U are actually the one behaving like a child, trying to get everything your way. When he posted his earnings he wasn't comparing with urs, he didn't quote you, so why not let him be. This is a free forum, he can do whatever he likes, why is his business affecting urs??

I used one of Romeo3 tactics ystday and it still worked fetched me more money but I've bn feeling bad since. (Not saka)
Found myself in d same position he described, I had to do same (I no come count bridge)

Today is my day off thanks to elders on d thread. B4 I do 7days n 24 hrs. I suffered chaiiiiiii.
Now I take days off and make more money.
I still see some newbie asking question dt has been answered on d thread or making d same
Mistake some people in past have made n boldly written here.
I will rather learn from other people's experiences than suffer.

Bottom line Nigerians don't read.

One thing almost every "uber don cast" driver here doesn't realize or failed to acknowledge is uber was not designed for rental. Once you accept this fact, a major psychological barrier is lifted and clarity may be gained.
Acceptance is key for both driver and landlord here. Uber has a model that it operates globally and that is- drive your car at your own pace to make extra cash.
We in Nigeria found a way to build a model (Rental) around this model. Here uber has no hand, that's why uber doesn't directly provide drivers or vehicles.
The uber is slavery conversation can therefore only be effective at driver/owner level. That's why people who drive their own vehicles aren't crying so much as rental drivers and landlords. Uber is like airbnb
Gazzuz and the fence crew are on the fence because of the inefficiencies that arise via the third party (drivers). If Gazzuz or dru23 drove their cars themselves, they'll spend much less on maintenance and generally enjoy higher profitability.
Personally, I don't see how 35k is so hard, its grossing 15k daily after commission. 5k for fuel, 5k for landlord, 5k for me. A mistake I think we make is wanting to remove all our expenses, including personals, from our earnings before arriving at a net income. Anything outside of fuel and recharge card for data and calls cannot be classed under operating expenses. Suppose you earn a salary of 100k after taxes and contributions i.e. pension/him etc that is your NET. Not after house rent, feeding, fees etc, all that will come out of that 100k as living expenses. How you manage it will determine how far it'll take you. But we want to remove fuel, rent, commission, dstv, Netflix and then bank 40k as net for the week... Naaa.
Finally, we need to understand and respect each other. What I put in is different from what others might. I looked at Jesusson2020 hours online and number of trips and juxtaposed with mine... I did 42 hours 33 trips against his 72 hours. Numbers don't lie. Now if he's paying his rent consistently and owner services and maintains car appropriately it'll take some time for any major car trouble to come up. Saying his engine will soon knock is plain evil.
Also, we must understand that e-hailing does not begin and end on nairaland. There's only a fraction of drivers/landlords/riders on this thread so lets stop sounding like this is the e-hailing national assembly where all matters are decided. Plenty people no know or send una here. I went to Denis at Akoka to fix my a.c. some months ago, I got to know of him on nl but the guy no even know of nairaland. Lets just chill Abeg.
There's an entitlement mentality drivers here have which I think needs to stop. Let's not confuse it with having high self esteem. If anything, I smacks of an insecure and fragile personality. Drivers need to earn what's desired and not Command it, you have to be at a certain level in life to be able to command things of others. Someone here said taxify has more drivers than uber therefore it'll ruin uber if they continue to lose drivers and I'm wondering if its drivers that are requesting rides or riders.
Lets think in perspective, but most of all let's live and let live. I must not see the world through your eyes.

I am not saying he shouldn't post whatever his earnings are, just stop singing this Uber still pays tune. I wonder who told him Uber no longer pays

If I sing Uber still pay, did I sing it for you? You have attacked me here as if I'm the one that collect your wife, or we are in a competition.

My senior driver, why not respect yourself.

Phone beeps

Rider: Where are you?
Me: I'm inside the Forte oil on Ikorodu road, just after you join from Jibowu
Rider: Please come back to Jibowu
Me: You'll be patient for me to turn at Ojuelegba

Rider keeps quiet for few seconds

Rider: There's no Forte oil on Ikorodu road
Me: I'm inside the Forte oil
Rider: Oga, there's no Forte oil there. (Trying to argue with someone around her)

Me: Yes ma'am, truly there no Forte oil there.

Cancels ride and zoom out of the Forte oil

My broda, I can see frustration all over you. Change ur mentality and life will be much better.

