OP they won't call the police to arrest you however your BVN will be flagged by credit bureaus, meaning you won't be able to get loans from apps or banks in the future unless you clear your debt and maintain good loan history. I can recommend and application for you to check if you've been reported as well get the bureaus contact to resolve it.

Which app is that please?

Daddy, CALM DOWN.

He's a stakeholder on this thread, a veteran in ehailing job for that matter.

wait wait wait who’s the ‘we’ you talking about? Are you now driving? But you said you’re a COO and a book writer! You don add uber join? Abi na uber all along but you sey fantasize about being a coo

Now seriously I can see where our last argument about the necessary docs/license/govt sanctions/vio harrassment came about. You nothing but a gademn spy nigga. So you’re part of the stakeholders abi errand boy having this ‘inside information’ ba.

When e wan favour am, he switch to ‘we’. Before you were on about us having another hustle like writing books and what not but now you don join us dey form ‘we’, marketing and telling us all about your ekocab. Nigga stand one place and stop confusing thunder abeg.

Just wondering why a mother discipline her son would be published online for starters.

I guess congratulations are in order.

Keep wondering.

It was the "calm down" and the rhetorics from the boy that made the woman post. It isn't surprising now that every reasonable being saw beyond 'discipline' and appreciate the boy which saw him becoming an ambassador and even Sanwoolu wanting to meet him.

chucsmoore:
. You were hoping to collect cash, , I have done that kind of trip lastyear. From Ago palace way to Ikeja Lasuth. Immediately I ended the trip, I was heart broken. Rider was laughing silently at back of the car seat. . But actually is a card trip in disguise. There is no big deal about it, expecially if U have outstanding to pay off.

Mine, the rider told me he was an uber employee, But I still had to call him back while he was going that the thing was just 0 naira, but he assured me to be calm. I was somehow cool that he wouldn't have hacked my uber driver app to bring such 0 naira

CyberEBOLA:
Whenever I check OP chair, this is what I keep seeing oooo...

Sombodi epp me!!

You sat down to do this just to needlessly troll OP?
You people need to grow up, go and make your money and do what you like with it.

Some are even saying he should buy pencil Camry instead.

Gibberish everywhere.

Babadee1900:
I’m still in shock..

The actual price is 900 which bolt will pay u.

I once carried an uber employee whose fare read 0naira after trip, checked my trips and saw his fare which uber later paid.

pope191:
All what u list here is still hustle, why not upgrade certificate or move to a better country where things work?

You talk like this hustle can't even fetch more money than some/many cert jobs. Bro, some of these hustles nitigriti listed go fetch money, good one at the long run. It is all about knowing what one wants.

Yes, I support leaving the country if one has the means, not only because of better job/economy but because of uncertainties known with Nigeria and its policy makers which can crash any surviving business at the twinkle of an eye.

God no go shame us.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I think the issue here is that drivers are not looking at the issue critically...

Drivers come here to lament of how hard it is to get trips despite the #500 fare. So is it when it becomes #2000 that you'll now get the trip?

Since the bird has learnt to fly without landing, the hunter should learn to shoot without missing

Whether we like it or not, competitors will come in and reduction in fares will prevail. Whether we also like it or not, people will still be putting cars into this business

(b)Drivers should simply look into other options of breaking even...maybe changing the tools for the job(I've always believed the corolla is now a wrong tool for the job), or exploring other options(/b)

Because the bitter truth is if Uber increases the fare to #1200 minimum, getting a trip would be difficult

You were not getting numerous trips when it was #500, then will riders rush you when its #1200?

For those who can't take it like me, jejely quit [/color]

This is why I am of the opinion spending less then a million naira on a good naija used car. The era of investing on tokunbo cars for this job is going/gone.

DEGREE2466:
Don't feel like a God. People do this a lot. Even on Fiverr, people make such requests and it gets granted.

People make much more daring requests like having their company name registered in the United States.

If I had known this is the way you would react, I wouldn't bother. I didn't go straight to sending you a private message so it doesn't seem like I have an ulterior motive.

