Hello people, I have a few questions please...

From a new Uber business venture:

1. Is 20k per week delivery possible now in this covid period? Is it a good one?

2. Is the driver supposed to do maintenance of the vehicle by himself?

3. Which device is best suited for Uber? iPhone 7, 6, how good are they for these apps?

Thanks so much.

Don't let Uber give you any lamba. A good brand new android phone in price range of 40k plus will do the job.

IPhone 7 or so mite cost up to 100k plus rite now.

100k phone for trips of #1,200 #1,300, even #400, yes #400. . Baba think am well o before you go n sink funds on phone o.

When I was just registerin wt uber, a dude came around n complained to d customer care DT d app locked him out n he can't get trips or so.

Customer care: which phone r using?
Dude: i- phone
Customer care: did you buy it new?
Dude: foreign used
Customer care: you need to change the phone
Dude,:

Guy man just confuse for d place, after some findings, baba buy phone around 55k. So na to dey look for anoda money again for phone.

That 55k will buy a brand new android DT will work just fine. Change go remain sef.

BTW, I use hauwei y6. n na Android.

I haven't gone out today so I wouldn't know much about that area, but most likely it should be flooded.
Incase you have to go just make sure you drive behind a car or stay at the center of the road on the absence of non.

Don't over accelerate when in flood, if possible allow the car to move with the power on D.

Ensure to off your AC system when evee you're driving in the rain.

Aviod every bad and unfamiliar road these period.

Ensure your spare tyer, Jack and wheel spiner are in good condition in this period of the raining season because tyers carries sharp object easily this period.

Turn on your headlamp and hazard light when driving during heavy down pour both during the day and at night, this will enable drivers in the opposite direction and behind to know a vehicle is coming in front of them and in front of them respectively.

Lastly, Don't over speed on high ways because roads are very slippery and tyers easily loose grip when breaks are applied.

To all my co-pilots I wish you all safety, good health and sound mind.

Thanks Baba, I didn't make d trip. How far as per bolt? Are you back?

Seniors, Please, will vgc be flooded around @ dis point in tym.

Hello house,
I have s tokunbo car with check engine light on but the car works fine. Please will l be disqualified by Uber ?

If you car moves wtout issues, n the ac is good. You are doing fine bro. Fire on...

@ JP world @ bigleaf.

The intent is not to knock down anybody's hustle.

Just a heads up for drivers who get request to that axis. Cos by default Google map will take them through the sango toll gate road n rite now. Both axis are terribly bad.

If you get a trip going to that side ( towards sango toll gate) , ensure you don't go beyond 'Clem road'

,( Clem road will lead you back to ijayie/ post office, from there you link up to terry grilllo street n you can find your way.

If you fail to use clem road, then ensure you turn into the 'Alakuko' road, I think it leads to ijayie, I'm not sure.

If you insist going to sango ota. Use the Ekoro/ command road, and link up with the AIT road, that will cut you off from the gullies on the sango-toll gate expressway.

Guys avoid agbado, kola , sango ota axis., place is a mess,

Oko oba road is currently flooded.

Drive wt caution.

I really don't know why they're not pushing their rideshare biz with ads; they've got what it takes to thrive. Maybe govt banning their bikes really hit them hard sha

Its either the guys heading the ocar app don't have experience or the management just sucks.

One of their reps called me about Ocar hitch bla bla... ...

OK. I'm lyk do you have a customer care mail or something, she was ehn you can reach us through this no.

I'm wondering why you wouldn't have a dedicated customer care email platform.

The email platform is a research survey on it's own that will help improve the functionality of the app.

Lagos flood wahala. I didn't even bother going out yesterday as I anticipated how it would play out with flood, traffic and all.

I faced it sometime last month at OSAPA LONDON and Lekki around Fola Osibo... My car was practically floating in that Osapa. That place na rubbish for rainy season abeg. I had to remove the seats and the rug the next day. It was not a funny experience.

Meanwhile, how do you guys deal with riders when you don't have change? I try as much as possible to have change with me but sometimes it just happens and you have no change.

CC: pope191, Felicity0001 northbird et al.

Baba infinity, I greet you. I have change most of d tym.

Well some riders mite leave change but I don't want to b gender bias, at times d guys let it slide esp if its not more than #100.

But if rider remains adamant, I offer an option of a recharge top up (if its #100) via my opay app. Its almost immediate.

Guys, avoid sango otta axis for now, the road is hell.

Alakuko, kola, toll gate, axis. Road is bad. Bad is an understatement, its terrible.... Not even offline.

However, if you are going to sango ota itself, you can use ekoro/command road bypass to link up. But the trip has to be worth it.

God is good, Say it with me people God is good.

Got an offer from a company to resume in 2 weeks, salary isnt what I expected since I actually did good at the interview but I am taking it like that cos of the extensive training on the job.

Congrats....

Guys. Traffic light @ Allen is back.

Stay awake.

If you r heading straight to Ikeja underbrige from shoprite, ensure you keep to the left. The far extreme right lane ( for adeniyi Jones) is meant to b free always.....

@ babadee, Pettrocam is good, I think d problem wt most filling stations is wt their attendants.

I don't know if you noticed, its a common practice among them, you ask for fuel of #2,000.
They program #2,000 into the console/ dispenser.

