My bad, I wrote with the price of the offers I was getting while trying to purchase one last year, but I just surf thro Jiji search and saw one for 1.4, maybe after negotiation, we can arrive at 1.2


But come to think of it, what's happening to cars? It's hard to imagine buying a used car for 1.6

IFSHR:


2001.....3k fuel will gross 12k....with more medium long trips than short trips....

Felicity001:




He's on a 2m HP @25k [/b]weekly, according to him some drivers do 35k weekly. All in [b]16months.

Purchasing, registration, painting among others falls within 1m-1.1m.

I hope this helps for a background knowledge to you.

Felicity001:


Alaye calm down oooh d way you copied me like say na me be korepe association chairman


Well, I'll guve to you freely as I have... We are good. Then jesusson can add to it because has the G.O of them all

Some people will need to employ somebody to summarise for them ooh because I'll be explaining with encounter/findings I'd/did some week ago.

Mid last week I was in my way out to opebi and I happened to use a korepe(or whatsoever its called), I was left in the bus alone with the driver just along the Allen-Opebi road traffic so I decided to engage the driver in a question conversation. Below are are what I deduced from our conversation.

He starts work as early as 5/5:30am daily and according to him most times he's already closing by 11am or 1pm which is the time I told him I'm starting work. (Lazy driver like me), Some other days he closes by 5/6pm.

With the question of how much he uses for fuel and earnings:

According to him, his daily net is btw 12-15k with 2k fuel, the worst days he buys 3k fuel with same net.

They don't run a particular route, rather they embark on routes according to market flow and traffic congestions within a route in a registered LGA. What this means is that, you can decide to do:
From Ikj Along-Salvation B/S one way trip
From Salvation b/S to Allen roundabout/Ojota/kudirat Abiola way.
Along To Ojodu... And so on and so fort.

He's on a 2m HP @25k weekly, according to him some drivers do 35k weekly. All in 16months.

Purchasing, registration, painting among others falls within 1m-1.1m.

I hope this helps for a background knowledge to you.

Crvrider:


2001!? Interesting. 2k fuel for me gives roughly 6k+. But boss how you do am with bolt and uber?

BAZ001:



Thanks, So inDriver won’t take any commission.
I need to stay back and study the APP, all the ginger to hammer this weekend has gradually gone down.

kodred:


E get wetin you nor know? ehn felicity?

Crvrider:


inDriver is not really a bad app. Study the terrain very well before accepting trips so you don't end up wasting time in traffic. That first hand knowledge of knowing where rider is going gives me inner peace, something uber can't offer. For me I don't think I'll last doing only uber for the entire day.

Duke111:


Since the day wuber removed their 3% bonus, i removed them. I can’t be working in Lagos not knowing where am going, o wrong naw. Until den Bobo all d way.

davit:
Felicity0001, is that you?

brogxy:


Going by this analysis, korepe is far better than corolla.
Lesser work hours yet still makes same or more that the almighty corolla.

I see two koropes worth more than a corolla.

.

The most interesting part of this, the rider can't cancel from his/her end and your subsequent riders will see his/her comment about you so boss go ahead and complete the trip, [b]welcome back to the hustle. [/b]But nah back door you use enter sha, you didn't even loud your entrance

Re: Partner-Driver wahala na when remittance combine with maintenance.

Bottom line from what I gather, is that the system is not sustainable. And what is happening now is doing the same old thing over and over again yet expecting different results.

If problems arise when drivers are settled with car maintenance alongside remittance, then

1) Cars should only be driven by owners
2) If not, rentals should be abolished. All cars should be given out on HP, to encourage driver commitment and responsibility
3) Toyota should only be driven by owners. HP should be on only affordable cars with less maintenance cost, and with shorter tenure to recoup investment.

My 2 kobo on the matter.

P/S: abroad UberBolt drivers are basically all car owners. Or they rent car on daily basis, with only fueling responsibilities

Na lack of rides make you get time imitate Felicity001 so?

Felicity001:


No na... I'm not that poor to offer N1,950 for a trip of almost an hour na

But come to think of it... Dis my moniker don dey go viral ooh... You sure I won't go put a patent on it so?

BAZ001:


The hustle has changed and Coro is d game changer. E pain me say I don pay activation fee. I can’t deal with rider not wearing mask or safety conscious. I’m sure of 1star from two riders cos na war for them to wear mask and after all fight d guy put am for neck, of what use is d mask if na for neck.
To crown it all d guy now picked my phone to admire it, na there I know say devil(Coro) dey use d guy to terrorize me. How una dey cope with riders and not wearing of mask?
Though a company turn me to their delivery man today
From opebi to iju, iju to eko hotels and eko to lekki
I prefer only delivery and not human beings.
Na money I dey find no be coro.

kanuisagoat:


What can we do? The prices of cars these days is just so ridiculous especially Nigerian used cars.

That is why I find it surprising that the price of used civic has remained stagnant and this in my opinion has made it a very wrong choice for the job.

Come to think of it. When civic was selling at around 1.2m and corolla around 1.6/1.7 everyone said corolla was too costly and civic was just perfect . As of now that same civic now goes for that same 1.6m

Imagine buying a vehicle at 1.6m toks minus cost of registration and plenty other miscellaneous expenses only to end up elling it 800k naija used after 1 year. What kind of depreciation is that?

