Boss those Danfo fit into ur need?

dru23:


Very on point .. So u have to do what u have to do ...everyman for himself

tojahh:



Its a world of all man for himself. Do what works for you but stay within legality. Everyone undermining ehailing will not as low as tell you what they do to get by and how they do it, not to talk of giving you a raise as start up. Use ya head!


Meanwhile Mr. Dru, I need a car on rental

Slickleo:
Summary of it all ehailing is a life saver weda home or abroad. Nothing stressful in it nobody say make u drive 24hrs. 12hrs 10hrs 8hrs is fine

kanuisagoat:


I don't think he is just saying people should quit ehailing. He is actually advising they look beyond ehailing. I hope you know there's a difference between the two. That is, while you're driving on ehaling, plan your exit.

And I don't know where people get this from. That someone driving on ehailing must be earning less than N250k every month from salary

Yes. I make more than that from my salary. See below for November, December. Nairaland will not allow me upload more than 4. Would have posted January as well.

Crvrider:


How dare you bite the finger that fed you! Show gratitude. If ehailing were to be human how do you think it will feel regarding your remark. I think a lot of us just needs to be grateful for the opportunity life has offered us to put bread on the table without begging.

In life you have to remain steadfast, disciplined and focused if you have to get anything out of it. Its never going to be easy and if anyone tells you otherwise then its all lies.

If you get a good paying job today would you say your primary education got you the job? But that primary education was part of the process that got you to where you are, though fundamental but vital likewise ehailing. Ehailing should be seen as a fundamental aspect as we journey through.

Take out of ehailing what ehailing is willing to offer. Ehailing is not a one shop for everything. But at the same time can be everything depending on how you look at it.

During one of my ride requests I met this young girl, quite bright and intelligent. We connected and when I dropped her at her place she offered me to come into her house: its a 2 or 3 story building; each floor is a bed room except for the ground floor which serves as the sitting room. She pays 1.2m p.a. Won't go into her life details because I asked her why pay this much when you can actually build your own? She said she's already doing that!

The reason for this story is because this girl suggested to me a brilliant business idea I could venture into considering where I worked which was something I never thought about. So understanding your terrain and the little opportunities it offers is key to your survival. Being successful in life is knowing how to pick up data from your surrounding and converting that data into meaningful information that you can then use.

I guess what I am trying to say is: ehailing is a fat cow, how you milk her determines what you'll get out of her. Don't complain embrace it.

I had success in my ehailing career compared to my friends who are also into the business before me. Sometimes they are envious of my financial status. I ve had some of them ask me how I managed to save. I remember few years back when man was jobless, even to eat 3 proper square meal nah struggle. Then I was ready to take up any survival job available to keep body and soul together. This is what drove me into ehailing. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs food, shelter, clothing are the first level of a man's need. I have attained and surpass these level of needs and this is what ehailing is designed to make you have. Pay bills, eat 3 proper square meal, buy clothes etc. Life is more than that my brother, I know what i want and ready to rule my destiny and make things happen. For me to say Taxi work no be better job, I know what saw before supporting Angryigbodon on this. I think the reason for all these is because I am beginning to overgrow the hustle, let me just put it that way. And this chart explains more

Oluwabengz:


Called the debtor, she didnt take my call and she called back. she confirmed she owes you but has been busy since morning plus shs just stepped into her house. And she also said she didn't block you (I guess someone already accused her of that).
Bottom line, she promised to pay tonight, that she's not the kind of person to run away with your money

Felicity001:


Bro I get you and I also get angryibodon's point of view as well. But it is important to note that life happen in phases.

So let's stop all this talk of trying to help ourselves by all means possible. Man proposes God disposses. One thing is don't be lazy, don't keep quiet( even the bible says, a close mouth is a close destiny), don't sit inside and expect help to come knock at your door.

Make i take my bear and peper soup

....Had to take time to read the cause of the outburst and my inputs are simple..

...Alot of people are making a mistake condemning Uber/bolt job cause I feel they've been at it for quite a long time..If only we all could take time to reminisce our conditions before embarking on the journey...You won't call it a useless hustle.

...Till this day, I still see Uber and bolt as my breaking point cus without it, I won't be having anything to do with my new job and how to cope with it.. Originally I'm a very shy person..So even talking to people or staring at people about houses would've been difficult. The 1month internship ( that's what I call it) I had doing bolt, meeting different people every hour has helped me tremendously at my job...craze people full Lagos..no matter the job you do you'll meet them..and I was lucky I worked at the head quarter of meeting craze people before venturing into something else.

