Let me tell you bro, the hack to this hustle, is to always drive a rented car.

That way you're not liable for major repairs and you can comfortably drive the car to death, without a twinge of conscience. You fit even dey do shift sef, if you get padi wey sure wey no dey fúck up.

Avoid wemco, lateef Jakande, Adeniyi jone: in fact, avoid the whole of Ikeja.
In fact, avoid driving today.

I'm having a second thought about this.

Rest abeg...no time.
Person wey get eyes dey see...
I have nothing to say again. I don't want to join issues with u.
Maybe u think all Uber/Bolt drivers are on this thread.

BAZ001:
No make me choke with laugh here
I dey fence dey look as Johnnybegood12 and Abuja Viking that spend more time on side hustle than main hustle will soon join pearl... #team bolt is easy week in week out, no downtime...

BAZ001:
Thank you bro,
Don’t mind Pearl1910 making me tell stories, cause he mentioned opportunities and background.
I should also feel disadvantaged and less privileged than anybody that had both parents to nurture and guide them. I didn’t tell him how many interviews I attended before getting job cos I don’t have any godfather/connection but yet never gave up.
Anytime you try to encourage people to look outside Uber pearl and our American uncle will jump at you like you taking food from their mouth.

Thanks Baba

The thing tire person, sometimes I ask if it's the same job I do that they are talking about.

Pearl1910:
Ahhh...m*d**cr*ty na bad thing o.
But one thing I know is d day I meet you, ur life will change.
Since ur target is 10k daily. If u save 2k everyday where u can't reach it, u will have minimum 600k at the end of the year. This will be minus ur cash in hand and in the bank. If u want to and u desire to, there is no way u will not buy 1 car every 2years. Except na woman dey chop ur money or u r not just gingered to make d money or disciplined in the savings. Reason why I said join Ajo...u no go want shame and disgrace, so it will push u out to go and hussle everyday.
This isn't rocket science, it's common sense.
If u carry a business mentality or even an employee mentality do this work it will be good for u.
I am not telling u theory but tested practical and hands-on methods to succeed.
I know say e no easy, especially if u don't like driving and maybe ur car isn't very comfortable. But try this for one year and see. When u buy another car and give somebody then u can rest and flex as u like. If 100k a month is okay for u.

You are calling for new drivers to evaluate themselves and tell whether what I am saying is practical...but u are blind to see Readadream and the other guy, that just bought their own cars in less than a year of doing rentals.
My neighbors gate man is a car owner today, thanks to God and his hard work. I introduced him and encouraged him and today he owns a Toyota Matrix. He has rented an apartment in agege, he has brought his family down from Jos. His life has changed. Whatever he decides to do henceforth, it's his business, but that pedestal, that platform to get money easily to do whatever he wants has been established. And he started after covid on rental. Less than 2years.

When u started this work, there were toks cars for less than 1.5m. so don't be wondering how people are doing it, blame urself for not taking the opportunity.
But It's not too late for u too, there are still good naija used cars for less than 1.5m ask ur friends Felicity and Tojah if I am lying about this too.

dru23:
I agree with you 100%

This is why I wanted to be business man. You see. People in Yankee working for the same company for over 30yrs........ And if u notice when I found that u run ur own uber fleets . we became friends and we chatted up till this day on WhatsApp.... I tend to gravitated towards people that run their own business.
All these 9 to 5 is pure slavery for me. No matter how much money you getting paid....

I always try to encourage people to be their own boss. Start up a business and built a legacy for ur kids ........

All these 9 to 5 in Yankee is pure slavery .. You are helping people built their dreams....... I have friends that own their own business and I envy them .... They tell me that they will never work a 9 to 5 .....

Pearl1910:
Make God a partner in ur business, then your case will be different. When others are saying there is a casting down, u will be going up and forward. Even when global economy is down, it will not affect your business.
That's all I can say.