Just to receive a phone from e-commerce website and ship to Nigeria is rude?

Please swerve.

For the respondent asking why I didn't consider using DHL, some of these businesses don't ship to Nigeria. Ask anybody that buy from eBay and Amazon, they have people that receive their items and ship them to Nigeria. Even the ShopToMyDoor that someone recommended, they have their agents in the States.

The mistake I made was getting in touch with the wrong person and quoting her on the wrong thread (my intention was never to post on Uber thread, it happened that this thread is where she comments most so I just quoted her last comment when I searched).

Let's die this. I never wanted to respond any further but someone is already feeling like a demi-god

There is a guy on nairaland that can even help you buy any item of your choice and ship to you.

I've forgotten his moniker though but a thorough search will lead you to him.

abefeabebi:
I have been following this thread for the past 1year with aim of joining the Uber business, Now I have seen someone to help me get a car from us Corolla 02. it cost 1800$ @400 and i already paid 500k,the agreement is for them to help me pay all necessary fee and I paid the rest on instalment.the car is at the port already waiting for shipping and Vin report has been sent to me.
Note: the person na family

But with the level of Lamentation concerning Uber fee now, is it good if one can be doing small trip within,like Berger to ogba with duly register or traveling to ibadan or shagam, bcs what am reading here shows this Uber of a thing done cast and am almost in already.
please I need ur opinion.
thanks for ur opinion

And for this festive season if u re interested am from kwara, transport fee now is around 5k to 6k as at Sunday,it maybe more than that by tomorrow, if u can option for that 3 to 4 passenger is like 20k. just saying my own nioooooo.

You're in already bro and since the person involved na family person, I'm sure the instamental payment will be made convenient for you.

Note the total cost of the car plus shipping and clearing might be about 1.4m or more.

Felicity0001:
So long its on a public domain anyone has the absolute right to meddle on and comment on it otherwise contact the person privately that's the reason there is a room for pm.

If you don't want people to poke nose into your business then don't bring your issues or business into the airspace.

Its that simple

The post was actually directed to someone, he wasnt seeking general opinion or help, and besides the young man also has the right to shut anyone up for pokenosing. He was just exercising his right on a public forum as u said

helinues:
Make reaseach about those 3 and check how many times they have been contesting...

You're obviously ignorant of the regional politics. This Is Jegede's second time.

benitdavid:
Good morning my fellow Nairalanders. Pls I want your honest opinion on this issue. A friend wants to pick up a toks Corolla 03 model for 2.5m on hp. Would you advice him to pick up the offer?

P.s. he has a 9-5 job already but the pay isn’t much, less than 100k so he isn’t going to be driving full time . Is it a good deal??

2.5m car on HP? If he doesn't mind paying most of the 2.5m for a car of just over 1m naira from his salary because I dont know how he intends to do ehailing with his job to meet up with weekly remittance which will surely not be less than 25k.

pope191:
Those r not my choice car, I still maintain, its not worth spending over 1.2 million on this hustle.

My ideal investment on this hustle now is 800k max and should be a good naija used car.

Whoever still invests on toks cars for this biz is still living in yesterday.

ArewaWife:
What I read from some of these Facebook pages was that they might reduced the amount they will approve to applicants so that the money can go round. What I am not sure of is if they will approve those of us who didnt get email confirmation.

What has email confirmation got to do with approval?

Some people with pessimistic attitude sha

pappy4real:
Good morning guys, I'm relatively new to d ride sharing world and I must say I've learned vital lessons just from reading a few pages here. I am employed but I'm a low income earner (less than 100k/month)but my responsibilities far outweigh my current income and my job leaves me with about 4 days a week which I can use for more gainful ventures. I work in ikorodu and live around Oshodi/sango Ota. I need your help on how much the weekly rental on an average vehicle is at the moment or weekly pay for HP as I'm considering either options. Also if you have a vehicle I'd be grateful to hear from you too.
I've recently gotten my driver's license.
Thanks

My candid advice. I dont think you can opt for either HP or rental with your job. If you go for HP, you will have to dip into your salary to pay which i dont think it's worth it considering you already have a job. There is no need going for HP, it will only amount to working for the owner because of the outrageous price (almost double) you will pay for the car.

