Just mark my word, I don't have any child or gf that increase my bills, just me alone, I stayed in a 1room house with colleagues, my yearly rent is 20k, my monthly bill for light and others is 1500... I don't drink.

I'm on a mission and my mission is to buy A car from Uber work, i won't be the first to achieve and I won't be the last.

I can actually buy a car now, with Wat I have save so far, but it will be dead Kia Rio, I have seen some 400-500, but I don't want.

My mission is corolla and tokunbo.

Meanwhile as e dey go, yesterday was not bad.

Self-driving cars are even more reason why Nigerians would abandon Uber. This thread is dedicated to people whose job is predicated on self-driving cars not working in Nigeria. Before the technology becomes mainstream, it would probably take 50 years.

Yes I agree. But this is Nigeria, how many go hear word ..people just do what they like.. I even stated that if uber wanted to be fair.. They should at least charge half the price local cabs charges for ride . If local cabs are charging 3k naira to get to point A to B ,uber or bolt should charge half the price.. That is fair enough for now.. But in a situation that nobody wants to work together as a team, what person go do .. As a business man I just adapt and keep pushing.. The powers are not in my hands, but in drivers collectively.. Since they refuse I can't come and kill myself.. The only thing I can do for them is make sure I handle all repairs both major or minor myself.. Am here to run a business not charity organization

Let's assume I am one of your drivers and i come to you that Oga dru last week I didn't work we dey strike for uber/bolt upward review. I even show you my dashboard that shows I didn't work through out last week on both apps.

Meanwhile, other drivers paid without any strike story.

What will be you do?

edawg:
Good morning guys,I recently purchased a vehicle to be used personally.Contacted an officer to get my driving license done and he told me It will take 3 moths to get it but I could be driving with a clearance note,pending to when I come for capturing and getting the main card.
My question is,can I register on any of the services(Uber/taxify) with the clearance note while waiting for the original?
3 months is a long time.I would appreciate any helpful information.
Gracias.

Job well done bro .. Keep it up and don't quit or stop. Just a little motivation.. Mark Cuban the billionaire that owns the Dallas NBA team Dallas . He stated that when he started his company, he didn't take vacations for years.. He was working 16 hrs a day.. The guy that owns Telsa sleeps and eats in his office.. This guy works like he is broke .. So just stay focus, you will make mistakes along the way. It is learning process . This is a Marathon race, it's a process

If you going to go on strike, you will let me know. So that you can come and park my car for me .. .. If any of my drivers want go on strike, I will tell to come and park my car ... you can strike on your own time... plus I have tracking system that I check every now and than .. If I see that the car is sitting too long in one position, na to call driver, funny enough yesterday it happen to one of my cars .. The driver was at the same spot for hours.. So I called the driver, that how far why are u still at so and so place for hours without moving.. The driver stated that she has moved from that place long time ago .. So it was the tracking network that had issues.. We had to call the company to look into it

Stop deceiving people my brother, 35k is nothing, how much fuel? Abi you no dey eat? You no dey wash your car? You no dey do maintenance? Do all those subtractions then bring out your final digits. Your trip is showing 29 trips that's a good number of fuel must have been used. Don't kill the destiny of that car because you want to buy yours, KARMA no dey forget address.

since the new company(indriver, am sure most of u guys now know them). was mention an MPR meeting i attended, i knew something was brewing, i started looking at wht i can get on this sector from the words of the players in them, someone directed me to read this page, am very sure the company hav done their due diligence(survey).

it is very possible for any company to either beat uber or killed by uber(any which way).

in nigeria, as a case study, what is needed are
1.political backing(nobody will tell u this), trust me u just need to see the names of the promoter of mtn(their top individual shareholders) and budwizer to mention few.

2.open cheque for marketing. u need to see the values Etisalat (then) use to break into the market(X3M guys made serious money and they delivered). mtn marketing cheque book is far higher than alot of states total IGR except lagos,

3.weakness of competitions, wht i saw in tht meeting is interesting, it is serious demand and supply affecting d price of each pick ups, total freedom for driver and raiders. 0% commission is just for 6-7months,their commission is around 7-9%.

this page is interesting, alot of people read this page for different reason, i just focus on the info i need and disregard insultive and abusive comments.

you guys are all hardworking and tht is the truth.

trust me alot of guys will be given a chance for referral commission(this might just be for just 1 year, but the standard will be high).

it is very possible to beat uber(there are some billionaires tht missed uber and taxify and wont miss this)

and it is very possible for uber to kill it(the dstv & hitv story, if u know, u know)

Good enough.The bolded is one of the things drivers hate. Stalking!