Fuel starts reading, wen it gets to #500 or so, they grab the nozzle n start squeezing it.
I'm lyk you have programmed it already, its going to stop @ #2,000.

Why r you squeezing the nozzle again? I don't get it, I'm always wondering, then wats d point of inputting 2,000 in d first place.

@ felicity, nice one. How did you deal wt d men on the road esp from d mowe - ibafo axis.

I'm sure you used the sagamu interlink exchange n dey must be there, how did you go through.

Beng1234:
U were insisting that I post my dash board to prove, now story done change �. The turn out is low but not bad. Well, I no know whether na badagary u Dey stay

I didn't change the narrative, I told you why posting ' revenue' ( you were claiming bolt's money ), so that's misleading.

We HV seen likes of you just come , make some noise n fizzle away

Even net still doesn't give us an idea of your TRUE earnings.

I'm holding you to your assertion. Show me how savings of 90-100k is possible dis period.

Beng1234:
There’s no need to drag anything again bros.

Drag ke? What for? I only told you to show me how savings of 90-100k can be done dis period
And you have not done that.



Yours is an isolated case. The general consensus rite now is DT the market is at an all time low.

Beng1234:
What is my gain in lying? Am I getting money from lying? I am only saying the business is not that bad as claimed. No be here person copy post about a music teacher from Facebook?

The whole of last week, I didn’t drive till 4pm and I am done for the day.

The days are not as good as before but pray before setting out.

Why are you posting ' Revenue'. That's misleading. Post 'net'

I'm sure you are going to rack up like 23k on fuel.

You didn't tell us how much Tolls you paid.or are you going to add that to your money, again? cos you ve given LCC.

So, show me how you can save 90-100k monthly wt this figure.

You can as well give us figures for last week.
bro, You were just lucky,..... no biggie

Where are you coming from?

From new oko oba

Beng1234:
I don’t know why drivers on this forum keep discouraging people. I came back online last week (driving my own car). Though it is not as good as it use to, it’s not worse either. A car owner can still save 90-100k monthly, in this “not so good days”. If u own your car, go online and test by yourself. What works for A might not work for B.

You are lying!. You are a paid agent or using another moniker here.

Why can't you be truthful for once in your life, even in a hidden forum, you choose to peddle falsehood.

Obviously you don't drive on d platorms. If you could save such this season, then why are car owners withdrawing their cars from the drivers.

Last week, I didn't NET 20k, a full week.

We r talking strictly uber n bolt not OFFLINE.

I've not gone online since early March

Multiple income streams. Very Good.

Becareful O! I was caught at Grammar school bustop filling station at Ojudu today by "Ndi Eke". If not for the Over Confidence I exuded with my Kamo top similar to Nigeria Army.

Baba giv us the full gist now . Where you loading ogba or na Akilo?

Tokunbo engine is 180k normal price everywhere but the one I brought is first grade very clean the owner insist on 200k last!.. make mechanic no scam you incase you want buy engine is 180k

Thanks bro. I will bookmark dis page.

donfortune48:
I always calculate every trip off hand using distance and time (60/10) from my Google Map, once I start a trip.
And I'm always accurate. 90% of the times.

Computation from d Google map is not valid cos they are not your operator.....

The operator bills its vendors ( drivers/riders) accordingly n you can check that on the "rides" in the app.

If a trip fails, bolt only computes the time spent n d little km covered. Google won't help here.

Whatsapp: 08036432383

You mean tokunbo engine is 200k.
Confirmed.

Which year of corrolla?

How much is d throttle actuator body? Is it the one wt cable or sensor?

Mass airflow sensor how much?

@ parlee.

Case reminds me of DT ikorodu Lady that cleared off after enjoying d service .

Relax... Its your money.

Thing is I don't get it y you have to b dragged to pay for services you enjoyed.

drmikeadams:
the cabu way

Until you dip your feet into ehailing, you won't know how deep it is.

I remember last year Bolt was still advertising 400k/ month on nairaland front-page .

I'm lyk wats wrong wt dese Bolt guys. Why are you misleading people? Even 400k GROSS is a tough nut for the gurus talk less of rookies.

N d challenges nko. Yestday dapotee shared his experience wt d rogues at sura.

I still don't get the idea of people buying cars of close to 2m.to recoup it in piecemeal week in week out.

You have to b mentally strong to survive in d transport biz particularly in a city like Lagos.

Wrote a story here some days back I think on tuesday about taking one idiot to alagomeji and back, Uber refused to pay n I contacted her and she spoke well n said she will pay up on friday. Today is saturday n I have given her till 12 noon today if she doesnt pay up by then I will paste her number here make una help me bombard her abeg.

1800 is not small money anymore for this dry season wey HP payments still de go on.

I am somewhat tired n frustrated about this work n riders. Wicked people everywhere

Why not call her? n simply tell her she didn't fulfil her promise.... That will put her on d defensive. . .so she gats pay up.
But control d discuss, don't b emotional or shout, as it is now, d stacks r against you.

One merit of Ocar, though dy nid to pull deir weight. If you have not settled your previous bill, you cant order using d same acct.

SaintHilary:
Yeah it's a corolla o..09

Where and how much did you get the Tokunbo belt pls

Like Last year Nov. Ijayie market Think it was 3k then.

The belt lacks d xtic deep Black colour d new ones usually have.

It was greyish or off white in colour.