What helped me continue even after buying multiple cars is Ajo. I did daily, weekly and monthly contribution, so if I want to give myself excuse for not going out, when I remember I have to pay daily, weekly and monthly Ajo, that tot will drive me out.
A lady posted how automatic deduction savings helped her save more than 1million in a year, that's also an option but nobody will drag u if u don't fund d account.
It's hard to maintain that drive when u don't have anybody to answer to, that's why I always encourage partners, especially car owners to do contribution, thereby u will be forced to go out when pay day is drawing near. At the end of the day when u collect your money, u can use it for something tangible. Why continue to drive someone's car and be giving d person 25-30k weekly when u can drive ur car and have that amount as additional savings? That way u scale faster.

BAZ001:
Hey God ehhh... finally una don allow pearl drag me. In as much as I agree with you and sorry if I sound demeaning or discouraging others. 95% of youths in naija are on the verge of jappa it just never click.
Don’t forget I was in this hustle, moved Lagos upandan to survive... so I’m not like Buhari & not looking down on people.

See... I was an ophan at 6yrs old , my dad died 3yrs and mother 3yrs after.
I got scholarship to further my education,
Graduate and posted to Lagos to serve Nysc,
I was retained where I served in Lagos earning 37k for 3yrs. I walk to office, starve to save for my I.T certification and exams.
Bro let me not talk too much, I never had any uncle anywhere supporting me... ONLY God
I got a new job by God alone in multinational, I could remember when I was to travel out on project I didn’t have a passport, my Mgr was shocked, he asked me to go get 24hrs express Passpor so i can meet up. the coy paid for my passport and visa to go on that project.
Bro let’s not go memory lane, we all have stories to tell. But mehnn my background humble.
My point is to the guy snrman1 that had options of fake job (supported by parents/family) and asking about HP. I will rather he stay at home and look for job or pick up rentals than HP= slavery .

I’m used to not having any uncle , I’ve been fatherless and uncless all my life.
God alone is my source and Godnecctor

make Uber/bolt a stop gap and never a career ... I stand on this point from day 1 till now
Because as he thinketh in his heart so he is...
Think, work , pray yourself out of bolt driving.

Let me go and sleep,
I no condemn anybody
I no look down on you guys (real hustlers)
I will rather drive Uber than beg one uncle for money
Please make una forgive me

meobizy:
Where is your donation?

Viking07:
You made valid points. The thread can’t even make front page. Not on this Nairaland I know.

That said, I just chatted with Tgiirl and he’s very happy with the contribution so far. As at the last chat, he has received N89,500. This is way more than I expected, but I have something with round figures, so I am going to use this opportunity to APPEAL AGAIN.

Please if you’re here and you’re yet to contribute your 1k-2k, na beg I dey beg, let’s make the 89,500 become N100,000 then we close shop and end the intervention.

@Felicity0001, that 1000 wey you been wan use go buy beer, send it to him, na something.

@all those who promised to support, biko we all have today. After today na back to our various hustles.

ReadaDream:
What's happening today? Traffic on lekki-Epe inward Lekki 1 is crazy.

I've used one hour between Chevron Tollgate and Chevron traffic light

meobizy:
One knows the true gender of Nairalanders when accidents occur. This forum. Lol.

dru23:
When you give , you motivate others to give .. I am challenging everyone out their to give .........

Even if it is 1k naira each person gives .... There is strength in numbers........

I have done mine......let everyone here give 1k naira .. It will make a difference ........

I have made my own contribution .........

Viking07:
Okay, no vex.

Viking07:
This underscores the importance of belonging to at least a small group, in times like this your colleagues can/should be able to help. I remember when my wife put to bed, I got almost 100k from total strangers I’ve never met before all because we belong to the same telegram group, I got another contribution again from the WhatsApp group.

I’d like to appeal to any driver who doesn’t belong to any group, even the Bible says don’t ignore the gathering of your brethren (Hebrews 10:25). Join a telegram/WhatsApp group, if there’s non, create one and invite others. Your battery fit die for road, lastma fit hold you one day, when you post in the group men will turn up.

Well, Nairaland is a group and I believe it will work here too.
@Pearl1910, I don’t think there’s need of creating a WhatsApp group or a new thread? Unless someone is willing to go visit him physically? If not I’d suggest he posts his account number, let’s set the ball rolling.

