Not everyone you meet online is uninformed. I didn’t get to where I am today by simply saving money in the bank. I have other ventures that can triple my earnings in a year. Just because I’m asking questions based on some comments here doesn’t mean I don’t know how to manage or invest money.

For an investor, it’s about turnover, and it seems that point is often overlooked. How many years would it take me to recover my capital of 7 million naira if I’m being paid 65k weekly? Three years?

Many people assume, “the investor just collects money while the driver does the work,” without considering the risks involved. Within those three years, inflation could devalue the investment, the car could be impounded, accidents could occur, or even natural disasters could strike. These are critical factors that must be accounted for. Who suffers? ,Driver using the car to make money or the person who invested his hard earned money buying the car in the first place?
You do business law.

You're the one that doesn't want to accept the truth. If Tinubu didn't implement subsidy removal, another person will. I already told you and everyone else here that fuel will not be cheaper going forward. But pearl told you when refineries start working that it will be cheaper.

Either you adopt the government's alternative, find something else to do or stfu.

You see this paragraph, it speaks alot...

But, once someone just complain of something, they feel the person isn't doing well through ehailing.

Like you said, you can't wake up 5am to drive anymore, likewise me, I've put in the work to achieve little I have now, but truth is, the work doesn't worth that effort anymore.

Before this Tpain happen, I know how much I take home with 5hours of work, but now, I have to put in 10hours+ to achieve same result, does that make the work worth the time, I will say NO if you ask me..
Nah problem wey I get with Donbrowser. Trust me I prefer days I deh do 20k with fuel of 3500 compare to today’s earning. 6pm I don deh house, but today we Dey beg God ni, baba don scatter everywhere. Money no just get value again. Can you imagine apple bigi is 400 today from 150. It is well.

Can u throw more light on the bolded pls
Some food weight one down. Once the body has taken what requires, the rest goes to waste and may be harm to the body. Water is so great for the body, especially when we wake in the morning and night. The night own is being mindful of your sack, so don’t take much. Excess drugs and alcoholic drinks are never good for the body (pending on how blessed your liver and kidney is tho).

You are not wrong, Pearl is also spot on, like I've always emphasized PERSPECTIVE and LIVE AND LET LIVE, Barbiturate has said it too.
I know how far I've come with this hustle, now I'm planning to be like you and get "Personal car and e-hailing car", isn't that growth?
You posted some cars and receipts the other day, won't you consider it as growth? I believe you didn't acquire everything at once.
Bills are universal whether driver, CEO or even unemployed, they come for us all and a man must meet them or perish. That's why I get up and go to work. I talked about health insurance the other day, I can afford it so I have it. Last year I took a holiday outside this country. Some of the things I dreamt of affording myself I can now, but this wasn't always the case.
Let no one come here to try and force a single narrative and then have the audacity to abuse anyone who challenges that narrative.
Their bile can't change anything for me but it will do a whole lot to them unfortunately.
I dig with you boss… God no go shame us.

But if you ask me my state of mind today? I’ll say happy, but not joyous. Person wey don marry for 10 years, e no see pikin. He was out of job the day em wife born triplet. Boss you see say he have every reason to be happy, but when he settle down think well 😂

Pearl1910:
I no even think of you when I made my post, I am surprised u think I may be referring to u.
By the way, all the points in your post have been washed and rinsed several times in this thread. Person wey dash person 100m no dey do 9-5 and girl wey get job of 900k na one in 100,000. Will I be willing to do such a job?, Yes. Is it readily available? No.
The one that is available and easy to get is what I am using to get to where I am going to.

The argument on ground was about earning potential, some people kept saying there is no more profit after buying fuel for 40k or 30k or 50k and I begged to differ but they faced me and called me names.