It would have been easier if you have your own car which you can use to work on off days.

It is even better you go for loan, say 800k, and get yourself a good naija used car to work (since you have a job) than doing HP.

DONT GO FOR HP, THOSE WHO DRIVE FULL TIME ARE EVEN HAVING HARD TIMES COMPLETING THE HP CONTRACTUAL PERIOD.

Good luck

Cheddaz:
Like I said what do i know and i really do like to mind my business. And i can say you are indirectly a very rude person, permit me to say a little arrogant as well.

Pay him no mind.

Please Advise,
Alternative to Corolla
Best alternative to Toyota Corolla 2007

The way this industry is going, more and more of those Hutchins will focus on Uber/Taxify drivers and riders. Forward thinking, which car una dey advice?

Yaris is another option. More fuel efficient than almighty coro and less expensive.

pope191:
These things r simple, drivers don't know the power they have, its pointless to riot or make fuss... Gently go offline for 3 days, work 1 day for those that need refreshing, go offline again for 2 days and back a again for a day refresting, until they call driver to a round table discussion, but it seems like hunger in d land will always win.

They can hardly b victory without sacrifices

This would have been easier if all drivers are car owners.

HP and rental guys may not do this.

ad0nis:
Please o, what is this Bolt Economy these people are planning to lunch??

LOL, these people no pity drivers at all.

Which riders will still opt for 'premium' when he can gonfor economy.

And the premium fares have been shitty, imagine what economy will be like.

calabardick:
What?
There's something hidden somewhere.
They come under uber platform?

Yea. Strictly uber. I heard the cars have trackers so u can't even do some quick interstate offline trips with rsst of mind laikdat

Babadee1900:
They are mooving it already

Chai!!!
The bumper don dey hear am

calabardick:
Here we go again, is it a new ehauling company?
Where are they moving Lagos to? Sango?

Dem dey give out 2016 Corolla for 25k per week and all maintenance on them.

calabardick:
It's either they lack good advisers or they lack the ability to conduct a proper market survey or visibility study before they venture into it.

The business don cast, no be today.

But Moove just rolled out 2016 corolla to move Lagos

pomide:
Thanks much

Please tell uber to reverse the extra 1k. The driver doesn't deserve extra 1k

stacyadams:


And people still dey buy corrolla every day for wuber

And at outrageous prices for that matter.

Jobjob:
I'm new in the business I need car for uber.

You've got a driver's licence?

But I'm still surprised how 350k did or will do all these transformations. From changing fenders, front and back numbers, grille and other parts of the car to upholstery, painting, AC, Android DVD screen etc

Anyway, enjoy your car.

controlaltdeleat:
i will like to congratulate you on your success but please dont mis inform people about Nigeria you probably spends close or more 1 million on your travelling expenses while I started my company with just 30k profit on a contract job in this country and now I have 5 staffs while you well operating fork lift or what ever
simply because you can not think of how to succeed legally but to join the bandwagon of looking for someone to serve doesn't mean all of us has to. stop misleading people encourage people to be business oriented YOU CAN MAKE IT IN NIGERIA well SEUN did. if he was thinking like you he will be mobilizing commodities with forklift with pride and Nairaland would not exist

Bad belle. You couldn't even read what OP posted well just to undermine his achievement and project yours as bigger than his achievement.

promotervickky:
What you need to do is pray for this country, ask God to be merciful and get us through... the Italy you are in didn t just become Italy in 55 years, it took time.. pray and repent for the country.. Pray for the prosperity of Nigeria. your business will be affected positively if Nigeria prospers..

If the country is good as you once proclaimed, why doee he need to pray for it again?

Besides, why saying in naija hoping for better tommorrow when he had a chance to move to a better country.


BTW, how far has your prayer helped the country? Why must he waste his precious youthful years praying for naija when he can leave?
