Don't mind them joor ..... My own drivers are doing well and deliver on time. The only issues am having now is spending money on repairs. Once those repairs are fix . I should be ok again...

And also my drivers are married and responsible men. So there mind set will be different from the ones that are complaining

northbird:
Please, how much is Uber inspection? . It's been a while.

Those babas no dey overwork themselves for peanut, na our ehailing come pour sand sand for their garri.
Normally they just sit at their parks and gist till passenger come, that gisting alone is healthy and the kind of food they eat too (not gala and bigi cola). They can do just 3 trips in a day and be very comfortable

That's the fact, I am not trying to sound politically correct. U r using Indriver and used want to contribute to discuss on Bolt/Uber. U better wake up or continue to sleep with your Indriver. There is no way u will go out in d morning 7am and close by 7pm in the evening that u will not Net 10k. No f*cking way...there must be an explanation for that, but certainly not because there are no rides.
What do u mean we don't talk about the hurdles, what do we then talk about here everyday?
Even the Bazoo u r tagging knows 10k net a normal thing, but his own wahala is that it's not consistent and u can't add driving in ur CV.

Do u know how many Newbies I have introduced since January this year? They are all doing well and surpassing the targets sef. Newbies haven't experienced mad rush, they don't know how juicy it usually is towards end of the year, and they are contented with what can be made now. It's old guys that were making 20k - 40k daily in Ember period that are complaining now.
I take exception to d statement that I am misleading people. On the contrary u r the one misleading people if u say it's not worth it cos u don't have d experience or knowledge to make an informed contribution as a result of driving exclusively on Indriver.

Even If I choose to talk about the good and easy part of the business only, u sef pick your side and talk about the ugly and challenging side of the business...nobody will counter u provided what u r saying is d truth.

BAZ001:
Mr joetem, kindly ask him and other drivers how easy it is to net 10k a day ?
That net 10k a day no be fore newbies, except weekends. Why ?
Cause you will see 10k net on your dashboard but but not in your account because the fuel you would have used to net the 10k daily will be way more than you can imagine.

Johnchrix:
Mr Man i will not trade word with you because all I could see from your tone is transfer of agression and dessemination. How do u know I have not been taking their suggestions..u have no right to judge me because u don't know me personally, I know this is an online forum and there are many scammers, the more reason why it's hard to tender kindness here. Below is the chat I had with a niralander after being advised today...I request your apology in 72 hrs.

Good morning bosses..
Being reading a lot on this post lately.
Things are really hard for me right now so I am thinking of doing this business for a while till things pick up.
How do I go about the registration?
How soon can I start?
Is lexus es350 acceptable?
What docs do I need apart from the normal car docs?
Which location is best for trips. I stay at Igando but don't mind any location in Lagos.

Please help me out bosses. I plan to start tomorrow self if it's acceptable. I'm tired �

Pearl1910:
U just did what u say u will never understand in ur last paragraph .

Sometimes Indriver is better than Uber/Bolt like from Yaba to VI or Lekki Phase 1. That trip is not more than 1,800 to VI and 2,500 to Phase 1 on Uber/Bolt but on Indriver u will be seeing 2,500 to VI and 3,500 to Lekki.



But generally speaking Indriver can't be compared to Uber/Bolt.

eyinola:
one rider told me yesterday that is like indriver is now more expensive than bolt and i think i also notice it because yesterday inside Thomas estate while waiting for destination trip on bolt/uber i saw a request on indrive within the estate, I saw 2 mins to pick up then 3 mins to destination. Offer was 800 i accepted but indriver warned me that the trip shouldn't be less than 900 so the rider raise it to 900 , I was surprised because on bolt na 600 be dat just 3 mins trip to unity homes...I collect 1K still no give change sef

Pearl1910:
Check your mails guys, if you were invited for Bolts Virtual Roundtable, make sure u don't miss it.

All of una wan japa, who una wan leave lagos for to move ? UCHE ?

wiseoneking:
Be careful how you sense it. There is a lot that we mortals do not know. You could be the driver or the victim. For now, just cross your hands and watch the scenario unfold. Do not give a quick judgement. Is very unfortunate for what happened to this young lady. May the good Lord console her family.

eyinola:
they started selling ard 9am ;Imagine, a d attendant say sem no dey sell pass 5K..I had to tip 500 to get filled up

eyinola:
I don resume for NNPC OJODU since 5am, dem say till 8am before they will start selling

BAZ001:
Lol, I was almost going into depression or running mental at some point but this faceless thread became my distraction.

Let me give little scenario
I served (Nysc) in Lagos , got a job with multinational 2yrs after my service. Was sent on a project outside Nigeria for 3yrs. I was earning in dollars (estacodes) and all.
Fast forward to 2017/2018 Exxon Mobil took over the coy and all oil rigs and turned every staff to contractors with shitty pay (not less than 500k) and option of changing to permanent staff later... the rest is history.

First Uber driving : ( I had 1.6m cash in my account) I joined the hustle cos I thought you will earn 350k easily without stress.

2nd time: corona happened and we couldn’t go offshore again, we working from home. No more offshore allowance.
We are 9 in my team the first 3 guys dt travelled out in 2017 are now big boys. As in biggest boys
Long story short I’m the 8th person that left Nigeria after wasting my time trying to hustle and get good job cos I like Nigeria.

The only way I was encouraging myself was coming to laugh and catch cruise on this thread cos I can’t kee myself. When my former colleagues are driving 2020 cars and paying mortgage of mansion abroad, I’m her dragging with olosho/Lastma or fake alert 2000 naira.

Let me stop here for now,
But I will say it again any graduate in the age range of 25 - 38yrs driving Uber is wasting away precious time, energy and potentials.

I know it’s not easy cos I tasted of it.
BUT I will rather you do it as side hustle than be relaxed in it.
