xana101: ehailing is a coded side hustle. My tenant don’t know I do it. If I get request in my street or very close to my street I decline. I drive far a bit to get request. Now that uber/bolt will pay 8m on every 1,000 driver. They will block drivers anyhow now to reduce the number.
I think onnthe contrary, UberBolt will be looking to hire more drivers. Bolt just activated my acct which I failed to complete its registration before covid struck, despite neglecting numerous emails from them to complete my registration, they activated my acct yesterday even without uploading inspection report.
I think OP has met a brick wall due to financial constraint and the work has been paused for now. He never expected all the expenses. May God help you.
pope191: SO uber won't let me go online, until I agree to their 35 pages TC, which I need my legal team to examine and advise on said subject. What should I do like this can anyone help me with summary pls, before I sign myself away
If your observation is right, thats commendable from him. It shows the fighting spirit against oppression in him. Do you know because a lot of people took to Twitter to blast govt last time they rolled out new charges for logistic company, they suspended the plan. If many drivers took to twitter, Facebook and nairalanf, more Nigerians will join the online protest and might force the govt to suspend it.
You think our govts dont care about perception and online blasts? Why do they always try to stifle dissent and every criticism? Our govts only have ways with these anyhowness because we don't stand against their oppression; we give in easily and move on.
kodred: Bruh why is it that when there are rumors of LASG interference on ehailing, you become very active on this thread?
Judeopara: An Ikeja High Court has ordered Oshodi Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos to pay N1Million compensation to a motorist, Mr Louis Idahosa for extorting him of N28,000 for allegedly driving against traffic (one-way).
Delivering judgment, Justice Obafemi Adamson said that local governments lack the constitutional power to impound vehicles and to inflict traffic related penalties on road users.
The judge said that threatening, harassing and extorting N28,000 from Idahosa by Oshodi LGA officials and impounding his vehicle under the guise that he drove "one-way" was illegal.
Justice Adamson noted that the applicant's fundamental human rights as enshrined in Sections 34, 36, 41(1) and 44 the 1999 Constitution was breached by Oshodi LGA.
The judge ordered the LGA to refund the Idahosa of the N28,000 and gave an injunction restraining Oshodi LGA from harassing road users.
"An Order is hereby granted directing the respondents (Oshodi LGA) to refund to the applicant (Idahosa) N28,000 which was extorted from him under the guise that he drove one-way without affording him fair hearing.
"An Order of perpetual injunction is hereby granted restraining the respondent or its agents from harassing, threatening or arresting motorists or road users for traffic offences, imposing fines and impounding vehicles.
"Doing so is ultra vires (beyond legal power or authority) their powers outlined under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended)," Justice Adamson said.
In addition to the N1million compensation awarded in favour of the applicant for breaching his right to a fair hearing and freedom of movement, Justice Adamson also awarded a cost of N100,000 against the counsel for Oshodi LGA, Mr L. O Mazoke.
Idahosa had via his counsel, Mr Emmanuel Eze filed a fundamental human rights suit dated Sept. 3, 2019 against Oshodi LGA.
According to Eze, Idahosa on Aug. 28, 2019 while being driven by his driver in his Toyota Corolla car with registration number KRD551CZ along Oyetoyo St., in front of the Oshodi/Isolo LGA, they were accosted by six men who were not in uniform.
"They stopped and arrested Idahosa and his driver insisting the driver contravene traffic laws by driving one-way and were taken into the LGA office.
"Idahosa insisted that any crime had been committed, he and his driver should be arraigned in court.
"Officials of the respondent did not agree to an arraignment but resorted to harassing, intimidating and threatening them with continuous detention.
"The applicant was forced to pay N28,000 into the respondents treasury.
"He however discovered that only N25,000 was written on the receipt issued and upon enquiry, he was informed that the outstanding N3,000 was gate pass fee," Eze said.
Oshodi LGA in court documents however denied extorting Idahosa noting that the persons who arrested and extorted the applicant and his driver were not staff of the LGA.
The LGA also noted that it did not authorise anyone to extort money from the applicant.

I love this mean. What duty does LG have with road traffic? The extortion and illegal money makes the LGs send their touts on the roads to impound cars.
ArewaWife: Really!! did you get email notification after you submitted?
By now, you ought to have outgrown this submission acknowledgement email. It has nothing to do with approval. Once your application was successfully submitted, you stand a chance.
deedee44: Then you are possibly looking for a lemon
Well, you may be right but it is possible and that's why I added "possibly". I've seen people getting good and neat naija used matrix and big daddy for a little less than 1m
harlee: HELLO HOUSE,A FRIEND OF MINE WANTS 2 RESIGN 4RM WORK 2 START UBER BUINESS,DUDE SAYS WORK HAS BEEN SO 'MAD' SINCE HE RESUMED FROM LOCKDOWN BREAK,HIS SALARY IS 60K,MY QUESTION IS SHOULD HE?IS UBER STILL PROFITABLE EVEN AFTER THE LOCKDOWN?WHAT CAR BRAND WOULD YOU SUGGEST(AFFORDABLE AND DURABLE)?THANKS
I hope he is resigning to drive with his car? He might regret his action if he is planning to resign and join ehailing on rental.
