ogataxi should create more awareness. You don't create an app like Uber and just expect drivers to sign up, drivers need riders, so get riders to use your app

You miss my point.. Nigerians will not patronise each other. They feel they too smart, like at OGATAXI .. How many of you guys patronise them? This is a local business ,maybe if people decides to patronise ogataxi, uber will sit up and do better and make it competing for everyone to enjoy... what about ivonson car manufacture company ? How many of you guys buy their cars? Even Ghana and other countries buy from them

Not for a vehicle of 7 months old(almost brand new) , forget naija roads, a Toyota made in 2018 just 7 months old would not have a shaft issue in 7 months.

Okay, so I just walked up to a site labourer at Ajah and asked how much they earn daily. Guess what? 3k.

So if this guy leaves his labourer work that let's him take home 3k for uber that gives the same or slightly higher take home, is he wise or foolish?

Personally, I would stay on the labourer job and learn from the bricklayers how to build properly, maybe in two years I could graduate from labourer to bricklayer.

Driving uber for two years stagnates your personal growth for two years. No valuable skill learned for two years, no reasonable experience gathered in two years. No real prospect for growth even if you save 3k/day.

Just me thinking out loud sha.

Stealth100:


And have you checked uber's ultimate goal? To develop driverless cars that will eliminate the need for them to partner with car owners/drivers. In other words, to eliminate drivers completely.

So the current model is just a means to an end. Drivers in America know this and the basis of their last strike was for them to be made full time employees of uber with health and retirement benefits instead of just partners, since uber sets all the condition.

The result of the protest and lawsuit? Uber committed $20million in bonus and special packages for their drivers in America just so they can go PLC.

Even this does not assure there will be no further law suits challenging their business model. In 9ja, we are sleeping hard. Even the slightest request, we can not make from these companies when we have so much collective power.

Here you just thinking stupid, the laborer work does it come every day? Why not quit Uber and go do bricklayer.

And also 3k you're paid is in some site, from there you will pay transport and eat.

But with Uber I dont enter danfo. I drive luxury car with Ac, still eat fufu with egusi with 2 meat, after all this I still have 3k.
I have drink Fanta and bread and am tired of it, God will never take me back there, in Jesus name amen.

Am sure you didn't understand the narrative. It's not a 2018 Corolla bro. Can you buy a Corolla 2018 for uber?

Don't mind Xng he is just been stupid, no need to correct him, he is trying to claim Mr know all.

I respect your views man, but it's safe to say our perspective of life is like north and south. Very different.

I've already diversified my business and if everything goes as planned, I'll definitely post something here about it.

This doesn't mean I still can't invest in uber if the conditions can be better.

jesusson2020:


I have good records for the past 5 months no single dent, same car. I love this car as if it's mine.

I only do Uber meaning I can't drive more than 12 hours a day. So tell me how I'm killing owners car.

What am I trying to explain to the frustrated men here is.

Car owner invest millions to buy a car, me I brought nothing but my phone and energy. And I make 3k, car owner make 5k.my own 3k I take it home and use it for myself only. Car owner will still bring his 5k back for fixing. Who should be more frustrated? Of course car owner.

But the Gentlelife50 and Co feel they are more frustrated.

I read about oga dru23, how he struggle after initial investment, then came back replan. And now doing much better.

God will deliver all of you... from Gentlelife50, pope191 Xneg, Stealth100, Tyche, darmilolah, mrsage, Chuwaa, eherbal, QuitNotice.

For Stealth100 that advise me to remain a laborer. My broda let me tell you my target.

I'm a future pastor, this is the part God reveal to me to follow. If I can achieve my own car via Uber leave the rest for God.

I wanted to give you a nice meme reply... but I stop.. This is it bro if the uber partners are expecting full benefits, insurance etc .. They are all smoking the strongest weed made available, you know weed is legal in some states now .. Now back to the matter uber will not give them benefits at all ,in a way the relationship between uber and partners/ driver is more like sub contract.. Uber gets a job via their app and than gives the job to drivers at a certain rate.. So do now want them to provide benefits to them ? I think you must have misunderstood the strike.. What they are fighting for is better price and lower commission.. What is the difference between uber and cab owners in the USA .. Not much o .. Should the cab driver be asking for benefits from cab owners? Uber drivers / partner work at their own time and work as much or as little as they want .. For any company to provide benefits you have to be full time employee.. If they are not happy they should either quit or do Lyft ,which is uber competitor... not by force. Those that are making it are making.. Just like in business u learn to adapt or adjust. I have that does uber in the USA ,he does not mind it .he does when he feels like and works out well for him

Well it is always good to diversified your business.. Slowly and carefully I will increase my fleet .. I will continue to do uber until It no longer makes business sense .. Till than I will keep pushing

I don't see how uber will ever be unprofitable for you considering how much you get your cars. Your business reality is different from 95% of partners on uber. So I wish you all the best.

dru23:


Yes I saw it .. But those drivers / partners are smoking the strongest weed available.. Uber will never agree to that whole benefits stuff health insurance etc .. It cost money to do all that.. I don't see that happening at all .. But I wish them the best of luck... the only thing uber can try and do is increase the fare for them, so that more goes to the driver . That is the least they can do . But again that whole health insurance package ,sick time etc. I don't see that happening what's so ever.. It cost money for that

pope191:


Glad u know it will get to a point it no longer make sense... Only God knows what the 3k gang will do, please easy give someone heart attack

dru23:


This why I encourage people to dump corolla and go for cars like a civic.. This same people that are buying corolla tokunbo up and down ,can easily switch to civic with a low or much lower landing cost.. I just don't want to spill out my secrets ,if only people can hear word,,, ditch the corolla, ditch the elantra.. But nope. How do they expect to recoup their money fast.. My plan down the line is to get enough cars ,good cars . And than reduce my weekly rental.. In the hopes that I will be able to attract good drivers .. For now my maintenance is low ,due to the fact that I do all my maintenance oil change, tires, mechanical stuff all myself.. All my drivers knows my mechanic, so if stuff breaks down they go to the mechanic directly .. But I think outside the box .. Either way it was nice chatting with you.. And may God bless all of our hustle

Stealth100:


This is exactly what I told someone today, with six corolla on uber, all Tokunbo at an average of 1.7m

I told her to consider your civic, it actually makes more business sense.

Stay blessed.
