Very happy

Let them go. They dont inspect anything but money.

Sesan Olufowobi

The Lagos State Government has ordered the Vehicle Inspection Officers to leave Lagos roads.

It was gathered that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode handed down the directive as a result of public complaints.

Details later…

Ignore Romeo3, he is too ignorant to understand what Uber is throwing at him.. He thinks people are lazy and stupid for not driving at the current rate. He does not know that the value of a car goes down by ech kilometer...... keep driving

Romeo3:
today's promo: drive 7 trips from 9am - 7pm and make 10, 000 extra....

I am on the 4th trip.

mine is 20k but i wont drive

obitee69:
Pls i just did vehicle inspection for uber on my car. But they didnt give me any report but dey said uber will get back to me. Pls house am i on the right track..cos i know when signing up dey said you have to upload a report

Check your email

Romeo3:
does uber only operate Ojota to surulere routes?

what idiot would invest 3.5m in a car and put it on Ojota to surulere route?

have you tried Ojota to Epe on uber and get charged 750?

This is the comment I need. Google the word juxtapose

Romeo3:
if you listen to these people you will never make a head start.

out of the over 7k I have made today, there is a trip I took that gave me 262 naira after uber and another that gave me over 4k after uber's 25%. it all added up to the 7k.

listening to these people, one would think the only routes available on uber are 650 naira. each.

you would also think that uber is all about Ojota to Ojuelegba to and fro, to and fro.

bro as long as you are online you will make money. forget these pessimists. good for you is that you are accountable to no one but yourself.

I have been restraining myself since but you have low self worth and will take anything thrown at you. You seem like a "just give me anything guy" after a job interview.

I took uber from Ojota to Surulere and I paid N750. And this to you is okay. Imagine you invest 3.5million on a car and you are okay with 750 for such trip?

Like I always say its not how much you made but for how long

You make 20k in 200km or 20k in 500k. They are not same.

Romeo3:
sell your cars oga and let's have peace.

there is still life after uber.

Lol

Plankton2017:
Wow 650? Are u serious? Jesus is Lord

Just download the rider's app and test

obitee69:
Its you dat wont far...senseless he goat

Again I wont stoop low to exchange word with you. I called you what you are and I advised you . You started cursing. By the power of the creator of this world your curses will go back to you.

I dont think its out of place to protest. I think its out of place to mock those who went offline or those who chose to protest.

Lets not forget that Uber/Taxify have no vehicles.
They depend on us for their revenue.
This latest move by the apps is too boost their income not to boost income of partners.
They want to make it cheap so that alot more people will use their app.
Uber has reduced their car year to 2003. This is to get more people on board.

Take these scenarios,
Uber has 1000 drivers who generate an average of N300000 per month. That is 300 million of which 25% is N75000000

Or

Uber has 10000 drivers who generate an average of 100000 per month, that's 1billion Naira of which 25% is N250000000

The second scenario is their strategy.

Less money for partners more money for them.

Anyone who thinks this current regime was borne out of the interest of drivers should bury that thought.
At least I know 10 cars that did not work since Thursday.
I know about 15cars working on taxify that were not allowed on uber due to model year now with this reduction all of them may come on board.

The effects of all these will be reduced earnings for drivers and partners

Uber and taxify are Bastards. They only care about their commissions. What happens to your car your investments and you physically and mentally is none of their business.

obitee69:
Wait o...you must be mad..do i know u? Buzz off you retard! I see your village witches are toying with ur senses. Wasted sperm..you father should have wanked you off the toilet sink...mofo

I will ignore all you said. But i will say this If you want to go far in life dont tow this path otherwise you wont go far.

obitee69:
Pls how do i get a valid vehicle inspection report to upload. I need to bypass that stage

Typical Nigeria. Bros you are a criminal. That was how the other day someone like you wanted to use someone else driver's license to write examination

eledalo:
Ho ho ho!

Uber is now accepting 2003 cars! So your 2012 corolla is now on the same level as a 2003 matrix. Don't be confused o. Uber is looking to quickly fill the large gap that will be created as more and more partners run away from the platform.