Pope, u have been long in this game, and on this thread, we can easily count 10 drivers in the last 5yrs who used ehailing as launch pad for their japa quest. As a single man if ur desire is to travel out, u should have done so by now if u were serious from the beginning. U were like the Jacksononfire of today, who was always complaining of ehailing, and attacking me when I kept shouting ehailing is like a gold mine. Thank God u changed, U picked up, and got serious later and today u have things to show.
Ghost1994 just said it last week, he worked 4days and used 2days to learn new skills. Today he is in Germany. Anything u set your heart to do is possible and ehailing can give u both the flexibility and finances that u need.
It has always been to every mallam his kettle, for me when others are saying there is a casting down, I will be saying their is a lifting up. One thing u must not do in life is go through it without a plan and mind u, ur plan should not be to ride horses in d sky. Nothing good comes easy, if u go through life with soft mindset and wishes or childhood dreams, u are not going to get anything meaningful out of it. Peace ✌️
I knew you weren’t referring to me, but words they say are like mud and we can’t tell where it splashes. I wasn’t being serious too, e b like you give me albow when you won punche them 😂… we all have different views and if not for the argument, here will be like gr*veyard. So, I’ve learnt to accept all with smiles.

I feel we have misunderstanding. There’s no time I put the hustle down. If we ever have back and forth that should be because you see ehailling as heaven and I don’t. This doesn’t mean I am not serious or I am not making money from it, but like Oliver I want more. I do business plan and feasibility study a lot, so I can tell you the best you can achieve from a race.

XGhost just said something about growth. I honestly do admit with him and what I have been telling people, there’s level to this thing. I came into the game with borrowed money and here we are today, but I ain’t done growing, there’s work to be done and I have been doing that ever since I gained consciousness of what I would love to see under the sun. Some of us can disguise like the playful child during class, but when it come to results, we are not lacking behind. While some will always like to show how good they are. Me I don’t care and I have nothing to prove to anyone. If you need help ask and not thro banter. Nobody they pay my school fees. I have put people thro that has gone on to get another car and I am still doing it.

Japa has never been my thing(supposed wife left for UK and I do freedom for her), I no get passport self, lately I am just giving it a second tot and kings men Dey drag me (from a home of 2 men and everybody no fit leave house. Why me 🤷🏻‍♂️). That’s that… but on the flip boss, there’s life they after life. Energy can be discharge and outstretched on many things today 10/15/20 years from now, is it really what the stress? We need to constantly reevaluate out tots as we deh fire down. Is not a bad thing and as for the personal thing. I don’t really think I can wake 5am to go drive, tho I wake around 4am. I have done it before, slept at farm city, chevron rd. AP at phase 1, park view, unilag mosque, cubana…. Looking back nah sufferness, it has nothing to do with hard man. And really what made me stop the early morning stuff, nah those Lexus and Benz guys coming from club. Thank God for covid that changed that view too. Tho I fit still sleep for cubana and farmcity. May the gods bless those girls for the sight they allow man to feed his eyes with, never a boring night with them 🤦‍♂️

Bolt - 107,100
Indrive - 9,000
Offline - 6,000
Total 122,100
Fuel - 30k

They say it can not be done, I did it and showed them.

Then they said not that it's impossible but it can't be consistent. I did it on all different days of the week (Monday to Friday) Saturday and Sunday is a given. Proof that even if I do this 100days I will get same minimum results.

Now their narrative has changed to "if u like make 1m in a day, wetin dey do me na him I dey think" 🤣🤡 u guys have been muted, nothing to say again. No, no think of ur life, come Uber thread come dey yarn okpata. Tpain go show una lazy drivers and kpalasa 9-5 shege. Dey there dey complain.
Worst is that one that supports Tpain and still has mouth to talk about ehailing instead of begging his God for forgiveness.
Conner44 and Depotemi shabi una do see nah jeje I deh my own, una don allow Pearl give me skibo. Well, I still won’t get involved in all this band A or Band L drivers tissues.

But my Oga Pearl it feels good to see the game changed like this. From my POV there’s nothing new, it’s all about the energy. I was looking thro prism the other day and I smiled. This hustle that used to be 10k daily target grown to 20k. I remember when Cheerful used to chase 40k, but here we are today. If I do 70/80 on indrive and you do 100 plus on Bolt. Enough is ok on a white man’s app. Just like “much respect” bolt just no fascinate me, if I open the app, I don’t know why I deh close em back.