Gentlelife50:

Fact, even those that invested in okada business are better off.
With one coro money u can buy like 8 bikes give it out on hp, u sure to cash out every week.

Let us see...

Toyota Corolla Vs 8 Units of Bajaj Motorcycle

Unit price of Corolla - #2,200,000
Unit price of Bajaj - #285,000( 8 ) = #2,280,000

Weekly returns for Corolla - #30,000
Weekly return of Bajaj - #8000( 8 ) = #64000

In 10 months (in an ideal situation)

Corolla would have raised - #30000*4*10 = #1,200,000

8 Units of Bajaj would have raised - #64000*4*10 = #2,560,000

Conclusion:
The Toyota Corolla (Tokunboh) is a wrong tool for rental in ehailing.

Investing in Okada business is very risky, because if Lagos state Taskforce catch you?

Ghost1994:
Each time I read how government officials extort Uberbolt drivers, my heart bleeds.

There’re many reasons why these things why we fall victims such as greed, misinformation and lack of concentration

Am gonna try and be helpful on the part of misinformation

Am gonna list some lastma/police/task force/local government touts hotspots

On the island

No parking and stopping on the entire stretch of marina and broad street, the only authorized drop off and pick up point for Uberbolt is oando filling station marina

Also no stopping at CMS bus stop both in front of that church and under the foot bridge.

No stopping or parking on the entire stretch of st Gregory’s road or any of the inner street off the street except you’re dropping Off a resident of that particular street,also no stopping or parking on the entire stretch of awolowo road ikoyi

No parking along that ikoyi passport office road, you can drop off and wait a bit but don’t park and switch off your engine,they have eyes all around

Also if you’re to park on those streets off Alfred rewane be very watchful and don’t sleep off because they patrol from time to time

Eko hotel round about is another place to be very careful about, if you’re sharp you can quickly drop off there and move sharply

Then another problem with Victoria island is that they’re many one way roads which the signs are hidden or not visible, I can’t vividly describe the streets here with texts but once you’re in VI and you’re trying to enter a street look out for signs or better still park and ask to be sure.

The newly built traffic lights at 1st and 2nd roundabout in lekki is a bit confusing, if you’re trying to make a u-turn, look out for the correct sign and turn there, else those lastma and police officers are milking people dry on a daily basis, don’t fall victim pls.

Ajah under bridge is also a hot spot

From Abraham adesanya down to epe is a bit relaxed

Now we come to mainland

First on the list is Ikeja, during the day there’s no safe spot on Ikeja except the inner inner streets of GRA and Allen area, Ikeja is very notorious for traffic offenses so it’s better you avoid them but I’ll still share some hotspots

Kodesoh street inwards GRA, if you’re not turning right towards airport road, don’t stay on the extreme right, it will be termed obstruction and watch out for the traffic light there,they change very fast

Under bridge too,if you’re not sure where you’re going just stay in the middle lane,another thing to note if you must press your phone or receive calls around Ikeja be very watchful too and vigilant

Ade niyi Jones to connect oba akran traffic light, pls don’t try and beat it because those task force policemen on bikes are always there and will give you a hot chase

Airport road,for no reason whatsoever must you stop on the entire stretch of airport road from international down to local, don’t ever ever stop or park, if you wanna pick someone just drive into the car park and wait, don’t try to be smart about it

If you’re to pick a rider at MM1 tell him or get to come in to the car park

If you’re to pick at MM2 you can pick from the arrival pick up point or car park but make sure you don’t pick or drop off a rider when you’re on the zebra crossing, that offense alone Na 50k and most importantly don’t waste time while picking up, if you don’t see the rider yet keep moving and circle round back into the airport until you see him or her

If you’re to pick at international airport tell the rider to come inside the car park not outside oh, it must be inside after the barrier else they will clamp and tow your car away

Most importantly when you’re around Ikeja you should be very smart and watchful and don’t park anyhow

Yaba is another hotspot that you don’t park anyhow on the streets except you go into the inner and isolated streets and also watch out for one way roads, another area notorious for one way roads is shomolu and bariga, I don’t really know much about those areas because I don’t go there

Surulere The traffic light in front of stadium to turn into Alhaji masha road be very careful lastma guys are always on the prowl,there’s also a turning if you miss it don’t try and turn at the next one,if you’re caught no stories oh

Also be careful around aguda area,there’re some no parking zones around there, even if you wanna park just be watchful and smart about it, the local government tours there no get joy at all

So for now these are the ones I can easily remember, the rest places I hardly go to and if I go I don’t waste time and am very vigilant before I leave there

Places like egbeda,agege,iyana ipaja, ayobo,ikotun,ikorodu,abule egbaland,ogba,somolu,bariga,igando I hardly go to these places

Places where you rarely have issues are festac,ago palace way,mile 2,ajegunle,okoko,satellite town,iba

Some other hot zones

Alakija under bridge
Apple junction(not always)
Iganmu bridge

That will be all for now

Stay safe and God bless us all

Slickleo:
Hoping we can all share the best fuel station with more accurate gauge so we go Dy patronize them because wetin I I don experience dis year allow where man Dy buy fuel is negative.

MRS opposite Santiago hotel festac Link road is very good
