To be honest, the day I saw cheerfulgiver dashboard, I was like this guy must be crazy…

When people continued to attacked him I was like okay lemme just be watching. Immediately I found out he’s real, I got motivated and switched my gear up.

I want to prove to people that ehailing isn’t a bad hustle as most people think it is. Not a slavery hustle or whatever they might feel.

My project will be completed sooner by Gods grace and will continue with the plan B.

Below is last week hustle and breakdown are as follows:

Fuel 23,500
Tyre 6,000
Vulcanizer 500
Chicken republic/water/gum 3,650
Money dropped at home 7,000
Total: 40,650
By the way where’s dru23 …. Izzou is active recently Baba I hail sir

VaselineCrew:
This job has been stressful at times to say the least. I’m already tired, but then I see some dashboards and I’m like how?

How do you guys do it? Na wa!

In lekki here, I’ve had to cancel some trips where the pick up was flooded badly, yet I’d see some small Corolla risking it all and going through the flood. I wonder to myself, is that a resident that knows the roads and water depth, or is that a do a die e-hailer.

Today I saw one market road and I just weak, see mountains and valleys, the riders then told me, it’s okay, I can pass another route. I was almost about to start crying as I had already committed to the trip.

First week I lost a tyre, a radiator hose that was actually already failing, and an intermittent Check Engine light. Well the good thing is that I made enough money to get a new hose and a tyre, but the check engine light is still pending, as I’d rather buy a scanner than pay someone 5k.

I need to use one weekend to tour some parts of Lagos so I can increase my acceptance rate and income, especially the mainland because right now, I reject all mainland trips.

You guys on this thread are awesome sha, God bless and protect you all.

Hi Kia Optima 2010 for uber hussle who get expereince

Pearl1910:


Good and detailed analysis, but we have to level the playing field.
Assumptions:
1) Both drivers earn the same amount every week.
2) Rental driver should be saving to buy same car that HP guy is paying for.
3) Spend roughly same amount
4) 6days work a week

Now that field is leveled let's compare.

Gross 150k/week about 25k minimum a day
Net (of fuel and commission) is 90k/week

Rentals fee 30k Balance 60k
HP Fee 35k Balance 55k

Deduct living expenses of 30k/week for both men
Rentals Savings 60-30= 30k/week
HP savings 55-30= 25k/week

Now let's assume servicing and repairs gulps 20k every month. That amounts to 240k a year. (U did this analysis on shocks, linkages, hub etc some time ago)

At the end of Year 1
Rentals guy has 1.5m - 120k(half of repair cost)
HP guy has 1.250m - 240k

Savings at the end of year 1
Rentals guy 1.3m
HP guy 1m

What are the lessons?
So at the end of Year 1, rentals guy has 30% more cash than HP guy.

Assuming price of d car doesn't change in the next 1yr...Rentals guy buys his own car and saves more since he no longer pays rentals fee.
A few more months HP guy can also afford another car. Even while still paying for the first car.

You see that first car that was direct tokunbo used and managed by the HP guy, d rentals guy will need prayer and fasting to get a 1 or 2yr used and well maintained car to buy at that price.

Don't go for a very expensive car if u want to do HP.

Felicity001:
In every 10 drivers on rental only 1 or 2 have been able to maintain or drive the same car for 1yr without a change of car or partner. It's a known fact,

You can't please humans no matter how much you try. Lay on the ground they'll will still tell you you're not well flattened for them to walk through. So tell me, what is the probability that a driver will have a car for at least 12months to be able to save up and buy his own afterwards?

I'm not saying the analysis is not good, it is but how viable can it be?

Man proposes God disposes, let's pray not to be unfortunate in life because a single problem can wreck once savings of 12months in one day.

Mind you, most cars on rentals have 3rd party insurance... Pray not to knock somebody down.

Despite all of these things its is best to seek opinions, carry out a good feasibility and have at least 3 options then decide which best suit you as an individual.

Be it HP or rental I don't see any being good but only your own because your own and my own no be d same thing

To me the only HP purpose I would prefer is me making a choice of the car and selecting the car myself. Why would you be the one to select a car and still be the one to place a price tag on it? O wrong na.

CheerfulGiver:
You must be very dumb to think only drivers on HP do interstate trips. Whatever a guy on HP does, a rental guy can do with lesser pressure and expenses. If a guy can stick to a car on HP for 2 years, what makes you think that same guy if he had chosen rental won't drive a rental for just one year?

You type before thinking and you type without thinking.

Felicity001:


Do you know how many times the woman that just gave birth after 10yrs of waiting have been forthked before having that child? And someone with little or no experience about life is coming here to show us paper work. Oya come do am for real life make we see na.

Cheerfulgiver oya tell us how u got ur first ride, how long did you drive before being able to get that ride. Was it through savings from rentals or through hp or family helping out? Even if you like don't say it but every smart person here knows how.

I don't expect you to answer because you've never been helpful with info here, all you do is talk cheap. I don't talk cheap, I back my opinions with practical experiences of life. What is obtainable and not what is unattainable.

. Do you wait to be hit by an unfortunate event in life? No! Rather you learn from those before you because the life you've is just a little fraction of the life itself. So learn from experience people.

People living around agungi ajiran road, how do you deal with the flooding.

Last Saturday, took a lady from ikeja to one estate around there, when it got to a point, I had to turn back, she was yapping that, is it not other cars going..... Bla bla.


BTW, some drivers on rental bad sha, I mean some guys were still plodding through the deep water like that. , haba, pity the owner na.

.... Back to the story.
I told her.

Me: if this car stops in this flood, Will you push the car for me? She couldn't answer.

We had to turn back and follow the Osapa London route ( after she made a call to one of her friends who suggested a route) to connect to the back of agungi ajiran.

Anything flood, you are on your own, if your car gives up in the flood. Tomorrow, she will still order another car to come and pick her.

Na you and mechanic go dey reason how to resuscitate the Golden goose.