And For those taking about surge today: it is NOT due to increased demand via rider numbers o! It is due to reduced supply in terms of driver numbers!
Let's see how it plays out!

That's it. I don pull my 2009 corolla. Very soon Camry pencil light will soon make it.

For all those who dont know uber philosophy I will explain some things here

Uber came to Nigeria. They created a niche for themselves. They created a class for themselves. Your car must be 2009 and above less 100,000 Kms ( 62,500miles.
All these they achieved with other people's cars.
They knew it wasn't sustainable.

But wanted to created that class.

Now they have reduced the requirements to any 2003.


The return on investment for a 2010 corolla and above is low compared to 2003.
Basically they will edge out high end cars leaving only 2003 and 04.

Romeo3:
the surge is never because drivers are offline. there are new riders in town.

Surge is when riders outnumber drivers.
The current surge is due to low numbers of drivers not a sudden increase in riders.

Romeo3:
Nigerians are too pessimistic.

new pricing doesn't mean anything. Uber did a feasibility study before implementing.

and they guarantee 1500/hr.

if you are online for 10 hrs and accepting requests and completing trips that is 15k.

I am currently averaging above that.

these people aren't fools.

I dont know what to say to you. Dont worry continue by 6 months time after you have added about 100000miles to your car and you need new engine and gear you will understand that just getting by is not business.
Nigerians are too pessimistic for fighting for their rights.

Even yellow cabs that dont offer tenth of the perks you offer will not charge this ridiculous price.

Google uber prices in mombasa and nairaobi kenya

The money you think you are making is due to surge. Let everybody come back and see if you will still make same money when surge ends.

jpworld:
Drivers also depend on ride sharing App, and riders to make money Isn’t?
You drivers are dancing Between Uber and Taxify, so will riders dance between Uber and Taxify. Since Taxify offers cheaper ride, most riders will use Taxify. And that will Kick Uber out of business. There are hundreds of cars register with Taxify that are not listed in Uber, so if you ignore Taxify, many will not.
Don’t blame Uber for reacting, it’s normal in business.
When Uber came no competition with Taxify, drivers and owners are making it, why didn’t they remain loyal to Uber, why did they start having both Apps? Because you all are looking for better deal.
So will riders look for a better deal?

You may be right but I think it would amount to stupidity to drive for Taxify if Uber had retained their prices.

For me sha my car is off the road unless they revert their prices. Uber was cheap before they now made it ridiculously cheap.

chillex8:
For the very first time this year. Their is surge all day round...

Even with the surge the money is till lower than what it was before

jpworld:
But Riders will switch to Taxify... And Uber doesn't want to loose it riders... And in Nigeria everything cheap sells fast.

Dont blame Uber, its a game of competition, there must be losers and winners in every game. And in this game car owners likely loose more, while drivers will only stress more and Uber will also loose, but very little.

Uber and Riders do not have any car. they both depend on the drivers.
You as a driver,will you go online on taxify when you know its greener on Uber?
So nobody will on their Taxify app. Riders cant drive themselves they need drivers. when there are no drivers they open their Uber app

I had this feeling that if Uber had retained their old prices most drivers would have switch off their Taxify apps. The only people that would have remained on taxify would be those who failed uber activation

darmilolah:
That's the problem. Our house is divided. Some of us are offline and some are online. How will uber or taxify take us serious.

Exactly. I hate this divided house.

The fares are too cheap irrespective of commission. Even Without removing the commission the fares are lower than yellow cabs

eluquenson:

NOT WORKING

princecemo:
Please is dere an Uber WhatsApp group

Let us create one

There was no conspiracy. He lost an election. Presidency wasn't his birthright, He needed the mandate of the people but the people voted against him. Obama that you mentioned was hated by many whites alot of them wanted him out of the whitehouse in 2012 but he won the election by a landslide. Jonathan should just have won the election. Currently alot of people want Buhari out, Is that a conspiracy too?

This is why they will bullshit us. If you like continue. I give you 6 months the cars will breakdown and your obligations wont be met.

I can not offer services that's technically cheaper than Danfo.