...Will I advice someone to quit Uber/Bolt? YES! ONLY after serious and critical thinking..As a young guy, it's a wise decision cus it's time consuming tho puts something on the table everyday. After my first rental, I didn't make any more rental for the next 3 weeks or so! Those 3weeks was hell! The car i was using was already taken if not I'd have happily gone back to bolt without thinking twice..if not for encouragement from few friends and support from someone I met still on this Uber thread....let's not even talk about sales that's if you're lucky you might get it once a month. But then, that 1million u get once or twice a month in just a day or two can not be matched doing Uber/Bolt for a year. On a crazy month I had 2 sales. Some People close sales deals EVERYDAY!

...All in all, everything should be a stepping stone, I ventured into being a realtor by mistake while doing uber..But honestly the passion was there! And I've come to realise 90% of the time, whatever you do passionately, would never leave you stranded with God by your side. GoodLuck to us all and may God continue to bless the good people of this thread.

Felicity001:


Guy even king Solomon the wisest and richest king on earth at a time sat down and after looking at all he had achieved and done he caused it and called life "vanity" meaning no big deal in life. It will get to a stage in your life that you'll look around with huge success and achievement and then you would wonder at those worshiping you sayimg in your mind "this people no know say nothing dey all these things".

What you just did now by calling ehailing rubbish is like insulting/cursing the breast you once suck from. No matter what should anybody do that. It therefore means that you've totally forgotten those days you were so desperate to earn even 2h. He that is faithful in little will be faithful in much. Same way you would say if you become a billionaire from any other job and got tired of it.

Felicity001:
Ok ooI mybgood people from Bonny Island please I need us to share love tonthis daughter of jezzebel.

Detail of trip is attached below. Got to pickup she asked me to end trip and was asking if I have cash with me. From Abule Egba to Ikotun side.
Me: you where here when the fuel attendant said their POS wasnt working I'd to buy fuel with transfer
She said she can't do transfer that she already exceeded her transfer limit for the day since the guy she was coming to meet at the hotel was on his way coming.
Me: call him to do transfer to me na.
She said she has been chatting with him But the nigga said he too cant do transfer that I should wait for him to come all the way from Iba.

My head almost tear but I just kept my cool.
Madam look for my money for me I've to pick up another rider. After enuf back and front of almost 35mins I just had to come up with something instead of allowing this girl spoil my day.

It was my 1st ride for the day( I usually rest every Tuesday then come out in the evenings to work now).

I wanted to seize her phone but I thought it will be unfair.

I asked of her IG name and WhatsApp number which she gave to me without hesitating then begged her to send my money. She promised heaven on earth to send it once its 12midnight.

Me: send my money ooh else you won't like what will happen.

I left.

I've called this girl more than 20x today she only picked my calls once and said she was on her way home, this was around 11am. She has stopped reading my messages on WhatsApp and dont taking my calls again.

Lawal Temitope
0812 693 1172 (she doesnt have a picture on her WhatsApp profile)
maitin hairline (this is the name she said she uses on IG)

My people please let's extend our love to her.

Feli my guy, I am not an ingrate like u think. I am most appreciative and humble dude u would ever meet in person. I never said ehailing is rubbish. Is just that my time with ehailing is gradually coming to an end. That's d reason for my recent outburst and I feel is about damn time I manifest God's divine plan for my life. Do u know that the wealthiest place on Earth is the graveyard. There lies billions of soul who never achieve their potentials and never lived a fulfilled life. Yes Ehailing put food on my table when there was no 3 square meal, gave me shelter, clothing, even electronic gadgets and car I have today is through ehailing. But I am not still fulfilled doing this business. I just have to leave this succour and comfort zone and test the waters. I have reached the peak in this business and the law of diminishing returns is gradually setting in. I know deep down in me that if I take this radical decision, I won't fail cos is my destiny that is calling me. Yes everything is vanity upon vanity but i would rather die empty unleashing all my potentials than trying to play safe. Last month January God of time "Kairos" appeared to me in my dream and said to me Son is about damn time. Its an instruction and revelation. I just have to move and run with it

pope191:


That is life boss, it is deep, but within we have to find some peace and satisfaction. The question is what is success? Can one be successful and not be happy? One of my boss used to b manager with Con Oil, in 2013 at the age of 52, he told me he's not happy, I looked at him with straight face and don't know what to say, he have land cruiser jump worth 9m, one bad E class and another small VW. He lived unbothered in sense that he has paid school fees for couple of people, have lands he can't remember the site and he's well connect (once stayed in 1004 wit Babangida Aliyu). So I asked him, why did he say he's not a happy man? He said many things and how he's trying to coach me not to settle for less, but his main pain is, he had been trying to do his own thing and he never get to complete it, now he's 52, where is in going to start from. I crack a faint smile like, oga! be grateful, truth is we complain why things are the way they are, life is going to do what life is meant to do, reality and nature will eventually smack everyone in the ass.
