You keep saying this all the time, right from when it was 35. Funny enough you have little or nothing to do about it. Yeah, investors can't that's the sad reality.

Someone invests about 1.5 million in getting a car, and you think 25k weekly is fair enough? At what point will he recoup his capital? Not to start talking about ROI?

I know there's nothing I can do about it ...But make we try to dey pity people as God take dey pity us. If I have a car, I can't give it out for 25k.

I rather use the money and buy fairly used Volkswagen LT bus and ply Oko-Afo to CMS. At least, drivers dey deliver 9k to 10k daily.

Gentlelife50:

I think say na only me ooo, no wonder some of them collect as much as 40k

40k a night abi for a week??

Na joke I Dey oooo

In as much as we pity them we have to be realistic here, if at all this message should be directed to the app companies.
Me said it long time ago, I won't invest in this business with that amount.
I would rather look for other things, now how many people have actually recouped their investment in this business? Even those collecting 35k, at the end of the day it's still stories.

Bros, forget that 10k daily revenue from Danfo drivers, na audio money.
True, is they make that much but they lie too much and spend their earnings on frivolity ( women, food/smoke pots and baba ijebu (2 sure and 3 direct).
My brother ventured into the business in 2015 but had to sell off the Danfo after two competent drivers dey scope him everytime dem suppose deliver money. He was always on ground to inspect the bus on Sundays, yet, they used Sakamanje for him.
The last driver was caught red handed at a restaurant at Ogudu, he lied that LASTMA arrested him and was looking for a bail out .
My brother got an info and trailed him to his usual faaji spot, where he met 2 ladies seated by him with plates full of orisirisi .
It wasn't funny.

My Oga, i never even do half of that amount but the good thing is : I am on 3 % commission, seeing Uber take just 69 naira out of 2300 naira trip totori my belle .
Moreover, i haven't been feeling too well since the turn of week couple with the fact that my brother had meetings to attend with his car.

The car owner ideology is :big fish swallow little ones. They try to enslave fellow mainland person into picking a used car and paying high weekly for rental. Imagine a man telling someone I referred to him to pay 32k weekly on the platform. And the worse part is that he also is a driver.


Now On the driver side, most of them are naive and ignorant, they hear the “make 60k weekly on Uber” and fall for it. So after getting into an agreement , they find out how bad they f***d up. And want to f**k up their bosses back... breach of agreement .


Gbas Gbo’s every where.



Like I always say.... the highest rental should be 25k weekly.

If someone still dey give u 100k a month on the platform with your car in good shape. It’s bether than 30-35k, with car written off, and fights after.

One can gross 15k in a day, dia barely a week I don't do 16/18 but I make sure I don't joke with Friday and Saturday, Monday is always another sharp day for me. But Tuesday and Wednesday, let me just say it is well

Why won't they invest in it, when Dru and Jesusson2020 are their financial advisers on UBER matter

I remember how they wanted to crucify you months back.
I think it's only a few that still invest in this, most new vehicles are spare vehicles at home where they think they can make extra money with it but the reality is 3-4months profits gets wiped out at a major repair.

Very soon the reality will 'heat' everyone and only car owners will survive. Christmas period is here, time to make money, but many car owners are planning to get a bit of the juice this season. It might not be so rosy like other Decembers.

15k gini! Left the house since 6am, couldn't get a trip for over 3 hours, changed position multiple times from ikoyi to oniru to osapa London before i got one to Parkview estate.
I have done 2 long trips after that before i went to Idimu, but there's something with Uber i don't seem to understand since yesterday .
I see cars pass by me to pick up riders in the same vicinity, i had to log out twice before i could get my first trip.
Abi na like this dem dey do after clocking the 3% commission?

Gentlelife50:
What are all these girls rubbing on their laps anytime they are going to see a man?
Anyways let me just focus on my driving, that's why I am a driver.

My brother with this your write up.. The conclusion is that this business is not for you or everybody .. A guy just posted how his neighbor or pastor was able to drive on uber.. Saved enough money to travel abroad to do his masters. And he was able to also pay for his part of his accommodation and master program.. Now I dont think the guy has two heads... this is want separate the poor and the rich.. The poor sees an obstacle and says this is not possible.. The rich sees an obstacle and says I will make it work.. Keep in mind in I have a female uber driver ,she has been driving for me for six months plus.. With the money she made she used to help herself and family.. And now she has move on to other things for now pending to tend to personal matters.... .. Successful people are not ordinary people in a sense . This are people that are willing to test the limit and go places that ordinary people or either too scare to go or don't have the heart to go.. This is why rich people barely give handout to others. They struggle for their money when others were busy saying the impossible .. My advice bro is to find another job or avenue to make money.. This uber thing is not working out well for you.. Uber is not by force.

But these babe wey dey collect 40k per night men these there hustle dey pay well oh. These life it's information(on opportunities and right skill set,service to offer) and hanging out with the right people naaa him person dey take blow oh.

I took one of my rider to eko hotel,she had a client that booked for a massage with her agency because the way it works they register with the agency and client call these agency that they need a massage and the agency sends them to go do the job. As I drop her waited for an hour the babe came down with tip of up to 30k plus the 50k they paid to her agency. Crazy local man has to be on the road for 12hrs to hit 15k.

Also do you know they have those that do massage with happy ending that one naa 100k them dey pay

Bro, the highest I've made in a day is 13k on my Ford Evil Spirit but these days it seems like i don't get to earn at all despite good positioning at ikoyi, oniru, Lekki and Maryland.
Is there anything else i need to do? I usually set destination trip to the island from Maryland 5.45am every day and i have only been lucky once, sometimes i just blow empty to the island because i like driving over there than here on the mainland (I get apprehensive a lot and the fear of Danfo bashing my car or passing through a one way route or LASTMA /council boys extorting me) makes driving on the mainland dreadful.

pope191:


The only thing that can make me drive empty to the island is if my client need me at a particular time and destination trip is not helping, d way I'll b frowning inside the car self, for me working is not by force, if trips r not coming, sleep will obviously come or I use my head to figure out other things. I can't guaranty any price as work may melt someone sometimes, but positioning and not going to all trip still remain d main tin, outside that where u set out from for the day is also important. Most times I start work from surulere have always been a drag. But if I find myself around ogba or Berger ard 7am... I'll gently drive down to omole estate and isolate from drivers, I don't set destination or bother to cancel short trips going to magodo 1 or 2, ogba or ikeja, I take dem as deh come, as long as its not 10 30 yet, your chances of getting long trip is still cool... Most times I can do short trips from omole to magodo, magodo to opebi, opebi to alausa, just within the axis I'll make 5k, from dia maybe ard 12 noon get a trip to V.I that 7k5 from V.I/ikoyi lekki may pop in, if it gets to chevron that around 2k (9k5) and if u find a trip back or further to sangotedo, ur money keep increasing, but once I find myself back to phase one and my dash is displaying 12/13k ard 5/6pm... I'll gentle set destination trip back to ogba and gently go through d back door to Awolowo rd, if I'm not getting a trip worth 2k I'm not leaving dia, most time u get surge ard that time. You can consider a trip to you and drive into unilag (Sure zone).