Rollitout:
This guy made 12k completing 13 trips and he is happy well done sir.....
13 trips on Bolt will fetch me nothing less than 25k

Interested parties should apply asap https://www.nairaland.com/5172317/rẹ-Uber-Partner-lagos-please

Gentlelife50:

If I tell you I closed by 12 (because I had an offline to catch up with though it didn't work out) and made more than you nko?
First I got airport and set destination back to island and got to island and did two more trips on surge and got another one that took me to area because I was targeting an offline.
Stop behaving like a child.

Digging up sensitve information about people just to mock them is childish and evil.

Megadrop:
Well, she's right there's no FO on Ikorodu road inwards Jibowu, the FO is at Empire by Agege motor road but some rider can be very impatient sha

Gentlelife50:

He is not the first, someone like him did before only for him to disappear even after bragging how he will buy another car in 6 months.

jesusson2020:


You people have called me all sorts of names, since I came in here, the only wrong I did was to tell people Uber still pay and better than some jobs.

I never insult any of you, but you guys choose to.

The person that take the lead in the attack is you, by calling me cheats, Uber spy and so on.

Just tell urself the truth, how has my posting affected you?

I'm not the person that frustrate your life, why taking it out on me?

izzou:


I only post bonuses please

Hardeyghold:
Hello Oga’s, I just want to ask few questions about being a driver on uber/taxify/bolt.

I will be a newbie on the uber platform likewise on bolt/taxify because I’m about to begin the job So I have zero experience. My questions are

1. Is it a must I register on both platforms (uber/bolt/taxify) if yes, please why and if No, would like to know why

2. I’m a young driver, with small stature, no 6packs, would you advice me to take the job? Though I know you have to be calm to the riders cus some would insult you etc.

3. I’m using an iPhone, would uber/taxify/bolt app work best on this phone or should I just an android phone?

4. Read something’s on this thread about not to lock your phone while on bolt because of the price etc. Incase if such occur, what’s the best way to approach your rider (even if the rider is mad)

5. Could you please share more tips

Thank you

Cooladex:

I would have checked estimate myself and told him/her.

The way i will present it sef. You must pay me pass d estimate ni sha

Real fact except mean riders... Like the lady I carried last week from omole phase one to magodo isheri, she was rude on the phone but after taking 2hrs nap (don't blame, Some Gee gave me 3k Ty after 1700 trip plus 300 change, so napping is allowed), who cares about rider rudeness or destination, I just need a trip... Got to a number before her own, already placing a call to make her know I'm close to reduce waiting time, she raise her voice "Oga call me once you get to my gate", humble me, OK ma! As ride proceeds, she demand to get to few places before final destination, dough it hovers around same axis, as fate we have it, I end trip and it was 3300. Madam voice "I can not pay such, what is it call again, app error abi, 3300 ke", I just crack internal smile, are you a driver? Or when did rider start complaining of app error
Rider; u r not talking
Me; ma, what do u want me to say, as u can see a trip of 5 mins, we end up spending almost 2hrs, I did not off d engine or a/c (show her fuel gauge)
Madam shake her head and did transfer... I pity her next driver, if d app fail, d driver should just forget it, negotiate can not work for her.

GforGee:


1. I've been using only Uber and it's been quite good alone. Adding Bolt would be better though. Using the two is just to have constant request and money flow. So if you don't have a request on one, you could get on the other.
2. Well, don't mind your stature. Mind your "mind" . You wouldn't believe how embarrassed I felt when a vulcanizer told me he thought I was just a boy been sent to fix tyre (I chose to patronise him because he's close to my house), imagine
3. IPhone is good. Even though some people still complain of having issues with iPhone 6,I've actually met someone who uses iPhone 5 without problems. So use what you have....until there's a problem or complaint from Uber /Bolt.
4. Well, you can use the tactics that have been given by people with experience. But moreover, get another phone or WiFi device to share Internet connection with, I've heard that it saves you from Bolt's malfunction.
5. Island is the best place to get rides and money. Keep your car in good shape and good physical look-you might get good and mouth watering deals on offline, be nice to your riders - you don't know who might connect you to better levels. Any other thing, post here as they come and the good people here will help.
Cheers mate, welcome to e-hailing!
