As for me most of this ride prices are ridiculous, but wetin man go do naa, personally I prefer long distance trips more, u know say most drivers na family men, people still on higher purchase.. They have to meet their daily target naa, for you to take home like 45k-60k daily, let say u take this type of long distance trip ... 15k*6 trips =90k gross.. take home after fuel like 30k-40k, then maybe you fit collect small short trips to met your daily target maybe make extra 15k-20k..For me to break even for this hustle with this their ridiculous prices you have to know when to take long and short distance trips.. The truth is that this hustle no dey that lucrative again, to take home like 40k-80k now u have to put in more hours like 8-12hours..

This is to inform the general public that Abudu Street is now one-way entering from University Road.

I saw those touts hold one Corolla there on Friday.

The bad thing is that Google maps will ask you to follow there.

You need to go straight further and enter through Davies street and then come out through Abudu street.

Lol...sorry, this usually happens to me on Uber app, it has never happened to me on Indrive. Majority of my indrive riders are always ontime and respect time. Na Uber riders dey always feel like say you be their driver. Do you know yesterday, I got one ride from Mangoro to Isaac John in Ikeja. I was at akowonjo. I called this girl to ask if she wants me to come, cos the pickup time was 20 minutes. She said I should come. I blow reach her estate for mangoro. As I was about to let her know I was 2 minutes away, she cancelled the ride. Chai. I wan cry. This cancellation thing always happens to me on Uber, never on InDrive.

Wallahi, you can't say it any better.
All those trips are nons@nse from A-Z, but as you said, wetin man go do?
We are not making the profit that's proper in this hustle in the real sense (it's a pity). 🤦‍♂
We just dey rugged am onto say at the end of t..he week, you're already saving some 'okay' net profit.
With the kind of efforts we put in this work, we should be living large.
But this country mehhn. Tinubu come even scatter everything for us. ☹️
Baba, God no go kuku shame us oh.
It is well.


Much respect, sir.

Omoapena:
I don vex delete that stupid app cox many riders there thinks it's their birthright to delay drivers.

Glithronix:
First, that 15k trip wasn't anywhere close to 2hrs. It was 1hr 22mims. In fact, when I took a particular link from the PU, it dropped down to 1hr 09 mins >
(I was surprised). That's by the way.

How I wish say na my level dey follow me drag this stuff, e for sweet me die, cos you be my boss in this hustle and I learned from you.

However, shey you can see why we can never be on the same page?
I don't do these short trips una dey do.
Na only short trips go dey give you N500/N600/N700/N800/N900 per KM, and to me, they are all time wasters (on indrive).
While you're doing short-short trips to meet up that 15k that I did in 1hr 20mins (let's say), you go don move a lot. Can you actually complete 5 short trips in 1hr 30mins, with this kind of riders that would delay you for 10mins or more?
Let's assume you covered it in that time frame, to me, you are stressing yourself by moving to plenty PU and destinations. I will never ever do that kind business on the app.

Lastly, if 10km should give me N5k (500/km), so this trip below should be a perfect trip for everybody, right?
The destination is just less than 5km.


Much respect, sir.

Bro pls on Uber be highly selective. The ones u don't want allow them ring out or reject immediately. U will keep getting requests until the one u want shows. Pls no dey drive 20mins to pick up on Uber abeg Iz too much..

Biodun1929:
Okay. It's because I had rejected too much that day and my rating had dropped drastically. That's why u accepted it.

Nelochukwu:
Okay bro. If u allow it ring out it won't affect your ratings. But once u pick a request u sud consummate. That's y u sud be selective, very selective. But once u pick u must complete. That way ur ratings are intact.

God bless our hustle

Please what is the minimum year required for vehicle for Uber?

Yesterday was my first overnight hustle. I didn't even plan it. I wanted to stop around 11pm, but one island trip came in just as I was about to turn off the app and go home. Omo, I worked/drove from 7pm to 5am this morning. 10 hours straight back to back trips.

I thought I would make more than I made sha. How do you guys make 40-50k a day that I see people talking about on here?

I use a 2008 Accord. I used 24k fuel, and made 25k profit (49-24 =25).

cyif2003:
I don't think it was worth d risk sha

Obedibombedi:
If you pocket 25k every night after fuel for 24 nights, you have 600k cash for the month.
Consistency is key.

Nelochukwu:
Your car is consuming fuel. U really need to check it so u can fully enjoy the benefits of this hustle. Yes u doubled but actually atleast you sud triple. Cause your car engine is not more than 2.5L which normally with 25k fuel you sud atleast gross 75k and more on surge.

Please check the issue and correct it you will be very glad you did.

You really tried completing those trips so imagine you did all these and still have fuel left for tomorrow. You would be glad.

With your type of car, you need to be selective with trips. Also, the fare from midnight is usually lesser because the road is usually free. Not worth it for me.

Meanwhile, you can check my profile and send your details to my Whatsapp make i wire you 20k for using my referral link. Hope Uber paid you 30k after 25 trips.

Wear/Tear/Maintenance - Driver's nightmare

For a vehicle that churns out 400k- 600k monthly, it won't be bad to set aside 20% monthly for maintenance.

A fellow driver here was paying 80k weekly for a drive to own vehicle and still maintained his vehicle, talk more of a driver-owner.

Moove drivers pay 56-65k weekly (ref needed) .

E-hailing isn't a get rich scheme and will always favor sole-propietors.
Several drivers use it as a stepping stone to greater heights.
It breaks my heart, when we don't capitalise on this while the opportunity presents.
Who knows what policies the government will roll out to distrupt this paying hustle.

An average driver is a low mid-class earner.

I still maintain that a driver that resumed driving by August 1st 2025 , will have saved over 4M by January 31st 2026.