You are only allowed to stalk if we are on sharing ration (Percentage)

Dovehorizon:
Do not underestimate Dangote...
Few calls and Nigerian Govt will revoke Uber's licence to operate in Nigeria and then he promote his...

jesusson2020:


Oga, 35k to you is nothing, to me is something.

Maintenance is done by owner. You do the subtraction with ur brain, then know the final balance.

Why all this manipulation, I should stop working and save the car? Is been online 12hours a day meaning I'm killing the car?

When you mentioned karma, how does it relate to me doing my job, pls stop been stupid.

This InDriver App is somewhat where am thinking of. This is marvelous. Agreed negotiations. Not some non calculating men that enjoy rat race in this short life.

I believe you went to school. Profit is not counted from all the whole Money you made, subtract expenses, what you have left is your profit. Don't post 35k and open your mouth widely to say it's OK. Is that your profit? When you must have removed fuel and other miscellaneous I am pretty sure that cash won't be above 10k. When I say karma I meant you should use other people's property well so your own won't be used ruggedly.

12 hours a day? WTF? assuming your day starts by 6 you have 24-6 = 18hrs for a day. It means the engine have been on from 6am to 6pm without going off only to make 10k my brother. Excess Stress reduces your lifespan like wise that of the car. So if you have to stress yourself let the pay worth it.

Your kind of people are the ones giving car owners hopes that 35k a week is achievable.

Forget about being stupid I don't want to respond to that, but I just want to give you small sense if you go free listen.

classicdonsimon:


Those Aba business men you are condemning are 80% better than you at the moment. U are settling for a life of 3k per day which is a good one but the wickedness of using the car anyhow and calling the man to fix up shows a great deal of wickedness.when you buy your own you will understand. Why are you living an ordinary life when you can honestly work hard and live an extraordinary one?

jesusson2020:


this job is not executive job, is not job that we suppose to see graduate doing, but our economy situation is bad, many site engineers, (pope191, Xneg) 300million naira oil And gas sector are relegated to.

So for people like me going home with minimum of 3k every day is enough, afterall my boss go home with 5k every day and when repair come, I call him to bring back that 5k.

If the job gives you mental quit so u won't fall into depression like formal ABA business man Gentlelife50.

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

Stealth100:


I agree, except freelancing or contract staffing is illegal in America, I don't see them winning as well.

My point is we can demand a lil better than what we are getting here only if we can make some sacrifices. Even if na 6 hours strike once in two weeks.I don't understand why y'all see that as a bad idea. These American uber drivers have been in court for 6 bleeping years. They didn't just shut up or QUIT.

Oga are you sure you are not quoting the wrong person?

jesusson2020:
You see people who drink Don Simon are executive people. God have already bless you with a car and a good job. Rent your car to a reasonable people and start entering danfo and you get ur 35k weekly,

The reason you have to accept a trip to lasu, is because you are mugu in the job, as for the insult, is part of the job.. Just accept it by blowing kiss to those girls.

You will meet 95% of nice riders, only 5% are complainant like classicdonsimon

BAZ001:


But sir why not encourage the drivers agitating for strike in Nigeria, rather than saying quit if you are tired of driving.
Uber driver in U.S keep asking for more.
Yet in this small forum we can't have one voice.
SMH for Nigerians

dru23:


This is a 50/50 situation or better yet necessary evil . Maybe if the government provided jobs this will not happen, maybe similar apps that are home grown are not supported by Nigerians themselves eg ogataxi how many nigerians support them compare to uber? And also if uber decides to park up and leave now, the unemployment rate will spark up .. So which way now my brother.. People that are complaining about uber is still doing uber .. If I decide now to come up with an app like uber, with better price for all.. How many of you will support me, most of you will rather support the white company than a local one .. Most of you will say why should u make me rich?
