I went through the post and the picture below caps it for me.
On my post the other day, I said the distraction from Uber will not allow you concentrate on anything study, this is what I mean.

If you're driving and you want to pursue a career/business, you need to know when to stop driving. You can combine whatever job/business with driving later.
It's easier to combine 9-5 with Uber than to migrate to something else from Uber.

Why are you calling me an ancient man? How did you find out I am ancient? 🤔 after if I call you a certain troll now the other troll will immediately jump out to defend 'yourselves'

Anyway, depending on your tenacity . . . You might still be complaining like you are currently doing till circa July 2027. Nothing will change for you except for the worse and ehailing will still be a business by then.

So why not give up now and save yourself the headaches down the road? Why do you want us here to give up along with you? Was anyone here connected to your placenta at birth? Why must you choose to drown with a crowd instead of all alone?

Mschew, and you say I'm the selfish one here right?

Conner44:
Well, as I've opined before. It is high time we all start looking towards the CNG project. It is the ONLY VIABLE SOLUTION to the issues being experienced on the job today.

Do you have any savings? Why not borrow the balance and go to get your vehicle professionally converted to use both petrol and CNG? You can work this December and clear off most if not all of the loan by working hard and saving every kobo possible even while being a bit flexible to accommodate the family on Xmas eve/day. After which you pay off the rest of the loan and keep making your profits no matter what come from early next year.

So in essence all im saying is CNG conversion for ehailing workers is a Win - Win 🏆 🙌

Transportation is a necessity and VIP Transportation is a niche market that is not gonna dissappear anytime soon. Better evolve with it or get left behind. Since the app coys aren't ready to increase the rider fees then it's imperative that you as a driver reduce your fueling fees to compensate. Whenever the app coys get their senses back and do the needful you'd be making a double killing on your profits 📈

Win - Win 🏆 🙌

Of course those afraid of CNG can go get a smaller displacement engine vehicle 🙄. . . But for me, using over 5 million naira to buy a tuke-tuke starlet type of car is a huge NO-NO, I dunno about you though

Have a wonderful weekend ahead guys

Omoapena:
Bros, how will you concentrate when you have bills to pay, you can only stop driving totally when you have saved enough to sustain you through the period you want to learn other things, if not, you can't focus at all.


It's not that easy bro...

Jacksonfire:
From your write up now people like you dey always say person need to work hard every day before e fit make am for life..

And you forgot that you only need to work smart to make it in life .

If you think my life depend on only driving for Uber/bolt unlike you.. then you must be foolish.. .. That's why I called you an Ancient man. change your circle it will do you good

vivalavida:
Price of CNG is even going up.

Conner44:
No matter how UP the price of CNG goes it can never get to HALF the price of petrol 'pound for pound' so it's still a win - win 🏆 🙌

Conner44:
Okay you say one shouldn't work hard abi? that they should work SMART oya, can you give us an example of how you want ehailing drivers to work 'smart' ? Just one good example would do

And you say you have other things you do that give you cash flow, i'm sure it's not a 9-5 job because here you are, early on a workday searching for trips to wherever instead of heading to an 'office' so pray tell, what is this other cash flow you maintain that gives you the freedom to drive on very early workday mornings and also have spare time to come here convulsing on our mentions? 🤔

I'm really curious . . .

Omoapena:
Hmm, the way you talk at times always amaze me, I guess you're holding one political or government seat to be sure of this, price just went from 200 to 450, you should be asking what made the price shoot that high in space of 1 year when the percentage of people using CNG is like 5% compared to gasoline users, what will happen to the price if users increase to like 30%.




I remember when they were converting CNG kits for just 200k, now it's around 1m, ask yourself why that much increase, demands is shooting up the price and you think demand won't shoot up the price by the time alot of people switches, I still ask one question, what's the effect of CNG to the resale value of the car.

Jacksonfire:
So I should tell you about my life because of what? Are we related or are you among my close friends

If you can't find ways to better your wretched life by ur self or ask people ahead of you in a polite friendly ways, then continue driving all the days of your life.. for you information I have my own business, got the fund from ( 9-5 job) I only drive weekends when I feel like and it's not compulsory..

Now people like una dey do fastest finger to pick ridiculous ride on indrive BECUs you have no other option..

Omoapena:
If I convert my car to CNG, will it reduce the resale value or increase it, and will I be able to get buyer quickly for it...

ksmart027:
You can uninstall the kit when you want to sell.

It will be obvious cox the manifold VALVE COVER will show they have drilled and worked on it which may turn off buyer...

So, as development don hit Orchid road now, make dem complete am asap. That road is long overdue.
I sympathize with victims of the expansion, but the road deserves peace.
Orchid is one of the best positioning spots in lekki. Always hot for trips.

MODIFIED:
Abeg, shey na me dey stubborn ni? Anytime I take a trip to orchid road as confirm the location to the rider, I pronounce it as "or-kid", but riders always correct me by pronouncing it as " or-sheed".
But wetin me I know say the oyinbo wey get the word no get anything like "or-sheed", na "or-kid" be the correct pronunciation.
Abi there's something I need to know?

Much respect, bosses.

Took my first trip on indrive today, didn't pay attention to the Map instructions when going to pick up the rider and while dropping off ... burnt fuel like kilode.... The rider was nice but my fuel just dey burn, price on indrive can be ridiculous. Still a novice bit I don't know if I have the willpower to continue yet.... Fuel of 20k no reach anywhere for Meter and it's burning fast. The money I got used it for fuel back ....no gain yet o , trial and error moment ,moment of Truth

Aren't you the newbie with a 2.4L engine tool?

Yep! Sell it and use the money judiciously

OR . . .







OR . . .








Wait for it . . .






Convert to CNG and SEE THE ELUSIVE GAIN you have been searching for

You got 2 choices . . . 👌 (That's if your vehicle is in top shape already)

Good luck 🙏

Sirchiboy:

Bro I started this uber February and yet I couldn't make any gain.
All my saving gone on car repair .
This week I have spent 100k plus on car repair
As I speak I have lost hope.
Nothing in my account.
I know sleep from money to night thinking of my life

Thinking of going back to village

Luxurydriverng:
Bro don't sell your car just yet, you have options at least wait this January February after the crazy ember fares. You can raise enough money to convert to CNG.