As for your inquiry, if the car is his, he will surely make far more than 60k he earns currently on his job. He should compare the prospect in his current job with his future plans in ehailing if it is safe to resign because sincerely, govt can literally kill any business, ehailing inclusive, just one day with a bad policy.
Lest i forget, dont invest over a million on car for ehailing, I always advise 800kmax, so you can recoup your investment quickly. You can get a good naija used honda civic (from 2003) for 600-700k, you can't get naija used coro for a million or less unless you're lucky, so u might take coro away from your option. Civic is even more fuel efficient than coro afterall. You can possibly get naija used big daddy or matrix for less than 1 million. Hyundai elantra is another option but I cant say about its cost of maintenance or parts.
I was just furious probably because of some bad ride previously experienced. I called this guy twice and took time to explain to him and affirmed him he don't be charged should he cancel I even went further to let him know his destination is off my way cause of curfew (inside Berger). Those of you saying it's wickedness, who is more wicked after all these explanation I gave to him. If police sieze my car what would I say to my partner?? Ok I should give police all the money I've worked all week long abi
I've had some bad experiences like this that didn't turn out well for me at the end of the day. Yes you win some and lose some, but do I have to always be at yhe loosing end all the time? I've done about 8km PU distance just because rider refused to cancel in which my account has bewn flagged for h8gh cancellation.
Now, my balance as at yesterday was above -N15k so cancelling a card trip would have put my account in a very high risk of being blocked. My account was suspended on Wednesday last week s8mply because a rider cancelled after I'd arrived and was charged. Uber said it was because my cancellation rate was above 7%. Let me stop here. So, All of these put together was why I took that decision to start the trip without the guy.
Well, as I woke up this morning I don forget and my conscience has prinked me and I sent him a text apologising and asking for his acct details to trx back his money. If him like make him send if him like make him no send. Me I don move on.
Thank God I eat the N7500 bonus after completing 32trips for the week so my balance is now reduced to about 3k.
Omooshodi thanks jor...na only I understand well but that doenst mean we r bad people.
Bad people don't have a conscience and I'm not a hypocrite who only share the good experience like every other guy here if I do good I don't say it but I come out bold to say all the bad I think I may have done that's felicity0001 for you all. And in any case it goes I make sure never regret my actions.
Felicity0001: I just did something very bad now but if I can handle it to the very last I won't regret it all.
After my last post I got a trip to magodo via set destination to Abule-Egba. 1.5km to drop off another request came in 6.3km (had I known I wouldnt have picked it.
Rider didnt call till I droppes of and time was 9:51pm already. Dropped off and the. GMap says 3.8km to pickup ETA 18min; 10:03pm.
Put a call through to riderer.
Me: hi, gudevening pls where you going to pls? R: Berger M: pls kindly req another ride it's off my path R: Okay
I thought this guy waa gonna cancel but he didn't.
I calles him again.
M: pls sir you still haven't cancelled. R: I'll be charged you cancel. Me: you still have time to cancel without being charged pls kindly cancel so I can get a ride towards my destination. R: Okay.
Guy still refused to cancel.
I then drove down to pu, waited for about 6min could see it was a card trip na there devil come enter my Godly heart and I said let me teach this guy a hard lesson since you want to spoil my own make me help you spoil your own too.
I started trip, got to Berger did solo 4passengers to ogba. I then decided to end trip at excellent hotel.
As I reach out the stupid guy sent me a textbwithin.
How do I report to uber now is what I'm trying to think now.
If you a good and constructive lie I can give to uber pls help me out.
sawdickwest: Everybody should calm down, since your application was successful, you will surely receive your loan, I went to the Nirsal bank to ask on how to repay the loan but they asked me to calm down because they are still disbursing,
When you received your loan,I will advise you to use part of it to join CHY mall business, it's an ecommerce business, just registered an online store,stock your store with goods, the company sell for you and receive your capital + profit every 10-12 days, referral is not compulsory to earn, referral is just an addition, you can make research on your own, for more info Whatsapp 08099870790
I am very glad because I have almost earned half of my capital so before December I will just pay off my loan once and continue enjoying the money

harken0504: Guys pls...I want to get a car of my own for this business and don't really have much.......so between 1. Honda civic 2009 2. Hyundai Elantra 2008 3. Kia cerato 2009... Which one will you guys recommend amongst the 3 and they are all NAIJA USED, but still engine solid
They are all good but I pick civic. I heard elantra engine and parts are quite costly.
coded28: Hello my people, please I'm just processing my DL which I want to use for Uber and bolt but I've seen a car owner partner already but he said he can't wait for two months that my license will be ready, so I decided to buy a bolt account, pls anyone that want to sell bolt account should pls quote this post pls
I don't want to lose this car owner partner
Call or quote 08169419729 (whatsapp)
Thanks.