Tgiirl na me just send you messages on WhatsApp.

Tgiirl:
Good day fellow comrades,

Is been awhile, almost 10 months since my accident still unable to walk fully.

Guys I need your help and advice on this.

Let recap what happened.
I am driver, working with my partner for over a year before the incident. I planned my wedding for last year Sept 2021 in which I travelled to around ore for my wedding introduction and engagement. The whole ceremony was successful on Saturday and we decided to return to lagos on Sunday morning .


On our way back, getting close to ijebu ode some vehicles were facing One-WAY ON OUR SIDE OF ROAD.
All of a sudden while approaching a trailer, a transport sienna car, drove out from behind the trailer on full speed.

The best option that came to my mind was to leave the road, but before I could steer out of danger. We blacked out.

On opening my eyes. The car was smoking and the sienna was right in front of us in the Bush. My legs were already squeezed and broken under the pads, I couldn't turn to see my wife and my God-mother sitted behind.

To cut the long story short.
My God-mother die instantly, my wife head was split at the forehead. My both legs had multiple fractures.

God save my life and that of my wife. After the policemen, at the checkpoint not far away from us rescue us.

We went through multiple surgeries at othepedic and babcork hospital and they were all successful.

Now,
Here is were I need help and advice.

The policemen contracted my that the poeple of the sienna driver want to take their car. But were not allowed.
The station scheduled a meeting where my father and my uber partner's elder brother represented me .
However, it was concluded over there that they need to compensate us.

When I got the report, I was not happy because I felt they are meant to visit us and the family of the deceases. But they only showed up for their vehicle.

2 to 3 months since the meeting at the policestaion, we have not heard from them.
My wife and I has been decharged from the hospital. But my legs are not fully heal to stand on. My wife has also lot her job after her company wait long enough. I has really been very tough to survive. But We Thank God for life.

What steps should I take please? Will it be best to file a court case? Your opinions will help allot.

LOL...

It's over a month already.
Picked the rider (a man) from Iyana Isolo in the morning, going to Iyana-Iba, due to his appointment, destination was changed to Iyana Ishashi.
On our way going, there was a mad traffic jam that held us on the way after passing Alaba market a bit. So, he was in a hurry to meet up with his appointment, and he bad 2 traveling bags.
When traffic was not moving, I suggested he should take 2 bikes then, one for his loads and the other for himself, so that he could meet up his appointment.
He appreciated that suggestion, so we stopped 2 bikes.
I gave him my account details to transfer as he asked.
When I made my way back to go to a sane area like Maryland and environ, na war. That area na mad drivers full there + trucks. Because of this, no amount of surge to take me to that axis, even if it's 3x high demand.
In a nutshell, he didn't transfer sha.
I called this man say him never transfer, he said he would do it now. Still the same, he didn't transfer. I called him tire, na d same thing throughout that day, the following day, the alaye blocked my numbers. Amount was 4.1k.
I wanted to overlook and hand him over to karma but when I thought about my experience driving out of that Ojo road, I contacted Bolt via mail immediately and explained. Bolt demanded for the person's contact, I sent it to them.
Later got a mail from bolt say the person has been contacted and would make my payment soon. Throughout that day, I no see anything. I mailed bolt back say I no see anything. Bolt responded that they would contact the person again and get back to me.
By the time bolt got back to me, they came with "the individual is no longer reachable", alaye don block Bolt too be that.
Them now say dem go compensate me for it. Na so I saw amount of 4k as bonus target on my profile with just 5 trips and 4 hours or so sha.
I quickly did that in the morning and won the money.
Na so e take go.
Much respect, bossman.

Muhammadson2020:
inDriver na suffer head app especially when there is no surge on Bolt. Most times you get reasonable price on inDriver is when everywhere is red on Bolt

ReadaDream:
Just like this Gerrard guy. Once I see his request, skip straight. He knows how to edit price and he is always moving around.

There's one lady too around Toying street (purple makeover or so). That lady would you take her for free