About 9/5 or constant earning? Nah person dem say e carry 100m give person 😳 that thing touch me. We can’t be honest with ourselves, so I say atleast make I try Dey honest with myself, even if it is what it is. Like play like play person go drive for 10 years and it is not what I want to do, it is not what I want to do now em we keep saying, Me I don’t know if you are completely ok with driving (best of all boss). Today, I learnt comry spider is 10m… meaning total networth for most drivers after years of driving can’t even buy corrolla, talk more of their dream cars and that’s how this thing will be going. Inflation will keep overshadowing earning, no matter how big it gets. F*cking love Mustang and what I am seeing is around 14m, still want to get it tho, but not with this racket. Donfort don talk am finish. There’s never a career path here. Nah where you drive reach, hang key, e end. No pension, no health insurance from anywhere. Unless you are running it on the low, but how many drivers are paying attention to this? A month out of driving, just like 9 to 5 too, apprehension sets in. Come and borrow me money sets in. Trust me boss… there’s more to life then loading earning, paying bills and buying fuel. A/c don show me shege from Saturday till this morning, still going out today to check how I’ll fix the gas that keep disappearing within a day (now u see say nah personal problem 😂).

I met a young lady in her 20s that just got a job with moniepoint 900k monthly. We had a good chat, I feel that. If you give me option of Uber driver or US visa, even you will beat me if I pick the wrong chioce. So I feel some folks see thro driving. Not discouraging anyone, in solidarity and body we still gather, maybe mind and spirit differ sha. So Conner44, Depotemi Dey one side make Pearl too Dey one side. I honestly no won get myself involve in any of these. Peace ✌️

Conner44:
pope191, how far? You know that you and I don't mention or quote each other ever since we had a small altercation here over 8 months ago but on that fateful day 3 weeks ago you suddenly became bold and mentioned me because you saw I wrote gazzuzz's name here in a harmless post.

After I saw that your mention (and getting over my initial surprise) I then empathised with you and apologised for it and let the matter rest. I have never mentioned his name again ever since that day till now just because I decided to accord you some respect.

Since then, there have been some occasions where other members here have written that same name to drive their own points. There was even a time it happened and I decided to call your attention to it just as I did today but you remained mute . . . Why?

Its like, in your opinion for conner44 to mention gazzuzz's name here is a taboo but everyone else can do so and there will be no emotional trauma on your mind? I ask because that same week you chastised me for doing it 2 other people we know here did it too but you kept mute undecided someone else did it here again yesterday and the day before but you also threw your eyes away from their post.

The below is a link to the exact post that made you quote me that day

https://www.nairaland.com/2653841/uber-partner-lagos-please-share/5816#132322000

The 1st pic below is an excerpt from the paragraph that warranted your call out that day.

The 2nd pic below is your query and my reply.

You can read and decide to ignore (just as you've always done over the months) and I won't judge you. If you still carry anything against me in your mind I suggest you find a way to cleanse yourself of it. I have absolutely nothing against today you for you to single me out for your own selfish reasons here.

I have asked if you've finally gotten over gazzuzz's demise to allow others write his name without any reaction from you but you have kept mute as usual . . .

Okay 👍🏾
Conner44 you deh worry 😂 truth be told I don’t hold grudges and I honestly don’t take here seriously serious. I can’t even remember if we ever had altercation, but I remember the boss own and it was at the heat of it. Life is deep, they say it comes in turn, Who’s next in line? All these rat race and struggle will eventually end somewhere, but I feel some respect should be put on his name and not to be use to drive needless point.

About not quoting you was never intentional. I just don’t have anything to say on the matter that interest you. The fuel usage won’t make any difference. The app that is hottie won’t make any difference. What I gross or if I still drive won’t make any difference. I am just at that point where nothing move me. Nah my personal problems I deh reason now. The Job is good or bad is a matter of perspectives, all man should face their problems.

Life they say comes in circle. We are all function of another function and I guess that’s why we are here. So everyone is valid boss. I hail

Don't you think I'm a human like you and I wouldn't want to let my efforts on the car waste like that, there are ways to deal with every situation, but you coming everytime to tell me I breach a contract and you will make a move to collect the car always put me in fear and sad mood...
