If we don’t have okporoko, then what is soup?
I don't eat Okporoko and I still enjoy my swallow. So soup must go down, Okporoko or not.

The only thing that can make me drive empty to the island is if my client need me at a particular time and destination trip is not helping, d way I'll b frowning inside the car self, for me working is not by force, if trips r not coming, sleep will obviously come or I use my head to figure out other things. I can't guaranty any price as work may melt someone sometimes, but positioning and not going to all trip still remain d main tin, outside that where u set out from for the day is also important. Most times I start work from surulere have always been a drag. But if I find myself around ogba or Berger ard 7am... I'll gently drive down to omole estate and isolate from drivers, I don't set destination or bother to cancel short trips going to magodo 1 or 2, ogba or ikeja, I take dem as deh come, as long as its not 10 30 yet, your chances of getting long trip is still cool... Most times I can do short trips from omole to magodo, magodo to opebi, opebi to alausa, just within the axis I'll make 5k, from dia maybe ard 12 noon get a trip to V.I that 7k5 from V.I/ikoyi lekki may pop in, if it gets to chevron that around 2k (9k5) and if u find a trip back or further to sangotedo, ur money keep increasing, but once I find myself back to phase one and my dash is displaying 12/13k ard 5/6pm... I'll gentle set destination trip back to ogba and gently go through d back door to Awolowo rd, if I'm not getting a trip worth 2k I'm not leaving dia, most time u get surge ard that time. You can consider a trip to you and drive into unilag (Sure zone).

Return the goods. Take whatever you can get from it as refund and start from there. The border is closed yet the ports are opened! Even cargo is there!

Do you want me to be feeling pity for you for smuggling? And doing illegality? And you question and spit on yahoo boys?

No... Its one and the same please.

If you dey online from 5am to 10pm ceteris paribus and you no gross 15k, then the oil for your head need topping.

12k fuel to make 70k? Bros may be na electric car. The average fuel that could deliver that sort of return can't be less than 20k.
Whoa... I was just being generous. That's why I said minimal. Maybe you get an offline where you have to wait without burning fuel.

I got one since on Wednesday. Offline 4hrs! The guy go just stop for him office and ask me to wait. I go wait (8-12pm). He will ask I take him to his wife office in Marina (Another wait) till we will finally move.

You don't have to trouble yourself with TIN, if you don't have it just coin any number and put it there. It works! Yes that how most of us did ours, don't be scared it won't have any effect on your remittances from uber.

Go ahead and do the needful.

What's the best strategy to profit from uber 20trips?
I meet a driver that said he wakes up very early on Monday and position in Kelli phase 1, he only accept short trips withing lekki phase 1, and makes sure he stays till he hit the 15trips then.. Then after that he starts positioning for long trips....which is working folks? Let's talk earning strategy-these is one of the reason the thread was formed
For me... I don't really select trips but if by Wednesday I'm not on 15trips already, I blow empty to lekki and use the short trips to complete it twenty though depending on the time.

Then rest on Thursday. Friday I fall out by 6-7am and do a few school runs once I find myself on the island. No coning back till closing time 8pm.

Friday-Sundays are days I make my rental fee. Other days are for Me and a handful of maintenance. Na so my Oga Tojahh teach me.

I used to do it before, if your rating is below 4.0 I willing Will just let your request slide. That was before water pass garri
I once picked a rider whose rating was 3.78.
I thought it was an error until I paid for it. She killed me with attitude and refused to pay the displayed fare because that was not what was displayed on her app before booking irrespective of the traffic we encountered. I just told myself, served you right Perkins!

Uncap your radiator, turn on the engine and look out for the water bubbling. If it doesn't, water pump should be the culprit.

Which kind of car, how often are you filling, is pouring water the only way you've checked for a leak? By "working well" you mean not bypassed?
Its a 2003 Honda Civic

I refill only in the morning (except when it overheats along the way)

No. There's coolant though in the last week I only refill with water. And no leaks from anywhere under.

Yes by working well I mean bypassed straight to the battery.

Nope. Radiator not leaking as I have checked several times when the refilling. The water pump that I can't tell. The thing just dey make me weak. Two riders cancelled on me yesterday because of overheating.

EOD.... That's it. The young man explained to the rider and even asked her to cancel giving reasons.

On Saturday at lekki phase 1(1:59am). I picked a female rider, we got talking she told me the ride she earlier booked, the driver didn't cancel and promised her he'd come but she waited 20mins no show and she doesn't know how to cancel, she even restarted her phone the thing was still there, called the driver, he didn't pick, called and called no show.
I just told her maybe the guy got car problems.

So stuff like this... Sometimes some riders and some drivers no get truth. Na survival of who frustrate pass angry grin

Nobody is blaming the driver for rejecting her trip.... That's not the issue

The issue was how she called him a TAXI DRIVER and he responded by calling her a PROSTITUTE

No Izzou you're changing the narratives. The rejecting of the ride even with a genuine explanation warranted the smeering SMS and hence his response.


Now.. A MECHANIC has rejected my car because of his reason, and I sent an SMS dats y you're a MECHANIC! Now you can only reason it because you were not the one outside at 12am being dragged because you couldn't render a service you signed for.

No bother bro... Whenever Gazzuzz don't support a thing.. Always watch the space for his asslikers to follow suit. Or you think he just read the Bobo just this morning? Nope he didn't. He had to wait for the validation of his Boss before he could take a stand.

Meanwhile expect him to start mentioning others to come see and throw shades like they're known for.