You want to start with fraud. If You go this way, your journey in ehailing will be short.
jpworld: We are talking about uber driver, not chauffeur.
95% drivers here are vampires.
5% only is good.
You're right, the NL drivers were also responsible for your experience with Inter-state biz. The drivers you sought OFF Nairaland are already delivering 35k for you.
AustinT575: Guys one agent said I can do medical test at any government hospital is it true? I read on the website that only authorized panel doctors are accepted which is in Lagos or Abuja?
Dog wey go lost no dey hear Hunter's whistle. They told you here there are specialized hospitals, you also read on website but you chose to listen to an Agent that wants to dupe you.
mikolam: Hi everyone, please we need your help. My friend and I are about to go into Uber/Bolt business in Abuja or Lagos and we need you to help us with your wisdom that you have gotten from experience.
Our goal is to have a car which belongs to us and pay the driver a percentage of what he makes in total every month. This means that the car won’t be on higher purchase but rather remain our property and the driver will be on contract with us.
I have the following questions.
* We are thinking of starting with Toyota Corolla. Is this a good car to start with?
* I heard that US used Toyota Corolla costs about 1.5m, do you have information on the possible cost?
* How much do you (or your drivers) make per week in Lagos?
* How much do you (or your drivers) make per week in Abuja?
* Based on logistics, which city would you recommend that new comers start driving? Lagos or Abuja? Why?
* What expenses or costs could cause us huge losses if not properly managed? How can we properly manage it?
* What advice will you give a beginner?
Thank you for taking time out to help us. We appreciate that!
First thing, there is nothing like paying the driver a percentage of whatever he earns, you agree with the driver on the fixed amount he pays weekly, usually 20-25k for now. As for a better place between Abj and Lag, lagos is a big market but your car will suffer abuse due to bad roads while your car will not suffer same abuse in Abuja but it is quite a smaller market compared to lagos.
My advice: Covid is affecting ehailing biz just as other biz presently. The curfew and lack of social and religuous activities on weekends still affect the biz. I will advise you hold on a lil and till everything comes back to normal, which is expected to happen soon. Always keep yourself abreast of developments in ehailing biz on this thread as lockdown is being relaxed.
Putting your cars on ehailing this period will see your cars suffer just for a lil earning.
You may also consider Inter-state transport, there is one bigleaf or so who specializes in that. You may talk to him extensively and make your decison between ehailing and interstate.
Blackbishop: Boss I was thought by the best still learning from the best. I might not be as experienced as you but I was thought by expert that are way far ahead of you sir. Watch the video of where I was thought and decide for your self sir
johnkey: No bro my junior brother in ss1 is pricing muscle as we speak but I won't allow it now though. But why e be say na secondary School boys chop this benefit money pass? all the agba awo wey I know never see one dollar benefit money, life no just balance
Calm down. No one is saying your bro isn't pricing muscle but these very boys are only doing comedy skit with this pix and video.
davidtuzy: My people please is camry 03 ( big daddy ) good for dis job in terms of fuel consumption
Between 03 and 04, which one good pass
Yap, big daddy is probably the second most used car for ehailing. Juat make sure it is sound and it is i4. 03/04 is really of no importance as either of them passes for both bolt and uber.
Felicity0001: Muwan! Applied to drive for you via uber fleet match? Like how? When? And where
Oga abeg if you don't have some thing to say just shutthefuckup!
My first signing on ehailing both Uber and Bolt was August/October last year and it was with my personal car. I first drove with bolt for like 2-3week b4 I got my Uber account activated in October and since I sold my personal car I'd only had 2 Owners partners, a lady I meet on NL but not on this forum and we only partnered for just 17days.
After I dropped her car due to a lot of faults for reasons I can't explain now I got my present partner her on this forum. A fantastic Boss and our relationship has been great ever since.
I don't nees to make boast of my good work ethics, experience, professionalism and knowledge not just in driving but also in customer and partner relations. For this reason UBER recommended me to Moove Africa and these guys have been calling, sending both mails and text messages with great incentives and offer just for me to sign up with them.
Tou would want to ask what's it about felicity0001 that Moove Africa is trying every thing possible to get him. It's nothing other than integrity, honesty, boldness, et el.
So if truly in your subconscious Uber at some time referred me to you and you truly did the turn turn turner you talked about then I must say you missed a good and fantastic hardworking guy who would have helped you build your dream. But off course I'm aure there was nothing of such.
I mention my partner to you here but a few peraons that have been previllege to meet me on this forum knows who he/she is and they can all would tell you the real person behind the moniker felicity0001. Don't be mistaken, me and my boss fall out a lot oh, sometimes we have arguments, misunderstanding and some sorts but we always find ways around it and respect each other. It may interest you to know that for almost a year since I meet him/her it's just once I've meet him.
So Mr get your facts right next time b4 you come up here to state some claims.
