Uber leaving Nigeria isn’t really a big loss for Uber. If anything, it has left a void in the Nigerian e-hailing industry when it comes to quality rides, professionalism, and maintaining proper standards.

Uber simply refused to compromise its standards to fit into the abnormal norms, greed, and corruption that have unfortunately become common in Nigeria.

They have moved on, and I believe the real loss is ours as Nigerians,especially for those of us who genuinely value quality, professionalism, and standards.

It's a lose to them, One can argue whether the lose is big or minimal cos over the years their income has shrinked.
Uber has shifted grounds in UK, America and Europe. The success of any man, business or entity is a function of its ability to adapt to d prevailing local conditions.
MTN, DSTV and many other companies make their biggest profits from Nigeria, some use the profit they make in Nigeria to sure up loses elsewhere.
Uber have lost and they have regretted losing their place. They tried to shift grounds, but it was too late.

Pearl1910:
Uber is a joint cause in their undoing.
They contributed in chasing drivers to the competition when they blocked more than half of their drivers in 2020/2021.

The also refused to adapt and played the catch-up too late.

is there anyone here that has driven for Uber for upto 10yrs with a functioning Uber Account?

I agree with the blocking part honestly that was a mistake at the time.

But you can't adapt to madness if you refuse to be mad bro

Ave done 9years with them and I'll miss them sourly.

BAZ001:
Bro I saw this news and remembered my poverty days , when I was living in chevron estate and decided to take danfo from mile 12 to ladipo

I know men don port go indriver and bolt, uber was never made for Nigerians we too rugged with rugged road networks and bad government.

Mehnnnn

You can never change.... you and violence are 5&6. Week in, week out ....
For Uber, it is very difficult to be upright in a very porous environment, like Nigeria. Uche took advantage, came with Nigerians needs and strategy. Madness for madness. Until Bella took over and Bolt begin to have problems too. Indrive came with Nigerian exact format and language, madness for double madness, everybody is fine.
Lowering their standard doesn't make them less, that is business and competition ethics. You operate according to the business environment you find yourself.

Why don't they adopt a payment mode like bolt?

MoonlightDrive:
If all driver owing uber should pay up, Uber may have a rethink.

Will does with credit balance on their uber account get a refund!

Glithronix:
Bolt and Indrive right now.

Bolt will likely have more of Uber rider than Indrive. Bolt just need to continue their madness, crazy commission, with continuous stupid protocols and blockings. Indrive is waiting for more riders.

obacasmir:

Because they thought Nigerians are normal . Average Nigerian always looking for tiny means to dupe or outsmart you or your system.

SHOOPSYN:

Definitely, Bolt is taking a larger percentage of the riders.
I used Uber and Indrive in the ember surge period of last year, planning to do the same this period, na so I saw the news break (omoh).
Uber really made my earnings grow as I would gross close to 200k on some exciting days without really getting stressed out.
Well, na me and my indrive alone this period.
It is well.



Much respect, boss.

Driving without Ac is completely bad and doesn't help me as a driver. I have tried working without Ac last week and honestly, the difference is huge. Driving without Ac adds to your stress big time. Driving with AC always on i get more comfort driving. Sometimes i get to work longer and enjoy it

yeah it's just stupid and unhealthy. I actually function well and make more money driving with AC

Bolt should take advantage of this uber exiting the market and unblock most of their drivers that were blocked for declining request and the ones that committed minor to little offense so they can have enough drivers everywhere to honour ride request from customers. If they don’t do this, majority of the riders will start using inDrive due to more availability of drivers on the platform.

You are a part-time driver.
Very hard to find fulltime drivers who worked between 2014 and 2020 still with valid accounts.

Question

Do you use AC for all your Indrive trips?

This is a very big lie ooo as per not finding drivers. How u conclude is amazing to me ooo. Like how u concluded I'm a part time driver

I know some folks who worked fully on Uber between dose years u mentioned

Can you mention one area is better than Bolt or Indrive, since you talk about professionism, btw Uber and Bolt which can you term Professional.

Understand the meaning of Professional because I don't know how you tag that word to Uber, because left to me, Bolt is a better Professional than Uber in the Nigeria market space.

Again you said, Nigerians and Nigeria are the biggest losses. I can only say the State government is the only entity that has just a little to lose because the annually operational license fee is gone, but to the question of biggest losers? Uber is the biggest loser here, If you do not know meet somebody else to educate you on how they're the biggest lovers.

Uber lack Professionanism, the Nigerian market space is unique and highly volatile, in every aspect. This is not the question of corruption or government policies, every foreign investors who has businesses in other countries usually come with a different template and approaches when they come to Nig. but in the aspect of Uber, they think they where doing Nigerians and Nigeria a favour by coming to do business in Nigeria. Look where their foolish and stringent policies have kanded them.

