other guy you mentioned too is also a front, ask folks in Unilag then. BEC scams were not too common in those days.
