I'm trying to understand the mind you people see E-hailing as... And i think the problem you have is lack of exposure..... People in uk, Canada Australia do this same E-hailing as full time jobs and take care of their families... For naija, e even pay pass most office work... You feel it's something not worth committing to becus? People kpai themselves going to office in suit for 30days...some commute with bus from egbeda to island, to collect 150 180k....to you now, that person is doing fine abi? But uber guy with his own car netting God knows how much is risking and shouldn't commit.? Everything alright sha? Risk? What risk are you talking about? That others doing other jobs are not encountering? Let's learn to think b4 we speak, i keep sayin this.... Think

You're looking down on the job? Lol ur sense of perception is like that of a typical Nigerian with acute classism.... Nigerians are funny people, same clowns go to uk, chicago, dubai, doha, and suddenly you see them okay with doing security guard work, taxi work, and they do it with joy and pride oh for YEARSSS...'stressing ur ass out'.... Most people i know in uk doing warehouse work and cleaning yansh, i no stress reach them, but una dey do am, becus na oyibo land abi? The tom foolery... So becus it's Nigeria, even if it pays you well, you shouldn't commit.? Ur Mind is warped.

I’m not saying it’s not profitable, it is. I’m a building design and site engineer, I sometimes drive with my personal car whenever I feel like and I can net 20k on just 3 trips in less than 2hrs. Of course it’s profitable, but there’s something about it that just feels like a trap, that’s why I encourage anyone who has a career to pursue to do so and not be carried away. That’s my point!
Some people can get into it and get carried away because of the profit in it. But if you cool with driving you have no issues, it can afford you a standard life I think
And why you go dey feel less because you dey drive, especially when the car na your own? Ahh!

ReadaDream:
I don see where your issue lies. Naso Abuja document they be, they do commit vehicle model.

Its the same issue I'm having with adding my car. Even my roadworthiness certificate, they didn't approve it. Find out where there office is , they should be able to sort it out there.

Wahala, will do so. Make I just Dey manage bolt and inDrive in the mean time. Thank you

Pearl1910:
No Sir, u can't. Vehicle license is not in lieu of Inspection Report. There is a place for uploading of vehicle license separate from the space to upload Inspection Report.

This is what I saw sha

Dabadwela:
Na 9 to 5 be Freedom for am. Getting paid peanuts under duress and stress. If you come get bad luck work for Nigerian business owners, those ones go insult you and embarrass and stress you before you see salary, they no dey like see you dey progress because them feel say you dey steal from them.

Abi na to open business wey inflation go commot profit then you go come dey borrow money to try meet up.

People don't understand that there's no job, business that don't come with challenges na how to manage tough situations dey differentiate exceptional people

I dey drive, I dey save more than 300k per month, I dey dress well, I dey eat well, I dey pay bills, I dey take care of myself. Me I nor understand wetin some people want make I do again o

Do you wear ties?

He can though. I submitted license few months ago and it was done. Except there is new policy to that. Uber registration can be very frustrating. They are too advance .

JoaoPedro:

If the license youb upload is blur, any simple details missing, Uber won't accept it. Ensure is very clear before concluding is Inspection report.

Another reason why I can't use Indrive.

I'm on Uber 24/7, if you like stay 10mins after your waiting time expire, Uber go start charging you. If your trip get Surge, they'll state it there categorically that they're charging rider for the waiting at surge rate.

People wey no like stress lie me, na Uber we dey use😂

And Uber riders dey different from indrive, most of them will even apologize for the time spent, but wetin concern me, both your apology and charge dey my opay account😃😃😂

😂😂😂Ah na true oh, next week won't pass me by b4 i register, I've postponed enough

Biodun1929:
lol! There was one girl that made me go to ikotun (I don't like there cos of the traffic at the junction that has 3 roads joining), after waiting for 10 minutes, the girl said she was buying clothes at one bend down boutique that she will soon be with me. I just cut call, count my loss, and canceled the trip. The girl called me 10 minutes later asking why I cancelled the trip. I abuse her life before cutting the call. Some human beings can be so heartless.