Uber has a very bad policy all over the world not just in Nigeria, reason why they didnt only left Nigeria market space but other 12 countries and more still counting.

Cupidkc:
You have said it all. Uber has a global standard that simply can't fit into the "madness" in this zoo.

What standard? Mention one standard that was favourable to 1st, its driver's and then riders. Mention just 1.

An app that won't allow a driver have both the driver's and the riders app running on the same phone?
Do you have any idea that particular policy on its got them block from using the app ever again?
What sort of standard is that?

In which areas did they tried to shift ground? You know I've left the long ago b4 they finally left Nigeria, so pls educate me.

To me the damage was long done, they failed to listen to driver's opinions and advice, yet they call them partners. How can you call me your business partner, yet you wont take advice from me.

I remember then I was still active in the street, then when Uche was the front runner for Taxify/Bolt, when you give Uche a suggestion you will see it effective on the app, meaning Bolt listens to its partner, but Uber... NEVER!

Why won't their revenue shrink, how would you go one blocking majority of your premium drivers... do you know that it was where those drivers Uber blocked that potted to Bolt.

Do you know how many drivers went into depression from Uber blockage? Do you know how it feels or what it means to take away or block the source of livelihood for a family man?

Na Uber kill themselves with their hands and e sweet me for belle well well

Ave done 9years with them and I'll miss them sourly.

9yrs is a whole lot i must commend you on that.

A few questions.
1. How many trips did you completed in these 9yrs, this will help us judge how active you drove with the app.
2. In these 9yrs, how many time where.you blocked in these 9yrs?
3. In these 9yrs when you drove as a driver, did you at any point was able to use both the driver and riders app on the same phone?
4. Where you able to order a ride for your family or relatives or friends while you where having your driver's app also on the same phone?

Give answers to these questions lets see how true this your claim is abiut driving with uber for 9yrs

Good day house. I intend to rejoin the course of ehailing for the ember months. Do I need to be worried about papers for bolt and indrive e.g. all-route, lasdri, etc? Or my normal car papers aew good enough?

ebiye55:
Question

Do you use AC for all your Indrive trips?

Yes, boss.
Note, I don't pick cheap prices. Big money only.


Much respect, boss.

Please recommend a very very good auto paint shop for me.

Hahaha like I have the time to be answering such questions. My brother I absolutely have nothing to prove to anyone esp not you. If u assume I'm a part time driver then u r right and if I KNOW that I'm a full time driver I'm also right. I'm a career driver for many years by choice ooo.

Atleast u saw 9years on d ticket so assume what u want but know I have paid my dues.

I'm more full time even than pearl

Felicity001:

I l

1. They started showing destination of trip
2. U can now see the price before u accept the trip
3. They didn't block drivers for cancellation again
4. U can cash-out your money before the next Monday
5. Registration wasn't so strict again.

Too late to cry when the head has already been chopped off.

They dug their grave with their useless polices.

How far with that their partner "FLEET" that year that was giving 2014 corolla for HP later turned to IVM and lastly to those China korope car with 3 abi na 2 cylinders. Na that fleet i pityfor pass because I know it would have been a great lost for them too

Good for you then, now your sister company (partner) had left, what was their reason for leaving if I may ask.
Atleast for someone who is a partner for 9urs, you should demand some explanation.

Was it bad government policies or bad company policies?

Now that UBER is no more in Nigeria, which app would you partner with now?

Do you see Uber exit as a lost to your income?

That's Moove na.
They will continue their business. Afteral their drivers still use Bolt and aindrive to work

Oh... yeah "MOOVE", thank you.

You see? In the beginning Uber prohibit them from using other apps. So they later went independent from uber.

That is to show to you that the uber business policies wasn't favourable

Pearl my boy. Always assuming he knows it all while truly he knows nothing. A small man that always try to make others small like him

If u were humble and firstly acknowledged my 9yrs experience esp after I proved u wronged once again rather you said I'm a part time driver because in ur small mind I just busted ur 10years theory . So therefore I must be a part time

Once a narrative goes beyond ur head then u always try to force issues. Typical of a child man.

U r a driver I'm a bizness man

Pearl1910:

U are actually d insecure person. A bigger man tries to make others big and secure but u..rather the opposite. Quick to conclude like e hailing revolves around you . But yet u truly don't know much for u not to have known that grossing high doesn't automatically mean more profits.

Ain't u insecure rather than first acknowledge that ave done 9yrs then humbly ask me to also attach the no of trips consumated I would have obliged but rather ur asking was for judgmental purposes not for information.

U r truly hardworking pearl but u r a driver. Clearly not a bizness man.

you be correct guy