Lol abuse? GOD has given me grace over that, i no fit stoop that low again, i go just leave you dey go.... 10mins ago, this girl enta my motor, i was use back of Megamound comot go drop am. For my estate, scheme 2....but she said make i folo front cus she want drop something... I ask am if she fit get code to enta again, she come answer rudely, omo i return am back to base cancel the rubbish oh, still dey jam my music dey go 😂, I no get energy oh, on top ur 4k? Lol people sef

Biodun1929:
Have you ever encountered a stubborn passenger who refused to drop from your car?

That's where police station comes in... But if you no get that kind mind like me... Then you have time you park and watch Netflix, no roll window down, no on ac, by the time heat don cook una 2 brain, one must give way🤣, most likely she.

8 whole months

See as far as Nigeria goes, eh bros... Lol... Let's say my profession for instance, my side in IT.... I can count how many top level positions earn up to 500k on indeed... 700k ure talking IT manager level... And it'll have to be medium to large company... Small organisation with IT manager, you'll be see 300-350k....MANAGER OOH, do you know how learned you'd have to be, to be an IT manager? What certifications? Ok... Unless you have plans to japa, my brother, SADLY, driving uber(if its ur personal car) remains top paying jobs in Nigeria.... Check the percentage of business that closed down when emilokan entered, shut close, inflation crippled them... Na me(by Jesus' grace) sustain my wife own till she stand, many BIG business have exited....but many uber gees still dey game.. Still gallant... Abeg, if you know small economics, what do you call such resilience? The job is as fanciful as you make it... If it's all you've got(if it's ur car) , you're BLESSED.... Maybe corporate people spend years, 15 to 30yrs, even with their promotion, them no dey net wetin uber man dey net per month, if you have a strong back as a driver, you strong generally, sky is even ur limit... Abeg leave talk... No job is supposed to carry you away from ur purpose (which is to love and serve christ the king) not uber not CEO of shell.... It'll take you YEARS in most cases to build a business into profitability.... Uber kicks in immediately and kicks in good.... Low risk, freedom, unlimited earnings depending on individual, no employee worries and unhealthy burden to carry, salary and monitoring who's stealing and who's not serious, etc... Abeg let's not hype business as if it's one heaven, neither should we hype 9 to 5...i was earning 1.4m in dubai monthly, company provided accommodation and transport, na only food adey buy, even that one some locations go still give you.... But many times there, i felt to come back and just jeje enjoy the gentle pace of my self employment... Even till now if you offer me same job, unless you give me option to choose my location, I'll maintain my uber work... The abuse and self esteem torture i faced on the job, no money can heal, my person wey dey do care work for yankee, na so oyibo dey make am feel like say na dog, lol... Abeg abeg... Anywhere you see peace and fulfillment, no matter how others see it, dey there, whilst asking God for direction.... It's not always rosy at the other side, be it business, uber or 9 to 5...

Use phone wey get better camera snap am

Once again i feel the need to reiterate, ur success in this job depends on many factors other than engine size.

1. Location, staying in an area with high income earners will always put you ahead.
2. Your overall experience, to make the most of ur time and fuel.
3. Ur packaging.
4. Driving style, significantly affects fuel economy.
5. Not taking stupid trips.
6. THE SOUNDNESS OF UR CAR(you see this one eh?)
7. Cost of ur parts... Na why adey avoid Toyota(cus this bites HARDDD)

MOST important, Jesus. Bible says, little is much, When God is in it.... Na why some people no fit understand why some people are okay with their uber work, them no fit relate to why person love him work... Cus he's seeing the fruit of his labour, real fruit.... When i been dey iyana ipaja, omo. Hm.... Na God move me go badore in form of eviction from landlord, from badore to Abraham Adesanya (even sweeter) , i didn't know God was repositioning me, omo.... Anyway, good luck to newbies here, you'll learn on the job in time, you can't learn it all from here no matter how much you read, God be with u. Drive safe, i see some drivers driving above 80km/h 😂 wer una dey run go? Pity ur self nd family, also, it's bad for fuel economy.... Maintain 75 to 80km/h

Start in very early in the morning from somewhere Jankande, Agungi, orchid, you will get better surge ride to phase 1, Admiralty.

dont go to ikoyi or VI in the morning because most times, you won't see ride back because most people you take from lekki to VI are going to the office.

Run the whole of lekki, Ajah, Sangotedo, etc till around 3. By 4, any trip to VI or IKOYi is good, you definitely see rush time trip back to lekki, if you get another back to vi or ikoyi, run am, you'll always get trip back till 9-10pm.

For a start, you no go too stress with that time table.

Avoid all those hoodlums by the road side urging you to take short cuts, it's always police trap.

Stay safe man!

Biodun1929:
What parts of the island do you advise one to focus on...Victoria Island, Ikoyi, or Lekki/Ajah express?

Please can any Abuja driver give route advice like this please. 🙏

Djdamian:
I need some help or advice.


I have a car whose current plate number and vehicle details are still in the name of the previous owner, and it will expire in January next year. I applied for a change of ownership and chose Abuja plate number, but it’s been more than one month now with delays and excuses about processing time.

My question is:
Can I continue using the old plate number while waiting for the Abuja plate to be ready without getting into trouble with law enforcement?

Also, if the Abuja plate isn’t ready by January, can I still renew the old plate?

Do you have your recipt of purchase, change of ownership, court affidavit and police extract?

With these documents you won't have problems with them, but since the papers are up to date their is no need telling them you just purchased the car.

Alternatively let the former owner know your predicament, so you will be calling him.

You can be telling them it's your friend or church member, that he borrowed you the car to use for a while.
But make sure they don't see those documents concerning the vehicle purchase.

Bro I totally get u. But frankly speaking driving Uber full tym dey scatter body ohhh. I advise everybody to just understand ur body system. Me whenever u start to have migraine headache which affects one of my eyes I just know say I am done for d day weather I reach target or not . I also drive only on Saturdays and sundays kus I b business man...

Most Uber drivers done take care of demselves well... How can u b making money and u can't eat good quality food? Is gala and mineral food Omo feed d body dat works d money. Body no b firewood.

Uber too dey send me long long pick up haaa ,, sometimes I go see 25 mins to go pick up😂😂😂 bolt has been sending message that from now on it’s 2KM or nothing that no more long pick ups

Biodun1929:
lol! This is funny and scary at the same time. Can you explain why you think it is a trap, when someone can make 25k a day...if you work for 6 days and rest for one day of the week, that's 150k a week, and 600k a month. Why do you feel that is bad?

. I rest my case here

My brother it is well... You can't control people, some folks are just careless and behave anyhow.... Most people drive for others, hence why i was advocating for better conditions for them.... If God give me provision tomorrow and i decide to invest in uber business, I'll remotely be shutting down the cars at 6 or 7 pm,depending on when they start, my drivers MUST take rest, they'll take a bigger cut than me.... I see as rendering help than a business, passive gain rather than major... Na heart has always been my weakness, i pity them when i see them sometimes... Especially those without AC, adey feel like helping them restore it... But you'll be surprised most deliberately turn it off, those ones na danfo drivers wey dem give sedan, you can't help them.... It is well

Muhammadson2020:
. I rest my case here

Rest the case here my boss... Introduce me to a business wey i go start today, begin dey net like this.... I'm waiting.... With 3.5m capital(can buy eod) , I'm waiting o, with low risk high reward system.... I'm waiting, I'm waiting o, or give me employment.... I'm an IT support engineer tier 2....or IT project manager, salary must be above 700k(beat uber) after tax... No worry, i sabi my work, when you get it, let me know, I'll send my cv, God bless you in advance.

The kind traffic wey go dey island this Xmas . Na traffic to die for. Make una indrive user give una self sense ohh. Switch to Uber or yeye bolt.... Traffic go choke from moro.

I passed that road yesterday, night and damn, the road is getting worse everyday. It was like playing video game, swerving every second to dodge massive potholes. Thank God they're going to repair the road.

Gone are those days that Uber will automatically shut u down if u hv been online for some hours , they shut you down to take a rest
